Kethely was great with my cat. My cat can be shy around new people sometimes, but she warmed up to Kethely very quickly. Would definitely trust Kethely with my cat again!

Barbara did an awesome job. She was very thorough with all of the outlined instructions for my cat care drop in visits. I was updated each visit exactly how much food was eaten and recieved pictures of my skittish cats if they were not in hiding. Barbara scooped the litter boxes, made sure to fill the water bowls and was kind enough to bring in my mail. She spent a good amount of time in my home with each visit and tried connecting with my cats. I would definitely recommend her services if you are looking for some good quality care and peace of mind.

About: My name is Christine and I've been working in pet care- dog walking, pet/house sitting and even dog grooming for 5+ years. I worked as a dog washer at In and Out Grooming in Garwood and am an avid dog walker. I've been a dog owner, and find pet care to be the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I love all breeds, and though I am small in stature I love walking big dogs! I can provide nail clippings and also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits. I have a very flexible schedule, outside of pet care I am pursuing a career in theater. Extremely flexible schedule! I have free daytime hours, while working on a theater schedule. Great for daytime walks and drop ins. Weekends available, don't hesitate to request! I have house sitting experience to keep your pets company while you're away! I've worked with many breeds and personalities of pet in the place they are most comfortable, happy to just spend time with them and adapt to their routines. I also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits.

Marlee watched our two cats with so much care! She left very thorough reports each day and was very communicative/responsive about anything that came up. She even came through in crisis - she arrived one day when there was smoke in the house/the smoke alarm was going off. We called the fire department and she stayed the entire time to make sure everything was ok. We are so grateful for her dedicated care!! 10/10 recommend.

This is the second time Emily has petsit for my 2 cats. As always she was amazing. My first experience was back in February when I had to go on an extended work trip for 10 days. Emily was amazing and my 2 cats warmed right up to her. She took such great care of them. She went above and beyond even making it to take care of them during the blizzard. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She will love your pets like they are her own making sure their needs are met while giving lots of play time and cuddles. She even got my extremely timid cat to take her medicine twice a day- an amazing feat!! Her updates and communication were thorough and put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area and will be booking her for my future pet sitting needs.

About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs of various breeds my whole life and have extensive volunteer experience working with rescue animals. Through this work, I have cared for pets with a wide variety of temperaments and needs, from those that are energetic to those requiring additional behavioral or medical support. As an Animal Science college student hoping to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, I am passionate about animal care and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently a college student on summer break, so my schedule is flexible for the next couple of months! My only other commitments at this time are volunteer positions which can be flexible. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort during each visit. I will ensure your pet is always supervised, and that each pet’s routine is followed properly. During walks, I prioritize matching your dog’s energy level while ensuring they are always securely leashed. I am also happy to provide regular updates to owners!

Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with over 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime, to senior dogs who need extra patience, medication, and gentle care—I’ve done it all. I’ve built my own dog sitting and walking business over the years, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving lots of cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. ✨ Experience includes: • Dog walking & drop-ins (30–60 mins) • Overnight stays in your home • Administering medication • Caring for puppies & senior dogs • Feeding, playtime, and lots of love I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority 💛 Let’s set up a meet & greet—I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I work remotely every other week, which means more time at home for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and extra attention 💛 Even on my in-office weeks, I stay consistent and reliable—your pet’s routine always comes first! I have always loved animals ever since I could remember, especially dogs. Whenever I care for other dogs, its always a pleasure. I have fenced yard and I am located near a close dog park to make sure your fur babies are staying active. I also have a dog myself that can keep your dogs company.

Love the notes that Steven leaves at the end of each visit to tell me about the progress of his interactions with my shyer cat and what he does with my more outgoing one! Makes each time I go on vacation a less stressful knowing my cats are in good hands and the notes and photos are always one of the highlights of my days away!

Justice is amazing. We live in Phoenix Az and my mother in law lives in Westfield NJ. She was hospitalized and Justice was there the next morning to help care for her two cats. I feel very lucky to have had her there and will call on her in the future if needed,

Shannon provided cat sitting for my two cats over a period of a week via daily drop ins. She was detailed and thorough in her meet and great. Shannon was intentive to my cats needs, kept me updated throughout my travel, and made sure to exercise my cats the best one can. She easily navigated my automated cat feeders, kept the litter box clean, and made sure to tidy up any messes the cats may have made between visits. I'm sure the boys will miss their daily play time and tube treat sessions with Shannon! Will be sure to book again.

This is the second time we are using Sara’s service, so this review is for our previous experience as well as this experience with Sara as our cat sitter: Sara is not just a cat sitter, she’s a care taker in general. She would keep the place clean, spend time with our cat Titan, send us prompt updates with pics and vids of Titan. She communicates very well and is a very kind person. We left a list of things to do for Titan’s care - she went above and beyond. We trust her so much and she is the ideal person you’d leave your precious animals with. You can always count on Sara!

Tiara was so amazing with our two kitties. It was the first time we were leaving them for vacation and we had also just moved into a new house a few weeks ago. They have always been unsure of guests in the home and always hide so we were a little nervous leaving them with a stranger. Tiara made sure to check on them every day, that they had food, water and a clean box. She was able to give our girl cuddles and by the last day she was even able to pet our very scared boy which made him feel more comfortable. She also cleaned up the litter that they tracked outside the box and left a goodie bag of treats and other stuff for them. You can really tell she has a lot of experience with animals cares for them and wants them to feel comfortable when their family is gone. We will definitely be using her again next time we are away!
