Pet care experience
*Due to the nature of cat care, please know that I prioritize cats I've hosted before so they always have a safe and friendly place to turn to while their owners are away! ** It is with sadness that I announce that Pomelo the bunny passed away on October 2022. If you had boarded with us in the past, thank you for bringing your beloved cat and or dog for Pomelo to befriend, and for the excitement those visits brought to his life 💛 ---- Hi there, My name is Linda and I am a warm, energetic, and engaging pet caretaker with a strong sense of responsibility and commitment to excellent pet care! I have looked after friends' and neighbours' pets for many years. I am particularly experienced with caring for cats and bunnies, including those with special needs. I can board your pet in my comfortable and safe studio apartment, where I accept only one client at a time, and also where I also provide litterboxes, water fountain, cat bowls, various treats, toys, and a cat condo. Ask me any questions you may have! Your pet is your family, and I understand what it's like to be away from them. If you invite me to become a part of your pet's life, even if only briefly, my goal is to make sure that my presence is a calming, positive, and overall beneficial one for your companion. In the past, I've volunteered as a dog walker and cat caretaker in NYC: Ollie's Place cat shelter in the East Village and Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn. As a life-long cat owner, I am also Trap-Neuter-Return certified by the (A)SPCA in cat colony care, general cat rehabilitation, and feral kitten care. I also have extensive experience in administering oral medication (diabetic, cancer, eye, antibiotic and anti-anxiety medications), subcutaneous fluids, and other health treatments such as tube feeding and tube medications to cats. I am happy to work with you with your pet's needs to ensure they have a happy, safe, and healthy time when they're under my care.
Reviews
Linda S. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Linda is an amazing sitter! I’ve used her twice and I could not be happier.
Linda very recently took care of my cat for 2.5 weeks. Linda took time to (re-)gain my cat's trust and ensured that my cat was comfortable. Throughout the 2.5 weeks, Linda sent daily pictures and updates. It was obvious from these updates that my cat is very happy and comfortable with Linda. I feel very lucky to have booked with Linda before. I will absolutely book with her again whenever I need cat care in the future!
Linda was amazing and very professional with our rescue cat who def has special needs. She wrote daily updates with photos. I would absolutely have her look after our cat again. We feel very lucky to have found her!!!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is of the utmost importance to me. I do not keep toxic plants of any kind, and my apartment, building, and balcony are pet-proofed and pet-friendly. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and secure. My experience in high-needs/senior pet care makes me an observant and responsible caretaker for animals needing extra attention.
