Safety, trust & environment

I make sure pets are getting enough love and attention and the home is well taken care of. If needed, I am able to water plants, pick up mail, or do some extra cleaning up after pets. Additionally, I am always extra careful to follow client's instructions about entry, exit, and locking up.

Information Nautica F. would like to know about your pet

For cats, I would like to know how they react to strangers, if they like attention or prefer distance, detailed information of on food and medicine, hiding spots, and any other information that you think is relevant! For dogs, I would like to know how the dog typically behaves on walks and what you prioritize in walk (ex. potty/sniffing/distance). I would like to know how the dog is with other pets and people.

A typical day

For cats, I make sure to know their favorite things to do — whether it is play with the random string or cuddle. When doing walks, I love to give dogs time to sniff around and stimulate their mind naturally as well as get some good exercise in. I make sure to give my pet clients a bunch of love and attention while their owners are away!

Extra caring pet lover!

Pet care experience

Use code NAUTIF18367 for $20 off your first Rover booking! I’ve always loved animals and would be so excited to meet and care for your pet! I have taken care of over 300 pets through pet service apps, and you can rely on me to provide the best care and the most love possible. Currently, I am mainly doing cat sitting drop-ins, however, I am also available for dog walking. I take special care during my drop-ins to make sure pets are getting enough love and attention and the home is well taken care of. Additionally, I am experienced in providing care to pets with medication and elderly pets. If needed, I am able to water plants, pick up mail, or do some extra cleaning up after pets. I’ve been called a “cat whisperer” by my clients! I always make sure to read the nonverbal cues and respect cats’ space, and through the years, I’ve been able to befriend even the most shy and sassy cats! I have experience with all types of dogs and behaviors including leash aggression, pulling, and separation anxiety. I am also familiar with various harnesses and collars including but not limited to the easy-walk harness, chain, and pinch collars. I would love to care for your pet and am looking forward to giving them tons of love and special care!

Nautica took excellent care of my two cats, even figuring out to give meds to my troublesome little kitty. I felt very confident leaving them knowing she would check in with them. I appreciated how she asked questions to make sure they were getting the care they needed!

As always nautica comes through and takes good care of my girls. As long as she’s around, I will continue to book with her :). My cats seem to really adore her

Nautica has been our go-to cat sitter, and for good reason! She provides thorough updates and photos and we feel very comfortable leaving our cats in her care while we’re away. I highly recommend Nautica if you’re looking for a cat sitter!
