About: I grew up taking care of dogs, both my own and those of friends and family. I work from home full time and will give your pup all my love and attention. I am sensitive to the needs of different pups and will cater to the needs of your pup accordingly! I will treat your pup as if they were my own. I work from home full time and set my own hours so I would be very flexible to work around the needs of your pup. I can provide walks and pee breaks for your pup every few hours. I live in a townhome with plenty of space indoors and lots of greenery outside.
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”
“Cristina is an excellent petsitter. From the moment we met her she was very sweet and affectionate with Daphne. I was worried because Daphne is a very energetic dog but Cristina knew how to handle her and Daphne had a lot of fun with her. She went for walks 3 times a day, she received a lot of love. Without hesitation I will leave Daphne with Cristina again.”

I just rebook Kate again for my upcoming gateway family and I feel assured that my dog will feels like home with her.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs but with my career I never adopted one of my own! Getting to care for other's pups is so a great honor and joy. I have watched over a 100 pound golden retriever to a 6 pound chihuahua! I truly love dogs and would love to meet yours! I typically work 2-3 days a week so I have a lot of free time that I'd love to use to meet and love on your pup! I have the world's friendliest cat living at my home if your pup spends the night with me and get at least 15,000 steps every day so would love to take your baby for a walk! I have experience with most different leash types but am a quick learner if you need something I haven't seen before.

And after the long weekend we could tell that Odey fell in love with them and that he is looking forward to seeing them again!”

Xunze was the best! She took such good care of my kitten and was extremely detailed oriented letting me know how she ate and pooped and acted. She was also super flexible and responsive and helped me navigate using this app. Would highly recommend and would definitely book her again. Thank you Xunze!
Sandra and San were absolutely incredible with Leo! We left him with them for 5 nights and felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. They were so warm, kind, and caring, and I really appreciated how much effort they made to get to know Leo beforehand and understand his personality and routine. It really showed how responsible and thoughtful they are as sitters. Leo got tons of walks, playtime with Penny, and plenty of room to run around in their big fenced-in yard. We loved all the photos and videos and could tell he was having such a great time. They were also so easy to communicate with, which made everything completely stress-free. We’d absolutely have Leo stay with them again and HIGHLY recommend!!!
Christina truly went above and beyond with my dog Sammy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sammy can be very nervous around new people and takes time and patience to become comfortable, and Christina and her husband were incredibly understanding and respectful of his boundaries from the very beginning. She kept me consistently updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind, and I could tell she was genuinely paying attention to how he was feeling and adjusting her approach accordingly. She was patient, compassionate, communicative, and took all of the information I gave her about Sammy’s routine and temperament seriously. This was a big step for both Sammy and me, and Christina made the entire experience so much easier than I expected. I’m extremely grateful for the care and effort she put into making him feel safe and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her with Sammy again and highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a dog who may need a little extra patience and understanding.
Kevin was great!! I was definitely nervous about leaving Willow with someone new, but we met up at the dog park beforehand so (we) and our dogs could meet, and make sure they got along. They did, thankfully!! He was great with communication which made me feel better leaving her. She was happy when I picked her up and everything seemed to go well. I’d definitely book with Kevin and Bubbles again!
Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding! I had flight delays that resulted in me needing a later pick up time at the last minute and she was super accommodating. My dog Jax loves her and Cashew. 10/10 recommend Catherine and I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!
Sherrie was wonderful! She’s excellent with routine. She asked all the right questions, followed all instructions, and is a true animal lover. We wanted a mature and responsible caregiver and after our meet & greet we were positive we found The One. After seeing Sherrie with her own sweet dog, we could tell how committed and wonderful she is as a pet owner. Thank you so much to Sherrie and her finance. ❤️ They made our trip worry free and we will book again.
We had a great experience all around with our booking with Lisa. Her accommodation to provide a safe and welcoming home for our dog was more than satisfactory! She is a professional. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to my dog, and Lisa addressed and reassured me of my every concern. There was an immediate connection between our dog, Lisa, and her family. I highly recommend Lisa for the excellent service that she provides!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
