Safety, trust & environment

My approach to spending quality time with your cat(s) is to let them come to me. So I will enter your (their) space ;), and immediately feed them and clean their catbox, all the while not trying too hard to win their affection. And then once I’ve taken care of business I will sit down, maybe on the floor, and see if they are ready to come sniff me/see what I’m all about/let me pet them/play with them. I will respect their boundaries and I will spend time with them for as long as they are interested in me. And I’ll talk to them, of course. :)

Information Rachel Aston W. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know if your cat needs any medication administered, how to give them the best pets in their favorite places, and what their favorite toy is. Also if they try to escape or not!

A typical day

I am mostly a cat sitter, so I will certainly play with them with their toy of choice. I have found that even the ones that don’t like traditional store-bought toys like a good hair tie, or to play with the sunlight that reflects off my phone screen!

CatWhisperer to Kitties of All Ages

Cat care experience

I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old, and even though I am a *self-described* cat whisperer, many cat people have agreed with that honorary title after seeing me interact with their cats. I currently live with a 15 year old tortie who I adopted when she was 6, and caring for her as she ages has taught me so much about patience, boundaries, and routine.

Rachel did such a great job watching my cat while I was away. She sent great updates, was super responsive, and everything went really smoothly. My cat clearly loved her and I would definitely book with her again.

We really appreciate Rachel's service and would not hesitate to use her again! Kitty was in good spirits when we returned, and we were kept well informed about her experience. Rachel goes above and beyond in the care of cats, a true cat lady!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
