“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.”

About: As a hard working physician assistant student I bring the same kindness, attentiveness, love, and care to your pets as I do to my patients. I am in my clinical year of PA school which allows me to have flexible hours and the ability to care for my pet and yours too. I have a comfortable home where your pet can hang out and play with my pet, and a nice yard where they can explore together.
About: Hi, my name is Isabel. I am an animal lover providing pet sitting, dog walking, and pet visits to your furry or feathery friends! I am very experienced with animals. I have had every pet you could possibly imagine, from dogs to parrots. My passion has grown stronger and stronger throughout my life, creating bonds with my clients and own pets. It has grown so strong as to create a future for me. I plan to pursue my dream career and fulfill my passion for animals by studying to become a veterinarian. I have always wanted this and never had a doubt in the world about working with animals in my future career. I know that I am greatly equipped and awesome for this position. This is not a job for me, but rather an opportunity to create bonds, share my passion, and reach my goals.
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.
“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.”
“Chloe is a rare find. She is incredibly thorough and buttoned up- beyond organized with a binder of notes and questions upon meeting you and your pet. She’s exceptionally responsive to check in requests and always goes above and beyond. I came home last night to my mail brought in and she even brought our recycle bin up from the curb. I highly recommend her! So does Oliver ;)”

Chelsea took amazing care of my cat. She made sure to follow the special instructions I left and took lots of cute photos of my girl. I also really appreciated the updates she gave me every day. Chelsea made me feel good about leaving my cat at home while I went on a trip. Thanks Chelsea!
Haley is so responsible, communicative, and caring when taking care of our elder cat, Soosie! We feel so at ease being away when we know Haley will be her sitter. Soosie hasn’t been around a lot of non-relatives in her life, but she seems to really love her time with Haley.
