Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their usual routines, especially for cats who thrive on familiarity. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and any medications are handled with consistency. I respect each pet’s personality, whether they want engagement and play or quiet companionship, and I never force interaction. I keep spaces clean, monitor behavior and appetite, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your cat.

Information Selena S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, personality, and any medical needs or medications. It’s also helpful to know what they enjoy (or dislike), how they handle new people, and any quirks or stress triggers so I can care for them in the most comfortable, low-stress way possible.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality. For cats, that might include playing with toys, petting/brushing, bird watching out the window, or simply quiet companionship on the couch while we watch a show together or read a book. I focus on low-stress enrichment that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and relaxed.

Pet care experience

Lifelong cat person with a deep love for all things feline. I specialize in cat care and understand that every cat has their own routine, quirks, and boundaries. From shy kitties to bold bosses, I’m happiest earning their trust and keeping their days calm, clean, and stress-free. I currently own one cat who’s as clingy & loving as me, so if you have a needy, cuddly baby, we’d for sure be a perfect match! Though I am a huge cat girl, I have my entire life’s worth of experience with dogs too. I’ve owned yorkies, poodles, german shepherds, labs, and boxers. I also have experience with exotic animals as I’ve owned leopard geckos, a slide-botched lizard, and an argentinian black & white tegu!

Selena S is amazing ! I needed help after I injured my ankle and couldn’t walk my dog Vito! Selena was so great in helping me feel comfortable about her walking my dog Vito. Selena is reliable, studious in the way she made contact for the times that was scheduled and great with Vito! Vito took to Selena immediately, he has great instincts! When she was schedule to come, I would tell him a few minutes before and he would stare out the window for her arrival! I would highly recommend her and be grateful to have her back again when we needed!

Selena took our puppy for his first Rover walk and made it so easy! She was punctual and communicative.

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.
