Cat Sitters in Throgs Neck, NY

Matthew

If you're searching for the ideal pet sitter, look no further than Matthew. He recently cared for my 14-year-old dog for an entire month, and I couldn't be more pleased with his service. My elderly dog tends to be anxious, yet Matthew quickly earned his trust. His approach was gentle and patient, demonstrating a natural ability to connect with animals. Matthew's dedication was evident from the start. For the first few nights, he even slept next to my dog to ease his loneliness and help him adjust to our absence. This level of commitment truly sets Matthew apart. Throughout the month, Matthew: Diligently administered my dog's medications Regularly sent us photo updates Maintained our plants Kept the house in immaculate condition Beyond his excellent pet care skills, Matthew is simply a wonderful person. His kindness and reliability make him a joy to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew and would absolutely hire him again. With Matthew, you can rest assured that your beloved pet is in capable and caring hands.

Nicole

Nikki was a great sitter! She seemed to appreciate Nico and all of her little quirks and sent the cutest photo updates. If I hadn’t seen the photos I wouldn’t even know Nikki has been in the house everything was exactly as I left it. Nikki was flexible when I asked her to arrive a little later than we had discussed (I was running late in cleaning and packing per usual) 🫣 neighbors who met Nikki while she was here all how sweet she was. We’d love to have her sit in the future. Thanks again!!

Kayla

Kayla was great! She sent regular updates on my cat and was flexible and organized

Erika

Another perfect sit for Erika. Shandy just loves her and Teddy.

sol

Sol was an excellent cat sitter for us. Very attentive to and considerate of our (and the cats’) needs, a great communicator, and willing to work through the quirks of our automatic cat box. The house was left in great shape. Definitely recommend!

Laura

Laura did a wonderful job befriending my cats and making them feel at ease with her. She was committed to playing with them and giving them lots of attention, which I know they really appreciated! Laura provided regular photographic updates of the boys, and I could tell they were having a great time with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats, and I’m grateful to Laura for taking such good care of Boots and Chuck.

Kelly

Kelly was an incredible cat sitter while I was away in Europe for 2 weeks. She kindly asked my preference for communication and check-ins, and she kept to those preferences to a tee—sending a pic or video every other day and letting me know how things were going: smooth like butter! I came home to a perfectly organized home, exactly as I left it. Kovi and I will be thrilled to have Kelly back again soon!

Meredith

From the start Meredith communicated well and was very organised . The sit was easy to arrange and went well. Meredith sent us regular updates on Scooby who was contented in Meredith care. We returned to a spotless house and a very happy cat . We would be pleased to have Meredith sit again for us in the future . Thank you Meredith !

Larry

Larry and Charly were as close to the ideal pet/house sitters you could ask for. It’s clear that caring for the dogs was absolutely their priority, they had lots of trips out, so much so, I think the dogs were disappointed we came home! The house was also left so clean and tidy, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anybody and on top of all this, they are lovely people 😊

Daria & Elena

They were excellent pet sitters !! Great communication and sent pictures everyday!! They are Welcome back anytime

Deema

Deema was a fantastic sitter for our dog Millie. She kept us posted on how she was doing, sent pics and videos regularly, and left our place super clean.

Claire & Rodrigo

Claire and Rodrigo took excellent care of our pets and our house. Our dog and cats were relaxed and happy when we got back from our trip, and the house was spotless. I appreciate that they reached out before the trip to ensure they logistics and pet-care were well-understood, and then sent regular updates and pictures during the trip. We'd be delighted to have them stay again in the future, and would recommend Claire and Rodrigo to other hosts.

Allison

Vivian was a great pet sitter. My cat was so happy while she was here (my land-mates can tell) and so relaxed when I got back- it’s like she didn’t even notice I was gone. My house was in perfect order. Would definitely have her sit again.

Devyn

Devyn and Miles was great, very responsive, instructions were very clear, and they have a very nice/comfortable home with a great backyard.  Upon arriving I was showed around the house by their son Ewan very cute lil boy just a sweet soul. Juno and Calypso were awesome. Juno is very shy, but she is really a sweet doggy, and it takes some time to warm up to you, but she loves her treats and to go outside in the yard and to just relax at home. It was a short sit, but we became friends before my departure. Calypso she is a friendly cat that just chills and watches from a distance but loves to be rubbed. I got the chance to meet their handsome two boys the oldest Ewan was celebrating his birthday and is the cutest and sweetest kid in the world. He gave me a big hug before my departure.  I would highly recommend this sit and would accept any opportunity to sit again in the future.
