Highly recommend! William hosted my diabetic/blind senior doggy and took such good care of him. William is very detail oriented, asked great questions showing he truly cares. He sent regular updates, went above and beyond making sure my dog eats and made me feel better about leaving him behind. Pugsy will definitely be coming back! Thanks William!

Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.

Jenn is the first sitter we’ve ever used for our one year old yorkie. We were so nervous but ended up having the best experience. Jenn was very responsive and sent us pictures throughout the day. Also a plus that her kids were there to play with our Bella and keep her engaged. I can tell she felt so loved. We will be using Jenn again very soon.

I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)

Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.

We had a wonderful experience with KAJAL D. From the start, communication was clear and prompt, which gave us peace of mind while leaving our dog in their care. They were reliable, attentive, and made sure to follow all of our instructions perfectly. Our dog was happy, well-cared for, and clearly enjoyed the extra attention. We also appreciated the regular video call, updates and photos—they made us feel connected even while we were away. I would highly recommend KALAL D. to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

About: Dear Future Client, Thank you for considering me to care for your cherished dog! I know how important it is to find someone who will truly love your pet while you're away. For me, dog sitting isn't a job, it's a passion. I've been a lifelong family animal lover, and when your dog stays with us, they become a member of my family. While I love all dogs, I offer special focus and patience for pets with unique needs: Senior Care: I have specific experience administering oral medications and providing gentle, low-impact care for our wise senior dogs. I ensure they have a calm, quiet, and comfortable environment for their achy joints. Puppy: If you have a puppy, I will reinforcing your rules, maintain consistent crate training and stick your potty schedule to ensure they feel confortable and secure. Be sure that my home is completely dog-proofed, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. I will complete your dog's exact feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule. You'll receive every morning and evening a detailed update with multiple photos and videos (if you request) so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing. I look forward to meeting you and earning your trust. Let's schedule a Meet & Greet soon so you can see where your dog will enjoy their happy stay! Warmly, Rodger (Your Dog's Second Best friend) Caring for your dog is the central focus of my day, guaranteed!. Your pet's needs are never missed because my schedule ensures continuous supervision. First potty break, feeding (per schedule), and gentle morning play. Long exercise walk (30-45 mins), dedicated playtime, and midday potty breaks. This is when I focus on reinforcing puppy training or providing calm senior monitoring Dinner (per schedule), extended backyard/safe area access, and focused attention during family time. "Rodger Report" sent with photos/updates. Last potty break, secured sleeping area, and medication administration (if needed). I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive the "Rodger Report" (a detailed summary with photos/videos) multiple times daily, confirming their safety, happiness, and adherence to their specific schedule.

The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾

I couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! From the moment I met her and her husband, I knew I could trust them. I’m extremely picky about who I leave Princess with—she’s my baby! But they went above and beyond. I got daily photos, videos, and even thoughtful little gifts when I picked her up. Princess was so loved and cared for—it was clear from their experience (she was a vet in Colombia!) and their passion. I’m beyond satisfied and relieved to have found someone I trust in New York. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further. I’m so grateful for them, and Princess had the best time!

Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.

Sam was wonderful at sitting my two dogs Vivian and Tiger. My dogs are on the high energy side and can be a handful especially Tiger who is rambunctious. Sam was gentle and easy going with my dogs and especially took care of Tiger who unfortunately was not feeling well that day due to a new brand of dog food not agreeing with his stomach. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy. I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!
