Jennifer is a amazing animal carer she was very patient and loving with my cats and they can be a handful as they been heavily spoiled. She communicated everything I needed to know about my boys and made me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to book her again.

Marlee is very friendly and reliable. I liked that she was very communicative through the entire process. She dropped in on my cat, Majik, a few times while we were away on vacation. Although, Majik is very skittish and would hide away during the times Marlee dropped in, she made sure Majik was fed and that her litter was clean, which is what I needed her help to do. I would definitely book her again in the future!

About: Since I was a child I’ve been in love with all animals, particularly dogs and cats. I was 13 years old when we rescued our 12 year old Shih Tzu, Blondie. She lived to be 19. I learned at a young age how much care an elderly dog needs and I loved every minute of it. Our family have continued to get Shih Tzus, Lily just passed in 2021, she lived to be 17 years old. I now have Tarzan. I have and can watch dogs and cats of any size, I’d love to continue giving my love and kindness to other dogs and cats, and help make someone’s day a little easier! I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is very flexible. When I am booked to house sit or dog walk, potty breaks or play, I make it a top priority. I stick to the owners instructions. If he or she has a routine they follow with their pet I follow it and if I have any questions I never assume, I always ask. That includes house sitting, walking their pet, and helping with potty breaks and play dates. I’m incredibly patient and understanding, I believe it is a relationship that I’m building with the dog or cat, as well as the owner. I give a lot of care and love and I always leave follow up notes of how the day went.

About: I’ve been crazy about pets my whole life—raised with two dogs who taught me love and duty, now sharing my days with a feisty cat and keeping up with my family’s three silly pups. I’m here to pamper your furry friends: epic walks in the reserve park, tons of playtime, big cuddles, or just kicking back together. Cats? I’m their brushing and snuggle champ. Baths or meds? Show me how, and I’m all over it. I get a kick out of every pet’s little quirks! Note: my cat’s a lone wolf, so I can’t host at home. Drop me a line to chat about your pet—I’m pumped to give them the fun and care they’ll totally adore! Every end of the day during the week, except the FRIDAY. I'm totally free on this one for you. If you need help during the weekend, we need to talk first. I live for animals and their happiness, with a sharp eye for what they’re feeling. I pick up on stress signals and tweak my care to fit them perfectly, creating a peaceful vibe where they can just be themselves. Whether it’s a burst of play to lift their spirits or a quiet moment to ease their mind, I tune into their world and make it better.

About: Long time pet owner and animal lover. I currently have two cat sons - Cosmo(9yr) and Gibson (5yr) will treat your pets like my own! Hi! I’m available for weekday evening walks and drop-ins after 5 PM in the Cranford area. I work full-time during the day, but I genuinely look forward to spending my evenings caring for pets. ⸻ I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I know how important routine is for pets, so I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m very mindful that I’m in your space and caring for something really important to you, so I always respect your home and pay attention to what your pet specifically needs to feel comfortable. Whether they’re super energetic or more on the shy side, I try to meet them where they’re at. I keep things clean, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and you’ll always get updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I adopted my first dog when I was 9. I took on the responsibility of her care for the next 15 years that she was alive. I have cared for other dogs alongside her as well. My experience with them includes feeding, walks, cleaning cages and outdoor bathroom instances, administering medicine, brushing teeth, bathing, playing, and lots of cuddles! I’ve never been afraid to get my hands dirty and make it my point to respect the boundaries of any animal in my care. I’m lucky enough that I work from home currently, so I have plenty of time between meetings to feed, walk, and play with your pets! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for each pet I care for. In both my home and my client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, playtime, and rest to ensure the pet feels secure. During walks, I prioritize safety. I believe in the importance of using proper leashes, avoiding dangerous areas, and tailoring the walk to the dog’s energy level and needs. I also keep the dog’s space clean, offer plenty of affection and mental stimulation, and provide regular updates to the owner so they always feel informed!

About: My name is Christine and I've been working in pet care- dog walking, pet/house sitting and even dog grooming for 5+ years. I worked as a dog washer at In and Out Grooming in Garwood and am an avid dog walker. I've been a dog owner, and find pet care to be the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I love all breeds, and though I am small in stature I love walking big dogs! I can provide nail clippings and also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits. I have a very flexible schedule, outside of pet care I am pursuing a career in theater. Extremely flexible schedule! I have free daytime hours, while working on a theater schedule. Great for daytime walks and drop ins. Weekends available, don't hesitate to request! I have house sitting experience to keep your pets company while you're away! I've worked with many breeds and personalities of pet in the place they are most comfortable, happy to just spend time with them and adapt to their routines. I also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits.

This was my first booking with Brittany for drop-in visits for my cats, and I will definitely be booking her again for future trips! I was very stressed leading up to the trip about finding care my them, but was immediately put at ease after talking to her. She took great care of my fur babies and had amazing communication. She picked up on their quirks so quickly and they loved her. Strongly recommend!

Love the notes that Steven leaves at the end of each visit to tell me about the progress of his interactions with my shyer cat and what he does with my more outgoing one! Makes each time I go on vacation a less stressful knowing my cats are in good hands and the notes and photos are always one of the highlights of my days away!

This is the second time we are using Sara’s service, so this review is for our previous experience as well as this experience with Sara as our cat sitter: Sara is not just a cat sitter, she’s a care taker in general. She would keep the place clean, spend time with our cat Titan, send us prompt updates with pics and vids of Titan. She communicates very well and is a very kind person. We left a list of things to do for Titan’s care - she went above and beyond. We trust her so much and she is the ideal person you’d leave your precious animals with. You can always count on Sara!
