I've spent years raising a super high-energy, reactive husky mix, and volunteering in shelters, so I'm used to handling 'spicy' cats and anxious dogs with a lot of patience.

About Longwood Medical Area
Cat sitting in Longwood Medical Area, what it actually looks like
The Longwood Medical Area is the medical-school + teaching-hospital complex straddling the Boston-Brookline line: Brigham and Women's, Beth Israel Deaconess, Dana-Farber, Boston Children's, plus Harvard Medical School itself. Residential walk-ups and condo buildings line the surrounding blocks (Longwood Avenue, Brookline Avenue, Vining Street), heavy with medical residents, fellows, postdocs, and hospital staff. The Riverway (the Emerald Necklace's northern extension) borders the area with shaded walking paths.
Longwood sitters specialize in medical-resident scheduling: 24-to-36-hour on-call shifts that need flexible drop-in visits, plus 2-to-4-week vacation windows once a year tied to academic-medicine calendars (June-July fellowship transitions, December-January research conferences). Cat-sitting demand dominates because medical residents move frequently and cats fit their lifestyle. The breed mix for dogs leans small and apartment-friendly (Cavaliers, Frenchies) plus medium Goldendoodles for the longer-tenure faculty households.
