Myah had a great time at Jamie's playing with Ollie! This was her first time and she was excited to be going when we pulled in the driveway. She came home very happy and tired!

Suna provided outstanding and loving care to Buddy while he was with her. Buddy enjoyed going to her home every day and playing with her sweet Maltese, Mimi. The two dogs became forever friends! Suna communicated with us daily, providing text and photo updates, clearly indicating that Buddy was well taken care of during his time with her. I highly recommend Suna if you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile to insure that your beloved pet is safe and happy, whether for overnight stays or daytime care.

About: I know how much pets mean to their families. I am a pet parent too. I understand the anxiety we all feel while boarding our fur babies. When your furry friend/baby stays with me, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them their favorite treat, or extra cuddles when they’re missing you, I make their comfort my priority. I have hands-on experience providing safe, reliable, and loving care ensuring they feel at home even when their family is away. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments—covering everything from daily feeding and exercise to giving medications and keeping them calm in new environments. Why families trust me: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I keep their routine consistent, so they feel at home. I’m patient and gentle with pets that are shy, or need extra attention. I send updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. Most importantly—I give them the love, play, and companionship they deserve. We have comfortable living space, big fenced back yard for them to run, play fetch or just outdoor supervised play time. Also I am available to take them on walks. Socialization opportunity- We have a very friendly labradoodle, visiting friends have the chance to socialize, play and engage in positive interactions with another well behaved dogs. We have multiple gates, if required they will be separated during meal times. They are allowed to sleep on our couch, in our bedroom as well. You are welcome to bring anything like bedding or their favorite toys, blankets if that will make them more comfortable. Before first visit we will have meet and greet in my backyard, to be sure everyone gets along well. In all they will get lots of love, care, play time and of course lots of cuddles. I am currently working part time with flexible schedule, so pretty much open to work around your drop off and pick up time. I do go out for school picks up and drop off which is quick or to run some errands and appointments but just for couple of hours and I do have cameras on the pups. We have a fenced yard and one very friendly fur baby to keep your baby safe and have fun. I have multiple gates too, which can ne used to separate them if needed

About: I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna, 5 years old and Brownie, 2 year old. I have fostered dogs in the past. All having different personalities. We had to take a break from it because it was hard letting them go. My pups and I go on daily walks and play outside as much as we can. My family and friends have relied on me to walk and check-in on their pets when they are away. I promise to provide the best care to your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom so I will be able to make time for your pups! I can walk or check-in between 9:45am to 1:00pm during the week days. I can be available in the evenings and weekends if needed, but will need to setup ahead of time. I have a large fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs. Luna and Brownie are able to roam the backyard freely. We do use gates for indoor use, if needed, to make sure our pups and yours feel safe.

About: I've had every animal under the sun. I got my first dog when I was 7 years old and have never been without a furry best friend in my home. I love all animals. I work from home and so does my girlfriend. Someone will always be around to make sure your furry family member is well cared for. We have recently moved to South River NJ and now have a huge private fenced yard for your pups to play in and explore! They'll love all the space to run and play.

About: I have a very sweet and playful Border Collie who absolutely loves making new friends. He is extremely friendly and does great with both small and large dogs—especially medium to large breeds. He regularly plays with his Maltese and Golden Retriever friends and is very well socialized. My place is fortunate to have a dog park right downstairs, so dogs get plenty of outdoor playtime and exercise. I am at home 24/7, which means your dog will receive constant supervision, attention, and care. I would love to welcome a friendly play buddy for my dog and provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for yours. If your dog enjoys companionship and playtime, this will be a great match. I work fully remote, so there is always someone home to supervise and care for the dogs. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I live in a spacious 1,400 sq ft apartment in a secure building with password-only access. My home is safe, clean, and dog-friendly. My place also has two large dog parks nearby for daily exercise and playtime. Dogs are always supervised, and I carefully follow each owner’s care instructions to ensure a safe and comfortable stay

Alice is great with my special needs senior dog Porter. He is happy every time he sees her, and she is very responsible with catering to his special needs, allergies and medical conditions. She is very communicative and lets me know any changes observed in Porter during his stay, plus sends cute pictures regularly. I trust her with my deaf/blind senior completely.

Lineth was very good with Nova. You could easily tell how much she loves dogs immediately. She sent pictures and gave me feedback on how she was doing throughout the time Nova was there. From the pictures she sent, looked like my golden doodle got very comfortable with her - sitting on her lap, laying on top of her, following her around, etc. Lineth even went out with her in her fenced in backyard despite the crazy, artic cold. Looking forward to having her watch Nova again when the weather is in at the least the double digits!

She shared photos and videos of my pet every couple of hours and patiently listened to all of our requests and concerns. I will definitely use her services many more times in the future.

Megan is beyond words amazing. She looked after our pupper, and we could not ask for anyone better. We honestly wished she lived closer to us so we could use her more often. We dropped our older arthritic boy off with her for a few hours while we attended an appointment close by. Without having met her before, our dog was instantly comfortable with her. In a few hours, he was in love. She took perfect care of him, having water ready when we arrived and going above and beyond to make him comfortable. Very much appreciate that she has an "intake" where she asks pertinent useful questions and communicates with us about what's best for the dog while he is in her care. She sends copious amounts of photos (love it) and communicates while we are out to let us know how he is doing. I cannot recommend Megan enough. Top notch person and dogsitter.
