“We could not be happier with Kacie! She took care of our Maine Coon for a little over a week and did a phenomenal job. We felt completely at ease knowing our guy was being so well taken care of! And from the looks of things, he was a very happy camper as well! Kacie is responsible, kind, compassionate, caring and extremely attentive. Not to mention, incredibly flexible also. We would highly recommend Kacie for your pet’s needs and will also most definitely be using Kacie again for ours!!”
“Melissa is so fantastic. She is flexible, responsive to communication, and great with animals. We got wonderful photos and updates when during her drop in visits with our cat Nora. We felt like Nora was in very good hands and that she had lots of fun with Melissa. We would definitely book Melissa again and would highly recommend her.”
“I had a great experience with Anna! She took great care for my two kitties and showed them lots of love. I really appreciate that she was able take care of them despite my last minute request.”
“Stephanie was excellent with our two cats. She was able to help us out with cat-sitting on short notice, which was so appreciated. I was able to do a meet and greet with Stephanie and our cats took to her right away, which made me feel secure while we were out of town. She was very communicative, letting me know when she was heading over, and doing a report each time she dropped in to feed them. One of my cats needs medication with each meal, and it was no problem for Stephanie. I love getting photos of the cats and updates. Stephanie was comfortable with our security cameras, too. We will definitely be hiring her again when we're away -- our cats were well taken care of and Stephanie was professional, kind, and responsive.”
“Anne-Marie is AMAZING! While we were away for a week, Anne-Marie dropped in every day to check in our cat Ruby. She kept me apprised each day and sent lovely photos and videos. She followed all our instructions to a tee and was absolutely sweet towards Ruby. When we go away again, we are most definitely booking with Anne-Marie!”
“Shaira was absolutely wonderful! I loved seeing and reading her updates about my two cats. I know that she took care of both of them as if they were her own cats, which meant the world to me! I can’t recommend her highly enough if you need a pet sitter!”
“Megan was great! We needed someone to check in on our cat Ruby for a week while we were out of the country. Megan took awesome photos and left detailed updates about not just our kitty but also the state of the home in general (ie no random leaking, etc). She was super communicative and responsive. We would definitely book with Megan again!!”
“Sophia took such great care of our cats while we were away! She is very reliable and punctual and she provided great updates and photos. We would definitely use her again and would recommend her.”

“Hired Emily to do drop in visits on our pets during our Wedding weekend. We have 2 big dogs and a cat, she was great with all of them. Sent plenty of great photos and gave good updates, plus the animals loved her. Would definitely recommend and will be my go to if we need a pet sitter again.”
About: Hello I am Lily and I’ve been around pets my whole life! I grew up in NYC with three dachshunds (Dexter, Waffles, and Eloise) and now share my home in Branford with two playful cats (Napoleon,and Josephine). Living with so many pets over the years has taught me how much they mean to their families, and I always treat every animal with the same love and care I give my own, like family. By day, I work as a lawyer, but in the evenings and on weekends I dedicate my time to caring for animals. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or just keeping your pets company, my priority is making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and flexible with weekend availability. If you’re looking for someone responsible who will treat your pets like their own, I’d love to help! I do have restrictions in the times that I am free to help out. I am a full-time student in my senior year of high school. Therefore, I am only available after-school hours and on weekends to help out. However, if your building is in gramercy, I can help out during my lunch hour since my school is on 22 and Lexington. In addition, I am unable to have pets stay at my apartment, however, I am available to spend the night at the owner's apartment to help out, if necessary. II look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your dog! Care fits into my routine by combining check ins with quality time. Evenings on weekdays and anytime on weekends for feedings, walks, playtime - no matter the length of tome - are all scheduled around my work and personal life to ensure your pet gets the attention, care and companionship it needs. I make sure they feel safe comfortable and loved, giving plenty of attention and love and keep their environment clean and secure by following the owners rules and pets routines when it comes to feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. I also communicate with owners regularly to update on how their fur babies are doing.
“Emma was so lovely to work with! She came and met the dogs ahead of time, which was great. She kept me up-to-date with her drop in visits, including pictures! The dogs really liked her & I will definitely use her again!”
“Samantha did an excellent job in taking care of our Sheba recently. She was very conscientious and caring. Samantha communicated with us and sent pictures while we were away. Sheba enjoyed her time there so much that she didn’t want to go home when we went to pick her up. I would highly recommend Samantha for all your pet’s needs when you have to leave them.”
