“Paola was the best!! She gave us such thorough updates, which gave us a great sense of how Milo and Swift were doing throughout our 2-week trip. We honestly loved reading them! She also played with them and did daily walkthroughs, which made us much less worried about them being lonely or getting into trouble in our absence.”
“Paula was so great and took fantastic care of our cats! I felt so much better leaving them knowing they were in good hands. Thank you so much, we will definitely be rebooking soon!”
“I'm leaving another review for Nicole because, shortly after I left the first review, my travel plans changed and I needed to add in an emergency drop in visit. Nicole responded so quickly and went over to care for my cats early the next morning! When we returned, everything was tidy and the cats were happy and relaxed. Thank you so much, Nicole, for giving us peace of mind in knowing our furry family members were taken care of during our week away!”
“We love Sarah!! She takes such good care of our babies every time. It makes us so happy that our timid cat always comes out to see her. We can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”
“Donna was an absolute blessing while caring for my mother’s cat, Sam. From the start, she showed incredible flexibility, graciously accommodating schedule changes and making the entire process stress-free for our family. What truly stood out was her genuine care and compassion. She didn’t just stop by to complete basic tasks—she spent meaningful time with Sam, making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. It was clear that she treated him as if he were her own, which meant so much to us. Donna was also consistently reliable and dependable. She showed up exactly as promised, followed all instructions carefully, and kept us updated with thoughtful messages that reassured us Sam was doing well. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from different sizes and breeds since I was 17. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs, and as a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with a sitter. I’m attentive, empathetic, and detail-oriented, making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable whether it’s energetic walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their routine. I work full-time but am available after work for walks, drop-ins, play time, or feeding, with flexible care to fit your pet’s needs Friday through Sunday. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! I treat every pet like family, providing safe, loving care in the comfort of your home. I’m hyper vigilant of my surroundings, making sure all doors and potential escape routes are secured, while following your instructions closely to keep your furry friend happy, calm, and secure.
“Mark was just fantastic looking after my boys: communicative, conscientious, and just a true animal lover. He really took the time to get my cats to warm up to him, and just had such a mellow demeanor. Highly recommend him (and will use his services again if you don’t snag him first!).”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little fur-family. With 6+ years of dog experience and over 20 years of cat care, I’m confident, calm, and totally in tune with what pets need to feel happy and safe. I’ve owned 7+ cats over the years, cared for many pups, and even handled medication and special routines. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for ages to feed, walk, play, cuddle, and keep their pets smiling while they’re away. I’m gentle, reliable, and always focused on giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.Lots of tail wags and purrs guaranteed. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m a stay-at-home parent with a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and play sessions around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to explore. Inside, I use gates throughout the house to keep pets out of trouble and create a calm, manageable environment. If your pet is used to structure, I can crate them as needed to keep their routine consistent. I also have two playful, friendly dogs who love making new friends and can keep your pup company—whether they enjoy gentle play or just having a buddy nearby. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, loved, and totally comfortable during their stay.
“Anna was fantastic! She made sure our cat was well taken care of during our 10 trip, even making sure he got his medicine at the same time each day. We would highly recommend her and look forward to having her look after our cat again.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets over many years, starting from when I was a student and continuing to now. As an undergraduate, I raised two cats in my dorm room. One year later, one of my cats gave birth to four kittens. I cared for the mother and kittens until they were independent, kept one kitten, and responsibly found loving homes for the other three. During this time, I learned how to monitor young cats’ health, behavior, and development. I also have experience with medical care, including administering subcutaneous injections to my cat when he was diagnosed with bladder stones. This experience taught me to stay calm, follow veterinary instructions carefully, and monitor pets closely for any changes in condition. When I moved to the U.S. for my master’s degree, a close friend entrusted me with the care of his three cats, as he was unable to bring them with him. I cared for all three cats for over a year, managing daily feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and monitoring their health and behavior. After graduating, I moved to New Jersey and now live with my wife and our cat. We also run a small YouTube channel for our cat, which has helped me become even more attentive to routines, enrichment, and stress-free environments for cats. In addition, I regularly help friends by feeding and checking on their cats when they are unavailable. I also assist relatives by walking their dogs during holidays, a responsibility I’ve handled since high school. Growing up, I have cared for many different types of pets, including rabbits, turtles, squirrels, and parrots. I am also comfortable around less common pets, as friends with animals such as snakes, spiders, and birds of prey have often invited me to interact with and care for them under supervision. Overall, I am patient, detail-oriented, and highly respectful of each pet’s individual needs and routine. I take responsibility seriously and always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with pet owners. I work a regular weekday schedule and am available for pet care after 5:30 PM on weekdays, as well as most weekends and holidays. I am reliable with scheduled visits and make sure to dedicate focused, quality time during each drop-in or walk. I carefully plan my availability to ensure pets receive consistent and attentive care. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay in a familiar and low-stress environment. During drop-in visits for cats and dogs, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and focus on each pet’s individual routine and personality. Care may include feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, administering basic care as instructed, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I also monitor the pet’s behavior, appetite, and overall well-being during every visit. For dog walking, I prioritize safety and consistency. I use secure leashes and harnesses as requested, follow the dog’s normal walking routine, and adjust the pace and distance based on the dog’s age, energy level, and health. I also remain attentive to weather conditions and ensure dogs have time to rest and hydrate. Clear communication is very important to me. After each visit or walk, I provide updates so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel confident while they’re away. Video Updates & Privacy Policy To provide additional peace of mind, I can record short videos during drop-in visits or dog walks using a DJI Pocket 3. These videos may include moments such as feeding, walking, or playtime. Video recording is optional and only done with the owner’s consent Videos are shared privately with the owner upon request If the owner gives explicit permission, selected clips may be uploaded to my YouTube channel I strictly protect client privacy: No addresses, personal information, faces, or identifying details are shown No interior layouts or sensitive home information are recorded Owners may opt in or opt out at any time My goal is to be transparent, respectful, and trustworthy while providing high-quality care for both cats and dogs.

“We just had a first visit with Ashley, and I couldn’t be happier! She was right on time, brought such calm and positive energy, and was incredibly patient with my two Boston Terriers (one of whom has major trust issues!). She took her time, gave them space, and by the end they were relaxed and happy! Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely good with animals.”
“Abigail did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was responsive, took great photos to send, and took the time to try to play with her. I would definitely book her as a sitter again.”
“Natalie was an incredible cat sitter! She was so attentive to my cat's needs, and provided multiple photos, videos, and updates to put my mind at ease. We will definitely be hiring Natalie again! :)”

Sarah was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away. She gave them lots of attention and made sure they were happy. Her check-ins were very thorough and it was clear she was paying attention to each of them. She was friendly during the meet and greet, asked a lot of questions to get to know them and their habits, and took notes. We won't hesitate to have her look after them in the future.
