Information Houda K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any particular feeding schedules for your cat, medical needs, or aggressive behaviors that I should be aware of IMPORTANT, for those considering *boarding*: Please know that while boarding can be a very fun experience for some cats, it is often not the best option for most cats. Even with longer vacations, most cats prefer ~2 visits a day over being moved from their environment. Only particularly social and outgoing cats and kittens may prefer boarding. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss what's best for your kitty!

A typical day

Your cat will be well fed, with a clean litter box and plenty of attention and toys to keep them happy and occupied, suited to the needs of each cat.

Experienced cat foster, sitter!

Pet care experience

In addition to cat sitting, I am an experienced cat foster in NYC, and I love getting to know new cats and their unique personalities! I've mainly volunteered with Bideawee and ACC, as well as some independent rescuers. I've taken care of cats with all sorts of different needs, ranging from kittens to senior cats, feral, shy and outgoing, as well as those with medical needs. I am dependable, responsive, and adaptable, so your cats would be in good hands!

This is the second time I’ve boarded my shy senior kitty Haiko with Houda. Houda immediately made Haiko feel relaxed and gave me peace of mind while I traveled. Haiko came back to me well taken care of and purring up a storm. Highly recommend booking with Houda!

Houda is so great!! She took the best care of our cats while we were gone - sent great photos, played with them, was very communicative, and cleaned as well! We will absolutely book again!

Houda was the perfect cat sitter! She was attentive, responsive, and flexible with scheduling. My cat came back very happy and healthy. I would absolutely recommend Houda to anyone in need of a cat sitter.
