Safety, trust & environment

You can expect prompt and clear communication from me as well as a plethora of pictures — either snuggling with your furry friend or respecting their space if that is what they are communicating they need from me! I am acutely attuned to a cat's body language and follow their lead on their level of desired interaction. I am respectful of your home and will follow all instructions closely during each visit. I have experience administering oral liquid medication via syringe as well as topical ointment in the pinna of the ear.

Information Tali E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any areas your cat does not like to be pet, if they tend to try to escape, or anything I should know about your furbaby in general!

A typical day

I love to try to play with the cats I am visiting but won't push them too far if they aren't in the mood! I will follow their lead and provide as much interaction as they show they want!

Dependable and Caring Cat Fanatic!

Cat care experience

Hey there, I'm Tali! Due to my work schedule, I am available for ONE visit a day Sunday-Thursday between 10:30am and 1:30pm. Fridays and Saturdays I have more flexibility! Please ensure my availability aligns with your needs 😸 I am quite literally *obsessed* with cats. I grew up with them, volunteered at cat shelters, fostered cats in college, and spent 12 amazing years with my bestest girl, Gilly, who passed in December 2024. Since then, I've fostered cats from various shelters until recently foster-failing with my fluffy boy named Baby Bear! I love cat sitting because providing pet owners with relief that their babies are in loving hands is the best feeling in the world. I have had multiple experiences where a cat sitter fell short on their duties while watching my cat and it was incredibly stressful. I know how important it is to feel your baby is safe and I strive to go above and beyond to ensure they are being treated like the royalty they are! A complimentary meet and greet is preferred before the booking begins to meet your kitty and learn about their care needs. Please have keys ready at this time! Please also provide up-to-date written instructions in the "care info" section specifying where to find food/supplies and any important notes I should know. I want to make sure the essentials are taken care of promptly so I can spend maximum time showering your kitty with love! I am fully vaxxed and boosted, and I’m happy to wear a mask to our meet & greet. I will follow any additional precautions you would prefer me to take in your home. I look forward to caring for your feline companions while you're away! ❤️

Tali was lovely to have as a cat sitter! Very communicative, sent better pictures of my cats than I take on a regular basis, was very active with them and so loving! I will absolutely be making her my go-to sitter. Thank you so much Tali!!

My cat REALLY likes Tali, and I always feel reassured when she’s able to sit for him when I’m out of town. Tali is also really great at sharing details on how he’s doing and is super responsive to messages. Thank you Tali!!

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.
