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.

Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.

Taylor took such great care of Fay and Jill the cats while I was traveling. They are often a little shy but they clearly loved her visits and their time together. Taylor sent detailed updates and multiple photos every time. I have already booked Taylor again next time when I'm out of town!

About: I’ve had many pets since I was young, rabbits, dogs, small rodents and hermit crabs. All have been taken care of in a loving home! I have worked on a lot of training with my chiweenie Paige, who is now almost 10. I have pet sit for friends and family many times and love to meet new animals. I am currently a student at Ramapo College so once a schedule is worked out with clients I can be dependable with timing and consistent Though I may not always be able to board dogs depending on the time of year I can learn your routine with your pets and adapt as needed in your household

Judith went above and beyond taking care of Poochie. She gave her medications and got her up and walking. It was very comforting to know she was in good hands.

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.

We recently had Joe take care of our cat, Toby, for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was excellent. Joe sent regular updates, photos, and videos so we could see how Toby was doing each day. Toby can be a little shy around new people, but he warmed up to Joe quickly, which says a lot. It was clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. The house was spotless when we returned, and everything was just as we left it. We really appreciated the attention to detail, the affection shown to Toby, and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Joe again for our next trip — highly recommend!

Danielle did a terrific job with our dogs, Rico and Barkley. We are new to the area, so the dogs are still getting use to their surroundings. Danielle knew exactly how to handle them. She provided us with pictures and updates with how they were doing. So THANKFUL for Danielle. Already booking another date with her.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

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!

About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and been around dogs my whole life, I love dogs always have always will. I cannot imagine living life without my dog Kobe who is a mix of bichon/yorkie and he is funny, friendly, and playful and my cat Hazel, she is a senior and is more reserved and always hanging out in my son's room . I am a stay at home mom of one toddler (who is really gentle with dogs), and twins♥️ my schedule is very flexible since I am free all day but must be planned before hand to provide the best pet care possible. I currently live in a condo/townhouse complex in Ramsey (TimberValley), spacious with one dog to play with, it is always clean, we have nice green areas to go for walks, parks within minutes drive and stay active. I do not have a yard unfortunately.

About: I am an experienced dog owner of over 20 years (cats over 10 years). No issue with breed size as I have owned dogs ranging from Bichon size to Rottweilers! Your pets will feel loved and comfortable here in our home. I work from home full time so will have more than enough time to give your pet all of the attention they crave! Walks, play, and feeding times can all be scheduled to your pet's needs. My yard is fully fenced and large enough for fun playtime. My home is large and has wide space for indoor play. Your pet will have my full attention all day as I work from home!
