Ariana was a sweetheart!! It was my first time hiring a sitter so I was a little nervous but she made it all so simple and easy! She sent me pictures and updates. Definitely will hire her again, hopefully she’ll be down to see my puppy again. Thanks for making Ricky’s day better!

Ariella provides excellent cat sitting services. She is 100 percent reliable. She takes time to enjoy each cat- and understands their individual personalities and needs. The cats are very happy when she comes over- even greeting her on the stairs. We have been using Ariella for the past couple of years and will continue to use her. Highly recommend her if you want peace of mind.

About: I've had dogs my entire life. When I was young, we raised Dalmatians and I have had over twenty of them in my life. I have plenty of experience with puppies as well as older dogs. I used to dog sit on weekends for neighbors so I know how to get unfamiliar dogs used to me. I will take the upmost care of your dogs because I care about them as much as you do. I will always make sure they receive all the care and attention they deserve. If your dog needs lots of excerise, I'm able to take him or her for runs around the neighborhood and to a nearby park. I'm comfortable with all sorts and sizes of dogs and I can't wait to meet yours.

About: Coming from a family of dog lovers, I have had the opportunity to care for pets from a very young age. I have frequently been entrusted in walking, feeding, bathing, and, of course, playing with numerous dogs in my lifetime, and hope to continue to care for such lovely pets for as long as I can. Rest assure that your fur babies will be safe under my care! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits every day, as long as I receive at least one day’s notice. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’m happy to accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible. My home is equipped with a large yard for your dogs to play to their hearts content, along with fencing to prevent any accidental escapes. I also am a proud owner of a friendly American Eskimo, so you do not have to worry about your sweet pups getting lonely. If need be, I can keep my dog in a separate environment so as to not frighten your pup. I also have space to crate your pup if needed, as long as the crate itself is provided. As for my environment, I am a one minute walk from the beach so I can easily take your fur babies out for a walk along the boardwalk.

About: Animal care is my biggest passion. I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters for animal care experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and even birds and turtles for as long as I can remember. My friends and family know they can rely on me when away for vacation to drop in and play with their pets, keep their pets company, and walk and feed their pets. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me! So I’m so excited to help those in my community with animal care. I work on call only part time, so I’m available most hours of the week and some weekends. I would prefer early mornings or evenings, but I am ready for anything! In my clients home the first thing I do, in the case of a dog, is take them for a walk as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. Sometimes I will let them in the yard if it is late at night, but I find longer walks will use up all their energy so they can nap well until the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill, which if they’re reluctant to eat, I will wait with them to make sure they at least eat some. Then it’s play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll find any toys to keep them entertained for my time there. The hardest part for me is leaving them!

I can’t recommend Jackey enough. She is truly wonderful, kind, and so thoughtful. She sent regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was always responsive and communicative. Most importantly, she was incredibly sweet and patient with my cat, who isn’t the easiest and is currently going through a lot of changes in his life. It was clear she really cared about his comfort and emotional well-being, not just the basics. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for cat, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable animal person.

Brittany took such good care of our Lucy, giving us updates and awesome (and very cute) pics along the stay. This is the first time we needed a cat sitter, so we were pretty stressed so I'm very grateful we found Brittany. I would highly recommend her to all. No question who we will contact when we need a sitter again in the future. Thank you! ❤ - Chris & Jane

Kristen was a delight from the start. She is so sweet and kind. She took care of my cat for a weekend, not only feeding him, but she also administered medication, cleaned the litter box and spent some time with him. I would totally recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a cat sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I will be out of town 😁

Rhea was absolutely awesome with my boy Maverick. She was happy to do a meet n greet before the drop in and asked thoughtful questions so that she knew what to do. I got so many good pictures of Mav and great feedback from her during her drop in visits. Rhea did such a super job.

Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!

Anastasiia was an amazing cat sitter. Reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and clearly great with animals. I came home to calm, happy cats and a spotless apartment, which honestly is the dream. One of my cats is usually very picky about people and even they warmed up fast. Would absolutely book again.

Ariella was a total professional and went above and beyond to drop in on our sweet cat Claude while we were away for almost two weeks. She sent updates and photos daily and really seemed invested in how Claude was doing. She also noticed that a winter storm was due and proactively notified us. She topped up his food and water beforehand, and made sure he would be comfortable if she was snowed in for a day. But that wasn’t even necessary, because she came to visit him at 6 am to beat the snow on day one, and on the second day of the storm had her car dug out and came over to complete her visit. It takes so much to trust someone with your pet and to be in your house, and Ariella earned that right away with us. Thank you Ariella!!!

Brittany did an awesome job with my cat and she made sure my cat ate a good amount since she is fussy eater sometimes. Brittany had a lot of patience with her and spent quality time with her. I could tell Brittany loves cats, she really loved being around my little furry one. Would definitely use Brittany again soon when I’m out of town. Thank you so much.
