Caring cat companion in South Slope

I've been a full time pet sitter in the Park Slope area for over two years and a cat person my entire life. I'm experienced in providing in daily care, medical needs (let's discuss it first), and of course giving lots of love. I've lived with and looked after all feline personalities - from the sweetest cuddle bugs to the spicy and sassy.

Emily has a gift! We feel so at ease leaving our sweet but shy cat in Emily’s care. We received many pictures, videos, and messages at every visit, which we always looked forward to, and they continued to reinforce the amazing connection she’s made with our cat. Thank you, Emily!!

Emily always does an amazing job watching my cat Tosca! I never have to worry about how Tosca's doing when I'm out of town.

Another great drop in from Emily! She really goes the extra mile to play with the cats and even got our shy kitty to come out of her shell. We’re so grateful to have her as a sitter!

Each and every time I come home from a trip, my cat Milano is purring and chilled out to the max. Emily takes the best care of my lil guy and is so attentive to him. In this house, we are Emily stans!

If I could give 5/6 stars to Emily I would! Our cats loved her, she was great at communicating, and took our crazy cat-mom energy in stride. She definitely became our new go-to catsitter!

Here’s a draft: Emily was wonderful! She took great care of our two cats, Georgie and Carmen, and even went above and beyond by bringing in and unboxing a food delivery for us while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-fed cats and a freezer stocked with their food. We’d book Emily again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

Please note: Boarding is always limited to one cat at a time (or multiple from a single household). Your cat will only make new human friends - no other animals will be coming into the space while they are staying with us. Our home has beautiful screened windowsill for your cat to overlook green space, enjoy the breeze, and listen to the birds. My home also has cat shelves for adventurous pets to climb on and keep me company while I work in the office and a doorframe is equipped with a five foot tall scratcher to climb up. Our apartment is two floors and spacious so there is plenty of room to run around and get some exercise running up and down the stairs. Home is clean and cared for. We have no cats, dogs, or children of our own so the apartment is quiet and calm for skittish or solitary pets (although there may be an occasional visitor). My partner Boris is an additional verified sitter on my Rover account to assist with boarding, giving you two sets of hands to pet and feed your furry friend.

A typical day

A typical day with a boarding client includes playtime, brushing, and as many snuggles as they want to give. I believe in giving cats space when they first arrive and letting them move at their own pace then showering them with love and attention once they are comfortable and looking for it. For drop-in visits I am here to assist with feeding, freshening water, cleaning litter, as well as socializing and playtime. I am also always happy to help with minor house-care tasks while you're away like grabbing small packages or watering plants.

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Emily & Boris can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know if your cat has any special care needs including medicines or diet restrictions (I have a stash of Churu paste that I love to give). I'd also love to hear about their loves, hates, and anything they are afraid of to make the best environment possible. For boarding: I expect you to bring - your cat's food, litter, and carrier I recommend that you bring - toys, their favorite treats, a soft comfort items like a cat bed or t-shirt that will smell like you and your home, and their litter box I provide (but you're welcome to bring your own) - food and water bowls, a cat bed, toys of all kinds, treats, catnip, and a litter box. Please note that all of these items will have other cat smells on them. Note: Rover is very dog focused but any questions I've answered just replace dog with cat! I only board and do drop in visits for cats.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
