“David did an outstanding job watching our dog, Trixie. He walked her often during the day, and had her out early in the morning and well into the evening. He came to our home the day before his scheduled time to meet with us, and to see the dog. He wanted Trixie to see us together with him, so she would be comfortable knowing that he was an accepted part of our pet family. He left our home in perfect condition when we came back from a brief vacation. David is a very nice person and he is well suited with pets. I would have David back in the future when his services are again needed. Roseann and Mike b”


“Milena was absolutely amazing with our big dog Magnus. She was so great to work with, excellent communication, very kind, caring and trustworthy. We returned from our trip with a very happy dog, and the house was just as we left it. I would HIGHLY recommend!”



“She’s amazing with dogs! She did house sitting and dog sitting for us. She had previously dog sat for our dogs and then we had her booked again, but then had some last minute big family changes and suddenly inherited 2 new dogs. With the big changes we had to switch around which dogs she watched for the week. She was extremely accommodating and understanding. Also, those dogs had been through some recent trauma and she worked so hard to build their trust and by the end of the week they were cuddling up and loving on her. Would highly recommend her services.”


“Aletris was great with my dogs. She kept us updated and took care of them like her own. She went above and beyond will definitely rebook with her!”


“Joseph is fantastic. My puppy loved him and took to him right away. Thank you, Joseph!”



“Kaitlynn was great! She came and met the critters before taking on the house-sitting job. It's really obvious that she knows a lot about and adores dogs and cats. She communicated well and kept me informed throughout the visit. I would love to have her house-sit for us again!”


“He stayed at my home with my pup Bamba for a week and made the whole process so easy. He was respectful of my space — the house was spotless when I got back — and, most importantly, I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!”


About: I've been around all sorts of animals since I was a child, firstly with pet birds of my own, then volunteering at a farm for a number of years. Most recently, my experience as a veterinary assistant and being in school for a veterinary technician degree also gives me much knowledge in care for all sorts of animals, especially dogs and cats! I'm currently working at a veterinary hospital and have a few days where I can take time to fit pets that need attention into my schedule. Since my schedule changes regularly, my availability may change weekly, but usually does not impede on any pet that needs my attention. I have a variety of cages, leashes, harnesses, and toys for all size dogs if it is not available to the owner. Another benefit I can offer is the fact that since I also work at an animal hospital, if in the event where a pet needs attention while their owner’s are away, I have the access and contacts to help with any needs of that pet as soon as possible, with the permission of the owners.

About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets... I'm currently working full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your poppies! I'm available for boarding on weekends and holidays, just let me know in advance. I can’t take care of your dog in my house, I can take it for a walk or take care in your house. I am so socially.

About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

“Lindsey was an absolute pleasure! She was kind and amazing to our girls! She was a respectful guest and updated us daily. Will be using her again!”



About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my individualized care. Every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to their specific needs and personality, ensuring they receive dedicated, personalized attention and genuine companionship, not just a standard service. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me — it’s a natural part of my daily life. I structure my week around my pet-sitting commitments, making sure each visit gets the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I plan my schedule to match each pet’s routine as closely as possible. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved is something I take seriously every day. When I’m caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking to their usual routines. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs — whether that means keeping up with their favorite walking route, feeding schedule, playtime habits, or simply giving them space when needed. I always follow any instructions you provide closely, from medication to mealtime routines, and I keep the home tidy and secure while you're away. I treat every pet and home with respect, as if they were my own.

About: Genuine care for every dog, and understanding their specific needs. Being there for them, consistently, emotionally and physically as if they were my own dog. I have additional experience in care for diabetic dogs and administering insulin. I also have experience in puppy care! Im currently home from school, working part time with a lot of availability both during the week/weekends. I will make time for your dog always. Ensuring all dogs receive appropriate exercise through long walks, attention and diligent supervision. An emphasis on giving dogs needed emotional attention, not just physical presence.

“Isabel is great! She watched my baby for while I was away for a trip and loved on him exactly the way I would. Fleece can be a handle with between his energy and clinginess and Isabel did an amazing job. She was communicative every step of the way followed all care instructions and sent plenty of picture of my baby while I was away. I even had an emergency at the house while I was away and she handled it great! Offering extra help wherever she could. If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to contact Isabel!”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was old enough to know what a dog was! I have dog walked and sat for family, friends, neighbors, and foster parents. I am reliable and trustworthy and will always put your pup first. I am a true dog lover at heart and will do everything I can to make your pup happy! I just graduated college and am looking for work in the healthcare industry before applying to medical school! I am looking to spend time with your pet(s), get some exercise, and make some money in my free time! I am available in the mornings, during the day, and at night! I will do my best to keep your pet to their routine! I am not allowed pets in my current residence. If I stay at your home, I will take every precaution to keep your pup safe and healthy!

“Sara was wonderful! She sent pictures and kept me informed. Bella loved her and I think misses her. Thanks for everything, Sara. I hope you will dog sit for me again .❤️”


About: I've always been an animal lover through & through. Much to my father's dismay (and my delight), my mother brought home 2 dogs for me and my sister between the years of kindergarten & 2nd grade. As I grew up, I took on more & more responsibilities related to caring for our new canine family members. My husband & I don't currently have a dog mostly due to my work schedule (for that reason we have 2 lovely, social cats, who we adore), so I get my fill by frequently dog-sitting for my parents and sister. Through caring for my parent's dog, I learned about more advanced medication administration and other special needs. I'm innately a genuinely caring & affectionate person who will go beyond the staples of basic care and will make sure your pup feels loved & cherished, like a family member. I work as per diem occupational therapist in home health. I treat residents all over Bergen County, and I make my own schedule, so I'm flexible as long as I know who I'm seeing & where I need to be at least a few days in advance. I am a huge proponent of the Meet & Greet (M&G) session. This is a step that I feel should not be missed, as it helps to minimize the risk of any hiccups, so you can fully enjoy your time spent out of town! At the M&G, you'll show me how I can safely enter your home, where the food and other essential supplies are kept, and you will be encouraged to share info re: your doggy's daily routine, i.e. feeding & play preferences, specific behaviors I should know about, medications if needed, rules re: treats, or if other equipment like crates and/or ramps are necessary, as well as what to do in case of an emergency. Most importantly, it also gives your pup the opportunity to meet me prior to the first dog-sitting session, which I feel is an important exercise in trust-building.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach to each pet’s needs. I take the time to get to know your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks, ensuring they feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s providing extra cuddles, managing special diets, or offering daily updates with photos and videos, I treat your pet like my family and make sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. Plus, I’m available for last-minute bookings and flexible with scheduling to accommodate your needs. During the week, I focus on my other commitments, but in the evenings and on weekends, I’m fully available to give your pet the care, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or weekend cuddles, I make sure to adjust my schedule to provide personalized care and peace of mind while you’re busy or away. Since I’m not able to bring pets into my home, I focus on providing top-notch care in the comfort of your pet’s familiar environment—your home. I make sure your pet feels safe and secure in their own space, maintaining their usual routine and surroundings. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat your home as my own and provide attentive care that keeps your pet happy and healthy. Plus, I ensure regular communication with updates, photos, or videos to keep you connected while you’re away.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs over the past few years. I’ve taken them on regular walks, engaged them in play, and provided attentive, compassionate care. I’m a contracted worker so can be pretty flexible with your pet sitting requests. I work in Montebello and live in suffern, NY. I like to pet sit in my free time. I provide food, water and a comfortable place for your fur-babies to sleep. I crate my dog and will crate upon request. I can administer medications as needed as well.

About: Hello, my name is Kayla. I am a dog owner looking to care for other dogs. I will treat your dogs as if they are my own, and my own dogs are treated like human children! I love all kinds of animals and will be completely respectful of all your instructions, just as I'd want someone to be with my own pets. I am also happy to send videos from our visits together . I treat peoples homes as if they were my own. I make sure things stay clean and organized. I know how stressful and nerve-wracking it can be to find someone to care for your fur baby, give me a chance and I will provide your baby with all the pets, treats, love and care needed! I currently have a full time job, but always available after 4 and on weekends. Great for someone who works late hours and cant get home to their fur baby. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own!

Stephen S.
“Stephen has cared for both my dogs on several occasions now, and I will never use someone else as long as he is available. His knowledge and experience around animals was very clear from the instant he met my pups. One is a pitbull rescue, which scares some people due to the stigma around the breed, but Stephen is beyond sweet and loving with both of them. He is prompt, reliable, and sure to text me photos and updates, which I always appreciate. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Stephen as a sitter!”

Kyra L.
“Kyra has helped us with our own dogs and with several of our short term foster dogs. I trust her completely with our two barky GSDs. She has an awesome energy. I've seen her walk a reactive 90lb Rottie and distract when necessary and maintain a happy playful demeanor that keeps the dog from escalating. She is able to read dog behavior to intervene when necessary in a play group, too. She was super calm with a high energy Jack Russell mix that had a tendency to get over stimulated. Highly recommend. Kyra is very responsible and experienced! Five stars.”

She treats my dog as if he were her own, ensuring he is well-fed, exercised, and surrounded by love. Her reliability, professionalism, and warm demeanor have given me complete peace of mind time and time again.”

Highly recommend David. Responsible, very experienced, and handled our 95 lb Golden Retriever without any problems. Will call him again in the future.

Excellent Cat Sitter, Not only were their needs taken care of. She went above and beyond and organized the place a bit. My cat is prone to allergies so this was really appreciated. You can really tell that her heart is in it and she takes care of them like they were her newborn child. Can't reccomend Alice enough
