Cat Sitting in University Gardens

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

“This was the first time that Michelle dropped in on Cuddles. She gave her food, water and a clean litter box. Cuddles is not a friendly cat and seems very happy that Michelle was there to provide for her. I would definitely ask Michelle to care for Cuddles again.”

“Hi Kristen, my flight was delayed and I came back late. I was not feeling well so just reply you right now. Thanks again for taking care of Rufus and Gracie. Definitely would order your service next time once I am on a long trip. See you.”

About: Hi there! I’m Kelly an animal lover based in Little Neck, NY, with a flexible afternoon schedule and a passion for caring for pets like they’re family. Whether you’re looking for a dependable dog walker, a quick drop-in visit, or overnight boarding in a safe, pet-friendly home — I’ve got you covered! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure every dog gets the care and attention they need — whether it’s an energetic walk, a belly rub, or just someone to keep them company. 🔹 Services I Offer: – Dog Walking (available weekdays after 3 PM) – Drop-in Visits for feeding, potty breaks, and play available after 3pm and most weekends! – Occasional Boarding (your pet stays at my home) My home is safe and pet-friendly, and I only board one pet at a time to make sure your dog feels relaxed and at home. I know every pet is unique, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you feel connected even while you’re away if this would be helpful! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet so your pup can get to know me! 🐾 I currently have a full time job but am out of work by 3pm which leaves me plenty of time to take care of pups in the evenings! I also have availability over most weekends! ⸻ I provide a safe, loving home with lots of playtime and walks! I follow all care instructions closely and treat every pet like part of the family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities!

About: Hello, My name is Gabby. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and love snuggling, playing, and going on fun adventures with dogs. I also work with children during the day, so I am comfortable, patient, and caring with both kids and pets. I have met so many wonderful people through dog sitting, and I couldn’t be happier doing what I love. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible, and I can’t wait to meet your dogs! I work with kids during the day, but I am available to take care of dogs from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on weekdays. I can also help for date nights or while you are traveling. On weekends, I am flexible and available around 4:00 pm to late evening. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with my partner, but I am also happy to come to your home to care for your dog. I can take your dog for walks around my neighborhood, which has several nearby parks. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are at my place or yours.

“Judy is amazing! She has helped me for three times in 2023. She is great with Tiger and very responsive. She kept me updated with how Tiger is doing, which really put my mind at peace when I’m away.”

“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”

“Jason did a wonderful job once again taking care of Cali and Willie! This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve used him, and he continues to go above and beyond every single time. He kept me updated daily, sharing details about how they were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Jason is incredibly caring, trustworthy, and genuinely the best sitter I’ve ever worked with. I can’t recommend him enough and will absolutely continue to book with him in the future!”

“Brigette took amazing care of Boo. She went above and beyond to let me know how he was doing, the status of his food / wellbeing each visit and sent lots of adorable photos. She was quick to respond to my messages & questions, leaving no room for worry while I was away. I felt very at ease knowing Boo was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again when I decide to take another trip. 10/10 experience, thank you Brigette!!!”
