“So incredibly happy that we booked Joseph to watch our cats while we were away. They took to him immediately- and with cats, that can be a challenge. We had peace of mind knowing that our babies were taken care of. He was fantastic.”

“Kaitlynn was very thorough and thoughtful throughout her care of our cat, Grits. She was also very knowledgeable which gave me so much peace of mind heading out the door! She even took initiative with extra tasks, which made things easier as we settled back in. Thank you, Kaitlynn!! Will definitely get in touch next time we need eyes on our cat.”
“My dog was recently diagnosed with vertigo which made her general care a bit more difficult. Joe showed up like the amazing guy he is and took SUCH good care of her! He followed my instructions to a “T,” asked clarifying questions, and gave me constant updates on how she was doing. You could tell that he became invested in her journey to recovery too!”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! I have experience with pets of all personalities — from sassy calicos with lots of attitude to nervous, anxious furry friends who need extra patience and love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! :) I work full time so I have the most flexibility on Friday-Monday. For weekdays I am available 6am-8am and 5pm-8pm. On Mondays and Fridays I am also available between 12-2. I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses every day. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs — whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or full of attitude!

I do not have a yard unfortunately.

“Leaving my animals for any length of time has always been stressful. As they've gotten older they now require medication which changes the level of worry 10 fold. Elizabeth took excellent care of my cats. Delivered medication correctly, and gave them lots of love. Honestly, it's all I could ever ask for.”
About: Hello! My name is Madeline and I am 29 years old. I live in a luxury building in Hackensack, NJ. This building is complete with a fenced-in play area for dogs, as well as multiple paths for walking! I live alone with my 5 year old mini golden doodle Miley. Miley gets along with all dogs of all sizes, and she loves to play, so she’s a great companion for your furry friend :) I’ve raised and trained Miley since she was a puppy, and before that, I helped raise 3 different family dogs of all ages. I work from home sometimes, and am always doing something with my dog when not at work! I am happy to entertain your dog at my home, or to take them for a drive to a dog park or local trail. I love all dogs and have always grown up around them, and will be sure to send many pictures updating you on our activities! I currently work full-time, so I am available for weekday evenings as well as weekends to watch your doggos and cats! If you have date nights or weekend getaway trips, I am available to come over to dog, cat, or house sit! If you need something during the day starting at 3:30, I can make that work too. I give my girl Miley a lot of attention. She has a lot of energy, so we love to play after work and on the weekends. Miley loves to go for long walks outside at the park, and also the dog park where she can play fetch off the leash and socialize with other dogs. Miley likes to grab whatever is on the ground and eat it, so I make sure to keep a very clean environment as well as always pay attention to what my dog is doing. Miley also loves the snow, so I always make sure to clean/wash her feet when we come inside. As much as I love paw prints, I hope to keep them off my floor and furniture, and I will do the same for you! I will be sure to always be paying attention to your dog, as well as send lots of fun and cute updates as to what we are doing! :)
About: [PSA 1st-2nd week of May - limited moderate and no high energy bookings due to medical] Hello! I have years of pet care experience under my belt. Throughout my childhood I was able to grow my love and knowledge of many animals. I had cats dogs and small mammals like hamsters and bunnies growing up I got to help care for and learn about. During my teen years I helped family friends and neighbors with their pets including cats, dogs and even goats and chickens. With a solid foundation in feeding, walking, grooming, medicating, and playing with animals, I look forward to meeting and helping out many more pets throughout my twenties and beyond. I’m currently looking to go back to school, growing my expertise as a pet walker and sitter, and taking care of my own pets. I’ll have the free time and consistent schedule to check in and provide care for local pets as well. Safety trust and environment are a must when it comes to pet care. Environmentally I have my eyes peeled for hazards that could harm or cause illness in an animal, and remove those things to where they can’t be a problem. In building trust, I start every interaction with pet psychology in mind. I let them approach me with all of their senses first. Once they become interested in getting to know me, I can continue to show them I’m a safe person through gentle and secure actions on my part like walking carefully and taking softly.

Emma took very good care of my cat, Cactus. She played with him gave him pets and treats, and sent me a nice report each day with fun pictures. Without a doubt, Emma is a caring cat (pet) lover and most reliable. Cactus was very well cared for with Emma - he was in good hands. Thanks so much!
Kerri did a great job taking care of our cat, Ash, while we were away on vacation. She arrived every day at the agreed-upon time, completed the tasks we requested, and even took extra time to play with our kitty. She communicated with us each day, giving us the peace of mind that everything was OK while we were away. Kerri is definitely the first one I'm calling for our next vacation.
Kaitlynn was very thorough and thoughtful throughout her care of our cat, Grits. She was also very knowledgeable which gave me so much peace of mind heading out the door! She even took initiative with extra tasks, which made things easier as we settled back in. Thank you, Kaitlynn!! Will definitely get in touch next time we need eyes on our cat.
Joe did such an amazing job taking care of our three pets recently, including a couple of challenging dogs. Joe connected instantly with all our pets. He kept my wife and I posted on how everything was going and took great care of our home while we were gone. Joe is highly responsible, professional, and very easy to deal with.
