“Svetlana is amazing! She was very responsive in our communication from the start and my cat liked her instantly. I feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She knows a lot about cats, which has been very helpful to me. I highly recommend her!”

“Cassidy is a wonderful, experienced, thoughtful dog sitter. I returned from my trip and my mini-bernedoodle Zoe was clearly happy and content from her time spent with Cassidy. I highly recommend Cassidy for watching your pup.”

“Bridget...terrific. She did a series of drop ins for my anxious/reactive dog, Gio...he does not warm up easily to new people. Bridget took great care of him, taking into account his somewhat guarded manner, and let him get used to her, to the point where he was happily accepting pets from her. Bridget was timely, good with communication and photos during the visits, and accommodating. I would heartily recommend her for taking care of your pets.”

“Karina is an excellent animal caretaker and highly responsive communicator! I had peace of mind that my two cats were being tended to and provided affection during my vacation. She also takes an abundance of great photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Karina’s services.”

“Emily did an excellent job updating me on my cats while I was away. Followed instructions and was very communicative during the time I was away. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”

“This is our second time booking Jackie to care for our dogs and bunny. So we are repeat customers! She did a great job managing our high energy teenage puppy and his little antics with our other dog. We felt comfortable with her and confident that our animals would be well taken care of while we were gone. We would book again on our next trip.”

“Laci made my trip home so much easier with peace of mind for my pets. She met with my fur babies and she listened to everything I had said about Cheryl with her allergies and Reynolds being a playful boy. She took care of any small issues, cleaned the litter and took photos of them. I will definitely rehire her. 100% excellent”

“Vanessa and Jeremy were wonderful with Milton! He loves treats and playtime and they gave him lots of both- even sparking his interest with a different wand toy. I will definitely book with Vanessa in the future.”


“Paola is so kind and compassionate. She writes amazing notes to us, letting us know how are cats are doing. She is excellent at communication and we love her pictures of our cats”

“Ryan was great with our very energetic five month old German Shorthair Pointer. He spent lots of time outside with him and sent lots of pictures. He was flexible with adjusting timing when our plans changed slightly.”

“Madi and Abby were amazing! Our two young cats were so comfortable around Abby and that shows how great she was with them! She followed all instructions, sent tons of pictures that made us so happy while away, and even was extremely patient and communicative during a situation where our electric front door locked wouldn’t open! Would absolutely recommend and book again! So happy we found them!”

“Sam took great care of my 2 senior dogs. She came exactly as we arranged and was very communicative. Would ask Sam to take care of my dogs again without hesitation. Thanks Sam!”

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal
“Elizabeth and her husband were excellant cat sitters! Lulu is a shy and anxious cat with some bathroom quirks but they were able to handle it with no issues and Lulu even came out to play once or twice! I am really grateful for their professional care of my cat. ☺️ thank you again!”


About: What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I have experience with responsibility heavy roles like nannying, which has taught me how important routines, communication, and trust are when caring for someone else’s loved ones. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all personalities and energy levels, including pets who need extra patience, structure, or calm handling. I’m also attentive to feeding schedules, walking routines, crate training support, and keeping pets engaged through play and exercise. I make it a priority to follow instructions carefully and keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs active walks, gentle companionship, or consistent care while you’re away, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. I am flexible and open to both weekday and weekend bookings. I prefer morning and afternoon visits/walks, but I can accommodate evening care depending on the request. I’m currently a recent graduate from Montclair State University and am working toward my master’s degree at Rutgers in nutrition, so my schedule may vary slightly depending on school and coursework. However, I’m committed to being reliable, consistent, and communicative once a booking is confirmed. I’m available for: Morning check-ins and walks Midday visits Afternoon care Occasional evening bookings I do my best to respond quickly and accommodate last-minute requests when possible. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, litter box care, and any special needs or medications. In the client’s home, I am respectful of the space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their personality whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a calm and quiet environment. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, positive interaction, and structured care based on their energy level and routine. For cats, I understand the importance of space and consistency, and I always allow them to approach on their own terms to build trust. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured and connected while they are away. My goal is always to care for each pet as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover with a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your dog like my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I’ve grown up around dogs all my life and have pet sit for many friends over the years. I’m currently working fully remote at home and looking for a side hustle. I have lots of time during the day to walk some dogs! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I only treat dogs with the upmost care, how I would want my dog to be treated.

Roselie was wonderful with our cats. We could immediately tell she was very experienced and knew how to make them feel comfortable. She paid close attention to all the instructions and followed everything carefully. We would absolutely have her take care of our kitties again. Highly recommend!
Cassidy stopped by to let our pups out in the day and spend a little time with them. She responded quickly on short notice and accommodated a few last minute schedule changes without any problems. Our pups looked happy to see her in the pictures she sent and we had peace of mind! We would definitely recommend Cassidy!
Madi and Abby were amazing! Our two young cats were so comfortable around Abby and that shows how great she was with them! She followed all instructions, sent tons of pictures that made us so happy while away, and even was extremely patient and communicative during a situation where our electric front door locked wouldn’t open! Would absolutely recommend and book again! So happy we found them!
