Cat Sitters in New York City, NY

Meghan

Meghan was great. She was responsive and responsible. She was understanding with a small issue we had with our door. She was independent. Punctual. She communicates well and understood our need to be able to count on a sitter. The house was in perfect order. She even made us a super yummy cake. Our dog actually looked like he missed her. lHighly recommend. Don’t think twice. She’s your girl.

Michelle

Michelle and her sister Tina were absolutely amazing! They took such great care of Sadi and Ida, sending us some many pictures and updates. Our dogs were sad they had to leave! We will definitely use them again if they are back in Austin.

Becca

Becca was communicative, and did everything we asked!

Anna

Anna took care of my two cats and she was very flexible in communication and keys arrangement. She is self-sufficient and independent, I had to ask her to give me updates and pictures which she quickly provided. When I arrived my house and my cats were well taken care of! Thank you Anna for everything!

Noah

Noah watched over my apartment and dog for a long weekend while I was away. I can tell he loves animals, and I know he took really good care of Libby. My apartment was also very tidy and clean upon returning late at night which was such a relief. 10/10 would have him stay again - thank you Noah!

jzada

So grateful for how well Jzada cared for our cat and our apartment. This was our first time using Trusted Sitters and we had a great experience. Jzada was very self-sufficient, a friendly communicator, and left the apartment just as she found it. Would welcome her back anytime and recommend her to others looking for a reliable sitter!

Maisha

Maisha took great care of my two kitties (even the one who is riddled with anxiety), and I came back to two happy and relaxed cats. Oh, and my apartment was clean and tidy as well.

Sadie

Sadie is a fantastic sitter and was a fantastic caretaker for our two labradoodles. This was our fist time using zeewoi and Sadie made the process super easy for us. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that our fur babies were in good hands and that we had no reason to worry. We would enthusiastically invite Sadie to sit for us in the future :)

Shakiya

I cannot say enough about Shakiya and the care she gave our beloved dachshunds. From the moment we received her application, through the preliminary interview, and follow-up messages, Shakiya earned our trust and respect. She is a great communicator, as well as a curious and proactive person regarding your pets and their routine, habits and personalities. Shakiya came a day early to get acquainted with us, the dogs and our home. We felt 100% comfortable by the time we left that we left our precious babies in the right hands. While we were away, Shakiya sent us daily updates along with photos and videos. She was quick to respond to my messages, and she was great at asking questions when things came up. She treated our dogs with true love and affection, and for this we are forever grateful to Shakiya. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet/home sitter, and we look forward to having Shakiya sit for Bentley and Tilly again soon. She also took very good care of our home and left it in fantastic condition! I cannot recommend Shakiya enough — she truly is a unique and incredible person, and we feel very fortunate that she decided to apply to care for our doxies! I know they miss her already! 🐾

Lydia & Cashill

Lydia and Cashill were really nice, they took great care of my dog, Bheem. The communication was great and they were extremely accommodating with my plans. They sent regular updates and I could say that my dog was having a nice time with them! They definitely made my travel easy and pleasant by being great sitters! Thanks guys!

Imogen

Imogen was great! We would absolutely recommend her and have her back any time. She took great care of our cats and left our place super neat and tidy. We got regular comms and photo updates while away - Thank you Imogen.

Emma

We loved having Emma stay with our puppy’s, she kept us informed all the time, took care of their individual needs, and gave them all the love they needed. Would definetely recommend Emma if you are searching for a reliable sitter. Thanks Emma ♥️!

Brenda

Michael was a perfect sitter for us he stepped in at short notice and arrived on time,Rocky Roxy and tuppence took to him immediately and we don’t think they even noticed when we left . Michael sent us regular updates of photos and videos and we could see our pets were having a whale of a time and not bothered we weren’t there 
Michael left our home as he found it he was very easy to communicate with and we would love the opportunity to use him again should we be so lucky we know the dogs and cat would be as well

Hunter

Sonia was one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. She is super friendly, responsible, caring for our pet, and left the home spotless. She is welcome back anytime!
