“Chloe is amazing! My super shy cat warmed up to her and was waiting for her at the door by the end of her visit. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She provided peace of mind and was thorough with her photos and communication. Thank you Chloe!!”

“Matthew and Christianna were excellent — punctual, communicative, and sent regular photo updates. Our dog was very comfortable and not stressed while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a clean, tidy house. For us, it was such a relief to be away and not worry about a thing. Highly recommended!”

“Yvette was awesome! Took such good care of my 3 little fur babies. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and I was in the loop with pictures and updates. One million percent would book again! Thank you!!!! 🐾🐾🐾”

“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Suzanne gave our dog while we were away. Our dog can be difficult to manage, but Suzanne handled her with such patience and skill. She truly went above and beyond!! She sent constant photos and thoughtful updates that gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, caring, and experienced sitter. Suzanne is a gem!!”

“Second time booking taylor and she was great watching my fluff. She followed all instructions very well and is very professional. Definitely recommend her for your pups/ animals!”

“Raquel was communicative and reliable when we needed a last-minute drop-in sitter for our cat over the holiday weekend. During the meet & greet, she was very interested in learning about Monty’s habits and needs. While we were away, Raquel sent updates and photos each day, and helped with an unexpected package delivery. It was great to know that Monty was in such good hands - we highly recommend Raquel!”

“Peter was very attentive with Meeko making sure his needs were taken care of! I received lots of updates and pics which made me feel reassured Meeko was in good hands. Thank you!”


“Erick did a great job taking care of our cat following my wife's exacting food prep standards over several days while we were away. We had an intro meeting ahead of our planned visits, and after that we had an unexpected change of plans and he was able to accommodate a different schedule on short notice. He was on time, responsive, and dependable. He played with the cat, fed him, changed his water, and cleaned his litterbox. Erick also went above and beyond, ie he brought in packages left on the porch and pulled in the trash container from the curb after the weekly pickup. Highly recommended.”

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since my own pup was just 8 weeks old. From fun off-leash adventures to cozy times at home, I’ve helped my dog grow into a friendly, well-socialized little buddy. I also enjoy walking g and looking after my brother’s dogs (medium and larger size). I always make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve and it makes me happy to see them happy and cared for. Thank you for reading this and I can’t wait to help you too. I’m currently taking a break from my professional career to spend some more time at home with both my children and pup. My kids are teens and at school during the day so I have time for extra dog walks and care. I have a fully fenced in large backyard and my Cockapoo pup is super friendly around both people and other dogs. I’d want to meet and greet before caring for your pup to ensure we are all comfortable and I understand how you’d like me to care for your pet in your home or around your neighborhood.

About: I love taking care of my 2 dogs (American Bully & Golden Doodle), as well as my 3 cats! I’m available to play with your pets, walk them, or even just be in the house with them when they need some company!!! I’ll be studying to get my Masters through an online program and am looking to make some money while I’m going through school! I’m from Bergen County and am open to caring for any pets in the area! I am happy to walk your pets, play with them, or just stay inside with them if that’s what they prefer! Whatever your preferences are, I’m more than happy to accommodate!
About: I have 2 dogs, young and big, old and small. I’ve helped train and care for both so I am very capable of walking, caring for, and sitting for dogs and pets-alike. I take care for my own dogs daily yet my schedule is very flexible throughout the year. I am available all throughout the week and on most weekends. I will make sure to entertain your pet yet respect the rules of your home by treating it as my own. No roughhousing or jumping around allowed!
“Alina was fantastic. I'm so happy I found her. She stepped in to take care of 2 cats 2 times a day for over 2 weeks on pretty short notice. Communication wasn't easy since I'm overseas in a different time zone but it worked. I loved getting her pics and notes everyday, seeing how well she cared for Tara and Kora. She obviously loves cats and I was thrilled to see how comfortable and happy they were with her. She went above and beyond for me and them. I highly recommend Alina and won't hesitate to book her again.”

“She took very good care of my dogs, bashful as the one is. Took nice pictures, did everything we agreed upon, Roomba was happy to have a new friend, and Susie was happy in her own way.”

My clients describe me as reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy, and I take pride in always showing up as scheduled. I’d love to meet your pup and answer any questions you have. Their happiness is the whole point! I’m a recent graduate from Virginia Tech’s agricultural & applied economics masters program.

If you request that your dog be kept off furniture, I will ensure they adhere to that rule. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, playtime, or any other routines your pet requires. By maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment, I aim to reduce any stress or anxiety your pet may experience in your absence.

About: I've had the wonderful experience of caring for the many animals at the humane society including dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, and birds. I've had the chance to bond with animals with a variety of different personalities and background stories. I also have administered medication and cared for animals with different medical needs including chronic kidney disease. I hope to bring my experience and passion for animals to better serve your feline and canine friends. I'm currently available on the weekends and Friday night. I hope to dedicate plenty of time to spend taking care of your animal companions. I hope to have more availability in the future. In addition to feeding and changing the litter box, I hope to check in on your animals to make sure they are comfortable and there are no hazardous items around. I hope to spend some time socializing and playing with them if they up for it! Otherwise, a friendly hello will do.

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I’m a reliable and compassionate person who truly loves animals and understands the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience in administering medication to dogs. I work closely with a local rescue, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy or anxious pets. I am patient and attentive, and I treat every pet like family, making sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and personalized care! I am an incoming medical student who plans to live locally. I do not currently work as I am getting ready to start school in July and spend my free time as an EMT on my town's ambulance corps, volunteering at an animal shelter, or at my local food pantry. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I want to create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I closely follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and any special needs to make sure pets stay happy and comfortable while in my care. Through my experience working with a rescue, I’ve learned how to handle pets with different personalities and energy levels with patience and care.
