Cat lover caring for feline friends

Pet care experience

I grew up with a cat and have enjoyed caring for friends’ pets. I did less of that in the last decade since I had a cat of my own, but she passed away recently so I’m looking to care for others. I have lots of experience administering medicine orally and by injection, and establish rapport easily with most cats!

Brian was wonderful. He watched my cat for a week while gone for work and she seemed so comfortable and loved while she was there. He was very helpful and I felt that my cat was in good hands. She also was finishing a round of medicine and he made sure to give her the doses when required, and updated me on her status every day. Thanks Brian!

Amazing care as always - thank you so much for the book! Hopefully Billie will be nicer to The Detective next time 😎

This was my first sitting experience with Brian and my first with Rover. Everything went really smoothly and Brian did a great job especially having to hunt for the cat each visit - she is incredibly shy and does everything she can to avoid being seen. I appreciated that Brian kept his distance and visited her at the same time each day. As well as little extras like growing pet grass for her and straightening her bed. Would recommend and will be booking again!

Every cat has their own habits so I can adapt, whether the cat wants to play, cuddle, or just get fed and observe me from a hiding place!

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, especially at the beginning and end of the day. I live in midtown and have an office space in Bushwick that I use some days, so can do visits around Manhattan and north Brooklyn.
