“Morgan was responsive and kept us informed throughout her visits and was patient and kind with our cat. Morgan is trustworthy and goes the extra mile to make sure our needs were met.”


“Great care & service. I hired Bridget last second, for a holiday and she was quick to reply, very reliable and provided great care. My Australian Shepherd was happy & enjoyed the walks. Great experience and will definitely hire again. Thank you Bridget.”


“Nicole was great! She was super easy to work with when we needed someone in a last minute pinch. Archie loved her and was giving kisses within minutes of meeting her. I highly recommend Nicole!”


“Jill was wonderful taking care of our dog with drop-in visits while we were away. Communication was great and she took care of our dog like she was her own. We are so glad to have found Jill and hope to book her for all of our needs going forward!”



“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”


“Marilin is an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond. My dog is a little scared of new people and she took time to do an additional meet and greet, made my dog feel comfortable and was a great communicator.”


“Elizabeth was fantastic. She was so reliable and Buddy adored her. Her daily updates were thorough and the pictures she sent made me smile. I’ll definitely ask for Elizabeth’s help again without hesitation.”

She also takes an abundance of great photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Karina’s services.”


About: I grew up with dogs that were part of my family, which nurtured my love for animals. As I grew older, I took care of my friends' and family's pets, gaining valuable experience. I believe that pets are wonderful companions, and I am committed to caring for them with the attention they deserve. I understand the unique needs and affection that our furry friends require. I’m available to start pet care on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm , and I can accommodate daily care as needed. I lovingly ensure they are fed on schedule, provide plenty of playtime and exercise to keep their spirits high, maintain a clean and comfortable environment through grooming and litter box care, watch over their health with a gentle eye, and offer companionship to make them feel cherished and secure.


“Katie was amazing with Smudge! She sent tons of great pics and really took the time to hang with him, not just a quick drop-in. Smudge is a total goofball, and she totally got his vibe. He looked happy, relaxed, and totally at ease while we were gone. Katie has a super warm and friendly presence, and we felt completely confident leaving our guy in her care. Would book again in a heartbeat!”

At home I have 2 friendly dogs, a small shitzu/poodle and a lab mix.


About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 5 years, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I offer dependable, gentle care tailored to your pet’s needs—walks, feeding, medication, and more. I treat every pet like my own and understand the importance of trust & communication. Whether you're away for a few hours or days, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved. I work part-time and attend school in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day and weekends for pet sitting and drop-in visits at your home. Whether it's a midday walk or keeping them company while you're away I’ll be happy to help! I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel safe, familiar, and relaxed. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or maintaining routines. I always respect your home, lock up securely, and make sure your pet feels calm and loved while you're away. I send regular updates to give you peace of mind and treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)

About: Animal lover and experience with raising an anxious & reactive puppy. No matter the weather, this pup required all types of energy release. With patience and without judgement, I am here to help you and your pooch maintain zen throughout your chaotic life schedule. I rescued a 6 month old female American Bully / Pitbull Terrier puppy from Saint Huberts in Madison. She was flagged for her behavior because she struggled with anxiety, leash reactivity and characteristics associated with resource guarding. All dogs (all animals) deserve a loving home regardless of their looks, age, breed, sex, and emotional baggage. Nola, she was not like a typical puppy. Training her was, and still is a difficult journey, but with great trust and reward. I understand that every single animal has a unique learning style that works for them. At the end of the day, they all share the same foundation of care requirements. Love, Patience, Trust, Discipline and Respect. I live in Morris County, with reliable transportation, a doggy seat belt, and knowledge of local walking trails. One of my favorites is the Central Park of Morris County. At all times I am equipped with treats, water and poop bags. For a 1 hour booking, I can take your dog to a local trail with your request/permission. Dog walking and pet sitting is my part time gig. I am available on most Weekends and I am available weekdays in the early morning and afternoon/ evening. Please reach out to clarify your schedule needs! I currently do not care for pets in my home. I do not bring pets to play with my dog at the home. However, I can care for your pet in your home by playing indoors and feeding meals.

About: My blend of experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. Ensuring pets of all ages receive the care they need. I offer flexible routines to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel secure and loved while you’re away. My approach is hands-on, compassionate, and tailored to each pet, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free. Whether it’s an early morning walk or late-night snuggles, pet care fits smoothly into my day—because, for me, it’s more than just a job—it’s a passion! My top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for each pet, tailored to their specific needs. I respect your pet’s territory and try to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, and any special activities they enjoy. I follow specific instructions for any medications, dietary needs, or behavioral concerns. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know your pet is in good hands. If your pet feels anxious being left behind, I make sure to spend plenty of one-on-one time with them to offer reassurance, whether that means extra snuggles or quiet time together.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and extensive experience in pet care, I am committed to providing a loving and safe environment for your furry family members. Growing up with dogs and cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I offer a range of services, including pet sitting and dog walking. My approach combines professionalism with a genuine love for animals, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. You can trust that I will treat your pets as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, happiness, and well-being. I think that my own three pets - two cats and one Great Pyrenees dog - would attest to that! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets! I'm currently working full time, but available to take care of pets on mornings (before 9am) and evenings (after 5pm) as well as weekends. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am mostly working from home, so please contact me if you are interested in care outside of these hours and we can discuss options. For dogs, I am happy to feed, provide walks and play time/enrichment. We can tailor the visits based on your pet's typical routine so that they are as comfortable as possible. I can also crate or leave the dog within a designated area of the house as I come and go as requested. For cats, visits typically include fresh food and water, a bit of enrichment and scooping the litter box. I can adapt the routine as needed based on your kitty's personality and preferences.

Sheree H.
“Sheree graciously offered to care for my beloved pet, recognizing the difficulties I had previously faced when leaving my furry friend in a dog hotel during my absence. Upon learning of my situation, she went the extra mile and selflessly volunteered to watch over my pet at no cost. I provided her with detailed instructions, particularly regarding the administration of medication and the use of medicated shampoo during bath time. Sheree's compassion shines through in her interactions with my dog - she is both nurturing and playful, resulting in my dog wagging her tail joyfully whenever she sees Sheree. Moreover, Sheree maintains open lines of communication, regularly calling me to provide updates on my dog's well-being.”

Olivia V.
“Olivia is upbeat and posative. She is a kind, conscientious, and responsible caregiver with great communication skills. Her love of animals and life in general is very apparent and I highly recommend her for any of your petsitting needs.”


Raechel P.
“Raechel is one of the nicest, sweetest, caring, hardworking, honest, reliable, and all around wonderful people I have ever known. Her LOVE for animals started at a very young age. We were unable to have pets when she was younger, so she used to walk our neighbors’ dogs and spend hours playing with them as well. She also read to dogs at our local library through a program called "Paws For Reading", which allowed her to further interact with animals (especially dogs). She did eventually get a beta fish and was very excited to finally have a pet that she could love and care for. Growing up, Raechel’s LOVE for animals only increased. Once she visited a stable with a friend and while she was interacting with the horses, all of the dogs there flocked to Raechel and surrounded her; each patiently waiting for his/her turn to get hugs and rubs. Raechel has her degree in agriculture and is looking forward to obtaining her veterinary degree as well. If you love your pet (family member) and believe they deserve the best love and care you can provide, your obvious choice is future vet and AMAZING person, Raechel! p.s.(She has also adopted a very precocious and special tuxedo kitty by the name of Forrest)”

Yveth K.
“One of the things I appreciate most is Yveth Keener is excellent communication. She sent me regular updates, pictures, and even videos of my Cat Biru while I was away. It made me feel like I was right there with him. Knowing how much she cares about keeping me informed made it easier for me to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about my Cat. I recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
