“John was such a great boarder for our Simon! We received regular updates along with photos during the 10 days we were gone. We could tell Simon had a great time and was sad to be leaving John when we picked him up. We'll definitely be using him again!”
“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”
“Kathy was so incredible; very easy to work with, very communicative, flexible with logistics, and completely great with my dog, who very clearly loved his time with her. She's a warm and easy person to work with, seems to have a natural touch with animals, and I definitely plan to use her again!”
“Sarah and Danny treated Charlie Wonderfully. She is a shy girl and they were really good with her. They even got her to eat all her food. I will definitely use them again.”
“It’s so sweet and comforting to see how Ryan and Jefra treat Buttercup like their own. This was the first time I’ve left him with a sitter for so long (two weeks) and he got special treats, snuggles, and playtime in their hallway while it stormed in New York. I got updates anytime I asked, and as usual Jefra took stunning pictures of him that are hard to believe are just iphone photos! Anytime we come by with him they’re friendly, and easy to talk to as well. Would highly recommend.”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”
“Eleanor was amazing! She treated Mango like her own and was incredibly easy to communicate with. He had a wonderful stay at her apartment. Would absolutely recommend.”

Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, she made the whole experience so easy and gave us one less thing to worry about while we were away. She was great with communication, always keeping us updated with messages and photos of Grizzly, which really meant a lot to us. What I appreciated most was how understanding and accommodating she was with our hectic schedule, especially when we had to deal with flight delays. She was incredibly flexible and made a stressful travel situation that much easier. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but knowing Grizzly was in good hands gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our family vacation. We’re truly grateful for Amanda’s kindness, patience, and care. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Grizzly again. Highly recommend!
Doosung was an excellent dog sitter! He gave plenty of communication and photo updates while my dog was boarding with him, and took my dog on walks or trips to the dog park every day. Doosung's frequent and regular communication was very comforting, and I could tell he really cares.
It seems like Becky had a great time with Devon and Devin! I appreciated how flexible they were with the drop off and pick up time. Becky always looked very comfortable and at ease in all of the photos that were shared with me. Will definitely use them again in the future when I need a sitter!
Steven is officially our puppy’s favorite sitter! 🐶❤️ He took such amazing care of Burrito over the weekend, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Burrito was so happy, comfortable, and well looked after throughout his stay, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Steven was so thoughtful and attentive, and we really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures he sent us. It was lovely to see Burrito having such a great time and getting so much love and attention! We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little one. It’s not always easy leaving your puppy with someone else, but Steven made the whole experience stress-free and gave us complete peace of mind. We would absolutely book with him again. Thank you so much, Steven, for taking such great care of our Burrito! 🐾💕
Ameen is seriously the absolute best! He’s my go-to sitter for Saki, and I couldn’t recommend him more! He always goes above and beyond, taking Saki on fun adventures to dog beaches, parks, and everywhere in between. It’s so nice knowing Saki is not only being well taken care of but also having the best time while I’m away. I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences with Ameen, and he will always be my first call whenever I’m planning a trip. Saki absolutely loves him, which says it all! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Union City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Union City.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
