“Emanuela is nothing short of caring and professional. She is always on time and flexible with your schedule. Our dog, Tucker, absolutely fell in love with her and looked forward to their weekly walks and visits. We will definitely be hoping to use her again in the future!”
“Sarah has been great!!!!! She has taken care of our fur baby while on our mini moon! She has made sure to feed him, give him his medication, and take him for walks.”
“Dependable and caring, Elizabeth made sure my 2 cats who liked to stay hidden were well care for, she gave me the security of knowing she was with them to relax and enjoy my time away.”
“Sabita went above and beyond to help us. When our other sitter ended up going to the emergency room, Sabita responded to my panicked Rover message within 2 hours, and made time for my pets. She was communicative, punctual, and followed our directions. She additionally boarded our dog for a few hours during a home sale Open House, then helped find the escaped cats (loose in the house following the Open House) and still came back for a night time visit. She let us know that there was a leak in the kitchen, and helped lay out towels and a bin to catch water. Sabita couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Natalie is absolutely wonderful! I reached out last minute & she was able to accommodate us. We received lots of updates & photos which we were so appreciative of! 100% will be using her in the future- highly recommend if you’re considering to book- do it!”
“Emily did a fantastic job dropping in for my cat Mika while I was away. She made sure to send me daily updates and pictures with how Mika was doing. Mika is typically hides while visitors are in the house, but over they days she warmed up to Emily and gladly accepted treats. I will most certainly use Emily again to watch over Mika.”
“Maria was FANTASTIC to work with! She was communicative and we felt very safe and secure leaving our dog while we went on vacation. She provided feedback and pictures after each visit, and gave our dog extra love and attention which we appreciated! We would 100% choose to work with her in the future!”
“It was hard having to leave our puppy Tucker (3months old when Chris first met him) with a stranger, but Chris has been amazing with him, giving us peace of mind knowing that he is in good hands. Very reliable and trutworthy, Chris has always honored the appointments we've made (visiting him twice a day) and followed the instructions we've left him. Tucker is relaxed and happy when we get home and we have to thank him for that. ”
About: I have two German Shepherds, one Belgian Malinois, one Shepsky, and this Jack Russell mix that completes this motley crew. I am a nurse who finds solace and stress relief in spending time with and caring for animals, especially dogs. I’d love to help you out with your pups if they need walks or playtime. I have cared for medically fragile dogs in the past and will follow your, or the vets, instructions as needed. I have over one acre of land for your dogs to play if they are to board in my home. I am home most of the time in the summer. If you have any questions, just ask! I’m a school nurse now, so I’m off during the summer months and holidays. I run errands sometimes during the day, or step out to walk dogs. I’m not gone for long. My schedule will change during the school year, but I will be home late afternoons and weekends. If I’m dropping in only, I’ll play with your pup and clean up any messes they’ve made or follow your instructions. If I’m taking them for a walk, I take a few minutes to get to know them if they haven’t met me before or play to say hi. Water bowls are cleaned and refilled before I leave. Big dogs subject to bloat - I let them calm down if panting after a walk before watering/feeding. If they’re in my home, they’re treated like royalty along with my pack. Introductions are done outside so that there’s no tension. Everyone is playing and the meeting is casual. I look to you for information on their personalities and care. I have an invisible fence for my dogs. If your dog is familiar and trained, I can provide a collar. I’m also experienced and trained with the e collar if that’s how your pup was trained. It will never be used as punishment.
About: We’ve had many dogs from small to large over the last 18 years. We’d love to take care of your pets so you can unwind and unplug. We are around most weekends over the summer to walk/ board your pets. During the week, we work full time but can stop in before and after work and before bed. We will treat your dog as one of our own. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a large fenced in backyard for exercise and play. Our 3 kids will tire out your pup. Unfortunately our daughter is allergic to cats so we can’t board them but we’d love to drop in to feed/ play with them.
“Bridget took very good care of my cat, Marley, while I was away for a week. She kept me updated with information on what she did and how Marley was doing. She also included multiple pictures for each visit, which was very nice. I definitely recommend Bridget if you are looking for someone to look after your pet while you are away!”
About: I have love and deep respect for animals, my experience is based on taking care of both dogs and cats and nothing would make me happier than having the opportunity to make income doing what I like. I am willing to take care of any kind of pets, always open to suggestions and to improve every day more. My house does not have a closed yard but I am extremely careful to avoid any incidents, I live near a lake so we can have very pleasant walks. I am at home full time so I can stay with them and give them excellent quality time. Play, time to pee and poop and just walk. My yard is open, I am extremely careful and I always walk on a leash. My Labrador is very playful and loves dog company 😍
“Taylor was absolutely incredible with our two cats from daily updates to pictures. Our one cat has diabetes needing insulin twice a day. She came for a meet and greet and was absolutely wonderful with both our cats. I would highly recommended Taylor especially if you have animals with medical conditions!”
About: Dogs have been part of our family ever since we were little. I couldn't imagine our home without the dogs that have been part of our lives growing up. My parents have always been heavily involved in animal rescue and volunteer/run a shelter near their home. Every pet has their own personality, their own story to tell - and we just love to be a part of their lives. We work from home so we're always here to take the pooches in the yard or for a nice walk at the large park right next-door to our home so there's plenty of space for them to get out and play. We have a fenced in yard, so your pup can enjoy being outside with a little bit of freedom. We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet. Our kids love to play with the dogs outside, so you can count on extra love and plenty of fun. Our pup, Haley, passed this winter after 14 wonderful year of being a part of our family and we'll be sure to treat your dog like they are as well. My husband works from home, so he is always here to play & let the dogs out and loves the extra company here in his office. We have a nice big fenced in yard, so plenty of space to run around or just enjoy the sunshine for a bit. We're also right next to a nice park, perfect for our walks. We have extra dog beds and plenty of toys because we always want the pooches to be comfy and have lots of fun.
About: I grew up with dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I love caring for them they’re my favorite animal. I helped my sister when her dog gave birth both times. I do this full time. I am always home. There is a dog park across the street from my house so they can run around if they would like. I have my own bowls, crates and doggy beds. I have lots lots of toys as well so your dog will always comfortable with me.
About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and commute to work from your location. I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾
“Archie absolutely adores Gisselle. When I returned, Archie was relaxed and happy, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell that Gisselle had truly bonded with my dog and treated him like her own.Thanks Gisselle,I am sure Archie is looking forward to seeing you again.”

Arianna P.
“Ari has cared for my two cats multiple times. While my partner and I go away for weekend, or sometimes week long, vacations, Ari has properly managed feeding, playing, and cleaning up after our cats perfectly while maintaining cleanliness in the home (ex. cleaning up litter or hairballs.) multiple times. In times of emergency, Ari has been perfectly capable of taking our cats to the vet, and I would entrust her to do so. There was one instance where one of our cats got sick (vomiting) but luckily it wasn't a situation where she had to take her over. Still, Ari handled the situation very well. Knowing Ari for about 12 years now, I know she LOVES animals. She was always talking about the dogs, chickens, peacocks, and rabbits on her family's farm. She also used to take care of my late bunny for me on occasion. She's very gentle and empathetic. You absolutely will not be disappointed choosing Ari, especially if you have communicated special requests clearly.”

Taylor did a wonderful job watching Heidi and Klara while we were away. She patiently coaxed a nervous and shy Klara to become friends and played with Heidi and her favorite toy. She accommodated a change in our schedule with grace. Everything was left in a neat and orderly condition. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her as a cat sitter.
Jaylene is just fantastic!! She took care of my family’s 2 cats while we were on vacation, and we could not have found someone more caring, thorough, or communicative. It is clear that she cares deeply for every pet she watches and because of this, she always goes above and beyond to get the job done! It is such a great comfort to know that next time we need a caretaker for one of our pets, we will have Jaylene :)
Maria was FANTASTIC to work with! She was communicative and we felt very safe and secure leaving our dog while we went on vacation. She provided feedback and pictures after each visit, and gave our dog extra love and attention which we appreciated! We would 100% choose to work with her in the future!
I booked Victoria last minute due to a cancellation, and she was incredibly accommodating! She took amazing care of my dog Luna, keeping me updated throughout the entire stay. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Luna’s well-being. I highly recommend Victoria for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
