“I appreciate having been able to book Alice to watch my furbaby Wednesday while I was away for the weekend. I was nervous as I know my cat can be skiddish and tends to hiss and swat at people she doesn’t know. Alice was willing to meet Wednesday prior to the actual booking. She is sweet, caring and patient and kind. I appreciate her style of communication with us throughout the process and the feedback and suggestions on how to handle certain situations. I truly am grateful for her knowledge with cats (or all pets) and I hope to implement some of her tips in my day to day interactions w my cat. Alice is great and I hope to book her again! Thank you so much ❤️”
About: I grew up with my grandfather breeding German Sheppards and my family having 4 turtles, 2 cats, 2 hamsters and a dog. I love all animals. I work from home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I am usually home most weekends. I am almost always available if you reach out to me I can make it work with my schedule. I have tons of experience with cats and dogs, I was trained at Tri Borough Animal Welfare to take care of the pitties and kitties for their shelter program.
“Sara was perfect, she was great with both of our cats and was very responsible and always showed up on time. I love especially that she was able to spend time with the cats getting to know them and gaining their trust. Frankie loved her and We will def book with Sara in the future and 100% recommend her if anybody is looking for a trusting pet owner! Thank you a ton Sara!”
“Hansa will make a wonderful addition to my fur baby care team!! She ia a thoughtful and caring person and i’m lucky to have found someone so competent and enthusiastic. Hansa is willing to accommodate our schedules as best as she can, and i really appreciate that so much!”
About: I've taken care of pets for the majority of my life. From caring for my own furry and feathered family members to watching pets for my neighbors and friends and caring for the facility dogs at my job, I have a second heart for animals. Experience with puppies, elders, high energy working dogs, and dogs with trauma. I'm currently studying for my boards exam to be a physical therapist and working part time with a pretty flexible schedule. Last minute requests available! Care instructions for your pet will be followed as closely as possible. I'll care for you pet and your home as I would my own. Your pet's safety and comfort are my first priority.
“Alexa was great! She was incredibly responsive and took good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Elizabeth was super responsive and always answered my sometimes ridiculous questions. She didn’t make me feel like I was being a paranoid Pet parent even though I know I was. She even got my old man grumpy cat to play a little bit. I would give her six stars if I could.”
“Joe took great care of Princess while I was away. From the start, he was professional, caring and attentive to every detail. He provided daily updates with photos and little notes, which gave me such peace of mind. My cat’s feeding schedule was perfectly followed, litter boxes were spotless and Princess seemed happy and relaxed when I got home. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a truly trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. He is a gem, and I’ll definitely be calling him again!”
“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sam. He took excellent care of my two cats for nine days. Sam provided detailed notes and photos of my cats after every visit (which was twice daily). Whenever I had a question he responded promptly. I extended the length of my vacation and Sam accommodated the change without hesitation. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, look no further than Sam. He is outstanding.”
“I’m sure Harley looked forward to her walks and time spent with Lyzbeth! Lyzbeth was friendly, professional, and really great with our dog. I’d love to hire her in the future again!”
“Erica watched our bengal cat for a week, and she was fantastic! Communicated with pictures and videos throughout the stay (and great ones!), lots of play time and attention and a great apartment. He loved his time there! Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Anytime we travel I make sure to book care for our cat with Andrew. He is flexible, always reliable and answers quickly to any questions we have. I love the pictures and updates he sends us to let us know what is going on. I look forward to continuing to book with him whenever we need it!”

Theresa was amazing with our high maintenance trio of cats! She took great care of them for a week and was easy to get in touch with. She was on time and followed all instructions, and she left our house clean with all the mess 3 cats can leave! We highly recommend booking with Theresa. Thank you for the wonderful care you provided our girls, and the peace of mind you gave us while we were away!
