“Leila was a communicative and reliable cat sitter for our two energetic, playful kitties. She followed all instructions diligently and made sure they had their food, clean litter boxes, and play time. She also helped keep the place tidy and put away fragile things that the cats could’ve knocked over. Overall, Leila provided solid care for our cats and gave us peace of mind while we were away!”


“Emily is always so professional and kind. She sends consistent updates and pictures and I feel relaxed knowing she is taking great care of our cat while we’re away. She’s a great communicator and I’d recommend to anyone :)”


“Nicholas was a joy to work with. Super reliable, would use the app appropriately, and would send comments and pics after every visit. Would definitely use their services again!”



“Marvin was great! He went the extra mile and spent a lot of time opening my door when it was stuck. He sent adorable photos and a video of my cat from his visits. Thanks Marvin!”


“I always book with Priscilla when she is available! She has looked after my cat Ivy several times, but this was the first time she also looked after new little sister Dottie. I felt much better leaving Dottie alone for the first time knowing that she'd be in good hands with Priscilla! Sure enough everyone was well taken care of and Priscilla's good care put my mind at ease :)”


“Carol was amazing with my Peanut!! She made her comfortable and engaged with her (although Peanut can be a bit feisty) I’m very particular about who watches her and will absolutely book with Carol next time!”


“Fia is absolutely fantastic! She is reliable and truly cares about my dog’s happiness and well-being. Every walk is more than just a quick trip outside, she gives my dog plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I can always tell how much my dog adores her, which gives me total peace of mind when I can’t be there. Fia also keeps me updated with photos and notes, which is such a thoughtful touch.”


“Morgan has been such a wonderful Rover for our two cats! She is highly responsive and communicative. She has administered ear drops for our very *spirited* cats, and they still really like her :) We highly recommend Morgan!”


“Dylan did a wonderful job making daily visits to our two cats over ten days. In addition to taking care of their basic needs, she sent cute photos, kept in touch about issues and highlights, played with them a lot, and just really appreciated them. As a result everyone bonded and we felt much better about leaving them for an extended period.”


“Working with Jeremy was like having an extended member of my family take care of my furbabies. I could not believe the attention that was given -- and the hilarious and cheeky messages and photos that I got while away. I was super nervous because we had planned a weeks-long trip BEFORE rescuing a kitten from the street -- and the wee one needed soooo much more attention and love than our adult cat. Jeremy to the rescue!!! We felt so lucky to have found Jeremy.”


“Maureen kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos about how my cat was doing, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She was very concerned with making sure my cat was comfortable because he's a timid guy. I really appreciated her prompt communication.”


“Ricky was awesome with my cat, Leo! He went above and beyond to ensure my cat and my home were well cared for while I was out of the country. I really appreciated his daily notes on Leo and the pictures. My cat can be a little particular about who he likes, and he warmed up to Ricky right away. I’d absolutely love to have him watch my cat again the next time I’m away!”


About: Hi! I’m Sandi, and I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with a family dog, and I had my own wonderful pup for 9 years. My dog had significant medical needs in her senior years, so I’m familiar and comfortable with administering medication and taking extra care around any special needs. I’ve taken care of friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, doing walks and overnight stays. I’m also a volunteer walker for PAWS NY, an organization that connects people with disabilities and financial challenges with volunteer pet care. I’m Red Cross certified in dog first aid. After having hired walkers and sitters for my own dog, I know how overwhelming it can be to leave your pup in the care of someone new. I can do first meetings before we do any walks, and am happy to provide extra references. I also can send daily walk reports after each walk if requested. I am allergic to cats so unfortunately can only do overnight stays in homes without cats. I’m a freelance designer and work remotely, so my days and evenings are very flexible! I work around walks and pet sitting, so I’m able to accommodate most schedules. I usually do any overnight stays at the client’s home so your dog can be in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely.

“Hannah has looked after our cat multiple times. She is super reliable and communicative. We really appreciate how she takes the time to play with our cat. They’re very good friends by now i think!!”
