“I can’t say enough good things. Maria sent me pictures daily and kept me updated around the clock, ❤️❤️❤️ One big special request I have is that I have a Himalayan Persian cat and I needed his eyes cleaned every morning and she did beyond a wonderful job.

When I got home the cats always pur because they miss me but this time not even one single purr, that’s tells me they loved Maria’s company so much, they didn’t even miss me!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“I have been friends with Skylar for almost 10 years and I can say she is nothing less than greatness when it comes to genuinely caring and loving for animals. I own a transport business for working and service dogs with a clientele all over the country. Whenever I would be driving through NJ, Sky would always be ready to hands on and help me out with the animals I had on board. I highly recommend this kindhearted young woman to take care of your pets like they are your own!”

She’ll be the first I reach out to in the future! Thankyou for everything!”

14. Nicole Z.

“Nicole is an outstanding dog sitter! She was so thoughtful and kind in taking care of our dog, Edna. She took care of Edna and stayed in our place while we were away and even helped coordinate transitions with another dog sitter for a portion of the time we were away. Nicole provided regular updates and adorable photos of our dog while we were away - it was so reassuring to know Edna was in such good hands. Nicole was an excellent houseguest as well, even offering to water a few plants. We were so grateful for the high quality care Nicole provided - we highly recommend Nicole as an excellent dog sitter!”


15. Leah C.

I know they had a great time with her from the pictures and video she sent. Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her services moving forward..”


16. Kim T.

“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”


17. Daniela A.

“Tipper seems content and happy. Daniela was able to adjust her plans, as we ran into some problems while away, and was even willing to be here an extra night if we would have needed her. I am very thankful for her willingness to help given our difficult personal situation. We would be very happy to have her back to stay with Tipper at another time.”


18. Serena & Maxine N.

“Maxine was so amazing at watching my 2 dogs and cat. I was nervous at first because my dogs can be nervous around strangers. She sent me lots of updates and I felt so much better knowing they were in good hands. I will be using her every time we need a sitter!”
