Safety, trust & environment

Safety is a huge priority! I'm careful about entering or exiting homes. When entering I will stoop low and block the area they could slip past me and will discourage the cat from trying to get outdoors.

Shumyla has the best in mind for your pet. She did a great job of checking with me each step of the way and was wonderfully communicative. She also gave advice to me to keep me informed and help me feel at ease with Billie's conditions each day. Awesome, awesome sitter, I would absolutely book again.

Schedule

I work full-time but I can make some time in the mornings, at lunch or after 5:00 p.m. I really appreciate any flexibility as far as timing. Early evenings are great! Weekends are pretty open.

Cats
Shumyla can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I'm here specifically for cats! I have had cats since childhood (cat lover family) and am very adept at handling them. I can administer medications as well. One of my cats is diabetic and I inject insulin daily.
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.

These prices are for 1 cat, including a booking fee of 11%.
