Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat Lady / Mutt Scout
I have experience with all types of cats and dogs and critters. I not only work as a pet sitter, but I was an independent rescuer and as a Spay-Neuter advocate for the ASPCA in NYC as well. I can administer fluids and medications (provided the cat isn't feral) and I have experience caring for elderly animals and pets with disabilities. I'm guaranteed reliable, flexible, patient, and kind, and I would care for your babes as I do my own. Part of being a good pet sitter is sensing what the cat and dog need, whether it means extra pets and playtime, or to be given space. i want your pet to be happy and cared for. i love all animals and their happiness, safety and well-being mean everything to me.

Safety, trust & environment
Cats and dogs deserve exercise, playtime, fresh meals, clean water, and affection. I will never allow a cat outside or a dog off his or her leash unless requested. You can rely on me to lock the door and keep your pet and home safe while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Vicki is the best - this is the third time she’s taken care of our cats and she goes above and beyond every time. She was even able to coax out our very shy kitty and become his new bestie!
Vicki and her calm energy were amazing, especially up against my neurotic, chaotic, overprotective, nuttiness. We were vacationing in the area. I had never used Rover or a babysitter before, and I never go on vacation without my dog because I don’t trust anyone to watch him (see previously mentioned neuroses). So I was super nervous to leave for a day trip to the city because of his recent health diagnoses (even though the vet said he would be fine), so I got a camera to watch him and took a chance on a sitter. I’m so glad I did! She really put me at ease while I was doing dorky tourist things in NYC. She sent pics and was very responsive and sweet to my dog Eddie. He does not warm up easily but he did great with her! We were only in town for a few days, but if I lived in the area I would definitely ask her back to sit again. She’s the best!
I highly recommend Vicki as a sitter, and she is especially good with our cats. She always gives good updates on how the cats are doing and seems to genuinely enjoying being around them. Will definitely be using Vicki again!
Amazing sitter. Super reliable, replies fast, and handled my two difficult cats perfectly—meds, bathroom issues, and even got my shy one to eat from her hand for the first time ever. Loved the photo updates. I’d book her again without hesitation.
Thank you for everything Vicki! I really appreciate you looking after my cat and taking such good care of him!
Vicki is the best. I say that over and over. I’m so thankful for her help!
