“It's such a comfort and reassurance to know Geoff and Jenny are taking excellent care of our two cats when we're away. They're attentive, patient, and can deal with our senior boys' special food and medication needs without issues. I'm so happy we can count on them!”


“Michael did a fantastic job with drop-in visits to take care of our 3 cats while we were gone on vacation! When our usual sitter was unavailable, I was nervous about having a new person take care of them, but he was incredible! Michael was very professional and communicated well the entire time with daily pictures and detailed updates. The cats are generally nervous around new people, but he made them feel comfortable with all their favorite things and treats. I was also happy he stopped by to meet the cats and to let me show him around before the first visit. Would definitely have Michael care for the trio again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for three of my own, including two French Bulldogs and a senior Mini Schnauzer. I’m experienced with different temperaments, energy levels, and the extra care that senior dogs need. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I work during the week, but I’m available on weekends with plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I can provide attentive care, playtime, walks, and a consistent routine to make sure your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once and understand how to create a safe, calm environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times.
“Andrea was excellent with my senior dog Leo. She agreed to a meet and greet to get familiar with Leo. For the drop in, she came early, provided pictures and updates on his food/water intake. She made sure he was taken out to do his business and carried him due to his age. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Ashley doesn't just take care of our two high-maintenance cats - she makes sure everything in the house is safe, secure, and comfortable while we are away! I know it's all in good hands when Ashley is here.”

About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pups. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every furry friend like my own. I can also help with basic training, giving medication, and providing extra snuggles to make them feel safe and happy. I’m available most days for dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I work in the city on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (home by 6:30 PM), but all other days I’m home and can provide flexible care throughout the day. Weekends are also open for longer walks, playtime, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks or play, and ensure they’re never left unattended in unsafe situations. I’m experienced with leash handling, keeping dogs calm around distractions, and making sure they feel happy and secure in my care. Whether at your home or during walks, I treat every pet like my own.
“Nicole was great once again! She was easy to communicate with and I came home to a happy cat. Nicole even went back to my house one day because I got an alert from the litter robot that something was wrong. She’s very prompt in her responses and updates, which makes it easier for me to leave knowing my cat will be well taken care of 😻”

About: I have taken care of pets and been a pet owner all of my life. I’m a true cat lady but love all animals, especially any type of bulldog. My husband and I both work full time, but rest assure when you leave your pet with us, they will be comfortable during the day and be taken care of morning and night! My hubby usually is home by 3/4pm latest. Fenced in yard for your dog to run around! We will walk your pet as instructed Our 4 year old English bulldog Griffey loves playmates!
“Enis was great with Penny! He visited multiple times daily while I was away and kept in touch the whole time, sending pictures of each visit. It was clear from her pictures and our meet and greet that they got along great. He was really flexible as my plans changed and I’m so grateful. When we got home Penny was happy to see us, but she was also amazingly calm, which I take to indicate she wasn’t stressed because she felt safe and cared for. I’ll definitely look to Enis first when I need care for my girl.”

You can feel confident knowing your furry friend will receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and a safe environment every step of the way.

About: I have cared for pets, both my own and the pets of others, my whole life. I make sure pets feel safe, I follow their cues, and love to play. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, I’ve given medication, and know how to properly support when lifting a dog so as not to hurt them. I have cared for scared dogs who need gentleness, and sick dogs who need comfort. I believe in positive reinforcement and though can say “no!” with authority, I am against any physical punishments. I have de-escalated the advances of scared and angry dogs. And my pockets are always full of treats. I currently have a wide open schedule except for when I’m dropping my human child at school and picking up again at the end of the day. I would love to fill that time in between with playing with doggos and kitties. I am my dog’s mom, best friend, and humble servant. I have slept in the guest room with her when she’s sick, I’ve been her personal body pillow when she wants super close snuggles and forgets shes enormous and lies fully on top of me like a very wiggly weighted blanket. I have been her protector when another dog scares her and she needs to use my body as a shield. She doesn’t like the way her dad or human brother open the back door, so she feels confident in coming to wake me up despite other humans who could do her bidding. And I comply because I love her and I would do the same for any other pet in my care.
About: I grew up in the Philippines from when I was born till I was 19. And for those years we have always had a dog in the house. Most at one time was 6 dogs. All are trained and well taken care of from the moment they were born or adopted. Giving them their best lives is all that they deserve from us, these furry friends will love us unconditionally. It’s my job to make sure that they feel that same love back. I am currently working part time on a few jobs around the Montclair/Bloomfield area. I plan to return to school for my doctorate but for the mean time caring for pets have always been a love of mine and I will do my very best to make sure your little (or big) buddies get the attention they require. Depending on the breed of dog and their individual energy levels, their playtimes would vary from either indoor activities like tug of war, sensory activities like training their sense of smell with treats, or more outdoor backyard stuff like fetch, making sure all their zoomies are taken outside before they cause a mess inside the house. Making sure that each pet is well stimulated and given and good amount of food and water after tends to get them in a lot calmer mood as the sun begins to dim
“I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !”


“Stefanie was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment she started, we felt completely at ease. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos throughout her stay, which meant the world to us. She truly saved us in a last-minute situation and was beyond accommodating and flexible. It was so clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and in the excellent hands. We highly recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐾💛”
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”

Kaitlin went truly above and beyond for us. During this visit she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t drive, yet instead of canceling, she arranged for a family member to bring her so our cats would still be cared for. We were incredibly grateful for the extra effort and thoughtfulness she showed. Kaitlin has demonstrated her dedication and commitment time and again, and we feel very lucky to have her caring for our cats. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

I book with Karen all the time. She knows what she is doing and she is very thoughtful. There was a power outage when I was gone and she thought to tell me while I was away. She was concerned about the automatic feeder. She also made sure that the cans I had for Sheba were put aside for recycling.
