Attentive and kind cat lover
Pet care experience
In 2022, I fostered 5 cats over the span of 3 months and found it to be such an enjoyable experience that I adopted a kitten myself. My cat is very shy and fearful, so I’ve naturally developed a slow and gentle approach that has helped other shy cats be more curious and open to interacting with me, even upon first meeting! I've worked with cats of all ages and temperaments. I am adept at administering liquid/solid medication/eyedrops, and I have experience providing post-op care after both spaying and neutering. I am very detail oriented and will follow all care instructions with precision. Each visit includes a full 30 minutes of active quality time tailored specifically to your pet’s preferences, whether it’s playing, brushing, cuddling, or speaking gently to them while they’re warming up to me. Rover cards will include as many flattering (or silly) photos of them as I can take, depending on how wriggly they are!
Reviews
I almost think my cat likes me to travel so he can have a fun time with Talia! I've had her cat sit for me many times and she does a wonderful job - reliable, responsible, active player with my cat, and excellent care giver.
Talia is reliable and communicative! She goes above and beyond to give our cats love and attention while we are out of town.
Talia has cared for our cat in the past and continues to do an excellent job when it comes to communicating and understanding what is needed. She is very quick to respond and does an excellent job every time,and we look forward to booking her in the future!
Talia was a fantastic cat-sitter! She was incredibly kind and accommodating with our schedule and needs. We have a newly adopted cat who our first cat isn’t used to yet, but we had to leave town. Based on her reviews, I figured Talia would be a pro at dealing with our two cats who can’t be alone together unsupervised - and she was! She sent amazing photos each day with an informative update, and it was so nice to know that my girls were well looked after *and* safe while we had to be away. She facilitated their daily introduction time together, played with each of them, and took great care of them! She also responded quickly to my messages. My usual sitters were all unavailable, but a neighbor recommended Rover and Talia is a such credit to the service. I’ll definitely check her availability when I travel again - I’m so thrilled to have worked with her!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am attentive to detail and will follow any precautions to keep your pet safe in your own home, as well as making sure to lock up behind me. I enjoy cleaning and am happy to sweep up any stray litter, wash food/water bowls during each visit, or clean up any accidents your pet leaves behind.
Information Talia L. would like to know about your pet
I would want to know your cat’s temperament, if they are prone to exhibit aggressive behaviors, anything that makes them uncomfortable, where they like/don’t like to be pet, as well as any special needs they may have so I can accommodate.
A typical day
I love spending quality time grooming and playing with cats and I have a lot of patience and energy to do so! I’m happy to play with your cat with their favorite toys, and I carry a laser pointer with me at all times!
