UWS Cat Specialist 🐈🐈⬛
Hi y’all! Before I moved to the UWS, I was the Cat Adoption Manager at the largest no-kill animal rescue in Austin, TX. I'm comfortable with cats of all temperaments & special needs and can administer medications. Updates with pictures & videos are guaranteed with each visit :) **NEW AS OF JUNE 2026: cannot accommodate AM visits during the week** I have two rescue kitties (and a rescue pup!) of my own whom I love dearly. I always treat my clients the way I would want my babies to be treated ❤️ Cat Drop-In Visit: I take care of feeding, refreshing water, scooping the litter box, enrichment (cuddles, pets, playtime) and medications if needed. I always take pictures & videos and send real-time updates during each visit. Visit Options: - $25/30min - $35/45min - $45/60min Happy to discuss alternative options that suit your specific needs. Medications & Health: I can administer oral, nasal, eye, ear, fluids, and some injectables. I’m trained in feline medical monitoring and take the responsibility of your cat’s wellbeing very seriously. Please let me know if there are any medical concerns I should be aware of, even if your kitty is not on medications. Meet n Greet: prior to your first booking starting, we’ll have a meet n greet to ensure all the important information about your kitty is shared so I can provide appropriate care. Meet n greets can either be in person or virtual, and that is fully up to you! Upper West Side: my working radius is limited to the local UWS area, typically 70s-80s. During inclement weather, or when public transit is unreliable, I am still able to get to all my clients and provide care without disruption. This also allows me to be flexible with schedules, pet parent travel plans/delays, and accept urgent last minute requests.

Ratings and reviews
Talya did an awesome job!! My cat loves her and was so well cared for
I could not recommend Talya more highly. As a new cat owner, I was anxious leaving my cat for a few nights. She was timely with every visit, followed instructions for feeding and play, and sent so many cute video and picture updates. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips :)
Talya is a phenomenal cat sitter. We have a senior cat who requires daily medicating, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that she was in good hands. Talya sends frequent updates and plenty of photos and videos, which we love!
Talya was exactly the right person to ease our worry. We had to travel while our 15 year old cat Mari was in a cone, (recovering from a minor procedure) and Talya made a point to help Mari access her food bowl more easily, was able to resecure the cone when Mari found a way out of it, and sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend. All in all, and through a couple flight cancellations, our weekend was made so much easier with Talya's help.
Booked Talya for last minute visits and she was very responsive. My cat loved hanging out with her and she was very attentive and provided great updates. Would definitely rebook with her again.
Talya took such great care of my cat Sabrina!!
