Safety, trust & environment

Because of my cat, I’m unfortunately not able to accommodate care in my home. In your home, however, I will try to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and stick to their regular routine. I take a gentle approach to meeting animals and will ensure the time I spend with them is high quality, no matter the length.

Information Lila D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your cat’s vet information just in case of an emergency! If possible, I prefer to do meet & greets before the drop-ins begin. Meet & greets are a great way for me to introduce myself to your kitty and learn about their needs, as well as to make sure I’m the right fit for you and your cat :)

A typical day

Since I have a cat of my own, I’m well equipped with knowledge of how to get their energy out. I‘ll ask you for your cat’s favorite toy(s) so I can use them when we’re playing :)

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of my cat, Tilly, since she was a kitten, and she’s my little soulmate! I’ve also grown up with family dogs and maintained large roles in their care. I have experience administering medicine (oral and topical) and being attentive to pets’ behavioral changes and needs. I also just truly love animals and will give them plenty of pets if they let me! I’m communicative and I’d love to send you cute pictures of your pets while you’re away.

Lila is absolutely wonderful! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates clearly and often, and takes all the stress out of being away from home. It’s such a relief knowing our cats are in her care, we always come back to happy pets and a tidy home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

Lila is always great with our two slightly special needs kitties, and they love when she visits! She’s thorough with her notes, sends great photos, and genuinely cares about our cats’ health and happiness. Would recommend Lila to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible pet sitter!

Lila will give your fur baby the utmost care & attention. My cat is entering a different stage of life and Lila understood and anticipated her needs. We received detailed notes and photos and Weebo I know looked forward to seeing her daily! Weebo is now part of Lila’s fan club!

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.
