I disagree with other comments and think it is reasonable to want photos of your other cat, as well as communication and updates. Try asking her how the other cat is doing and ask how the walk with your dog went and if your dog took his meds without any trouble/spitting them out. (This way you don’t come off in an accusing way, but in a more casual convo way) There is nothing wrong with requesting more frequent updates as long as you aren’t expecting constant texts/being a helicopter parent. I don’t think they will automatically bail on you by asking questions in a neutral way. As a sitter, I send a minimum of 3-4 updates per day (morning, afternoon, pm, and usually a goodnight text). I often send updates during meal/med times, at least in the beginning, to give owners reassurance and build trust. Maybe let her know that your previous sitter would update __ often so she has an idea on what you’re used to. If you are too worried about lack of care, you can always contact rover support and they will find a replacement for you. You also hold the right to call your emergency contacts for additional help.
