“Best decision was choosing Stacia J as Stack’s pet sitter!! Stacia really cares about (& for) your pup. She sends updates & pics during their stay & of course is open to any of your dog’s special requests. Her house is lovely and her yard and setup are perfect for boarding. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that along with all the playtime (or nap time depending on your dog’s needs) they also get morning & evening walks. My dog doesn’t usually smile for pictures but was all smiles during his time with Stacia J and family. He’ll be back for sure and it’s a comfortable knowing he’ll be in excellent hands. For anyone unfamiliar with the area.. Stacia J is in Linden close to the Cranford boarder.. easy access from most major highways”
“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾”

“This was my first time using Rover for our dog. Marlene was patient with myself and our dog! She was so easy to communicate with. Very responsive! She would update us regarding our dog’s stay daily and our dog seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. So glad we found her and we would certainly use her again.”
“We had left our golden retriever Bentley with Bhavani very recently and he had an amazing time with her , when your dog comes back happy, contended you know that they had a great time ! Bhavani and her family are very warm and took very good care of Bentley. Bhavani was very meticulous to gather all the instructions , she was very prompt in sending updates and videos. She was on point will all the communication. We felt very confident leaving Bentley with her. If you are looking for a home away from Home for your fur baby, don’t look any further . Bentley is definitely looking forward for his next stay there and so are we !”

All of the videos and photos show how happy Frazier is interacting with the family and also his own little space for “alone time” which cats love.

About: I am American Red Cross First Aid Certified I am insured & offer weekend and some weekly pup play & stay. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with supervised playtime, cuddles, attention, and a safe place to relax while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable and connected during their stay. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a calm, comfortable environment with lots of companionship. I’m available most weekends for boarding, daycare, and play stays. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, walks, cuddles, and rest throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and at home. I have two friendly toy poodles and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Dogs in my care can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy a calm, loving environment. I also understand some dogs prefer their own space, so I’m happy to provide separate quiet time away from my pups when needed.
“If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍”

Jennifer did amazing with Max. He had a great time and enjoyed her family. He is older but does not like to be alone, thankfully Jennifer was always near him to reassure his nerves. I am glad she was close to home and available to help our little guy be safe while we enjoyed our trip.
The best ! Mozzy ALWAYS HAS best experiences! Our dog sitter is absolutely amazing — reliable, caring, attentive, and treats Mozzy like family. I always receive updates, photos, and had complete peace of mind while away. Mozzy came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely great with dogs!
Victor and Lessly did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were away for a long weekend. It was clear that they treated him like family and he was well loved and entertained. We really appreciated the regular photos and updates about his day, and that they were extremely responsive. We highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to them whenever we are going out of town without our pup again!
Sharon did a great job watching my dog! She was very attentive and made sure to follow all the care instructions. She also sent regular updates and let me know how everything was going, which made me feel really at ease while I was away. I could tell my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
This was Langston’s second stay with Sharon, and from the moment we arrived, I knew he was excited—he literally dragged me to her front door! Sharon is amazing and sent frequent videos every day, which I truly appreciated. I was completely at peace while out of the country knowing my little fur baby was in such great hands.
Sam was wonderful at sitting my two dogs Vivian and Tiger. My dogs are on the high energy side and can be a handful especially Tiger who is rambunctious. Sam was gentle and easy going with my dogs and especially took care of Tiger who unfortunately was not feeling well that day due to a new brand of dog food not agreeing with his stomach. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter.
Awesome pet service. I would highly recommend as a boarding service for your dog for your next vacation! They did not only take care of my dog incredibly but also provided updates daily on how my dog is as doing. They also were available to answer my questions throughout my dog’s stay! Amazing service.
