“Chloe is amazing! My super shy cat warmed up to her and was waiting for her at the door by the end of her visit. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She provided peace of mind and was thorough with her photos and communication. Thank you Chloe!!”


“Peter was excellent with our cat Vader! He was prompt, communicative, and above and beyond helpful. We were very appreciative of his help with our cat while we were on vacation. He gave us piece of mind when he would visit and we can’t thank him enough!”



“I cannot recommend Cathy B. highly enough- dependable, affectionate with my beloved pet- gave me peace of mind to take a brief break with no worries. You can't go wrong here!”


“This is the second time Anne has cared for my cats and she is wonderful. Communication is always quick and reliable, and she goes out of her way to make sure my cats are well cared for. Highly recommended!”


“Lisbeth was amazing! Was super attentive and caring with my cats. Even offering to stop back in later in the day when my one cat chose not to eat. Will absolutely be using Lisbeth going forward whenever I need someone to stop in and check on my cats!”


About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.

About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.

“Maia took great care of my cat. My cat Miko is 15 years old and has a very nervous personality, so I was nervous about leaving Miko during my vacation, but I was able to be on vacation with peace of mind that Miko was being lovingly cared for. Maia reported her condition in detail every day and sent me lots of pictures. I would definitely leave my cat with Maia again in the future. She is the best sitter - kind, reliable and responsible! Thank you so much for everthing!”


“Lindsey provided excellent care for both Margo and Momo while I was away. She kept me updated at every visit and took ample photos. I would not hesitate to reach out to her for any future pet sitting needs.”

My availability at the moment is quite flexible aside from those two days of the week! I do have a stellar Airbnb profile as a guest haha. All jokes aside, I really do respect my environments especially when they’re not mine. I understand the importance of a home and understand it is a privilege to be invited into that space for whatever length of time. I always strive to leave things the same, if not better, than how they were found.

About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.

Let them run around in a spacious fenced yard (treated for ticks and mosquitoes) with lots of toys with our own 2 mini-aussidoodles. Grew up with pets and they are always part of the family.

My skills with animals go across the board being that I have owned and cared for many different types of animals! I understand how nerve racking it is trusting someone with your furry friend, which is why I treat every animal like they’re my own to ensure trust!

Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”

She has cared for our pets for several years and provides the love and attention to ensure you pet is well taken care of while their parents are away.”


Yvette B.Star Sitter

“Yvette is excellent and recommend her to all. We won’t hesitate to use her again”


Amber B.
“I have known Amber for over 3 years. In that time I have known her to to be an excellent caregiver of her own and family owned pets. She has owned a bunny for about 2 years and has put so much time, effort, and money into caring for him. Amber is always on top of feeding him, making sure he always has water, replenishing the sticks he gnaws on, having toys for him so he is never bored, and cleaning up after him. But what separates Amber from other pet moms is that her ability to detect even the slightest change in behavior is unmatched. She has been able to ensure her bunny receives veterinarian care when necessary by picking up on the little changes in behavior as bunnies tend to hide their ailments as prey-animals. Amber has grown up with pets her whole life and has always made their health and happiness their priority. She is detail oriented and is always on the ball. I would trust any of my pets and/or future pets in her care hands down, no questions asked.”
