Pet care experience

We grew up with dogs & cats!

Hi there, I’m Kate! I grew up in an animal-loving family with 3 dogs 🐶, 6 cats 🐱, a turtle 🐢, and a school of goldfish 🐠☀. My husband Alex and I now live in Jersey City with our cat, Chance, who’s great with other cats 🥰. We genuinely love spending time with animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. We offer dog walking 🦮, drop-in visits 🏠, and cat boarding 🐱. For dog walking and drop-in visits, we make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. For cat boarding 🏡, we provide a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where your cat can feel safe and relaxed. We make sure they’re well-fed, hydrated, and given plenty of attention, while also respecting their space and personality.

Kate and Alex took amazing care of my babies (2 kitties) while I was out for a long trip. They are trustworthy, great communicators, caring and loving with both cats, and my shy cat loves them!!! This is my second time leaving my babies in their care and they are wonderful. Couldn't recommend more.

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.

It was great to have Alex take care of my cat. He pays attention to detail and replies right away. I’m a repeat customer.
