Safety, trust & environment

For cat boarding service, your cat will stay in my small two-bedroom apartment, where they will have access to all rooms. I keep the place quiet, clean and cat-friendly. I can provide the litter box, litter (no charge), food bowls and cat toys as well. I work from home full-time, so during the day your furry friends will have me as their companion as well! Feel free to reach out if you'd like a tour or video of my space before booking!

Information Tanya T. would like to know about your pet

Here is my checklist of things that I will ask you ahead of time: 1. Daily Routine: Feeding schedule and portion sizes, usual playtime, preferred type of play or toys. 2. Any medical conditions or allergies: Medications they take and instructions for administering them. 3. Behavior and Personality: How they typically react to new people or environments. Any triggers that may cause stress (e.g., loud noises). Comfort levels with being handled or petted. 4. Litter Box Habits: Litter preferences (type and frequency of cleaning). Any signs of issues like irregular use or discomfort. 5. Dietary Preferences: Preferred brand and flavor of food. Treat preferences (and how often to give them). Any foods to avoid. 6. Favorite Activities or Toys: Toys they enjoy most or enrichment activities they like. Whether they like interactive play or solo activities. 7. Special Instructions: Rules for specific areas they are or aren’t allowed (e.g., counters, furniture). Comfort items (blankets, beds, or a favorite toy). How to calm them if they become anxious or scared. 8. Emergency Contacts: Vet information and preferred clinic. Emergency contact details (if owner is unavailable)

A typical day

Interactive plays (e.g. Using feather wands, laser pointers, or string toys), Chasing Games: Rolling crinkly balls or tossing small plush toys for them to chase and bat around. Every cat has unique preferences, so I would pay attention to what your cat enjoys most and tailor activities accordingly!

Experienced cat sitter in the city

Cat care experience

BOOKINGS WELCOME! I’m finally back in the city and excited to care for your furry friend! As a lifelong cat lover, I have cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, whether for family, friends, or during my time volunteering at cat shelters. I understand how unique each cat’s personality is and will provide the tailored care and attention your feline deserves. I offer both drop-in visits and cat sitting services. Here’s what you can expect: - Feeding and hydration: Ensuring your cat sticks to their usual routine. - Litter box maintenance: Keeping things clean and fresh. - Playtime and enrichment: Tailored to their energy levels and preferences. - Cuddles and comfort: Plenty of affection (if they enjoy it) or respectful space to relax. - Daily updates: Pictures and messages so you feel reassured while you’re away. - For cat sitting service, your cat will stay in my two-bedroom apartment, where they’ll have plenty of room to explore, play, and unwind. The space is clean, quiet, and cat-friendly—a perfect home away from home. I would love the chance to care for your cat and ensure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away!

Tanya took such great care of our cat! She was very tolerant and spoiled our naughty cat. Great communication and lots of photos/videos. Would definitely recommend having Tanya care for our pets in the future!

Tanya was fantastic with my cat, Cinnamon! I had never used Rover before and was a little nervous but she made me feel great from the start! She came and did a meet and greet beforehand and then sent me so many updates and photos throughout each visit - and I could see how happy Cinnamon was with her in all the updates she sent!!
