“Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!”

About: Living in New Brunswick with some friends. I have cats but I'm not allowed dogs in our house. Growing up with dogs it's hard to be away from them. Taking care of someone else's pets would be a pleasure and would brighten my day. I walk to work everyday and live outside Rutgers campuses and near some beautiful parks, giving me tons of places to bring your dogs and the stamina to keep up with them on long walks.My oldest dog back home is a big pitbull, so big dogs are right up my alley, and both my dogs can get quite rowdy so I know how to handle animals when they get out of control. I'm currentky working at later in the day and at night so I'm available during the day. I ride my bike or walk to appointments so I'm looking for clients in New Brunswick and Highland Park. I enjoy going on quiet walks in places without too much hustle and bustle. If your pet gets overwhelmed in rowdy environments, you can count on me to give the a calm yet playful day.
“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”

“Mersades was always very quick to respond, was flexible with the times I needed, and did an awesome job watching my kitty! The pictures she took were too cute and put me at ease while I was traveling! Definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I currently have a mini goldeen doodle who I have trained myself! He loves all his furry friends and loves giving kisses as well! I currently work from home so I have lots of time to spend with any pup and take on potty breaks! We also get in some nap time as well! For day care I am available from 7am to 7pm! If you need any extra hours I can make arrangements with an extra fee! I have a decently sized apartment that has lots of room to play. Hulk loves to share all his toys and play with his furry friends! I have a gated area for my kitchen as well!
About: I worked in a Veterinary office for over 10 years. We have a large fenced-in yard for dogs to play in. My daughter, Libby, and I will work together to make your dog feel welcomed and loved. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to this; except for the occasional trip to visit my children, out of state. We have a large fenced yard for dogs to run around in. I have grandchildren who live with me and they will enjoy playing with your doge.
“Cristina took fantastic care of our two cats! She stayed for a lot of time which made me feel good because they were getting socialized and made it clear that she wasn’t just showing up and rushing out the door. She was very responsive to any communications and very accommodating!”


About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since the age of 10. Families, friends neighbors always replied on me to pet sit for them. I’m very comfortable with any types of dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of all age range’s from puppies/kittens to seniors cats/dog. I currently work full-time, but I have time on Friday and Saturday to play with pets! I can board pets Thursday-Sunday!

“Zenobia was a great sitter for our kitty! She was prompt, reliable, and very friendly. We received pictures and videos during her visits. Communication with her was excellent. We'll absolutely be booking her again!”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m calm, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care each day. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and companionship while keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. Trust and communication are very important to me when caring for pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and consistent care so owners feel comfortable while away. I always respect a pet’s routine and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.

About: I’ve grown up walking, feeding, cleaning up after, and caring for my 2 big dogs and 2 cats. It became my favorite part of my days, and I want to extend this love to more animals! I’m currently a full-time student at university, but I have availability during the weekend and Mondays, Wednesdays (9-15h) and Fridays (all day) and would love to help when I can! I don’t provide services within my own residence but can help with any care within one’s home: walking, feeding, cleaning up after, general pet-sitting, or just one-on-one dog/cat time!
“Laura also did drop ins for us and sent us such detailed updates and photos. She played with them and made sure they were doing well. Any inquiries I had, she replied to right away. Thank you again Laura!”

“Brittany was just great. Very punctual very communicative and the kitties seemed very happy in the pictures. I trusted her completely in my house. It was left just exactly as I left it….perfect. Will definitely be using Brittany again.”

“Berthie was phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Berthie again. Continuously updated me with pictures and blurbs about how my dog was doing. My dog is adjusting to a new apartment and had been having accidents and Berthie not only updated me on her status, but ensured he would clean up if she had any accidents. I 100% would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter/Walker.”

About: I rescued my black lab 10 years ago on my own, and have groomed in and assisted in veterinary hospitals in the past. I grew up with a dog and cats and love most all animals. I used to be a veterinary assistant for a few years before covid, and I have good friends who work in veterinary medicine as doctors! I love to learn as much as I can in that field as well. I am fully available to care and love your animals- The sooner you book me for house sittings- all the better!! I will regularly take the animals outside, give them treats, cuddle on the couch together (if they’re allowed on furniture) and feed them as needed I am happy to provide as much care and service to you and your pets as often as you need it, and whenever I am physically able to be there to care for them for you! For house sittings, I give the the houses with fenced in backyards both your pets and myself to stay outdoors with one another for a longer period of time in a safer environment to get to know one another, especially during first time visits. I love to lounge around the house and get to know your fur babies, especially during my first few times of interacting with them, just to establish care and trust during this time.

“We are so grateful to Jasmin for watching our cat, Riley, while we were traveling. She took great care of her which let us enjoy our trip without worrying. She even went the extra step of washing Riley’s dishes after her meals. Thank you so much, Jasmin! We would definitely book with you again. ☺️”

Jasmin took great care of our cat while we were away and kept us updated on how she was doing. She let us know when our cat wasn't feeling well so we could be prepared to take care of her when we got home. She even cleaned up our cat's messes for us so we didn't have to! We always feel better being away when Jasmin is there to take care of our cat.

Eleanor is amazing with my cats and they both really respond to her, even my shy cat! She's also very communicative and responsive and is comfortable getting detailed instructions (both of my cats require special medicine / feeding instructions). This isn't my first time booking her for cat care and I would definitely book her again!

Michael was an amazing cat sitter to our 3 indoor boys and took care of our 1 feral lady outside! He was there everyday we were gone at the boys “dinner time” without fail! I received adorable photos of the belly rubs and even my shy guy came out for treats! That’s a testament to the animal person Michael is! When we returned home from our vacation the house was exactly how we left it and the boys had plenty of food and water. Their boxes were clean and the area was tidy. We will absolutely be using Michael’s services again!

I've had many pet sitters for my dogs over the years and I can say with no hesitation that Ari (Barbara) was one of the best! Complete trust and confidence that she could handle taking care of my 15 year old lab! Great communication and she treated my Guinness as if he was her family member. Thank you so much Ari!
