Top rated Downtown house sitters

“Very professional, clean, and cares a lot about your pets. Communicates well and sends lots of pictures. Will definitely be booking again! She was a pleasure to work with and I know our cats were lucky to have her while we were away.”


“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”


“Schirn did a wonderful job watching my puppy while I was overseas on vacation. She sent updates and photos every day, and kept her occupied with lots of activity and play. I will (hopefully) work with her again the next time we take a vacation. Thank you!!”



“Jada is absolutely wonderful! We just came home to the most relaxed and happy kitty after a few days out of town and couldn't be more pleased with her work. She is prompt, communicative, kind, and was just so great with our best guy. This was our first booking with Jada and we will definitely be contacting her again. Highly recommend for excellent cat care!”


“Jennifer is a great cat & house sitter! She took care of my elderly cat who requires epilepsy meds 3x a day. She provided daily updates and cute photos. And she was also very patient with our new home (we just moved and discovered that it floods when it rains, which it did when we were away). Thank you!”



“Josefa took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away on vacation. She provided daily updates. She was great with the dogs and it allowed us to have a peace of mind that they were in excellent hands while we were away. We definitely recommend (and will work with her again!)”


“Rebecca was amazing. She took great care of our boy and gave daily updates. She was very professional and left our place impeccable. I would highly recommend her and use her again to sit for mason.”


“Adri is amazing! Could not recommend her enough. We have two dogs that we had never had a sitter for and we were concerned they would be a lot to handle, each with their own tricky quirks. Since one is only 6 months old, we still have a hard time ourselves at times and we needed someone to mind them for a whole week. But the week went by without issue and we had a steady stream of really great pictures of them as a bonus. We also came back to our place looking better than we left it. We are super grateful to have made the connection and would not hesitate to have Adri sit them again.”


“Chandra has been amazing watching our two cats over the weekend, she made sure they were clean well loved! Our one male cat who is not neutered yet has recently taken up yowling in the night which Chnadra happily accepted and was very sweet about!”


“Sarah was super attentive of Beau. My dog has intense separation anxiety and she has handled it super well. She’s always on time and my shy dog always is so excited to see her!”


“Fiona was amazing with my big sensitive rescue dog while I was out of the country for a few days. She was so responsive and thoughtful with updates and pictures while I was away and administered all of Clifford’s meds and even took him to his favorite pet store. So lucky to have found her!”


“Stephanie is so great with my pups! She sends me regular text and photo updates (and somehow manages to get Levi & Jas to sit still for the cutest pictures). She accommodates my specific requests, including cleaning the pups’ paws after every walk. I trust her to take good care of my pups while I’m away for two weeks on vacation. She is attentive, thorough, and so sweet with Levi and Jas. They’re always happy after her visits! Stephanie is a wonderful caregiver and I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Morgan is amazing! She very professional and takes her job very seriously which was important to me. My pets were very happy and well taken care of. Morgan is also prompt and has great communication she didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions plus she kept me updated on my pets (even sent me pictures) to make me feel more comfortable and put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Morgan for any type of pet or house sitting!”


“Amanda was extremely patient with our nervous Nellie & provided us with updates throughout her stay to let us know how our pup was doing. She took great care of our apartment & even assisted in communicating with our neighbors about a package that was delivered late. Nellie had a great time & is looking forward to hanging with Amanda sometime soon!”



“Berenice was fantastic! Our rescue dog has some anxiety and reactivity issues on a leash so I am always nervous to leave him but Berenice was great with him. She sent daily updates with tons of pictures and Koby looked so happy in every one of them. Our apartment was also spotless when we returned. I cannot recommend Berenice enough!!”


“Anj was awesome with our fur baby! This was the very first time mycah was left alone with a sitter and I couldn’t be happier with how Anja took such great care of him. She was kind, sweet and very patient with our little anxious boy. I will definitely reach out to her the next time we come to NY. Thank you so much Anj!”
