My 📞 is full of cat photos

Pet care experience

Hi! I have six cats of my own (Lucy, Scout, and Butters, and three foster fails Captain Holt, Jake Peralta, and Cheddar). I have been taking care of cats (mine and former roommates’) for over five years, and have been on Rover since fall 2020. I’m super enthusiastic about animals and not afraid of poop. I work as an accountant by day. Nothing excited me more than cuddling a tiny kitten or befriending a grumpy old man cat. I’ll treat your pets as if they are my own, and I’ll make sure you get plenty of photos while I’m watching your furry friends. For new clients, I prefer a minimum 72 hour notice with an in person meet and greet or a phone call/face time so that I can go through details and ask any questions. Repeat clients: if you need to schedule last minute and you see that I’m unavailable, shoot me a message/text and I’ll let you know if I’m still available ASAP. I also have a flexible cancellation policy, so if you decide you no longer need my services, you can cancel up until the moment I arrive and press the start button and you should get a full refund.

Lily is amazing! She is very responsive and provided detailed updates with tons of great photos while watching our cat. We completely trusted her while we were away and it gave us such peace of mind. I would have Lily watch my cat anytime!

Lily did a great job dropping in and feeding our cat Iris. She showed up when she said she would, stayed the full 30 minutes, provided thorough notes and plentiful pictures, and ultimately did everything we asked of her. I can tell from the pictures she took that Iris enjoyed her company as well. We will definitely be booking Lily again in the future, and I recommend others do the same!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow any instructions you’ll give to a t. I’ll give them as much play time that they desire. If they’re a bit on the shy side, I won’t try to push any affections. When a cat says no, they mean it!

Information Lily S. would like to know about your pet

I’m not accepting clients with dogs at this time. My specialty is cats, and that’s what I’d like to stick to. Let me know if you have any questions otherwise!

A typical day

I typically like to get all of the “chores” out of the way first thing when I walk in. I’ll feed them, scoop the litter, refresh water, and give any meds. Then it’s play time (if they want it). My favorite part of Rover is taking pictures, so if your cat is especially outgoing, you can expect about 15-25 pictures per visit (also just upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro so the quality is going up, too!)

Due to the nature of my full time job, I’m only accepting weekend bookings for the foreseeable future. Otherwise I’m pretty open anytime Friday through Sunday.
