“Eleanor was wonderful with my 3 dogs. She sent lots of pictures. The girls were happy and well taken care of. They got plenty of outdoor time and playtime with Eleanor. Would highly recommend Eleanor”

“Hadija was very kind and patient with my pets who are very accustomed to “mommy” and on a pretty strict schedule. I appreciated the photos and regular updates as well. Thank you!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, including overnight stays and extended care during travel. This experience has taught me how to recognize pets’ needs, respect their routines, and respond calmly and responsibly in different situations. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and close attention to detail. I current work from home and my wife also stay home. I have flexible availability that allows me to dedicate meaningful, quality time to the pets in my care. I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your pet needs companionship during the workday, consistent routines, or extra attention, I make sure they are never rushed and always feel prioritized. I value reliability and clear communication, so you can feel confident your pet is in good I have fence back yard and dog can run freely in the backyard . And we also allow pets to sleeping on sofa and beds.

About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.
“Kaitlyn is wonderful! 🥰 She’s provided excellent care and communication, sharing photos and updates regularly. I feel at ease with Kaitlyn caring for my animals and maintaining my home while I’m gone. She’s considerate, thoughtful, and on top of things. She asks great questions to ensure she’s providing the level of care that I’m looking for, and she thinks ahead. She lets me know if something weird happens (e.g., a cat eats the headphone cord 🤪) just in case something comes of it; I really appreciate her transparency and accountability. It was wonderful to come home to a clean home and healthy animals; the little thank you note she left was a lovely touch. I really value her as our go-to house sitter now!”

“María was absolutely fantastic. Our dog loved her from the very first minute. If you want a kind, reliable sitter for your dog who can keep her calm and safe, she is your person.”

“Courtney was amazing! She cared for my pups and home as if they were her own!! Communication was easy & clear. My boys LOVE her!! I was able to go away with peace of mind - that's priceless! HIGHLY recommend Courtney!”
“Laura was wonderful! She's extremely experienced, capable, competent, and knowledgable. My little guy (Julius, a cat) usually has bad separation anxiety, but he did wonderfully with Laura when she stayed in my apartment with him for two weeks. I highly recommend Laura as a sitter for any animal!”

About: I grew up around farm animals. My cousins and close friends always had pets, which I treated as if they were my own. I was finally able to adopt once I started college, the best decision I have ever made. I am working full-time and attending grad school. I go to school every 3 weeks on the weekends, and I have an in-person class then. I can be very flexible when caring on the weekends, except on days I have class. I can also do my best to arrange stop-in times on weekdays after work. I respect boundaries and will follow instructions as needed! I will do my best to keep our pets safe. Because I offer in-home care, pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine.
About: Hi! I’m Kelsey Espada from North Brunswick, NJ. I’m 27 and work full-time as a Project Manager in a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to care for pets. I’ve grown up with animals — I currently have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and even chinchillas! I’ve cared for small, medium, and large dogs, and have trained my own pets, so I’m patient, calm, and attentive. I prefer visiting pets in their own homes, and I’m very flexible with schedules. I love giving pets attention, exercise, and gentle guidance — dogs listen to me well, and I enjoy building a trusting bond with each animal. I would be thrilled to care for your furry (or feathered!) friends! I do work full-time but happy to help early mornings before 9am or after working hours usually after 5pm. When I am working from home, I may have flexibility throughout the day. My weekends are usually most flexible! In my parents home, I’m used to taking the dog for a walk and feeding all of the animals. I’d be happy to walk your dog and play with them. I like to make sure animals are well cared for and happy.
“Many thanks to Toni for taking such excellent care of our pups! She was attentive to their needs and very careful with them, making sure to take into account their idiosyncracies! We felt very grateful that Toni spent the weekend with the "girls"! Thank you!”

“Ana had the challenge of being a companion and caregiver for Kiwi for 8 days, the first time I've been away overnight since she was adopted 2 years ago. Ana stayed over in my apartment the entire time. She followed my instructions exactly and kept me informed with messages and pictures during my vacation. I was confident in Ana's abilities when she came over for a meet and greet. Those feelings were confirmed during her stay with my cat. Kiwi's a tough customer for strangers but Ana was able to draw her out and make friends in just a couple of days. Book Ana if you want a worry-free vacation knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and entertained.”

“Awesome! Lily was great. When she met our dog and cat, they immediately took to her. We had her stay at our house for four nights, take care of our pets, and take in the mail. I recommend her very highly.”
“Yasmine was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend! My girls aren't too difficult but they are certainly particular and Yasmine killed it. She stayed at my place for a week and when I returned, it looked exactly as I had left it. I've finally come home from a trip and genuinely felt like my girls were taken care of.”

About: I’ve only ever known a household with pets! From cats and dogs, to hamsters and lizards. I truly love animals and have easily cared for family and friend’s beloved pets. Feedings, potty breaks, litter or crate cleans, I can do it all! I am currently a part time, online college student. So I can easily work pet care into my schedule with appropriate time given to prepare. In your home, I can always ensure that your pet’s environment is well kept and clean, including crates, food bowls, or litter boxes/outdoor spaces. I am able to brush your pet regularly and ensure their routine is kept for them.
About: I grew up taking care of my childhood dog, and then I extended that experience in the Rutgers University Companion Animal Club assisting in the public access training of future service dogs. I also spent a year as a kennel technician in Old Bridge, NJ taking care of puppies & preparing them for their forever homes. I am very flexible, I usually work in New Brunswick Monday-Friday from 9-4:30pm, but I can do my work from home if needed which helps a lot. I will discuss individual preferences with clients to meet their desires. I live very close to a big park and am able to take walks whenever.

Sarah is an incredible pet sitter!! She watched our dog and cat for 10 days over the holidays. She made sure our pup got lots of exercise and even took her on errands with her to avoid leaving her alone (she has separation anxiety). Sarah also won over our cat who typically isn’t very nice lol. Highly recommend booking Sarah to watch your pets!

Jonathan is the ideal pet and house sitter--responsible and responsive, excellent with communication, and easy to work with. Our pets were obviously well-loved, and we are very grateful for how easy he made it for us to return to "normal life" after being away. We very much appreciate it!
JLyne was amazing! She came to sit my elderly cat Papi while I was out of town for an important event. I was able to focus on my event because she was able to take care of him so well. She sent me updates and answered all of my questions. She sent pics as well. To top it all off, it was even her birthday and she still watched him. Thank you so much JLyne. I would definitely recommend her! 😻😻😻

Many thanks to Toni for taking such excellent care of our pups! She was attentive to their needs and very careful with them, making sure to take into account their idiosyncracies! We felt very grateful that Toni spent the weekend with the "girls"! Thank you!

I couldn’t recommend Frances enough. She is a great communicator. She made sure she understood all the needs of my dog before I left for my trip. She contacted me when she had a question about my dog’s behavior. All of these things helped me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing my dog was in super capable hands!

Sofia was incredible as a house sitter for my two dogs! From the moment we connected, we just clicked—she’s so sweet, genuine, and easy to talk to. She truly went above and beyond in every way. She listened carefully to all of my instructions and cared for my dogs as if they were her own. I came home to happy pups and a peaceful house, which says everything. It’s rare to find someone you trust so quickly, but Sofia made it effortless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier, loving care for their pets. And personally, I would work with her again and again—no question. Everything about her and the experience was perfect.🐾😊

Gary is amazing! Communicates everyday, sends pictures and details about how our dog Nicolau was doing. He was so caring with our dog that I am sure Nicolau will miss him so much. Gary gave medications to Nicolau as explained. The house was super clean and organized when we arrived back home. Thank you so much Gary. We will definitely rebook you many times.
