“Katie is excellent. She has been taking care of my pup for the past 3 weeks and knowing he is in her hands makes me feel very relieved on my long days at work. She provides detailed updates and has been incredibly flexible. I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for my sweet sensitive boy. I would book her 1000 times over”

“Dani was great and sent me pictures and video of my cat. I was very nervous leaving him since he needed insulin administered by needle and an inhaler for his asthma and she was great.”

“Bridget...terrific. She did a series of drop ins for my anxious/reactive dog, Gio...he does not warm up easily to new people. Bridget took great care of him, taking into account his somewhat guarded manner, and let him get used to her, to the point where he was happily accepting pets from her. Bridget was timely, good with communication and photos during the visits, and accommodating. I would heartily recommend her for taking care of your pets.”


“Paola was fantastic when we were away. She took care of the cats really well coming in twice. day. changed the litter, and turned on/off the lights and got the mail in. The house was in great shape when we got back and most importantly our cats were relaxed and peaceful. She communicated with us on the app daily and sent pictures also very responsive to any messages that I had sent. I would definitely ask her again.”

“Jill was wonderful taking care of our dog with drop-in visits while we were away. Communication was great and she took care of our dog like she was her own. We are so glad to have found Jill and hope to book her for all of our needs going forward!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with my furry friends. My mom likes to say I’m somewhat of a dog whisperer😂 I am home for the summer and available everyday. I work at the Florham Park Day-camp throughout the week. Hours are: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm I love to go on long walks with my own dog Ollie. Along with keeping well fed and happy. Im sure he would enjoy some company on his walks! Im prepared to care for any of your pet’s needs.
“So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.”

“Jordyn did a great job today with Dash. She was on time and immediately started playing with our puppy. Dash really took to her which put us at ease. We felt he was in good hands. Great job!”
“Really appreciated Nicole’s close attention to and care of our pets over an extended time away — including dealing with some unanticipated complications and getting to know each pet and providing fun and personalized care for each. Thanks so much!”
“Xiomara was amazing and so reliable! I was nervous leaving my cat home alone but she made it easy to relax and enjoy my vacation! She is wonderful and took great care of my cat and I would definitely recommend her for your pet needs! Thank you Xiomara <3”

“V was fantastic. She came over to meet our two dogs before our scheduled visit and both dogs immediately loved her. It’s clear she’s a dog lover! We will absolutely be reaching out again in the future”
About: I’ve been dog/cat sitting for five years, and pet sitting for rodents, reptiles, and even pigs for the past two. I’ve had dogs for my entire life, and currently have two very large dogs and a small dog with special medical needs. I am home from college for the summer and dog sit as a job, so I have plenty of time to spend pet sitting and dog walking. I am able to take care of dogs of all sizes and varying medical needs, whether you need a dog walker or someone to care for them overnight.
About: With two years of pet sitting experience, I can care for your pets during vacations, walk dogs early mornings or evenings before/after work, and I’m also available on weekends and holidays. Reliable and caring support whenever you need it. I offer pet care and dog walking early in the morning or in the evening, perfect for busy owners. I’m also available on weekends, providing reliable support and attention. Most walks and care will take place at your home, ensuring pets feel safe in their usual environment. For small animals, I can also host them at my place for a short time, giving them extra comfort and attention when needed.

About: I have had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember (since I was four, to be exact) - I know how to deal with the barking, gently wrestle a leash onto the wriggliest of pups, feed them on schedule even when they beg for early dinner, and give them all the love they could possibly need. I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after my dogs for years, and I am so excited to get to do that for other pups too! I am a college student home from school and have extreme flexibility with my schedule. I have a car, so I can drive to your house to take care of your pooch as needed at almost any time between 8 am and 6 pm. The most important thing for me when taking care of pets is their comfort. As much as I love to cuddle our fur babies, if they don’t like physical touch I will give them their space. I am happy to play tug of war, fetch, and even let them chase me around outside (I understand needs change depending on the breed). I feed them as instructed and on schedule (having trained myself to resist even the cutest of puppy eyes begging for extra treats) and make sure they only get what their owners have left for them to have. I also love taking dogs on walks for exercise, both for their sake and my own!
About: I give personalized care to every pet. I also have experience with dogs, whether it’s reinforcing basic training or providing attentive care, I adjust my approach to fit them. I plan my schedule around consistency and reliability. I make sure pets get timely walks, meals, playtime and specific care they need. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I intentionally structure my time around. In a client’s home I focus on maintaining their normal schedule so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at ease.

Leigh is our go-to sitter. She takes wonderful care of our fur babies every time, leaves lots of pictures and helpful notes each day, and follows medication instructions for our cat with a thyroid condition to the letter. Leaving our pets in her care gives us complete peace of mind. We are grateful to have found her!
Kendall saved our plans after our usual sitter flaked out at the last minute. She came by the day before to meet the dogs with pretty much no notice. One of our puppies is very high energy and I could tell that he'd been run around enough while we were gone. She was very communicative and kept us updated all day. I'm sure we'll be using her again!

I highly recommend Emily! She was able to check in on Ellie and JimBob on very short notice, which I appreciated so much. Ellie is elderly and can be difficult to care for, but Emily handled everything with patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. She kept me informed, made sure the dogs were comfortable, and gave Ellie the gentle care she needs. I truly felt at ease knowing they were in her hands. I’ll definitely booking with her again!
