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.

Visit Update
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.
Pay your sitter securely on mraav. Powered by Stripe, no cash at the door.
Why we built mraav
“I started mraav because leaving my own cat with a stranger never felt right. Cats aren’t small dogs. They need someone who reads the flick of a tail and knows when to give them space. Every sitter here is someone I’d trust with my own.”

Founder, mraav

FAQ
Everything cat parents usually ask before their first booking.
Payments are handled securely on mraav, powered by Stripe. Your card is charged when you send the booking request, no cash exchange at pickup and nothing to handle in person.
Your card is charged through Stripe the moment you send the booking request, that secures your sitter’s calendar. If your sitter declines, we refund you automatically.
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.
Tips are always optional. After your reservation ends, you’ll get a chance to tip your sitter from My bookings. They receive 100% of it.
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. If you cancel within that policy’s refund window, mraav refunds you through Stripe, no back-and-forth with your sitter.
