Amanda and her family took amazing care of my dog, Rylie! I received daily updates with pictures and thoughtful details about how she was doing, which gave me such peace of mind, especially since this was my first time leaving Rylie with a sitter. From the moment I met Amanda and her family, I could tell they were wonderful people who would treat Rylie like their own. The photos showed Rylie having so much fun, getting plenty of cuddles, and receiving lots of attention. I’m so grateful for the care they gave her and will definitely be booking with them again!

We are incredibly thankful to Rajan for boarding our dog, Loki, for a little over two weeks. Loki was so well cared for and looked genuinely happy throughout her stay. She loved getting to play with other pups, which made the experience even better for her. Rajan is clearly an animal lover and treated Loki as if she were his own. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care and attention Rajan provided and would highly recommend him.

Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!

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!

About: COZY HOME BOARDING! 🐾 I work from home, so your pup will get lots of outdoor breaks (I need the fresh air just as much as them!) and can promise they will never be alone. I am super neat and can ensure that your pet is in a safe enviroment. Growing up with two pups (who lived to the ages of 11 and 18), I especially know how to give extra love to your senior! I’m WFH full time. Along with frequent outdoor breaks, I’ll continue routines you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I have a hazard-free home for our young pups and experience with senior pups (diapers, pads, extra TLC)! I’m ready to take any dog strollers out if necessary.

Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.

Bydette and her family are amazing with Kobe. They treat him like a member of the family and it shows as Kobe loves to hang out with Bydette and her family. He is always excited to see them and runs up the stairs when he sees Bydette. They are a very sweet and wonderful family and I'm so happy that we have found them. When you leave a member of your family with someone else, you always worry that they are ok and that they are enjoying their time when they are away from you. With Bydette and her family, there's no need to be worried as they will treat your pet as their family member and will show them the same love and attention that you do.

My dogs had another wonderful stay with Lucas & Katherine, this time for two weeks. In fact my senior gal liked it there so much that she almost didn’t want to come back with me. I think for a pet parent that best and most positive sign that their furbabies were well cared for!!! They sent me lots of photos of my dogs snuggled under blankets or enjoying outdoor times! L & K are the best people and I feel like I can travel with so much less worry and guilt when my dogs are with them.

Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.

I had to find a reliable sitter for my diabetic fur baby who had only previously been taken care of family members and were uncomfortable giving injections to him. So when I had the opportunity to go out of the country for a vacation, I researched sitters and came across Vanessa (and Kayla) - We had a meet and greet a couple of weeks before to see how my pup would be around them and he seemed comfortable with them and they as well. However, no sooner after I dropped him off to head off on my vacation, he started to have some problems. Vanessa and Kayla went above and beyond to make him comfortable as he was stressed and that probably made his diabetes act up. With frequent contact we all managed to adjust his dose of insulin which solved the issue and by report had no further issues after the first 2 days. Vanessa and Kayla gave me daily "pup-dates" with pictures while I was away which greatly put my mind at ease so I could really enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Vanessa (and Kayla) to care for your fur babies especially if you need to have someone comfortable giving injections and pills. Will definitely use them again

Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.

Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.

Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!

Our second stay with Dawn!! Dawn is just beyond lovely and her home exudes calm positive energy -and Betty picked right up on it and acclimated immediately. (Our previous day with Dawn was with our other dog who passed ❤️). Dawn provided wonderful updates throughout Betty’s stay - lots of pics and videos… she’s an animal lover at heart and made Betty’s stay seamless. One of the biggest signs of a successful trip is that Betty did not miss one meal! Meal skipping is a frequent occurrence when she is separated from us. Thank you Dawn!!! :)
