House Sitting in Newark

“Jessica was great with our girls, she did everything we asked and then some. We will definitely have her back in our home to take care of our fur babies. Can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us. Steve and Debbie H”

“Kathy is simply the best!!! I can tell from the photos she sent during our trip that our Critters absolutely adored her based on the smiles on their sweet faces and we agree that she is a rare gem! Not only did she take pawfect care of our Pack, our Nest was nicely cared for as well!! I especially appreciate that she is able to spend so much time with the Critters as Critter Sitting is her main gig! Highly recommend! We’ve already booked future dates and are all looking forward to seeing Kathy again! 🐾🐾💚”

“I'm truly thankful to have met and hired Yushonda. I have watched over 100 dogs, and I mean it when I say she is a step above everyone else. Mara is dog aggressive and dismissive of people and very slow to build trust. Yushonda would not settle for good enough or merely being present in the house. She strived and worked hard to build that trust, working with Mara, making her presence known, and building trust at Mara's pace. I was shocked to hear Mara got comfortable enough to jump right in bed on the first night. I had expected at the end of the stay for our dog to maybe allow pets, instead she made a great new friend by the first day and asked for belly rubs, something she only does for 3 people. Yushonda instilled trust not only in Mara but also us. Without her, we would have not been able to have gone on our trip and been able to see family, relax, and be at ease. Send Yushonda a message, you and your fur baby will not regret it or think about hiring someone else. I am so happy to know we have someone that will care about our baby as much as we do. I'm so thankful to finally have someone I can whole heartedly recommend, with full confidence, to watch my client's pets and know she will live up to that recommendation and always go above and beyond.”

“Victoria is great! My Maddie is always well cared for and happy when I’m gone. When I get home, it is like no one has ever been there! Everything is exactly as it was, which is very nice after you have been gone. I appreciate Victoria and trust her to take good care of my girl!”

Mary V.

“Thanks again Rylee for the peace of mind to know the pets were all cared for. House was the way we left it. We'll for sure ask you again and refer you too.”

“Ainsley did an awesome job with our 2 dogs! We will definitely be having her watch them again soon! She not only did a great job with the boys but the house was also spotless when we got home which is always the best! 12/10 recommend!”

Lexi G.

“Aja was great, our house was in amazing shape after her stay and Mulligan was noticeably relaxed when we returned from our trip, something he always struggled with in traditional boarding settings. I will continue to use Aja for our in house sitting needs!”

“5 Stars – Hands down the BEST dog sitter we've ever had! Carissa is an absolute gem! From our very first meet-and-greet, she was incredibly thorough—asking every important question and answering all of ours with patience and clarity. We instantly felt at ease leaving our 9-year-old Apollo in her care. She was always extremely responsive, easy to reach, and wonderfully accommodating to both Apollo's needs and ours (including bringing in mail and packages). Our home was left spotless and tidy. The daily updates were a highlight—multiple photos and messages each day showing Apollo happily running in the yard, playing indoors, getting tons of cuddles, and smiling with his chompers lol. Seeing how content and loved he was allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our family vacation without a single worry! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled and rescheduled (leaving us stuck in airports for an extra 30 hours), Carissa immediately and graciously agreed to stay an additional night. Knowing Apollo was in such capable, caring hands made a stressful travel day, much easier. Carissa's professionalism, genuine love for dogs, and thoughtful attention to detail made our trip better than we could have hoped. We've never felt more comfortable or at peace leaving our senior pup with anyone else. She is now our first and only choice for future sittings! Thank you, Carissa—you're phenomenal! ♥️”

About: No matter if your pet is big or small I will love them with all of my heart and spoil them. I believe pets need extra attention when their families are away so they don’t feel left behind. I work during the week but on the weekends I’d love to help you with your pet so you can take that weekend getaway you deserve! I’m a huge animal lover and this is honestly a great opportunity for me to get to love on as many animals as possible. I am very careful when opening outside doors to ensure everyone stays safe. I always triple check fences and keep an eye out for any potential risks.

“Excellent communication and came out for a visit before our trip so she could meet our dog and see our house set up. Sent a daily update. Would definitely use again!”

Angela C.

“Judy provided great communication the entire trip and ensured my dog got the correct medications. She left the house clean and it gave me peace of mind knowing Judy was at home with my dog.”

Molly R.

“Pups seemed to have loved Kiara! There didn't seem to be any messes on the floor while we were gone, which has not happened with previous sitters! Will definitely hire her again!”

TRISHA R.

“Mia was great! Having her stay with my cat allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry. She sent pics daily and assured me everything was ok. I definitely will use her again and recommend her to stay with your fur babies!”

Jill C.

“Mikayla was fantastic! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away last week. The girls absolutely loved her — they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of their routines perfectly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. They are one of the things in life that make me the happiest. There is nothing more important to me than providing your pet with the best experience possible. I have a contract based job where teach extra curricular activities after school and I also help run a nonprofit so my schedule is pretty open during the day for most of the year. Safety as my number one when it comes to pets. Additionally, when in someone else's home I understand that they and their pet have their own preferences and processes which I always respect.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for at least 20 years. I love each as if they were my own. I also love turtles, and frogs but don’t have much experience with them. ❤️🐸❤️ I can do dog walking, and any other daily drop ins you may need. My schedule is very open for any house/pet sitting you may need also. I’d like this to be what I do for a career. I am willing to stay with your pet in your home and to walk your dogs in their favorite places. I want them to feel at home and comfortable.

“Kristy took great care of Lucy, she sent pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. It was nice not to worry and be able to enjoy my time away. She respected all my rules and took really good care of my home.”

“Lauren was great. She kept us updated constantly while we're gone and made sure all our crazy animals were well taken care of.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals. I also grew up maintaining a 400-gallon fish tank that included a wide variety of fish and even small freshwater sharks, giving me a strong understanding of aquatic care. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have raised two very active 100+ lb German Shepherd/Lab mixes since they were puppies, so I am confident handling large, high-energy dogs. Despite my size, I am fully capable of managing and guiding strong animals safely and effectively. I am happy to assist with all aspects of pet care, including long walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions). Additionally, I have long-term experience(10+ years) caring for a Bengal cat with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), which has given me hands-on experience with specialized care and medication routines. I am currently a student at Central Michigan University and work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for both daytime visits and overnight stays in your home. I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!
