Cat Sitting Branchburg

About: I am a 24 year old Graduate Student at Rutgers University and have been taking care of neighborhood and personal pets since I was 10! Not only have I taken care of animals in a home setting, but I have 2 years of experience in caring for animals in a veterinary setting as a veterinary assistant. I am happy to assist in any sort of special care that your pet might need - I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes! I currently have two cats of my own that I take care of myself full-time and would love the chance to love your pet as much as you do! For your animal's and my own safety, I do require proof of up-to-date vaccination before booking (primarily Rabies vaccination). I currently work as a graduate student in a research lab at Rutgers University! I am very flexible and will communicate the exact times I will be caring for your pets :) I only offer services that take place in the client's home/neighborhood as I have two animals of my own! I am flexible with walk times and really enjoy nature so I am happy to take dogs for lengthy walks. I am also appreciative of any type of animal love so couch potatoes are great for me as well! I am very diligent about making sure that animals are safe with me. I ensure that when entering the home, I greet the animal gently and let them come to me. I will never push the boundaries of an animal or add stress to their home environment. I also am very detail oriented, and will make sure that your animal gets everything they need.

“So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.”

About: I am full of love and intentionality for animals. I care for their thoughts and emotions, needs and desires. I love to connect with animals in a way that makes them feel loved, secure, stable, and safe. I have experience in training a boxer puppy which is a full-time commitment! I am able to understand an animal’s body language and their ways of communicating. This allows me to provide the care that an animal needs for any given circumstance. I have also cared for animals in their old age. This allows me to understand the various needs and aging animal has and the unique tenderness that is required to love and care for them. I am currently a student at Rutgers University. I live in Bridgewater, NJ and commute to school. I am on my final semester and have a very light schedule. I do the majority of my work from home so I have a flexible schedule that can meet various needs. I do not currently have any pets which allows for the maximum amount of attention to be devoted your animal. I live an active lifestyle and love to go on long walks and hikes with any active pets. I am also very content to lounge and relax with animals that like to do so. I am intentional and relational and eager to build a bond with any animal that I come in contact with.

“Krishna was quite dependable came when asked and followed directions and sent me pictures of my dog...can't really ask for anymore! Very appreciative!”

About: Hi! My name is Rosie and I have been caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and families for many years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, overnight stays, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. Outside of pet sitting, I have years of babysitting experience, a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Seton Hall University, and I am currently in nursing school. My background has taught me responsibility, patience, and attention to detail. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat your pets like they are my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel comfortable while away! I am currently available all summer with a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your pets while you’re away on vacations, working long hours, or just need an extra helping hand. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I will be starting nursing school again in September, so my availability may change slightly, but I will always communicate ahead of time and do my best to continue providing reliable, consistent care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I will always treat your pets like they are my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am respectful of every owner’s home and will follow all instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and special requests to provide the best care possible.

“Emma is fabulous! If you’re looking for a reliable and safe environment for your pet, she’s the one to call. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and took excellent care of my two labs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Marc was wonderful with our kitties! From the very first meet-and-greet, he was sweet, kind, professional, thoughtful, and respectful, which immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our cats in his care. During each visit, Marc went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy, cared for, and loved. He kept us consistently informed with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he truly cared about their well-being and took the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. We are so grateful for the care Marc provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat/dog sitter. Our kitties were in great hands!”

“Once again Alicia came through big time for me in such a major way. Had an unfortunate death in the family and had to travel out of town at the last minute and be away for multiple days. While being away my area got in with significant snow and still, Alicia showed up unbothered by the weather to see that my dog was taken care of. What more could I ask for? Alicia is simply amazing!! This was the 2nd time she’s provided care for my pet while I was away and I am looking forward to the next time and time after that! Thank you Alicia!!!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for 7 years for family, friends, and clients, and I absolutely love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as a gym manager, which allows me flexibility throughout the day since I typically start work later in the morning. I am also able to step away during the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and quality time with your pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members. In addition to making sure pets are happy and well cared for, I always treat every home with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect in my own space. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I personally have 2 cats, 1 dog, and a bearded dragon. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and my goal is always to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work as a gym manager Monday through Friday, and my schedule typically starts between 10 AM and 12 PM. Because of my later start time, I am available in the mornings for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I am also able to step away during my lunch break to check on pets, let them out, or spend some quality time with them. I have flexibility throughout the week, and I am available on weekends as well. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions they provide. I also make sure to be respectful of their home by keeping things clean and treating their space with care. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know each animal and provide them with the attention, affection, and exercise they need. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals and home are being well taken care of. At this time, I primarily offer care in the client’s home, including drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins.

“I discovered I had no one to watch my to somewhat challenging dogs the night before a work event. Jake was professional, offered to have a quick meet and greet before the next day's visit, and showed up on time for both visits. I added a laundry list of concerns to my dog's profile. Luckily my dog loved Jake within 5 minutes of meeting him. So much so, that when my husband returned early and accidentally let Xara escape from the house, it was Jake my dog allowed herself to be caught by. She doesn't allow anyone but her besties to get near her when she is loose.”

About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician and have extensive pet sitting experience. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!

“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”

“Luqing was absolutely amazing. Professional, conscientious, attentive, loving and playful with our cats. What more can one ask for? Highly recommend amd I don’t do that lightly.”

Christine M.

“Alexis provided daily updates and was very communicative throughout the whole booking. Jellybean was happy and healthy and enjoyed her time with Alexis while we were away!”

“Nikki dropped in to check on our cats during the long Fourth of July weekend! Everything went so well and she gave one of our cats his meds every evening. She was timely and professional and very knowledgeable!”

Beata M.

“Asia and John took care of my cat Bellatrix for 7 days while we were away on vacation. Bella is a friendly cat, but suspicious of new people. She immediately hit it off with them on the meet & greet. You know what they say, animals have a sixth sense for good people! Asia and John removed all anxiety from me during the week. Bella has cancer and they administered her medication along with keeping her company. Their communications were thorough and thoughtful. I will easily ask them to take care of our furry family member in the future!!!”

“5/5 — Another fantastic experience with Yana! Yana once again went above and beyond. She was 100% responsible, sent complete visit summaries, and shared plenty of photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own—lots of love, attention, and care for every detail. Our girls absolutely adore her! We trust Yana completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

Paulo B.

“Courtney was great; she took great care of all my cats and left everything very clean and neat. She kept me posted on how much they were eating, etc. She paid attention to all the instructions, didn't forget anything, gave my cat her asthma inhaler, and made me feel comfortable like my cats were in good hands. I would totally hire her again.”

Jen B.

“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”

“Alyssa and luke are both absolutely AMAZING!!! She accepted the job of watching my little baby kitty less than 24 hours in advance. She texted me with photo updates anytime she went over and had wonderful communication the entire time. This was my first time leaving kitty alone with someone and she made sure to put my mind at ease. I would trust Alyssa or Luke anytime with any of my animals and highly recommend working with them!”
