““I’ve known Stephanie for 20 years and can confidently say she is responsible, hard-working, and a true animal lover. She has a dog of her own and has always been kind and compassionate to my pets. Her energy, reliability, and caring nature make her an excellent choice for a pet sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their animals.””

“From the moment I met Josie I knew my dogs would be in great hands. Love her calm demeanor and both the dogs and I felt completely at ease with her. Her updates were timely and thorough and she took great care with my house!”


“Kierstyn is such a sweet girl! We had a super last minute trip and she was so flexible when it came to timing. We have two goldens who love walks and attention and Kierstyn gave them all her love to make sure they were comfortable while we were gone. Definitely get her phone number when you do your meet and greet-she sends the best pictures! Definitely booking with her again :) Thanks again Kierstyn”

“Marlena was amazing! She took the time to make sure she understood all of Freya’s routines and needs. Freya got to explore and make friends even while I was gone. Highly recommend Marlena to watch your pet while you are away from your home!”


About: My life has been surrounded by animals. Rest assured I’ll make sure to attend to your pets needs and provide any special accommodations. I'm great at communicating how your pet is doing during their stay or after my interactions with them. I am a student attending Stockton. I live in Northfield and also spend time in the summer in Wildwood Crest. My family also enjoys opening our home to care for your beloved pets. I have a large fenced in yard in order to allow your pet to exercise and roam freely. I am also available to provide services in your home as well. My home is pet friendly.

“Bridget is the best cat sitter I have ever had. I’ve used her services multiple times now for various length trips. Every time it has been amazing! She is very attentive, respectful, and always sends updates with photos of my fur babies. I know they are being fully cared for when Bridget is taking care of them.”

“I hired Mariana to watch the house as well as feed my cat Roxy twice a day and give her insulin injections. It’s difficult to find a sitter who will administer insulin, but Mariana did it without any issues. She also played with Roxy and gave her lots of love. We came back and our kitty was comfortable and happy. Mariana has an obvious love for animals … I highly recommend her!”


“I can’t Thank Theresa enough she has been taking care of my babies for the past four years. My dogs love her so much. You know she’s amazing if the get so excited just to hear her pull up.”

“I am positive there are not enough words in the English language to describe how fabulous Camilla was with our pups. This is the first time we have left our babies with someone who was not family. We received daily pup dates and pictures. Everything was just perfect and our babies were well cared for spoiled and happy. Some of those words I would use to describe our experience - wonderful, amazing, marvelous, incredible, awesome, extraordinary, impressive, stupendous, staggering, wondrous, remarkable, spectacular, astounding …… I could go on and on Overall the love and care given to our pups was too-knotch and we are so thankful for such a wonder human to care for our babies. We highly recommend Vamilla and will be booking again!”


“Katie connected really well with our skittish little pup Gigi when she took care of her and Presley overnight on short notice. Katie is personable, trustworthy, and all around down to earth and the kind of person you can trust to take care of your home and fur babies. Thanks Katie! We look forward to seeing you again in the future.”


“Peggy is so thoughtful and caring towards all humans and animals. She is responsible and reliable. Peggy loves to take my dogs on walks, to the beach, play fetch, and snuggles , she does it all! Highly recommend !!”

“Bobby is a friend of mine, his dog Nash (Goldendoodle) and my dog Maggie (AmStaf) are best friends and walk/play together on the beach a few days a week. This is at least the second dog that the Zuzolock's have had since I've known the family. Bobby is a great dog owner, Nash is a loved family member. I have also watched Nash at my home when there was a family emergency. Bobby has also watched my dog on several occasions. Boby is a great dog dad, and his dog Nash lives a pampered life. I also fully trust him to watch Maggie. Nash is also incredibly dog friendly, making it easy for Bobby to include other dogs in out routine.”

“Jessica watched our dog while we were out of town for 4 days. We have a Shepard lab mix who is elderly and we have had since she was 8 weeks old, so we don’t trust her with just anyone. Jessica took great care of her, spent time with her, and she walked her daily while we were gone. Our pup seemed content and happy when we got home. Jessica also communicated with us through out the time we were gone and was available for our dog in case our trip ran long. Definitely recommend dog care with Jessica. We will be booking for her again for future trips 😊”

“My pets love Vanessa. Luna, Stella, and Gus Gus were treated with kindness and respect while I was gone on a 2 day work trip. Vanessa checked in with me every couple hours and even sent me pictures! She also takes my dogs for walks when i have to work late. Thank you for everything!”

“I’ve been extremely pleased with the dog sitting services Arieanna has provided. She is highly organized, caring, and reliable. I was new to allowing someone to enter my home and take care of my pet and I can't say enough about the level, care, and quality of service. Arieanna goes above and beyond to take care of your pet when you are away. I highly recommend her for you pet needs.”

“Very nice we will use him again he sent pictures and updates”


About: Why do I want to be a pet sitter? Because there's nothing quite like the quiet companionship of a pet. Each purr and gentle nudge reminds me of the simple joys of trust and affection. Watching a pet sleep peacefully in my care fills my heart with a sense of purpose and warmth. Being a pet sitter allows me to provide comfort and love to these wonderful creatures, creating a bond that goes beyond mere caretaking—it's about sharing moments of peace, joy, and mutual respect. Need a pet sitter after 2pm? I’m your person! My mornings are spent at my part-time gig, but come afternoon, I'm fully available to cater to your kitty's every whim. Whether it’s delivering gourmet treats, untangling toy mice, or engaging in epic laser pointer battles, I’m here to ensure your feline royalty gets the royal treatment they deserve. Just don’t ask me to explain to my boss why my work bag is full of catnip! When it comes to caring for your animals, I've got it all covered. I'll ensure their food bowls are always filled with their favorite gourmet kibble of course. Playtime will be epic, featuring laser pointer marathons and the elusive red dot chase. Cuddles and belly rubs will be given on demand (or when I’m allowed, naturally). Plus, I'll provide them with top-notch entertainment by attempting to fold laundry, which we all know animals find hilariously fascinating. Your fur babies will be in purr-fect hands!

“Mary watched Coco for the first time and was great at communicating with us and sent us pictures. It was a relief to us to know she was well taken care of in her own home. We will definitely use Mary again!”


“Victoria arrived promptly and gave us continuous updates and pictures during her sit with Dexter. We would highly recommend Victoria to any other pet parents. We have already booked her for another visit!”
