Safety, trust & environment

Looking after them as per their own wants and needs. You'll guide me and I'll also get to know them as I have my own and adapt. Some are shy, some take time. Other cats are fuss seekers and straight there. Clean litter, fresh water, company, play. I'm fully insured and DBS Checked.

Information Philomena F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have any specifics or special requests and I'll be happy to accommodate whether I can. If they are shy it helps me to know before a pre visit so I can bring something scented of me for them.

A typical day

I usually spend 45mins to an hour a visit. I bring different toys with me and explore which they like and want to engage with. Lots of strokes and cuddles, treats (if they are allowed). I will constantly chatter away so even if they don't want play or fuss they have company. Happy to brush if they although it and you'll have plenty of photos of all we get up to.

Honestly the best decision I made. This was my first time having a cat sitter and Philomena was wonderful. As soon as she came to visit I knew she was just what we needed. The cats loved her visits and played happily with her. She always had something interesting for them to get excited about. She fed them, kept the water bowl topped up and cleaned the litter and food items each day. She even fixed a broken plinth in my kitchen! Her daily updates about the cats became a fun daily read for th family whilst we were away. What a wonderful lady.

Philomena was simply amazing from start to finish. She was incredibly professional and met with us before hand to discuss all the details. Our cat Midna is very weary of strangers when we're not at home but Philomena was very patient and spent a lot of time on each of her visits so that she could allow Midna to get acquainted with her new friend at her own pace. We received detailed updates and photos with each visit which put our minds at ease. I will most certainly be calling on Philomena again in the future and can't recommend her enough.

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.
