I cannot recommend Meg enough! She took incredible care of my senior pup Cooper, treating them like family while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which really helped ease my mind. It was clear my pup was not only well cared for but truly happy—whether going on walks, getting bones and treat, or just snuggling up. Very grateful for all she did to keep my pup calm and comfortable.

About: Ive had a passion for animals of all kinds ever since I was little and was the go to if friends or family needed help. I can help with cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs . Im currently in school for dog grooming and can offer baths. Let me help your pet to feel and look thier best. I currently just moved back to my home town of Bordentown. I am currently looking for work so i am able to devote my time to caring for your pet. Ive been a nurse aide for the past 13 years. Once I find a job i plan to update my days and hours but hope to find steady clients so I can continue my passion of pet care. Every pet has different needs and likes i will adjust to the needs of the pet parent/pet. I can come up with ideas once I meet the pet but can also go by a list of the pet parents needs.

Emma took excellent care of our two dogs while we away. She followed all instructions and was very responsive both before and during our trip. We came home to two happy pups! I would definitely book Emma again the next time we need an overnight sitter.

Ryan was great! She stayed with our "pups" (as she cutely called them) for almost a week. Right from the start she sent texts, photos, and a sense that all was under control. Meeting her before the stay both her experience as a student working towards going to vet school and as a horse owner sealed the deal. We'd happily use her again.

This was our second time using Karren -- this time we had her stay with our pup in our home for 2 nights. Karren was very caring with our dog during thunderstorms and also was very helpful with making sure our home was secure during it. We appreciate her partnership!

Alexis was a great sitter for our two big pups! She spent a lot of time with them and sent daily photos! She followed all the feeding and sleeping instructions and we came back to a clean house! She even left treats and cupcakes for us to give the pups on our return!

We just came home after leaving our dogs with Nora for the first time, and I can say it was an overall great experience. She communicated well and quickly, followed our detailed instructions, kept great care of our dogs, and left our home in immaculate condition. She was reliable, trustworthy, and had a positive impact on our dogs' well-being. I was a little nervous as it was the first time we had worked with her. She sent a pic of the dogs with her the first evening that put me totally at ease. Highly recommend. - Mike

About: Pets have been around for my entire life! Ever since I could remember, i’ve been caring for all types of pets! Between my childhood dogs, my turtle, and my friends and families pets, it has become more than just a hobby, pet care is one of my genuine passions!!! I’m currently in between jobs so I will have all the time in the world to play with some puppers!!! I’m very mobile, so i’d be able to come on weekdays and weekends! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. At my home, I provide a clean and pet-friendly environment, fresh water, regular feeding on schedule, daily exercise, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on each pet’s personality. I also make sure they have a cozy space to rest and follow any special instructions such as medications or dietary needs. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This may include feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, and giving attention and affection. I’m also mindful of home security, like locking up properly and bringing in mail if requested. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free until their owner returns.

Abby was very accommodating and caring watching our high energy puppy for several days. Most importantly, we came home to a happy dog. Abby handled an unexpected medical issue promptly and professionally and we felt confident and at ease with our dog in Abby's care. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and we would definitely use Abby again in the future.

This was our first time using Rover and Michaela did an excellent job. She was interested in the dogs and particularly vigilant about sticking to our care routine considering one of our dogs has some medical needs. She was communicative and sent us updates each day. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience for our babies.
