I’m currently a student at ISU on Mondays and Wednesdays I have student teaching but other than that i’m out of class at 11 am.

About: I've been a cat mom for close to a decade, and I absolutely adore the quirks, curiosity and unique nature of every cat I see. I love on my mom's cat every chance I get. And if I see a cat while out and about, there is a 100% chance I'm stopping to meet it! I If I could take in every stray to love, I would. ♡ I like to travel, but my cats don't enjoy car rides, so boarding is anxiety-inducing for both of us. I always want my babes to be as comfortable as possible at home while we're gone. Meaning, I'm familiar with the stress that comes along with finding a trustworthy caregiver who will give my cats the care that I do. So, I'd like to offer that service and confidence to you. Let's connect and see how I can make your cats feel cared for during your next getaway. I work full-time, mostly from home, so I'm able to stop by your house to visit the cat(s) in the evening on weekdays (possibly the AM depending on how close we live to each other), and my schedule is often more flexible on weekends. Cats thrive on routine, so I'm happy to come feed, brush, play with, cuddle, refresh water, scoop litter - whatever yours are used to currently.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Normal
MacKenzie was perfect! She was very attentive to instructions and communicated with me during every visit. My cats are very shy to strangers but warmed up to her very quickly and I felt very comfortable with her drop in visits at my home. I would love to be able to rebook Mackenzie in the future!
She was absolutely wonderful! Very polite, punctual, and always friendly with a smile. I contacted her at the last minute, just one day before I needed her, and she was available and very accommodating. She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I’m very grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!
Leaving my three cats for two weeks while traveling internationally was a little nerve-wracking, but Calli made the whole experience so much easier. I always felt like my cats were being well cared for, and coming home to happy, healthy cats was the best feeling. Thank you for giving me such peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with Calli again!
My first time leaving my kitten with someone other than family had me really nervous but Katrina made it really easy, even with the last minute scheduling. She sent me lots of pictures and updated me on how much he ate. I would definitely come back to her in the future
Amanda was so kind and thorough with the meet and greet along with the actual care for my 2 cats. I am always looking for someone who not only feeds my cats, but plays with them and gives them love too. Everything was exactly the way I asked and she sent pictures when she stopped in which I appreciate very much.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
