Ray was amazing!! I needed someone pretty last minute & he was willing to come stay with multiple dogs at my house. He kept me updated with pictures and videos. I could tell the pups were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend & will use again! Thanks Ray (and thanks to your sister Anna also)

Wow. Svetlana is an absolutely wonderful dog-sitter. She came and watched my pup in my home for 6 days and they loved her. She sent me photos every day and little updates. I didn't worry about them once. Don't hesitate to book her for any pet care needs!

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and age ranges. Coming from previous experience at a dog boarding facility, I am trained in feeding, handling, and medicating dogs and have worked with dogs of various levels of aggression. Please note that I don't have any experience with cats. This is what I do, so I can be on-call 24 hours for the days that I am available. I have my own dog that I take care of, but I can usually fit your pet into my routine! Please keep in mind that, while I do accept same day booking for some services, any service requested with less than 24 hours notice will come with an additional 50% fee. I currently cannot board dogs since my apartment is not big enough to house more than one dog. When caring for dogs, I make sure to give them the attention and space they require. Please instruct me or provide me with details on how you want your dog to be cared for (and also if your dog has any allergies, I love to give treats!!!)

Jake is wonderful. We went on a trip for a week and he stayed with our older dogs. We got pictures and updates from Jake, he took them on walks and outside. The dogs are happy and the house was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jake. We never leave our dogs with anyone so this was a big deal and we can’t thank Jake enough for making this a great experience.

We will continue to book Ethan again and again. He took the best care of our large dog, checked in each day, and left the house in better shape than he found it. Super professional, kind, and our dog just loved him. Highly recommend.

I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.

River was really amazing with both of my pups, one a senior that needed oral medication and eyedrops. I had a last minute travel for a funeral and she was able to come on a short notice and be comfortable with all their demands. I really appreciated her photos and feedback after every check in, really thankful!

This is the second time we booked with Hannah. She is extremely reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. We needed to head out of town unexpectedly and Hannah respoded on very short notice and was able to help. We had peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of while we were away. We look forward to working with Hannah again and highly recommend her to others!

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs, from energetic and playful to shy, senior, or more independent pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including those who may need extra attention, routine, or patience. I’ve also cared for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, which has helped me develop a calm, adaptable approach to pet care. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I primarily provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe experience by following each pet’s established habits, routines, and care instructions closely.

About: I’m the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I’m a proud mom to a 20-year-old cat and an aunt to many other beloved pets. I love going on long walks, so let me know if your pet would enjoy coming along! I work from home and make my own schedule so I have tons of flexibility. I like to take long walks in the evenings and would love some company! I have a 20 year old kitten named Wilbur who is the sweetest. I understand that pets are more than just pets, they’re part of the family, and deserve to be treated as a family member. I also understand the importance of being reassured your baby is loved and well taken care of in your absence and will follow all provided instructions and guidance.

Roxbury Township, NJ, 07876

About: Ran a 50/50% owned petsitting business for about 4 years based in Essex County until I moved to Roxbury. My main roles were in-home pet sitting, daily dog walks, and Reiki, as I went to school in NYC and got certified in February 2024. Was a stablehand for a year before I graduated high school and used that experience to pet sit for people’s horses and livestock as well. Grew up with dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs, and have unlimited curiosity to learn how to take care of anyone’s pets in the ways they need me to! Work full time 4-5 days a week at Trader Joe’s but given flexibility. Would love to meet you and your pet, and I am open to any questions! Currently working a full time job 4-5 days a week depending on the week, but able to do drop-ins as needed if our schedules work. Very experienced in live-in petsitting and can visit the animals on breaks if needed. I’m used to bringing a duffel of essentials and some groceries for my stays. Along with extra poop bags, and plenty of love. Lol.

About: I have had experience with animals all my life, my mother is a service dog trainer and fostered many puppies while I was growing up. Later on we owned a hobby farm and I learned the care and work that goes into it. I have been through school and animal science programs, working with animals as a practice groomer. Now I work with all shapes and sizes of dogs as a veterinary assistant. I am working part time at a veterinary clinic and would like some additional work on the side. I love animals and working with them! I am good at adapting to new environments and new approaches when it comes to animals, especially ones that need some extra time and patience

About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Animals are a passion of mine, as well as traveling, music and nutrition. The slogan Eat, Play, Love is a spin off of my favorite Eat, Pray, Love. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I loved each & every one of them. When I got older I turned my passion into a form of income. I’m a former kennel-hand. I’ve been a house/ pet sitting for years now but just as a side job & usually by word of mouth. Now I’ve turned it into a full-time business. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s) ! I walk many dogs throughout the week. I housesit whenever someone needs me. Then at home, I help out with my family’s dogs. I’m really flexible, I’m willing to work weekends & holidays as well. I care for your furry friends like they’re my own, with lots of love. I pride myself on leaving a home better than I found it.

Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.

Emily was "better than advertised"..meaning that she went over and above to take care of Oscar. Emily asked all the right questions and was clearly attentive to Oscar's personality and behavior. Emily also has a family dog and this is a great asset when dog-sitting other dogs. We got frequent updates whie away for the weekend and we fely entirely comfortable with Emily staying at the house. We live on a private dirt road cul-de-sac with few houses, so while it is quiet and peaceful, it can be a little intimidating come nightfall. Fortunately our two closest neighbors have dogs and they were both willing to help Emily, if necessary. Very happy to have "discovered" Emily !
