Type A Cat Sitter for Type A People
I have two cats of my own and know the anxiety that comes with trusting your cat with someone else. I grew up with exotic pets all my life (birds, rabbits) and once I moved on my own, I knew cats were the right fit for me. I'm a detail-oriented, Type A person in everything I do, and my cat care is no exception. I've watched friends' cats and been referred to people they know, and I find it deeply rewarding to get to bond with new cats and watch them slowly realize that I'm there to be a friend. When you book with me, we'll go over your cat's medical history, your preferred vet, and your preferred emergency vet. I want to make sure we have a Plan A, Plan B, and a Plan C so you can enjoy your time away from home without worry. I have so far administered medication in food, as well as an inhaler for my own cat's asthma. To my vet's delight, I brush my cats' teeth, and if you do as well, I'm happy to see if I can get your cat to trust me enough to try. Simply put, I'm cat-obsessed, detail-oriented, and take notes when you tell me about your cat.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to spend some time existing in your space without trying to engage with your cat. For instance, I've found that calling someone and chatting for a few minutes can help your cat learn my voice and realize that I'm not a threat. I usually start with the litter box once it's been a few minutes, and go for food when I feel like your cat is more comfortable and confident. If you have pet cameras, that's fine! I'll send at least photos of your cat whenever I visit with a short update of what they've been up to. We'll go over any behaviors I should watch out for, and what's normal for your cat.
Ratings and reviews
Nikita is amazing!!! Even my shyest cats love her,
Nikita was wonderful with our two cats. She took good care of them, making sure they were fed and played with, and that their litter boxes were cleaned. She provided timely and thorough updates, which included photos and information about their behavior and demeanor. She is very professional and willing to help us when asked. Thank you, Nikita!

Schedule
I currently have a flexible job, so I can shuffle around my schedule with some advanced notice! I can check in on your cats up to twice a day. However, I do limit my overall bookings to make sure I'm giving each cat the quality of care they deserve.
