Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!

From the daily updates and adorable photos to the genuine love and attention they gave, I felt completely at ease knowing my babies were in good hands. Reliable, communicative, and kind—I'll definitely be booking with them again!

About: I have always enjoyed caring for all kinds of animals, being their comfort, as well as building a loving connection. I have looked after family members’ and friends’ pets in the past, while they were away or just needed some extra help. Also, I do have experience with different temperaments, so shy or anxious is no issue! I never stop learning more insight about animals, so you can be rest assured knowing a reliable person is looking after your pets. At the moment, I am currently fully available for your pets needs. I can throughout the week walk/ pet sit. I look forward to meeting and caring for your animal. I am always happy knowing that I’m able to provide great care for each client’s pet. I’m happy to accommodate myself to your pets schedule and needs to mitigate any anxiety or disruption in regular routine. Including feeding times, daily walks, play time etc. safety is always in the forefront. All in all, I am committed to maintaining their routines and keeping them happy.

About: I grew up with dogs that were part of my family, which nurtured my love for animals. As I grew older, I took care of my friends' and family's pets, gaining valuable experience. I believe that pets are wonderful companions, and I am committed to caring for them with the attention they deserve. I understand the unique needs and affection that our furry friends require. I’m available to start pet care on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm , and I can accommodate daily care as needed. I lovingly ensure they are fed on schedule, provide plenty of playtime and exercise to keep their spirits high, maintain a clean and comfortable environment through grooming and litter box care, watch over their health with a gentle eye, and offer companionship to make them feel cherished and secure.

Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.

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’ve had a lifelong passion for animals but and small. Multiple dogs of my own with different temperaments, ages, and medical needs, as well as lots of experience pet sitting, all giving me lots of knowledge and insight about how to best care for your fur babies. It’s hard to be away from them so I’m here to provide the best care I can while you’re gone. I have plenty of availability weekdays and weekends for your pets. As many hours a day/night as you would like I would love to provide. Apartment or house, yard or no yard, your pets are safe with me. I am used to walking my own 100lb dog on leash, as well as doing safety checks on gates and doors to assure security. I’m very detail oriented and follow directions well, so it’s totally up to you how you prefer they be taken out, fed, played with, etc.

About: Let me just preface this— I am a true cat lady. Salesmen know how to work a room of people… I know how to work a room of cats. (=^.^=) Animals have been a part of my life since I was born. Pet birds free to fly around the home, our cats and dogs coexisting peacefully amongst them, bird feeders scattered around the yard, and joining my mother on her dog-walking jobs when I was 8 years old. Pet care has been engrained in my spirit. Naturally, from a young age, I became the girl who friends and family would ask to watch their pets, both dogs and cats. I still do to this day. In college, I started working for a local pet-sitting business here in North Jersey, doing both daily dog walks and vacation cat-sitting where I gained most of my professional experience in this field. Then I started picking up my own clients on the side for cat sitting. While I do have that dog-sitting experience, I would say I specialize in bonding with and taking care of felines most of all! I have experience with all types of breeds; Persian (owned a few myself), Abyssinian, Sphinx, Maine Coons, Siamese, and most of all, trusty old tabbies and Domestic Shorthairs. I truly love spending time with all types of cats and it shows in the bonds and connections I form with them! I'm currently a High School English teacher, so until June 24th, I can only do visits after 4pm and any time on the weekends. After June 24th, my schedule is wide open. DROP-INS— I am clean, respectful, and detail oriented when coming into your home. I make sure to follow all instructions thoroughly, and use my judgement to the best of my ability. I triple-check that I have done everything correctly, and place all of my attention on your furbabies for the time that I am in your home! BOARDING-- you are welcome to request boarding with me. These will be accepted on a case-by-case basis depending on how large your dog is, what their needs are, and the length of stay. I live in a spacious apartment with one high-energy cat who enjoys being around dogs. I also live adjacent to a park and the South Mountain Reservation, so you can expect your dog to get lots of exercise! HOUSESITTING— I also do housesitting during the summer! I cannot housesit during the school year as I work full-time (September-Late June).

About: "Having cared for both dogs and cats over many years, I've developed a deep understanding of pet behavior and individual needs. What sets me apart is my flexible, customized approach to each animal – I believe there's no such thing as a 'one-size-fits-all' when it comes to pet care. For dogs, I tailor each walk to match their energy level, age, and personality. Whether it's a playful puppy who needs training reinforcement during walks, an athletic adult who loves a good workout, or a senior who prefers gentle strolls, I adjust my pace and attention accordingly. I'm particularly skilled at: Reading pet body language and adapting to their comfort level Creating engaging walking routes that keep pets stimulated Maintaining consistent routines that pets thrive on Providing detailed updates after each visit Being flexible with scheduling to accommodate your needs Your pet's safety and happiness are my priorities, and I treat each animal in my care as if they were my own. Let me provide your furry family member with the personalized attention they deserve! I am working from home and my school very flexible during the day, evening or weekend. You can also drop the dog to my house I have a dog at my house if your dog needs company, I also have a big yard. I can stay at my client’s home too

About: I have a dog of my own that I got in late 2020. He was a rescue so he started out very shy and distrustful, now Frosty is bursting with energy and has fully come out of his shell. I have also pet sat for my grandmother’s dog and friend’s dogs in recent years. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) My current full time job is front desk at the Madison Hotel. I would need to give two weeks notice to get time off for long periods of pet care. I can fit shorter visits into my existing schedule most days, I work a variety of shifts, but most frequently 7am-3pm, so my afternoons and evenings are usually very open. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.

Alissa was fabulous! I was hesitant leaving my 8 month old puppy with anyone for a week since he is just a little guy, but Alissa made me feel so comfortable from the second I met her and watched her interact with my dog! She stayed at my house for a week, sent me daily updates, and even sent me multiple pictures a day! She was phenomenal and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She even gave me tips on what worked and what didn’t since my dog is a picky eater! I definitely recommend and will be using her again!! I not only trust her with my little love, but I trust her in my home!

Sheree graciously offered to care for my beloved pet, recognizing the difficulties I had previously faced when leaving my furry friend in a dog hotel during my absence. Upon learning of my situation, she went the extra mile and selflessly volunteered to watch over my pet at no cost. I provided her with detailed instructions, particularly regarding the administration of medication and the use of medicated shampoo during bath time. Sheree's compassion shines through in her interactions with my dog - she is both nurturing and playful, resulting in my dog wagging her tail joyfully whenever she sees Sheree. Moreover, Sheree maintains open lines of communication, regularly calling me to provide updates on my dog's well-being.

What I think makes Trey special is his ability to create a warm and welcoming environment for those who have the pleasure of coming into his space. His nurturing and caring nature often has a lasting positive impact which many find to be rare in our society today. Trey is extremely susceptibility to change, embracing every obstacle by always putting his best foot forward to create a positive environment. Trey’s rampant curiosity makes him one who is always willing to learn and strive for greatness in his work. His willingness to learn over the years has crafted a well-rounded young individual, an individual that is responsible, dependable, positive, strategic, personable, passionate, and ready for all that is placed in front of him.

Sydney is not only knowledgeable about pets and their behavior, but she is also responsible and dependable. Those are the qualities I look for in a pet sitter. I feel confident knowing she will be able to not only feed and walk my dog but also administer medications to him when needed. Sydney is also tuned into anything about my dog that she thinks I should be aware of. Above all, she has a true love of animals and is caring and loving toward them. I highly recommend Sydney!

I'm particularly skilled at: Reading pet body language and adapting to their comfort level Creating engaging walking routes that keep pets stimulated Maintaining consistent routines that pets thrive on Providing detailed updates after each visit Being flexible with scheduling to accommodate your needs Your pet's safety and happiness are my priorities, and I treat each animal in my care as if they were my own. Let me provide your furry family member with the personalized attention they deserve! I am working from home and my school very flexible during the day, evening or weekend. You can also drop the dog to my house I have a dog at my house if your dog needs company, I also have a big yard. I can stay at my client’s home too

About: I have a dog of my own that I got in late 2020. He was a rescue so he started out very shy and distrustful, now Frosty is bursting with energy and has fully come out of his shell. I have also pet sat for my grandmother’s dog and friend’s dogs in recent years. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) My current full time job is front desk at the Madison Hotel. I would need to give two weeks notice to get time off for long periods of pet care. I can fit shorter visits into my existing schedule most days, I work a variety of shifts, but most frequently 7am-3pm, so my afternoons and evenings are usually very open. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.

Alissa was fabulous! I was hesitant leaving my 8 month old puppy with anyone for a week since he is just a little guy, but Alissa made me feel so comfortable from the second I met her and watched her interact with my dog! She stayed at my house for a week, sent me daily updates, and even sent me multiple pictures a day! She was phenomenal and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She even gave me tips on what worked and what didn’t since my dog is a picky eater! I definitely recommend and will be using her again!! I not only trust her with my little love, but I trust her in my home!

Alissa was absolutely wonderful! Prior to our vacation she came over to meet our dog, Nola, for a meet and greet so Nola could get used to her. She even came early the day we left so that Nola had someone home with her when we left. During our vacation Alissa sent tons of photos and updates. We were even shocked to see photos of Nola laying with her as she normally hides upstairs when we aren’t there. The house was left immaculate and clean. She truly was so easy to work with and took amazing care of our dog. We highly recommend her and are looking forward to using her again.

Carlee was with Sputnik for almost a week and she was amazing with him. She kept us updated on his activities and sent pics of him throughout the week. She truly loves animals and we can see that in the way she takes care of our sweet Sputnik - she's great!!!

We truly cannot thank Natalie enough for taking such incredible care of our dog and our apartment during one of the most important times of our lives, our wedding and honeymoon! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease thanks to her all of her updates and the sweetest photo check-ins. It meant the world to us to know our dog was safe, happy, and so well loved while we were away. Biscotti looked completely relaxed and would cuddle up with her, which says everything. On top of that, our apartment was spotless when we got back, such a thoughtful touch that did not go unnoticed. Because of Natalie, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without a single worry and for that we’re beyond grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She’s truly the best! 🐾💛

Jen did a great job watching my dog. She is punctual and professional and followed all direction in regards to taking care of my senior dog. I felt very comfortable having her watch my Louie here in my home. Will definitely use her again :)
