About: I’ve been trusted for years to help care for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats of all needs and sizes! I’m a very patient, gentle and loving person who will give my all to help make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I will ensure your pet has a fun time and is well taken care of. Currently I have several small commitments during the week, and plenty of free time to hang out with your pet! I am flexible and am happy to work things out with you! When visiting your home, I will make sure to treat your space with the utmost care and respect. I will make sure your pet is fed, that they haven’t had any accidents, and will spend some quality playtime with them. I can help administer any medications they may have and can take them on walks or let them outside for some fun playtime!!
“Johnny has done an amazing job with our dog and for us. He is responsible, prompt, and has great follow-up with the animal owner. With the dog he is kind, patient, and interactive. Great experience all around.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. From the family dog to the neighbors that are going out of town. I would feed the cats outside that usually ended up becoming a village. I care for two amazing cats now that are well behaved (Orange cat to the best of his abilities). I have an action camera that I can bring along upon request. I also like to take pictures so if allowed I’ll return some great pictures of your pet! I am an early bird that works from home with a very flexible schedule. I also go for evening walks around the park which are usually filled with dogs. Weekends are usually free. My cats get groomed weekly and have a food schedule that adapts well to their growing diet. When we dog sit our friends 2 Australian Shepard they are full of energy and get walked 3 times a day. Same goes for the family Boxer that has a few more years on him so he goes for a mild walk around the park.
“Mandi was absolutely the best with caring for our tuxedo cat Frenchy while we were gone for a week. All of her updates were detailed and her photos were great! She went above and beyond in giving us peace of mind knowing that our cat was well taken care of. I will not hesitate to use Mandi again and we will recommend her to all of my family & friends in the area. This was the first time we used Rover and am very impressed with it. Thanks again Mandi and “Go Pack Go ?”!”

“Cassie is a phenomenal pet sitter! She took care of our 2 cats for a week while we were gone and was very kind and in tune with them. She went above and beyond making sure to play with them each day too. Cassie is reliable and very friendly to coordinate with. We feel lucky to have found such a great pet sitter for future trips as well.”

“Mauri truly saved the day at the very last minute! I couldn’t see my puppy through the camera and was extremely worried — I even feared something had happened to him. I booked with Mauri just minutes in advance, and she responded so quickly and kindly. She gave me peace of mind right away. 100% recommended — I’d definitely book with her again! 🫶🏻”
“Andrew is so caring. My two Siberian boys trusted him right away. I know everything went well not just because of the notes and pictures shared (which were great) but because my sweet boys greeted me joyfully having been well cared for!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since childhood. I have almost a decade of dog walking and pet sitting experience. I know how important animals are to their owners and treat them as such.

About: I have cared for both dogs and cats over the years, and I currently own a grey, three and a half year old tabby cat. I am interested in petsitting either small to medium dogs and/or cats in your home only within the neighboring New Jersey towns of Belleville, Clifton, Passaic, Bloomfield, North Arlington, Lyndhurst, Rutherford, East Rutherford and Montclair. Working in other areas would be negotiable on a case by case basis, especially if it were in Manhattan or other New Jersey towns? I am also available to be a dog walker on nights and weekends during the summer months, too. I can also pick up your mail, water your plants, feed your fish and possibly other small errands or household chores as well. I can visit before and/or after work or throughout the day on my days off. This depends on the season and my current work schedule. For a client’s home I always put fresh (wet and/or dry) food and water. When we come back from walk, I will wipe all paws and butts afterwards. It’s also important to bond with the pet and spend some one on one time at home before and after a walk especially at the end of my visit.
About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since I was young, and I’ve always had a deep love for both dogs and cats. Having spent my life around animals, I know how important it is to give them the best care. I’d truly love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own I am currently working perdiem at hospital so I make my own schedule I’m mostly available on Sunday and Wednesday or Friday. I am pretty flexible I provide attentive, loving care in both my home and clients' homes. I stick to pets' routines, ensuring they’re fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of playtime and exercise. I’m thorough with litter box cleaning and follow any specific needs like medication or diets. My goal is to make pets feel at home and cared for.
About: Zoology background, rainforest fieldwork, and long-term experience with 8+ dog breeds and multiple other species. My care blends science, heart, and hands-on skill across species, ages, and personalities. I own a German Shepard and an Olde English Bulldog. We are a very active household. We go on multiple long walks a day. We also do a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming. I also actively take care of their hygiene daily. My German Shepard gets brushed and wiped everyday and my Olde English gets wiped every day along with the care for her wrinkles. They both get a bath at least once a week and paws are cleaned upon every entry to the house. I make sure all animals in my care are always safely taken care of in my company. No pet shall be off a leash, even in fenced in areas where we may not know other pets. I make sure I never put pets in any situations that can scare or harm them. I stick to required dietary restrictions. I also follow all rules and regulations put in place by pet owners. I always make sure pets receive the absolute best care they can.

Sage P.
“Sage is one of the kindest, most gentle, and loving souls I’ve ever met. I have watched them handle dogs of different breeds, sizes, and attitudes with grace. Out of the kindness of their heart Sage walks their own dog for several hours almost every day. He is a lover of all living things, saving small bugs from my pool, stopping to look at pretty flowers, and enjoying walks through nature. My three dogs absolutely adore him, even our pup with some trauma and anxiety. If you’re looking for someone who will go out of their way to make your animal feel loved, Sage is your best bet.”
