Paw-some Cat sitter in Brooklyn

Hi, I’m Maria — a devoted cat lover and proud owner of a senior Himalayan cat. I know how special and important your cat is to you, which is why I offer the same attentive, loving care I would want for my own. Whether your cat is shy and independent or cuddly and playful, I’ll respect their boundaries, follow their routine, and give them all the comfort they need while you’re away. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and always happy to send photo updates and little notes about how your kitty is doing. From litter scooping to feeding, treats, cuddles, and playtime — I’ve got it covered with care and calm energy, creating a stress-free experience for both you and your cat. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet your furry best friend! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

During my visits, I will make sure your cat is well-fed according to their usual routine, following all dietary restrictions. I've got the litter box duty covered too – gotta keep their kingdom clean and comfy. Cuddles and playtime are a part of the deal too! I'll keep you updated with pictures. If you ever want to check in while your cat is with me, just reach out. I'm all about clear communication, and I'm happy to chat or do a video call whenever you need! I'm here to make this as smooth as possible for both you and your feline VIP. Looking forward to pampering your cat!

Maria was absolutely amazing! She was taking care of my cat Mist for a week and she went above and beyond to make sure my kitty was happy and healthy. I especially appreciated great communication with Maria, and a daily doze of cute pictures and videos of my cat!! Will definably trust Maria with taking care of Mist in the future

Maria was wonderful! My cat is very shy and usually hides from new people, but Maria was so patient and gentle with him that he actually came out and felt comfortable with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was safe and well cared for. She also left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommend Maria!

She watched my two cats for a week. She was always on time and followed all my directions perfectly. She even asked thoughtful questions and offered great suggestions to make them comfortable. My cats were so happy. She is amazing!

We are so lucky to have had Maria to look after our cats during our vacation. She was super attentive and spot on with communication. I really appreciated the daily update, as we missed our cats dearly while we were away. Couldn’t have wished for a better experience.

Maria was absolutely fantastic with my very shy, semi-feral cat, Bebe. Maria approached her with such patience, respect, and understanding. From the start, she was calm and gentle, never pushing interaction, and gave my cat the space she needed to feel safe. Remarkably, by the end of the visits, my kitty was actually more comfortable around her — a huge win! Maria also followed my very detailed instructions to a tee, which gave me total peace of mind. She sent thorough updates, including thoughtful notes and clear, great photos that truly showed how things were going, which really reassured me while I was away. Her attention to detail and commitment to my cat's comfort were above and beyond. Maria is the kind of sitter you hope to find. She truly understands cats and provides the kind of care that builds trust and comfort — both for the pet and the owner. Highly, highly recommend! Will definitely book her again.
