“Teddy was in Rajrupa and her family's care for 4 hours. They took very good care of him. Helped him to socialize with the other dogs. They are very kind and love pets. They understand his needs sent me pictures almost every hour. I trust them with Teddy and plan to use them again very very soon!”
“Kimberli was amazing! I can tell that Shiloh enjoyed his time with her and her beautiful children. She is definitely being added to our sitter’s list. Thank you again for taking care of our fur baby.”
“Beth was great with Ruger & Remi! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with them staying with her (this is our first time using Rover). She sent pictures and videos and the pups were exhausted when we got home. Thank you Beth!”
“It was our dog's first time with large dogs. I love Samoyeds and I'm so happy Bunny got to spend the day with them. Ahn was super accommodating for a last minute booking. She had great updates for us. We will definitely book her again!”
“Danielle and her whole family were so nice! I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She sent a couple photo updates while we were out and was very easy to schedule with and get in contact with ahead of time. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”
“Kara was wonderful and took excellent care of our pup. We loved getting the report card and photo updates and we can tell that Ollie had a wonderful day with her.”
About: Both my husband and I grew up with multiple dogs in our household. We dog sit for all of our friends year round whenever they travel. I work in the office 4 days a week but my husband works full time at home. We also have a dog of our own that we let go / walk throughout the day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where your dogs can run around freely! We also make sure to keep anything dangerous out of harms way for any pets.
About: Everyone in my house loves dogs. We have a large fenced yard and love to play run and walk with them. They won’t be bored. Taken care of several dogs with special diets. Mostly home all the time, so your home body dog will be great as well. I work part time from home so would love to hang with your dog. I enjoy dogs, would be great if I can meet yours! We have a large house and fenced in yard. Plenty of room to run and lay around. I also enjoy doing my daily run with a dog or getting some extra walking time in, if you just need a drop in.
“We LOVE her! She cares for my fur baby just as well or better than I do! She loves him and it shows. I appreciate her and her services. Highly recommend it!”
“My third time using Donna for doggy day care. Always attentive and communicative”

“Best care taken ever. Pablo did have a great stay, he enjoyed company so much and had a real fun day! I definitely recommend staying with celeste, she is a great host.”
About: I have many years experience of pet care from ownership to boarding to walks. I’m an outdoors womanI love all animals and will treat your pets like family because that’s what they are. I am retired and want to dedicate my free time to do what I love most. Spending time and caring for animals. I also know how to teach dogs some tricks they may not know yet. In the end you can rest well and know your pet will be safe with me. Your pet will have 1 on 1 time with me. If needed your pet will not have to be around other pets if that makes them uncomfortable. I understand that some animals don’t like to share their humans and can not coexist with other animals. I am an animal free home. Most of my lifelong experience has been with corgis and Australian shepherd’s although I’ve cared for many different breeds. I am always available for FaceTime during their stay. I don’t mind sending pictures and videos daily either I am retired and have an open schedule to dedicate my time to your pets. I love walking at all the different parks and bringing the pups with me to explore. I also have a pet friendly lake close by. If your dog is a swimmer i will gladly take them weather permitting. During their stay i will also have field trips to the dog park and other locations if you’re okay with me driving with your pet. I have 3 acres of property for your pet to explore. All my plants are pet safe. I don’t use any chemicals that are harmful in or outside my home. Over an acre is fenced in for your pet to run freely. On hot days I have baby pools i can fill up for your pet to play in. If your pet is a swimmer i have a beautiful pet friendly lake within 5 miles of my home and love to take them to swim. I also have several dog parks close by. When transporting your pet i have pet seatbelts for your pet’s safety. My home is extremely clean inside and out. Most importantly I will always have my eyes on your pet. They will not be left alone.
About: Been taking care of dogs since middle school, been a dog walker in NYC for 4 years. Trained my family members pets and close friends. I work from home 2 days out of the week, my schedule is usually open during the week and flexible for your pet needs t. Your pet is free to roam around the house, dividers are up for safety. My schedule is very flexible so 98% of the time your pet has my attention.
About: It’s expensive to maintain the best care for your animals — especially when one is busy with work or everyday life. I’m here to make this easier and provide the best care for your pets! Since I was around 13, my mom and I worked together to foster stray kittens/puppies found around her work area and find them forever homes. With this experience, came a new perspective for working with animals. I may be young but I understand through first hand experience just how high maintenance our loved furry ones can be. I also know that it is difficult to find time out of the day to make sure they’re being walked, fed, and played with. I can provide this for you. My lovely clients have trusted me with house sitting, dog walking, and even just to keep their fur babies accompanied when they need some time away from home. My main goal is to help pet owners with their day; working with animals genuinely makes me happy and I wish to help in any way I can. I am home from december 20th - january 20th & have full availability! If needed overnight that can work as well. I can start as early as 8am too. I have a really friendly cat named Luna who gets along with dogs & cats. I have a big backyard and i’m near a lot of parks (brookside, pulaski; and brookdale in bloomfield) as well!
“Heather was great with my little Ace. Thank you Heather!”
About: I have been an animal lover all my life and have owned and cared for many types of animals big and small including some exotic pets! I’ve been pet sitting for a few years now for my friends and family and even volunteered for some rescue organizations to help out in any way I could! I currently work at a special needs school and I work from 8-2pm Monday-Friday so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available pretty much anytime on the weekends as well! I am very open to any requirements you have for caring for your furry friends in your home or on walks! I’m a big advocate for you knowing your pets best so let me know any special requests you may have!
About: I have had a family pet (cats, dogs, fish) my whole life and have pet sit for friends and family as well! I also am a foster for a local cat adoption non profit. I work from home, and have the ability to keep your furry family company throughout the day and ensure frequent breaks to go for walks and get outside as needed. We have a big fenced backyard that is perfect for playing and exploring! We also live on a dead end street with sidewalks, perfect for safe and quiet walks outdoors.

Jennifer P.
“We needed a boarder for our Auggie who is not fond of other pets. Jen offered to block out dates for us so there wouldn’t be other pets with her. Our girl is very needy for attention due to me being a stay at home dog mom and available at all times for her. She has a potential to get jealous of other animals. Jen is a dream! She didn’t mind booking Darla as the only pet. We were happy to pay pick up drop off fee as we were very busy prior to traveling. She even has doggy seatbelts to keep them safe. She has a 3 acre farm with a large portion fenced in for your pups to roam free and off leash. There is also many trails to walk behind the fence. She didn’t mind us stopping by to check it out prior to our dates which we appreciated. Jen went the extra mile and took Darla out to explore. She even brought her swimming which she loves! She was able to get plenty of attention while we were away. She was always stimulated and even came home knowing how to roll over and play dead. She even includes an activity book with printed pictures, daily activities, meals and poop breaks for an extra $25. We loved the pics by the lake. If you don’t want the book she is more than willing to send all info via text/email. We also had daily FaceTimes! She was right on time with her medication. She was on anti-inflammatory meds for her hip. She would send us a daily texts at time of administering to keep our minds at ease. What stood out the most about Jen was that she offered special meals for an added cost. Her 1st day we ordered her a filet and rice and doggy ice cream for dessert just to give her a special treat after leaving her. We also chose chicken, lean ground beef and an egg and spinach breakfast which she loves! She offers grooming options bath and daily brushes, however no cut. Let’s just say your precious pet is on a luxury vacation with Jen, even without the extras. You’ll come home to a puppy who is healthy clean and happy. Once you go with her you will never allow your pet to stay anywhere else”

She’s done farm sitting twice this summer and is looking forward to doing that again. Nobody loves animals as much as this girl. I highly recommend her!”
