Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and careful cat sitter
I have cared for cats my entire life, raising four rescue cats with completely different personalities—from a grumpy 11-year-old senior to a very shy and timid boy. Because my cats are rescues, they arrived with various health issues, including joint problems. This means I am highly experienced in senior care and handling sick or delicate cats. As a Biochemist, I am incredibly detail-oriented; I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, taking temperatures, and monitoring subtle changes in a cat's daily routine or litter box usage. Whether your cat is a velcro-kitty or a shy independent soul, I know how to read their boundaries and adapt entirely to their pace.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Since I offer drop-in visits and house-sitting at the owner's home, treating your space with the utmost respect is my top priority. I am a very responsible, tidy, and non-smoking person. Before leaving your house, I always double-check that all doors and windows are completely secure. Due to my background as a Biochemist and my experience nursing rescue cats, I have a very trained eye for safety and health. I strictly monitor their litter box habits, eating patterns, and mood to ensure they are completely safe and stress-free while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Francisca was wonderful and out two cats were well looked after. She sent daily photos and videos so we could see the cats were doing fine while we were away. Both cats were very comfortable around her and she even managed to get some love from Mog, who is very nervous around everybody. Francisca is very pleasant and helpful to customers, and I am very happy to recommend her to others.
We are so happy with the care our cats received! She was amazingly sweet with them from day one. What really stood out was how easily she adjusted to their different ages and personalities—balancing high-energy playtime for the younger one with gentle, tailored attention for the older one. She was very punctual, and her communication throughout was fantastic. Getting regular updates and photos while we were away gave us total peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would love to have her back anytime! Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Francisca as a cat sitter. She took wonderful care of my cats and was always patient, loving, and attentive. She treated them with genuine care, kept me updated, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. She is trustworthy, responsible, and truly loves animals. I would happily trust her with my cats again.
Francisca learned fast about my cat needs, as the days passed I could reach her through facetime to make sure everything was ok. I've known she took care of her two dogs and 4 cats in her hometown when we met, so that was it to me. I knew her passion and trustworthy manners to animals. It's a very easygoing and responsible person.
I've known Francisca to be a kind, responsible, and trustworthy person who genuinely loves animals. She is patient, attentive, and always makes sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I would confidently recommend Francisca to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet caregiver on Rover.

Schedule
I am currently living in Dublin studying English. My classes run from 1 PM to 6 PM, Monday to Friday. This means I have plenty of time for morning visits (before 12 PM) and evening cuddles (after 6:30 PM) to feed and play with your cat. I am also fully available on weekends for drop-ins or overnight house-sitting. Being based in the Rialto area, I can easily commute to ensure your cat's routine stays consistent and stress-free.
- CatsFrancisca can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please share any specific dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or medications your cat requires. With my background in biochemistry and years of experience caring for rescue cats with delicate health issues, I am fully equipped to handle special medical needs. However, I need to know their exact routines, favorite hiding spots, and how they typically show stress or discomfort so I can provide the safest environment possible.
