“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾”

About: I am American Red Cross First Aid Certified I am insured & offer weekend and some weekly pup play & stay. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with supervised playtime, cuddles, attention, and a safe place to relax while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable and connected during their stay. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a calm, comfortable environment with lots of companionship. I’m available most weekends for boarding, daycare, and play stays. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, walks, cuddles, and rest throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and at home. I have two friendly toy poodles and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Dogs in my care can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy a calm, loving environment. I also understand some dogs prefer their own space, so I’m happy to provide separate quiet time away from my pups when needed.
“Best decision was choosing Stacia J as Stack’s pet sitter!! Stacia really cares about (& for) your pup. She sends updates & pics during their stay & of course is open to any of your dog’s special requests. Her house is lovely and her yard and setup are perfect for boarding. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that along with all the playtime (or nap time depending on your dog’s needs) they also get morning & evening walks. My dog doesn’t usually smile for pictures but was all smiles during his time with Stacia J and family. He’ll be back for sure and it’s a comfortable knowing he’ll be in excellent hands. For anyone unfamiliar with the area.. Stacia J is in Linden close to the Cranford boarder.. easy access from most major highways”
“This was the first time since my boys were born in 2018 that they were dogsat by anyone else other than family and it was perfect. Bonnie and her family were fantastic. They kept my boys comfortable while I was away for a week and kept in constant touch to give updates and adorable photos so I could see how they were doing throughout the day. 100% would rebook in the future. Thanks Bonnie and Yee!”
“Our pup had a great stay at Lucas and Kathrine’s! We were constantly updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. It looked like he had a blast! Our pup will definitely be staying there again!”
“Yanina was so welcoming. Thank you so much for taking care of my little princess! She sent pictures and kept us informed of how she was adjusting. I came back to a happy, energized puppy with good behavior. Definitely will rebook her all the time. Thank you!”
“Natalia and llian were amazing! Roman looked so happy and playful while he was there. The have great communication and will send cute photos/ videos throughout the day. I will definitely book again!”
“Wonderful family to leave your 4-legged babies with! They sent us updates and photos every few hours. Our Frenchies were well cared for and clearly loved while they were in their home. Nicest couple and both their parents so 6 adults to spoil your pooches! Fenced in yard and they are able to go outside safely and have run of their home. Looking forward to using them again in the future.”
“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”
“Satyajit took great care of my dog Scooby! This was my first time boarding Scooby and Satyajit provided constant updates with photos and videos of my dog which put me at ease!”
“Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“Riley was very calm when I picked him up. After the meet and greet Riley went into your home with his tail wagging! That impressed me . I love the way you introduced him to your home and to the other dogs . We both felt very welcome . Appreciated the photos and the wonderful care you gave to Riley . First time I wasn’t nervous about leaving him thank you so much”
“It was our first time using Rover and Jessica F.'s stay for our Bori (15lbs, Cavapoo). She not only sent photos and videos several times a day throughout the stay but also took very good care of our dog. We were worried that Bori wouldn't want to come home after the wonderful experience with her and her family. The fenced backyard she has is very good (Bori played a lot in the sun and the yard) and she has a separate stay area for the dogs. I will definitely ask her again for her help in the future! Thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover for our dog. Marlene was patient with myself and our dog! She was so easy to communicate with. Very responsive! She would update us regarding our dog’s stay daily and our dog seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. So glad we found her and we would certainly use her again.”
“Gurdeep took great care of our fur-baby. This was our first time boarding Hailey and I was so relived after speaking to Gurdeep during our meet and greet. She is very warm and nice and has wonderful loving home with 3 lovely kids. She kept us posted throughout Hailey's stay. We will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her!”
“Seureon & Dongdwan were great hosts to our dog. They took great care of him for a week and sent us frequent updates, which always puts us, dog owners at ease. They were very timely and responsive and our dog seemed very happy and content. We will definitely use them again.”
“Couldn’t be happier with the care Bean received while we were away! Bean is a senior dog who requires daily medications and a little extra attention, and Lisa took care of her with so much compassion and professionalism. She kept me updated every day, which gave me total peace of mind while we were on vacation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!”

Dhruvit watched my sweet Angel for the first time while I was out of town for the weekend. Things didn’t work out with the first two set of sitters I tried, so now I am always hesitant to leave her anywhere. I received pics/updates throughout her stay, which helped me to stay at ease. I can tell Angel had lots of fun exploring in the backyard! Thank you and your family very much for your kindness, we will be back! 😁

I couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! From the moment I met her and her husband, I knew I could trust them. I’m extremely picky about who I leave Princess with—she’s my baby! But they went above and beyond. I got daily photos, videos, and even thoughtful little gifts when I picked her up. Princess was so loved and cared for—it was clear from their experience (she was a vet in Colombia!) and their passion. I’m beyond satisfied and relieved to have found someone I trust in New York. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further. I’m so grateful for them, and Princess had the best time!
Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy. I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!
Overall, had a good experience with Peter! Aside from a minor communication issue, Peter was a good doggie sitter for Yumi. He appeared to follow instructions regarding feeding/walking and kept me updated throughout Yumi’s stay. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times and Yumi seemed to enjoy her stay. Would book with Peter again!
Thank you so much Marissa for making Smores feel At home the best way you could , tho his anxiety took over his personality you were so patient with him that he was a bit better towards the end of his stay with you . Thank you again also with your guidance and professionalism throughout your service, along with great communication. Truly appreciate you ❤️
