Pet care experience

Cats only club ✌️ 😽

Hey there 👋 My name is Malina and cats are my specialty! 😻 I raised my cat Delilah from a kitten to 18 years ! She was the love of my life🥰 Currently my husband and I own two adorable cats named Chaucer and Seuss. We spoil them rotten and I will spoil your babes just the same. We also care for two feral cat's that have adopted us 😆 I have had the opportunity to care for dozens of amazing cat's here in Austin. I'm not just someone who will feed your cat ! I will really love on them and try to get to know their personality and their unique needs. Cat's are complex creatures and that's what makes them so special to me. I am available for a meet and greet on FaceTime/zoom, or just leave me detailed instructions.

Malina was amazing! So kind, gentle and understanding with our one cat that takes a little bit longer to warm up to people. Obsessed with the photos. Would definitely ask her to watch our boys again!

Malina was wonderful! My cats immediately loved her energy and were thoroughly looked after by her. Malina followed all instructions perfectly and took lots of videos and beautiful photos. Absolute peace of mind.

Thank you for always taking such good care of our fur baby! He always enjoys his time with you and we appreciate the extra attention to detail (keeping things clean, watering plants, etc). You’re the best!

Malina took great care of our babies as usual! We always can relax when we know she will be looking after our kitties while we are gone. She does a great job with sending pics and updates too— it’s the highlight of our day when we travel!

So amazing. I don’t know where I’d be without Malina watching over my fur babies.

Schedule

* I am available for ONCE a day drop in visits between the hours of 7-5:00. I can not designate an exact time that I will be there due to my current schedule. I am a licensed Physical therapist assistant and a Pilates teacher. So why do I cat sit? Because it makes me SO happy ! 😻 Visiting my cat clients is the highlight of my day 🫶🏼 I consider it a privilege when clients entrust me to care for their fur babes.

Cats
Malina can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
At our meet and greet tell me about your cats personality and any info you think is helpful in caring for them. For instance, do they ever bite or scratch strangers? Is there a spot they really don’t like to be petted? Do they throw up sometimes ? Are they door dashers? Any significant past health info , such as urinary tract issues , food allergies etc. **The meet and greet is when you as the client will provide me the key to your home or discuss entry to your home. * I do not accept bookings that entail letting cats outside DURING the booking . Your pets safety is my top priority while you are gone .
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.
