Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize the safety of pets by diligently following instructions. Prior to departing, I ensure all doors are securely locked and conduct a final check for added peace of mind.

Information Merve S. would like to know about your pet

I would greatly appreciate getting to know the cat's feeding schedule, litter box habits, favorite toys, and any other pertinent details. The more information you can provide, the better! :)

A typical day

During a typical visit, I start by checking food and water, refreshing everything as needed. Then I scoop and clean the litter box. If your cat is social, I’ll spend time playing with their favorite toys, giving head scratches or just hanging out with them. If they prefer space, I’ll quietly check in and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

Loving pet sitter - Fairmount area

Pet care experience

I’ve been cat sitting through Rover for 5+ years and have my own cat, Zeytin, since 2020. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy and cared for while you are away. I also have experience giving oral medications and following special care routines. I’m a grad student who works from home, so I have flexible time before and after work. I’m available in the Fairmount area for drop-in cat visits only. Availability: • Weekdays: Before 8 AM & after 6 PM • Weekends: 8 AM – 8 PM I’d love to know your cat’s feeding schedule, favorite toys, and routines so I can keep them as comfortable as possible. :)

Merve has watched my two kitties several times now in the last couple of years and she is always an amazing help, very reliable and communicative, and clearly very trustworthy and caring. My cats love her!

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.
