“Rachell took amazing care of our cat on our last vacation. She even came here during a really bad storm and flood to make sure our cat was fed and happy. I will definitely be calling her again next time we go on a trip!”
“Richie is great. I have booked his services a couple of times to visit our home to take care of our dog Pepper. Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”
“Second time having Sara over for visits with my cat while I was away. She was wonderful, communicated well, sent lots of updates with cute photos and videos. I highly recommend Sara for your cat visiting needs!”
“Claire did a good job keeping the cats happy and playful. She spent reasonable amount of time with the cats and followed our specific instructions to keep house in an orderly manner. Thank you!”
“Vanessa provided excellent care for our 2 cats while we went on vacation! She sent updates and pictures everyday so we knew they were in good hands. We will be rebooking when we go away again. Thank you Vanessa!!!”
“Diane was so helpful and our cats loved her! She checked in daily and always gave us an update with cute photos. We will definitely book her again! Highly recommended. Thank you!”
“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”
About: Hi, I’m Alexis! I’m a recent graduate in biochemistry and lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs — from puppies to seniors, big and small. I’ve personally owned and raised four dogs, including my beloved Airedale who recently passed away after 10 wonderful (and very stubborn!) years together. He taught me patience, persistence, and how to love fiercely — and I bring that same energy to every pet I care for. I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. I’ve personally handed diabetes, arthritis, CKD, and hip displaysia in my own pets and do not shy away when an animal is in need of some extra care. Whether your pup is 15 lbs or 90, I’ve got you covered. I’m always happy to follow your pet’s routine, meds, quirks, and favorite treats to make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. Let me know if you have any questions or want to chat! I’d love to help out with your pets like they’re my own. I’m located in Scotch Plains and currently work full-time, so I’m mostly available on weekends and weekday evenings after 5 PM. I offer walks, housesitting, and overnights. Please let me know the normal routine that you and your pet have! I will do everything in my power to make them feel as comfortable as possible with me. Just tell me any feeding schedules, medication needs, favorite toys, or treats and I will make sure to tailor an experience just for you and your pet.
“Jade was great with my dog Mando which is a husky. We first did a meet and greet which was great because I got to see how they interacted with eachother and Mando loved Jade. We booked our walk soon after the meet and greet and everything went super smooth. She followed all my instructions regarding his walk and also provided updates. Ill definitely be reaching out for further services.”
“Mike was so great! He is so patient and kept me updated on my pup. It was my first time leaving her with someone so this experience was a little scary for me but he did so well in making me feel like my Ivy is okay! Will defiantly book with him again confidently when I travel again.”
“First time I left Axel home overnight and alone. Axel seems to be happy. Cassidy took good care of him while I was away. Sent me pictures and video everyday she met him. Very reassuring. Hoping she is free the next time I need to leave Axel.”
“Tracy was amazing and super helpful! She helped last minute and was flexible with times! She gave my cat insulin shots while I was away and kept him happy! Also sent me LOTS of pictures which made being away from him that much easier!!”
“Daniela was a wonderful & experienced sitter, she was very communicative and did a great job caring for my cat. I got daily updates, photos, and videos of my pet during my trip. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to board their fur baby!”
