Loving little cat sanctuary

Hi! I’m Chaya 👋🏻 I live in Brooklyn in the Crown Heights area. I had dogs for many years, but recently-ish started fostering cats and am officially a cat person now too :) Last year, I fostered many cats through the Humane Society - from kittens who needed socialization to adult cats who needed medical recovery. Now, I have one with me that I rescued (he was too traumatized to get adopted at the time). I see all animals as individual souls, and i care about the wellbeing of them all. I instinctively always ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved (and have always gravitated to the ones that need a little extra of that!) The rescue cat I have with me is an absolute sweetheart and he’s been great with all other foster kitties I’ve had. I’d love to get to know your furry friend - and I know how important it is to know they are well cared for! Please feel free to ask any questions at all, and to chat about any specifications, concerns, etc. I currently offer: 🐱 Cat boarding 🐾 Dog walking 🏠 Drop-in visits I look forward to hearing from you. -Chaya

Dog Walking • Jul 16, 2026

Chaya is one of the best dog walkers we’ve ever had! Super communicative, sends great pictures and our pup (who doesn’t necessarily love everyone) loves her.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 09, 2026

Chaya was absolutely amazing. From day one she was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and caring with our two cats, Arla and Leo. She sent us regular updates and photos, asked questions whenever she wasn't 100% sure about something (from plants to treats), and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done exactly how we would have done it. It was so reassuring to see how quickly both of our cats warmed up to her—especially Leo, who is usually much more reserved. She spent time playing with them, gave them lots of attention, and kept us updated on their personalities and routines throughout our trip. She also went above and beyond by checking for packages, keeping an eye on the apartment, and making sure our plants were taken care of. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like they're her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We would recommend Chaya without hesitation and will absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Chaya! ❤️🐈

Chaya was a great host, picking up and dropping off Takkun as well as sending periodic updates made me feel very comfortable being away. I would 100% recommend her!

The absolute best with dogs! I’ve known chaya for years, she has watched my dogs often. And I can honestly say she has the biggest heart when it comes to animals. She’s amazing with dogs- so playful, loving, and patient. You can always count on her to be on time, super responsible, and to treat your pup like her own. Every dog instantly loves her! If you’re looking for someone who will give your furry friend all the love and care they deserve, chaya is truly the one to trust. 🐶💛

Pets

A typical day

It depends on the animal and their preferences! I like to meet them where they are whether they need calm company, play, exercise, cuddles, etc.

Cats
Chaya can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know if your animal has any specific sensitivities, behavior stuff, etc. I want to make sure they are comfortable. I tend to be good with shy/traumatized/scared animals, but just let me know if there’s anything important to be aware of.
