“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”
“Amanda and her family were amazing with Hudson. He seemed to have a great time and we would def love use her again when we are in the NJ area. She sent updates with pictures/videos every day which was very nice. Thank you so much Amanda!!”
“Darien and her family took amazing care of my pup and we are so grateful. We will absolutely be back! She worked with me for a pre meet and greet for myself and my pup. She got my dog to be more comfortable with her food and her surroundings in a new place with ease.”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”
“First time Rover doggy parent and she made me feel very comfortable offered video call and pictures. Once I arrived very welcoming and made me feel safe with leaving him. Provided pictured of them all playing and sleeping and gave normal updates (he stayed over night)”

“Marcy was the best at taking care of my dog when I was out of the state, She is professional and showed love for our dog baby. My Jordan has not been in better hands.. 100 % percent recommend..”
“This is my first time using a dog sitter and I was very impressed with the quality of care and attention provided by Ninoska for my little one. Shes truly a GEM... I appreciate the fact that she sent me videos to update me during my puppy's stay.....nice touch.. I would definitely recommend Ninoska to anyone who is looking for a professional and friendly dog sitter.”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“What an amazing dog sitter. She was very attentive to our 15 year old dog that is blind. She was able to watch him for over 2 weeks and we got daily updates. She put our minds at ease and I would highly recommend.”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“Caitlin watched our Shih Tzu, Brooklyn, for 3 days and 2 nights, and we truly could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate person to trust with her. From the moment we met Caitlin, we could immediately tell how deeply she cares for animals, especially dogs. Throughout Brooklyn’s stay, Caitlin constantly kept us updated with endless pictures and thoughtful messages that gave us so much peace of mind. We always felt confident knowing Brooklyn was being loved, cared for, and given the patience and attention she needed. After recently losing her sister of 13 years, Brooklyn has struggled emotionally and requires extra patience and understanding because of both her grief and old age. Caitlin handled her with so much kindness, gentleness, and reassurance. Hearing about her experience rescuing her own dog and fostering others made it clear that caring for animals is truly part of who she is. We are beyond grateful for the love and comfort Caitlin gave Brooklyn during her stay. She treated her like family, and that means everything to us. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pets as if they were her own.”
“My dog loved staying with Maryn and her dog Peri- She spent hours soaking up the sun on her deck and big fenced in yard- Maryn keep me updated all day long with pictures and quick texts. I would recommend her 110% and we will be back!”
“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“The first time I left my dog with someone else… Tracy went above and beyond. She was flexible and communicative. I never felt like my dog was in better hands. I actually think he’s sad to be home. Tracy was amazing.”
“The feedback I received from Paloma was great. The start of the scheduled pickup time was a little nerve racking, I scheduled a 8:00 PM pickup and no response until after 12:00 AM. My daughter said I was scammed and that was my biggest fear, but when I received the text message from Paloma I felt a little better and she reduced the fee. She picked Juicey up and I really felt better she would be cared for while I was away. Thank you for the care for my fur baby”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.

Maryn and Steven took such good care of Bo! They went above and beyond caring for him since he was have some digestive issues that popped up. Maryn has lots of patience and her care reassured me he was in good hands. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend Maryn!
Max had a wonderful stay with Tracy and Steven! They took excellent care of my Boston Terrier and sent me loads of photos and videos throughout his stay. It was so reassuring to see him happy, relaxed, and well looked after. They were fantastic to deal with — very responsive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Max came home happy and tired in the best way. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!
I can't say enough great things about Marcy! This was Ivy’s first time staying with her, and from the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Marcy sent pictures regularly — without me even having to ask — and kept me updated the whole time. It was so reassuring to see him happy and comfortable. Her family is absolutely wonderful. The kids were so sweet with Ivy, and he even got to sleep in bed with one of them. It honestly melted my heart! You could tell he was treated like part of the family, not just a guest. I'm so grateful to have found Marcy. If you're looking for someone who will love your pup like their own, look no further. We'll definitely be back!!!

Kora was beyond well cared for with Valerie, I could not have been happier she was available. Valerie asked all the right questions to understand Kora and her needs and made her very comfortable. From the 1st pic 2 hours after drop off I could see how comfortable and happy she was. Valerie's communication was great before and during the stay, it's clear she loves animals. If Valerie is available do not hesitate to book her, made me feel comfortable quickly that Kora would be cared for well
Karin was a super sitter for our mini schnauzer, Colby. She kept us updated with photos and reports. Karin reassured us that Colby was eating well and had a good relationship with her dog, Roxie. She followed all our requests for Colby’s care and communicated any concerns she had. We would definitely use Karin again to watch Colby.
Karen was amazing with our dog! She sent us updates and pictures as much as we wanted! She was great at communicating, texting back fast, and was just very sweet overall! I could enjoy my tome away while knowing benny was having a great time as well. Benny was very well taken care of and he acted as if he just came back from vacation too when we picked him up! Definitely would recommend her! Would give her 10 starts if i could, and will be using her services again!
Colby had a great experience staying with Stacy. We received many updates and photos which helped us see how content he was. Her mom visited regularly to spend time with our dog as well. Stacy maintained his diet carefully and took him for walks in the cold and snow. He will definitely be staying with Stacy again.
