Looking for a friend for a shy older female cat in multicultural Jackson Heights, Queens!

About this assignment

We’re looking for a thoughtful, patient sitter who enjoys a quiet home and is comfortable around an independent, sometimes standoffish cat—no need to win her over, just coexist kindly.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Feed Elli twice daily (dry food is automated), keep her water fresh, occasional litter clean (infrequent), and a bit of wand-toy play if she’s in the mood.

What are the good features of the property and location

Our apartment is in a quiet part of Jackson Heights, surrounded by incredible multicultural food, leafy streets, and just a short walk to the subway—about 30 minutes into Manhattan.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

Elli is wary of new people and can be a bit hostile until she feels comfortable, so this suits someone patient and unfazed by a slow warm-up—or happy simply sharing space respectfully.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
