“Emily was amazing with Maverick. We just moved to the area 2 weeks ago and Mav had never been with anyone but his original pet sitter in Florida. He immediately went to Emily and her dogs and felt at home. Thrilled to have found Emily and the Mav had a peaceful family weekend away! We will absolutely be using her again and again!”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“Jason was attentive and attuned to Fennel and sent us lots of pictures across his extended weekend stay. He has a lovely house and wonderful large fenced yard for the pups to play in. We’d board Fennel again with him next time we fly out of Newark!”
“Kristie is amazing! She is an absolute sweetheart and took such great care of our girl during our trip away. She is kind, understanding and offers all the flexibility and reassurance you may need when away from your fur baby. Fiona will definitely be back! Thank you Kristie!”
“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”
“Sharon took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures to let me know that my girl had adjusted well and was having fun with her and her family, definetly kept my mind at ease. Sharon gave her medication at the times that I had requested. She is reliable, responsible and caring! Thank you, Sharon”
“Mario always enjoys his time with Marleny and her family. Other dogs he is able to play with and fenced yard to run around. He welcomed himself right in this past weekend at drop off. We will keep using Marleny to care for our pup.”
“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”
“Yuli and her family were amazing and welcomed Buddy into their family with open arms. We got tons of updates, pictures and videos and it was clear he was so happy and relaxed with them. I appreciate them so much and will definitely use her again!”
“Britney took wonderful care of Nova! From the moment we picked her up, Nova looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Britney kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Nova received plenty of attention and care. We are very happy with Britney’s service and would absolutely use her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“Highly, highly, highly recommend Joan! From the moment I dropped off my cat I was completely at ease because he immediately made himself comfortable, which he typically doesn’t do. Joan was great, and sent a lot of pictures and made me feel secured with leaving my baby with her! Thank you so much, Joan, and again I highly recommend booking with Joan!!”
About: I have had a dog since I was a kid. When I got married , we adopted our first dog Sonny from a rescue. Shortly after that we took one of the puppies from my sister in laws litter, Bandit. They both brought such love and happiness into our family and were devastated when we lost them both. Looking for a job where I could give my love to other’s animals. I currently am unemployed, but looking to be a full time dog sitter/ dog walker. I am a stay at home mom, hoping to bring some extra income to my household. My typical day starts at 7:30 with school drop off for my son and drop off at 8:40 for my daughter. With pick ups between 2-3:30. Once school ends my hours become more available.
“My dog can get anxious in new environments. Sarah and her family created a warm, inviting, and fun atmosphere where Frankie was able to relax and not be stressed. I won’t hesitate to reach out to her in the future. Thanks Sarah!! ?”
“Carole was so great with our 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs. It was very comforting not having to worry while on vacation knowing she was taking great care of them! They can be a handful sometimes. Carole sent pictures and an update everyday”

This is the second time we have trusted Emily with our dog Jenny and it was just as great as the last time! Emily made sure that Jenny was comfortable and helped ensured that she adjusted well. We also received many pics of her while we were away which was an extra peace of mind. She’s the best!
Sarah is my go-to sitter for my dog anytime I go out of town for about 2 years now. I have used her multiple times and I'm always satisfied with the quality of care and service she provides. I recently used her in May for week and last week for a trip as well. Will also be using her in October. I highly recommend!
