Information Malina M. would like to know about your pet

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 .

A typical day

After I feed your babe and clean the litter box , it's important to me that the remaining time is spent interacting and playing with your kitty. Cat's really do need interaction and mental stimulation, playtime is essential!

Pet care experience

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!
