Top rated Yonkers cat sitters

“Our cat is in love with Ellie! She gave him all of the cuddles and love...along with food and his insulin shot every night. As a senior cat, Iowa needs special attention and Ellie is a great caregiver for our old pal!”


“Kristine was great and very flexible to accommodate our crazy schedule. We had just moved and had to leave our kitty right after so were nervous to leave her alone. Kristine was very reliable, visited everyday at the same time, and was very communicative with pictures and updates. Would definitely book her again!”


“Sarah was great with my cat while I was away. She took care of all of the feeding and cleaning up after, and took time to keep my cat company for a little bit each time she came by. I would definitely trust her with everything again.”


“Colleen is an excellent sitter & great with animals. She made sure both our cats were well looked after & sent us lots of great pictures. I would highly recommend if you need a pet sitter.”


“Tatyana was amazing and left our cat feeling happy and calm, she also did a great job cleaning up after him and accommodating for our times for dropping the keys off at our place.”


“Manny was a great communicator and we returned to find our cats happy. We were away for a week with Manny doing once-a-day visits. He checked in with us regularly and shared photos. Thanks, Manny!”


“Although the first few days of Leo’s stay with Katherine were a bit nerve-racking on my part (he was a very anxious kitty and would hide and not eat), once he got comfortable, he started acting like his lovable self. I was away in Europe so the time zone difference made me even more nervous, but once Leo started eating and feeling comfortable, I felt better! Katherine also used the expertise of her father (who is a vet) to get guidance on how to proceed with Leo’s first few days of only hiding and not eating. Katherine sent a lot of videos and pictures of Leo, and shared progress updates on his eating patterns and bowel movements. She was fairly communicative and offered to FaceTime us several times (which I think helped Leo feel calm when he heard our voices!). Personally, I would have liked an update every other hour, especially the first few days, but I think I might just be a crazy cat mom! Knowing that Leo calmed down and felt like himself again, I would book Katherine again for another long-term stay. Thanks Katherine!”


“Unlike many other reviews, I asked Ms. Bianca to come to my house once a day and feed my cat which is exactly what she did and I am satisfied. However, like some other reviews, I did have to request pictures for the 2nd drop in, which she subsequently always provided thereafter without asking. I just want to reiterate how stressful and nerve wracking it can be on a vacation to not get that photo on a drop in and have to wait 24 hours to get it. Other than that, I have no complaints. She took care of my baby well and was trusted to enter my home while I was away and for that she is a reputable, reliant, and trusting cat sitter. Her daughter is also very gentle and natural with cats and respecting of others homes. Lovely family.”


“My first Rover Aya was such a great communicator, eased my worries of leaving my newly adopted cat for a few days. She was great with my kitty, played with her, followed all the care instructions so well and sent lots of pictures/video's. Highly recommend.”


About: My husband and I have grown up around animals and have lived with dogs and cats. We are cat- parents and understand the needs of pet parents. My husband and I have flexible work schedules which allow us to take care of our fur baby and additional fur guests! We plan on caring for our fur friends as a team. Our fur friends will get to experience the nature and beauty of the park across the street or the cleanliness and tranquility of our apartment (with balcony, with permission). For visits to our fur friends we are committed to meeting pet parents expectations and maintaining a clean, organized and safe environment.


About: No dog likes to think they're older than they are! I relate more to dogs than I do humans. I love the outdoors and the smell of food. Energetic but also like to nap in the sun. I've owned a rat terrier mix, a big pitbull, and a Ridgeback mix. I’m a true animal lover & love all dogs! A quick walk and treat does the trick in regards to earning their trust. I’ve had experience with socially anxious dogs, and not so nice ones! I’ve also trained all three of my dogs. I'm looking to care for pups in my free time. If you want to ensure Fido is snuggled, walked & properly cared for while you’re out, I'm your girl! Let's bark about it.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 4, growing up with two pups—one large and one small—until I was 15. More recently, I raised a puppy for a year before helping them find their forever home. My experience spans all ages and sizes, from playful pups to strong large breeds. I’m confident, patient, and truly love connecting with each dog’s unique personality. I currently work a part-time remote job, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be responsive throughout the day. I have every evening free, as well as all day Friday, which I can fully dedicate to your pet’s care. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m available when it matters most to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet like family, making their safety and comfort my top priority. In your home, I follow your routines closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m gentle, patient, and always alert to your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel secure and well-cared for. I create a calm, loving environment—whether it’s giving them space to relax, playtime to stay active, or simply being present so they never feel alone. Building trust with both pets and their owners is what matters most to me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters for many years because it’s what I love to do. I have a huge heart when it comes to animals, they keep me happy and, make me feel complete whenever they’re in my company. I’m available during the week from 3pm-8pm and I’m usually free Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10am-3pm I’m also willing to accommodate if need be. I do not own any pets at this time and I don’t have any small children in the house. All my attention will be on the pet that’s in my care whether care is taking place at my home or clients home.

About: I’ve had a variety of pets including hamsters, birds, cats, dogs, and reptiles! I will be able to care for all. Can’t wait to meet your beloved animals. I work hybrid, so I go in person 3 days a week and remote 2 days a week. I’m also off on the weekends and can request 4 weeks a year to work remotely everyday. My schedule is really flexible and I will definitely follow any special instructions for your special friends. Let me know what works best for you and I’ll do my best to accommodate!

“Lynsey, Made me feel comfortable from our first meeting! She knew my vet already and was familiar with the local neighborhood! She asked great questions and was so nice! When it came to taking care of my cat she did an incredible job! I, like most pet owners, am obsessed with my animal and Lynsey took care of my cat like she was just as in love as I am with my tiny animal! I can't thank her enough!!!!!!”

Janis W.
“Janis is a responsible and loving pet caregiver who has a special relationship with pets. She has always treated them with nothing but dreep love ❤️ and kindness on a daily basis! The most avid pet lover that I ever seen!”


Lesly R.
“Lesly is one of the very select few people I fully trust to care for my cat, Bucky, when I’m away—and that’s saying a lot. She has looked after him during multiple extended weekends while I am away in Pennsylvania visiting family (I live in Westchester, NY), and each time, she’s gone above and beyond what anyone would expect. Bucky has a reputation for being sneaky—he’s managed to unplug his automatic feeder more than once—but Lesly always checks it thoroughly to make sure he doesn’t miss a meal. She also ensured his self-filling water fountain was working properly (he no longer uses this product), since he went through a picky phase of only drinking dripping water. Even though his litter box is self-cleaning, I know Lesly would have no problem handling it herself if kindly requested. She’s reliable, detail-oriented, and never overlooks the little things that make a big difference in pet care. But what makes Lesly truly special is that she doesn't stop at logistics. Without any prompting from me, she makes sure Bucky’s toys are spread out across the apartment to keep him mentally stimulated, and she even plays with him using his favorite wand toy for a good 30 minutes (if not more) during every visit. That kind of care—loving, thoughtful, and engaged—is what makes her exceptional and gives me peace as a cat dad. She doesn’t just “watch” pets; she connects with them because she genuinely cares for the pet's overall wellness. Lesly is compassionate, intuitive, and incredibly dependable. Any pet would be lucky to have her, and any pet parent would have total peace of mind knowing she takes the trust you place in her to see after your best friend. —Christopher B.”
