Giana was great! She took care of our two pups for 3 days while we were out of town and was great with communication. One of our dogs is more skittish and people shy and Giana was very patient and willing to try all the tricks to get her outside. I would book Giana again!

Brandi was absolutely wonderful with our three cats during the seven days we were away. Each of our cats has a very unique personality, and she took the time to understand and accommodate their different needs for pets, playtime, and supplements. She kept the litter boxes fresh, the water bowls topped up, and even wiped down the counters for us. She easily navigated our tricky parking situation and was thoughtful enough to offer to water our plants while we were gone. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. Highly recommend!

Mill Hill, Trenton, NJ, 08611

About: I've fed dogs based off their schedules that their owner informs me, walks with them, sometimes runs so they can get some more exercise. I am not a trainer, but I will give them attention and I love to follow the rules. I work full time in New York, so my availability can vary. I'm looking for a flexible schedule, sometimes can be steady in the weekday, depending on the month. I have a townhouse in Mill Hill area, and a park which is at the end of the block. I live by myself so I do not have housemates. I do not have a large yard, but I do dog sit for my best friend in New York at least once every other month.

Sabrina is very gentle and loving with Susu, I've never seen my cat warm up so fast to a stranger. Sabrina also does an amazing job at effortlessly giving him his required medication, offering him treat rewards, and keeping him happy by giving him enough attention through pets and play time. She's great at making Susu feel less lonely and comfortable, with the way Susu loves sitting on her lap. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!

Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!

Highly recommended for a cat sitter! Ashley went above and beyond during her two week drop-ins for my two cats. She is very attentive and kept in touch with me immediately if she saw an issue at the house or had a concern about the cats themselves. Also, she handled the minor chores like mail and garbage easily AND she was kind enough to refill all of my backyard bird feeders during my time away. I will definitely use her again!

Rhonda has been absolutely fantastic! She kept me informed and sent pictures through the 2 weeks. She was clearly invested in making sure both my pups were eating, getting snuggle time and the different levels of exercise they each require. If you are looking for a temporary dog mom to replace you - Rhonda is GOLD! We are truly grateful for her frequent communication, her ability to roll with any ‘hiccups’ (dog knocks over everything in the bay window;), and just genuinely get to know their personalities and cater to them. We cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough!
