Highlights
Pet care experience
Neighborhood cat auntie
I have taken care of dogs and cats on and off since I was 10 years old. These days I only accept catsitting bookings because I LOVE cats. They are such fun, weird little critters. I have experience caring for cats of all kinds, including: -Elder cats -Cats with medical conditions like hypothyroidism, diabetes, heart failure, and kidney failure -Newly rehomed cats that struggle to trust people -Cats on diets (boy do cats hate diets) -Blind and deaf cats -Cats with separation anxiety -Cats that hate their furry siblings I understand that every pet has different needs and it's my job to get to know that pet and meet those needs. I don't hesitate to ask questions and update you with any behavior that concerns me. As a graduate student taking classes from home, I also have a very flexible schedule. I can visit your fur baby whenever is most beneficial for them.

Safety, trust & environment
I know what it's like to love a furry companion so I will care for your cat like it's my own. I'm all about reading body language and interacting with cats in a way that makes them feel comfortable and loved. I always start slow and try not to violate a cat's boundaries. I understand that some cats take a long time to get used to a new human and require a gentle, patient caregiver. I'm also good at recognizing and meeting a cat's needs, whether that's the need to play, to snuggle, or to simply have a person near them. I like to learn about the personality, peculiarities, and regular patterns of behavior for an animal before I take care of them whenever possible.
Ratings and reviews
Maleah was an excellent sitter for our cat. She came over our house for a meet and greet, and we immediately knew our cat was in great hands by how she approached our cat and the questions she asked. She was responsive and reliable throughout the time we were away traveling. She provided thorough updates about cute and creative ways she was engaging our cat in play, and took adorable videos and photos. She went above and beyond and we definitely hope to be able to hire Maleah in the future when we are away. Thank you Maleah!
Maleah has done a fantastic job taking care of our kitties time and time again. Anytime we go away I know exactly who my first call will be to watch the kitties. Maleah always takes great care of the cats, stays extra time when she can, and sends us ALL the pictures. You can’t go wrong with Maleah- she’s the best.
Maleah takes such an amazing time of our single cat every time we’re out of town! She’s very intuitive with cats and her love for them shows. Our house is always in great shape when we return.
Maleah is my all-time favorite petsitter! She’s got my sweet shy girl immediately running towards her and she truly loves doting on both my fur angels. Such a great sitter!
Maleah is the best catsitter you could ever ask for. I used to have pretty intense anxiety about leaving my cat, as she's super emotionally needy and I would feel so guilty, especially as she got older and started having health complications & needing medication. Now, with Maleah's visits, both myself and my cat are totally 10000% at ease. Dottie is so calm and happy in the photos that Maleah sends me, in a way that she's never been before with any other catsitter. Maleah catches every little detail about Dottie's behavior, and is quick to message if there's any changes or potential concerns. I trust her wholeheartedly, and I know Dottie trusts her just as much! THANK YOU for everything, Maleah!
Maleah is very kind and sweet with my cat Khaleesi. I knew she was well taken care of when I was gone. Communication was easy and I loved the updates she sent me. I would highly recommend Maleah!

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule so I can frequently take last-minute bookings. I make a great "on-call" pet sitter and dog walker. I travel regularly for work so I'm not the best choice for regular, long-term sitting needs. Do you have a pet that simply needs some human interaction and attention while you're away? Ask me about the "study at your house" special! I'm a graduate student who always has homework and I'm happy to spend extra time studying at your house to give you more bang for your buck :)
- CatsMaleah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. When we have a first call or meet-up, I'll ask questions about what I can normally expect from your fur baby and what your goals are for the drop-in.
- These prices are for 1 dog.
