Highly-rated overnight sitters - Budd Lake
“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“We recently used Rover while we were away on vacation and couldn’t have been more pleased with the care our puppy, Bentley, received. Alejandra kept us updated every single day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bentley seemed to have an amazing time playing with Cora and Lexi! At first, he wasn’t eating very well, and Alejandra reached out to ask if it would be okay to give him some shredded cheese to encourage him to eat. After that, he started eating again, and it truly made us feel at ease knowing how attentive and caring she was. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Bentley and went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. We are so grateful to have found Alejandra and absolutely look forward to leaving Bentley in her care again in the future!”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“Estee was boarded with Trista for 8 nights. Trista was responsive to my enqiries and sent me pictures when requested. Estee seemed happy to have been there. I would trust Trista with Estee's care if I have to go away again.”
“Christina was AMAZING! Our dog Rhodey had such a great time and she took care of him very well. We had boarded him for 5 days and he got so much love & cuddles during that time. She was a pleasure to communicate with, always responding quickly and providing details when needed. She even sent him home with a little gift! She's so sweet and kind, I would highly recommend her for any pet related service!! Was a true pleasure and will definitely hire her again :)”
“Can’t say enough about how incredible Vanessa is! Not only did our Fiona love her and feel right at home with her, but she also gave extra caution and care to our pup. She had all the necessities handy and is super organized. Her place is wonderful and homey! She was super flexible when our flight arrived extremely late and is just all around the PERFECT babysitter! I will never go anywhere else!!”
“We were nervous about leaving our anxious, 2yr. old Bernadoodle, Rosie, with strangers, but Yanni's responsiveness and friendly nature put us at ease. Her home looked clean and well maintained. Throughout our weekend away, Yanni sent us updates with adorable photos, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands. We appreciated that she was taken on several walks. While Rosie is not playful with other dogs and prefers humans, I'm glad that she had some time with Yanni's dogs. We would not hesitate to send Rosie there again, and we're grateful she has a place to go!”
“I had an amazing experience with Alaine as my dog sitter. She was highly responsive, providing daily photos and a detailed "report card" summarizing Brizo's activities and well-being during the four-night stay. Alaine took exceptional care of Brizo, and her own dog, Pasta, was a wonderful host too. I highly recommend Alaine for her attentiveness, communication, and genuine love for animals. Brizo can't wait to visit again soon!”
“Kim and Dean were just amazing with my two pups and cared for them as if they were their own. They sent me constant messages with pictures and video letting me know how they were doing. The dogs were so happy!! I will definitely be using them again in the future!!”

My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”
About: Take the trip, make the memories, we will spoil your dog. Dogs have been part of our family ever since we were little. I couldn't imagine our home without the dogs that have been part of our lives growing up. My parents have always been heavily involved in animal rescue and volunteer/run a shelter near their home. Every pet has their own personality, their own story to tell - and we just love to be a part of their lives. We work from home so we're always here to take the pooches in the yard or for a nice walk at the large park right next-door to our home so there's plenty of space for them to get out and play. We have a fenced in yard, so your pup can enjoy being outside with a little bit of freedom. We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet. Our kids love to play with the dogs outside, so you can count on extra love and plenty of fun. Our pup, Haley, passed this winter after 14 wonderful year of being a part of our family and we'll be sure to treat your dog like they are as well. My husband works from home, so he is always here to play & let the dogs out and loves the extra company here in his office. We have a nice big fenced in yard, so plenty of space to run around or just enjoy the sunshine for a bit. We're also right next to a nice park, perfect for our walks. We have extra dog beds and plenty of toys because we always want the pooches to be comfy and have lots of fun.

About: I have been taking care of pets since my first own pet, at around age five. Since then, my love for animals just grew and I can’t see my life without being around furry friends. I’ve been always helping family and friends to watch their pets when they are away for vacation so, I will love to host your pet in their new home away from home. I am a stay at home mom, so between the daily routine , I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet attention, love and playtime. I care for pets with love and respect. I always follow owners instructions and do my best to understand pet’s needs. I love to play with the pets and give them some love.
“Estefania was amazing with Simba! Initially, I was a bit concerned about how her dog, Nova, would react to Simba since he’s very playful and persistent, but they ended up getting along just fine. When we first arrived for our meet and greet, Estefania’s home was clean and calm, and Simba immediately felt comfortable, heading straight for the toys. Talking with Estefania and hearing her insights on how puppies behave put my mind at ease, and I felt confident leaving Simba in her care. She also sent wonderful videos of Simba, and I could tell by his energy and excitement that Estefania treated him like her own. Simba can’t wait to visit Nova and Estefania again!”
About: Hello there! 👋 I have been involved with my parents two pups for the past 8 years.

Im currently not working. I spend most of my days at home enjoying life so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I have a newly fenced secure yard. Bathroom breaks are always available. My property is private with little to no traffic. On nice days we walk around the property. On and off leash walks are an option.

Ideally I would love to care for little dogs that can join in our daily life.
“Our Gabby is a 16 year old toy poodle who does not usually take well to new people. I couldn’t believe it when we first me Janny, Gabby warmed up to her right away. It was so good to see and a relief to know that Gabby would be comfortable and happy after I left her. Janny is a personable young woman with a big heart. This was a trial run for us, it’s been hard finding just the right place for Gabby. We are so happy that we’ve found Janny, now we can move forward with our travel plans.🙂”

About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.

About: I’ve had multiple animals throughout my life - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and turtles my whole life. I’ve cared for other peoples’ animals since I was about 20. I’m currently flexible with my schedule, and am available for “last minute” needs. Even more flexibility if I can bring my children (if absolutely necessary).

About: I have worked as a veterinary technician for the last 10 years. I am very comfortable giving any necessary medications and injections your pet may need. I'm also Animal CPR certified. I'm a 2018 Rutgers University graduate with an animal science degree. I love working with all animals. I am excited to meet new people and new pets! I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats and have many cats of my own! Can't wait to meet you! I live in Flanders NJ. I am available for daily drop ins throughout the day.

About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: I’ve taken care of my own family dog, friend’s and neighbors dogs for years. Available any day of the week for drop ins and long walks. I’m currently a stay at home mom, taking a break from corporate recruiting. I’m also a volunteer for local animal shelters and non profits organizations. I’m available every day of the week. I care for my own pets, those of my clients, and those up for adoption at animal shelters with lots of love, playtime and attention.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have experience with dogs, cats, and reptiles as well. My neighbors, friends, and family know I’m the one to call for pet sitting. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I have experience bathing dogs and administering medication. I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of free time, especially on the weekends. I try my best to be flexible and stick to your pet’s schedule. I will keep a close eye on your pet, no phone usage on walks or outside in the yard. I will play till their heart is content and make sure they get lots of treats.

“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“Estee was boarded with Trista for 8 nights. Trista was responsive to my enqiries and sent me pictures when requested. Estee seemed happy to have been there. I would trust Trista with Estee's care if I have to go away again.”
“Christina was AMAZING! Our dog Rhodey had such a great time and she took care of him very well. We had boarded him for 5 days and he got so much love & cuddles during that time. She was a pleasure to communicate with, always responding quickly and providing details when needed. She even sent him home with a little gift! She's so sweet and kind, I would highly recommend her for any pet related service!! Was a true pleasure and will definitely hire her again :)”
“I had an amazing experience with Alaine as my dog sitter. She was highly responsive, providing daily photos and a detailed "report card" summarizing Brizo's activities and well-being during the four-night stay. Alaine took exceptional care of Brizo, and her own dog, Pasta, was a wonderful host too. I highly recommend Alaine for her attentiveness, communication, and genuine love for animals. Brizo can't wait to visit again soon!”
“Kim and Dean were just amazing with my two pups and cared for them as if they were their own. They sent me constant messages with pictures and video letting me know how they were doing. The dogs were so happy!! I will definitely be using them again in the future!!”
About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience as a dog and cat mom, along with 5+ years as a professional dog walker and caregiver. I absolutely love animals and take so much joy in giving them a safe, loving, and enriching experience while you’re away. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here - they’ll be on their own little adventure! I live on 900 acres of beautiful land and spend my days walking, hiking, and exploring with my dogs. It’s the perfect environment for pups who love fresh air, movement, and nature. I offer care in my home and am also happy to travel to pick up your dog for your convenience. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time here feel like a second home 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely from home. The combination of my flexible schedule and working from home allows me the ability to come pick up your pup if needed, and host in my home! It is important for me to spend quality time with my pets and I would provide the same love and quality time with your fur-babies! We have a fenced in yard as well as 900 acres for leashed walks as well. Safety and security are very important to me when it comes to my pets, so it would be important for your babies as well. I like to keep an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs. Your pup(s) would absolutely be included on these outdoor adventures! My goal is for your pet to have fun, and for you to have peace of mind while you're working or away.
