1. Rhea & Michael S.
“Rhea and Michael should be the first person booked in the Northern NJ area. We forgot to leave the device to get into the house today and they stuck around while I came home to let them in. Our previous dog walker from rover would have said they walked the dog and left. They go above and beyond every time. Simply the best!!!!!!”
2. Britany M.
“Britany, Has been walking my 4-5 month old puppy for the last couple of weeks and we have been very happy with her services. For our meet& greet she asked about our pups routines, commands our pup knows, and how he should be rewarded. She has been reliable and Rider really enjoys her visits.”

“I highly recommend Erin as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Erin is attentive, reliable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She has a natural bond with animals, showing genuine care and patience with every pet she looks after. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or providing companionship, Erin ensures pets are well-cared for and happy.

“Just the best :)”
7. Ivy W.
“Ivy is amazing with animals! She has had dogs in her family since she was 5 years old and has a innate talent for interacting with them. She showers her pets with love and attention and is affectionately referred to as "the dog whisperer" at the dog park. She is extremely responsible taking care of her own pets as well as others. This past summer she worked at a doggie day care playing with the dogs and even shampooing and drying many of them in the grooming station. She has had experience with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and temperaments, and is very adept at knowing what they need and how to interact with them. I woud recommend Ivy to anyone who is looking for a loving and responsible pet caregiver.”

9. Lynn T.
“Lynn has been a pet lover all her life. She has cared for 5 dogs of her own. She is very caring and dedicated to the well being of her pets. Lynn would be the perfect care giver for anyone that needs a pet sitter. Rest assured that if Lynn is watching your pet, your pet will receive the best care possible.”
10. Theresa G.
“Theresa is THE most giving person I know. She has a dog at home that I have witnessed her spending countless hours with to care for her and love her. Not only with her dog, but with mine as well! She has taken my dog and her dog on double walks and treated him like her own and has watched him while I was on vacation. My dog, Cooper, aways comes back home from Theresa’s house cleaned, brushed, fed, and happy. I have no doubt in Theresa’s ability and passion for this.”
11. Luke G.
“We use Luke all the time to watch our precious fur baby Sunny. He’s reliable and very caring towards our baby girl! Would highly recommend him!!”
12. Brittany L.
“Brittany is GREAT! Really great at communicating and making sure we are in the know of things. Our dog Wally loves her—he hates the rain and somehow had no issues walking in the wet with Brittany. Highly recommended!”
13. Stephanie A.
“Stephanie is excellent with dogs. She has had her own dogs and lives with 2 police dogs currently and 1 other pet dog all who are large breeds (2 German Shepherds and 1 Norwegian Elkhound). Her passion for dogs is apparent and every dog she meets loves her. Due to her experience with dog care I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a loving, compassionate, and kind person to care for their pups. Do yourself a favor and reach out to her and find out for yourself!”
14. Ashley D.
“Ashley Diaz is a good friend of mine but before that was an amazing room mate! Having known her in that close of a proximity allowed me to truly know her ethic/ values and abilities. Ashley is a woman of her word, she is committed to doing everything the right way and won’t leave anything (or in this case anyone!) you leave in her care unattended or under-prioritized. She has a cat of her own and they live in such a peaceful harmony together it is truly an honor to witness. She is a nurturer just by nature and takes great care of all that she comes across. I’d trust her with anything!!!”
15. Marianna G.
“Absolutely wonderful with pets! She is so kind and caring — truly attentive to their needs. Terrific with both cats and dogs. She anticipates their wants and goes the extra mile.”
16. Tucker L.
“Thank you Tucker! Lily very much enjoys her walks with you!”
17. Anthony G.
“Anthony was caring, responsible and punctual! He not only took our dogs out and fed them, but he played with them and made them feel loved while we were away. I have two older dogs that are anxious when we leave, but they were extremely comfortable having Anthony come over. Anthony was patient and spent quality time with them. We will definitely use Anthony again!”
18. Nicole M.
“She was awesome, super nice. She came on time , was super flexible when I had to change appointment times. Obviously loves dogs. Would highly recommend she’s great.”

About: Hi! I am a veteran and am very loving with animals I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have had 6 dogs through my life and I love them to death. Now i have 2 cats of my own they’re my life. I am very reliable and I don’t cancel. I will take very good care of your dog or cat and they will be loved by me as well! i am in the process of waiting to be a substitute teacher right now. so as of the moment i am not doing much just taking some classes so i am free whenever you may need! i have my own apartment in a home with a backyard. I do have my two cats at home i dont mind dogs being around them, i can leave my cats in a separate room if that would make you feel more comfortable for your dog if you need overnight.
