Top rated East Irvington cat sitters
“Took great care of the girls and was very thorough- following all the guidelines and needs of both cats! Both of them were very comfortable with Bella and I could not be more thankful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back in touch the next time we’re out of town.”
“Teresa and Tony are fantastic! After being away for two weeks, we came home to a happy and energetic cat, neatly organized packages, and clean dishes. Highly recommend them!”
“We were so incredibly impressed with Carolina. We travel a lot and always worry about our fur babies when we’re gone. Her thorough summaries and clear care for the animals put us at ease. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“Elena is an excellent sitter and went above and beyond for our cats. She helped us navigate a tricky situation when our dry food feeder unexpectedly ran out while we were away and made sure our cats were taken care of. We hope to hire her again in the future.”
About: My partner and I live in Astoria with our dog Inky! We fostered a dog for 2 months and miss having a 2nd dog around! Currently we don't have time for a full time 2nd dog but would love to go on walks/ board other dogs with our 4 year old Inky. Both Steven and I have fostered dogs individually and together and we understand the priceless feeling of a worry-free boarding experience for dog parents! We feel that caring for other people's pet children is a true honor! I'm working part time and my partner Steven WFH some days. We go to the park most weekend mornings and like to spend the entire day with the dog(s). Whether it is at home snuggling on the couch, or at a dog-friendly coffee shop. We make sure to not leave small items (ex. airpods) laying around, garbage is thrown away, and the apartment is very much baby/dog-proofed in general.
“Craig was amazing! He helped me out tremendously when I needed a dog sitter last minute for my 5 month old puppy. Not only did he provide me with pictures and details about his visits throughout the week, he also taught my puppy patience when it comes to feeding time and other ways to address her nipping. I would highly recommend Craig and would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Andrew took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week ...very responsible ...reliable and gave my cats the attention and care that I give...will definitely use him again!...thanks Andrew!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Marilyn! She was a loving and caring sitter for our cat. Very responsive, and sent great updates every day. To be blunt, my cat makes quite a mess around her litter box, and Marilyn kept it tidy and clean. I highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her again!”
“Andrea was a fantastic cat sitter! She kept me updated with every drop-in, and sent me tons of photos too! She not only made sure that my cat was taken care of, but spent time just hanging out and making her feel loved! I know that my cat was in great hands, and I will be rebooking in the future!”
“Caleigh did an excellent job watching our two cats for the week. She made sure both girls were fed and their litter was properly scooped. She even went above and beyond by fixing some temporary blinds in our apartment which had fallen while we were out of town. She took out the trash as well and was in close communication with us. I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Danae was exceptional! She kept us updated with our cats, and she was flexible when we had to make adjustments to our care plan. Highly recommend!!”
About: Experience with large and small dogs, from rambunctious puppy wrangling to being tackled by big pups. I love them all, and am very good at understanding dog signals. I have no trouble walking strong dogs that like to pull, and I do not get frustrated by dogs. They have feelings, just like us, and I treat them as equals. I have experience with old dogs with physical needs and ailments, and tending to those needs. I had a small dog that was blind and nearly deaf, and I would steer him from danger and help him feel safe and comfortable. I also now have a big dog who was very naughty as a puppy, but I was able to train him patiently and well and now he's a big sweetheart.
“Rene did an excellent job watching my cats and making sure my one shy cat, Majesty, got his insulin. She was attention detailed and made sure they were fed, had water, and the litter was clean. I would highly recommend Rene to watch your pets.”

Erisa S.
“Erisa loves animals more than anyone I know. There is no shortage of dogs she won't stop on the street to pet. Just a few months ago, Erisa fostered a dog (Mishka) for the first time. After just one week of taking care of Mishka, Erisa was able to find her a loving forever home! It was one of the happiest moments I've ever witnessed so it's easy to say that I would absolutely trust Erisa with the care of my pup child!”

East Irvington cat parents share their Rover experiences
I wish I could give Christine 10 stars because that’s what she deserves. My little guys love her and every time I am away I know they are being loved and taken care of. I swear they were almost depressed it was me walking in and not her this time. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their animals.
First time booking with Caleigh, great communication and experience all around. One of our cats is almost by rule very slow to warm up to new people, has spent days under the bed when we have some houseguests, so we were surprised to see Noel out and about getting treats on Caleigh's first visit. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Greeshma enough! From the very beginning, she showed genuine care and attention to detail with my cats. Not only did she follow all my instructions perfectly, but she also went the extra mile to make sure my pets were happy and comfortable. I could tell my cats were in great hands because they were relaxed and content when I got home. If you want a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter who treats your pets like their own, Greeshma is the best choice. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you for such wonderful care!
Maddie took outstanding care of my cat Pumpkin for an entire week. Although Pumpkin is shy around new people, Maddie was patient and took the time to encourage Pumpkin to feel comfortable and play during her drop-in visits. She was also dependable and gave daily updates. I highly recommend Maddie and will be hiring her again in the future as well!
