“Joanne was amazing with our doggo. He tried to go on a hunger strike but she completely got him to eat…he had lots of walks and love!! Would absolutely have him stay with her again!!”
About: Hello Fur-Parents! I am an aspiring naturopathic veterinarian, with a desire to save animals lives and offer them a second chance at life! I treat every single animal as my own baby. I currently own two toy yorkies, bunnies, birds and chickens. I would be delighted to walk, petsit, or board your cat and/or dog! I have plenty of time to give your pet(s) the playtime, outdoor fun, and affection they deserve! I am dedicated to making sure the animals are happy! I have a huge property of 5.5 acres and two small yorkies to keep your pet(s) company! I have a lot of space, so if your baby is anxious or doesn’t respond well to other doggies i can also separate them from each other. I can give them as many bathroom breaks as needed. I can also walk them around my backyard and around my neighborhood so they can stretch their paws 🐾
“It’s been a while since our Whiskey Boy has been around other dogs since two ACL surgeries. He has an amazing time… Jason sent us pictures throughout and took great care of our boy! Will absolutely reach out next time!”
“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”
“Steven is very passionate and caring with pets and we really liked their place and very well fenced and good backyard play area for dogs. He is very proactive in sharing pictures and updates about our dog during his stay. I will 100% recommend Steven for boarding your pets with him. Really hats off for your dedication Steven. We can now happily plan for our future vacations, leaving our dog in your safe hands 😊”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“My wife and I constantly say how lucky we were to find Lupe. He always goes above and beyond when Roxy stays with him. Thank you for always treating her as if she is your own dog.”
“Esther was amazing with Mia! Esther sent me daily updates and pictures. Mia is in a single dog home and she got along well with Esther's dog. Mia was rescued on August 24, 2026 and Esther and her care of Mia was a HUGE relief when I went away for the weekend! I am looking forward to Mia's next stay with Esther!”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat, Milo! She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures every day, which made me feel so much better. She even made a daily chart of everything Milo did, including how he was eating and playing. I could tell she really cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Milo again. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“It was truly amazing to find such a wonderful sitter for my pet, Frosty. Both Bonnie and her husband they took great care of him and kept me updated every day and night with photos, walks, meals, and all the little details. Seeing Frosty happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciate their kindness, communication, and genuine love for pets. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Suneetha provided amazing care to our fur baby Rocky and gave us daily updates. This was our first long trip away from him and knowing he was being loved and cared for like her own gave us peace of mind. We would book with Suneetha again!”
“Ronit is GREAT! Let me start with full appreciation of her taking on our last minute request. She’s been so responsive and understanding the whole time. Dawkins had a great time staying with her. She also provided very timely updates during our trip that was just the right frequency to comfort the owner but not disturbing our oversea trip. Cannot recommend her more!”
“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.”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“I am so grateful to have found Samantha! My recently adopted dog, Brownie, has some anxiety around new people and in new places. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Her apartment is so clean and cozy and truly a dog's paradise. Her dog, Cocoa, was so friendly and welcoming to Brownie. We got frequent updates during his stay and Samantha is super quick to respond. She is also very flexible around pick up and drop off. I truly cannot thank her enough for watching our sweet boy and making not only him but also our whole family feel comfortable while we are away by knowing that he is safe and happy!! Brownie didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick up because he was too busy playing with all the fun toys! He will be back soon! Thank you again, Samantha.”

We couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog, Daisy, received! She was treated like one of the family, and it was obvious she was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Joanne took the time to meet Daisy beforehand and get to knpw her routine and doggie quirks! Knowing she was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind. We highly Joanne and will definitely use her again!
Had a great experience with Sarah and Michael!! They were so easy to work with and provided so many pics throughout my dogs stay! You can tell they really care about your dog and want to offer the best possible stay they can. I will definitely be using them again!! Thank you both for taking such good care of Roxy ☺️
Tiffany was great! Her dog Cash was a perfect playmate for Bailey and her family, especially the 3 year old, was adorable with Bailey. The physical setup is amazing- a huge fenced in yard which connects to a fenced in wraparound deck. Lots of freedom with total safety. I will definitely use Tiffany again if we are in the area.!
If I could leave 6 stars, I would! This was our first time using Meghan and she was amazing. We planned to have her watch our dog from Wednesday to Monday for a long weekend getaway, and then a snowstorm canceled our flight and we ended up being stuck away for 4 extra days. Meghan was so helpful and offered to go buy extra food for our pup since we had only packed him the amount he originally needed, and made us feel so comfortable leaving him there for what turned out to be such a long time. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell my dog was having SUCH a good time. Usually when we pick our dog up from a sitter he is crying and squealing with excitement to see us… this time when we finally picked him up, he literally tried to go back into Meghan’s house and did not want to leave. He’s been depressed ever since we brought him back home… slightly heartbreaking for us LOL but a testament to what a great time he had with Meghan!
Danielle was very friendly, accommodative, and kept us informed on Coco’s status, on a timely manner. This was the first time for Coco and Danielle made sure he had a very good experience. Danielle was always responsive to any questions. Overall, a 5-star experience.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Annandale home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Annandale.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
