A typical day

Since each cat is so different in how they prefer to spend their time and their level of comfort with strangers, it highly depends on each cat. Typically, I will brush the cats, play with them, and generally give them love if they want any of those things from me. I’m always happy to spend extra time sitting and waiting quietly for the cats to feel comfortable and know that they’re safe with me.

Patient and Calm, Cats Exclusively!

Cat care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover and dedicated cat sitter with years of hands-on experience. Please see list of expertise/experience down below. I grew up in a household with four wonderful cats and now share my home with two of my own—Yami, a sweet black cat, and Maple, a playful tabby. I specialize exclusively in cats and truly understand how unique and particular they can be. Whether your kitty is a super friendly gentle soul or a spicy/shy cat that needs a little extra time and attention, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. Your cat will be in safe, loving hands while you're away! Expertise/Experience -Taking time to throroughly clean the litter box, looking for any irregular signs of health like blood or soft/hard stool -Being quiet and patient as I understand cats are extremely weary around strangers. My own cat Maple hides whenever she hears any suspicious sound :) -Detailed and specific feeding/care requests. My two cats will only eat their wet food if I mix it in a certain way for a very specific consistency. They may be spoiled. -Anything you can think of! I love talking to other cat-lovers so please feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have or just send me pictures of your kitties :)

Michiru did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away for the week! My cat is super shy and tends to stay away from new people but she quickly warmed up to Michiru. Ill definitely be rebooking in the future and highly recommend her to anyone!

Michiru was great and made going away for the weekend much better as I knew Ms. Ma’am was being taken care of well. Will definitely work with her again in the future. (:

Michiru did a wonderful job taking care of my boys!! Very responsive to questions, punctual with meeting times and pet care. My cats LOVED her, when she came by to drop off my key, they were all over her. 100% will try to rebook when I need pet care next!

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.
