Cats

Availability

I work during the day with flexible hours, so I’m typically available for morning and evening drop-in visits. I’m punctual and reliable, and I provide a detailed Rover Card update with photos after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

Safety, trust & environment

Making sure your pet is safe, happy, and at ease is my number one priority. I follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your pet’s preferences and quirks, and make sure your home stays secure by double-checking locks, gates, and access points. I’m also happy to take care of small household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants so everything stays in order while you’re away.

Information Lydia C. would like to know about your pet

Before visits, it’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, medications, and any quirks or triggers. Please also let me know about reactivity concerns, favorite toys or activities, and any important details about home access, such as lock instructions or alarm systems. Having this information allows me to provide care that keeps your furry friend comfortable, happy, and safe while you’re away.

A typical day

Every drop-in visit is tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I handle the basics (feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning) but I also make sure they get the right kind of attention, whether that’s interactive play, gentle company, or quiet time if they’re shy or slow to warm up. I move at your pet’s pace, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they feel safe and cared for.

Detail-oriented drop in cat care

Cat care experience

I’ve cared for cats for over 10 years and feel comfortable with all personalities, from confident, social cats to shy hiders who need a calmer approach. I’m good at reading feline body language and adjust my care to match what each cat needs: playful engagement for outgoing kitties or quiet company and gentle interaction for more cautious ones. I specialize in drop-in visits and focus on providing reliable, consistent, and detail-oriented care, following your instructions to the letter. I also take home security seriously and double-check doors, gates, and locks during every visit. My goal is simple: peace of mind while you're away and a relaxed, well-cared-for pet when you come home!

Lydia paid careful attention to instructions, did everything just as we discussed, played with our kitties and granted us much-appreciated peace of mind. Thank you!

Lydia was very professional and instantly helped our cat get comfortable with her by being calm and patient with him. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Lydia is an excellent sitter. She was prompt and paid great attention to detail. The photos she shared of my cat brought a smile and peace of mind in the middle of my busy trip. My cat quickly bonded with her (which rarely happens with strangers). When I returned, everything was clean and in order! I would hire her again!

Lydia was very communicative throughout our trip. She followed directions and even played with our cat every time she visited! Great sitter and will be booking again in the future!

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.
