Thomas was excellent, he handled my cat’s medication needs well. We had a blizzard and he showed up through it all, couldn’t be happier with his service. Highly recommended

About: I am a school psychologist in Palisades Park. I have owned dogs my entire life. I love a dog's need for attention and their energy and unconditional love! During the summer, I can be available most days and most times during the day. I am available most evenings. I'm an early bird! I am looking forward to becoming friends with your dog while getting our exercise. I am also looking forward to your pet getting the attention he or she needs. I'm friendly, honest, loyal, and looking forward to a new adventure. I have a dog, Stephen. He is 3 years old and lives at home with me and my husband. Reach out to see if we’re a good match! I’m available some weekends. I can take them on walks, follow a schedule, and love a routine. My current dog is chill and likes other dogs too. How would you like me to take care of your dog? You just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions. I know how important it is to have a trusting person watch my dog. Your dog is allowed on my bed, couch, and wherever he may be comfortable.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.

About: I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Apart from my current two dogs, I've also raised three previous dogs from being a puppy into their senior years. I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement training, every dog deserves the utmost love and care. I own my own business and set my own hours so I can accommodate anyone's pet care needs. I'm fine with short notice requests and can work with anyone's schedule! I have two dogs that can run around freely in my fenced in backyard. They each get at least two solo shorter walks (about 15 minutes around the park we live next to) per day and an additional longer walk (around 45-60 minutes) once my girlfriend gets home from work where we walk both together.

Janayah is a lovely cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She read and followed all my instructions and took good care of my cat Luna. She provided a couple photos each visit. She played with Luna, kept the litter tidy for her, made sure her food plates were cleaned out and rotated. She has been very responsive in her communication and handled everything well while I was away on vacation. I came back to seeing everything neat and clean in the house as well.

I have been meaning to leave Molly a review for a long time! I’ll summarize why she’s an incredible cat sitter below. 1) You can tell she really cares about our cats. 2) She always sends fun updates. 3) She put a lot of effort into winning over our super shy cat who has NEVER come out for a cat sitter. Now he rolls over for belly rubs when she comes over! (How do I know? See point 2) This last time really takes the cake though and is what compelled me to write a review. I made an error on the booking and missed a whole day in the middle of our vacation. Molly reached out ahead of time and asked about the missing date, which I appreciated SO MUCH because I would have been worried sick about the boys being left alone or without food for a full day. I’m so glad she reached out and the peace of mind I get for knowing my cats are in good hands is worth everything. If she’s looking for the extra business, you should absolutely book her for your pet sitting services.

About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.

About: When you love dogs or cats that love will always be with you whether you’re caring for your own pets or someone else’s. I believe pets should be treated like people, with love and a concern for their comfort, happiness and well being. After owning a family retail business for many years, and then working for a major national bank, it was time for a change. Why not do something that involves my love for pets? Dog walking was the answer. For the past eight years I've been delivering dog walking services to pet owners, ensuring strict supervision of pets during excursions while providing a safe and nurturing environment for dogs with different needs, temperaments and medical conditions. Most importantly, you can rest assured that the safety, security and well being of your dog will always be my number one priority. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday between 8 am & 4 pm. I’m not usually available on weekends, however, if you’re in a bind and need a walk or a visit on a Saturday or a Sunday, and I have no plans that weekend, I most likely will be able to do it as long as it’s no later than 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.

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.

Jade did a great job with drop-in visits for George. She was dependable and communicative throughout, and we really appreciated her letting us know in advance when she was running late on one of the visits. George was well cared for, and everything was handled smoothly overall. We felt comfortable having her in our home.

Tirzah did an exceptional job taking care of my kitties. McLovin connected with her instantly, and she always played with him which he loves. Ms. Vanjie takes more time to get close to new people but Tirzah was patient and gave Vanj the space to come out and play when she was ready. I felt really good on my trip knowing our babies were safe and in good hands

I’d easily recommend Jonny to anyone. Me and my wife have a fairy large dog who doesn’t love new people. With our wedding coming up we needed to find someone to pop in and check on him, Jonny did just that for us and alleviated a lot of our stress. Jonny was super flexible with his schedule, he took the time to get out dog comfortable with him. At first meeting our dog was on the aggressive side and Jonny didn’t flinch. He’s a true pro. Beyond that he’s a great guy, super calm and friendly, there was never a doubt about his character and leaving him access to our house. We will definitely be using him more in the future. I couldn’t recommend him more.

She’s reliable, attentive, and treats our dog like her own, which gives us complete peace of mind when we’re away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.
