“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”
“Thor has stayed with Kun, his partner and Som and more times than I can count and Thor NEVER wants to leave. They consistently update you with pictures, ask dietary related questions prior to giving any treats and are all in all outstanding communicators. They’ve helped me out last minute so many times and the appreciation is massive! Thank you guys!!”
“Angelica was great. We kept switching the drop off time and even the pickup time and she accommodated us with no problem. She sent pics and videos showing that Raven was having a good time.”
“We are so glad we found Heidy and her family to watch our two boxer girls. When we dropped them off our dogs were a bit apprehensive at the new experience, but they clearly had a good time when we picked them up. Great home environment, convenient location, and awesome people! Thank you for taking such good care of our girls!”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“Denise is the best! She has watched Sasha for me a few times now and Sasha always is well taken care of and very happy! She keeps me updated and goes out of her way to make it a good stay!! I would 10000% recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter”
“Laura, Dan & their adorable boys took great care of my 2 labs over the weekend! They were very easy to work with and flexible to meet my needs when arrival time changed. Thank you so much! 💕”
“Funda did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs. She sent me videos & pictures, and give updates everyday. Im grateful for her service and would definitely reach out to her again! You won't regret working with her :)”
“This was Oakley’s first time staying with Hoyjin and Chulmin, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were responsive, kind, and attentive to Oakley’s needs. They provided frequent updates that put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. They treated Oakley like family and he looked so happy and comfortable in their care. Knowing he was in such a safe and loving environment made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my time away. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave Oakley, and I would absolutely love to have them watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time booking with Rocío and she is always so kind and welcoming. We went away for a few days during Memorial Day weekend and it was hard dropping Sasha off as we were worried that she would get depressed and not eat. However, Rocío assured us she was in great hands. Rocío would always communicate and send us videos or pictures of Sasha so we were never left wondering how she was doing. I feel that Rocío really cares for and loves Sasha and makes sure that she is comfortable. My fiancé and I feel very lucky to have found Rocio! Thank you!”
“I would def recommend Jennifer! She does a great job communicating. She sent pictures of our puppy during her stay. Skylar was very happy upon picking her up and we will def be using Jennifer again for our future needs ♥️”
“Amanda & Kevin were great! They contacted me via the app call feature prior to booking. They took the time to learn about my dog Simba, his needs and how to make him comfortable. This is my first time ever boarding my pup and they made it feel very easy. Their place is lovely and they sent me updates everyday. I can’t reccomend Amanda & Kevin enough!! Will book again.”
“We were so delighted with the care our pup Coach received during his stay with Enis. It is always a bit nerve wracking trying a new pet sitter, but I could tell from the photos that Coach was relaxed and happy and well exercised too! When it was time to go home he was happy to see me, but he was happy to be around Enis as well, which I take as a great sign. We will definitely book with Enis again.”
“Ninoska is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our dog, Snow. Since it was our first time using Rover, we were a little worried leaving him with someone we didn’t know. Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was fantastic with Snow. She sends us amazing pics and videos of him having a great time. When we came home after our vacay, our Snow was relaxed and happy. Will definitely return to her for future stays.”
“Marcy was just incredible! Communication was absolutely seamless and she sent me videos and pictures throughout the day. Oliver had a wonderful time. Will definitely send him back again! Thank you!”
“Highly recommend Teresa. She took amazing care of Coco providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love. Coco came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again!”

I can’t recommend Faith enough! She took amazing care of my dog, Matcha, while I was away on a 10-day international trip. From the very start, Faith was flexible and communicative, always keeping me updated with pictures at least three times a day. It made such a difference being able to truly relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Matcha was in great hands. Matcha had a bit of a cough during my trip, and Faith made sure to give him his medicine twice daily without issue. She followed all of my feeding and potty break instructions perfectly and always used positive, encouraging language—even when Matcha needed some extra time to adjust. By the end of the trip, I could tell that Faith and Matcha had formed such a sweet bond. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave to my pup. Faith is responsible, kind, and genuinely loves the dogs she looks after. Matcha and I would happily book with her again!
Christina and Nick provided the perfect care for our Roxy. 11 days was the longest we had left her...and although we missed her, we never worried about her well being. Christina kept us updated with messages and photos multiple times a day. We could literally sense Roxy's calmness in the pictures which was such a great feeling. We felt like Roxy was treated like a princess, so she felt right at home =) Thank you Christina and Nick! We can't wait to book with you again, and we know Roxy feels the same way!
So happy to have found Celeste to watch our 8 month old boxer. She has a beautiful sweet dog Riley who's a well behaved calm girl that did excellent with Ruby. From meeting Celeste and hearing about Rileys story you knew how much love and patience she has for her dog. This is exactly what made me feel comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We got updated daily with pics and knew Ruby felt right at home with Celeste and Riley. ❤️
Pamela has taken care of 2 of our dogs, our Australian shepherd and our shih tzu in two different occasions. Both times were kind of last minute trips we had to take and she was very accommodating. Kept in touch with us, sent pictures & videos and communicated any concerns she had when the dogs didn't want to eat. She genuinely cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are really happy we found her. She's an amazing pet sitter.
Jenny was such an amazing sitter for my nervous girl Sansa! This is the first time since we moved to NJ a few years ago that we left Sansa at a sitter’s place for over a week. We were very nervous especially given her temperament but Jenny and her dogs were so good with her, and Jenny’s experience with rescue dogs came in handy while dealing with our girl. We will definitely be going to Jenny for future sittings.
