We treat them like our own.
In-home cat sitting by verified specialists who actually get it. Your cat stays home, keeps their routine, and gets one-on-one attention — no strangers, no stress.
The mraav difference
Your sitter logs a few quick observations from each visit. We turn them into a warm, honest update that reads like a text from a friend — not a form response.

From your cat sitter
Cherry was an absolute sweetheart today! 🐾 She polished her whole bowl, was super playful with the feather wand, and even got a nice window-watching session in. Came right over for cuddles — not shy at all.
Why mraav
Because average care is not an option. Your cat’s standards? We exceed them.
Every sitter clears ID, background, and reference checks before they ever meet your cat.
No boarding, no stress. Your cat keeps their routines, their smells, their couch.
Shy cats, senior cats, picky eaters — our sitters have seen it all.
Book same-day, overnight, or recurring visits. Whatever works for you and your cat.
Send payment directly to your sitter through PayPal or Venmo. No cash at the door.

FAQ
Everything cat parents usually ask before their first booking.
After a sitter confirms your booking, you’ll see their PayPal or Venmo handle in My bookings. Send payment directly to the sitter, there’s no cash exchange at pickup and nothing to handle in person. We’re rolling out payments on mraav soon (powered by Stripe), so you’ll be able to pay through the platform itself.
Most sitters ask for payment right after the booking is confirmed, or on the day of the first visit. Your sitter will let you know what they prefer, it’s their call, not ours.
Each sitter sets their own prices for drop-in visits and overnights. You’ll see the exact rates on the sitter’s profile before you book.
Yes. Every sitter on mraav goes through an identity and background check before their profile goes live. We also read their references and review their answers to our cat-specific screening questions.
Each sitter sets their own cancellation policy (flexible, moderate, or strict) and it’s shown on their profile before you book. Any refund is arranged between you and your sitter per that policy.
