“Jenette was such a great cat & house sitter! She took care of our 2 cats in our home for a week and everything went so smoothly. Our cats were so happy when we returned. Such a relief to know that they were content & well taken care of while we were away for an extended period of time, especially since they are not always in good spirits after a trip! The house was spotless and she even watered our vegetable garden! 10/10 we will definitely be booking with Jenette again- thank you!!!”

“Elissa was awesome. Everything you want for your pet, Elissa gave. She was loving and caring for our dog, Gus. She was so attentive and took care of the house too. She shared photos and video and asked questions. We were so at ease with her taking care of him that we stopped checking in even. He is a German Pointer and so he loves snuggling as much as exercise and we got it all and could not be more grateful to Elissa.”


“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”

“Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!”

About: Im the go to pet-sitter when my friends or family goes on vacation. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little .

About: I spent the past 4 years running a successful dog-watching business in NYC with my partner. We have since relocated to Northern NJ and intend to provide the same high quality services for pets here. I grew up with animals - dogs, rabbits, birds, mice, turtles and fish. I would’ve had cats too if members of my family weren’t so allergic. As a teen I volunteered with friends at our local animal shelter and chose to work with the cat population because most of the volunteers wanted to walk the dogs. Most recently I trained my own dog - starting from when she was 6 weeks old. I used a combination of training techniques (including crate training) to successfully potty-train her, teach her to walk on a leash and eventually teach her to hike and run together off-leash. My dog is now 3 years old and I bring her to my grandmother’s assisted living facility. She interacts with and plays appropriately with other dogs, pets, adults and children of all ages. She is a secure dog and adaptable to any environment. I believe my dog’s calm and friendly demeanor is a direct reflection of my skills. I’m prepared to handle dogs across the spectrum of sizes and energy levels. I live close to many beautiful parks and trails, some with dedicated areas for dog-play. I will closely follow any instructions you have for feeding, exercising, sleeping and socializing your precious pet. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule so I am able to dedicate the appropriate time and attention to your pet easily. I will treat your pet like part of my family if they stay with me. I have a very calming presence that animals seem to react really well too. I am happy to watch your pet at your place if that works best. I provide an engaging, safe environment no matter the location.
“Cassie watched our dog and two cats while we were out of town for a week. She kept us updated throughout the trip, left the house spotless and truly went above and beyond to do an amazing job. Can’t recommend her enough.”

“From start to finish, Gordon did an excellent job. He was right on time, took excellent care of my dog Pepe, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures that truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Pepe was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Gordon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, evening house sitting, and walks. I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I have a fairly flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends for House sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking! Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.

“Tiara is amazing! Tyler absolutely adores her. She’s completely attentive and really understands what puppies need (I’m learning so much from her). I feel so comfortable leaving Tyler in her capable and careful hands. Excellent communication. Couldn’t be recommend her enough. She’ll be helping us out regularly over the next few months. Thank you Tiara!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have watched neighborhood dogs for anything from a dog walk to a couple weeks overnight since I was in high school (I just graduated college!) I have always had a knack for training pups using positive reinforcement and have been coined a bit of a “dog whisperer” by friends, family, and clients back home. I am a major dog person and have been my whole life. I just moved back home to Jersey from Austin where I fostered dogs in addition to my own. I would love to meet your furry friends! I am currently a student at the university of Texas at Austin. The maximum hours of class I have a day are two hours and only on busy days. I am home most of the day at my apartment and have time and love to offer a dog! I don’t have any dogs in my apartment here. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, my building is dog friendly and close to parks/good walking routes!!
“Jennifer did a terrific job of taking care of my two dogs while I was gone for the week. She stayed at my house and sent me plenty of photos of the dogs so my kids wouldn’t miss them. I highly recommend her services to others, and I look forward to using her services again in the near future.”

“Temi was quickly responsive and was able to help watch my dogs when my last minute trip came up. Thank you so much! He does an amazing job caring for my babies and sending me updates about them. You will not regret booking him to watch your fur babies!”

I had a great experience with Elissa! She took excellent care of my dog Jake and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Jake looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

I'm a bit of a hoverparent, so I was really happy with how communicative Jade was the entire time we were away. We got lots of updates on what our little weirdo was doing and how he was responding, complete with pics and videos. He seemed to have had a great time with Jade and we returned home to a totally chill and unbothered doggo.

I wish I could give 100 stars! Kevin is just amazing, he communicates any needs and is so great with all our asks of him. We get plenty of photos where our dogs just look so happy to have him. He walks them daily (we didn’t even ask for that) and sends photos of the cuddles and love they get while we are gone. Our house is always so clean, and he runs the laundry so we don’t have to. He’s literally perfect. Our vacations are just that, vacations, knowing he was here let us enjoy everyday. Thank you so much Kevin!!!

Siara is wonderful! She took excellent care of our 13 year old dog, including giving her daily medications, lots of belly rubs and gentle walks. Siara also took excellent photos and videos of our dog, which was so appreciated during our 5 days away. Siara’s communication was excellent too! And she left our house spotless: We will definitely book her again. We recommend Siara to anyone who needs a responsible dogsitter.

Katie & Zayn were an absolute life saver when we found ourselves a few days away from a trip with no pet sitter. As soon as we met them, we felt comfortable leaving our home and our furry crew in their capable hands. Our dog in particular loved them immediately. They were prompt, professional, had excellent communication and provided many pictures during their stay. Our pets were well taken care of and it was easy to see that while we were away. Katie and Zayn - thank you for taking such great care of our pets!! ❤️

Trisha was terrific! She was very friendly and great with updates and photos. She took very good care of our 12 year old dog. She was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful with household tasks like watering plants, collecting mail and recycling while we were away. Our dog was very relaxed and comfortable with her. Highly recommend! Added bonus she gives great pet massages!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with our French Bulldog — so loving, attentive, and affectionate. Our dog felt safe, happy, and comfortable the entire time we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pup were in such good hands. She even came by ahead of time to meet her, and they bonded instantly! Pretty sure our dog already misses her now that we’re back from vacation. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking her again!

First time we use Jenette and couldn’t be happier. We returned from our trip of 5 days to find our cat Huckleberry healthy and happy. In fact, it seems she was an expert playmate because he has been super playful since we’ve been back, leading us to his toys etc. We highly recommend Jenette as pet sitter.

Thank you so much Jon for taking such good care of Sasha. Your periodic updates were extremely helpful and comforting while we were away. We appreciate your flexibility in accommodating special care for our senior child. Your attention to detail during the planning session (the day before scheduled caretaking) was impeccable. You gave us more than needed reasons in hiring you for future care for Sasha.

Regan took great care of our dogs while we were out of town for the holiday weekend! ❤️ She kept us informed and sent us pictures to show us how our dogs were doing. She even sent us pictures of our hamster. 😊We will definitely have her sit for us again if she is available! 😃
