Lifu took care of our shy cat for two weeks while we were away, and she was amazing!🥹 This was our first time leaving our cat for so long, and we were very anxious, but Lifu made everything so easy. She visited our home daily, sent detailed updates and sweet photos, and followed all our instructions perfectly. Our cat is usually very nervous around new people, but Lifu was incredibly gentle and patient with her. She even left us a cute polaroid photo of our cat on the table-such a thoughtful gesture! We’re so grateful for Lifu’s care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter✨💛

Rebecca was amazing!!!!! She communicated with me very well and took great care of my babies. I usually have a very hard time trusting people watching my pets, but I would be definitely using her in the future.

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.

Neide took such great care of CJ. It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous but she cared for my cat as if it were her own. She sent daily pictures and even a video.

Deli was great, quite everything you could ask for. Incredibly communicative and went above and beyond in my home to make sure I came back from vacation with very little to do. My kitty, Willow, was well cared for and happy when I returned. Will deff book again in the future.

About: I’m a dedicated pet lover with three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important routine, patience, and attention are. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter and have experience with dogs of different temperaments, as well as caring for birds and sugar gliders. I provide reliable drop-in visits with a stable schedule, and I always prioritize clear, responsive communication. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and committed to making every visit safe, engaging, and stress-free for your pets. I offer fixed drop-in visits during specific hours. I’m available Monday through Thursday after 7pm, Friday after 6pm, and full availability on weekends. For consistency and timeliness, I prefer bookings within walking distance of the Harrison PATH station. I always aim to be punctual and keep a stable schedule for your pets’ routines. I specialize in drop-in visits only, as I have cats at home and want to ensure a safe, low-stress environment for all pets. I’m respectful of your home and will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, cleaning, and routines. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and attention to detail, and I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and timely communication so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Akum - a 28 year old attorney & a lifelong dog lover who makes furry friends wherever I go. I’ve cared for everything from leash-reactive rescues to cuddly seniors, and I treat every pup like my own. My own dog is a rescue with a tough past, so I’m especially good with temperamental or nervous dogs. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or a new adventure buddy, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved. 🐶💛 I work remotely Friday-Tuesday so I have plenty of time to be with your pets! I also am extremely flexible when it comes to sitting/walking. I have lived with all kinds of dogs growing up - so whatever your rules are for your pup, I will make sure to follow them, especially in your home. I want to make sure they are in a routine that they are happy and comfortable with.

She was wonderful with my knuckle head German Shepard. She walked, feed, and played with him even though he’s an excited nervous dog. She updated me on anything that happened while I was gone for my 5days and even with pictures! Marlita even went one step above and gave me tips and tricks to help with my dogs anxiety and I couldn’t have asked for more. Her jovial attitude has had a profound effect on me and my dog and I will definitely use her again.

About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

Jade was absolutely incredible. I have 4 crazy Aussies that are full of energy but also full of love. Jade paid close attention to all my directions and my dogs were so happy to have her come see them every day. She gave them lots of love and worked on tricks with them to keep them engaged. I would recommend Jade to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She was wonderful.

About: I grew up with dogs, they were a big part of my childhood. I've learned to love them as family, care for them and make them feel at home. For me, interacting with dogs is not only a job but necessary. I'm a very active person so I'm ready to play and run all day at the park, beach or any public spaces with your dog. I live in an apartment but I'm located nearby parks and dog friendly spaces in the Santa Monica area. I love the outdoors but don't mind staying indoors and cozy. I'm mostly available during weekdays during the day, but I'm flexible to accommodate depending in the need. I am auditioning most of the week, so my schedule is both flexible and depends on the time of my auditions. I usually go for walks with the dogs and play with them, and their preferred toys. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!

About: Hi! I’m Jessica , a little about me—Im a Biomolecular Engineer student at NYU 👩🏻‍🔬 and I absolutely love animals 🩷 I’m passionate about keeping things easy going and fun for you and your pets! A little thing I do differently is I carry around healthy treats to hand out ( if you say it’s okay of course ) and I don’t rush things. Animals are super sensitive to smells, noises, and emotions so the first time I’m meeting any animal I make sure to use unscented products, remain calm and of course always stay super friendly! 😋 I’d love to establish a friendship with your pet but I’m also available for the occasional walks 🐶🐱💕 My classes typically begin in the late afternoon for the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays, however on those days I end a bit earlier and would be able to pet sit overnight. As my semester ends however, I’ll be available for more day time walks and play dates 😁 I answer quickly, so any questions about scheduling can be squared away 🗓️ I treat every pet with the same level of care as if they were my own 😊 Safety is a top priority, whether we're out for a walk or enjoying time at the park. I ensure that all their toys are thoroughly cleaned, and unless specified otherwise, they always have access to water💧 While I love petting and playing with them, I'm attuned to each animal's social preferences, respecting their boundaries if they're not particularly social 💕 The well-being and comfort of the pets under my care are always the topmost priority of my approach!

Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats giving them treats, probiotics, and lots of love. Even our more shy cat warmed up to her quickly. Rebecca kindly vacuumed up the cat hair a few times also which we greatly appreciated. We look forward to booking with her again!

Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.

This is my second time booking with Alekhandra and she was phenomenal yet again. She looked after my four cats while my partner and I were gone for nearly three weeks. Usually my cats are very grumpy whenever we leave but my cats absolutely loved Alekhandra (& her daughter!) so they showed no signs of grumpiness lol. Alekhandra gave each cat plenty of play time and plenty of cuddles. Maybe my cats didn't even notice we were gone because of how great Alekhandra treated them 🤣

Jane did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats. She was reliable, showing up twice daily as scheduled, and clearly took great care of them. She played with the cats during her visits and kept their litter consistently clean. We appreciated that she went beyond the basics, keeping our kitchen spotless where the cats are fed. The photos from each visit showed our cats looking comfortable and content. It was so nice to come home tired and jet-lagged to happy, well-cared-for cats without having to tackle any cat-related housework.
