Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.

A+ Kind, attentive, communicative, flexible. The photo of our dog Charlie sprawled out in front of the fireplace within an hour of us dropping him off says it all. He feels safe, secure, relaxed, and loved. Tynesha has become Charlie’s resort vacation destination anytime we go away.

I had such an amazing experience with Diana & Harish. Mimi was not sure to be away from home and I asked to do meet up prior to her appointment. The meet and greet went well. Mimi was very comfortable. I knew when she went and sat by Diana, it was a no brainer! Diana kept me well informed and provided updates. I knew I made the right decision. Mimi thoroughly enjoyed the attention and the love. Hands down, I would definitely book again!

Stacia was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Cody! From the very moment we did the meet and greet, we felt confident he was in caring and capable hands. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, sent pictures, and made sure Cody maintain his routine, stayed happy, comfortable, and well-loved. It’s clear she treats pets like family. From the pictures she shared Cody seemed comfortable as he was home with his own family. Cody came home content, and full of joy—which says everything! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be booking with Stacia again. We highly recommend Stacia to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter! She is top-tier🐶💛

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.

Nicholas is awesome and always has been! The amount of excitement my dogs go through as we approach is house is just hilarious. Nicholas stays in touch through out the visit and always sends nice pictures and videos of the dogs out in the wild. It’s just amazing and I’m so glad my dogs get to go on lots off adventure walks, which by the way I would never be able to do.

Jessica makes everything super easy and is very communicative. I received daily photos and texts. I’m generally nervous about boarding stays but not anymore! We will be booking with Jessica again!

Our 8 year old Poodle Opal did so well at Connors home. Connor has a incredibly calm demeanor and his home is the same. He put us at ease as we were nervous for Opal. She is a rescue mama from the amish country and is quite attached to us. Connors videos and beautiful pictures were a delight. Connor’s dog helped Opal come out of her shell as well. We will definitely board with Connor again!

If I could give Rosario more than five stars, I absolutely would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. My dog Luna loves Rosario and gets genuinely excited every time she stays at her home, which tells me everything I need to know. Rosario goes above and beyond in every possible way: she’s incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and keeps me constantly updated with Luna’s meals, activities, and the most adorable, professional quality photos (seriously, frame worthy). Her home is spacious, perfectly suited for dogs, and the large backyard is a dream for pups to run and play. Rosario is clearly a neighborhood favorite, and it’s easy to see why, she treats Luna like her own. I have complete peace of mind every time I leave Luna with her, and I honestly think Luna would move in if she could. We can’t wait to book with Rosario again!

I’m usually very nervous about leaving Benji, he’s wary of strangers and takes a long time to warm up. That’s why I was genuinely surprised at how quickly he trusted Akshay. While I was away, Akshay was consistently responsive and communicative, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also extremely flexible and worked with me on dropoff/ pickup, which made everything easier. It’s obvious he truly cares about animals and has a lot of empathy; Sirus’s excellent manners are a reflection of that. When Benji got injured, it was heartwarming to see how much Akshay truly cared. He continued to check in even weeks after the booking ended to see how he was doing. I find it difficult to find people with his level of transparency who build a lot of trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.

This was Milo’s second stay with Jullien, and he once again provided excellent care for him. Jullien kept us updated every day and sent us pics of Milo’s adventures, and he was once again very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We are so happy that we found Jullien. It’s so reassuring to know that your pet will be comfortable and happy while you’re away. +++++++++

Tynesha and her family were amazing with our two pups. We were so comfortable leaving them with such a loving and caring family. If you want peace of mind for your fur babies when you go away, Tynesha and her family should be your first choice! We came home to two very happy pups who you could tell enjoyed their stay.

I highly recommend Briana. She took care of my 8 month old cavapoo puppy Ginger while my family was out of the country. She was professional, sent pictures and was always responsive. She cared about Gingers routine and was open to incorporating information provided. Ginger was happy in the pictures sent and adjusted appropriately for what was expected for her age/circumstance. Drop off and pick up was seamless. Gingers personal items were clean and well organized when I picked her up. I would definitely reach out to Brianna again if I needed someone to watch Ginger while I was away in the future.

Erika took excellent care of my foster dog Petals, while I was away for the weekend. She’s a very nervous dog and can be a little apprehensive when meeting new people but she was instantly right at home. She was never alone & was treated like a member of the family. I would book her again and again (and for my resident dog too!) thank you Erika!
