Sakinah is the absolute best! She’s the only one I trust when I’m out of town and need to leave my baby at home. I’ll always book with her! 🥰

Martina had a great time with Sakinah! She came back happy and healthy. I appreciate Sakinah's patience with Martina's nerves and constant pics and communication.

Sakinah was a wonderful host to our senior cat, Simon. She provided a safe space for him to get comfortable, and introduced him to her cats who were very friendly. She provided daily check-ins (with photos) while we were away, she made herself available to answer questions, and was very easy to communicate with. Overall, this was the best situation for our cat and we are grateful to Sakinah and her family for welcoming him into their home!

Sakinah was a fantastic find! She spoiled our cats rotten, which were are in full support of. I knew she was truly someone special when she sent me pictures of our super shy cat, Zuki, laying on his back, presenting his full belly to her. (Even though he's met plenty of people, this is something he's only done for a total of seven humans over the course of six years on this planet.)

Sakinah was amazing with our boy Ripley! It was his first sitting, away from home and she eased him into it. In the beginning he was timid but by the end Sakinah and her cat made a new cat friend. Thanks for the updates and pics!

Safety, trust & environment

I create a calm, secure environment where cats feel safe. With years of experience, I earn trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and attentive care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes morning feedings, fresh water, cleaning litter, interactive play with toys or lasers, brushing, cozy nap spots, window watching, treats, and evening cuddles. I follow each cat’s routine and preferences to keep them comfortable, entertained, and stress-free while you’re away.

Cats
Sakinah can host up to 5 pets per night
It’s important to know your cat’s routine, medical needs, allergies, temperament, favorite toys, hiding spots, fears, and how they react to strangers or other pets. This helps ensure personalized, stress-free care tailored to their comfort and safety.
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.
