Information Meraal C. would like to know about your pet

I would love for me to continue their regular routine - whether it’s their feeding schedule, a regular route they like to walk, any issues with other dogs on walks, or medications Id love to know it all so I can take the best care of your pet!

A typical day

I recently lost my cat and miss the energy of having an animal around me so often. When I’m with a pet, I pour my heart into making sure they are loved and cared for. That includes playing with them and making sure they’re able to get their energy out, giving treats as recommended by owners, and making sure I spend extra time playing and cuddling them.

Loving cat owner, works from home!

Pet care experience

My family and I adopted my orange tabby cat back home at the age of 7 and have loved and cared for him for the past 16 years now! Scooter is an indoor outdoor cat with a very active lifestyle and social personality - my family and I have learned how to manage his outdoor time and feed him per his high activity lifestyle. I’ve also learned to administer medication to Scooter and handle his vet visits whether for teeth cleaning, routine checkup, or emergency visit. I’ve also pet sat for friends’ cats who are more shy and have quieter ways of showing love. I have done routine visits for multiple feeds and some play time! Otherwise, I’ve done Rover before in my new home in Chicago and have had cats stay with my two roommates and I for long-term stays!

Metal was wonderful! My cat Chester looked so happy and relaxed in the pictures she sent and when I picked him up. She was super easy to communicate with and even offered to pick him up when I had my travel date wrong. Definitely will use her again!

I was so nervous to leave my new kitten Nori for a trip, but Meraal and her roommates took great care of him while I was away. They sent photos & updates daily and handled my helicopter mom tendencies with grace lol. Will definitely book again as needed!

Meraal and her roomates were wonderful. I felt so relieved to have my kitty in good hands. They were also very flexible when there were some issues in our travel plans. Would highly recommend!

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.
