Top rated Rochester cat sitters
“Alexandra was an amazing sitter for my two cats! She kept me updated with pictures each drop in and even offered to make an extra visit to check on them when one of my cats was hiding and couldn’t be found during her visit! I definitely had peace of mind while I was away knowing she was checking in on them.”
“Kayla has dropped in on my kitten many times for me. She’s great with updates, sending pictures, and going out of her way to scoop, fill up his food, and refill his water. Thank you Kayla!”
“Paige was communicative, reliable, and sent plenty of pictures. Even my shy kitty came out to be with her! Would definitely recommend Paige and will be using her again!”
“Lavinia is the most amazing cat sitter I’ve ever hired. First, she’s extremely professional in her work. She is reliable, timely, friendly, easy to communicate with, and responds quickly to texts. Lavinia took extra time to clean litter box spills and other niceties that kept my apartment clean while I was gone. She was awesome with my cat, Blossom, sending me photos of Blossom playing, eating, drinking from the faucet and sitting in Lavinia’s lap to get attention and pets. I highly recommend Lavinia for pet sitting!”
“Anna did a fantastic job looking after our sphynx kitten and our home. She was so easy to communicate with and sent pictures and updates daily. We came back from our vacation to a happy kitten and clean home. If you are in need of a pet sitter—I highly recommend Anna! We look forward to having her care for our cat again in the future.”
“I had the pleasure of having Caroline drop in to take care of my cats while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! She was punctual, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable about caring for pets. Caroline made sure my cats were fed, played with, and felt comfortable in my absence. She also took some amazing photos that really captured my cats' personalities (Ngl, those photos are the best! Already saved as my screen background), which gave me so much peace of mind throughout my time away. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca is next level!! We took a long overseas trip and I was so anxious to leave our boy. She put all that anxiety to ease. She provided the absolute best updates while we were away. So detailed and just a way of letting you know he was all ok and that she was having fun with him! Very thankful to have had her during this trip!!”
“Carly was great! She was very thorough with her meet and greet and was a great communicator who was always very timely. I can tell she really loves cats and you will be leaving your cat in good hands with her. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Tina did a great job with my cat! She sent great updates and lots of pictures every visit and made sure the kitty was staying fed and entertained!”
“Emily was the absolute best. She sent plenty of photos and updates on my cat Loki without even asking. Loki was a very happy cat upon my arrival home. Will absolutely be booking Emily in the future. Thanks again Emily!!”
“We were so pleased with your attentiveness to our requests. Mommi was well cared for and I appreciate you very much. I would have you take care of our cat any time we are going to be away from home. We can not thank you enough”
“Emalee was awesome. Had to cancel the first sitting due to unavoidable circumstance. She was very accommodating for a future date. She made the scheduled drop in visits and I trusted her implicitly. Would definitely use her again.”
“Priya was AMAZING! She took excellent care of my two cats (one who requires medication multiple times a day). It was my first time leaving my cats alone for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have felt more at ease and comfortable with the care she provided. I will definitely book her again :)”

“Isabella was very sweet with my two cats I adopted from a shelter (can be very idiosyncratic) . She met each one at their level of social need. During my absence my robolitter was not behaving, however, Isabella insured the litter box remained fresh for my cats so I didn't find any surprises upon my return! I will definitely book her services again!”
“Suzanne was a great communicator and reliable! I appreciated the pictures and videos and most importantly felt that my animals were being well taken care of! Would use again!”
“We really like Alicia! Alicia is very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us a report after the visit with a video of our kitties and took care of everything we requested. We’ve already booked Alicia for house sitting next!”
