Anthony did a nice job taking care of our pups while we were away for a couple days. He sent photos and kept us updated during each required visit. Thank you, Anthony!

So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.

We ABSOLUTELY love Alissa!!! We were so nervous to use an app to find a dog walker for our new 6 mo old puppy, but Alissa was so responsive, patient and kind from the start. We are so grateful for her help!

Jordyn did a great job today with Dash. She was on time and immediately started playing with our puppy. Dash really took to her which put us at ease. We felt he was in good hands. Great job!

Katie is excellent. She has been taking care of my pup for the past 3 weeks and knowing he is in her hands makes me feel very relieved on my long days at work. She provides detailed updates and has been incredibly flexible. I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for my sweet sensitive boy. I would book her 1000 times over

About: Love all types of fur babies! And ready to take care of yours like it’s my own. My boyfriend and I have our own shelter with 13 dogs and 6 cats at our farm in Colombia. Ready to stay active and go on a run or give them all the pets they need and let them nap! Up to the pup or kitty! I’m currently working part time so I’m available during the morning time and for overnight stays. And I love to take walks so if I can stay active and take your fur baby out, that’s perfect! I will take care of your pet as you wish! First, we would establish important health need-to-knows, routines, ground rules, do’s and don’t’s, then I’d be able make sure everyone is comfortable and clear about your pet’s needs.

About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Short Hills/Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and care for your home as gently as your pets! I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾

We opted for drop-in visits for our dog and Gabby did an amazing job. She understood the instructions well and was super responsible in handling him and getting in and out of our home. My dog had a great time and we’d definitely hire Gabby again! 😊

Leigh took wonderful care of our two senior cats. She was comfortable giving one of our cats his medication twice a day and sent us good notes and pictures each day. Leigh is also just lovely and easy to talk to. From our initial meet and greet, it was clear she cares for animals and "gets" how to approach them. We feel confident leaving our boys in her care and will definitely try to book her again in the future!

Katrina was great checking in on our 2 cats while we were on holiday. One cat is very skittish but she opened up and played by day 2. Katrina was prompt for all check ins and great with communication (even when we were slow). We will definitely be using her again to watch our babies.

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats since I was born, and animals have always been a major part of my life. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared-for in your absence. I take the time to follow routines, respect training preferences, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles and fish, I have a genuine appreciation for animals of all kinds. I am very tidy and maintain a clean and safe space in my home for your pets to thrive in. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, responsibility, and respect at all times.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

About: I make an effort to be calm when I am with and around animals in order for them to know they are safe when they’re with me. I am home from college for the summer! I have a lot of free time. Mornings, afternoons, and nights I have available and every day of the week. I’d love to walk your pet around your neighborhood. Cleanliness and organization are important to me, so I would make sure to maintain those areas of your space for your pet!

Alissa took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a couple days. It was our first time leaving our cat, and Alissa took time to get to know her and her routine. She gave playtime each visit, and sent very sweet photos and updates, which helped us feel confident she was doing well. Thank you, Alissa!

We were beyond pleased with the service (and so was our kitty). Stephanie came through for us at the last minute on top of that as well. Everything was kept neat and clean, and although our cat is not the most social kitty, she did not seem at all upset by the presence of a new person in our home and everything stayed right on schedule for her. I could not recommend Stephanie enough and we will definitely use her again in the future!
