“Gwinevere took very good care of my 10 yr old cat Tina! I am always nervous about new cat sitters because Tina needs medications. Gwinevere was great with her, clearly knowledgeable about cats, and provided Tina all the care and play she needed. Tina was very happy and relaxed when I got home!”
“TJ is great: Super attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about my kitties. There’s nothing like knowing someone reliable and sincere is nearby to help care for my pets while I’m away.”
“Jaixa has done it again!! I had a last minute international trip and she was so accommodating and was able to check up on Fuji regardless. She was reliably updating me, sending me pics daily, and was so gracious through a small nipping incident when Fuji got excited (sorry again!). I returned to a happy healthy clean kitty who I'm pretty sure did not miss me at all and wonders where Jaixa went :D You're the best Jaixa!”
“Rachel was super easy to communicate with and responsive. She constantly updated me with photos and was able to accommodate for me last minute. I am super grateful to have found her profile on here and I will definitely book again with her in the future”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I have been involved in intensive care for my animals when they needed it, including administering shots, and so am very comfortable getting up close and comfortable with your pet if need be. I have been dogwalking and dogsitting in NYC for four years, but also have a dog back home who I adore. I would love to be able to share my love with your pet! I also help take care of two cats and have been trusted to cat sit on various occasions. I am currently low-level employed, so my schedule changes day to day. I am currently available most days and times, just let me know what you need! I am not currently able to take pets into my own home, but I am willing and able to help you in your own home if need be. I have experience pet sitting and was able to both be an un-intrusive presence and contact owners when their pet’s needs were increasing.
