“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we booked Angelica at the last minute. Luckily, she was available and flexible enough to arrive at 6am and take care of Archie all day. Communication was excellent, and Angelica sent pics throughout the day. Will definitely book Angelica again.”


“Milena & Fernando are simply the best. They house sat our apartment for the weekend to take care of our 10 week old puppy who needed 24/7 attention and they were so great, trustworthy, caring, and responsive. They gave us updates with lots of pictures and videos all the time, reinforced everything we’ve been trying to teach him, and even taught him new tricks. Our puppy loved them and we feel so lucky we found them. 10/10 recommend”


“Seamless experience! First time leaving Meeko (7mo) alone for a couple of days. Eliza was great, receptive and would provide pic updates on a daily basis. Would highly recommend. Nuria”


“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”


About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and love: just like if you were there.


“Diana was great! She came through in the clutch after we had a last minute sitter cancellation. She spent quality time with Dinho multiple times a day, called right away the one time Dinho was acting up, and was easy to coordinate with. Would definitely book her again!”


“Melissa was excellent. She sent photos of my dog having fun every day. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. Melissa is a responsible, warm person. I highly recommend her.”



“Michael and Durell are lovely. Durell watched our dogs (one elderly dog and one very active puppy) at our home and they were very happy! Thank you!”

“I pre booked a house sitting with Omar and his wife because I did not have someone who was definitely going to watch my bulldog. So to be safe I booked Omar. I had a meet and greet with him and his wife and they were so exited to pleas I was very impressed by there enthusiasm. Unfortunately my pooch did not get to Jersey in time for him to watch hence why I only gave 4 stars because I was not able to get the service so was not able to judge whole process .Which was not their fault just timing . Im sure though they would of been great pet sitters from the vibe I got from them In our meeting .So will be booking with them again soon!”


“Magdalena did an amazing job watching our cat Toccata and house sitting for 5 days. She sent photos and videos every day, putting us at ease knowing our fur baby was happy and healthy. She was very kind and seemed to genuinely enjoy hanging out with Toccata! She kept our home clean and went above and beyond taking out all the trash before she left.

About: I have cared for my family’s pets and have always had animals by my side. I have a strong affinity for animals and truly enjoy their companionship. Most of the pets I’ve cared for have been large-breed dogs, but I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have also had other pets such as turtles, hamsters, and chickens, which has given me experience with different species. I have no problem looking after energetic puppies or calm senior dogs. I know how to care for them, respect them, and provide the attention and love they need. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I have a job, but in my free time I enjoy caring for and spending time with pets. They bring me a lot of joy, and I know I also bring them calm and happiness. For me, it’s a beautiful way to give back to the community by providing love and care to those who can’t always be with their furry friends. In my clients’ homes and during walks, I ensure a safe and clean environment for pets. I make sure to constantly supervise the animals to avoid any risks and respect their individual needs so they feel comfortable and confident. I am very cautious with the products I use for your pet’s care and grooming, as I understand that each pet has its own family and habits. My goal is to treat your furry friend exactly as you do, respecting their routines and providing the affection they deserve. My priority is to offer care that brings peace of mind to both pets and their owners.

About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.

“Nicole was great! She watched our two dogs while we were away one night, and kept us posted with photos and updates the entire time. She was very thoughtful and caring with our fur babies, and has a clear love and appreciation of animals.”
