“Rochelle was very professional and effective at taking care of my cat for two weeks while I was on vacation. She genuinely loves cats and they are sure to love her back. I would definitely book her to care for my cat again.”
“Dave was a true superstar with taking care of my little one, Rosco, as I took a business trip! I highly recommend him. Very communicative, sends lots of pics and is very flexible!”
“I will definitely be recommending Hannah’s services to any friends looking for pet care. She has taken care of my senior (12 yrs) male kitty for a total of 3 drop ins so far. And I already have her booked for another drop in to help out around the Thanksgiving holiday! She helped me out with a last minute request and responded very quickly. I was specifically looking for someone who has good experience with cats and would take the time to make sure he is properly cared for while I am away. Hannah spent the time to get to know Freddie and was patient during the first couple of visits. I came home to a happy kitty, a clean litter box, and most importantly — peace of mind! I am relieved to have found someone who I can trust and is reliable cat care for intermittent work and holiday trips!”
“BJ is the best! She took care of our cat Whisky while we were gone. She took excellent care of him, gave us detailed updates about how he was doing, and sent us lots of great pictures!”
“I highly recommend Tara as a drop in pet care person. I have three dogs, she follows my instructions, and sends me many pictures. She is punctual. I am pleased to have cross paths with Tara.”
About: I have taken care of pets for all the good and bad. From playing catch with a tennis ball to comforting them while vomiting and cleaning it up. I make sure all their needs are met and beyond. I work 2nd shift so I am available in the mornings when people generally work a 9-5. I am an online college student which helps for flexibility all year round. I like to shower fur babies with love and meet their needs. I want animals to be happy while doing so in a safe environment.
“Christa is great! So incredibly reliable and communicative. She did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the Thanksgiving holiday. I would definitely book her again!”
“Came over ever day to feed our cats, grab any mail we gad gotten, watered the plants also, and brought in our mail. Really great people that will take good care of your animals while your gone.”
“Chloe did an absolutely outstanding job taking care of our cat while we were away for five days. Chloe went above and beyond to ensure our cat was happy, healthy, and well-loved while we were gone. She provided detailed updates daily through Rover and we returned to a happy and content cat (and a clean litter box!). We wholeheartedly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Chloe, for treating our baby as if she were your own!”
“Chloe did a wonderful job taking care of our two 9 year old cats. She spent a lot of time with them and was great at giving them their daily medicine. She sent pics and videos at each visit, which was very comforting to us to see how everyone was doing. We will definitely have her take care of our cats again, and we highly recommend her to others.”

About: I consistently care for friends' dogs at college, so I'm used to handling a wide range of breeds, personalities, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own back home, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every dog like they're family—because that’s how I’d want mine to be treated! I live in Long Beach Island during the weekends over the summer. I am completely available Friday nights to midday Sunday. Apart from living at the beach, I will be living in NYC this summer from Monday-Friday while I intern at a large financial bank. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and of course, lots of love and attention. I always make sure their space stays clean and cozy—whether it’s tidying up litter boxes, wiping paws, or giving them a comfy spot to relax. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is doing great!

Elisavet took great care of my two cats. I never really leave them alone, so I was hesitant at first, but I felt very comfortable with her taking care of them. My cats are rarely social, but the less reserved one immediately loved Elisavet (and he never lets strangers touch him) so I knew they were in good hands! Elisavet was also very responsive and perfectly followed my detailed instructions. She even offered to do more than what I asked, which shows her dedication. I would 100% let her take care of my babies again!
