“I was really stuck in a last-minute center just for one night And brian did a great job! Definitely recommend I would definitely use Brian again. Mickey, my bull terrier was very happy with Bryan !”


2. Skye R.

“Skye pet sat for my dog Chevy in my home for nearly two weeks. He treated Chevy like he was his own pet, with great care and compassion. I was able to enjoy my time away much more knowing Chevy was in good hands. Skye sent me photos, videos and updates all the time. I highly recommend Skye for any of your pet needs!”


3. Courtney Y.

“Courtney was amazing! She was punctual, very communicative, and took great care of the dogs. She sent pictures throughout the day and we were very comfortable leaving her alone in our home!”


4. Margaret P.

“Maggie does a great job. The dogs love her. They are happy to see her and sad to see her go. They and we look forward to seeing her again. Really reassured when she's with the dogs while we're away.”

7. Mark S.

“Mark took wonderful care of Lulu and provided her with entertainment. We could see she was having a good time from the photos he provided to us. Thanks Mark.”




8. Angelica A.

“Angelica was so attentive to Max, our 13 week Cavapoo. I got lots of photos and video throughout the weekend. He was so happy playing and snuggling with Angelica and didn’t have any accidents on the rugs. I would recommend Angelica without reservation. She left the house tidier than it was before the weekend!”


9. Courtney H.
“I know from a father's perspective my view is skewed/biased - but I really don't know any other young adult (as she was as a child) that is pours so much visible generosity and genuine compassion into her interactions with people and pets (By people, I include babies......and lumping them all together, Babies & Pets probably get the most from Courtney's generous compassion)! Courtney has been around pets (cats/dogs) all of her life. She's been a proud and caring owner of cats.....all of which she's loved as a mother loves their children (i.e. playing games, creating costumes, engaging in human conversations....and at times as a young child, having 'human expectations' from them such as sitting at the table for dinner, watching TV with her, attempts to bring them to school with her, and playing interactive games like tag, and hide-n-seek)!! Courtney also comes from an extended family of pet owners (dogs & cats) where she had grown-up caring for them in multiple ways; pet sitting, dog-walking, secret attempts to adopt them for herself, and real-life phone calls & conversations - not kidding, she would call her cat using a cell phone and expect the cat to engage. The bottom line is that Courtney makes every effort to show her love for pets any time she is around them. If given the responsibility to care for any pet(s), she'll care for them as if they were her own. If it's your pet that you may be using Courtney to care for.... best prepare yourself for that pet finding a new 'best friend' in Courtney (and I recommend storing away your pet's ownership papers as well....it won't be Courtney that takes them, it'll be your pet because they'll want to leave with Courtney when her job is finished :-)”


10. Maura F.
“Leaving your pet without someone is never easy. But leaving them in the care of Maura would be one of the best things you could do for your pets. She lovingly cares for all animals. Giving them love and lots of attention whenever she is around. She cares for young and old pets, even those with special needs and always does so like they are her own. Highly recommended!!”


11. Jim B.

“Jim was great! Our dogs are a lot of work. Louis is 16 and Stella (11) has many many allergies. Jim took great care of them. He did medicine, lots of carrying around, and of course cuddling! He kept me informed with what was going on. I felt comfortable having him stay in our house.”


12. Reese S.

“Reese is great! She is responsible and works hard to make my dog comfortable when I’m not home! She takes care of her in the way any pet owner would be happy with and I feel at ease when she house sits and dog sits when I am away! We love Reese!”


13. Brian T.
“I’ve known Brian for 10 years and he is the best! He is a thoughtful, compassionate, punctual and responsible person. Our friends, including myself, have trusted Brian to watch and/or walk our pets for extended periods when needed. He always rises to the occasion and can be relied on to do a great job. Our dogs love him! Any dog would be lucky to have Brian look after them.”


14. Julia D.
“Julia is the best! She did a great job watching my Cavalier King Charles while I traveled for work. She was responsible for feeding, walking and giving multiple medications. I'd highly recommend her to others.”


15. Maria C.
About: I’v watched and cared for both cats and dogs. I educated myself to understand their behavior; how to respect their boundaries; and to provide trust. I’m currently working a part-time job. If you need to sit for a pet overnight on the days I work, I can pick them up after 8. I have a fenced yard, if there is a spat between your pet and mine; I have rooms to separate the two. They will be treated with the upmost care and respect by everyone in my home.


16. Kelley T.
About: Hi neighbors, I’m Kelley! I have been a babysitter and pet care provider for over 10 years for friends and family. Dogs (and many other pets) have been a part of my life since I was born, from chihuahuas to akitas. Whether your pet loves walks, pets, play, or needs a bit of time to warm up, I am comfortable and adaptive to their needs. I have experience with medication management and injections, following schedules and feeding routines, and will always enjoy snuggles and play time! I am always happy to chat and answer any questions you may have for me, and look forward to hearing from you. :) I have the flexibility to work with your routine whether it is working from your home or blocking off time for walks or medications/feeding. Booking in advance ensures that I will be able to meet your schedule! I am a reliable, trustworthy person who will always respect your space and care for your pet like my own. I can provide references upon request.


17. Claudia U.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for a full year, this will be my second year. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two bichon cavaliers, and in the past I have had Dobermans and Havaneses. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and will be returning to Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own two! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.


18. Meghan C.

“Meghan was great house sitting our dog for a second time. She communicated well before and during her booking and we felt very reassured that our pup was being well looked after.”


19. Suzana R.
“We had the pleasure of having Suzana house-sit for us while we were away, and we couldn’t be more pleased! From the start, she was incredibly organized and kept to a reliable schedule, which put our minds at ease. Our pet, Honey, was in great hands; Suzana made sure to stick to her routine and gave her plenty of love and attention. One of the things we appreciated most was how proactive she was in keeping us updated. She sent us regular pictures and updates, which really reassured us that Honey was happy and well cared for. Additionally, Suzana left the house spotless and tidy, which was the cherry on top. We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely reach out again next time!”


20. Daniel D.
About: I am very attentive. I also teach music to autistic adults so I’m always learning about people and myself. I love the energy of animals. I’m working part time at a behavioral center for autistic adults. So I have plenty of time on weekends and throughout the day. Even nights work for me. By knowing all the information about the pet’s needs and habits, I work from there. My family and I share a puppy so I am constantly mothering.
