Anthony is very punctual, polite and handles my dog with confidence and experience which makes me feel comfortable. My dog is large and can be a challenge but it does not intimidate Anthony. I would definitely recommend him.

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!

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.

Alissa was fantastic. We encountered a very difficult situation where our flights were canceled and we needed assistance with our little one who requires medicine. Alissa came through and took wonderful care of him. He was fed, loved and looked like he had a great time with her. Highly recommend!

About: I grew up with dogs and loved looking after neighborhood pets as well including cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, chickens, rabbits, lizards and turtles. When I was little, I used to save earthworms after rainstorms by moving them gently from the road back onto the grass, so I am a lifelong animal lover who followed that passion to college to study wildlife biology. I volunteered at wildlife rehabilitation hospitals during that time, learning how to care for and administer medications to young and recovering animals. I’m a diligent caregiver, and pet willing, I’d love to play with them as well as tending to their basic needs. :) I’m currently working from home part-time, so my schedule is flexible. If your pets have a routine they stick to, I can ensure that continuity until you return! I am great at following directions you’ve left or walked me through. I’ll also ask you about their personalities in case they have any erratic tendencies like intense zoomies so I can let you know if they are behaving normally. With neighbors in the past, I have played with their pups/kitties/birdies or brought a book to keep their pets company at their place for an hour or so after taking care of their basic needs.

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.

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!

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 🐾

About: My partner and I have been dog sitting for five years. Prior to that, we both grew up with family dogs and are very familiar and comfortable with a wide variety of dogs and breeds. We are incredibly enthusiastic, loving, and kind towards all animals. A stay with us if fun for your pet and for us! We love going on walks, and we live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex/neighborhood. We hope you’ll have your furry friend come stay with us! I am dog-sitting full time and my wife, Kayla, works remotely from home most days. Together we give your dogs the utmost care and attention. Attentiveness is the most important thing for us when with pets. In our home, we make sure that we can see the dog playing at all times. We put items away that are not dog-friendly, and we clear out space for playing and downtime. On walks, we are always attentive to the dog and how they behave and interact with other people, dogs and other animals in the neighborhood. A stay with us is always fun for the dog, but we like to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for. We also value communication. You putting your pet in our care while you are away, and we understand the trust that it takes to leave a member of your family with us. We give as many updates as you’d like via messenger and numerous photos or videos throughout the day. We are always reachable and willing to let you know how your dog’s stay is going. I’m currently working remotely. I tutor part-time from home, but I’m almost always home and I make pet sitting a priority. I used to be a teaching assistant, so I am very reliable and used to being responsible for others’ loved ones. I live in a very safe apartment complex. The buildings look like town homes, it is away from the main roads, and the complex Is pet friendly with lots of grass areas for your little guy or girl to do their business. It’s a wonderful welcoming community. I have my own entrance to my apartment and all the dogs in the community are wonderful.

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: 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 am a lifelong resident of the area and have been a pet care provider for 4 years, both at home, for neighbors, and as an animal shelter volunteer. I'm familiar working with both puppies and senior dogs. I am most comfortable with small to mid-size dogs and can help with reinforcing training. I'm excited to be a friendly and caring presence in your dog's life and provide them with food, exercise, and company when you are out of the house! I'm looking for part-time work and my schedule is flexible, so I'm available on short notice. I'm available during working hours and nighttime any day of the week. I try to keep to a dog's usual routine when it comes to meals and being let outside. I also try to keep them stimulated as much as they are willing or able to be.

Kendall saved our plans after our usual sitter flaked out at the last minute. She came by the day before to meet the dogs with pretty much no notice. One of our puppies is very high energy and I could tell that he'd been run around enough while we were gone. She was very communicative and kept us updated all day. I'm sure we'll be using her again!

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!
