Alexandra was very professional and very caring for my dog. He’s a bit reactive and scared sometimes but he warmed up well to Alex. She also sent updates when I asked and sent updates when I didn’t. I would definitely hire her again

Lakshmi was fantastic with our high-maintenance, special-needs dog. This was our first time leaving him since moving to NJ, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lakshmi provided frequent check-ins, thoughtful updates, and plenty of photos. Her attentiveness and professionalism gave us complete confidence that our dog was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Lakshmi to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

This was our second time having Dona watch my dog, Lola, in our home and all went well! Dona is very friendly and respectful and Lola was happy and safe when we returned home :) We received pupdates throughout our time away and could tell Lola went on all sorts of activities and places.

Kendall did a great job watching our puppy Gobi! Our guy has separation anxiety and can't be alone for now so it always a relief to find someone trustworthy to watch him while we work. Kendall was prompt and took great care of him on a day he had an upset tummy. Would definitely hire Kendall again to watch our dog! Thank you so much!!

About: I provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. I have experience caring for a cat for 17 years and a Maltese for 2 years, so I understand both long-term care and daily pet needs. I’m calm, patient, and good with all temperaments, and I follow routines carefully to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer availability seven days a week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. My flexible schedule enables me to provide dependable care, consistent routines, and personalized attention to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability and scheduling. My focus is to keep pets comfortable and secure by maintaining their normal routine in their own home while carefully following all care instructions, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and playtime. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

Thank you so much for being so incredible. I came back to an apt that was more tidy than the one I left, and my pups looked happy / content. It was my first time having someone come over to care for them, and I probably overdid it with instructions, but Elizabeth took it all in stride, and was quite the sweetheart. Can’t recommend enough. Until next time!!!

I can’t find a sitter that I will trust more than Junyi! He is very communicative and you will feel very rest assured that your dog is in the best hand. My dog can be quite energetic and sometimes too much but Junyi is always so patient with Loki. He’s definitely both me and Loki’s favorite sitter of all time!

Jose took care of my dog, Yogi, for three days and stayed at my home while I was away. He was very responsive throughout the entire stay and consistently kept me updated with photos and messages from Yogi’s morning and evening walks. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Yogi was being well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and Yogi was happy and comfortable when I returned. I really appreciated Jose’s communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Leigh was amazing with our corgi, Rigatoni! We were in a bind with finding someone on short notice and Leigh stepped in with some options for us. She came over to meet us and quickly bonded with him! Throughout her 3 days, she was super communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. Rigatoni loved spending time with her in the comfort of our apartment and going on his daily walks. We cannot wait to have Leigh come and watch Rigatoni again. Thanks, Leigh!

Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!

Amanda was such a great help during our latest trip. We have a senior dog and she really took good care of him. Unfortunately he had to go to the emergency vet two times late at night and Amanda never questioned taking him. She stayed with him for multiple hours at the vet and was such a great help. Thanks!

We could not have had a better experience tan what we had with Mariah. She made sure our dog was safe, happy, and doted on. Our old lady has a couple of medicine routines and Mariah remained firmly on top of them. We got numerous updates with a happy, smiling bulldog. When we came back our place was perfectly kept and our dog was already missing her!

Astrid was an amazing sitter! We were nervous about leaving our puppy for the first time, especially for a vacation that was over a week long, but as soon as we met her, we knew both Pierogi and we were in great hands. She was incredibly communicative, sending us daily updates along with lots of photos and videos of our boy. Astrid was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond by even helping set up a dog playdate with our next-door neighbor. She also left our home spotless!! We feel so lucky to have found someone like Astrid and have already booked her again for a future stay. Don’t hesitate to book with her you won’t regret it!
