“We are so lucky to have found Paula, she's an absolute blessing! She is competent, reliable, responsive, and just overall a kind and lovely human! It was such a relief to know our furballs were in good hands while we were away. I cannot recommend Paula more highly, and we will definitely be using her again.”


“Noelle and her husband Victor did a phenomenal job with my two kitties again! I had left very specific instructions and they were followed to the T! They took care of them like they were their own! Fed them, played with them, and gave them plenty of love, even my skittish boy came out for them! I will be rebooking Noelle again in the future!”


About: *DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS AND CATS* (I have TWO CATS and A DOG!!) My times for daycare are 8 am - 6 pm ONLY! (Mon-Fri) I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had a love and care for any animal no matter the breed or size. During college, I worked at a vet as a daycare kennel assistant where I gained knowledge on the care of dogs. I know how to walk dogs, bathe them, cut their nails, etc. I work from home so I’m able to look over your fur baby! My boyfriend helps me from time to time and will help me look after any animal I have. I do go to the gym every so often so your dog needs to be able to be by themselves at least 1 hour, either crate trained or is able to be out without scratching or destroying anything. I have a fenced yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have a border collie mix and 2 cats in my house who are used to being around other dogs and mostly keep to themselves! If needed, my cats are able to be separated from your fur baby.

“I’m truly grateful for the care Neve provided. We have two cats one is very old. Neve went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. A complete professional who displayed tremendous compassion to our cats. I can’t thank her enough.”


“excellent service took very well care of my dog while i was away on vacation over the weekend checked on her on schedule and walked her and fed her every visit couldn't have asked for better care thank u”


“We couldn’t be happier with our cat sitter! She truly went above and beyond. She stayed an extra 30 minutes every day just to make sure our cats were comfortable and cared for. Her communication was excellent, and it’s clear she genuinely loves our cats. We got daily updates with adorable photos that let us know our babies were happy and in great hands. She did a wonderful job from start to finish. Highly recommend! Will work with her again.”


“Nervana was wonderful! My dogs require medication 2x a day and she ensured they received everything they needed. The pictures she sent at each visit put my mind at rest. Thank you!!”


“Melisa's cat-sitting service was excellent. We were glad to come home to find Benny happy, well-fed, and given lots of attention - and the apartment was kept clean. Our cat has special needs so it was a relief to be able to rely on Melisa's dependable communication and dedication to her work. It's clear she has a lot of love and compassion for pets!”



“We hired Olivia a few times while we were away and she was great! She communicated when she would be able to drop in to our apartment to look after our cat. Thank you! We would recommend her to anyone :)”


About: I have cared for my own pets since I was a child. I’ve always loved animals and have always had pets. I’ve rescued and helped strays cats along with my other family members. One of my most special cats had asthma and had to use and inhaler. I am capable handling medical needs for pets as I’ve also owned english bulldogs and they’ve had various skin allergies so I’m aware of allergy needs for special cats and dogs. I’ve recently started caring for chickens too lol. I have enough patience to help with basic training such as give paw/high fives, potty training and sit. My own pets have made it senior ages as well and am aware of older pets needs. I’m currently working and care for my dad so I only have Tuesdays available but will be adding more availability when I don’t have to work as much in the future and plan on Monday through Friday availability. I do Daily basic grooming and baths. I trim nails and can administer medications and take dogs on walks. Belly rubs and ear scratches. Cleaning up after my pets and cooking for them and feeding.

“Oleg was nothing short of incredible. My wife and I were traveling for our wedding and we hadn't used Rover before. Oleg put any nerves we had about leaving our pets alone at ease. He was communicative, caring, and you could tell he really enjoyed playing with the cats. He stayed later than required in all three visits and blew up our phones with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely book him again.”


About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. I absolutely love caring for my animals and it means the world to me to see them healthy and living their best lives! I currently have a 70+ lb pitbull of my own and spend alot of my free time volunteering at an Animal shelter in NJ. Most of that time is spent walking large (sometimes reactive) dogs, so large breeds and strong pullers are not a problem! I am available for drop ins and walks Monday- Friday (and certain weekends). As long as i do not already have a booking, i am usually available too help my fellow animal lovers with their pet care needs! I never leave animals unattended outside ( including fenced in yards). I also assure that all food and treats being offered are approved by the pet parents which i am working with. I also am very careful about keeping dangerous/toxic household items and plants far out of reach of any animals!

About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking for the past two years with experience with both cats and dogs of my own! I have also been able to successfully train my youngest cat some tricks like sit, stand, and “say hi”. I have also worked with some senior dogs who needed help with their walks and careful watch when it comes to feeding. I am available most days after 12:15 and can always make accommodations to squeeze another walk in when necessary! Typically, Mondays and Wednesdays I’m not available for early mornings but can do late afternoon walks. I typically don’t board my pets in my home, however, I have been to other homes to check in on dogs multiple times a day to ensure they have fresh water, food, and have the chance to play and get out some energy! I believe play time is especially important for young puppies.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life I currently have two of my own I’m also in school for veterinary technician. I love animals and want to see them get nothing but the best care for them and I would love to be able to provide that care for your pets I love them as much as you do. I’m currently doing this full time so I have weekday, weekends and overnight care available. Your pet would be in great hands. My fiancé also has been around pets his whole life and has cared for sick dogs and healthy dogs and has a lot of experience I have a fenced in yard two wonderful fur babies and a fenced in yard. And the ability to crate your pet if needed. Your pet will be treated as one of our own while in our care. While getting daily walks and exercises as well as the proper care we welcome any and all care instructions to the specific pet. Pet sitting is my full time job.10 hours a month as a dog bather. My husband currently works Monday through Friday and is usually home by 10am.we are home all the time to supervise the pups playing I have a fenced in yard I also have a pen in my house as well as a dog crate to help provide a secure and safe environment when we are not home which is very rare however pet parents are welcome to bring their own supplies to make their pet more comfortable

“Ursula was fantastic! She knew exactly how to care for my anxious pup on her first time alone in a long time. The updates were great and her constant communication made me less anxious too. I'll be looking for Ursula next time Lola needs care.”
