“David took care of everything and everyone—from our Velcro dog who became his best bud to our 16 year old very shy kitty who ended up snuggling up and sleeping with him. It was so nice to come home to happy healthy pets and everything at the house taken care of. I highly recommend David and will be seeking out his services again. Thank you!!!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life from before I could remember to now. I’ve had special needs dogs, rescues, and pure breeds who require a little extra love. I’ve cared for senior dogs ( who are blind and deaf) and trained puppies successfully. Over all, I adore dogs of all kinds, shapes, and sizes! I can’t wait to adventure with your pup! I am an elementary school teacher. I am very affectionate and attentive when it comes to animals. I would love to walk and cuddle your pup all summer long! I have two very friendly dogs and a husband who adores pups just as much as I do! We have a very large fenced-in yard where your pup can get in their daily zoomies! We also have two sides of our house where, if necessary, your pup can have alone time with me and away from my other two pups (who can hang out with my husband). When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will be sure to follow all routines you set. It’s important for a pup (especially one’s still learning) to have the same routines with or without their mom/dad present.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

“Sherry Lee did an amazing job. She stayed in our home over the holiday weekend and cared for Archie our two year old Cockapoo. She updated us constantly, sent photos and videos, and it was obvious how relaxed he was in his own routine even though we were away. We felt so comfortable and are already looking at additional dates for Sherrylynne to come stay and watch Archie. We highly recommend hiring Sherry Lynne to stay in your home and pet sit your furry friends.”


“Justine stayed with our dog over the weekend while we were attending our daughter’s wedding. She was AMAZING in every way. It was so comforting to know he was in good hands and that allowed us to enjoy the weekend. She’s lovely and our dog is happy.”


About: I don’t have dogs or cats myself but I do have bunnies that I feed and take care of. My cousins have dogs and I treat them like my own, frequently going on walks with the two of them. I'm a college student who loves pets and being active!! I'm available for walks in the morning and afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a quiet area with lots of side streets. The other dogs in the neighborhood are also very friendly.

“Milena stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and she was great! We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! She kept us posted with pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!!”


“Alexa took care of Charlie from Friday afternoon to Sunday may16-18. She sent photos showing his walks and wakeups. Unfortunately he got into her box of chocolates so she took him to the vet. We were on our way home when this happened”


About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

“Melissa was wonderful with our new tiny Maltese puppy Penny. She was loving and patient with Penny and we look forward to having her come stay with Penny again in our home.”


“Sonya is absolutely incredible ! Extremely reliable, courteous, professional and punctual! She genuinely loves our dogs (2 exceptionally large and rambunctious Bernese mountain pups > 130lbs each!!). From the moment she arrives she provides constant attention, playtime in the backyard and is very attentive when it comes to following specific instructions for the pups. Highly recommended her !”


“I can't recommend Kristin enough! She took incredible care of Buzz, while I was away on such short notice. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to make buzz feel comfortable and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She definitely became my dog's new best friend!”


“Lisbeth has been a great dog sitter. She took care of two dogs and did a great job with everything. She provided updates every day and sent doggy photos. Both of our dogs loved her.”


About: Hi! I’m Nicoletta — a lifelong animal lover with real, hands-on experience. I grew up in a house full of pets: three German Shepherds, a dachshund, a Jack Russell, a Shih Tzu, and a cat — so I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses my whole life. Walking, feeding, playing, and caring for them wasn’t just a chore — it was my favorite part of the day. These animals weren’t just pets; they were my best friends and part of the family. From high-energy pups to tiny lap dogs (and even the cat who thought he was a dog), I’ve learned how to connect with all kinds of personalities and temperaments. Whether your pet needs a relaxing walk, playtime, or just someone calm and reliable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. My Availability: I’m moving to Boston in September, so this summer I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m not juggling any major commitments right now, which means I can give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care — including last-minute walks or extended visits! How I Care for Pets in Your Home: When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to playtime and any special instructions you leave. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I’m all about making your pet feel relaxed and happy in their familiar space. I also keep you updated with photos, messages, and anything else you’d like to stay in the loop!

“I had a great experience with Nabria. My dog and cat were very comfortable with her. She left my home spotless and I could not be more grateful and pleased. I would 100% use her services again and highly recommend her.”


About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets... I'm currently working full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your poppies! I'm available for boarding on weekends and holidays, just let me know in advance. I can’t take care of your dog in my house, I can take it for a walk or take care in your house. I am so socially.

About: About a year ago, I lost my childhood dog, Chloe, who I had the honor to spend 16 beautiful years with. She was quite frankly the center of my world and I’m so grateful I got to care for her from puppyhood into her senior-years. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have also looked after dogs of family and friends, so I am experienced in caring for dogs of different sizes and ages, as well as more than one at a time. I enjoy spending time outside for play and walks, as well as snuggling indoors and playing with toys. I currently work a hybrid job full-time, so spend most of the week at home with ample time to spend with new furry friends. I look forward to meeting you :) I currently work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to be home most of the week. This allows me plenty of time to take breaks for play, feeding, walks, and anything else the pup might need. I care for every pet as I would my own. I understand the level of trust that is needed to allow someone to care for your own loved one(s), and I don’t take it lightly. Every pet’s needs are tended to with care and they are given lots of love and attention, with their safety and comfortability being my number one priority.

Amanda Y.
“Amanda might love animals more than anyone I have ever met. She spoils every dog she sees and showers them with affection. The only problem you could ever have with Amanda caring for your dogs is her reluctance to leave them when she is done! She is responsible and caring, and will make sure that your pet gets whatever they need. You could not find a better person to care for your pet than Amanda.”


Mia V.
“Mia has always been an animal lover - from the days of watching Steve Irwin’s DVDs as a child to working at the Hudson Valley Humane Society in adulthood. She has experience caring for all sorts of creatures; cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, bunnies! She takes the time to understand each animal’s needs as well as their personality, likes/dislikes, and habits. Over the years she’s had family, friends and neighbors turn to her for their animal care needs.”
