“My Sweet girl had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend Maisha, she’s best in class. Extremely responsive and stay in touch with you every step of the way. This was my second booking we have a lifetime to go. Thank you for your wonderful service!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Thank you so much, it was a great take care of our doggie Polly update all day and photos and issue there were very informative and helpful and totally respectful and recommended you to use for taking care of your doggie. Thank you”
About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”
About: Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. I grew up with a beloved Maltese who lived to a happy, healthy 17 years old, so I am deeply familiar with the dedicated care, patience, and attention that senior dogs and smaller breeds require. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience pet-sitting a wide variety of breeds and personalities, including: High-Energy & Large Breeds: Mini Goldendoodles Small & Toy Breeds: Toy Poodles, Bichons, and Maltese Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who loves to play or a sweet senior who just wants to curl up next to my desk while I work, I know how to adapt to their specific routine and comfort levels. I live in a fantastic, dog-friendly apartment complex that is perfectly set up for a guest pup’s staycation: On-Site Dog Park: Right inside my complex, perfect for safe, enclosed playtime and socializing (if permitted). Great Walking Paths: Plenty of safe, sidewalk-lined areas right outside my door for frequent, structured potty breaks and refreshing walks. Constant Supervision: Because my job keeps me glued to my home office, your dog will never be left unattended. They will have full run of the apartment, plenty of couch cuddles, and a flexible schedule that revolves entirely around their needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home! Because we both work from home full-time, our entire daily and weekly routine is built around flexibility. We are in the home 24/7, meaning your dog will receive constant, uninterrupted attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Our schedule adapts completely to your dog’s natural routine, not the other way around. If their normal day requires a midday walk, specific feeding windows, or medication, we mirror that exactly. Best of all, because there are two of us, we operate as a team—if one of us is in a deep-focus work meeting or running a quick errand, the other is right there to step in. We are fully available for full-time boarding and dedicated to making our home your pup's favorite staycation. We focus entirely on providing a safe, low-stress, and highly attentive environment in our home. Because we don’t have a resident dog of our own, your pup gets our undivided love and the run of the apartment. Here is exactly how we ensure a safe and trustworthy stay: Continuous Supervision: Since we both work from home full-time, your dog is never left alone or uncrated in an empty apartment. We double-team our schedules, meaning there is always someone available to supervise playtime, monitor behaviors, and offer comfort. A Secure, Tailored Environment: Before any guest arrives, we ensure our apartment is fully dog-proofed. We carefully match our home's setup to your dog’s usual habits—whether they prefer sleeping in a crate, curling up in a dedicated dog bed, or claiming a spot right next to our office desks. Active & Safe Outings: For bathroom breaks and exercise, we utilize the excellent walking paths around our complex. If your dog loves to socialize, we have access to our complex's secure, on-site dog park. However, we only do park play or interactions with other dogs if you explicitly give us the green light. Strict Routine Management: We strictly adhere to the feeding schedules, portion sizes, and potty routines your dog is used to at home to avoid any digestive upset or anxiety.
“My pup can be very anxious and Nicolle went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. It took so much stress off my vacation planning and will definitely book again:)”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”
About: A strong commitment to treating every pet “like you do,” with a satisfaction-focused approach centered on each animal’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. Having 20+ years of professional pet care experience, giving owners confidence that their pets are in knowledgeable hands Paws N Claws Pet Service is a full-time part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day is organized around scheduled pet visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and client updates. Throughout the week, I coordinate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and tailor care to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive reliable, personalized attention. I provide personalized, in-home care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. If needed, I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions and monitor each pet for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.
“Rosemeri is amazing! She went above and beyond with our chihuahua Molly. She is definitely an animal lover, our dog warmed up to her immediately. Always quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures, videos and updates. Our dog is a bit needy but I saw from all of the updates that she received so many cuddles and attention. It was such a good feeling to know our dog was so well taken care of while we were away.”
“Neide was a wonderful fit for our dog, Vivian. She provided us with updates(both photo and video) everyday. She was great with following Vivian’s food and exercise schedule. Everything about our experience with Neide was perfect and we cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to look after your furry friend. She is the BEST!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years for family and friends, and I’m excited to welcome new furry guests into my home. I provide a calm, loving environment where every dog is treated like family. My sweet Yorkshire Terrier, Nina, enjoys meeting new friends and helps make visiting dogs feel right at home. To ensure every pup has enough space and individual attention, I only accept dogs up to 15 pounds. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. I can easily follow your dog’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. My flexible routine allows me to give each guest the attention they deserve instead of leaving them home alone for long periods. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily strolls, and my home is clean, secure, and designed to help small dogs feel comfortable. Because my space is best suited for smaller pups, I only host dogs up to 15 pounds, ensuring everyone has room to relax and play safely. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.
“Rochelle is super reliable and took really good care of my kitties. Gave me updates on them daily basis. Highly recommend her because I would hire her again!”
“I have to say I was skeptical to book with rover as a first timer but Angela kept me informed of how my pup was doing with videos and comments, which had me at ease. I would definitely book again.”
“Yuberkis is wonderful and takes incredible care of our dog, Elphaba. She has watched Elphie multiple times now because I trust her completely. Elphie has even made friends with some of the other dogs she watches! I love seeing the videos that Yuberkis sends, too!”

“I highly recommend working with Jeanette. She took excellent care of my shy, senior rescue cat while I was away for Thanksgiving. She’s super responsive, thorough, and incredibly responsible. I hope to work with her again in the future :)”
“Toni was great! My cat, who tends to be shy with new people, loved her. She was punctual, communicated well, and sent lots of pictures and updates while she was watching her.”
“Thank you so much for loving my baby girl while I was away!!! I think she absolutely loved the iPad games you brought :) so many photos and videos while I was away and so communicative. We will definitely have you back!”
“Deliris is one of the most sweetest, best person I've ever met. She really loves animals, Sasha loves Deliris very much because she was so lovable to Sasha and treated her so amazing, I will definitely use Deliris services again”
“We’ve booked with Irisdelie multiple times to care for our cats, Chai & Latte, and she is absolutely wonderful. She’s extremely attentive, very responsive with updates (our favorite to read while away), and it’s clear she truly cares about animals and takes pride in her work. Our cats adore her and we always feel completely at ease when they’re with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old husky Rudy and my 2 1 year old Manx cats Remi and Rio. She stayed in my house for a whole week and she took very good care of them. I would definitely be reaching out to her for my next vacation. Thank you so much Karollyne!”
“Nicolle is amazing! She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. She followed all the instructions, was very kind and communicative and the cats felt comfortable with her. She also took care of our apartment. Highly recommended!”
About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is that I always prioritize a pet safety their environment, but most importantly, I prioritize them feeling secure, knowing that they’re in the right hands. I currently have a flexible work schedule that can fit into taking good care of any fur babies I meet. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so that will never be an issue either. Once I’m off a meeting I can go right back into giving the pet as much attention possible. Definitely a good distraction from work! To me, I consider pets very similar to humans. So I always assure that they’re in good hands regarding safety. Always better to have fun but to prioritize safety first!
“Daniel was beyond responsible and responsive, although I was far away from home he made sure to inform me on each visit regarding status of my senior dog and cat. I know for sure who to contact in the future ! 10/10 overall service”
About: As a cat owner for the past two years, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level. In addition to caring for my own cat, I’ve also spent time around the cats of friends and family, including my sister’s cat over the past three years, giving me experience with a variety of temperaments and routines. I know how important it is to respect each cat’s space, provide a calm environment, and pay attention to the little details that help them feel secure. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to care for their daily needs, I’ll make sure they receive patient, loving care while you’re away.
“Jadis was great with my cat, Luna. She read through all my instructions and took excellent care of Luna. I enjoyed the cute photos she took in each of her visits. Luna instantly became friends with her.”
“Neide was amazing and Scooby adjusted well to being with her. She responds promptly and provided daily video and pictures which was much appreciated. I will definitely be using her services again! Thank you Neide🥰”
“I have been meaning to leave Molly a review for a long time! I’ll summarize why she’s an incredible cat sitter below. 1) You can tell she really cares about our cats. 2) She always sends fun updates. 3) She put a lot of effort into winning over our super shy cat who has NEVER come out for a cat sitter. Now he rolls over for belly rubs when she comes over! (How do I know? See point 2) This last time really takes the cake though and is what compelled me to write a review. I made an error on the booking and missed a whole day in the middle of our vacation. Molly reached out ahead of time and asked about the missing date, which I appreciated SO MUCH because I would have been worried sick about the boys being left alone or without food for a full day. I’m so glad she reached out and the peace of mind I get for knowing my cats are in good hands is worth everything. If she’s looking for the extra business, you should absolutely book her for your pet sitting services.”
“Lilian was amazing! She was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating and my boys absolutely loved her! She made sure to check every detail every day (water fountain levels, whether litter box was clean, what foods they liked more, etc) and was very communicative. She also sent the cutest pics of my cats, which became one of my phone backgrounds 😂 Will definitely book her again!!”
“Jade was exceptional! Her communication and photos the whole time were perfect and she bonded so well with my cat. I would absolutely work with Jade again the next time I need a cat sitter. She asked questions and got to know my cat and her habits during our meet and greet and followed all instructions we left perfectly!”

“Marlita was wonderful! Super responsive, always on time, going above and beyond. Very sweet and my little fur ball was wall taken care of. Highly recommend her and I will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard.

About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

“Jeanette was a great sitter for Mr Pickles! Great communication throughout while she cared for our pet, and very friendly and easy going. Her golden doodle was also great with our furry baby, she kept us up to date throughout the day with pictures and video, totally recommended :)”
“I am extremely satisfied with the service I received. Luna was taken care of, very well, and the communication (written/visually) was outstanding! I am very pleased with the attention, and we will be back soon! Thanks very much! We are both very happy Rovers.”
“This was the last daycare I had with Jennifer before my sweet elderly Xander passed. Xander had come to like Jennifer and over time, started to show excitement when he saw her. So this final rating was given by the dog. Xander had many medical needs and Jennifer accepted all of them. Xander passed yesterday and I contacted her to inform her and thank her. I didn't mention this but I was feeling regret about not checking the box asking for pictures all day long. SHE STARTED SENDING ME PICTURES. I"M CRYING BIG TEARS THANK YOU.”
About: I’m a recent graduate and lifelong animal lover. I’ve helped care for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ dogs since I was young, and I also have two dogs back home in Korea that I’ve raised since they were puppies. Because I’ve grown up with animals, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from playful, energetic pups to shy or senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I can help with walking, feeding, basic care, and lots of playtime and affection. People who know me trust that I’m responsible, calm, and very attentive to each dog’s unique needs and routines, and I always treat every pet like my own family. As a recent graduate currently not working a traditional full-time job, I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time and attention to your pets. I can adjust to your preferred routine, whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening play sessions. I am available on weekdays and weekends and can usually accommodate last-minute bookings or schedule changes. Because pet care is my main focus right now, your dog or cat won’t be squeezed into a busy day. I can be present, patient, and fully engaged with them. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I am in your home or out on a walk, I am careful about leashes, doors, and surroundings so your pet stays secure at all times. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding guidelines, medication schedules, and any specific rules you have about furniture, treats, or interactions with other animals. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is in reliable hands and for your pet to feel calm, safe, and loved while we are together.
“Piper had a great first daycare visit and we will definitely be going back! She was given ample alone time to feel comfortable in her new surroundings and she looks very happy in the pictures”
About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.

Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”
“Te has really positive energy! Our Beloved made himself comfortable right away. He had a good ol' time by looking at all the pics Te sent us throughout the day. Thank you Te!”

About: Hi! I’m Tina, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes pets are family. Growing up, I had a Pekingese who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years, she was my best friend, and I was involved in her care every single day, from walks and feeding to just spending time together. In high school I also helped walk and care for dogs in my neighborhood, which gave me experience with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m not a professionally trained handler, but I think honesty goes a long way when someone is trusting you with their dog. What I can genuinely offer is patience, attentiveness, and a lot of love. I’m actually looking into additional pet care training because this is something I really enjoy and want to keep growing in. I work fully remotely, which means I can provide lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for interaction and care. I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment community with a dog park located downstairs, and I also have reliable transportation to take dogs to nearby parks and walking areas if appropriate. A little about me: I studied Public Health during both my undergraduate and graduate education, earned my Master’s degree in Global Health from Harvard , and currently work in the health industry. That sound unrelated, but honestly it’s shaped how I approach responsibility: carefully, consistently, and always with the other person’s (or pup’s!) needs in mind. I know how much it means to find someone you can really trust with your dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and go from there! I am available Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm, and on weekends from 10am to 12pm and 3pm to 5pm. I'm happy to accommodate special needs outside of these hours to ensure your pet receives the best care possible! In my home, I can comfortably accommodate small dogs/medium size dogs ensuring they have a safe, clean, and loving environment. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and constant supervision to make sure your pet feels secure and happy.

Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking.

About: I've cherished the company of pets throughout my entire life, ranging from the tiniest Shih Tzu to the majestic Siberian Huskies. My active lifestyle perfectly aligns with my passion for taking dogs on invigorating walks and spending countless hours engaged in joyful play with them.

About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.
