Your Go To Experienced Cat Sitter!
⚠️ DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, I AM ONLY ABLE TO BOARD CATS FROM SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER ⚠️ ‼️ PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST‼️ Your pet will be watched by both my girlfriend and I. We will be watching them almost 24/7 unless we go out for food that does not allow pets. I sometime do have emergency remote business meetings. We also only used to taking care of healthy pets! This means that pets in my care should: 1. Be okay with staying home alone for up to 2 hours. 2. Be okay with 3 walks a day and one before bed. 3. Be house trained. 4. Not be on medication. 5. Would sometimes be picked up or dropped off by my girlfriend. ——————————————————————— Caring for dogs has never been a hobby for us - it has always been a lifelong responsibility. We provide calm, structured, home-based care and adjust our routine to match each pet’s personality and each owner's preferences. Every pet is different, and we respect their individual pace, habits, and comfort level. We will provide photos updates everyday so you can have a peace of mind that your pet is being treated the best! We take dogs out three times a day for calm dog park walks (about 30 minutes each). When caring for multiple dogs, outdoor time is provided through safe, supervised walks. We maintain a home-centered lifestyle and provide full-time supervision in a clean, stable, and loving environment. Our focus is safety, emotional stability, and consistent routine rather than chaotic, high-energy boarding.

Ratings and reviews
Fantastic sitter, very caring and responsive. We received photos and comments about the pets regularly; that helped ease our minds that they are in good loving hands. Hope Rubin is available next time we travel!
Rubin took such great care of Cookie! He sent me lots of happy photos :) I’m usually a little anxious about leaving my dog, but he made me feel very comfortable, and I knew she was in good hands. I’d definitely book with him again and recommend him to my friends!
Very straightforward communication and gave updates!
They were great at keeping me updated with messages and photos each day. I was running late to pick her up and they were very accommodating. I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly.
Rubin has watched my little guy a couple times now. Everytime he comes back home he is happy. Rubin is a great sitter.
I appreciate Rubin helping me last minute. I was nervous having a new pet sitter as one of my cats is very timid. He did a really good job of taking care of my cats and working with them to make them comfortable. By the second to last day, my timid cat was asking Rubin for belly rubs. He was very responsive. He is also a great photographer and will capture all the fun your cats are having. I had no worries working with him and would definitely book with him again.

Schedule
I currently have a flexible schedule where I’m working from home! My girlfriend and I will be both sitting your pet so they will be watched almost 24/7. Only time where we can not watch them would be if we were to go out for an hour or two for food! I am also available for visits and walks in the evenings during weekdays, which allows me to spend quality time with your pets after work hours when they need attention and care! On weekends, I am generally available, though I am sometimes busy Saturday mornings until around 2 pm. After that, I am available for visits, walks, and extended care. I always do my best to plan ahead and keep my schedule updated to ensure I can provide consistent and reliable care. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide attentive, patient care whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, or just some extra company while you are away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Majority of our services is for pet boarding and when caring for pets, we prioritize safety, comfort, and following each owner’s instructions closely. During walks, we make sure pets are always safely leashed, avoid crowded or unsafe areas, and adjust the pace based on your pet’s energy level and needs. We also pay close attention to weather conditions and make sure pets stay comfortable and hydrated. For drop in visits, we follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. We also monitor for any changes in behavior or signs of discomfort and will communicate with you right away if anything seems unusual. We respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure doors, gates, and any pet areas are secure before leaving. We treat every pet with patience and care, and we are happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
