“Jordyn did a great job caring for my westie in my home while I was away for a week. She sent updates and pictures. He was well cared for. When I returned home, Jordyn made sure everything was in perfect order! Linus misses her already! We’ll be calling Jordyn again! I highly recommend her!”
“Gabby was great with my pup Remy! Even when Remy was giving her a hard time on walks, Gabby was sure to keep his routine the same while I was away. She left my home clean and tidy as well!”
“Luis did a great job looking after our two dogs. He was responsive and clear with communication, and was sensitive in meeting the needs of our dogs. We would happily use his services again.”
About: For the past ten years, I’ve dedicated myself to providing professional, high-quality pet care, specifically focusing on dog walking/sitting. Over the last decade, I haven’t just walked dogs—I’ve managed schedules, built deep trust with clients, and mastered the art of understanding animal behavior and safety. Whether navigating the logistics of running a busy daily schedule or ensuring that every dog in my care receives personalized attention and exercise, I treat the responsibility with the highest level of professionalism. Ten years in this industry has taught me incredible time management, adaptability, and how to deliver exceptional, reliable service that keeps clients coming back Im my own boss! I work my own hours and will schedule according to YOUR needs!! Early mornings, mid day or late nights… whatever works for you! Animals will be kept at close distance and leashed. I have my own transportation (if needed). When I am with the pet my attention is completely focused on them!
About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal
“Dani is wonderful! She watched our two dogs and our bird, in our home, while we were away for three nights. Both of our dogs are rescues and do much better staying in their own home. One of our dogs is very reactive and takes medication. Dani was so patient and kind and worked with us to help Cooper gain her trust. She communicated during our trip and sent us photos of our fur babies. She kept our house impeccable, as well! We will definitely be using Dani again in the near future. She is highly recommended to anyone looking for a compassionate, hardworking, knowledgeable dog sitter. Thank you Dani, for all you did to make us and our pets so comfortable!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with my furry friends. My mom likes to say I’m somewhat of a dog whisperer😂 I am home for the summer and available everyday. I work at the Florham Park Day-camp throughout the week. Hours are: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm I love to go on long walks with my own dog Ollie. Along with keeping well fed and happy. Im sure he would enjoy some company on his walks! Im prepared to care for any of your pet’s needs.
“Grace watched our senior pup for a week. He is very boring to watch - he just likes to sleep and hang out (no walks or play - too old for that nonsense anymore lol) Jett is very particular who he likes and he was lying next to Grace by the end of the week! WOW! We are so happy with Grace - always kept us updated on our little guy and was reliable and took care of Jett perfectly! Highly recommend, Grace to watch your babies!”
“Breanna and Myah are amazing sitters and cared for our pups with so much love and attentiveness we are just so grateful! The multiple daily updates and photos were so nice! I would highly recommend them! We already have them booked again for our next trip as well aa some daytime drop ins.”

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!

“MaKenna took excellent care of our furry family while we were out of the country. She was great at communicating and providing photos. She was thorough with providing our Daisy her meds and getting to know Daisy, even though she's a bit shy. And Winnie and MaKenna seemed to click right away. It was clear by the photos that both animals had a great time!”
“We are so thankful to have found Coral to watch our sweet boy while we were away internationally. She has a relaxed energy and was so responsive and responsible. We felt at ease with her in our home and will absolutely use her again!”
“Temi was quickly responsive and was able to help watch my dogs when my last minute trip came up. Thank you so much! He does an amazing job caring for my babies and sending me updates about them. You will not regret booking him to watch your fur babies!”
“Hadija was an amazing sitter! My dog is very afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks and Hadija made sure to comfort him and make him feel safe. She also provided a lot of updates and left our house in perfect condition. I would definitely book with her again!”

Abby was absolutely amazing during her stay with our pets. She followed our instructions, was loving and engaging with them and sent pictures daily. She also anticipated needs, which was very helpful. She was trustworthy and reliable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. We have already booked her again for regular walks
Alissa did an in home sitting with my dog Phoebe for a weekend and was amazing. She is an excellent communicator and my dog loved having her there. She is very self sufficient and gave me peace of mind while I was traveling, making it possible for me to enjoy my trip without stress over my dog’s well being. I would recommend her for anyone looking for an excellent dog sitter!

Natalie took great care of our dog while we were away! Our dog is very shy and she was so good with him. She sent updates often that made me feel at ease. She left our house very clean and just as we left it. I can tell he really enjoyed spending time with Natalie. We will definitely book with her again!
Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!
Catherine was absolutely excellent! My dog needed extra care for a foot injury including antibiotics, pain meds, and eye drops since he’s blind and she handled everything perfectly. She was attentive, careful, and kept me updated throughout. I felt at ease knowing Joey was being cared for well.
Our dog can be slow to warm up to new people and is often a bit withdrawn when we leave her with sitters, but she took to Jodi right away. We only had Jodi for a short weekend. She took Piper for 2 walks, despite the brewing nor'easter, and Piper had fun with her.
MaKenna took excellent care of our furry family while we were out of the country. She was great at communicating and providing photos. She was thorough with providing our Daisy her meds and getting to know Daisy, even though she's a bit shy. And Winnie and MaKenna seemed to click right away. It was clear by the photos that both animals had a great time!
