“Christopher did an amazing job of making sure I didn't have separation anxiety from cat. The daily check ins and photos kept me at peace. His personality is very warm and reassuring which also helps when trying to determine the best fit for your pet. I highly recommend him.”

“Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!”

“I had Xiaoying feed my 2 year old cat Mo for several days while I was on vacation and she was incredible! She went above and beyond, checking and cleaning her litter box, bringing toys, and spending lots of quality time with her. Her reports were always incredibly detailed and included lots of pictures. She was quick to respond and made the whole booking process super easy. I can't recommend her enough!”


“Our cat was thrilled to see Nancy again! She clearly had the best time. Nancy went above and beyond, helping us to keep the apartment cool when the weather suddenly changed. She is extremely dependable and responsible!”

“Bianca was amazing with Cocoa. You can really tell that she loves animals and I know that Cocoa appreciated all of her visits. I loved how caring she was and how much attention she paid towards Cocoa”

“Alissa was absolutely fantastic, once again! Very clear communication, extremely dependable. And our cat, Moon, loves to play with her and is very affectionate with her!”

“Vanessa was sweet and consistent in taking care of my kitty while I was gone. She communicated throughout the entire process and before, to coordinate key exchanges and meet and greets. I am grateful for how much she played with and hung out with my cat while I was gone :)”

“Paul is enthusiastic and considerate pet sitter! He really got along with my shy cat and sent me thoughtful messages about how he was doing. I also really appreciated him being flexible with his schedule to help out. Definitely recommend Paul!”

About: I grew up in somewhat of a menagerie in south Florida where we had lots of property and animals like 5 Akitas, a ring tailed lemur, a kinkajou, 2 house cats and 2 big cats (lynx & bobcat). I am no stranger to rolling up my sleeves at home or for my clients. I've cared for pets internationally in Morocco and domestically in NYC. As a natural caregiver and as a clinical social worker I have the highest standards when it comes to those in my charge. I currently work remotely on a part time basis as a recruiter and a caregiver for my grandmother. We have a full house with support coming from many directions and I am looking for a way to make a little extra cash while spending time with animals. My grandmother and husband would prefer not to have a permanent pet, so this is a great compromise. As a clinical social worker I take my work with humans and pets very seriously. It's a mission and I took an oath as an MSW graduate to do my best for all in my charge. My home is in a quiet residential neighborhood in Jackson Heights near a dog park. My home is secure, comes with a backyard and is very clean. Nothing would please me more than to have a furry guest from time to time.
“Katherine did an awesome job with my 15 year old kitty Cleo. She got her to play, and kiss and show her belly. Kathy left everything clean and tidy and left me a sweet ornament and pictures of my kitty. Thank you!!!!”

I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it.

About: As a pre-vet student with lifelong experience caring for animals, I bring both knowledge and genuine love to every pet I meet. I’ve cared for dogs, birds, hamsters, and my own cat, Aura, and I focus on making each pet whether shy, or curious feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I integrate pet care into my daily life by feeding, walking, and playing with pets consistently. I ensure they get attention, exercise, and companionship on a routine schedule. I also monitor their health and adjust care based on their needs, so they feel safe and loved throughout the week. Im currently looking to focus on a job centered in pet care. I have an apartment with one indoor kitty who is immensely loved. She has multiple cozy spots, toys, and cat trees, and I care for her like she’s my pride and joy. Once I move to a bigger place, I hope to adopt or foster more cats. For any service I provide, I offer extreme love and attention as if the animal were my own. I believe all animals deserve joy and care, and I strive to provide the best possible environment for their happiness and safety.

I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.
“This was our second time with Alejandra, and our cat continues to love her at least 10x as much as he does any of us. He’s incredibly happy and cuddly in the many photos and video she sends after every single visit, and the long and very detailed paragraph she writes each time is far more than our kid’s daycare ever did. I basically want to plan all future trips around her availability.”

Donna is the absolute best. She somehow did the impossible and now my kitty waits for her by the door. Our cat typically only likes my husband and I. Donna is truly the pet whisperer. She’s also such a delight. We are so grateful to have Donna as our cat sitter.

Xiaoying was so great! She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat needs medication every other day and regular facial cleaning, and she handled everything perfectly. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my cat’s well-being. I was especially impressed by how clean and organized everything was when I returned. She went above and beyond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.

Paula was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she took such good care of our babies. We have two cats that she visited and fed every morning while we were on vacation . She was really responsive, responsible, friendly , loving and kind . I got videos and photos everyday along with updates . She was a blessing . I was totally at ease knowing she was caring for our boys . I highly recommend her !
Laura is very attentive and took great care of my cat, Bunny! Bunny had some mild diarrhea right before we left for our trip, but thanks to Laura’s attentive care, she was back to her healthy self in no time. She also kept me updated and took lots of pics which I really appreciated. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Erin’s been so great checking in on Ronnie throughout the spring. She’s flexible with my work schedule and super communicative. I love seeing the pictures after each visit and I know Ronnie is in great hands while I’m gone. Overall, she made my move to the NYC so much less stressful knowing that Ronnie was getting so much love when Erin stopped by:)

Jennifer was fantastic—even our most bashful cat, who had to be allowed to eat in the bedroom on her first day, was showing up to greet Jen at the front door by the end of her gig. We got plenty of photos from each session, and they were happy and full of energy when I finally came home. I would definitely ask her to take care of our cats again!

Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!
