“KIrsten did a great job keeping my dog. i had a meet and greet before trip so I knew my dog would be in great hands. She was quick at responding and sent me pictures and updates. Kirsten was helpful when my plans changed and i needed to update dates. Will definitely rebook.”
“Ivy, our 10 month old Great Dane, loved her weekend stay while we had our wedding. She was so exhausted when she got home from her weekend with Cristi! We appreciate you handling our overgrown puppy and for sending me updates during the weekend on how she was doing.”
“Gave our pup amazing care and love! Provided updates on how he was doing. Very responsive, esp since I was looking for someone with less than 24 hour notice. Highly recommend Sierra!!”
“Deanna was excellent with Kobe. Kobe had been diagnosed with IVDD a day before he was scheduled to stay with Deanna. Deanna helped him in every way possible and then some, administered his meds and kept me up to date with everything. Highly recommended!”
“Scott and Katrina were wonderful! They communicated with us throughout Kona’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kona loved playing with their dogs and having their beautiful backyard to run around in. Scott and Katrina were both so sweet with her, and it was obvious that Kona felt happy and comfortable with them. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Amy was able to sit for my dog Ivy for four days on very short notice. She was very accommodating and really want the extra mile to work with me on schedule. She has a lovely home with a nice fenced backyard for your pup. Her fur baby Roxy is such a sweetheart and immediately was friendly with my 100 pound dog. Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“The dogs seemed to have a great time, they were exhausted when they got home from all the running around and playing they did. We will definitely use them for future stays.”
“I cannot express how amazing Emily and her family have been. I’ve had her watch my pup multiple times and each time he comes back happy and tired from all of the running and playing!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”
“Tamisha did a great job taking care of my pups! One of mine is very tall and strong, yet she wasn't intimidated and still included him on all her walks. She did a great job keeping me updated on how they were doing.”
“Deanna provided such a great experience for my fur baby. She was very attentive to her and made her feel right at home. Deanna kept me informed of her progress and provided me with pictures and videos throughout her stay. Deanna’s dogs are very social and well behaved and welcomed my dog into their little pack. I could tell my Sofee had the time of her life. I would definitely rebook with Deanna.”
“Denise and Don were our pups home away from home. They are awesome dog people and we loved getting daily photos and updates on our fur babies. Their fenced yard put us at ease especially for our senior dog with dementia. They treated our pups like their own and would highly recommend! Accommodating, responsive, kind, and happy people. Heck, we could see ourselves hanging out with them.”
“Oh my gosh. Alyssa took such good care of my Oakley boy. I usually am worried sick when I travel but I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I already booked another stay!”
“Victoria was awesome! Super professional upon meeting and was absolutely in love with our Dino. She sent lots of pics, gave our guy frequent walks and was extremely easy to communicate and work with. Bottom line, I'd recommend her to anyone!”
“Winnie had a blast during her stay. She was spoiled with lots of attention and playtime. I received daily pictures and videos of her interactions with their dogs and it was great to see Winnie sitting right in and having a great time. With her being so young and her first time being away from me it was such a relief to have her taken care of so well. I know she’s excited for her next visit. Thank you!!!!!!”

Jill and her family are amazing. I was nervous about leaving my fur babies with someone they didn’t know. But Jill and her family took care of them as their own. Tonight I booked them again and my dogs went right in and seemed to be at home. I highly recommend her for your fur baby

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newark home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.

- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Newark.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
