“Jennie took excellent care of our 15 year old, diabetic cat, Hunter. Hunter needs twice daily insulin injections and oral meds with his meals. Jennie adhered to his required food & medication schedule and kept us updated with photos and texts. Jennie is very friendly, communicative, professional & prompt. It is very comforting to know that our sweet boy is so well cared for when we are away. Thank you Jennie!”


“Highly recommend Bailee! She was attentive with our puppy during his hour check-in and sent us a bunch of pics. Echo loved his time with Bailee and looks forward to seeing her again!”


About: I am an animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own. I offer dog walking and drop-in care, and I promise to respect you, your home, and your animals, and take care of them as if they were my own. Although I cannot take outside animals into my home for the safety of my pets, I am open to visiting your home as it suits your needs. Most of my experience comes from having pets my entire life and volunteering in local shelters where I walked, fed, and bathed both dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of animals big and small, and I would love to meet your furry friend! My schedule is very flexible because I currently work on weekend afternoons, so I have ample availability on weekdays and weekend mornings. Whatever fits your schedule works for me! My primary goal is to offer comfort and safety to your pet. I am available to drop in during the typical workday so your furry friend doesn't feel alone.

“Anya is a cat whisperer! Our boy is very shy around strangers and he went right up to her like he’s known her for years. She was attentive and provided such great pics and notes. We will without a doubt be using her again, and you should, too!”



“Barbara is great with our boys Mickey and Joey. She always plays with them and gives them loving attention. One of our cats requires medication and Barbara reports on on his health and medication intake-Joey hides at pill time but barbara persists with our reluctant boy. Barbara is reliable and we all enjoy her visits!”


“As usual Bianca took excellent care of my cat, Bubo. Not having to worry about my cat when I'm away is such a relief. Thanks to Bianca, I never have to worry. She's dependable, trustworthy and always communicative. Thanks again, Bianca!”


“Frances is an awesome sitter, highly recommended! She took grate care of my cat Emma during my three-week travel abroad and followed all my instructions precisely, plus did some extra favors such as watering my plants and checking my mailbox. Will gladly use her help again if she is available.”


“I am so happy with Veronica’s drop-in service! She’s so communicative and went above and beyond for my kitty and she really cared about our home. I 100% recommend and will be hiring her again when the need arises.”


“I am a first time user of Rover and was very nervous about leaving my dogs in the hands of someone else. When I picked Stephanie I could just tell she would be a great fit with my two pups. And I was right! I have special needs for my dogs and was worried it would be too much but Stephanie didn’t mind and even worked with one of my dogs on leash training! She was super patient in meeting them and letting them get to know her and offered up some advice on food options to keep them healthy and active. I will definitely be using Stephanie again!”


“Eric and Kathleen were exactly what we needed. From the very beginning when Eric came out to visit before we left to meet our cats and understand their needs to his daily communication about how our cats were doing and the love and attention that the two of them were providing. I have no hesitation and giving the two of them are highest possible recommendation.”


“Shirley was careful, diligent and kind she took this care taking responsibility seriously and was very good with our cat. She gave us good status updates on how her behavior and mood was her poo status and how much or how little she was eating. Thanks Shirley.”


About: I’ve been crazy about pets my whole life—raised with two dogs who taught me love and duty, now sharing my days with a feisty cat and keeping up with my family’s three silly pups. I’m here to pamper your furry friends: epic walks in the reserve park, tons of playtime, big cuddles, or just kicking back together. Cats? I’m their brushing and snuggle champ. Baths or meds? Show me how, and I’m all over it. I get a kick out of every pet’s little quirks! Note: my cat’s a lone wolf, so I can’t host at home. Drop me a line to chat about your pet—I’m pumped to give them the fun and care they’ll totally adore! With a super flexible schedule, I’m here to care for your pet like it’s my own! Available all day Mondays and Fridays, and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays after 3 PM, I handle feeding, grooming, and awesome long walks in the reserve park. Need something extra, like giving medication or providing more attention during stressful times? I’ve got it covered. Weekends available upon request. I live for animals and their happiness, with a sharp eye for what they’re feeling. I pick up on stress signals and tweak my care to fit them perfectly, creating a peaceful vibe where they can just be themselves. Whether it’s a burst of play to lift their spirits or a quiet moment to ease their mind, I tune into their world and make it better.

“Had an amazing experience with Kim!! She went the extra mile for me multiple times and I greatly appreciate it. Shy little Luffy warming up to her was really reassuring. Overall, had an amazing experience :)”


About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply offering a comforting presence, pets have always been an important part of my life and I treat each one like family. I currently share my home with Zoey, a sweet and incredibly resilient 6 year old spaniel mix. I adopted her when she was 4 years old, knowing she was heartworm positive. We brought her through the entire treatment process, which included strict activity restrictions, medication schedules, and regular vet visits. About a year later, Zoey was diagnosed with cancer and underwent six months of chemotherapy, specialized medications, and frequent doctor’s visits. I’m happy to share that she is now fully recovered and thriving! It’s safe to say that I have extensive hands on experience with dogs who have special medical needs. From managing medication routines to monitoring behavior and providing extra emotional support. I know how to stay calm under pressure and follow detailed care instructions to ensure pets are comfortable and safe. In addition to caring for Zoey, I’ve regularly looked after the pets of friends and family everything from tiny lap dogs to large, active breeds. I’m confident working with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a walk, medication, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I understand that every household and every pet has its own unique routine, preferences and rhythm. Whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, a favorite walking route, or a quirky bedtime ritual, I take the time to learn and respect the details that make your pet feel safe and at home. No request is too small or too specific. My goal is to provide seamless, stress free care that mirrors your pet’s everyday life as closely as possible. I want both you and your pet to feel at ease while you’re apart, knowing everything is being handled with attention, patience and love.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have been walking dogs for 3 years. I have always had great experiences when caring for other families pets! I currently work part time 8am-12pm. Anytime after that I am free Monday-Thursday. I prefer staying in near by towns such as Maywood, Paramus, and Hackensack but am flexible. I am very cautious when entering homes and making sure doors are closed and locked when I leave. Your pet is in great hands with me!

“Jullien was great with my cat Max. He sent daily updates with photos and was quick with responses. Max was very comfortable with him and I will definitely book with Jullien again.”


“I had the pleasure of hiring Andria to check in on my family’s dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! She was incredibly sweet and was available at the last minute when I needed her, which was a lifesaver!!! I can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I will be hiring her again in the future <3!”



About: I’ve lived with dogs since I was born and have always had a deep love for animals. I’ve dog sat and walked since I was 14, and helped out at a shelter in Turks and Caicos on vacation As a student at scad without my dog, I miss taking them for walks and playing fetch. I try to spend as much time as possible playing with the dogs in the parks, as well as taking care of my friends cats when I can I make sure that nothing on the counters/ tables is accessible to the dog, and always make sure the water bowl is full, and I try to give them as much love and attention as they need
