Traci Tournoux

I’ve been using Gotham City Cat Care for years and they are the only people I trust with my cat, Binxley. Before he passed, I had a second cat who needed daily medication, and I always felt totally comfortable leaving knowing they were in excellent care. Binxley is… well, let’s just say he’s a little grumpy and hides from strangers. Deb, Binxley’s sitter, never lets that stop her. She’ll get down on the floor and coax him out from under the bed so he still gets some playtime and affection while I’m away. She sends me photos and thoughtful notes after every visit, which gives me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a cat sitter who truly goes above and beyond, feeding, playing, snuggling, and keeping you updated, Gotham City Cat Care is it. Your cats will be safe, happy, and cared for like family.

Mick Bowen

Gotham City Cat Care has consistently provided loving care for our cats over the years. Karin's affection for our pets is obvious -- she even sent a note of condolence after one of our cats died. Karin is attentive and flexible when it comes to scheduling and billing, etc. A'ja is an excellent sitter who provides patient care for our now elderly (and vocal) cat. We have tried several other pet-sitting services in the past, but now we only use Gotham City Cat Care for its reliability and thoughtfulness.

Vanessa Torrey

Highly recommend!! Karin, the owner, is extremely responsive and easy to work with, and our wonderful sitter Deb has always been a reliable and caring friend to our sweet rascals. While we miss them so much when we travel, we feel extremely comfortable leaving our babies in her care. She shares photos, videos, and updates with each visit, and it is evident that they love her. We recently moved out of NYC, and I have yet to find a sitter who comes anywhere close to meeting the high bar that Deb and Gotham City Cat Care have set.

denzil gallagher

Gotham City cat care is amazing. We have had nothing other than an amazing experience working with them. Our cat sitter Cassandre has been awesome. Gotham City cat care has looked after our two cats for over 4 years now and Cassandre has consistently looked after them which we are truly grateful for. Fantastic service and looking forward to continuing our relationship with them.

Erin Goodhart

Gotham City Cat Care, the owner Karin, and their lovely, caring sitters have taken care of my fur babies for 7 years now! I've lived in two places during this time with two different cats, and I've always felt confident that mine and my kitty's needs were very well taken care of. Our current sitter Deb is awesome, really cares to bond with your pet, and gives very detailed feedback and pics/videos from each visit. It's been a relief to not have to worry while out of town. I highly recommend!

Jack

My go-to cat sitting in the city. Used them 4 or 5 times now and always happy with the service. And prices aren’t too bad either

Frank Chen

Got referred to this wonderful local business by our building staff as Deb took care of cats in multiple units in the building. Deb is a very caring cat sitter. She took the time to get to know Chase before our first visit and took notes of important things I said about our little friend. After each visit, she sent us a very detailed and heartwarming report of the visit and we are assured that our cat is in good hands. Highly recommend due to the personal touch and reasonable price!

Flavia Mitri

I have 2 cats who I love more than anything in this world. After a difficult experience with Meowtel, I asked my vet for a more qualified cat sitter service, as one of my cats is an adorable 17 year old grandma. They recommended Gotham City Cat Care and it rapidly became the only service I trust to take care of my babies. Deb is their favorite sitter and takes excellent care of them, giving me very thorough daily updates. She is extremely responsive, very kind to my kitties and someone I trust blindly. There are many cat sitter services out there, but I learned the hard way the importance of having someone better trained to handle an emergency or cats with difficult personalities. Gotham Cat is the only way to go!

Sadie Carroll

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Gotham City Cat Care! Our cat sitter, Deb, always goes above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She provides us with detailed updates, including adorable photos and videos of our cats enjoying their time with her. Deb is incredibly attentive to their needs, ensuring they are not only well-fed and cared for but also given plenty of playtime and affection. It is such a relief knowing that our cats are in such capable and loving hands while we are away. Highly recommend Gotham City Cat Care, especially Deb!

Suzanne Appel

I've been using Gotham City Cat Care for my two cats for around 6 years, and they are the best! The owner Karin is so responsive to requests, has always set us up with quality sitters, and has even looked after our cats a few times herself! We have used many different sitters with Gotham over the past 6 years, and every one is always so lovely and takes amazing care of our cats. We get so many updates, photos, and videos, and I am always completely comfortable knowing that our cats are in their care. Don't hesitate to book with them, they are the best!

Cindy K.

We are so thankful to have found Gotham City Cat Care and specifically Cassandre! She took incredible care of our two cats, making sure all their needs were met and that they got plenty of enrichment. Cassandre kept us updated throughout our trip and made us feel safe knowing our kitties were in good hands and that someone responsible was checking in on our apartment. Karin made booking and payment easy, and we appreciated the thorough intake forms and communication. It can be nerve wracking to leave your beloved pets in the hands of a new sitter, but the whole process made us feel really confident. Will definitely be a return client!

Rebecca M.

I used Gotham City Cat Care to care for two sets of cats when I lived in NYC. Karin was wonderful to deal with both times! Deb was an absolutely amazing sitter for our two kittens. That they enjoyed their time with her was apparent from the wonderful photos, videos, and narratives she shared! We trusted her with our boys completely, and were very sad that we couldn't take her with us when we moved!

Elise H.

The team at Gotham City Cat Care is phenomenal! I had a 5 day trip planned where I would be leaving my fur baby for the first time and was very anxious about the whole experience. However, my sitter Karin was a dream and made me and my pet feel completely at ease. I highly recommend Gotham City Cat Care and will absolutely be hiring them again!

Laura Z.

Having been a customer of Gotham City Cat Care since 2016, I can confidently say that this is the best cat sitting service any cat parent could ever ask for! Karin has always been highly professional -- her responsiveness, accommodation, and patience with all my demands and requests are truly remarkable. She is also an incredible person who has a genuine and compassionate heart for animals. She is a strong advocate for animal rescues - even provides special discounts to rescue group volunteers! When I recently relocated to Brooklyn, I was anxious about finding a new cat sitting service. Thankfully, Cassandre came to the rescue and took exceptional care of my two introverted cats during my recent trips. She was attentive, responsible, and very thoughtful! Moreover, she went above and beyond to make my cats feel comfortable and secure while we were away. I am grateful for the consistently wonderful service that Gotham City Cat Care has provided for my cats over the years. If you are seeking someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your cat, look no further. Gotham City Cat Care is the answer!

Sally S.

I absolutely love my cat sitter Cassandre! She came a day early to pick up keys and meet my cat. I'd only gotten my cat a few weeks before having to leave town and was really nervous about leaving him, but Cassandre was wonderful and kept me in the loop every day with text, photos, and videos. My cat bonded with her super quickly and I'll absolutely be calling her up next time I need a sitter!

William H.

We recently used Gotham City Cat Care for the first time and are in love with Deb. She is so attentive to our cat Madison and responsive to a nervous cat parent. We really appreciate being able to leave Madison in the care of someone so excellent. We can't wait to use Deb again for all of our future visits!
