I can vouch for Mark Blanchard a.k.a. the Catman @ The Cats Meow Services, permanantly owns a key to my house and has an alarm code. That's how much we trust him! Have been using him for about 8 years now.

We've used Mark Blanchard for eight years, with four cats. He came to our apt downtown and now comes to Bergen-Lafayette. He gives pills and other meds, fluids for renal failure, brushes them, feeds canned food, disposes of litter, brings in mail and newspaper, etc.

He even came the day one of my cats was euthanized to say goodbye a couple of months ago. He is wonderful. He also has people who cat sit themselves and who help out when he's unavailable. Here's his email: catman@catsmeowservices.com

CatmanJC is a great cat sitter. We've hired him several times, and highly recommend him. I think our cats would, too, if they could. He's reliable and professional, and also clearly loves cats!

Rycor... I run the Cats Meow services which is a pet sitting service exclusively for cats. I spend around a half hour a visit playing and keeping kitty company. I also do feeding and litter box change as well as meds if needed.

You can contact me at Catman@thecatsmeowservices.com for more I formation

Good luck!

I've never met a cat that does not like this. It's only a wire with 2 cardboard bits on either end. Most stores sell for 5 dollars. On sale, you can pick it up for 2 or 3 bucks. The person who invented it must be rolling in $ as there are about 60 million domestic cats in the US.

Off topic: I don't know why -- but this cheap & perhaps kind of dangerous toy is really the thing cats love most. It is merely few twists of cardboard & a spring wire.

We are looking for a cat sitter, never hired one before. Can anyone suggest a reliable sitter?

Has anyone used Tails on Trails?

Thanks!

Cat Man Mark Blanchard has posted in this thread -- his handle is CatmanJC.

We just had him care for our four cats while away for a week. He is absolutely amazing. He really knows how to handle cats and when he came to interview the cats it was obvious that he really cares about them. He sent us email updates as well as left us a really detailed note card upon our return. It was so amazing to come home to a clean house, he did such an amazing job! Usually we always come home to a litter box mess or other sort of nonsense. I simply cannot say enough good things about this man's services and would recommend him ten times over again!

His number is (201)657-8510.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I am going with Skyline Tails for this trip, they do seem great. It's great to have options, though!

Call Skyline Tails and ask for Liz! She is fantastic - she watches our two cats frequently when we travel. 201-209-1770

Can anyone recommend a cat sitter to check in on my cat while I am out of the country for a couple of weeks? I don't want to board her away from home. Any tips would be great. I have read about someone called "The Cat Man", or Mark Blanchard, but I don't know how to get in touch with him.

Thanks!

For anyone else looking for an alternative to boarding your cat, I'd like to recommend Scratchin's!

Scratchin's is a new Jersey City-based cat-care & play service run by local professionals who will come visit your felines whenever needed to feed, play with, and clean up after them.

We're reliable, affordable, and available seven days a week for anything ranging from a quick check-in for food and water to a half hour of love, grooming, and playtime. We're also loving cat-owners ourselves, so we know what happy cats need!

We'll visit most areas in Jersey City -- just let us know!

You can visit us at http://www.Scratchins.com

$10-15 depending on whether it's a company or an individual sitter usually.

I charge 10.00 a visit personally, I am not sure about other services.

You can expect to pay between 10 and as much as 18-20.

Hi - just dialed Croft's number and it's out of service. I need a cat sitter for this weekend in the downtown area. Any other suggestions - thinking of asking at the vet's office. Thanks.

Another option is "the Cat's MEOW Services" which because of demand has expanded from just Hoboken and downtown Jersey City to the Heights and other areas of Jersey City plus a few in Manhattan.

I just DO CATS and if I can post this link have a few reviews on Kannekt.com:

http://www.kannekt.com/12/69pets.htm

I have also heard good things about the other pet sitters listed here. Just a suggestion to them... if you want to add a few more clients post an "ad" on kannekt and then maybe ask a few clients to post reviews.

Good Luck.

+The National Debt!

Lara's (Croft's) "Dog Day Afternoon" is who I would call!

Unless you want your pet screaming "ATTICA -- ATTICA!"

Croft, you don't service downtown do you (hamilton Park -cat sitting visits)? I'm just looking for some options as I'm going away for two+ weeks overseas end of August and a friend is coming to feed my older cat once a day but not sure at this point if she can do the full 17 days. So just want to have a backup plan....

me too - http://dogdayafternoon.weebly.com

I'm from the heights and live near Journal Square now. I have a few cat clients in the Heights now, can provide references, and also work at Liberty Humane Society. I can provide references if needed.
