Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Cat Sitter & Dog Walker
I’m a longtime cat parent and sitter with hands-on experience across 8+ cats — male and female, multiple breeds, including seniors. I currently live with two cats of my own, so daily care (feeding, litter, grooming, brushing teeth, nail trims) is second nature to me. I’ve sat for cats in a variety of situations, including a 2-month stay watching two cats together and regular visits with my sister’s cat. I’m comfortable administering medication, including oral pills and liquid meds for cats managing UTIs and allergies — I know how stressful meds can be for a cat and try to make it as low-stress as possible. I also have dog walking experience, having walked friends’ dogs multiple times, and I’m happy to take on regular walks or drop-ins. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a multi-week stay, or a pet with medical needs, I’ll treat your home and animals with the same care I give my own.

Ratings and reviews
Lena was utterly awesome. She FaceTimed with me prior to booking so I could understand her setup. She sent daily updates on my kitty along with many photos. She took such great care of him, ensuring both he and her cats were safe, well fed, and cared for. I just know my cat loved her. Last, she was incredibly accommodating when pick up time caused delays and she ended up having him for 4 hours longer than she planned, which I'm so grateful for - not every sitter would do that. Last and just a bonus, she was so sweet to brush him every day. I'm sure grateful for her level of care for my baby. Would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book with her in the future if she's open to it!

Schedule
I work full-time remote, which gives me a flexible schedule for check-ins, walks, and daily care throughout the day — not just mornings and evenings. For dog walking, I’m available weekdays after 12pm. For boarding, I take one cat at a time to keep things low-stress and manageable. New cats are set up in their own isolated bedroom first, so they have a quiet, controlled space to settle in. If the owner’s comfortable with it, I can also do a gradual, supervised introduction to my own cats — but only with the owner’s permission, and only once I’m confident both the visiting cat and my cats are relaxed with each other. If either side isn’t comfortable, the visiting cat simply stays in their own space for the full stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Cats stay one at a time in a dedicated, isolated bedroom when they first arrive, so they have a quiet space to decompress before anything else happens. I use a calming diffuser and calming spray in the space to help ease the transition, plus plenty of treats to build comfort and trust. I keep a consistent routine matched to their normal schedule — feeding times, litter maintenance (scooped throughout the day), and playtime. Medications are worked into the same routine as feeding, so nothing gets missed. If the owner’s comfortable with it, I can do a slow, supervised introduction to my own two cats once the visiting cat seems settled — but only with permission, and only if both sides seem relaxed with it. If not, they simply have their own space for the whole stay.

A typical day
For cats, I focus on grooming and brushing as bonding time — most cats end up loving it — along with indoor play to keep them active and engaged, especially useful for cats who don’t get outdoor time. For dogs, walks are the main activity, and I also love playing frisbee to burn off extra energy, especially with dogs that need more than just a walk to feel satisfied.
