Care for them like they were my own

Pet care experience

I have been professionally pet sitting for over 12 years and I have had pets my entire life, cats and dogs included. I am comfortable with all shapes, sizes and breeds. I owned a pet sitting business in New Jersey for 10 years and had loyal clients for many years who have given me great reviews and trust me completely with their fur babies. I do dog walking and pet sitting in your home. I am the proud fur mom of a senior pug and a special needs cat, both of whom I adore. I have taken CPR and first aid for pets training. I will treat your pets like my own and give you a worry free experience. I am available mornings, evenings and late night. Possibly during lunchtime. Weekends any time. Holidays are ok too! I will always ensure your pets safety and care for them like my own. I will not let your pet out without a leash or a fenced in yard. I will not hesitate to get vet care for your pet if needed.

Brenda was our dog sitter for over 10 years until we recently moved away and we miss her terribly. She is reliable, flexible and most important took great care of our dog through the years. Rosie never missed us when we were gone because she had Brenda to play with her, walk her or just sit and keep her company. We are still looking for someone like Brenda in our new neighborhood but I fear she cannot be replaced.

We have been very fortunate that Brenda has been pet sitting our 3 cats for almost 6 years. (We now only have 1 cat.) Brenda was very attentive to their needs & knew each one’s personality. Two of our cats were on several medications & at times it could be challenging to get them to take the medications & get them to eat. Brenda got them to take their medications & often, most if not all of their food. Both had litter box issues due their medical conditions & Brenda dealt well with whatever needed to be done both in & out of the litter box. Our female cat was quite fearful of strangers & it amazed us that it took only a couple of visits before she came out for Brenda, accepted pets & ate her food well. It warmed our hearts that our girl had come to trust & love Brenda & we referred to Brenda as “The Cat Whisperer”. Along with caring well for our cat, Brenda will water our plants, take out the garbage, bring in the mail & in the winter when it’s up, fill our outside window bird feeder. We can confidently travel knowing that Brenda is caring for our cat & taking care of whatever needs to be done. Brenda communicates with us well & we appreciate her notes, whether emailed or written, that inform us how the cat was during her visits & if there were any issues. We have no doubt Brenda is also an excellent, caring dog sitter.
