I’ve been a travel photographer for over 10 years and now work as a freelance photographer based in NYC, which gives me a mostly flexible schedule since I’m not traveling as often. I love spending time with animals in between photo shoots and creative projects. As a spontaneous and dependable person, I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute or emergency requests. I always adjust my care to fit each pet’s unique needs and personality.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own, providing love, attention and patience. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe and happy. I’m attentive to their behavior and routines, ensuring they stay comfortable and well-cared for while you’re away.

Information Nastasia Y. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to understand your pet’s unique needs, habits, and personality. Some key things I like to know ahead of time include: • Daily routine: Feeding schedules, exercise needs, and preferred activities. • Behavior: Any quirks, fears, or things they love (e.g., favorite toys or treats). • Health: Medical history, medications, allergies, or any conditions I should be aware of. • Social preferences: How they interact with other animals or people, and whether they prefer calm or active environments. • Rules: Any household rules or boundaries you’d like me to maintain with your pet (e.g., furniture restrictions or leash rules). The more details you share, the better I can ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for!

A typical day

For cats, I love spending time playing, grooming, and making sure their environment is clean and stimulating. For dogs, I enjoy going on walks, engaging in fun activities, and keeping up with their energy levels. I always prioritize their health and well-being. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is loved and cared for in your absence.

Great photographer and pet lover

Cat care experience

My love for cats began in 2010 with my first white Persian. Since then, I’ve turned into a die hard cat lady. Now, I have Brooklyn, another white Persian who’s 4 years old and the absolute love of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats, and they’re often very comfortable around me because of my gentle nature. Caring for and playing with them brings me so much joy- I’d love to care for your cat too ☺️

Nastasia went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy and exercised, and provided so many good photos and videos during my whole trip! She is very communicative and attentive, and the best sitter I’ve used on rover :)

Our Mango absolutely adored Nastasia. She was very responsive, took plenty of great photos/videos for us to see how well Mango was taken care of. She knew which toys Mango responded to making sure he was active and always looked happy to see her. Would love to rebook Nastasia in the near future!
