“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”

“Maryna is a great sitter. She loves dogs and was so sweet to my dog Blossom. Blossom adores her and is so excited when she shows up. Maryna is also a very kind person and easy to deal with. She stays on task and devotes her time to the animal. She follows feeding directions and walking directions. I highly recommend her. Rena”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, and I even have my own dog Toby who is 13 and my absolute baby. I regularly walk my tenants dog and my neighbors dog twice a day whenever I don’t have sports. Families have always relied on me to walk, feed, and give their pets tons of love and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe and happy. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m fully available every Sunday and most of Saturday. I plan around my sports schedule, so weekends are the perfect time for me to give dogs my full attention. I always make sure I have enough time to walk, play with, and care for each pet. I always put safety and trust first when caring for pets. I follow each owners routines, use leashes on every walk, and make sure pets are never left unsupervised. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I keep the environment calm, clean and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own 13 year old Toby, giving them lots of attention and care so they always feel safe and loved.

“Stefanie was amazing! She took great care of Ziggy. We got pictures daily. She kept great communication with us during the week we were gone. We will definitely be asking her to sit for Ziggy again!”

About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.
“Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!”

“Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.”

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!
About: Growing up with all kinds of animals has made me comfortable taking care of multiple pets at a time! Being an avid animal lover I take pride in bringing comfort to owners when needing to sit their pets! I’m currently working full-time, so I have plenty of time during the weekends for boarding as well as during the week any time after 6 o’clock! When caring for pets in clients homes I always feel comfort in a well fenced yard and comfy beds for the animals to have a relaxed time!
“Jennifer did a terrific job of taking care of my two dogs while I was gone for the week. She stayed at my house and sent me plenty of photos of the dogs so my kids wouldn’t miss them. I highly recommend her services to others, and I look forward to using her services again in the near future.”

About: Our pets give us unconditional love, so I’ll make sure they feel that same love when I’m around. Whether it’s going on a walk, playing with their favorite toys or simply taking care of their essential needs, I am committed to providing a service that reflects the joy they bring into our lives. Currently, I’m working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available for drop-in visits and walks early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings if needed. I can easily adapt into their unique lifestyle by conducting an initial meet and greet, getting to know their preferences, and tailoring a routine in accordance to their needs.
“Tiara is amazing! Tyler absolutely adores her. She’s completely attentive and really understands what puppies need (I’m learning so much from her). I feel so comfortable leaving Tyler in her capable and careful hands. Excellent communication. Couldn’t be recommend her enough. She’ll be helping us out regularly over the next few months. Thank you Tiara!”

“Cassie was an excellent sitter for our dog Bear! It was a slightly last minute booking and she made time for a meet and greet. She sent pictures throughout the stay. And when our flight was rerouted due to weather, she stayed extra hours beyond what we had booked. She truly went above and beyond. Thanks Cassie!”

“First I like the start of saying JoJo was amazing! They messaged me all kinds of updates and amazing photos. I definitely worry a lot about my fur baby when I’m away, and never had to worry the whole time JoJo was watching Brina. I will definitely be using them in the future!!!!!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience for many years with many different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and even baby deer! I am the go-to pet sitter for most of my friends. I promise to care for your pet like my own ❤️ I would primarily be available on early mornings, evenings and weekends since I work full-time as a pediatric physical therapist. I can occasionally do mornings starting in the fall. I am happy to accommodate your needs the best that I can. Reach out with any questions or concerns. Eager to meet your furry friend!
About: I spent the past 4 years running a successful dog-watching business in NYC with my partner. We have since relocated to Northern NJ and intend to provide the same high quality services for pets here. I grew up with animals - dogs, rabbits, birds, mice, turtles and fish. I would’ve had cats too if members of my family weren’t so allergic. As a teen I volunteered with friends at our local animal shelter and chose to work with the cat population because most of the volunteers wanted to walk the dogs. Most recently I trained my own dog - starting from when she was 6 weeks old. I used a combination of training techniques (including crate training) to successfully potty-train her, teach her to walk on a leash and eventually teach her to hike and run together off-leash. My dog is now 3 years old and I bring her to my grandmother’s assisted living facility. She interacts with and plays appropriately with other dogs, pets, adults and children of all ages. She is a secure dog and adaptable to any environment. I believe my dog’s calm and friendly demeanor is a direct reflection of my skills. I’m prepared to handle dogs across the spectrum of sizes and energy levels. I live close to many beautiful parks and trails, some with dedicated areas for dog-play. I will closely follow any instructions you have for feeding, exercising, sleeping and socializing your precious pet. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule so I am able to dedicate the appropriate time and attention to your pet easily. I will treat your pet like part of my family if they stay with me. I have a very calming presence that animals seem to react really well too. I am happy to watch your pet at your place if that works best. I provide an engaging, safe environment no matter the location.
“Melissa was super with my two pups while we were on vacation. She communicated constantly with me, was flexible with her schedule and took excellent care of the pups. She left the house spotless and even started laundry! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.”

Finn did an excellent job with our dog Felix! He did a meet and greet ahead of time and communicated quickly about arriving at the house, interactions with Felix, and any needs and concerns. He managed multiple medications, meals, and walks and Felix was a happy boy when we got home. 100% would recommend Finn! We were so comfortable with Finn and his professional care of our boy.

Trisha was terrific! She was very friendly and great with updates and photos. She took very good care of our 12 year old dog. She was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful with household tasks like watering plants, collecting mail and recycling while we were away. Our dog was very relaxed and comfortable with her. Highly recommend! Added bonus she gives great pet massages!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with our French Bulldog — so loving, attentive, and affectionate. Our dog felt safe, happy, and comfortable the entire time we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pup were in such good hands. She even came by ahead of time to meet her, and they bonded instantly! Pretty sure our dog already misses her now that we’re back from vacation. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking her again!

First time we use Jenette and couldn’t be happier. We returned from our trip of 5 days to find our cat Huckleberry healthy and happy. In fact, it seems she was an expert playmate because he has been super playful since we’ve been back, leading us to his toys etc. We highly recommend Jenette as pet sitter.

Regan took great care of our dogs while we were out of town for the holiday weekend! ❤️ She kept us informed and sent us pictures to show us how our dogs were doing. She even sent us pictures of our hamster. 😊We will definitely have her sit for us again if she is available! 😃

Meghan was amazing with Romeo! She followed all of my instructions perfectly but also went above and beyond to make sure he felt loved and comfortable while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing he was in such caring hands. She was also wonderful to communicate with and truly a joy to work with. I could tell Romeo adored her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!” Highly recommend!!!

Woizero took care of my dog for about a week and her communication was 10/10! She came by before the day to meet us and I felt so comfortable leaving on my trip knowing he was in great hands! Thank you so much for taking care of my pookie. Would definitely book her again in the future!

Bridget was the best!!! We went to Italy for 9 days and were super nervous to leave our fur babies behind but she took such good care of them as if they were her own! She cared for our golden retriever puppy like a pro, including when he developed a hot spot the first few days we were gone and she easily took him to the vet to get him medicated and get everything all cleared up! She also took care of our two cats with such love and caring. She left our house spotless and sent us texts and videos daily checking in - her communication was amazing. Highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her in the future!!
