“Johanna is an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of my tabby cat, Ruby, while I was on vacation, and treated her with patience, care, and kindness. She followed all of my instructions and sent me prompt photos and updates. As evidence of Johanna’s attentiveness, Ruby, who is usually nervous around new people, has warmed up to her and views her as a trusted caretaker. Thank you so much for all your help!”
“Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!”
“Joyce is beyond perfect for our big fur baby. She has a very comfortable approach and great personality with our Cole. Cole well cared for with Joyce. I would recommend her services at any time.”
“Steven was so great! I loved that he was so attentive and kept me updated on my cats often. He always sent photos, and kept me updated on things I was nervous about. He also kept my space very tidy which was a plus and not expected at all. Highly recommend Steven for your pets care, and I will continue to book with him in the future!”
“Tara was terrific! Super fast communication, on-time, followed instructions down to every last detail, and was very attentive to our pup. I’d recommend Tara to anybody, and we will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Clare did a wonderful job sitting my cat, Harlow! She took great photos and wrote really thoughtful report cards for each visit. I would definitely book her again.”
“Noga stepped in at the last minute to check in on and feed Vesper while I was dealing with an emergency, very grateful to her for that. She sent great pics of Vesper and gave me a detailed report card after!”
“Enbar was fantastic with my cat Gigi! She was super communicative prior to sitting, even stopping by to get a sense of Gigi’s routine and the space. While I was away she provided daily updates and shared so many cute pictures/videos of Gigi. Enbar also took the time to play and give Gigi tons of cuddles during feedings. Upon my return Gigi was so relaxed, a true sign of the great care she had. Would fully recommend Enbar as a responsible, reliable, communicative sitter!”
About: I’ve always dreamed of having a dog of my own, but due to different circumstances, it hasn’t been possible—yet! Throughout my life, I’ve been lucky to spend time with many animals. I cared for horses for several years, volunteered at dog shelters in Russia, and loved spending time with my friends’ pets. Right now, I don’t have a pet of my own, so I’m ready to share all my love and care with your furry friend. I’d be happy not just to walk your dog, but also to play and even go for a run together! Currently accepting requests within 5-10 minute walk from the 116th St. B/C train station. I’m usually available from 11 AM to 3 PM on weekdays ( I can feed your dog, refresh water, brush them, give belly rubs, play, give meds if needed, and make sure they feel safe and loved.
“Dennis was an incredible catsitter with very detailed reports of how Sunny was doing. She seemed happy when I came home! Five stars, will definitely be asking him back!”
“I really can’t say enough good things about Meredith. She took such great care of our cat and was flexible and communicative throughout our time away. One of the best cat sitter experiences we’ve had!”
“Denise was amazing!! She was so thoughtful about our cats’ different personalities and needs, and she was extremely communicative! We loved and appreciated all of the photos from each of her visits, and we’re sure our cats can’t wait to see her again soon!”
“Adolfo was once again great with my senior cat, Hazel! He followed her complicated medication schedule, giving her pills, a gel, and a topical cream. He’s very sweet with her and had great communication during my vacation.”
“Jaixa has done it again!! I had a last minute international trip and she was so accommodating and was able to check up on Fuji regardless. She was reliably updating me, sending me pics daily, and was so gracious through a small nipping incident when Fuji got excited (sorry again!). I returned to a happy healthy clean kitty who I'm pretty sure did not miss me at all and wonders where Jaixa went :D You're the best Jaixa!”
“Dina was really great with my girl Tiger. Very attentive and made sure she had everything she needed while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Iris was caring, responsible, detail oriented, and great at communicating every important detail throughout her time taking care of my cat over the weekend. Thank you Iris!!”
“We’ve had Mary take care of our cats multiple times now, and honestly, we can’t imagine leaving them with anyone else. The simple fact that we don’t have to worry about them while we’re away makes every trip ten times better. Mary goes above and beyond—she leaves everything tidy, sends the sweetest updates, and is just such a calm, trustworthy presence. The only thing that makes me anxious about her now is the thought of planning a trip, and she’s not available.”
