“Bob was wonderful to our nervous little pup! He made sure she was well taken care of and she felt very much at home at his place. Would definitely have her stay again!”
“Second time leaving our 1 year old golden with them. Definitely trust Paul, very accommodating and alleviated our anxiety of leaving our dog for a few nights. Will definitely use again.”
“We can’t thank Trupti and Anmol enough for taking such wonderful care of Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. The regular updates, pictures, and videos reassured us that Bruno was not only well taken care of but also having an absolute blast! It was heartwarming to see him happily mingling with other dogs, playing, and enjoying his time to the fullest. He especially loved finding tennis balls in the snow—it was such a joy to see him so engaged and excited! And the bond he built with Anmol was truly special—seeing him rest his head in Anmol’s lap showed just how comfortable and happy he was. The attention to detail, the care, and the affection they showed Bruno truly made a difference. We were able to fully relax, knowing he was in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. Trupti and Anmol go above and beyond in creating a home away from home for pets, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their furry friends. Bruno will definitely be excited for his next stay!”
“Brie absolutely loved her time at Meghan’s place! I got daily updates and great communication and could see how happy and comfortable she was in the photos and videos. We felt relaxed and assured that our dog was in excellent care and being treated as if she was part of the family. Meghan even included a little goodie bag and was sad to see Brie go, they’re really bonded. I absolutely recommend Meghan (and Rob) to care for your baby!”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“Brian and his family are remarkably wonderful! I’ve boarded my bichons many many times. My Benny always enjoys his time there and I have no worries. Their home is so well suited for pet care. I recently had a month long stay away to care for a friend and Brian took amazing care of Benny who is 12 and diabetic. He feels at home there. I lost one of my bichons late last year to cancer and Brian and his family were so kind and empathetic. I highly recommend!!!”
“Dottie had another fabulous stay with Jaimie. Jaimie took excellent and diligent care of her and she came home happy and tired after playing with Ollie. Can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you!”
“We left our super energetic 10 month old French bulldog Frankie with Ken for 3 days and 2 nights. He took great care of him and sent him home healthy and tired. We would definitely recommend him! He’s very nice and gives good updates. He seems to really loves dogs.”
“This was our first time leaving our husky Blaze with William, when we had to travel. It all went very well. He was taking good care of our boy. He took him for nice walks, sent us pictures every day and communicated thoroughly. And when our flight got cancelled at the last moment, and we couldn't get back home the day we planned, William was flexible to allow us to extend Blaze's stay by one more day. Definitely would recommend him 👍”
“We were so happy that Shelleen and Bill took such good care of our 2 senior labs Bono and Jeter. They made them feel right at home and could tell they bonded with our boys. It’s such a relief knowing that it was a stress free environment for them and they seemed calm and happy when we picked them up to come back home. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience with MJ! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates with pictures, and she even sent our dog home with a sweet note. We would absolutely trust MJ again to watch our dog, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for one!”
“Piper just came home from another successful stay with Mike and Whitney! She obviously had a good time. I really appreciate their dedication to the pets and clients they serve. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lorrie. My dog Rosie is a bit hesitant around new people, but Lorrie was great with her and within 5 minutes, Rosie was giving her kisses! I feel so relieved to find a trustworthy sitter close to home. Just one meet with Lorrie and I already know she’ll be an asset in our lives!”
“Was worried since this was a first time visiting this house with Milo and Maui but they looked so comfortable! I was so happy to see my cats and Lenny was so sweet and caring. Both my cats were able to have seperate rooms which was also so great.”

“Steven and his wife were extremely nice. They were communicative, sent pictures of Cheese, played with him, and made the process of dropping him off and picking him up super easy. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Angelica is a very caring, conscientious caregiver. She went above and beyond, and made a point of looking for our cats when they seemed to be hiding. She even brought our cat to the vet and was very compassionate. Angelica even offered to buy us groceries when we returning to an incoming snowstorm. She is an angel and I highly recommend her.”
“Jenna was amazing with our three cats. They were well looked after the entire week. Jenna was punctual, thorough, and made sure we were kept in the loop at all times. We highly recommend her, A+!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with cats of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter.
“Kamryn is wonderful! Highly recommend. She was prompt, polite and attentive. She provided daily updates, pictures while we were away. She kept all 4 litter boxes clean and food bowls fresh. My two senior cats are not always easy to please, but she won them over! Will be booking her again for our next trip!”
“Always a relief when Jess can watch our cats. Sadly one of our babies passed away since the last time she had seen them. Now that it’s just our one cat she took all the time in the world making sure he was comfortable with us being gone! We have vacations we are taking this year and will book her again and again! She gives the peace of mind we all need when leaving our pets.”
“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”
“Jessica is a cat-sitting superstar! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our three cats while we were away on vacation. From day one, Jessica went above and beyond—sending daily updates, adorable photos, and little notes about their behavior that reassured us they were in the best hands. Each cat has their own personality (and quirks!), but Jessica handled them all with so much patience, love, and attentiveness. When we came home, the litter boxes were spotless, the food bowls were just right, and most importantly, the cats were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like they were on vacation too! Jessica treated them like family, and we are beyond grateful. We would trust her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Jessica, for giving us total peace of mind while we were away! 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve had cats for many years and understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I also have experience caring for other people’s cats through drop-in visits and overnight care. Whether a cat is social and playful or more shy and independent, I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Bridget was amazing! It was our first time using a pet sitter, and she exceeded expectations and made the whole process so easy! Bridget is very kind and easy going and she did an amazing job keeping our kitty happy and cared for while we were away. She kept us updated every day with many pictures and we had no issues at all! We have definitely found our long term cat sitter!”
“I just had Madison watch my kitty for the second time and she is phenomenal!! She cares for him like he is her own and her communication is perfect!! She also happens to take the best pics of him, lol!!! see my first review too!!”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and spending time with pets of all kinds. While I'm newer to providing dedicated cat care services, I've cared for family and friends' cats over the years and previously lived in a home with three cats, which gave me experience with their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I understand that every cat is different - some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and a little extra patience. I'm happy to follow your cat's routine closely, whether that means feeding, litter box care, playtime, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your beloved pet. I'll treat your cat with kindness, patience, and respect, and I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for.
“Amazing!!!!!! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Very prompt and respectful!!! My cat Bella LOVES her!!! Definitely the best. Wasn’t worried at all when I was away, knew she was in good hands. ☺️☺️☺️☺️”

My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. As an elementary school teacher, I have a flexible schedule throughout the year and am especially available during the summer months when I am off from school. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care to your pets. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute help, I am committed to being a dependable resource for you and your furry family members. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Sara takes really good care of Winnie. I know this from the way Winnie runs up the driveway to meet her every morning. He is usually nervous around other dogs but Sara dealt with that like a pro. Now he has dog friends at Sara’s that he enjoys being with.”

About: Hi there! Although I only recently reactivated this app, caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my beloved Border Collie, Zoey (see Gallery), from puppyhood through adulthood. She has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, but during her life I taught her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide dogs of all ages with a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment that is free from hazards—while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⸻ Today, I own a longhaired male Dachshund named Moose. He loves other dogs, is up to date on his core vaccines, and is currently unneutered. Because of him, I have firsthand experience with the unique care that long-bodied breeds require, including proper handling techniques and back protection. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My prior Border Collie, Zoey, was dog-reactive and medically disabled (she was completely blind in one eye), so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s individual needs. ⸻ I am home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. The house is in close proximity to the Belford Ferry, making it especially convenient for NYC commuters. *********** For clients interested in doggy daycare or boarding, dogs will enjoy a securely fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor play, as well as an indoor gated playpen located on the main living level of the home (see Gallery). The playpen is stocked with plenty of toys and enrichment activities, and dogs also have access to the adjacent hardwood-floor living area. *********** To help keep all of our furry friends healthy and safe, proof of core vaccinations is required (except for young puppies), and all dogs must be on a flea and tick preventative. Clients are welcome to bring a crate, favorite bed, blanket, or other comfort items from home. Baby gates are installed on the stairs for added safety, and walks may be added to daycare or boarding services. *********** At this time, I intentionally accept only one client (which can include multiple dogs) at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention, maintain a calm, low-stress environment, and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. I closely supervise all interactions and can easily keep dogs separated if needed. At night, your pup will have the playpen all to themselves for a peaceful night’s sleep (or a crate if you prefer). The playpen is also monitored with a baby monitor for an extra layer of safety. ⸻ My goal is to make drop-off as simple and stress-free as possible. If you’d prefer to simply drop off your pup, I’ve got the essentials covered! Of course, you’re always welcome to bring your dog’s own food, crate, favorite blanket, toys, or any comfort items if you’d like. *********** What’s Included with Daycare & Boarding: • Premium name-brand kibble, served with fresh water and dog-friendly bone broth • Quality treats and chews, including turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, and more • Supervised outdoor potty breaks and playtime in a securely fenced yard • Indoor enrichment activities, including frozen lick mats and puzzle toys • Access to a variety of toys and comfortable beds within the secure indoor playpen • Daily photo updates for peace of mind 😊 ⸻ Before every booking, we’ll discuss your dog’s routine, personality, exercise needs, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so I can provide personalized, attentive care. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. *********** I have a flexible schedule and will work with you to coordinate pickup/drop-off times that work. We will discuss scheduling at the initial consult. We can go over any quirks /routines that you do to make your pup feel comfy, favorite toys, etc., to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾
“Angelica was on time & my pup Hazel is extremely shy with people . When Angelica arrived, and walked onto our deck Hazel went right up to her did not hide behind me at all in fact she kissed Angelica hand!! It was amazing to me how Hazel felt so comfortable instantly . Which completely relaxed me & I felt very confident & comfortable. She took Hazel for a walk & I watched Hazel walk as if she knew Angelica & trusted her! I would recommend Angelica highly. She was very responsible & loving with my pup! I rate her excellent! 🩷”

About: I’ve been professionally dog walking and taking care of pets for about a year now, but I’ve been around animals my whole life.

I’m used to planning my schedule around pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I genuinely enjoy it, and spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes and try to keep pets as comfortable and relaxed as possible by following their normal routine. I always follow the instructions owners provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific care instructions or preferences their pets have. I know every pet is different, so I try to pay attention to their personality and comfort level while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: For years I have taken care of dogs big and small. I’ve been called on my neighbors, friends, and family to watch their fur babies while they are away. In the past I have come over for the routine feed and bathroom and kept company, boarded at my home, or stayed at their home if the dog is more comfortable in that environment I am currently a student, so you can often find me home studying. Studying can get boring pretty quickly, so I would love the company and your fur baby would be spoiled with love and attention I live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard and live within a short walking distance to a scenic walking path

She also makes sure he eats before she leaves, and she is always in great contact with me. I truly always look for Darlene's availability when looking to book my dog for a walk. I would definitely say she is the best I have used on here and I will recommend her again and again!”

During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

“Second time leaving our 1 year old golden with them. Definitely trust Paul, very accommodating and alleviated our anxiety of leaving our dog for a few nights. Will definitely use again.”
“We can’t thank Trupti and Anmol enough for taking such wonderful care of Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. The regular updates, pictures, and videos reassured us that Bruno was not only well taken care of but also having an absolute blast! It was heartwarming to see him happily mingling with other dogs, playing, and enjoying his time to the fullest. He especially loved finding tennis balls in the snow—it was such a joy to see him so engaged and excited! And the bond he built with Anmol was truly special—seeing him rest his head in Anmol’s lap showed just how comfortable and happy he was. The attention to detail, the care, and the affection they showed Bruno truly made a difference. We were able to fully relax, knowing he was in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. Trupti and Anmol go above and beyond in creating a home away from home for pets, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their furry friends. Bruno will definitely be excited for his next stay!”
“Brie absolutely loved her time at Meghan’s place! I got daily updates and great communication and could see how happy and comfortable she was in the photos and videos. We felt relaxed and assured that our dog was in excellent care and being treated as if she was part of the family. Meghan even included a little goodie bag and was sad to see Brie go, they’re really bonded. I absolutely recommend Meghan (and Rob) to care for your baby!”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“Brian and his family are remarkably wonderful! I’ve boarded my bichons many many times. My Benny always enjoys his time there and I have no worries. Their home is so well suited for pet care. I recently had a month long stay away to care for a friend and Brian took amazing care of Benny who is 12 and diabetic. He feels at home there. I lost one of my bichons late last year to cancer and Brian and his family were so kind and empathetic. I highly recommend!!!”
“Dottie had another fabulous stay with Jaimie. Jaimie took excellent and diligent care of her and she came home happy and tired after playing with Ollie. Can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you!”
“We left our super energetic 10 month old French bulldog Frankie with Ken for 3 days and 2 nights. He took great care of him and sent him home healthy and tired. We would definitely recommend him! He’s very nice and gives good updates. He seems to really loves dogs.”
“This was our first time leaving our husky Blaze with William, when we had to travel. It all went very well. He was taking good care of our boy. He took him for nice walks, sent us pictures every day and communicated thoroughly. And when our flight got cancelled at the last moment, and we couldn't get back home the day we planned, William was flexible to allow us to extend Blaze's stay by one more day. Definitely would recommend him 👍”
“We were so happy that Shelleen and Bill took such good care of our 2 senior labs Bono and Jeter. They made them feel right at home and could tell they bonded with our boys. It’s such a relief knowing that it was a stress free environment for them and they seemed calm and happy when we picked them up to come back home. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience with MJ! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates with pictures, and she even sent our dog home with a sweet note. We would absolutely trust MJ again to watch our dog, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for one!”
“Piper just came home from another successful stay with Mike and Whitney! She obviously had a good time. I really appreciate their dedication to the pets and clients they serve. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lorrie. My dog Rosie is a bit hesitant around new people, but Lorrie was great with her and within 5 minutes, Rosie was giving her kisses! I feel so relieved to find a trustworthy sitter close to home. Just one meet with Lorrie and I already know she’ll be an asset in our lives!”
“Was worried since this was a first time visiting this house with Milo and Maui but they looked so comfortable! I was so happy to see my cats and Lenny was so sweet and caring. Both my cats were able to have seperate rooms which was also so great.”

“Our Brooke stayed by Radwa while we were off on a family vacation for 7 days. Brooke was very well taken care of and a very happy girl when we got home. She loves Radwa, her family and her pups. It’s nice to be away and not have to worry about your beloved pup. We highly recommend Radwa.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Corinne was great! She sent multiple texts and pictures of Kelly making us feel very relaxed on our trip! Definitely will use her again! Thanks again Corrine!”
