About Emma A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a lifetime of experience loving cats, as well as over 2 years of experience relating to cat healthcare and medication. I am able to get to know cats quickly and can read their signals quite well. Given that I was in charge of medication and conducting daily health checks on rescue cats for the past 2 years (some of which were feral at first), I feel more than prepared to handle any health concerns that may occur quickly and knowledgeably.
Information Emma A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your cat has any special medication needs, places they do not like to be touched, or any other boundaries. Cats love routine, so I want to ensure I am cultivating a safe and familiar environment while you are away!
A typical day
Despite being viewed as “lower maintenance” pets compared to dogs, cats (particularly indoor cats) need lots of one-on-one affection and play time! As a catsitter, I love to strike a balance between playing with toys, cuddles (if allowed), and some quiet time spent coexisting in the same room together, as that is a love language many cats share! :)

Cat cafe worker & grad student🐈⬛
Pet care experience
I have recently “retired” as a cat cafe worker after over 2 years working at a DC-based cat cafe and rescue agency, where cats rescued from euthanasia from all around the DMV come to find their forever homes! I have personally cared for, medicated, and loved up to 30 cats at one time, in addition to telling their stories and learning their personalities in order to help get them adopted. I am also a lifelong cat owner and have been a catsitter since the age of 13. I am currently a graduate student working towards my masters of social work, but deeply miss being surrounded by cats every day (my roommate has a sweet young pitbull named Willa, which doesn’t leave much room for other animals in the home). I can’t wait to meet some new furry friends! :)🐈⬛🦮
