Pet care experience

Dedicated Cat Sitter: Expert Care

What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering passion for cats and attention to detail. I take pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for cats, which includes my commitment to deep-cleaning litter boxes regularly. My personalized approach to cat care means that I tailor my services to meet the individual needs of each cat, from playtime and exercise to grooming and cuddles. Additionally, I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured.

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure a safe and comfortable environment by pet-proofing spaces, providing cozy resting areas, and maintaining a clean, litter-free home. In clients' homes, I follow their specific guidelines and routines to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. I am vigilant about security, ensuring doors and windows are properly secured to prevent any escapes. I provide regular updates and photos to build trust and keep owners informed about their pet's well-being.

Vanessa took great care of our 3 cats while we were away! She's very thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly cares about animals. Our cats are normally skittish around new people, but she took the time to befriend them with treats and they really warmed up to her! Will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I specifically offer weekend availability to accommodate my clients' needs. During weekends, I dedicate my time to providing attentive and personalized care for pets, ensuring they receive the exercise, feeding, and attention they require.

Cats
Xiaozi "Vanessa" can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
To provide the best possible care, it’s important for me to know specific details about each pet ahead of time. This includes their medical history, dietary restrictions, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks. Understanding their routine, such as feeding times and preferred sleeping spots, helps me maintain consistency and comfort. If they have any fears or anxieties, especially around certain sounds or environments, knowing this in advance allows me to create a calm and secure setting.
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.
