“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”
“If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Best decision was choosing Stacia J as Stack’s pet sitter!! Stacia really cares about (& for) your pup. She sends updates & pics during their stay & of course is open to any of your dog’s special requests. Her house is lovely and her yard and setup are perfect for boarding. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that along with all the playtime (or nap time depending on your dog’s needs) they also get morning & evening walks. My dog doesn’t usually smile for pictures but was all smiles during his time with Stacia J and family. He’ll be back for sure and it’s a comfortable knowing he’ll be in excellent hands. For anyone unfamiliar with the area.. Stacia J is in Linden close to the Cranford boarder.. easy access from most major highways”
“Miss Nancy really helped me out in a last minute situation and took Frazier for the weekend. He was his usually happy self when I went to pick him up, today. Thank you for letting my orange buddy stay over and for the good care you gave him.”
“Jennifer and her lovely family gave Empire so much love and care while I was away. I will definitely be booking Jennifer again. She constantly gave me updates with photos and pictures, and she accommodated me in every way I needed. Empire also even came back smelling extra AMAZING ❤️”
“I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! I had to leave out of state unexpectedly and realized at the last minute that I had made arrangements for everyone except our family dog. Thankfully, Klainer stepped in without hesitation and made the entire experience stress-free. Klainer kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. I will most definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!”
“Jessica was great with Brody and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the day! Really appreciate her attentiveness and how she checked up with how everything was going while I was gone”
“Frazier enjoyed a second vacation with Jacqueline and her family. All of the videos and photos show how happy Frazier is interacting with the family and also his own little space for “alone time” which cats love. Thank you, so much, Jackie, for taking care of my buddy and for all of the love and attention you give him. I know he looks forward to another visit !”
“I had such a great experience with Ming, her husband, and two lovely dogs. As the first time working with Ming, I wondered if my dog would work well with them or they would be happy with my dog, Oliver. After more than 10 days of boarding Oliver with Ming, I realized that I sent Oliver to a sort of luxurious doggy retreat. Oliver came back more energetic and cuddly showing signs that he was truly loved by Ming and her family members. Ming has a lovely backyard as well as a private bedroom for a dog, and a small doggy tent where your dog can rest. For a second, I thought Oliver might want to stay longer with them!! I would highly recommend Ming to anyone who would need to board a dog!!”
“Melanie is great with our puppy, Romeo! He always loves going over there to see her, and she taught him to use the potty bells!! She is also very flexible, sometimes I have to pick him up late at night and she is very understanding! We bring him over all the time and will continue to!”
“Excelente servicio cuido muy bien de mi perrita le dio cariño compañía la chica es muy amable y te mantiene informada de los paseos y rutinas que realiza a tu mascota la recomiendo un 💯 %”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“Thank you very much for taking care of Oreo, and everything you did. I will drop Oreo with you guys always, Again thank you for the short notice. And really WE APPRECIATE YOU for taking care of her she was so happy.”
“Akshay seems to be very responsible for the care of out dog Billy. He likes him and likes playing with his dog which is something we were looking for: Socialization. He kept us informed of his activities which is very appreciated.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alison was wonderful to work with! She was kind, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I truly appreciated her reliability and thoughtful updates, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
This was my first experience at pet boarding, and it was phenomenal. Rosario took great care of my Frenchie for the 8 days I was away, and she kept me updated with pictures and videos. My doggie came back so happy when I picked him up. Thank you Rosario for everything you did. I will definitely look forward to book again for future trips.
Jennifer did amazing with Max. He had a great time and enjoyed her family. He is older but does not like to be alone, thankfully Jennifer was always near him to reassure his nerves. I am glad she was close to home and available to help our little guy be safe while we enjoyed our trip.
I had such a great experience with my dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my husky and made sure I felt at ease the entire time. They kept me updated regularly, sending photos and little notes about how my pup was doing. I could tell my husky was happy and well-exercised when I got back. If you need someone reliable and caring, I highly recommend them!
My little Muffin had a blast. I booked with Julhiffer again and while I was on vacation she always kept me updated with the cutest videos and pics of my dog having a ball. She creates such a warm and animal friendly atmosphere! She is amazing ! Thank you again!
Sharon did a great job watching my dog! She was very attentive and made sure to follow all the care instructions. She also sent regular updates and let me know how everything was going, which made me feel really at ease while I was away. I could tell my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.
Erika took excellent care of my foster dog Petals, while I was away for the weekend. She’s a very nervous dog and can be a little apprehensive when meeting new people but she was instantly right at home. She was never alone & was treated like a member of the family. I would book her again and again (and for my resident dog too!) thank you Erika!
