This was the second time Julie watched my cat Nani, and she was just as amazing as before. She’s easy to communicate with before and during. I came home to a very happy cat! Also, the photos she sends are so good :)

About: I am a neuroscience graduate from BU and was briefly a a PhD student at CUNY and now work for a nonprofit. I have had two beautiful dogs, a white lab and a black lab German Shepard. They were both super energetic and cuddly. Both have recently passed away. Despite being small, I’m great at handling dogs of all size and demeanors. I was a cat sitter for 8 months for two sweet orange cats: May and Pumpkin. They’re a bit older but are playful sweeties Currently my availability is pretty open and I’m also pretty flexible. Apart from my own pets, I have cat, dog, and rabbit (yes) sat for many friends and family and have always been asked to do it again. I also have worked as a dog walker for 6 months for dogs as large as German Shepards to chihuahuas. Though we did not offer house sitting, I have done this for many friends and from walking, have experience entering and leaving homes respectfully and befriending dogs without their owners present. Dogs bring me so much joy but I can’t have my own due to my lease so I’d love to play with yours :) and I love my cats but am always excited to meet new ones I am currently job searching for a 9-5 but am really looking for a great fit so I don’t anticipate starting immediately and… I love animals!! I try to leave everything as I found it. I am happy to go over your special pals needs. I will probably update you/ask questions the first day or so just to make sure I can have the best time with your pup. I also send tons of pictures!!!

Jennifer is everything you'd ever want in a cat sitter. She's super experienced with animals, organized and communicative. She's also funny and warm - you'll feel totally at ease leaving your littles with her. We had some nuanced stress and medication situations going on that she was totally both able to trouble shoot and stay in touch with us on. And lastly she really seemed to enjoy our cats. I give her 11 out of 10.

About: I was in 4-H with my horse growing up - was raised with black labs, cats, and pigs. I volunteered to foster with PAWS and the Humane Society. I love having the flexibility of working remotely.... Keeping furry Family members company with much love, as well as getting to know new animal loving people! My current job has me working from home, occasionally having to spend a few hours a week performing tasks outside the home. I am never away more than a couple of hours (unless pre planned) so, I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the walks and playtime that they would like. I am very respectful and responsible. I can provide references upon request. I understand that each pet and household is different and will follow all requests exactly as specified.

I was so anxious about leaving my two cats for several days but Avery made me feel so much more comfortable with it! She was kind, responsive, provided great photos and detailed updates, and she even went the extra mile to help with window closing/opening when it was raining and very hot. I am very grateful for her and her care for my animals. Absolutely would book her again. Thanks Avery!!

I highly recommend Elizabeth for all of your dog needs. I have 2 dogs, one is reactive, and she was very thoughtful and gentle with him until they grew trust together. Elizabeth is always on time, and follows through with all her commitments. She is trustworthy, communicative, and friendly. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone!

This is the second time Eleanor has watched the kitties!! She is so attentive with them and ensures everything is as they need it. The cats are so comfortable wit her! Eleanor also saved me when the roof above litter room decided to leak while I was gone - she ensured the water was taken care of and arranged everything so that it minimized any impact until I arrived home that evening - so thankful!
