Cat Sitting West Paterson

“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Nicole was an amazing pet sitter and extremely reliable throughout the three days she cared for my cats. She always arrived at the agreed time, stayed for the full 30-minute visit, and was very attentive to every detail. She carefully fed them and made sure their automatic litter box, water fountain, and feeder were all working properly. She also sent me plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing my cats were safe and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Nicole and would be very happy to book with her again!”

“Alison was amazing! She took such good care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. We would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Alison was wonderful in her care for our kitties. We had 3 inside and 1 outside. She was timely with her visits and sent photos and updates very regularly. There was a thunderstorm during one of the visits and she could not find one of the cats. She wrote to us that she did not want to go upstairs to the bedrooms because we did not give her access. I really respected her professionalism with that. She is honest and trustworthy. We would highly recommend Alison!”

“Mary Ann recently cared for our two cats for the second time. Once again, we were thoroughly impressed with her service. She is incredibly attentive to our cats' needs and shows great care during her time with them. In addition to her care for our pets, she is very respectful of our home and consistently responsive in her communication. We truly appreciate her reliability and the peace of mind she provides while we are away.”

About: Hi, I’m Ev :) I enjoy collecting vinyls, hiking, and cooking. I have experience in dog and cat sitting. I consistently dog-sit a beautiful Beagle named Felix, whom I love and treat as if he were my dog. He is turning 11 in a few weeks, and I have been dog-sitting him since he was 3 years old. There are a few photos in my profile with Felix. I celebrate his birthday every year and spend some holidays with him as I have developed a close bond with him. I have more time now, and I would love to expand my services to more people around northern New Jersey and care for more animals. I have my own 4-legged baby at home named Mango; he is also pictured in my profile, the small little blond dog. He is a Peruvian Inca Orchid mix rescue from Peru; he's really sweet, trained, and is friendly with other animals; he just likes to sniff them first :) Under my care, your dog will be given plenty of attention and love. I work from home, so I can be with your pet all day. I also have a fenced-in yard, so your dog can have as many potty breaks as needed or to simply enjoy the outdoors. I would walk your pet twice a day, morning and night, for a 20 minute walk minimum; if the weather is nice, then it extends to 30 minutes each time sometimes even an hour. They will be let out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I provide a playful environment for any dog; I have plenty of toys and treats for them. I also have a fenced-in large yard so that they have plenty of space to run around. I am also very cautious and observant when having a dog at the house or walking them; they will be supervised at all times.

“Erin was very kind and helpful. She really cares about the safety and comfort of my dogs.”

“Izzi was great house sitting our two cats. One of which is a picky senior kitty. They sent pictures and responded quickly and thoroughly, as well as left our place clean. Would highly recommend Izzi :)”

About: I have taken care of cats for over 25 years. I will take care of your cat as if they were my own. Much care I have a pretty open schedule so I can care for your pet whenever they need it. It is my priority to ensure your pet has the best care I care for pets by ensuring all of their needs are meet from food, walks, litter change giving medication to play. I am used to caring for animals so it comes second nature to me

About: Since childhood, I’ve grown up with pets and continue to be in awe of their unconditional love. I am known to be a warm and friendly person, who is honest and responsible. My friends, often count on me to take care of their fur babies because they trust me to do the right thing. The best part is - I only care for one pet at a time. That way, I am able to give all my attention to your fur baby, whether it is for a few hrs or for days, when you are away. Fun fact - more often that not, I will remember the pet’s name vs the pet parent’s name :) I am home most weekends and on holidays, which is when you may need a break! During weekdays, once I am back home from work around 5pm, I am available for a few hours to care for your baby. I also board or dog sit only one pet at a time, which means your pet gets all my attention and I get to give the love and care your baby deserves. I reside in a pet friendly community surrounded by parks and open spaces. If your pet likes to go on long walks, or likes belly rubs or just wants to cuddle, then we’re a match made in Heaven. Disclaimer - Don’t blame me if your pet starts liking me more :) lol

About: As a lifelong dog owner and lover I have always taken care of not only my own but been a go-to sitter for my friends cats and dogs. I currently have a 4 yr old yellow lab who may be 100 lbs but he thinks he’s a lap dog nonetheless. I love big dogs as I have always had a large dog in the house but small dogs steal my heart too. I have an extremely flexible schedule. As a real estate agent I am only in the office/area that I work on random days here and there. Most days I am home, going to the gym, or spending time with family and friends, so pet care can be at any time throughout the day. I will always care for your pet and home. Any instructions that you give I will follow, I want your pet to enjoy their time with me as much as I enjoy my time with them!

“Right from the very first message interaction, Mimi made me feel assured, confident and so happy we found her to take care of our two adorable cats. They hadn’t been left alone overnight for a few years so we decided to opt for housesitting and we couldn’t be more pleased! Mimi came over for an introductory meeting and both cats took to her right away! Her gentle and caring manner comes across immediately and our usually skittish cats felt safe and right at home with her. We sat talking about their routines while they rubbed up against her leg and purred loudly while she pet them! Mimi is thorough in her preparation, careful in reviewing and following instructions and so thoughtful. Our older cat takes a little CBD treat each night and Mimi easily got him to take it so that both he and our other cat were just calm and peaceful when we arrived home. Thankfully our cats don’t require any medication, but I know if they did she would deftly and properly administer it with care. Mimi also took care of our home as if it was her own! Our house was left in perfect condition! Throughout her stay, Mimi offered her well wishes that we have the best trip ever and she made sure we did because she provided updates and photos so we felt confident and informed. And those photos! You could just tell from the way the kitties were curled up waiting for their belly rubs that they had the best time ever! Mimi is now our go-to cat sitter and we began lining up next stays even before this trip was done! She’s simply the best! On a personal note, I’m so happy to have met this wonderful woman who radiates joy and sincerity. She’s truly a blessing, a genuinely caring person and we are so grateful she’s a part of our lives! We love Mimi and we know if you book her you will too!”

About: I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing personalized care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and will fit you and your fur baby into my schedule. I am a very calming, sweet person and look forward to meeting you and your pet! I cannot have pets in my home, but I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I will follow and instructions you have and will ensure your fur baby is taken care of!

“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”

“Olivia took great care of my cat while I was out of the country. Always communicated, sent plenty of pictures, and more importantly made sure my cat was as happy as can be. I'd definitely trust her with my cat again. 10/10 would recommend!”

Allaa K.

“Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!”
