“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“Rochelle did a great job boarding our two cats for two weeks while we had some work being done at our house. Her setup is great - she works from home, so they aren't alone most of the day. Professional and accommodating. Clearly loves cats and sent daily pictures. I'd absolutely recommend her services!”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“Angela (and her partner Dan) took great care of Truffle. They sent meticulous updates with photos throughout the day. Truffle got to spend plenty of time outside and was very comfortable in their home.”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Theo was so happy when we picked him up! We’re so glad we found our go-to sitter in the city. Michael and his wife kept us updated with great communication and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Theo was well cared for and having a great time. We would absolutely book with them again in the future! 🐾😊”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“Great pet sitter! My dog is excited every time he sees them. Super accommodating. My dog has a strict diet and they had no problem with handling it. Always go above and beyond while taking care of Jeter. Highly recommend!”
“Farrah had another fantastic stay at Ian and Clementina’s! They shared numerous updates, photos, and videos during her multi day stay at their apartment, and came back super happy!!”
About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.
“It was a great experience boarding our 10 years old Lab with them. Updates and photos were shared promptly. I will definitely book them again and recommend them to others as well.”
“Minako & Yoshi are such wonderful, kind, caring and warm people. It was my first time to leave my Shiba Inu pup with petsitters while my husband and I went on vacation. Both Minako & Yoshi did their best to take care of our little girl whilst we were away - by making sure that Tsuki got lots of exercise and giving her the love & attention she needed in our absence. Whilst we were away, we were sent daily picture updates which really helped keep my mind at ease too! They even invited Tsuki & I out to the dog park after we returned. We are definitely looking forward to keeping a long-term relationship with Minako & Yoshi!”
“Our dog Sylvie loves staying with Kira and her family. We appreciate that Kira shares frequent updates on how our dog is doing and is flexible with scheduling as needed. Thanks for everything Kira!!”
“Not only did my dogs love Eduardo, but he went above and beyond by coming home from vacation early to accommodate us. He also bought my dog Francie a brand new harness when her old one broke. We have booked with Eduardo several times and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Orlando and Christina were absolute lifesavers when it came to caring for Moose! They were incredibly attentive, sending daily updates and adorable pictures that truly put our minds at ease while away. Their genuine love and dedication made us feel like our pup was in the best hands possible. I can't recommend them enough for anyone in need of top-notch pet sitting services! Thank you again Orlando & Christina!!”

I had to find someone to watch my dog overnight on short notice, and I’m so glad I found Eduardo! He was incredibly friendly, communicative, and took great care of her. I really appreciated that he introduced her to the other dogs gradually instead of all at once, which helped her feel more comfortable. He even let her sleep with him, so I knew she was getting lots of attention and wasn’t stressed being away from home. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Thank you Maria for taking such great care of my dog on such short notice! Bailey had a wonderful stay with you and was so happy to meet his new twin. He even learned how to wear shoes! It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We truly appreciate everything you did.
Jocelyn was great with our little Italian greyhound Lily. She met with us before hand the stay and even picked up and dropped off Lily. She was easy to communicate with, caring and sent regular updates with photos and videos. I hope to have her watch Lily again!
Grace is the absolute best sitter in Jersey City! She has always gone above and beyond while treating my guy, Marshall, like her own. She is kind, thoughtful, and keeps you updated with tons of photos and videos while you are away. Grace is the only sitter I would consider in the future.
Starry and Gio were great! I left my puppy with them for a day and everything went well :) they were always very responsive and understanding about my dog's needs (which were many given he's a small puppy). They sent multiple pictures to make sure I was tranquil I would leave Buddy with them again!
Leaving my dog with someone new for the first time was something I was incredibly nervous about, but Saldin made me feel comfortable from our very first interaction. As a dog mom, I wanted someone who would care for my baby the way I do, and she exceeded every expectation. She cared for my dog for four days and kept me updated the entire time. She sent so many pictures and videos, along with regular updates about my dog's behavior, which gave me so much peace of mind. Seeing videos of my dog giving her kisses and having such a great time reassured me that my pup felt safe, happy, and loved. One thing that really stood out to me is how genuinely caring Saldin is. When she talks about the dogs she's cared for, she refers to each one by their name instead of just saying "the dog." She remembers them and treats each one as her own family which speaks volumes about how much she truly loves and connects with the pets in her care. She also made sure my dog got plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Saldin is incredibly sweet, communicative, thoughtful, and reassuring. I never had to wonder how my baby was doing because she always kept me informed. I can't recommend Saldin enough! If you're looking for someone who will treat your baby like family and give you complete peace of mind while you're away, she's the one!!!!
As usual, Penny had the best time with Aashika and her dog Milo. I received daily updates with plenty of pictures and Penny was so happy in all of the pictures. I especially appreciate how careful Aashika was with the recent heat wave and making sure Penny still got plenty of exercise and playtime even if she couldn’t really go on walks. I look forward to booking again!
Jessica and her children were great with my corgis Misty and Loki. I could see that they loved the stay. She also made sure to send pics and updates everyday. She sure provided comfort in mind while I was away and really appreciate the great care. Will definitely request again!
I boarded my rescue 3 year old puppy with Jazmin over the holiday weekend. He seemed to have enjoyed his time with her and he certainly made himself at home. I picked him up and he was not stressed from his boarding stay. While I was away, Jazmin responded in a timely manner when I had any questions and provided several photos. I would consider boarding our 3 year old puppy with her again. Thank you Jazmin!
