“James was fantastic!!! I can not say enough about him . He was great with our two potties one is very needy! He took great care of them sent pics and updates and house was spotless when he left!! We will definitely be asking him to come back . Thank you James!!!”

“I highly recommend Charlie as a dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our grandma Carlee over the busy 4th of July weekend. At 15, Carlee is very low maintenance but has some special needs. Charlie was attentive to all of them and we especially appreciated seeing her so comfortable and cozy in the updates he provided whenever we requested them. We weren't able to respond immediately to early questions about her care, but it was clear that Charlie had everything under control. When we returned home, Carlee was safe, happy, and clearly well-cared for. That's all that truly matters, and we're so grateful for Charlie's excellent service!”

“Alyssa was absolutely fantastic with my dogs! You could tell from the many photos that they were relaxed and happy. Amazing communication! I’ve already rebooked her!”

“Siara was lovely and we will absolutely have her back. Even though it was her first time taking care of our two large pups and she was plagued with frequent storms and an unexpected limp, she handled each challenge with grace and communicated with us well! Highly recommend!”

About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.
“Nathalia was great!! She took great care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. She left the place neat & tidy as well! Will definitely be booking here again.”

About: I’ve had my dog, Winston, for 10 year's. My family is usually busy, so when i’m home i make sure to walk him at least once a day. I’ve watched a few of my friends’ dogs and cats as well, and have walked multiple dogs from my neighborhood. I am a graduate student at MSU and I commute from Nutley, so I get home fairly earlier from class. The first thing I do when I get home is take my dog on a walk. I can crate dogs, take them out, feed them, play with them, show them love, and just spend some quality time with them! I always make sure to respect boundaries though and read their body signals when they need space.
“Nicole was the absolute best choice to watch our dog when we had to go out of town overnight. I was nervous to leave him but Nicole was super communicative, treated him like her own pup, and took excellent care of him. We feel SO much better knowing we have Nicole as an option for dog sitting when we go out of town.”

About: I started working with animals at 18, from dog grooming to caring for friends’ pets. Over time, I learned that every animal has its own personality and needs, and that patience and compassion are key to gaining their trust. Now, as a proud mom of two dogs, my love for animals has only grown stronger, and it inspires me to treat every pet with the same level of care I give my own. currently work at a beauty salon from Tuesday to Saturday, but I have a flexible schedule, especially from Tuesday to Thursday. I’m fully available on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I can care for your little ones in the mornings or after 5:00 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are a bit more limited for me, but with advance planning, I’m happy to help. I can take them on walks, assist with feeding, or keep them company at night if they’re home alone. I adapt with love, commitment, and responsibility to their needs. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of love and patience. I can care for your pet in your home or visit for walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible, respectful of routines, and treat every fur baby like family.

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. Currently, I am only doing pet sitting and dog walking as my full time job so I have a lot of time to take care of your pet’s needs. I babysit small animals at my home but bigger animals I go to the client’s home due to lack of space at my home for bigger animals. I also find that it helps the pet get use to me if I am in their environment .
“Jenette was such a great cat & house sitter! She took care of our 2 cats in our home for a week and everything went so smoothly. Our cats were so happy when we returned. Such a relief to know that they were content & well taken care of while we were away for an extended period of time, especially since they are not always in good spirits after a trip! The house was spotless and she even watered our vegetable garden! 10/10 we will definitely be booking with Jenette again- thank you!!!”

“Cassie was an excellent sitter for our dog Bear! It was a slightly last minute booking and she made time for a meet and greet. She sent pictures throughout the stay. And when our flight was rerouted due to weather, she stayed extra hours beyond what we had booked. She truly went above and beyond. Thanks Cassie!”

About: Hi my name is Delaney and I love animals! I am passionate about caring for them and enjoy their company. I ride horses and have a pet gecko. I have taken care of dogs before and know that each one has different needs. I one day hope to take care of animals on a larger scale, owning my own rescue for abused and mistreated animals. Watching these dogs wouldn’t be just for the money, but for my own pleasure because dogs bring me so much joy and nothing makes me happier than knowing I have done a job well done. I promise your dog will be in good hands and well taken care of. No one is as suited to do this job than me. I am currently a full time student at Marymount Manhattan College, and plan my pet sitting assignments with my class schedule in mind. I ensure that I have sufficient time between classes and assignments to meet the needs of the pets I'm responsible for. I understand that pet care needs can vary, and I'm committed to maintaining a flexible schedule that aligns with the needs of pet owners. I can adjust my availability to fit around my school classes and other academic obligations. I take pet care seriously, and I'm committed to providing the best care for each animal I look after. Their well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and I ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. I will follow the pet's established daily routine as closely as possible while offering companionship, petting, and cuddles. I will be sure to report any unusual behavior, signs of illness, or changes in eating or drinking habits. I will secure the home when leaving, double-checking that all doors and windows are locked and that the pet is safe and comfortable. I will provide excellent care to your pets, ensuring your beloved animals' safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: I had pets when I was younger and grew up having responsibilities of taking care and being attentive to the care of animals in my life. I am a college student on summer break, I would love to go out for walks and giving your pets the attention that I can give due to my flexible schedule. I have a spacious backyard and being close to a park is wonderful to go on long walks or just let your pets run around.
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.
