Cat Sitters in Oyster Bay Cove, NY

Andrew

Andrew was an absolute pleasure to work with. When we came back, our home was perfectly tidy and clean, and our cats were relaxed. Andrew was independent and a great communicator. He sent us a few pictures of our pets that made us smile during our trip :) We would love to have him back!

blair

Blair was a great sitter! On her first day, she made sure she got to my place in time to meet with me before I left. She sent me a few pictures and informed me of my cat's manners :-) Blair is reliable, and I would definitely welcome her back to sit for Squinty!

Briana

Briana left the house clean before going and also kept good company for Shiva. Seems like he really enjoy his time with her. So five stars by me.

Alexander

Alex was a great cat sitter to our little babies! He sent us video updates regularly and kept us informed on the overall sitting experience. Alex was very reliable and trustworthy and also patient with our cats. It was very nice of his to put clean bedsheets and towels before leaving - we appreciate you and we will certainly love to have him back soon.

Lindsay

Lindsay was the ABSOLUTE BEST sitter. Not only was she super tidy and respectful, our cats loved her. She send so many great videos and photos whilst we were away too. She was also super understanding when I realised I'd messed up our dates and we needed to cut the sit short by a day. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lindsay, you won't find anyone better!

Gin

Gin was great! Took wonderful care of all of our girls (2 cats and a big dog), was very communicative, enjoyable, friendly, and reliable. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Gin!

Amanda

Amanda was very responsive and looked after GG super well, even handling a scary episode with a dog perfectly. Would recommend her to anyone!

Henry

Welcome to come back anytime!

Giulia

Really appreciative of Giulia who took care of my two bunnies so well! It was great to be able to travel without worry. She was also super responsive and sent updates as well.

Florence

Florence is a joy. Zero bumps. Great clear communication and lots of love. Reliable.

Ameen

Ameen was the first sitter who got in touch when we put our listing up (within about 10 minutes!) and impressed us straightaway with his keenness and straightforward nature. He responded to messages very quickly, was happy to do a Zoom call before we agreed to him dog sitting and we met him before the sit so he could be introduced to our cockapoo Barney. Throughout the 10-day stay he sent us photo updates on What's App without it feeling like we were being bombarded with photos of our dog or questions about the flat. He arrived (and left!) when he said he would and we came home to a clean flat and a happy dog. Would have no hesitation recommending Ameen.

JULIA

This was the second time Julia house and pet sat for me. I could tell from the photos she shared with me that the cats were very comfortable in her company (even my skittish and shy Tina was cuddling in the photos). I came home to a clean flat and two very happy and healthy cats.

Graeme and Clare

We proactively contacted Debbie to ask her if she would look after our home and dogs while we were away in the summer, because we knew from our past experience that she is an excellent house sitter and we were so pleased when she accepted. Debbie was incredibly accommodating when it came to when we needed her to arrive, so that we could set off on holiday and likewise for our return. It was so nice to know that our dogs and home were in such good hands while we were away and allowed us to have a great holiday. Thank you so much Debbie!

Sylvia

Anara lives locally and we were able to meet in person for her to meet Sukha, and get the tour of my place & routines,etc. I could see right away that she 'knew' cats well, and that she appreciated the many wonderful qualities of Sukha!! Communication was clear & I knew all would be well with Anara. And so it was. She sent just the right amount of reporting texts, often from Sukha himself (!) and photos. They clearly were good friends!  When I came home, she had gone over the top with leaving things clean & tidy, - including leaving a nice little dinner for me. I am very happy to have found Anara, and will  invite her again. I have no hesitation in recommending her highly.
