Katie was phenomenal. She picked up over a week of pet sitting when our sitter fell through a week before our departure. Our kids LOVED her frequent updates and photos. Katie even helped schedule and extra visit when snow interrupted our return.

As always Alexandra was amazing with my dog. He’s really warmed up to her and has started to enjoy her company and we can step out knowing he’s well taken care of.

Lucas stayed with our pup, in our home, and did a wonderful job keeping us posted. Our dog needs walked with a muzzle. Lucas was able to accommodate and keep him safe and cared for while we were away.

About: I have helped take care of my family's dog since she was a puppy. I have also looked after neighbors' dogs by taking them for walks, stopping by to feed or play with them, or staying overnight to care for them. I am currently a senior in college with a fairly light class schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! In general, on Wednesdays I am only available in the morning and late afternoon/evening. Most other days I am pretty free/flexible. I want to ensure I know everything I need to about your pet's personality, health, and behavior so that I can best take care of them. I want to make your pet comfortable with me, whether that's going on a familiar walking route or snuggling on the couch!

Renee went above and beyond watching our dog Gobi! He is a cautious pup but he quickly warmed up to her and she let him go at his pace. He also has a special diet and she kindly made his lunch for him and sent me awesome pictures while I was at work. She also took him out on extra walks especially when he looked like he had to poop not at his usual time which I really appreciated! We will definitely ask Renee to watch Gobi again in the future. Thank you so much!

Tiffany is the best dog sitter in Jersey City! 👏We are so happy we chose her to care for our special needs German Shepherd dog Nellie. She is a dog whisperer and was so good with our girl. Thank you for going the extra mile Tiffany. We hope we get to have you care for Nelly again next time we are in town.❤️

This is my second time using Kat in just two weeks, and I’m so glad I found her. I have a large, reactive Golden Retriever, and Kat handles her calmly and confidently, especially on walks where my dog can pull. She’s very aware of triggers and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. She makes sure my dog gets real time outside, including the park (her favorite), not just quick potty breaks. Kat is always on time, sends lots of updates, is genuinely kind and caring, and leaves my apartment exactly how I left it. Easily the best sitter experience I’ve had. I already have her reserved for a 2-week stay next month.

Michelle’s profile is mostly about her love of and gift with dogs, but let me tell you she is a cat person/lover of all animals for sure! She stayed at our place for two weeks while we were out of the country for a wedding and we were SO comforted to know that our senior cat Alfie was in good hands. Michelle took copious notes about his care, was mindful of making sure he was eating right and taking his medication, and loved on him so good! She sent pictures and updates - and it was clear that Alfie took a liking to snuggling with her and sleeping with her. She seemed to really enjoy him as well, and it always feels good to know that your fur baby is in caring hands. She was communicative and reliable (and funny!), and our home was in good shape upon our return. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michelle and hope to work with her again!

My dog looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every visit. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and more recently, have taken care of a new family puppy or kitten 4 years straight (my family loves pets). From Yorkies to Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, I take pride in my passion for animals. I’m a full time student, but am on campus and can reach anywhere in Hoboken on any given day. My routine is always fluid and I can easily schedule multiple appointments. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the utmost care, love, and attention. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I show the same respect for the space as I do for the pet—ensuring both comfort and peace of mind while you’re away.

Brooke was the absolute best with Penny! She did such an amazing job of keeping our senior dog active but with plenty of rest. When we came home, Penny was snoozing away , no barking nothing, which means Brooke clearly made her feel super comfortable. Would have her back whenever- she’s also an amazing house guest.

Lexis was absolutely outstanding when taking care of my Phoebe!! I reached out last minute for availability on house sitting and she showed up on time and was very understanding of our dogs situation. When we came back, we were welcome by a fed, walked, and very happy puppy. Thank you very much Lexis!!

Lauren took such great care of our puppy. Our puppy struggles with separation anxiety and Lauren was so patient and kind to him. Lauren helped reinforce Charlie’s training plan and we are so grateful for her support and willingness to jump in. Our dog Charlie felt comfortable, safe, and calm with Lauren. Absolutely would trust Lauren to take care of our Charlie again. Thank you Lauren!

As always, superbly caring, attentive, and patient with my crew of absolute misfits! My 5 cats are a lot of work and messy as hell. One cat in particular has a lot of chronic conditions and he always gives Kristina a run for her money but she handles it like the absolute professional she is. Both the cats and myself love her and feel so lucky when she can give me a break from the kitty madness.
