Lisbeth stayed in our home with our 6 month old kitten, Nala, for a week whilst we were on vacation and took great care of her! She was diligent and thorough in asking about Nala's routine, kept us updated throughout the week on her wellbeing and it was clear that Nala was very relaxed and happy with her. We will definitely be asking Lisbeth for any future catsitting needs 🙂

About: Although I am new to this app, I have years of pet care experience under my belt. Throughout my childhood I was able to grow my love and knowledge of many animals. I had cats dogs and small mammals like hamsters and bunnies growing up I got to help care for and learn about. During my teen years I helped family friends and neighbors with their pets including cats, dogs and even goats and chickens. With a solid foundation in feeding, walking, grooming, medicating, and playing with animals, I look forward to meeting and helping out many more pets throughout my twenties and beyond. I’m currently looking to go back to school, growing my expertise as a pet walker and sitter, and taking care of my own pets. I’ll have the free time and consistent schedule to check in and provide care for local pets as well. Safety trust and environment are a must when it comes to pet care. Environmentally I have my eyes peeled for hazards that could harm or cause illness in an animal, and remove those things to where they can’t be a problem. In building trust, I start every interaction with pet psychology in mind. I let them approach me with all of their senses first. Once they become interested in getting to know me, I can continue to show them I’m a safe person through gentle and secure actions on my part like walking carefully and taking softly.

Sarah was on time and followed Jimmy’s feeding instructions perfectly. She was very attentive and spent some time with him during her visits. She sent us photos of her visit which made us very secure and grateful. We will definitely be using her again the next time Jimmy needs a sitter.

About: I have loved and taken care of pets since I was young. They're family and they are treated as so with me. I have always aimed to give them the best life outcome and providing enrichment toys and obstacles. Teaching them tricks and doing puzzles for mental stimulation. I work most days from home and would love the company from your fur babies and also to help me be more active! I also enjoy hiking if your pup likes it too! There is a yard in my home, making sure they're comfortable and not anxious at all. Making sure there are toys and treats. Making sure the home is doggy proofed for their safety!

About: ** please note I work a hybrid schedule - 1 week in office l, 1 week from home, alternating. I’m more flexible with my schedule the weeks I work from home.*** Hello! I’d love to learn more about your pet care needs. I’m truly passionate about animals and understand firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I grew up around many different animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and even a turtle! Currently, I share my home with the sweetest 5-year-old cat. I have experience caring for pets with temperament challenges, special needs, medical conditions, and those who simply need a little extra patience and love. I completely understand that every pet is unique, and no request is ever “too much.” I’m happy to follow detailed routines and provide personalized care. I’m available all day on weekends in Bergen County, NJ, and I work a hybrid schedule during the week, which allows for flexibility. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my day around feeding schedules, check-ins, playtime, and litter box care to make sure pets receive consistent, high-quality care. On weekends, I’m fully available and able to provide extra time, attention, and flexibility. I prioritize maintaining each cat’s normal routine to minimize stress, and I’m always happy to accommodate specific timing requests when possible. I provide attentive, in-home care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety. In my clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I always move at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I keep the home clean and secure, make sure pets have fresh food and water, and spend quality time providing companionship, enrichment, and affection based on each pet’s preferences. I’m observant of behavior changes and will communicate promptly if anything seems off.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember, so caring for them is second nature to me. I also spent a few months living with my boyfriend and his cat, which gave me hands-on experience with cat routines and their unique personalities. Whether it’s a dog who loves walks or a cat who prefers quiet company, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part time (around 30 hours a week) but I have a lot of flexibility. I can usually shift my schedule around to make sure your pet(s) get the care they need! Keeping your pet safe and happy is my top priority! Whether it’s a walk, stopping in, or a longer stay, I will be sure to follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and stick to your pets’ usual routine. I promise to treat your home with care and make sure everything is clean and comfortable, so your pet(s) can relax, play, and enjoy their day while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life but i’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I’m well trained at taking care of multiple extra large dogs. I only work part time and go to school twice a week so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and take good care of them. I don’t have room to care for your pet inside my home but i’m happy to come to yours to take care of your babies

Having just moved, we were scrambling to find a sitter for our senior cat during the holidays. We were incredibly lucky to have found Joe! Joe went above and beyond to provide comfort, compassion and safety for our pet. He was great with communication, providing updates and photos. Joe also pointed out some things in our new home that we hadn’t noticed and could have potentially been dangerous for our cat. Joe was kind enough to keep our home orderly and clean from the inevitable mess that our furry friends can sometimes make. Thank you Joe for taking such good care of our pet and our home. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the area!

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!
