Pet care experience

no stress vacays? purr 😻🥂

**Cats-only boarding + Dog walking + Drop-ins** Adopted my fur baby over 2 years ago and have been in charge of pet sitting for my friends, since! I know the stress of leaving my pet in others’ care too well, so be prepared for daily proof-of-life pics from me 🤗 I’m also a type a med student, so you best bet my place is cat-proofed and i quadruple check anything that will come in contact with the pets ‼️ Pets will receive personalized attention based on need, but I will have my own cat here as well!! She’s very social and sweet, so she enjoys company. I have a room for your baby to acclimate slowly if need be :) My apartment has a pet elevator and areas to walk dogs, as well.

Dog Walking • Feb 28, 2026

I’m so grateful Malavika was able to accommodate me last minute due to a medical procedure, it trul meant so much. She arrived right on time, was incredibly attentive to every detail, and you could tell she was genuinely excited to be there. That gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you ever need someone reliable on short notice.

Malavika is top notch! She is kind, accommodating, and cares about her clients - both human and feline! She went out of her way, at the last minute, to house our 2 kitties while we were traveling cross country and we appreciate her so much. I recommend her to anyone and give her an A+ rating! Thank you Malavika!

Schedule

I have a pretty flexible schedule this year, so I will be available at home for most of the weekend and weekday afternoons-evenings. I might skip breakfast if I wake up late, but keeping pet food out is non-negotiable ‼️

Where your pet will stay

Lives in an apartment

Non-smoking household
Has 1 cat
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed

Safety, trust & environment

I clean litter boxes, groom, brush teeth daily. No cat-toxic plants in environment and all cabinets with household supplies are pet-proofed. Have a cat tree, cat tunnels, and plenty of places for cats to perch and scratch. I use Feliway Multicat calming diffusers to ease introduction between cats. I have experience giving my cat oral medications, training her to use an inhaler as well. My place is kept clean with a cleaning robot and weekly deep cleans.

Pets

A typical day

I make time to play with pets and feed them every morning and evening + as needed. This can be tailored to your pet’s preference!

Cats
Malavika can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know meal schedule and quantity, treat schedule, favorite ways to play, medical needs. Anything I should know that impacts their interaction with my cat (any communicable diseases, agitation in particular!).
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.
