4. BriChe & Avonia L.
“Bri’Che is a pretty great house sitter! From the meet and greet, I could tell that she’s very detailed and wants to make sure that she follows any specific medical/safety needs and care instructions carefully. She asked about any preexisting routines for my dog which is so super important to help keep her on track. She will cater to your dogs’ needs as she has mine!”

6. Keith L.
About: I’ve been blessed to walk, sit & board my friends/Neighbors/family dogs since I was about 11, I fell in love immediately! I’m not a vet or anything but me being very sympathetic for animals has always earned me a new little furry bestfriend. Even strangers dogs love to interact with me, I’m like part of the pack! I am currently working Full time as a dog walker/Sitter!! Weekends I am free but I am a youth football coach so if you have pups who love kids & running around I’d love for them to tag along! I am also a pro gamer so 1 day in a week/weekend I travel out of NJ & come back next morning. I have a well sized gated backyard & my neighbor has a pack of dogs that can keep your pups company besides me, no grass unfortunately but I live by parks & have grass on the block. Inside I have 4 spacious rooms they can wander around, hardwood floors so very easy to clean up after.

16. Caitlin B.
“Caitlin was so wonderful to work with. Despite having things going on in her own life she made sure to show up in a big way for both of my dogs. This was the very first time I was using a service like this and was definitely more nervous than I had to be and Caitlin was very understanding and made sure to over-communicate to help put my mind at ease. Both of my dogs are high energy and also special needs and I would trust Caitlin with them again and again - they loved her.”
