Lifu took such good care of Tater, ensuring he was well taken care of and comfortable. I will absolutely be having her walk and stay with him again. Very grateful for her competence and kindness.

About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.

Joni took fantastic care of my shy foster Millie and has been incredibly accommodating with my last minute request. Even managed to plan for a meet and greet which absolutely helped Millie feel comfortable the next day for the actual sit. Joni sent many pictures and updats and my mind was completely at peace knowing Millie was in her gentle care. Joni also was very thorough with Millie’s schedule and routine, perfectly punctual, and very respectful of the house, leaving no trace behind! Thank you Joni!

They were great!! It was my first time using a sitter and I have an anxious dog that takes medication. They were so patient with him and updated us every step of the way! I feel so much more comfortable knowing I have people who can watch my boy when we are away 🤍

It’s always a little stressful when a trusted petsitter moves away and I need to find a new one. Marlita was great from the start, very professional and responsive to messages. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. We just got back from a weekend trip and the whole crew here is happy and healthy. I’m so glad we found Marlita, and grateful I have someone I can trust whenever we go away.

Molly and her husband were great, they took care of our two dogs while we were away for a few days and made sure they were pampered and stayed healthy. They also left our place clean and went the extra mile to get our puppy some extra food when he ran out of it. Highly recommend!

About: Hi there! I'm Stephanie, and I am excited to explore this platform! I started overnight pet sitting in April, and most of my experience is with cats. Before this April, my experience entailed drop-ins for cats to feed and play with them, and change their litter. I have cared for senior cats and senior dogs, and am comfortable with administering medication. I am from New Jersey and recently (June 2026) moved back to the area after spending 11 and a half years in Madrid. I am in the NYC/North Jersey area staying with family, and pet sitting. I am looking for sits -- especially longer-term -- in NYC, Jersey City, Hoboken, and nearby as I settle into this new chapter ❤️ I work Monday-Friday in Jersey City from 3-7pm, but I am otherwise flexible with my schedule! I am open to sits ranging from one night to several weeks long. I look forward to helping you! I'll treat your fur babies with love and care, and your home as I would my own. I enjoy helping others and making their lives easier in some way. I aim to give people peace of mind by caring for their pets and home, so they can fully enjoy their travels or focus on what they need to do while away. I follow pet parents' guidelines to the letter to ensure that their little ones are treated the way they deserve to be, and are used to! I can also be counted on to leave your home as I found it. For cat sits, I can care for up to three cats per stay, and for dog sits, I can care for up to one per stay. I can also do sits with one dog and one cat together. And, I'm a plant lover and am happy to look after any plants :)

Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: I've had 5 years of dog caring and have raised 3 puppies. I have successfully taken care of multiple breeds of dogs of different sizes. Moreover, I know how to interact with multiple animals, cats, and dogs. I like to pay attention to their needs and play around. The sole joy of being in the company of a pet is my reward! I paid attention to my pets needs and other dogs needs. I have taken care of friends pets as well as puppies. and find that it is important to showcase love and affection for every pet. In terms of potty training, I'm quite capable of perceiving when they want to go. Will adhere to dogs dietary needs as well as engage their attention.

I could not have been happier with Joni's house sitting and care of my cats. She is extremely kind, patient, calm and warm, and my two cats responded well to her immediately. One of my cats takes medications twice a day and getting him to take his pills is quite challenging. Joni was successful in giving him all is medications ever day. Joni communicated with me daily and sent wonderful pictures. My apartment and cats all looked fantastic when I returned! I give Joni my highest recommendation, and I greatly appreciate her excellent work.

Truly the best sitter! Sent us updates and many pictures of our pup throughout our trip which we loved. She also took him to the dog park on our property twice a day so he had the time of his life. Could not have asked for a better person to take care of our little guy. She’s also incredibly sweet and respectful. Can’t recommend her enough!

Jin is truly one in a million. We have two older dogs, and one of them unexpectedly became the most ill she has ever been while Jin was dogsitting them. Jin took her to the emergency vet and was up at night taking care of her, going above and beyond what I ever could have asked for. When my other dog contracted the bug from our first dog, Jin was quick to attend to her too. She was communicative, compassionate, and so incredibly attentive. She truly cared for them like they were her own! I really can’t say enough about how wonderful Jin is, how grateful I am that she was there for our pups, and would recommend her to anyone who wants the best possible care for their pets and peace of mind.

Deb was great with Pebbles (formerly Mogwai). Pebbles is our new 10 month old puppy. We adopted her about 1 1/2 weeks before we had to go away for the weekend so we were very concerned about Pebbles adjusting. Everything went fine. Deb understood what Pebbles needed and kept us informed during the weekend. It made for a smooth weekend. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone!
