Adriana was amazing and Bella was well cared for and happy. Adriana went above and beyond with our home and pup and it was a pleasure to arrive home to a house that was in much better shape than when we left. And we had a constant stream of happy pictures of Bella on top of everything else! Our pup has some health issues which Adriana handled like a pro and I was able to be away for a couple days and feel that Bella was well cared for in our absence. I would not hesitate to have Adriana back again to take care of Bella.

I could not have found a better dog sitter. Lisa was simply amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure. Cappy’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. She was compassionate and empathetic, not only towards Cappy, but to me as well, as I am a recent widow. You will not find a more kind or caring dog sitter. I highly recommend Lisa. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

If I could give Marissa 10 stars, I would. From the moment we met at my home for the "meet and greet", I felt at ease and my anxious almost 2 1/2 year-old Yorkie took to Marissa right away. Unfortunately, he's not very socialized with people or other dogs. Marissa was great with him from the moment they met. I had to have surgery, and unfortunately, I had to be at the surgeon's office at 7:00 am, which is 1 1/2 hours away so I had to leave my house by 5:30 am. When I mentioned to Marissa that she had to be here at 5:30 am, she didn't hesitate for a moment. She was not only punctual, but knowing I was extremely nervous about getting there on time, she arrived 10 minutes early. Marissa is very sweet and caring, and Harley was a happy boy with her here. I will definitely have Marissa stay with him again should I need to use a sitter in the future. If anyone is searching for a pet sitter in this area, I highly recommend Marissa! Thank you again, Marissa from Harley and Harley's Mom! ❤️

Alexandra would be an amazing dog sitter! Her love for dogs goes all the way back to when she was a toddler. We have two dogs of our own and she LOVES to spend time with them, care for them, and shower them with lots of love. Alexandra is a full time college student, attending Penn State University and works a part time job while she’s home. She is very responsible, reliable, and a very hard worker. She will certainly make your dog top priority !

Tori did an amazing job taking care of my cat while our family was away in Florida for several months a year. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was clear that my cat was in good hands. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was there to take care of him. She’s reliable, responsible, and truly cares about animals. I highly recommend her services for anyone in need of a trustworthy cat sitter!

Gabrielle loves animals. She was devoted to her cat "Merlin" who survived 20 years until she lost him last summer. She cared faithfully for her dog "Lucy" for more than 10 years as well. She often sits for her mom's dog "Darcy" or her aunt's dog as needed. Gabby is a loving, sensitive, punctual and dependable woman. She is very detailed oriented and thoughtful as well. She works as a part time librarian in the Ocean County system and enjoys a flexible schedule there. One should have no reservation in requesting her services.

Steven is my son who has always been passionate with dogs. He has had dogs his whole life and always put them above all. Unfortunately his latest dog Cali. A rescue recently passed away at the age of 12 with a brief sickness of cancer. The last week of Cali’s like he took off work, was by her side constantly and slept on the floor with her. Steven always took her to parks and would walk her constantly. They were known around the neighborhood. I know Steven would care for dogs as if they were his. He truly has a love for dogs.

Caitlyn was a Godsend. In 15 years of having our fur babies, this is the first time that we needed pet-sitting help from someone who's not a family member. She came over the same day to meet us, and she was a hit with my husband and my parents who were visiting. Even two of our pets who are extremely shy eventually warmed up to her while we were away. Most importantly was someone who can give meds, and she handled that like a pro. Now that I know I can have this level of peace of mind with our pets, I will definitely hire Caitlyn again.

Crystal has been the best friend a dog could ever ask for!! She loves every pet in her care as she would her very own human children! I’d recommend using Crystal for both long or short term care for your pet.

I have 2 English bulldogs, one is a senior, 7 years old and one is a puppy 8 weeks old. Brittney has provided drop-in care for both of them. They both warmed up to her right away as she showed them love! She even tidied up and took out our trash! Highly recommended for your fur needs!

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals (lived on a farm). I love Pitbull and all kinds of cats. I volunteer with Paws For Cause, we help raise money to shelters, donate our time working to clean and care for all the animals. Buring high school I walked dogs for a little extra cash and would be happy to get back into it. I'm currently a full-time student, I also am a full-time over night stocker at walmart. I have a few hours in between my classes at OCC and would love to stop in and look after your pet or even walk a dog for an hour or so. As I've said before I'm an over night worker. I can watch you pet during the day at your house and leave at night for working and come back during my hour lunch if that's something you are looking for. I can try and work my schedule around yours and what you need. I'm great with animals and would keep your furry friend busy. I love walks and would enjoy getting to know your four legged friend. We would probably become selfie buddy's and of course I can keep you informed of all that happens during our time together with photo and text messages. Your house would look just the way you left it. Taking care of your furry friend also means keeping them clean and happy and I'd be happy to help.

Allison did an excellent job watching our doberman pinscher and husky-shepherd in our home for 8 days. She gave us daily updates and pictures. We feed the dogs raw food and she was able to follow all of the feeding directions. She left our house extremely clean. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to other people.
