Lana can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs

Availability

I work more than full-time as a preschool teacher for about 11 hours per day. This makes house sitting for dogs over the weekdays impossible. However, I would be willing to take on house sitting for cats during the week if they are able to be alone for 11 hours. My weekends are completely clear and I can house sit for those days.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment will not be available to take in additional pets. My landlord has a policy on that. However, when working with other's pets, I have experience with leashing, harnessing, and walking safely with a variety of dogs or cats (yes, I have walked my cats before!). I am very conscious and situationally aware with my own pets and those of my friends, family, neighbors, and clients.

Information Lana M. would like to know about your pet

I am flexible and amenable for different types of care or accomodations that a pet may need. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any specific considerations to keep in mind with your fur baby!

A typical day

As an extrovert, I have lots of high energy like most doggos and enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood. I like playing fetch and even tug of war with dogs. As an avid bookworm, I also enjoy quiet time with lower energy animals like cats. I've taken to reading aloud to my own kitty if she feels a little restless and do so with Rover client's kitties as well.

Pet care experience

I have experience with overnight house sitting for my friends and neighbors, but have also been using Rover for approximately 5 years. I am also a pet owner myself for the past 8 years. I love dogs of all sizes and have a special place in my heart for big dogs! I do very well with cats and love bonding with them on their terms. I am a preschool teacher and work on weekdays from 7:30am to 6:30 pm (I work a lot of overtime) and am willing to check on pets in the evening. However, the time that I am at work makes it impossible to give dogs that need to be taken out on walks during the day an impossibility. I can house sit for cats during the week as long as they are able to be alone for the 11 hours that I will be gone. Feel free to ask any questions for clarifications or exceptions.

We consider Lana our go-to cat/housesitter! Couldn’t ask for a better one — our cats are obsessed with her!

Lana was an incredible housesitter with our cats! We especially appreciated that she came to meet the cats beforehand, was communicative, and sent videos of them playing with her during the stay. We also appreciated that when one cat took up a new habit (chewing on power chords), Lana noticed and took the time to stow those away. We will be booking with Lana again!

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.
