“Would recommend Jesse as a sitter for ANYONE needing one. This family will go out of their way to ensure your beloved four legged family member is happy, healthy, safe, and loved while in their care. Jesse’s attention to detail dispensing medication is stellar!! She treats my 13 year old doodle pup like one of her children. She went above and beyond to ensure I was fully informed and comfortable during the first few visits, which was a total godsend for this fur-mama. She even sends wonderful happy images frequently while my pup is in her care. I’ve NEVER been concerned about my baby while she’s in Jesse’s care. I truly can not say enough wonderful things about Jesse and her family.”

“I told Christine that I had an issue with Benny marking and she had a solution. She is regimented and very thoughtful. Benny also received a grooming from Christine because she happens to also be a 12 year veteran groomer! In addition to his training while he was at Christine’s home he came back clean and happy! She sent photos that reminded me of homeward bound when Benny went in the yard with the other dog friends. Christine is a compassionate woman and has a loving and safe home for the pups. 1000% rebooking.”
“Charlayda is a great sitter. When I first mat with her I got a good vibe from her. I knew right at that moment I had made the right decision for her to watch my baby Ms. V. Layda took great care of Ms. V and she took lots of photos! I would definitely have her watch her again!”
“This was the first time I’ve used a Rover to care for my dog Oaklie. Brenda, the rover, was absolutely fantastic. She took fabulous care of Oaklie taking him on walks, playing with him and cuddling with him. He really enjoyed her fenced in yard as well. He also got along very nicely with her dog and her daughter. She kept me informed of how Oaklie was doing each day. She sent me numerous pictures and I could see how happy he was. Brenda was very trustworthy with him and took great care of him. I am definitely using her again.”
“Outstanding care and attention provided by Sanja to my Chico and Gracie. She provided daily updates with photos. My dogs were not stressed out when I picked them up. They had lots of interaction with Sanja and her family as well as other dogs. I plan on utilizing her services in the future. Five stars.”
“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“Elijah is super pleasant and communicated with us throughout our dog’s stay with him. He was very patient and accommodating. We will definitely book with him again.”
“She took Legend at a last minute request with no issues. She kept me updated with messages and photos. Legend was good with her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. From the very beginning, she was extremely kind, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time he was with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Emma made it effortless with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and accommodating to watch your pet, Emma is absolutely a 10/10. I will 100% be booking with her again!”

We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”

“Stormee has been absolutely wonderful. We had an issue (that was totally our fault) with our “smart” door lock, but she was so great about communicating with us to resolve it. She was extremely patient and understanding, and able to work with us to solve the problem. She’s been great with our pets (five cats!), and it’s clear she genuinely cares about their well-being. We strongly recommend her for your pets!”
“Kimberly walked into a difficult first time situation to manage my brother's pet cat's improperly maintained litter box. My brother is in assisted living,(Florida) and does have cognitive issues. He, by mistake discarded the scooper. Kimberly was in her rights to quit right there. Instead she informed me of the problems and opted to try one more visit. I, (NJ), saw to it to provide items needed. Who could ask for a better second chance. Kimberly is most definitely a caring professional. Hopefully it goes better going forward. I am prepared to at some point look to get Nicholas (the cat), adopted, but for now I thank Kimberly for her great efforts.”
“Sara is reliable. She has quickly earned the trust of my two shy, elderly cats. They used to hide when a sitter came to feed them. With Sara, they have started joining her in the kitchen as she fills their bowls with food! Since we started using her, I do not worry as much when we are away!”
“We have had Wendy take care of our cat many times over the past 2 years and we couldn't be happier with her! Wendy is excellent. She takes great care of Lyra. She is very dependable. We are so grateful to have her.”

About: Hi! I’m Christine, a professional pet care specialist with over 15 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and small animals. In my early 20s I worked as a vet tech until I opened my own pet grooming salon. I operated that salon for 12 years before transitioning careers. My background includes professional grooming, animal handling, pet behavior, and pet first aid. I provide dependable, compassionate care and understand that every pet has unique needs. I hold certifications in pet CPR & First Aid. In 2025 I received certification in feline safety through the Intellectual Groomers Association. My current work-from-home position provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left unattended and receive consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to maintain the routine they’re accustomed to so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner.
“Tyler was SO great. She sent updates throughout the day and was so sweet towards my pup, Ted! He had such a good time with the other pups that were there and he came back happy and TIRED. Thank you Tyler, for being so accommodating and caring. Ted will definitely be back! ❤️🐶”

“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”
“My doggy had a wonderful time with Charlayda, and it was so nice to hear from her every now and then! My dog isn’t used to sitter situations so we’re both so happy that he could have a good first experience with Charlayda and all her doggo’s she cares for! Very happpy with her service and communication”
“Wendy was very good with communication before and during my pup’s visit with her. She sent pictures while he was in her care and he seemed to have a fantastic time with her. My boy has a lot of energy and he was ready for rest after we got home, so I know she spent time playing with him❤️”

“Nora and Marco have watched my dog Irwin approximately 60 times and do so on a recurring basis due to my work. They are extremely communicative, very kind, and they put up with my wild dog! Their dog Hera is also super sweet and a great dog friend for Irwin. He gets excited in the car on our way thru and always comes home tired from a full day. I receive photos and videos throughout the day of the dogs sleeping and playing. I am Extremely glad I found Nora and Marco and recommend anyone in the beaches area to use them for sitting and daycare.”

She provided me pictures of him enjoying his stay. When I return to this area I will definitely bring my Fudge to Millie instead of boarding him at home now that I know he has a safe, clean and comfortable home to stay in. I recommend Millie 100%!”
“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”

“Kimberly is great with my animals! She follows all care instructions. She is very responsive. She has sat for me when I needed a last minute care for my dog. My normally very shy cat likes her.

About: I’ve cared for a few different types of animals, including cats (especially elderly), small dogs, hamsters, bunnies and reptiles. I’m very comfortable with taking care of these types of animals! I am currently a full time student with internship, I am not working so I have a lot of free time to care for pets, especially at night. I will care for pets however the client prefers their pet to be cared for. Every pet is different and has different needs, I will do my best to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.
“Scott was Pierogi's dog walker for almost a year and did an excellent job every time. Very trustworthy and thorough and you can tell he cares. He's a true professional and if I weren't moving to NJ I'm sure he would be my dog walker for much longer. Highly recommend.”

About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.
