Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

If your kitty isn’t into traditional play, I’ll find other ways to keep them stimulated, such as getting them to chase their treats. Brushing or just quietly chatting with your kitty and offering scritches can put them at ease and develop trust.

Information Yolanda H. would like to know about your pet

Tell me everything about your kitty so I can be the best sitter to them! What does your kitty like or dislike? What are their favorite toys? What makes them feel the safest and most comfortable?

A typical day

I let your kitty take the lead, whether they want to chase the wand nonstop or hide in their favorite spot, I’m here to cater to their whims. If your kitty is on the shy side, I’ll quietly chat with them to coax them out for some pets or try to get them to open up with treats. For the energetic ones, we’ll maximize playtime to burn off the zoomie energy! And if your kitty lives for lap time and cuddles they will get that whenever they please.

Dedicated Cat Sitter

Cat care experience

Experienced sitter specializing in kitty care. I adore cats and also volunteer with a cat rescue in Brooklyn. As a fellow cat parent of an elderly 17 year old kitty, I understand that it can be nerve wracking when you have to be away from your beloved pets. That’s why my top priority is to ensure your kitty is not just fed and cared for, but genuinely happy, comfortable, and entertained while you’re gone. I love shy kitties and will engage them on their terms to help them come out of their shell. I am extremely patient with shyer/anxious/skittish kitties to ensure they are comfortable and getting the amount of affection and attention they need. My own senior kitty has me on a four meal/day feeding routine with special add-ins for each meal, so I’m very familiar with finicky eaters. I am happy to follow the most regimented feeding instructions to ensure your kitty follows their normal routine. I’m also experienced at giving oral meds and aim to be as efficient as possible so it’s stress free. You can expect plenty of pics, videos, and a detailed write up of all the shenanigans your kitty and I get up to. I’m fully engaged with your cat each visit and love to capture adorable moments to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind. The highlight of my day is spending time with your kitties. Their silly antics bring me so much joy and make my day! I will care for them and love them like my own.

Yolanda is so great with our cats: she truly goes above and beyond, and they love having her stop in. We got so lucky when we came across her on Rover, and we would highly recommend her to anyone.
