About: I’ve helped friends watch their pets during their travel for the past few years, giving special love to pets that struggled with separation anxiety after Covid and return to office. I love giving them quality time, chances to play, consistency with routine, and lots of love. Tell me more about what makes your pet special! I’m excited to spend lots of time with them and send you daily photos! I am currently freelancing with writing and creative work so my schedule is extremely flexible and I’m happy to come to any borough. I have a couple classes once a week that don’t keep me away for more than a couple hours, and am happy to be flexible especially with pets who are attached to their routines. I am generally available for weekends and holidays at this time. I strive to make pets feel as safe as possible in their own homes. Please let me know their favorite spots, their most loved toys, and everything that makes time with them special - I do my best to keep pets engaged until it’s time to rest so they don’t get anxious or depressed in your absence. If your cat has specific medical needs, I add their schedule to my calendar so I can be sure to give them continuity of care.

“Tosha was great. She came and met Ellie before her stay. And was communicative while I was away sharing videos, pictures, and written updates. Tosha was also great navigating the fact that Ellie is in heat and also had a front paw issue. I returned after my time away to a happy pup.”

“Sevita is an incredibly thoughtful and caring pet caretaker. Whenever I have had to travel and leave my cat Pepe behind, without a second thought I always reach out to Sevita to entrust care. Not only does she dedicate so much attention and love to the animal she cares for, but also takes such good care of the spaces she resides in during her pet sitting time. She has also cared for dogs of different sizes and needs with such grace; I would recommend her for any pet owner needing her services.”
