“Steffany was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were away for 5 days. She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was very clear that our cat trusted her very quickly, (she even slept next to her at night) 🥹 They played together a lot, and I’m sure she truly loved being around her. She also sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We are so happy we found her, and now we feel completely at ease about our future trips knowing our cat is in such loving and responsible hands. We highly recommend her 🤍🐱”

“Gabrielle is wonderful! She is wonderfully responsive, kind and caring. She took great care of my precious pets and sent wonderful updates throughout the time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Georgia and Alissa did a wonderful job checking in on our cat while we were on vacation. We received really nice pictures after every visit, our instructions were followed perfectly, and communication was great. I felt confident about our cat’s care while we were away. Would highly recommend them!”
About: Hello my name is Tobi! I have owned dogs my entire life and have over a years worth of experience working with dogs at a doggy daycare center and veterinary clinic. I am comfortable working with different breeds, temperaments, and I am always up for a challenge! I will always make sure that your pooch is safe and happy while in my care and will recieve the attention/love they deserve. I can assure you that I will always be on time and fully prepared to take care of your beloved pet. I have always believed in going above and beyond for customers and it is something I continue to do to this day. Thank you for considering me! I'm typically available in the evenings and weekends but honestly, just feel free to ask me if I might be free! I'm versatile and will always do my best! I will follow whatever routine that is best fit for your pet! Whatever schedule you have set for them, I will ensure that I follow it as closely as possible.
About: I’m reliable, gentle, and attentive. I make sure every pet receives the care they need while keeping their routine consistent. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. Since I was young, I’ve helped care for the pets of friends and family, learning how important it is to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. During summers in New York, I also began pet sitting for people outside my immediate circle, which gave me experience caring for pets in different homes and following each owner’s specific routines and instructions. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s usual routine and schedule to help them feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I want pets to feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’ll be caring for them in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and always make sure everything is left clean and secure.
“Lauren is a wonderful cat-sitter and she quickly established a connection with Coco. She gave her the medication she needed and kept me informed about Coco's daily routines. Lauren is very experienced with caring for cats that have medical issues so I felt confident in leaving Coco in her capable hands. I have no doubt that I will be asking for Lauren's help again!”
About: I have been a cat owner all of my life. I don't actually remember not having cats around. I am very natural with cats, in the prime of their lives and also in the last years of their lives. I have experience administering medication to cats. I have also done dog sitting in the past and enjoy taking care of small to medium sized dogs. I am working part-time, but my shifts are never later than 5:30 PM. I have no other obligations outside of work, and can easily stop by before or after my shifts. I would even be able to stop by before AND after, if necessary! My Sundays are always off from that job so I have full availability on Sundays for pet care! I am not available for caring for pets inside my own home. However, I am more than happy to go to your home to take care of your cat. I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I understand that I am a visitor, but this is where your cat is the most comfortable, because it's their own space. It is not my job to disrupt their comfort and routine. Instead, I will follow any and all instructions given to me to ensure that the visit is a positive one. I believe in communicating very clearly, letting clients know when I've arrived and left, ensuring that the door has been locked. I will always send photos because I know when I am away, I like when sitters send me photos of my cat. You never need to wonder how your cat is doing. I am there to make you feel comfortable and to make your cat comfortable as well.
About: I have had dogs and puppies as my own pets back in my home country years back that some were senior dogs too. In the years, I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies from my neighbors and family friends. I’ve always loved dogs and are my weakness of how adorable and playful they are. As well as, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe their pets. I’ve had really good relationships with any age type of the pup. As therefore, one of my neighbor’s dog gets always excited when she sees me. I’m currently in a gap year of college for this year, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for drop-in visits and walking the dogs out. Therefore, I am available from Monday to Friday at 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment for your pups. I follow their routines, provide fresh water and food, taking them on walks to explore and make news friends at dog parks, give them attention, and always treat them with patience, respect, kindness, and care.
“Sinead provided Meowy with excellent care during their drop in visits. She arrived promptly, gave Meowy her food and antibiotics, cleaned the litter box and sent the cutest check in photo of meowy playing with her wand toy. I would be happy to re-book with Sinead in future and can confidently recommend her services.”
“Arleth was fabulous with my cat! She went from hiding the first time she came over to meeting Arleth at the door and showing her belly. I so appreciate the communication and care that Arleth showed, I would definitely book her again!”
“Gracen went above and beyond to take care of Terr! She was communicative and responsive, sending us lots of photos while we were away. We trusted her completely with Terr and would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet!”
About: My name is Nhu (Mandy) I'm a freelance designer/artist, so I set my own hours and work close to home. That means I'm around for midday walks, last-minute requests, and the days your plans run long. I've been looking after dogs in my building for friends and neighbours for a while now. Whether they need a walk, some treats, or just a buddy to hang out with until their people get home, I'm happy to be there. Walking and playing with dogs is honestly the best part of my day. I'll keep your pup happy and tired out so you can enjoy your plans without worrying. Expect plenty of photo updates! I am a freelance designer and artist so my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually work from home during the day, so I can easily fit in midday walks and drop-in visits around my projects. Evenings and weekends are generally open too, and I am happy to work with last-minute requests when I can. I follow your routines and instructions closely, from feeding times to meds to house rules. You know your pet best, so I stick to what works for them. With dogs, I pay attention to their personality early on. That helps me keep them safe on walks and know when it is okay to say hi to other dogs and when to give them space. If your pet stays with me, I have a backyard and lots of parks nearby, so there is plenty of room for them to play and explore. I will keep you updated with photos so you always know how they're doing.

Sam and Matt have looked after my cats twice and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. My cats warmed up to them super quickly and got lots of love from them while I was out. They send regular updates and photos so I’m always at ease knowing my kitties are happy and taken care of. I’ll continue using their services and would recommend them to anyone that is looking for professional, caring sitters for their pets.
My cats absolutely loved their play date and feeding with Kwai Kei! They were really relaxed when I got home and I didn’t have to worry about getting home late from a work assignment. The boys both enjoyed some interaction with their kitty toys and a fun visit with Kwai! Thank you!
We were nervous about leaving our 7-month old kittens alone for the first time. We chose Naveen as a sitter because he was highly recommended by a friend and we’re so happy we did! The kittens were well cared for and got lots of pets and playtime. We appreciated the photos and videos Naveen sent. He’s super thorough and kind. We’d absolutely choose him again!
Sylvain was a remarkable sitter for our cat. He was caring and attentive from day one, and he kept us updated constantly — photos, little notes, and honest reports on how our baby was doing. That meant the world to us while we were away. Our cat was happy and playful the whole time, clearly comfortable and well looked after, and honestly, Sylvain kept *us* calm too. You can tell he genuinely loves animals. We would trust him with our baby again in a heartbeat — highly recommended.
Karen was an incredible cat sitter. Incredibly attentive and diligent, I could tell she cared about the cats greatly. She sent tons of amazing photos and spent treasured time with my cats. They both looked happy and healthy upon my return and the apartment was in great condition.
I can’t recommend Alaia enough! I hired her to look after my cat while my husband and I were travelling in Europe for two weeks, with two visits a day, and she took such wonderful care of my cat. Alaia was incredibly attentive, reliable, and thoughtful. She consistently went above and beyond what was expected, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat’s well-being. Knowing my cat was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind when travelling, but Alaia made the whole experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her with my cat again. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, caring, and truly goes the extra mile, Alaia is the person to book!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Hoora and Mehrdad gave to our 2 cats while we were away! During each visit they provided us with so many cute (and high quality) photos and videos to keep us up to date. You can tell how much they love cats in how they interact and play with them during the visit. The litter box was kept clean and tidy and our cats dietary instructions were followed perfectly. They were so respectful of our space and we couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you guys, we will reach out again for more cat sitting in the future! ☺️
Isabela took great care of our kitties while we were away for a week! I work from home and they’re pretty needy so I was worried an hour daily drop-in wouldn’t be enough, but we came home to a super happy Bean and Toast. If anything I think their standards for playtime are even higher now 😅 Amazing communication, we absolutely loved the photo updates and Isabela really paid attention to what the kitties needed and how they were feeling each day. They fight sometimes and can be picky with weird things like where they eat their lunch, but she always made sure they were taken care of and kept us in the loop! I didn’t even tell her about moving their bowls around at lunch since it’s kinda crazy levels of high maintenance, but we noticed in the photos that she picked up on that and was doing it for them anyways hahaha. We highly recommend Isabela!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
