“Cristina is amazing! She’s got great availability and is so awesome with our kitties. She always makes sure to play with them and noticed when things are off, like a possible medical issue or piece of trash they might chew on. I highly recommend her - I always know my cats are in good hands!”
About: Hi, my name is Grace and I’m happy to be back in the Garden State! Although my "day job" as a marketing manager for a local university is a lot of fun, spending time with animals is what brings me true joy. I work from home, so if your pet needs care at any point during the day, I’m your gal. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I will occasionally have to go into the office, but that will be indicated on my calendar. I will absolutely follow your lead. I want to make sure your pet feels the utmost comfort and safety when around me. If that means extra cuddle time, fine by me. If they want space, that's okay too. I never want you to worry when you're away from your fur baby!
“Repeat client here! Hon does great with my two cats and even notes the slightest change in behavior! I’ve always come home to two happy and healthy cats, though, I guess they still miss their human. Hehe. Hon is exceptional with my senior cat in being patient with him and knowing when to leave him be or to see if he’s willing to come out of his hidey-hole. :)”
“Megan M. was amazing with my pack (4) of very large boys! She was friendly and professional! I will definitely use her again if I ever need Rover to cover a day my friends and family can't! The boys definitely made a new friend! 🐾💙”
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
“Colleen is amazing! She is absolutely perfect for our anxious dog….so calm and sweet. Lizzy had no problems adjusting which is rare for her. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in such good hands. We look forward to having her care for all of our fur babies in the future!”
“Brittany is fabulous! She was extremely attentive to our two cats and I felt so great leaving them in her care. She is very knowledgeable about cats and you can see the passion she has for animals. I would recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
About: I have trained puppies and had senior dogs. I love them all. I believe that patience and consistency are the key to winning over a dog's trust. I am available to walk your small to medium dog when you need - on a daily basis or on an as needed basis. I am consistent and patient. I am available for a meet and greet to learn about your lovable furry family member. In the past I have taken care of animals in my home while their pet parents were on vacation. I may eventually offer this service in the future.
About: All dogs seem to love me and gravitate towards me. I always know how to treat them even if they are a little skittish. I think I’d be a great fit. After work I am free always after 4 pm and on the weekends I can walk anytime for the most part, I think this is a great part time gig for me since I love dogs. I am extremely careful always keeping an eye on them and making sure they are not getting into anything that they should not be getting into.

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog Olivia while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Olivia was in such loving and capable hands. Hannah sent regular updates, adorable photos, and made sure Olivia got plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker Olivia clearly adored her too! Highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”
About: I currently have 6 dogs of my own and love nothing more than taking care of them! I have experience with all breeds from working at multiple doggy daycares. I also have trained all of my own dogs! I currently work part time feeding horses in the early AM, so I have free time during the day to help animal parents take care of their babies! I can fully care for animals in other people’s homes, with 6 of my own dogs I could not accommodate more unfortunately! I take pride in my work and taking care of animals is one of my favorite things to do.

Christian was a fantastic cat sitter! He was always punctual and incredibly easy to communicate with - quick to respond and very accommodating to all of our requests. He made sure our cats were well taken care of each day, from mealtimes to playtime, refilling their water, keeping their litter box clean, and even leaving the TV on for them just the way they like it. We especially appreciated all the photos he sent during each visit - it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our cats were happy and comfortable with him. Highly recommend Christian!
