Cats

Availability

I'm an instructor with a flexible schedule. I'll be able to visit during the morning and/or evening. For each visit, I'll make sure to spend time playing with and entertaining your cat, as interaction is just as important as food for your cat when you're away!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm calm, patient, and responsible. I recognize each cat has their own needs, and I am here to meet them. My own cat had asthma, so I have experience with giving cats medication.

Information Mara G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your cat's temperament, routine, and feeding habits, as well as any medications that they're on. And also let me know their favorite toys, places to be petted (chin scratches? behind the ears? or even belly rubs?), and treats that they can have. I do not accept any bookings with dogs.

A typical day

After making sure there is food and water and cleaning the litter box, I'll make sure to spend some quality time with your cat, whether it's a playtime with the laser pointer or a nice peaceful brushing session.

Cat Person

Cat care experience

Hi, I'm Mara! I'm a cell biologist and also a huge cat lover. I recently moved back to the Twin Cities from Baltimore and am excited to meet the cats of Minnesota. It can be hard leaving your cat home alone when you're out of town. And though they may prefer not to admit it, cats definitely miss the attention and affection from their owners! I'm here to give you peace of mind when you're away. I'll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and treat your cat like they're my own.

Mara does such a great job checking on everything and gets our very shy cat to come out for some love. She is the best!

Mara took great care of our fur baby!! She was very communicative and sent great notes and pictures so we knew everything was going well while we were away. Our cat loved her and so did we!

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.
