“Shelli was consistent, reliable, communicative and a problem solver. (i.e. I had forgotten to leave her name with the front gate). Based on the daily videos and Chianti's contented purrs when I returned I know she was well cared. Shelli also watered my plants and helped pick up the slack on a small forgotten task. Definitely a rehire!”
About: I’m Cait! I live in Belmont Shore, where there’s a 60/40 chance a stroller is carrying a fur baby vs a human baby. Contact me for your last-minute needs! I am a remote worker with a flex schedule offering dog walks, drop ins, and daytime house sitting. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, shapes, and personalities since I was a little girl. The dog in the photo is Archie, my favorite nephew and frequent guest. I hope to meet your bestie soon! Reach out for your last minute requests! I’m a fully remote worker with a flex schedule so getting to and from your pet’s abode will be as breezy as the bike path. Frequent potty breaks and play time is 100% welcome. I love to get my steps in so let’s take your pal out for a walk or run!
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”
“This is not our first time using Michelle's catsitting services and, just like last time, she has been phenomenal! If there was an option to give 5,000 stars, she would deserve it. Our cats were wellfed, played with, and treated with such love and respect. Her photos of them were top notch as well. Michelle even helped keep the living area clean and tidy. She's super friendly and was very communicative about how the cats were doing. She is the literal best sitter you could ever have for your pets. 1000000000/10 would recommend her to anyone who loves and cares for their fur babies. :)”
“Christina is great! I’ve booked her several times and she is communicative, trustworthy, and flexible. Always puts me at ease when we’re away and the kitties and tortoise enjoy her company. Highly recommend.”
“Lucia was wonderful with my puppy! She eased all my worries and kept me constantly updated. I will only be booking her for all future services! 10/10 Service 🤩”
“Elise was absolutely the best! Not only was she caring with my dog, but she also kept me informed during her drop-in visits. I could tell Lur felt comfortable with her based on the pictures she sent me throughout the day. She even left some thoughtful gifts. I will definitely hire her again to take care of my dog. Thank you!”
“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”
“Literally couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my boy Jaxx. She was kind and patient and he warmed up to her instantly. So appreciative of her communication and cutesy pictures she took of him! Followed all obsessive rules without a fluke! Shes the best! P.s Jaxx misses you!”
“Ah, thank you Mary! Sounds like he will do just fine with you!! He must like you, it hard sometimes for him to warm up and play with his feather stick! He will be awesome with you for the next visits!!! Thank you!!”
“Gina was amazing. She was very sweet, communicative and flexible when I needed to adjust check in dates and times. My cat was fed and happy, I appreciate all your help. Thank you”
About: I'm around dogs all the time. I used to work in a dog-friendly office so I got to play with them and pet them during business hours (which I admittedly did quite a bit of) and I am a dog owner so I get to play with them and pet them when I am home. I also watch my sisters' dogs when they go out of town. Long story short, I have lots of experience raising, caring for, and loving dogs and would treat yours like I would my own. I was recently laid off so am home and available essentially 24/7 right now and would love to be able to help out with your pet care needs, whatever they may be. I have one dog of my own that has full reign of my condo. I do not have a yard, but I take him out for walks/potty breaks at least 3 times a day. I can walk your dog as often as you like and if I’m house sitting I will respect whatever your rules are (ie if no pets allowed on the couch while you’re there then same when I’m there) I can walk your dog however frequently and for whatever amount of time you prefer. I usually take my own dog on one long walk (about 1 hr to 1.5 hrs) a day and then a shorter one (about 20-30 min) so that’s the amount of time I’m used to spending on walks. I am also available to dog sit at your home or simply check in on your pet as well. I can even bring my own dog over to hang out with your pets (with your expressed permission up front of course).
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have taken care of them numerous times for my family members and friends! I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages! 🐾 I’m currently still in school until June so my availability will be limited but after that I’m open for everyday of the week. I’ll check in with you about any unique tendencies concerning your pet(s) and make sure to follow them as I’m working. When I am done I’ll make sure no mess is left behind, leaving your home upright!
“Bridget was great with the daily communication. She provided updates and also sent pictures. My pet seemed very happy when I returned and well taken care of. Greatly appreciated!”
“Arya’s first drop in visit with Melissa was a success! Melissa made a great first impression immediately, so leaving her with my fur baby didn’t make me feel so guilty. Her calm and sweet demeanor was exactly what I wanted in a cat sitter. I was pleasantly surprised to receive pictures of Arya looking content on the couch, it was a relief to see her look so relaxed with a new person. I’ll definitely be using Melissa again and was just so pleased I had to give her a shout out. Thank you Melissa!”
“Linde is an amazing pet sitter. My dog had a difficult week and she cleaned up after him multiple times, even stopped by an extra time, and overall went above and beyond. I’m so thankful for her! Highly recommend, your pet will be in great hands!”

Stephanie took care of my cat Levi for three weeks while I was traveling. She is incredibly communicative and flexible, she worked with me to figure out a plan that worked best and was super helpful in the booking process! She definitely puts her clients first. She cared for Levi so well, sending me so many photos of him which was amazing 😻 She played with him so much and I know he felt very loved and safe. I have never been so at ease leaving him and this was the longest time I’ve been gone! Stephanie is an incredible cat sitter and so communicative. I’ll be booking her again when I go out of town next month, and will recommend her the first chance I get!
5-Star Review It was easy to recognize from the start that Lisa is a true animal lover. She was prompt for our meet-and-greet with my cat, Ozzie. Lisa is an excellent listener, very knowledgeable about both cats and dogs, and a natural with animals. Throughout the pet-sitting experience, she provided outstanding communication, regular updates, and wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took the time to work with Ozzie’s schedule and unique personality, making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Lisa completed every request I made and truly went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I couldn’t be happier 🐾💕
Ali was amazing. She cleaned after my wobbly cat as he has many accidents and also cuddles with him as he gets separation anxiety. She was extremely prompt and communicative and you can tell she has a real love of fur babies. I would absolutely book with Ali again!
Kaylee was a joy to have as a cat sitter! It was our first time using a service like this and Kaylee made us feel very comfortable. She even set up a time to meet and greet our kitties ahead of time and get to know how we take care of them! My favorite part was Kaylee sending the daily updates with lots of photos. I looked forward to that time everyday on our trip & it was so reassuring to know that they were happy and having a good time with Kaylee! Thank you so much for taking care of our babies, Kaylee 😊
Jennifer was a fantastic sitter for my animals while I was on an extended vacation. Not only did she provide detailed descriptions for each visit and plenty of very well shot pictures, but she also brought in unexpected deliveries instead of leaving everything on the porch. I will definitely use her again!
