Cats

Availability

I currently work part-time and have very flexible hours. This allows me to adjust my schedule around your cat’s needs, including mornings, evenings, and mid-day visits. I can also choose not to work on certain days if needed, so I’m often available for last-minute or extended bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

Your cat will stay in a comfortable, safe, and spacious environment. My home has plenty of room for cats to explore, relax, and find their favorite cozy spots. I use non-fire cooking appliances for added safety, and the floor heating keeps the space warm and comfortable—especially great for cats who love to nap on warm surfaces. I always prioritize a calm, secure environment where your cat can feel at ease.

Information Karen L. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know about your cat’s personality, routines, and any health concerns ahead of time. I have experience caring for cats throughout their lives, including during illness and end-of-life care, so I understand the needs of cats at every stage. Sharing this information ensures I can provide the best, most attentive care tailored to your cat.

A typical day

A typical day begins calmly, checking that the cats are comfortable and their needs are met. Meals are served, water is refreshed, and litter boxes are cleaned. Some time is spent playing gently and giving them light exercise to keep them active and happy. Quiet moments follow, sitting nearby while they nap or offering pets and attention. I stay attentive to any changes in behavior or health, ensuring they feel safe, content, and relaxed throughout the day.

Cat lover!

Cat care experience

Hi! I grew up with cats and have years of experience caring for them of all ages and personalities. I handle all daily care—feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and keeping their routines consistent. I’m very attentive to behavior changes and can quickly spot when a cat isn’t feeling well. I’m comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquid medicine, and injections, and I can take your cat to the vet if needed. I approach every cat with patience and kindness, making sure they feel safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. You can count on me for reliable communication, gentle care, and lots of love for your feline family members.

Such a sweet sitter! She took care of my cat during Christmas holiday and had to rebook her again. Always on time and loved the pictured and all the details about the cats while I was gone. Felt super safe leaving my babies with her. Will book again❤️ Thank you Karen, you are so lovely 🥰

Karen was super flexible and kind! she took really good care of Mozarella, accomdated her needs, took her to her vet appointments. She made sure to have all the details beforehand and was very flexible when anything came up. Moreover, I was always updated with pictures and details of her care. Highly recommended!

Karen did a great job taking care of my cat Pluto. She was very attentive to her needs and was able to bond with my cat who can take a while adjusting to new people. Karen is very sweet, friendly and gentle and I would definitely recommend her :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
