About: I've taken care of cats since I was little. I have experience of 21 years taking care of my cat but I also have experience with drop in visits for my friends and neighbors cats. No litterbox scare me ! I'm currently working full time in the call center. I have time on the morning before work and afternoon after 5pm. Currently I can't have a cat due to my living accomodations and that's why I would love to help other cat lovers to take care of their cats I know that each cat is different. I always try to read characters of the cats I'm taking care of and I'm always careful with doors to prevent any unauthorized cat field trips.

About: Being a dog owner of 15 years, while having many other wonderful pets I have always been around animals. Whether it is my own or my relatives pets and my friends pets as well. I always had an inclination to want to help and care for their animals if they ever needed help because I understand that they are family to us and I am someone who will care for your animal as if it were my very own. I work full time. I get back from work usually between 4:15pm and 4:45pm. But that doesn’t mean I won’t take the time out of my day to take great care of your pets! I am available Monday-Friday 5pm and 10pm. Saturdays 11am-5pm Sundays 10pm-6pm I value respecting one’s pet or pets as if they are family. I will treat your pet/s with respect, love, and care. I will do exactly the same In regards to respecting your home, belongings and privacy.

About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet. I am happy to drive or take the train to your home in Nassau, Queens, or Brooklyn. I am available for short drop in visits or long term housesitting and overnight stays.


“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”


“Kierra went above and beyond to make us feel safe leaving a hope alone with a Rover for the first time. She communicated effectively during every visit, took excellent photos, and took time to really provide Hope with the care and love we wanted. She played and sang to Hope, as well as kept her food and water clean and full. We told her she didn’t need to do the litter every day, but she did anyway. Kierra was respectful of the apartment complex and timely with returning our key. Heart of gold and a friend of animals indeed. She even helped us with extending booking (when we messed up 5 times), We couldn’t have had a better experience or human to take care of Hope (who is a rescue cat but had no issues warming up to kierra)”
