“Josefa was absolutely incredible! Not only did she watch my puppy with care and constant communication (with pictures!), but she was filled with education and knowledge, tips and suggestions on how to continue training him. We will definitely be reaching back out next time we need a sitter :)”

“Giovanni was communicative, helpful and an amazing dog sitter and house guest. He walked the dog through all types of inclement weather, kept us updated, and left our place cleaner than we left him with - which is above and beyond. He is so kind and considerate!”

“Gabrielle was terrific on a 2 night overnight stay with Frida! Took great care of her, stayed in touch with pics, and left the apt nice and tidy! Totally trustworthy, caring, and responsible!”

“Adriana was an amazing sitter! She house sat and watched my 10yr old jack russell mix, and gave me frequent updates. She was a super polite house guest, and took great care of my dog. When I came home he was calm and happy! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Adriana again to house sit for me again.”

“Requested Avary the day before and was immediately reached out to, to confirm the booking and get familiar with our puppy. Avary proceeded to communicate ETA, sending pics on arrival and kept me up to date on the good potty moments and the bad. Will definitely be rebooking and recommend Avary without any hesitation to anyone who needs a sitter!”


“Carolyn was great with our boys! Very communicative, provided pictures, and left our place clean. We came back to happy and healthy pets. Would definitely book again!”

About: I am an unapologetic single cat lady and lover of animals. I've been caring for cats my entire adult life - my own and others - and I can't imagine a life without them. I raised my first cat from kittenhood to her end at nineteen years old, and in that time I learned how special the human/animal relationship is. I know how much you love your pets because I feel the same way. I'm a freelancer, so my time is my own. I can easily come to your home twice a day for feeding or just companionship! I am also able to house-sit without too much advance notice, so if you're in a crunch I'm your girl. Of course I provide the essentials of existence - food, water, a clean box - but we know that cats need more than just the minimum. I will cheerfully offer whatever sort of affection and companionship your beast likes best, and I will make sure they are as happy as possible in your absence.
“Mary was delightful, so sweet and loving with Leo and sent us photos throughout the day. Leo loved her and was much less anxious than if we would have left him alone for such a long time. We would definitely hire Mary again!”

“Such a beautiful thing to have Jennifer house sit again, and be the best friend my cat could ask for! He’s a very sensitive cat, feels it all with his whiskers, so seeing him happy and healthy after two long weeks away is such a gift. Jennifer’s just a wonderful person, kind and skillful, and my cat and I are major fans. Loved seeing the photos, and updates, and I know that Jen went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe, healthy, and playing as much as possible. And the place was in good shape too! Can’t say enough positive things about this house/catsit with Jennifer, and how much it means to me. She did a great job and we’re so grateful!”

“Fiona was wonderful with my pups! She sent pictures and updates on their activities. My pups were very happy and that made me happy. I hope she is always available when I need a sitter.”


“Jolexis is the best! She recently housesat for us and our four pets (yes, four!), doing a wonderful job. Responsible, patient and highly communicative, we never felt too far away from our dogs and cats, despite being all the way across country... So happy we found her, and can't wait to rebook her. Would highly recommend her to other anxious travelers/pet owners.”

“Meaghan was so great! She left my place clean and my cat Louie happy after house sitting for me. She was very responsive to my messages and gave Louie lots of attention and care.”

“Brenda was great! This was my first time leaving my dog with a rover overnight, Brenda made me feel at ease. She sent many photo updates and was a great communicator.”


“I had such a great experience with Darían and truly can’t recommend her enough! I was in a stressful last-minute situation, and she immediately stepped in to help. She took amazing care of my cat, Canela, and kept me updated with the sweetest photos and thoughtful check-ins throughout. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. Canela can be a wild kitten and likes to test boundaries, but Darían handled her with so much patience and care - she really found a way to bond with her. This experience honestly restored my faith in pet care services. I would absolutely book Darían again and highly reco her to anyone looking for someone thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely kind with their pets.”

“Just like last time, Penny seemed very happy during her stay with Carmen! She was extremely communicative and gave me updates daily. Highly recommend Carmen!”

“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”

“Nala absolutely loved Alex from the moment she walked in the door. Alex sent us a photo every day and updated us on how Nala was doing. Would definitely book her again.”


“Rob took amazing care of our dog, Melon. This was our first time leaving her, and we were very nervous, but Rob was kind, communicative, and professional. It was clear that Melon was in excellent hands and she obviously adored him. 10/10 would recommend and will have Rob back ASAP to spend more time with our girl the next time we’re out of town.”

“My dog has separation anxiety, but Anjali made her feel very comfortable and was attentive to her needs. Anjali was also very flexible and accommodating to my schedule!”

Second time using Maggie. She is an incredible pet sitter! She is responsible, attentive and extremely easy to communicate with. Sent me great pictures of my dog throughout the stay and left our home in perfect shape. Highly recommend Maggie for any and all pet sitting needs!

Carmen was a fantastic pet sitter for my very needy older dog! We were away for a long weekend so Carmen stayed at our apartment and was so caring and communicative throughout the whole stay. Bella (our dog) has severe separation anxiety and can be a serious handful but Carmen handled everything perfectly and gave us updates with great photos so we didn’t have to worry. Vella also needs various medications multiple times a day which Carmen handled expertly. She made us feel super comfortable and we’d definitely rebook!

Astrid was the perfect sitter to take care of our girl during our quick getaway. We decided we wanted someone to stay at our place instead of boarding like we usually do, and I immediately felt she was trustworthy and responsible. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which is always so appreciated. Would definitely book Astrid again, thank you so much!

Layla has a calm and reassuring energy that makes her amazing at caring for pets. She stayed in our home to care for our 5-year old cavapoo for 8 days. Our dog typically has anxiety when we’re away and can also be a little restless when we return. However, with Layla she was chill and happy. Layla took loving care of her and our space. I fully recommend her to others seeking peace of mind for your pets. Thank you, Layla!!!

Adriana was an amazing sitter! She house sat and watched my 10yr old jack russell mix, and gave me frequent updates. She was a super polite house guest, and took great care of my dog. When I came home he was calm and happy! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Adriana again to house sit for me again.

Jolexis was such a great sitter for my baby girl Toph. She was attentive to her needs and always updated me on Toph's day to day. Toph is a bit more of an anxious dog, so it was so important for me to have such a caring sitter. I felt like she was very understanding and well-suited for my anxious dog. I would book her again, and recommend her to anyone who wants to leave their dogs in great hands!
