Gianna was very attentive and caring for our dog. It was a pleasure having her taking care of our fur-baby princess for four hours when we were out for dinner! Very happy and appreciate her help. Five paw prints!

Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???

Mary was super great with my puppy / service dog in training. She did lots of activities with her and had lots of space for her to explore and have fun in, she also sent me updates and followed specific instructions for her care. Will definitely be hiring her again! 🩷 🐾

Juliana was GREAT with my dog Tobey! He was happy and well-cared for. Juliana has great communication, sending pics and updates, answering questions as needed. I hope Tobey gets to hang with her again! She even gave Tobey some of her cat’s toys because he loved them! Top rating!!

Kim really came through for us at the last minute and was immediately responsive and flexible. As a dog owner herself (x2!), she was understanding of Smoke’s needs, made sure he got walks in, and sent me regular updates. Smoke had such a great stay that when I came to pick him up, he didn’t want to leave! So grateful for Kim and will definitely be calling her again when we need a place for Smoke to stay in NJ!

Ruby is very responsible, patient and attentive with our two dogs. We have used her multiple times to stay at our home while we are traveling. She sent daily updates and pictures via text which eased our concerns while we were away. Our dogs love their time with her and we highly recommend her to care for your pet!

Our dog had a great 3-night stay with Janice! She went for walks in the woods, snuggled with Janice’s son, and was extremely well cared for. Happy girl upon return. Thanks, Janice!

Ali and his family, including their dog, were great! Ali set up a meet and greet for our dogs to get to know each other, which was much appreciated. He asked good questions, was accommodating, and sent photos and a video of my dog in his home. Very happy!

Aliana dog sat for me and her dog and mine loved each other. She was really great with my baby and very attentive. She sent me updates and updated me throughout the stay. She made sure my dog had all of the exercise she needed and gave her lots of love and cuddles. I think her love for dogs is what makes her such a great sitter.

Jessica and her family were the BEST. I am very particular about who watches my dog as he is my service dog and baby. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated numerous times throughout the day. Couldn’t have expected anything more from this experience! :)

While my Coco stayed with Alex & Adam, they updated how Coco is doing every day with pictures and movies, which really helped me figure out Coco's status. From the movies that Coco was playing with their children, it looked like that Coco really enjoyed staying with them.

Brielle has watched Frank multiple times and is a wonderful dog sitter. I always feel at ease when I am away knowing Frank is being loved for and cared to just like he was with me. She is very easy to communicate with and sends constant updates and pictures so I dont miss him too much. Frank is always excited to see Brielle again and even gets sad for a short time when I pick him up. She conducts herself in a very professional manner and I would highly recommend her for anyone feeling a little worried about leaving your little one behind. 5/5 STARS!!!!
