Cat Sitting in East Rutherford

“Melissa took great care of my cat. She is a great communicator and is always on time for her drop-in visits. This is my second time requesting her services and I would definitely rebook her again.”

“Annie is awesome!! Our two 16-year kitties stayed with her for 5 days and they were made to feel completely at home :) They enjoyed lots of love and attention, we got updates and pictures, communication was excellent, drop off and pick up was easy...we highly recommend!! We would definitely love to have Annie watch our kitties again!!!”

“Kourtney did such a great job taking care of our 2 cats! She was very communicative with daily updates and the cats liked her a lot. Such a nice feeling to come home to happy & healthy pets! We will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Kourtney!”

“Nivia has been great. My dog loves her. For my dog to be such a high energy dog, I worry about a sitter being able to handle her but Nivia seems to handle it well which is very comforting as an owner.”

“I trust her wholehearly with my senior dog who has specific needs. I'm so beyond happy to have found Heather. Right off the bat she gives off this vibe that she's truly going to take care of your fur baby really well. And I really appreciate how I always get pictures and updates about my little one:)”

“We had 2 extra cats in the house over the Christmas holiday, and Anastasia & Ivan took care of all 4! One evening, they spent over an hour here because a cat who needed medicine was hiding from them. I am impressed with their dedication and the fact that they found her in the end!”

“Paola has been a wonderful cat-sitter for our cat Mocha for two different trips. She is caring, sweet with our cat, and has been great to communicate with. We highly recommend Paola!”

“Michael was amazing. On short notice came to meet us and took great care of our babies while we were away. Would absolutely be returning to Michael when needed.”

“Dali was great with our 2 cats! Fed them, played with them, emptied both litter boxes, and sent a bunch of pictures which as pet parents we all know we love! We even sent her to the wrong house because I forgot to update my contact info after we moved and she was great about my mistake. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“Taylor is extremely reliable and punctual. She's handles any challenges with patience and commitment. She administers insulin injections to a sometimes challenging feline.”

“Victoria has taken care of our three cats so well when we were away for vacation. Each cat was given so much love!!! Highly recommend her if you need a cat sitter.”

“My sister and I could not be happier with the exceptional care provided by Tez! Her attention to detail is truly remarkable, from ensuring my cats are happy to making sure their food bowls are always washed and clean. I'm also consistently impressed by her responsiveness; she promptly addresses any concerns or inquiries, providing me with peace of mind while I'm away. Tez has cat-sat for us many times, and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable catsitter!”

“Yong and I have a 2.5 year old orange cat that we rescued back in 2021. He's always been an avid animal lover regardless of types or breeds. He grew up with Jindo, a family dog for almost 13 years. He regularly takes care of our neighbor's two cats whenever they go on vacations. I can confirm in first hand that he's a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”

“Al is amazing!”

“Steph is an absolute gem! I’m so glad I booked her to watch my two cats while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, went above and beyond by supplying treats and toys, and followed instructions perfectly. I will 100% be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, responsible, and communicative to watch their pets!”

“Mandi is the BEST!!! She took care of our 3 cats the best way!!! They love her ❤️!!! … We highly recommend her!!! ?… We found everything perfect!!!”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of our 3 kitties! She was patient and attentive and was able to effectively administer medicine to one of our cats. She went above and beyond for their care. I would definitely re-book!”

“Tiffani has been an incredible caregiver for Peanut. Her devotion and expertise have made a profound impact on his well-being. Every week, Tiffani goes above and beyond to ensure Peanut receives the best care possible. Not only does she keep his environment clean and cozy, but she also surprises me with her unique approach. Tiffani's dog training background has proven invaluable in helping Peanut. She uses clicker training and treats to reinforce good behavior and make playtime more engaging which is not something I thought was even possible with a cat, I am truly amazed. I'm truly grateful for her dedication and the positive influence she has had on Peanut's life as well as the lessons I've taken away to use as tools for Peanut in the future, thank you Tiffani!”

“Genesis is amazing with my 4 large dogs (rott/pit mixes). She handles them with confidence and genuinely loves my dogs. She is reliable, trustworthy, professional and will follow instructions. She even sends me videos and pictures while I'm away! She is mindful of all their different specfic needs and wont hesitate to alert me if there is any issue. All my dogs love her and barely notice I'm gone.”
