Fijian was everything I could hope for in a cat sitter and MORE! She took excellent care of my babies and sent extremely detailed updates after every visit. She is an adept caretaker and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her very capable hands. I’ve already booked her for another weekend!

About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. I absolutely love caring for my animals and it means the world to me to see them healthy and living their best lives! I currently have a 70+ lb pitbull of my own and spend alot of my free time volunteering at an Animal shelter in NJ. Most of that time is spent walking large (sometimes reactive) dogs, so large breeds and strong pullers are not a problem! I am available for drop ins and walks Monday- Friday (and certain weekends). As long as i do not already have a booking, i am usually available too help my fellow animal lovers with their pet care needs! I never leave animals unattended outside ( including fenced in yards). I also assure that all food and treats being offered are approved by the pet parents which i am working with. I also am very careful about keeping dangerous/toxic household items and plants far out of reach of any animals!

About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Hero 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

Stephanie was the best. She went over and above to care for my two cats. One of my cats is very scared around strangers but Stephanie managed to coax him out of hiding and became his friend. Stephanie sent me awesome photos of the care and play time she had with my boys. She also made sure my house was secure after each exit. Hands down, I would not consider anyone else to care for my two cats. Thank you Stephanie.

About: My love for dogs have grown as I got older especially when i started to be relied on by family & family friends to walk there dogs. & from there on I’ve been loving it since. I’m currently working a part time & able to work my schedule around which makes room for me to focus on other things to do outside of my job, which had brought me the idea to take pet care more serious. When it comes to pet care I take into consideration on how loved these animals are by their owners & treat them like my own. I am more aware of my surroundings & to what’s going on for my safety & especially your pets safety as they also have a home to get back to.

William is one of the most caring and responsible pet caregivers I know. He genuinely loves animals and has years of experience raising four cats and one dog. His home is full of warmth and compassion for pets. What impressed me the most was when he helped his cat deliver a litter of kittens—he handled everything calmly and knowledgeably. William is very gentle with both cats and dogs, and animals naturally feel safe and happy around him. Whether it’s playing, feeding, or giving medical care, he always goes the extra mile. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

Stephanie was the best. She went over and above to care for my two cats. One of my cats is very scared around strangers but Stephanie managed to coax him out of hiding and became his friend. Stephanie sent me awesome photos of the care and play time she had with my boys. She also made sure my house was secure after each exit. Hands down, I would not consider anyone else to care for my two cats. Thank you Stephanie.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I love taking care of them and many people have asked me to come feed and play with them. I will love to help you out too! Im currently in school and working, but i am making time to come play with these animals! Weekends are easier for me, but can always make time during the weekdays too! I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to help make your animal feel at home. Coming to your house will be perfect, since they are more comfortable at home

This is an animal lover if I’ve ever seen one! I’ve never seen so much love, care, and knowledge gone into animal care in a very long time. You will not regret allowing them to take care of your pets.

I appreciated the care and sensitivity that Julian had towards our dogs. It’s never easy leaving your pets with someone else but, when I got back, they were just as happy and carefree around him as they were around us. Very comforting to see your pet with someone that makes them comfortable.
