Cat Sitting in Newark

“Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!”

“Jessica is fantastic she came for a previsit and met our pup who immediately took a liking to her. The day of her first scheduled visits she allowed our dog to warm up to her at his own pace and was patient and kept me informed. We will be welcoming her back real soon. I highly recommend Jessica.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we are happy with our experience with Shaunna! Definitely going to rebook her the next time we need a dog sitter! She was so kind when we met her in person, my dog and my little daughters liked her. Shaunna was communicative throughout the whole week we were gone, she took pictures and went above and beyond. She brought Estee out to use the restroom, went on walks, gave medication, refilled her water bowl, and gave her lots of cuddles. We are very thankful for her taking care of our sheltie Estee!”

“Hailly was wonderful! Respectful of our requests, detailed, timely, and sent pictures and updates every day. Was very mindful of our cat’s moods and picked up on the fact that he was a little nervous at first, but you could see he quickly started becoming comfortable each visit through the pictures. We would certainly choose her again. Thank you, Hailly! :)”

“Deja was great! She took great care of my indoor/outdoor cat and provided very detailed accountings of the events of the day. She made me feel very comfortable that my cat was in good hands. She definitely took good care of him!”

“I would recommend Carla H. in a heartbeat! She is responsible, very trustworthy, does exactly what she says she will do when she says she will, and more importantly, is very caring. Our cat, Cooper, is skittish with new people but she managed to set up a rapport with him early on. We felt like we were leaving him in good hands, and we were. Thank you ever so much Carla H.!”

Susan D.

“Meghan was awesome! We are so happy with how she treated my 3 cats. She spent lots of time with them and sent a lot of pictures while I was away. She gave the cats lots of love and gave one cat a pill daily. She was very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her and I am going to book her for all my future trips!”

“Joni was great. I was nervous leaving my cats home. They dont do well being on their own for extended periods. Joni played with them and cuddled with them. She also had no problem, on short notice, feeding them the last day as my neighbor could not. The cats are happy and so am I.”

“Rachel did a great job cat-sitting our two cats. She was great with the cats: one warmed up to her almost immediately, and she even managed to coax the shyer cat out from the furniture he usually hides under when there's a stranger in the house. We always get nervous leaving our cats, but having Rachel there to check on them and spend time with them helped to calm our nerves. We really appreciated her strong communication, and her willingness to accommodate our requests.”

Ben L.

“Excellent communication and Daisy was well cared for.”
