Megan was a fantastic sitter for our two pups. She was kind enough to meet them prior to our weekend away and gave us daily updates. She communicated well and left our home tidy! Thank you again Megan!

Michael is the BEST. He took care of our house and our cats with patience, humor, respect, and care. He sent photos, funny info, and kept us updated on their antics. A couple of things went wrong in the house while we were away (nothing to do with Michael) and he handled them with complete grace. I felt at ease while we were away and would not hesitate to hire Michael again. And again!! We recommend him 200%!!

The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.

Marquis did a fantastic job caring for my Braxton while I away. He sent me updates daily with photos, and made sure Braxton never felt alone (Braxton has bad separation anxiety). I will definitely be booking Marquis in the future.

About: I’ve been blessed to walk, sit & board my friends/Neighbors/family dogs since I was about 11, I fell in love immediately! I’m not a vet or anything but me being very sympathetic for animals has always earned me a new little furry bestfriend. Even strangers dogs love to interact with me, I’m like part of the pack! I am currently working Full time as a dog walker/Sitter!! Weekends I am free but I am a youth football coach so if you have pups who love kids & running around I’d love for them to tag along! I am also a pro gamer so 1 day in a week/weekend I travel out of NJ & come back next morning. I have a well sized gated backyard & my neighbor has a pack of dogs that can keep your pups company besides me, no grass unfortunately but I live by parks & have grass on the block. Inside I have 4 spacious rooms they can wander around, hardwood floors so very easy to clean up after.

Caitlin did an excellent job taking care our our 1 year old newfoundland and our cat. If you know anything about teenage newfoundlands, you know that they can be criminals of opportunity. Caitlin kept Teddi out of trouble, and I would highly recommend Caitlin to care for your pets.

Whenever we need to travel and family isn’t around we get super anxious as we can’t trust just anyone with our amazing dog, Peach, who is dog aggressive. Finding Jonnie took that anxiety away. Upon meeting him, he took great interest in Peach and her routines. He walked her and took plenty of notes. He also met up with us again before leaving. By the time we left, my anxiety was gone. Jodie took perfect care of Peach, and our house. He also sent a TON of pictures, morning, midday and evening, which really comforted my wife and I. It was nice to see Peach hanging out in our home and at content in our absence. I highly recommend Jonnie.

I was so nervous finding a new sitter for Bella since she can be a bit quirky. Nathalia was so sweet, kept me up to date on what they were doing, and sent great pictures. She went above and beyond for us! Thank you so much, we can’t wait for the next sit :)

Marlita was absolutely amazing! She was kind enough to meet Lou ahead of time, and listen to all my crazy cat mom instructions, haha. She was SO communicative during my trip and sent me so many pictures and videos! It really reassured me; leaving Lou at home during my trip was my biggest worry and having such an amazing caregiver for him took a huge weight off my shoulders. She's definitely his permanent babysitter now, haha. She cares so much for animals and you can tell she truly enjoys being with them. ?

Giancarlo has taken care of my dog before and he is just great! My dog is older and sometimes can be needy, thankfully Giancarlo is patient and very loving so my dogs needs are always met. He walks him daily, cuddles with him and plays with him. My dog loves him and is super comfortable around Giancarlo! 10/10!
