“Holly and DK were wonderful! Extremely professional and warm. They took great care of our pup while we were gone for the week. Highly recommend their care.”
“Na was amazing in taking care of my rescue dog who is generally very nervous and shy around strangers. She took the time to let him get to know her and gave him plenty of space to play and took him on many walks. The communication throughout was also top notch, I got so many pictures and updates, which made me feel at ease that he is happy and safe with her. At the end of the stay my dog was so comfortable that he wanted to go back into her house! Which says a lot! I’m sure both my dog and I will be happy to go back.”
“Bhavani and family took care of our Diesel during holiday season (9 days). Our Diesel is a large (lab) puppy with extra energy. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. She even helped navigate the app( for first timer like me) and from the beginning of setting up the meet and greet visit to until the last day, she was prompt in communicating, shared pictures and videos daily, followed the instructions. Bhavani family loved and cared for our Diesel like it their own. Did not bother us with anything, just shared pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and confidence to enjoy our vacation. Her home is safe for pets and she really has the experience to handle them. I will use her service again in future ( although it is an hour away drive for us) because safety and happiness of our fur babies comes first. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Bhavani.”
“Lisa takes responsibility for dog sitting to heart, ensuring good pet care with affection. She was very professional, while ensuring my dog’s time was like home away from home. She will be my go-to for dog sitting in the future.”
“Anthony was very friendly toward us and coco. Coco came in to Anthony’s house and I could tell he fell at home. Anthony was very attentive to cocos need and I fell comfortable leaving with him. Everyday I got feedback and pictures from Anthony. I really appreciate the care that Anthony gave my baby boy. Thank you”
“Megan & Nick are THE best. They welcomed our 3-yr old American Staffy into their home and took excellent care of her for a week. They will be my go to for sure and I can vouch for them without reservation!”
“Margarita did an outstanding job taking care of our dog for a week. She’s extremely caring and treated our dog like part of her family. She communicated with me while we were traveling so I had regular updates and photos/videos. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely use her services again.”
“Lucas and Katherine were phenomenal! They sent videos and pictures the entire time my baby was with them. You could tell they really love dogs and she was so happy to be with them. It was great to know that she was being well cared for and loved.”
“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.”
“So glad my family was match with Stacia. From the meet and greet to when my dog stayed with her for 5 days , I felt so comfortable and at ease throughout the process. I had to travel internationally and she was sending me update throughout the day . I was not worry at all because I saw how my cinnamon was happy . Thank you again and we definitely will booked her again”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Napoleon! Being available during an emergency and being able to care for Napoleon during an extended stay was so kind. Napoleon will certainly be back soon, he already misses his bestie <3”
“My dog Kona had a great time with Amrit and his daughter last week. I received regular updates and photos which put me at ease while I was away. Amrit was very responsive from the start and responded quickly to coordinate a meet and greet. Although he was not available for the entire duration of my trip, he offered to watch my dog for as long as he could which I appreciated very much especially during the busy summer months. I definitely recommend Amrit (and his daughter) to watch your dog! I am hoping they are available the next time I am away. Thank you for taking such great care of Kona!! 😊”

Na and her family are truly special. The love they have for animals and giving back to their community is amazing. Our dog Luna was spoiled and pampered, received home cooked meals, and took several walks per day- rain, snow, or shine! Na sent detailed updates and photos every day, so we knew Luna was having a great time and receiving the best love & care. And after all of that, Na and her family donate their proceeds back to the local community. We immediately booked Na to care for Luna when we are on our next vacation! Thanks Na & Family for everything!
Happy and relieved to have found our new go-to dog-sitter!! Ashley was so kind and loving toward our girl, Piper. She brought her into her home as if she was one of her own. She is very conscientious and has lots of little things in place to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe. I really appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent so we could see that our girl was happy and loving life at Ashley’s house. We will definitely be using her for boarding going forward!
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!
Rishi and his family provided excellent communication, engagement, and care for our dog Stella. Rishi sent pictures & videos often and Stella looked VERY happy walking and playing with their dog Pearl. Even smiling while napping! They played together so nicely which was such a relief as Stella is timid around aggressive or too assertive of dogs.. Rishi and his family are true dog lovers and their dog Pearl is very well trained and sweet! I highly recommend, especially if your dog has a playful, easy going, and friendly temperament!
