With my current work schedule, I'm out of the neighborhood between the hours of 9:15am-5:15pm, Tuesday to Saturday. But am available anytime outside of that. I have a pet of my own, so I generally cannot do housesitting longer than 5 or more days.

Information Kristen B. would like to know about your pet

If they have any specific needs out of the norm I should be aware of. Whether the time frame for dropping-in or walking is flexible or firm.

A typical day

If I'm walking your cat or dog, I enjoy bringing them to the park, tossing around their favorite toy or for the old timers bringing a blanket and enjoying the breeze.

Sunset Park Cat Whisperer

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm an artist living in Sunset Park since 2008, if you live close to the park, I'd love to meet & take care of your cat or dog. I usually like to keep clients within walking distance of my own home, so a few blocks outside of the actual park perimeter. Though I do make exceptions, especially if you are in a pinch! I grew up with a menagerie of pets --- dogs, cats, snakes, reptiles, bunnies, sugar gliders and have cared for a husky, golden retriever and a couple of tabby cats of my own in my adult life. I also used to volunteer for the Sean Casey animal shelter when they were in the neighborhood. I have a very calm disposition which has always served me well while working with animals. I'm also very experienced with complex situations such as nervous, anxious or aggressive pets and pets that need medication, etc. I've been dog and cat sitting for friends and neighbors for years and it's always a pleasure to meet new ones. Need a cat walker? I can do that too!

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.
