Top rated East Orange house sitters
“Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!”
“Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.”
“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”
“I can't recommend Anya enough! They took amazing care of my fur babies while I was away. From the daily updates and adorable photos to the genuine love and attention they gave, I felt completely at ease knowing my babies were in good hands. Reliable, communicative, and kind—I'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Siara was lovely and we will absolutely have her back. Even though it was her first time taking care of our two large pups and she was plagued with frequent storms and an unexpected limp, she handled each challenge with grace and communicated with us well! Highly recommend!”
“Tara does a great job caring for Winston, he can be a bit picky with strangers, but he’s always happy to see her and Tara is so great about being patient. He’s a senior dog with one eye, but Tara lets him guide the walk and is very gentle with him. She’s my go-to caregiver for Winston when I have to travel and she always does a wonderful job!”
“Cannot say enough! Marli was wonderful. After meeting the first time, we knew Bowie would be in great hands. Regular updates throughout the week and came home to a very happy dog! Would 100% recommend Marli to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much”
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
“Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.”
“Beth was awesome! Lola was very happy when we returned from a week vacation. She sent lots of pictures of our fur baby while we were away, she kept us updated on Lola's mood and spoiled her rotten just like we do. Lola has some seperation anxiety and Beth just loved her and made her scrambled eggs as Lola wasn't eating. Beth also took care of our home. She checked our mail and left it spotless. I would definitely recommend Beth and we will use her in the future.”
“Jestine was on time, friendly, personable, paid attention, asked great questions, and was generally a joy to work with. Our 70lb. Rottsky has Separation Anxiety and can be a handful, but Jestine was awesome with him. We hired her to house sit the dog, but she also calmed our anxieties about leaving him alone! It's always a bit odd to have a relative stranger in your home, but after just a few minutes chatting, our fears melted away. We look forward to welcoming her back again!”
About: My experience with animals is a wide range from puppies to senior dogs, Pups@Play & Cameron Animal Hospital are amazing places to gain enough experience to be confident and taking care of animals My schedule does fluctuate my current job hours do change from Mornings-Midday(7am-12pm) Midday-Late night closing(1pm,2pm-8pm) Because of this I do get freedom to request time off in advance so planning ahead isn't a problem My experience working with animals started at Cameron Animal hospital/Shelter working as a Vet technician being able to learn a lot of about animals dietary restrictions & maintaining a comfortable & sanitary environment for our animals really come into fruition once I found pups@play. Working for that company was eye opening on what kind of career I wanted to have and this is where I believe my first steps began into being able to open my own spot in Bloomfield
“Natasha was great with our Husky! She always replied in a timely manner and our pup seemed to really like her. The amount of pictures and updates that she shared with us was perfect. Definitely recommend!”
“Jade was our Superwoman to our 2 energy and overly needy (in affection) pitbulls. They had a great time with her, including many walks, lots of naps. Jade was professional, confident, capable and kept us amused with photos and videos. We will be contacting her again! Thanks Jade!!”
“Molly took such good care of our pups and our house as well. They were happy and relaxed when we got back and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were being taken care of. Thanks Molly!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.
About: I'm energetic, love dogs, caring and patient. I have a full time job, but looking to make a little extra money on the side. I have walked/sat/boarded dogs on WAG walker for more than 8 years and have cared for friends' and family members’ dogs in the past. I have always wanted one of my own, and hopefully will adopt a furry friend soon! I'm home in the afternoon and evenings from 3pm on. I can do weekends as well especially mornings for later risers. My home has a large yard that is mostly fenced, perfect for playing all day. I like exercise and hope to get a little partner to help me. I really love dogs and want nothing more than to care for yours. I currently work full time in the mornings. Can do afternoon/evening drop ins, walks, full day boarding. Open to sitting as well likely not longer than a few days. I have a mostly fenced in yard in a nice neighborhood. No other pets, kids, etc. there are some neighborhood cats a dog may encounter.
About: I have taken care of family and friends’ pets since my teenage years. I also owned my own dog but sadly she has passed. Still even though I will replace her I still enjoy the companionship and loyalty of all fury pals. I am flexible with my schedule as long as you give me a days’ notice to set myself up. Communication is key. Mon - Fri I am free after 5pm till 10pm and can sleep over if needed. Weekends if i have nothing going on can be available anytime just ask. I am good a following instructions. Just provided me with how you like things done with your dog and I meet expectations without any problems.
“Great with our dog. Our dog takes a while to warm up to new people and Jamia was patient and calm. She did a great job dog sitting for the weekend. She is reliable and communicative. Would highly recommend.”

Keith S.
“Keith has been a great friend to me and my pets for about 10+ years now. Whenever I had to go out of town or just needed someone to look after them for a few, he was always there and ready to go. My 3 dogs (a pekingese/chihuahua mix, havanese, and a border collie) were always in great hands with him and I could just see how excited they got whenever he came around. I love, too, that he could get them to use all of their energy so that by the time the end of the day comes, they were wiped out and sleeping like a bunch of babies! He was a lot of fun, too, for my cat, Cappi, even though she's usually so shy around others. He's genuinely one of the best friends and carers that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.”

We know we can always count on Jonny to take the best care of our special needs dog. He leaves no chance for worry as he sends multiple pictures every day. Been using Jonny for 2 years and will continue to do so and recommend him to anyone who will listen. I need to add, our dog is dog aggressive and requires special attention; it was not easy finding someone we felt comfortable with. If you want peace of mind for your special dog, please use Jonny.

Cassie was an excellent sitter for our dog Bear! It was a slightly last minute booking and she made time for a meet and greet. She sent pictures throughout the stay. And when our flight was rerouted due to weather, she stayed extra hours beyond what we had booked. She truly went above and beyond. Thanks Cassie!
After having last minute travel plans come up, finding Riley to house and pet sit was a huge blessing! I liked her instantly but most importantly, my pets loved her instantly. She is loving, and attentive and communicates regularly. She took care of my plants as well and took great care of the house. Left everything neat and tidy. I'll definitely rebook her for all my future sitting needs. She's truly an excellent sitter. A million thanks Riley!!
I booked Rachel last minute, and she was quick to respond. She’s incredibly responsible, respectful of our home, and, most importantly, she was so sweet with my puppy, Oliver. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, and he looked so happy. I’ll absolutely be booking her again whenever I need a sitter for Oliver! Highly recommend!
Deb was great with Pebbles (formerly Mogwai). Pebbles is our new 10 month old puppy. We adopted her about 1 1/2 weeks before we had to go away for the weekend so we were very concerned about Pebbles adjusting. Everything went fine. Deb understood what Pebbles needed and kept us informed during the weekend. It made for a smooth weekend. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone!
Keith was wonderful at accommodating our last minute weekend house sitting request. It was our first time being away from our pup after only 3 weeks of ownership. We explained the situation to Keith, and he came over for a meet and greet. Our dog took to him right away and put our mind at ease. Keith is personable, respectful and a clear dog lover. We look forward to booking with him again.
