She treated our cats like they were her own—playing with them, interacting daily, and making sure they felt loved and cared for. We received detailed updates and adorable daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her service was worth every penny, and we’ll absolutely be reaching out to Rover and Kathryn again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”

About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.
“It’s great when you know your cats will be in great hands. They took such great care of my cats and made sure I got updates. Cats can be finicky so glad they were taken care of well, and I could enjoy my vacation.”
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“This woman is wonderful. Very thorough with all communication while she works with your pet. Trust her immensely with my pets, my property etc. She gets everything done, and goes over and above.”
“Alex did an excellent job; really went above and beyond my expectations!!! Always sent cute pics of the cats and spent a lot of time with them. Based on the pics, I could tell the cats really bonded with Alex…5 stars for sure!”
About: As a professional dog trainer, I have a deep understanding of canine body language and behavior, allowing me to tailor your dog’s stay to their unique personality and needs. Whether they love playtime, prefer quiet snuggles, or need extra structure, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Every dog is different, and I customize my care to what works best for them! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My life revolves around dogs 24/7, with most of my work consisting of Zoom meetings and training sessions. If I do leave, it’s only for 1-2 hours max—but even then, I have a live video camera set up so I can keep an eye on your pup. It even lets me talk to them and dispense treats! Whether they need playtime, enrichment, or a cozy spot to relax, they’ll always have the care and attention they deserve. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. Whether they love to play, relax, or enjoy the outdoors, I adjust their stay to what makes them happiest. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • Dog-Friendly Lake Access – I live on a dog-friendly lake, and during the warmer months, I can even take your pup swimming if that’s something they enjoy! • Constant Companionship – I work from home, so they’re rarely alone. • Live Video Monitoring – If I step out for a short time (1-2 hours max), I have a camera that lets me check in, talk to them, and even give treats. • Crate-Free Environment – Your dog can enjoy their stay without the need for a crate, as I have a dog-proofed home that keeps them safe while preventing them from getting into anything they shouldn’t. • Personalized Care – I understand canine body language and behavior, ensuring their routine fits their personality and comfort level. • Daily Enrichment – Playtime, mental stimulation, and structured activities to keep them engaged. • Cozy & Safe Environment – Whether they prefer a quiet nap spot or an active day, I create a space where they feel at home. Every dog is different, and I make sure their stay is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for fifty years. I have loads of experience with leash training, walking and playing, special pet diet restrictions, and administration of medications. I can do yard poop cleanups and litter box cleaning. I also have experience with chickens and goats! Early morning hours are never a problem, and my schedule is usually quite flexible. I am always happy to send texts and photos to let you know how your pet(s) are doing. I live in Stillwater New jersey with my girlfriend, Dee, and our 3 dogs, 2 cats, 4 chickens, and 7pond fish. I will, of course, tailor my services to your specific needs. After spending 3 decades in a fast-paced food manufacturing business, working with my furry friends has become my new passion. I look forward to serving you.

Elizabeth S.
“When you have a new puppy, trusting an unfamiliar person or service can feel overwhelming. We were lucky to have found Liz to tend to Milo for doggy daycare 4 days a week. Not only did Liz take care of him, but Liz and her dogs helped Milo become more social and build confidence. What sets Liz apart is her genuine love for animals and her professionalism. Liz always puts the dogs' well-being first, and if anything ever affects our schedule, Liz communicates clearly and with plenty of notice. Liz is incredibly reliable, consistent, and trustworthy. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own, and give you real peace of mind I highly recommend reaching out to Liz.”
Richard P.
“Rick just has a way with animals. It's clear he loves them deeply, and they seem to be drawn to him as well. He has cared for many animals over the years, including his own pets as well as the pets of friends and family. When I've left my pets with him while on vacation, I was able to leave with no lingering worries. There was none of the usual wondering if they were really comfortable or happy - I knew they were. Rick's adaptable personality makes him just as comfortable around grumpy senior dogs as he is around, say, a golden retriever puppy. I've never seen a dog that wasn't happy to see him. Decades of being a loving dog owner have taught Rick what to look out for in mischievous pups and when it's time for a walk - it seems he is well versed in their language. Rick is a kind human and a caring dog lover, and asking him to care for my pets is a no brainer!”
