Top rated Ruby cat sitters
“Vicki is excellent - thorough, communicative and so caring. I have a very sweet cat that is very skittish and so mostly hid but in knowing this, Vicki was ready to coax her to play or leave her be if that seemed in order. This was my first time being away for more than a couple days and it was such a boon to find Vicki and a relief knowing my cat was so well looked after.”
“Melissa was awesome! She was consistent in going to our house while we were gone and great about communicating and sending pics, which we hugely appreciated. She made a real effort to connect and play with our cat even when he was standoff-ish. She went above and beyond, and we greatly appreciated her help. We will definitely be reaching out again.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”
“We had a lovely meet and greet with Barbara. She was great with Dot while we were away as we could tell from her messages and pictures - and that Dot was a happy little critter when we got home. It's nice to leave Dot with someone we know will take good care of her.”
“Shana was amazing when watching our four cats! She took such good care of our boy who had stitches and needed antibiotics. She kept our home clean and tidy and treated our babies with love and treats! The daily updates and her care for our pets allowed us to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about them.”
“Cipriana and her mom were fantastic! I could see from the photos (and there were tons of great ones!) that my little boy was having fun with them. I’m a first-time user and definitely would use them again.”
“Sebastian is a fantastic pet sitter. They administered the medicine perfectly. They took so many pictures and gave me many updates (which I love)! Bubba warmed up really quickly. 12/10 would recommend!”
“Hila took excellent care of my two cats while we were away for an entire week. We really appreciated all the updates and she even sent photos daily. I felt completely comfortable having Hila drop by once a day and spend time caring for our cats while we were away. She’s very friendly, dependable and great with animals. I’ll definitely be back to Hila next time!”
“Regan was great! She visited Remy and made sure he was well fed and had a little attention while we were away. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Hoping to re-book with her in the future.”
About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transport at and would love to come to you!
“Olivia did a wonderful job looking after my cat while I was out of town for 2 days. She is kind, respectful, professional, and cared for him as I would. I came home to a happy, well fed, well groomed kitty. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.
“Nicole was a dream come true. She visited our 2 dogs while we had an extra long day away from home. She was communicative, understanding of our needs, and highly competent. Our dogs loved her and I recommend her 10/10!”
