“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you again🩷”
“My Sweet girl had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend Maisha, she’s best in class. Extremely responsive and stay in touch with you every step of the way. This was my second booking we have a lifetime to go. Thank you for your wonderful service!”
“Klainer was amazing with my tiny dog Moqui! She was so responsive, sent me so many updates and photos and was so kind. I have a very anxious dog and Klainer made sure to make her feel at home. Thank you so much!”
“Ekaterina and her family were amazing with our puppy. Lots of pictures and communication during the stay. She took excellent care of the puppy and puppy clearly enjoyed her visit. We would highly recommend Ekaterina and would love to have to watch our puppy again.”
“I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)”
“Nicholas was amazing this past weekend with my 11 month old puppy. I am a first time Rover user and wasn’t sure what to expect. Immediately upon meeting Bauer Nicholas picked up on his personality and worked the entire weekend around fun play, exercise and instruction. Nicholas’ home is a dream come true for any dog- he takes then on hikes and gives them tons of exercise and socialization in a small group environment. Nicholas sent lots of videos and pictures and was in constant communication. I received more helpful info about my dog under his care than any trainer I have ever used. I highly recommend Nicholas and will absolutely have him take care of Bauer again!”
“Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Amazing first time experience with Staci. Great communication and made me comfortable that my fur baby was in excellent hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”
“Nathalie is a gem. We trust & cherish her. Our Brandy is safe & loved with her. She is friendly, flexible & a lifesaver. We are lucky to have her take care of our baby.”
“I needed someone to care for my timid foster dog, and Ninoska was the perfect choice. Her glowing reviews gave me confidence, and she exceeded my expectations. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and her fenced yard gave me peace of mind. My pup felt right at home with her, her dog, and her warm environment. Thank you, Ninoska—I’ll definitely return!”
“Hsin and Phil were outstanding sitters for Crema. They were prompt to respond to my request. Crema was in great hands and I had complete peace of mind due to their total attention to Crema.”
“Jennifer was wonderful! I wouldn't definitely use her service again. She had great communication, sending lots of videos and pictures. I felt at ease while I was away”
“I cannot recommend Rosario highly enough! She took care of my Jack Russell for two full weeks, and I was beyond impressed with her dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. From the start, she was warm, professional, and very communicative sending me regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog absolutely adored her, and it was clear he was in loving, capable hands the entire time. When I returned, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and truly wonderful with dogs, Rosario is the one!”
“Neide was fantastic. She made sure our dog got lots of exercise and attention. She also kept us updated with dozens of videos and photos. It made us feel so much better about leaving him to know that he was in good hands and having a great time.”
“Andria and her husband were wonderful! They were mindful of our pup’s needs and were very communicative. She updated us daily with pics of our pup enjoying his visit!”

Tynesha is absolutely amazing! She has great communication and sends as many updates as you would like. I never feel an ounce of worry when my dog is in her care and she follows instructions to a tee. I’ve returned to Tynesha and will continue to request her.
I had such a great experience with my dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my husky and made sure I felt at ease the entire time. They kept me updated regularly, sending photos and little notes about how my pup was doing. I could tell my husky was happy and well-exercised when I got back. If you need someone reliable and caring, I highly recommend them!
Caroline was absolutely wonderful with my dog Elphaba while we were away! She sent pictures and videos that showed Elphie having the best time! Caroline was kind, caring, and so very communicative. I knew Elphie was in the best hands during my family’s weekend trip. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Veronica is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of Tasha and truly went above and beyond. When Tasha was feeling a bit down and lost her appetite, Veronica didn't just ignore it—she actually went out and bought special food to encourage her to eat and spent extra time cheering her up. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the happiness and health of the pups she watches. Tasha came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone!
My little Muffin had a blast. I booked with Julhiffer again and while I was on vacation she always kept me updated with the cutest videos and pics of my dog having a ball. She creates such a warm and animal friendly atmosphere! She is amazing ! Thank you again!
If I could give Rosario more than five stars, I absolutely would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. My dog Luna loves Rosario and gets genuinely excited every time she stays at her home, which tells me everything I need to know. Rosario goes above and beyond in every possible way: she’s incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and keeps me constantly updated with Luna’s meals, activities, and the most adorable, professional quality photos (seriously, frame worthy). Her home is spacious, perfectly suited for dogs, and the large backyard is a dream for pups to run and play. Rosario is clearly a neighborhood favorite, and it’s easy to see why, she treats Luna like her own. I have complete peace of mind every time I leave Luna with her, and I honestly think Luna would move in if she could. We can’t wait to book with Rosario again!
This was Milo’s second stay with Jullien, and he once again provided excellent care for him. Jullien kept us updated every day and sent us pics of Milo’s adventures, and he was once again very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We are so happy that we found Jullien. It’s so reassuring to know that your pet will be comfortable and happy while you’re away. +++++++++
Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.
I highly recommend Briana. She took care of my 8 month old cavapoo puppy Ginger while my family was out of the country. She was professional, sent pictures and was always responsive. She cared about Gingers routine and was open to incorporating information provided. Ginger was happy in the pictures sent and adjusted appropriately for what was expected for her age/circumstance. Drop off and pick up was seamless. Gingers personal items were clean and well organized when I picked her up. I would definitely reach out to Brianna again if I needed someone to watch Ginger while I was away in the future.
Erika took excellent care of my foster dog Petals, while I was away for the weekend. She’s a very nervous dog and can be a little apprehensive when meeting new people but she was instantly right at home. She was never alone & was treated like a member of the family. I would book her again and again (and for my resident dog too!) thank you Erika!
