About
I’m a caring, experienced cat sitter who focuses on creating a calm, safe environment for your pets. I’ve been in business for 16 years and have many regular cat-sitting clients.
I offer part-time cat sitting, usually once a day, and in some cases twice a day depending on your location. My standard rate is $33 per visit, and $43 per visit on holidays. I take public transportation, and for walk-up buildings there is a $10 fee if your apartment is above the 2nd floor.
I stay in touch through WhatsApp with short videos and photos so you can see that your cat is happy and well cared for. References are available upon request.
For new clients, I’m happy to visit your home for a free consultation to get to know you and your cat’s specific needs.

It wouldn't let me select all 5 attributes but I cannot recommend Patricia enough! Seeing her interact with my cat at our first meet & greet I knew she was going to be excellent -- she was very patient and understanding with my cat and very focused on making sure she had all the instructions for food, treats, vet info, etc. It is obvious she cares deeply about animals and is just a great, super reliable person. She was incredibly responsive and sent daily pictures, videos, and updates. After a few days my cat was cuddling in her lap and clearly very comfortable! I love my cat and hate leaving her but knowing she was in Patricia's hands I felt so at ease while I was away.

Patricia is awesome! I'd add punctuality and responsiveness to her qualities, but I was only allowed to select three. She's very reliable and I always feel my cats are well taken care of. Her videos are proof of that. I can't recommend Patricia enough

Patricia goes above and beyond as a cat sitter. It is so nice to be able to travel and fully trust that my cats will receive excellent care, love, and play from Patricia. She obviously cares for cats deeply, and I will continue to rely on her.

Pat is a great cat sitter! She takes care of my cat reliably and with genuine love. It’s clear that she’s a true animal lover, and I know that cat is in caring hands when I travel.
