7. Janice B.
“I had a last minute trip I had to take and I don’t know anyone in the area. Janice was willing to watch my dog and was very kind and easy to communicate with, helping ease my worry of leaving my dog with someone new. My dog is also very shy and Janice did a great job helping her feel comfortable and come out of her shell. She sent pictures and video updates without me having to ask. She was very accommodating to my flight being delayed and willing to watch my dog 4 hours past the scheduled time. I’d highly recommend her. She’s near Newark airport too so convenient for traveling. Thank you, Janice!😊”

“Te is such a wonderful person! This was our first time leaving Ollie with her, and from the moment we walked in we felt her passion for taking care of dogs and it eased our minds a bit. She has a nice set up in her house where the dogs can play and a fully fenced backyard. She kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and messages about how Ollie was doing. Overall, highly recommend.”


13. Jessica V.

“Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.”

16. Misty L.

“Misty is truly the sweetest person! I've used a few sitters before, but I must say that Misty and her husband gave me complete peace of mind every time Lola stayed with them. They treated her like family, and Misty went above and beyond by sending multiple pictures to show that Lola was safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found someone like her. I Highly recommended 😊”


17. Neide P.

“Neide has been an absolute god sent sitter !! My 2 year old Pit, Racks , is usually on the more shy side but he completely warmed up to Neide right away the second he saw her! Everything has been perfect since our drop off and she kept me extremely updated all night and day, from sending me cute little pics and videos, to sending me sweet updates about his eating and bathroom times. it truly brightened my day everytime i got a message that my boy was good and enjoying himself! He was able to spend time with other dogs as well and he enjoyed it so much. i would HIGHLY reccomend Neide to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter for their pet, no matter what type. shes so loving and sweet, i couldnt have picked a better sitter for my pup. I truly thank Neide for her efforts and time, shes a live saver. If i could rate 100000000000 stars I WOULD!!!”


18. Enrique O.

“Enrique is a dog whisperer! We could not have been more comfortable and happy with our first booking. The communication from the start was consistent and comforting. We highly recommend for anybody in search of high-quality dog sitting at a great rate. We will absolutely be returning!”


19. Hsin Yun & Phil C.
“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”


20. Rosemeri A. R.

“Rosemeri was a doll! She took such good care of my fur baby. I was skeptical about this site and interviewed many people before deciding. She sent pictures and videos daily, as well as daily reports of my pups activity. I smiled the entire time while On vacation knowing that my pup was in good hands. I will definitely be using Rosemeri again!!!”
