“Sam is always on time, communicative, and ready to interact with Boss whether it is an attempted walk in this current heat, play time in the backyard, lick mat moments, or lots of pets & cuddles. We appreciate the love she gives Boss when we’re out for an extended period!”
“Eleni is very caring and attentive to my dog's needs. It is reassuring to know she pays attention to the details. Eleni makes sure my dog is fed and goes on a nice long walk. Afterwards she spends time in the house with her turning on calming music before she leaves. She definitely has my dog's best interests at heart. Eleni is reliable and a great asset to have. We'll be using her again for sure.”

“Victoria was so helpful and amazing with my teenage kitty. She sent so many fun pictures and it was clear that Cleo enjoyed having her around. Definitely snagging her for any time I go out of town! Thank you Victoria!!!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets for people since I was in high school. I grew up with dogs and all kinds of different animals. I currently walk some dogs during the week, looking to add some more . I am available for walks and drop ins weekdays from 10:30am-3:00pm I am experienced in giving different medication (pills and insulin). I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also know how to use different walking tools( prong collars, harnesses, gentle leaders)
About: Hi, I’m Jill! For years, I’ve been a devoted companion to animals of all kinds - cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and even an axolotl! As a lifelong pet owner, experienced pet sitter, and dog walker, I understand each pet needs personalized care and attention. Whether it’s a puppy or kitten who needs extra engagement or a senior pet who thrives on gentle company, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes post-surgery care, as well as oral and injectable medications - all done with a gentle touch and followed up with lots of love and cuddles. Animals have always been part of my life, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide care for your pet. I pride myself on creating a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe, secure, and happy. As a full-time school employee, I have early morning and after school availability. In addition, my weekends are flexible. Due to occasional after school meetings, my schedule would need to have a window of one to two hours in which to complete visits. I do not offer pet care in my own home, rather I am looking for the opportunity to visit a pet's home and care for them there.
“Alissa was awesome! I needed someone very last minute and she was very responsive and jumped on the request right away. She spent time with my dog and made us all feel comfortable.”
“Barbara did a great job looking after our cat while we were away, certainly gave us peace of mind even though he kept eluding her! She even came out during a snow storm!”

About: I have been a dog owner since childhood and my heart goes out for these mushy fur babies.Fun fact - I happen to remember pet’s name VC the parents names 😄 I work from home and have very flexible working hours to make sure that I have all the attention needed for my pets. I am available on weekends and weekdays 24* 7. I have a safe pet friendly apartment and a teenage daughter to keep your pet busy playing all day with complete care and attention.🥰.

About: I've lived with dogs my whole life and have a bunch of dog friends that I love saying hello to on my walks. I am often trusted to watch or walk dogs by family members and friends. I have been told that I am very good with dogs, and I love them all the same, I love saying hi to dogs on my walks and I often go to my mother's house to help take care of our Beagle. Dogs are my happy place and I live being around them! On days when it is raining out and we can't walk outside as much as we'd like I like to play with the dogs inside the house for a bit to help get out the extra energy, it's a lot of fun!
About: I care for animals the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, warmth, and quiet understanding. Every pet is different. I listen. And they appreciate it. Former local mom, new empty nester, and an avid world traveller...I have a lot of flexibility, as long as we are in the same time zone. I offer house sitting and pet sitting in your home where your animals feel safest. For the past two decades, I’ve lived in Summit, NJ, raising two kids in the local school system and working closely with families and children in town. I’m reliable, respectful, and used to being trusted with what matters most.
