Cat Sitters in Perth Amboy, NJ

Phoebe

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Phoebe! She was so communicative right from the start and even came by early to watch one of our feeding schedules and brought the kitties catnip and some fresh goods for us from the farm. She was so sweet and sent us a ton of cute photos and updates throughout the stay. We felt instantly at ease knowing that our kitties were in the best hands. She even took extra time to get our fickle cat Kei ti take her medicine every day. The house was so clean when we came back and the kitties even looked a little disappointed that it wasn't her coming back 😂 We would absolutely love to have her come back and stay in the future. 10/10! Highly recommend!

Mia

It was a pleasure to have Mia watch my Kajsi bug while I was gone! I was at camp staying busy and Mia took great care of Kajsi, often with little opportunity for communication. She was communicative about problems and when settling in, sent photos periodically, etc. She was understanding and adapted well with Kajsi’s slow transition to prescription food that is ongoing. I came back to a clean, tidy home and a cat that seemed happy but not desperate to see me— always a good sign. Mia is welcome for future sits anytime!

Shannan & Adam

Shannan was a wonderful sitter for our two parakeets! She spent so much time with them and cared a lot about making them feel comfortable and happy. The apartment was left spotless. Shannan was very communicative and gave great updates with photos daily. We’d love to welcome her back any time.

Amanda

We were so happy to have Amanda back for another sit, as that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. As always, Amanda was an absolutely fabulous sitter. Our cats adore her, and could not have been happier. She took great care of our home, communicated frequently, and was self-reliant. Amanda is a wonderful sitter, and we recommend her highly!

Samyuktha

Unfortunately the sit did not go as expected. Samy arrived 30 mins late to our appointment even if she was aware of the time sensitivity because we were catching a plane. During the stay, we had to ask her for daily updates and when we arrived, the house was dirty, the living room window open (even if we told her not to leave windows open for the cats) and the bedroom did not seemed aired in days.

Emily

Emily was practically perfect in every way! She sent daily updates with photos and videos of my kitty (per my request), left the house tidy and the cat content, and even did me the kind favor of washing my sheets and remaking the bed! I'd recommend her to anyone.

Jenna

Jenna was a great pet sitter. Lochy took to her straight away, she made him feel comfortable playing with him and giving him treats. She sent us picture updates over the weekend. The house was clean and tidy when she left. We would recommend Jenna.

nora

Nora was an excellent sitter. She took great care of our lovely dog (Pali), our garden and our many, many plants. Also kept us up to date daily. Our dog did get sick when we were away. However, Nora was prompt and efficient with getting the dog taken to urgent care. And when we returned everything was back to normal. I would definitely reccomened Nora to friends. Thanks Nora!

Michele

Our experience with Michelle was nothing less than perfect. We were able to meet in person before the sit which was helpful to establish our comfort with each other. We communicated nicely before the stay and during the stay. With Michelle our dogs, both older, were well taken care of! Having Michelle watch our house and dogs definitely made it easier to be away. She was absolutely wonderful!

Chloe Eli

Eli was exceptional caring for my two dogs during this two week stay. She managed some challenging issues with the house and upset stomachs with the dogs extremely well. She kept the house organized and clean and not only cared for the dogs but entertained them and engaged with them each day. I would recommend Eli without the slightest hesitation!

Brittany

Brittany was great with Jackson. He took a liking to her right away. She is very communicative and responsive. Thanks for keeping Jackson safe.

Wanda & Fran

Wanda was truly amazing, could not have asked for a better sitter to look after Ruby and my home. She provided regular updates, went above and beyond for Ruby’s care and left the apartment spotless!!

shelley

Julia took care of our pets, garden, and car for about a week. We have 5 outdoor cats and one young service dog. She clearly really adores animals. Everyone and everything was happy and in great shape when we returned home. She was responsible, thoughtful, observant, detail oriented, and tidy. As examples, she eagle-eyed some scratches on our outdoor cat’s underside from afar and noticed our clothespins were breaking and left us new ones. She sent text updates as promised and was otherwise self sufficient. 

We had some overlap at the start and end of the house sit, and she was a pleasure to have around and get to know. This is a good human!

We’d be happy to have her return anytime or to be a contacted as a reference.

Catherine

Mingkang was an amazing sitter. He took great care of my cats and my apartment and was very communicative throughout the sit. I really appreciate him and how attentive to my pets he was!
