“I can't recommend Brett enough as a dog sitter! They are incredibly responsible, caring, and truly love animals. Whenever my dog stays with them, I know he’s in great hands—he gets plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. Brett keeps me updated with photos and messages, which puts my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, Brett is the perfect choice!”

About: You know when you walk into a friend's party and there's someone in the corner playing with the pets? That's me! My love for animals has been a constant throughout my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets from 3-week-old kittens to 15-year-old seniors, including my family’s rescue senior cat. I’ve also taken on house-sitting responsibilities that included juggling care for up to 2 medium sized dogs and 3 cats at a time. Whether it’s administering special care to senior pets or providing playtime and cuddles to younger ones, I’m experienced in meeting the unique needs of every animal. I can't wait to become best friends with your pets while you’re away, and send you pictures, videos, and any other updates along the way! Living in the Morris County area, I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care a natural fit. I work from home 3 out of 5 days each week and am almost always home on weekends, so I’m available for regular check-ins, walks, or even last-minute visits. Whether it’s a quick drop-in after my commute from the city or extra cuddle time during a lazy weekend, I’m here to make your pet feel loved and cared for (it’ll brighten my day too!). Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I'll always make sure to learn what their favorite toys are and provide a familiar environment to ease their transition while you're away. Before your trip, I’m happy to do a first-impression visit to ensure your pet feels comfortable and gets to know me. If they need extra cuddle time, I’m more than happy to provide it :) Although I don’t currently have a fur baby at home (we’re planning to adopt in the next few months!), my apartment is extremely pet-friendly. With plenty of walking paths and a small dog park, it’s a great environment for your pet to feel at home. Rest assured, they’ll be in safe, loving hands while you're away.

30. Isabella P.


“Bella did a drop in visit with our energetic 8 month old pup and was very quick to respond to the inquiry, communicative, trustworthy, and professional! We did a FaceTime call prior to the visit and I felt very comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. Thank you so much Bella!”


31. Carla R.
“Carla is one of my dearest friends. She has watched my babies while I was on vacation. She is a great caretaker for my pups. My babies loved her and she loves all animals. She is the sweetest person. She is responsible with my babies feeding times and always keeping me updated with how they are doing. My dogs have allergies and she always remembered to give their medicine and my one dog has seizures and she very attentive to his needs. Carla is the best with them. I would choose her every time.”

36. AJ

“We used Amy’s help with drop in service while i was traveling and husband was working. She was amazing!! Our normally skittish cat warmed right up to her! She came on time each day and sent the cutest pics and even a video. He seemed very happy. I would highly recommend Amy. She was delightful!”


37. Brandon M.

“I can’t thank Brandon enough for taking such good care of my Yam! I booked 3 drop in days and boy was my pup loved and cared for! Even from the meet and greet, I knew Yam was going to be in good hands. Brandon had many questions to get to know Yam, and made sure he was comfortable. Brandon sent many pictures and updates through the app which put my mind at ease while I was away. I would highly recommend Brandon and his services!”

39. Connor D.

“Connor took phenomenal care of our two cats with care and concern like the boys were his cats. He also helped out with garbage pick up and snow removal on top of being an amazing sitter. Our young cat was totally smitten, he doesn't ask for uppies from anyone.”


40. Anna S.
“Anna has had a lifetime of experience with dogs, cats, and fish. She is responsible (feeds and walks at appropriate times) and affectionate (gives pats and belly rubs as needed). She is a great choice as caregiver!”
