Eleni is very caring and attentive to my dog's needs. It is reassuring to know she pays attention to the details. Eleni makes sure my dog is fed and goes on a nice long walk. Afterwards she spends time in the house with her turning on calming music before she leaves. She definitely has my dog's best interests at heart. Eleni is reliable and a great asset to have. We'll be using her again for sure.

10 out of 10 recommend Marlee! She took such good care of our Tofu Baby while we were away. She communicated with us daily; always sending us a recap of the visit with a pictures. It made us feel so at ease knowing someone who was so loving and compassionate was looking after our girl! We will be using her for future visits and will be recommending her to all our Cat friends! Thank you again Marlee! We appreciate you so much!

About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.

About: I grew up in a household that always had multiple dogs at the same time and was actively involved in their care. Feeding, bathing, walking and giving them the daily love and attention they needed. I have the ability to adjust my availability as needed. My daily and weekly routine is built around providing consistent and attentive pet care for your loved one. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have been relied upon by friends, family, and neighbors for pet care for the past 25 years. While I may not have formal "clinic" experience, my practical, hands-on experience has taught me patience, reliability, and how to anticipate a pet's needs and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with various breeds and temperaments and committed to upholding the highest standard of care.

About: Hi my name is Coral! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds!! My first dog was a Yorkie named Lilly and I adopted a Doberman named Amber. I’m currently a proud grandma to my son’s Long Haired Dachshund Ralphie. I’m available for dog walks and overnight stays in the owners home. I work in Livingston and would be able to stay in your home and walk your pup before work, on my lunch break and after work. I can be available for dog walks after 6 pm in Livingston. If you live in my local area I can do a walk in the morning 7am and 7pm or later. I can also stay in your home walking them before I leave for work and when I return. I will treat your pet as if they were my own giving them my full attention and be sure to follow any instructions left by the owner.

About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.

Alexandra has been wonderful with my dogs! She takes the time to make sure they are happy, gets plenty of exercise, fed on time, and was also kind enough to come meet the dogs before hand! She’s always on time, super reliable, and communicates really well with updates and photos after every walk/visit. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs were in caring and trustworthy hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker who treats your dog like their own.

Matthew has been a fabulous friend to my Lara, who has been going through the heartbreak of losing a canine companion and needs extra TLC (along with the occasional pee break). He has been reliable and wonderful to have as a part of her emotional support team (and will soon be the same for a new puppy!)

Haley is so responsible, communicative, and caring when taking care of our elder cat, Soosie! We feel so at ease being away when we know Haley will be her sitter. Soosie hasn’t been around a lot of non-relatives in her life, but she seems to really love her time with Haley.
