Pet care experience

kitty lover <3

Hi! I'm a cat lover with over four years of pet sitting experience and two years of experience volunteering in cat enrichment at a local animal shelter. I've had my own cat for a year and a half, so I know firsthand the ins and outs of feline care. With my love for cats and attention to detail, I make sure each kitty gets the personalized care they need to feel right at home! I hope to create a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for your kitties :)

Safety, trust & environment

In both my own home and my clients' homes, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each kitty’s needs. This includes regular feeding, grooming, and exercise routines, as well as administering any necessary medications. I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment, ensuring plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, I'm vigilant about maintaining cleanliness, including regular litter box cleaning and tidying up pet areas. Overall, I strive to create a loving and nurturing environment where pets feel happy and healthy.

House Sitting • Jul 14, 2026

Shalu took care of our 2 cats as an in-home, overnight sitter while we were away for a very long trip. We have a cat that requires daily medication, and then a week prior to our trip, one cat developed an additional medical issue that complicated their care. All of this made me anxious about leaving, but Shalu was very understanding and reassuring. I seriously could not recommend Shalu more - she was communicative, courteous, flexible, experienced with complicated cat care, and took excellent care of our babies and our home despite all of the additional, last minute changes to care plan. We would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Shalu!!

Shailja took really good care of our 3 cats, cuddled them and played with them during our week away from home. Highly recommended!

Shailja was a great catsitter! She was communicative and gave detailed updates and lots of pictures. She took great care of my cat while I was gone.

Schedule

Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or playtime, I prioritize your pet’s needs every day. I ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve, making time for walks, cuddles, and any necessary medical treatments. It’s a joy to care for them!

Cats
Shailja can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’d love to know about your cat’s personality, favorite toys, treats, and routine. Knowing any health needs, diets, or medications is important to keep them happy and safe. Whether your cat loves cuddles or enjoys their space, I’ll tailor my care to make them feel comfortable and loved.
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.
