“Marlee watched our two cats with so much care! She left very thorough reports each day and was very communicative/responsive about anything that came up. She even came through in crisis - she arrived one day when there was smoke in the house/the smoke alarm was going off. We called the fire department and she stayed the entire time to make sure everything was ok. We are so grateful for her dedicated care!! 10/10 recommend.”

“Eleni is an amazing, reliable and caring person who truly love animals. Tucker gets very excited when he sees her and she takes time to ensure he is happy and comfortable ❤️. I highly recommend Eleni!”

“Elaine did a great job with my dog . He was safe & comfortable. Put me at ease with communication and the notes & photos that she sent every visit. Thank you so much for taking care of my furbaby while I was away. Will book again if needed for future care.”

“Claire was a great help in caring for my two cats during a time when I needed it. She was reliable and stayed in close contact with me, being sure to reach out if she had any questions. She did a nice job of attending to the needs of my kitties. I appreciated the help and will call on her again.”


“Barbara did a great job looking after our cat while we were away, certainly gave us peace of mind even though he kept eluding her! She even came out during a snow storm!”

“Lisa was great! I was so apprehensive about leaving my little dog but she put me at ease? it was nice to receive lots of pictures and I know Derby was well taken care of. I highly recommend Lisa!”

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.
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.
“Jessica took care of my cats for two days. She's warm, friendly and communicative. My cats seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return. I'll be hiring Jessica again.”

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.
“Ashley communicated clearly and kept me updated on how our pups were doing. One of our dogs needs a little extra care, so the details and photos really help ease my anxiety. I already have her booked for another visit!”

“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.”

“Alissa was great with Ellie! She sent several pictures during her check-ins and reported back on what Ellie did during her check-in. Would definitely recommend to others.”

“Excellent cat sitter! Communicative, sent daily photo updates, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat was happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend and I will be booking Sara’s services again!”

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.
“Xiomara took good care of my cats! Very responsive and great communication always. Love all the pictures included in the visit card every time. Seems my cats also have great time with her. Would definitely have her again in the future.”

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.
