“Rebecca was absolutely incredible! She took such great care of my cat Champ. I would HIGHLY recommend her. I will most definitely be reaching back out to her again!”

“Katherine is an amazing sitter who will not only make sure your pet gets the same level of care, love, and attention that an owner typically provides, but also will send you a gallery of perfect pet photos! She’s a perfect pet sitter, and I highly recommend her!”

“Can’t recommend Francesca highly enough. We have 2 super shy cats who she’s been able to coax out for treats and play time, giving us much-needed peace of mind when we’re away. Francesca is super communicative, follows all directions with care, and sends plenty of photos. A+ cat sitter!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾
“Dong always does a great job with my Bean! I appreciate him and how easy he makes things for us, 10/10, and I look forward to re-booking him again for our next vacation :-)”


“Jessica has been a life saver for me and my husband. We've had last minute requests twice and she has answered every time, been extremely helpful, communication, and most of all, kind! We are thankful for her and would utilize her service anytime. Definitely reccomend!”

“Isaac is amazing!! I had a wonderful experience working with him. He excels in communication, always providing updates in a very detailed way that puts me at ease. Even though I wasn't home with Jake (my Bernedoodle), Isaac was able to make me follow the whole situation due to his articulation - and this is very helpful knowing how nervous Jake's personality is. With Isaac's patience and experience, he was able to earn Jake's trust even though Jake is particularly very nervous toward males. Isaac followed all the instructions I provided and he was very responsive the whole time. I highly recommend Isaac to help with your pups. Thank you so much, Isaac. Jake and I are very pleased with your help!!”


“Andrew was so attentive and caring with Greyson! I am so relieved that I was able to find another sitter that I’d feel comfortable leaving Greyson with. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”

“Christina was wonderful! We were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our cat was in good hands while we were away. Christina provided daily photos, videos, and texts about how our cat was doing and what they did each day for playtime. Christina showed genuine love and care for our pet and we will definitely be calling her again when we need a pet sitter. We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Christina! 💖”

“Delphi was excellent with Buster! She is always very responsive, and we can tell from her updates that she is very attentive to his needs. This was our longest trip without him, and it was very reassuring that Delphi was there taking care of him every day. We would have her back taking care of him again any time she is available!”

“Kaitlin was great! Came on time, was very communicative, and we could see how much our kitty loved her through the pictures. She even helped us resolve a fiasco with our automatic pet feeder. Will definitely rebook!”

“My cat has quite a few special needs, and Kobi did a great job making sure he was well taken care of! She sent pictures everyday either playing or hanging out with my cat which was awesome. I highly recommend her for all your cat sitting needs!”

“Kate came over and took great care of our two cats twice a day during our vacation. She gave us great pictures and updates, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our son’s wedding. I highly recommend Kate & Alex for your pet sitting needs.”

“Abbey did an amazing job with my cat! She was very attentive, communicative, and sent plenty of pictures. I felt a lot more at-ease leaving my girl alone for the first time knowing she was in good hands!”

“Alyssa is a great cat sitter!! Followed all instructions, provided plenty of photos, and was super easy to communicate with. She helped provide us with peace of mind knowing our babies were taken care of while out of town. Highly recommend Alyssa for cat care!!!”

“Alekhandra did a great job! She was very responsive and quick, and did a great job with our dogs making them feel comfortable, had everything they need, and let them out and played with them. We will be using her again!”

“Anthony was attentive, responsive, engaging, caring, and diligent in his care of my cat Norton. I’ll definitely be working with Anthony again and am thankful for his detail-oriented and caring approach!”

“They were amazing! I have two dogs who never received care outside of boarding and they were communicative, transparent, and provided top care for my dogs. Would leave more stars if I could.”

We’ve booked Jessica three times now, and she has been amazing every single time! She takes such great care of our cats, making sure they’re fed, checked on, and happy while we’re away. She always keeps us updated with photos and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and our cats are always well cared for when she’s with them. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you again, Jessica!

Karina was wonderful- we booked last minute because of a trip and I was worried about having someone I didn’t know check in on my cats, but she was so immediately communicative and attentive that I was able to relax and enjoy the whole time I was gone. Her vibes are immaculate, my normally shy cat warmed up to her right away! I can tell she cares, the summaries of visits that she sent sounded just like my furry gremlins. 10/10 would recommend

We had a wonderful experience with Joyce! We were away for 2 weeks, and she came by every day to feed our two cats. She also spent time playing with one of them, while our other cat is very shy and not very social. Joyce respected each cat’s personality and made sure they were both well cared for. She sent us daily photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cats were happy and in great hands. Joyce did an amazing job, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter!

Kobi was phenomenal with my Benito! He took to her right away in their meet and greet and my worries instantly disappeared. I booked her for 30min morning drop in visits for 2 weeks and she went above and beyond taking great care of my baby. She even spent extra time with him on days when she could. She sent daily updates and pictures. I came back to clean apartment and a well taken care of kitty. Will definitely rebook her in the future if she’s available! ☺️

Sydney showed great care for Princess Fluffy, and I am extremely appreciative!! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt very comfortable letting Sydney take care of my cat as she was extremely friendly and even spoke to Princess in Spanish like I asked ❤️ I would recommend Sydney to anyone in the Jersey City area!!!

Lin truly went above and beyond for us, including staying longer on the 4th of July to help keep our kitties company through the fireworks. Lin is extremely thorough, very communicative and provides a very detailed rover report with lots of photos! As someone who gets anxious being away from our cats, she put my mind at ease because I knew they were in good hands. I am so happy to have found Lin and will absolutely rebook!

Katia was fantastic with our cat and dog. Shes friendly, followed our instructions, and was always super prompt and communicative - even helping us bring in a package. It’s so nice to find a reliable sitter in our new neighborhood. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her - thanks again Katia ☺️

Lisa was absolutely amazing! She watched our two cats and took such great care of them while we were away. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and loved. She was reliable, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter!
