Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Connor was wonderful with Mickey. Easy going with pickup and drop-off. His cousin Patrick who lives with him was very friendly as well. It was nice to know there was always someone in the house with our beloved pup. We had a situation come up with Mickey that was out of our control and Connor handled the situation so well. He completely put us at ease and went out of his way to make sure things were totally under control. It was such a relief when we were away. 10/10 would recommend for your pet and would trust him again with my own anytime.  Thanks so much Connor.

If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍

Vanessa was fantastic as a boarder. My dog Gigi suffers from separation anxiety and she took special care of her needs. Gigi came home happy and tail wagging. Her place is very clean organized with a beautiful yard. Will surely use her again soon.

Tiara was awesome and truly went above and beyond in caring for my cat. This was my first experience boarding and needless to say my cat and I were both a bit nervous about how it'd all go. For a cat that hasn't been away from me much in her 10 years that she had a blast and started to warm up to Tiara's cats (a little bit) is a testament to her care, attention and welcoming environment. She provided me with updates while I was away on my work trip and even gave me some cat dad advice with helpful tips on keeping my cat active and healthy. Highly recommend and will definitely be looking to book again for my next work trip

Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ,she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.

I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)

This is our first time using Rover and was very pleased with the process. We were reluctant at first, but after meeting Monica placed us at ease. I would definitely recommend Monica to our friends and family. Monica was very thoughtful with sending photos almost every day of our Bingo having a great time with her and family. Bingo felt at home with them. Thank you again, for taking such great care of our Bingo.

Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.

Happy and relieved to have found our new go-to dog-sitter!! Ashley was so kind and loving toward our girl, Piper. She brought her into her home as if she was one of her own. She is very conscientious and has lots of little things in place to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe. I really appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent so we could see that our girl was happy and loving life at Ashley’s house. We will definitely be using her for boarding going forward!

Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!
