Cat Sitters in Downtown Manhattan, NY

Michael

Garineh

Everything went well with this sit!

Andrea

Andrea has solidified herself as our go-to sitter. She was a great communicator, brought humor and warmth to our interactions, and took exceptional care of Hero and our home. She struck the right balance between providing updates and asking questions when she needed to and being self-sufficient. 10/10 would recommend.

Vanessa

Vanessa was simply great! She was very communicative, clean, reliable, friendly, and very pleasant. We couldn't have asked for more.

Evangeline

Evangeline took great care of Zeki and Oscar while I was traveling. She sent photo updates everyday and the cats seemed totally content and happy. She was easy to reach and she also left the apartment very clean. I would highly recommend her.

Emma

10/10 would have emma over again - even when zella had a bit of a sick issue she handled it as well as i would’ve :)

Alia

Alia swooped in at the last minute and made my weekend by being available to sit my three dogs last minute. She was communicative and reliable. I would recommend you choose Alia for your next pet sit, my pets were well cared for by her.

Victoria

Great sitters! Hope we can have them again.

Courtney

Courtney was so great! She made sure we knew the pets were being well cared for, and even made a shared album to keep us updated with pet pics throughout her sit. Would definitely have her sit again!

Josie

Josie took care of our house and our cat while we were traveling. The experience offered great peace of mind. She has a lot of experience and appreciated that she asked all the right questions to get her grounded in our house and to bond with our cat. We appreciated her daily updates and are grateful for the positive experience. Thank you, Josie.

Olivia

Olivia was such a great sitter! She looked after our 2 mini dachshunds for 8 days while we were abroad and they fell in love with her, I think they were annoyed when we got home! Definitely recommend Olivia and hope to have her back in the future :)

Sebastian

Sebastian was a great sitter for my labradoodle Tekka! He was very self-sufficient, left the apartment clean and tidy, and was very communicative. We got a picture or a video of her every day and never felt worried about her. And I think Tekka liked him a lot too! Highly recommend Sebastian!

Andrew

Louann and Steve took great care of Jasper and the house while we were away for the weekend. The house was left cleaner than when they arrived, they were flexible with the timing of our travel schedule, they sent updates on how Jasper was doing, and communication was clear and efficient. I would highly recommend them as house sitters.

Michelle

Michael and Juanita are terrific house /pet sitters! They are friendly, organized, clean, attentive, amazing with pets and have great personalities. The furbabies loved all the attention Michael and Juanita showered on them. The pictures of the fur babies they sent to me were adorable. I felt comfortable leaving the furbabies with them knowing they’d take good care of them. The house was cleaner than I left it when I got home. They washed the bedding and cleaned parts of the house which was above and beyond and I really appreciated it. I highly recommend Michael and Juanita to watch your furbabies.
