“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica! While I was traveling, my dog required unexpected medical attention, and Jessica went above and beyond to ensure she was well cared for. She immediately recognized the issue, took her to the vet, and kept me updated throughout the process, which gave me such peace of mind. Jessica treated my dog as if she were her own, providing excellent care, administering medications as instructed, and showering her with love and attention during her recovery. It's clear that Jessica is not only reliable and professional but also incredibly compassionate and dedicated. I am so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Jessica, for everything!”

About: I’ve been crazy about pets my whole life—raised with two dogs who taught me love and duty, now sharing my days with a feisty cat and keeping up with my family’s three silly pups. I’m here to pamper your furry friends: epic walks, tons of playtime, big cuddles, or just kicking back together. Cats? I’m their brushing and snuggle champ. Baths or meds? Show me how, and I’m all over it. I get a kick out of every pet’s little quirks! Note: my cat’s a lone wolf, so I can’t host at home. Drop me a line to chat about your pet—I’m pumped to give them the fun and care they’ll totally adore! Every morning of the week until 12h30, I can pass to walk and play with your animal. I can maybe be free during the weekend. We need to discuss first. I live for animals and their happiness, with a sharp eye for what they’re feeling. I pick up on stress signals and tweak my care to fit them perfectly, creating a peaceful vibe where they can just be themselves. Whether it’s a burst of play to lift their spirits or a quiet moment to ease their mind, I tune into their world and make it better.
“Jennifer is a amazing animal carer she was very patient and loving with my cats and they can be a handful as they been heavily spoiled. She communicated everything I needed to know about my boys and made me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to book her again.”
“This is the second time Emily has petsit for my 2 cats. As always she was amazing. My first experience was back in February when I had to go on an extended work trip for 10 days. Emily was amazing and my 2 cats warmed right up to her. She took such great care of them. She went above and beyond even making it to take care of them during the blizzard. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She will love your pets like they are her own making sure their needs are met while giving lots of play time and cuddles. She even got my extremely timid cat to take her medicine twice a day- an amazing feat!! Her updates and communication were thorough and put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area and will be booking her for my future pet sitting needs.”
“Wish I could give Justice 100 stars! I can’t recommend her enough, she took great care of our two cats, our apartment, and kept us totally at ease while we were away. It was clear that she really cared about the cats, and they were happy and comfortable the whole time. She sent thoughtful updates, was super reliable, and we came home to two happy cats and a spotless place. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: The first cat I took care of was my aunt’s short hair named Frenchie. She was shy and a bit stubborn, but by the end of her time with me, we became best friends. Ever since then, I’ve made it my point to befriend every cat I take care of by respecting their boundaries and prioritizing their comfort. I have taken care of cuddly cats and nervous cats. I’ve never been afraid of litter box cleaning or getting scratched. I worked at Pet Valu for a while as well and have worked with shelter cats by feeding them, cleaning their cages, socializing them, and administering oral medications.

About: I grew up in a household that always had multiple dogs at the same time and was actively involved in their care. Feeding, bathing, walking and giving them the daily love and attention they needed. I have the ability to adjust my availability as needed. My daily and weekly routine is built around providing consistent and attentive pet care for your loved one. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have been relied upon by friends, family, and neighbors for pet care for the past 25 years. While I may not have formal "clinic" experience, my practical, hands-on experience has taught me patience, reliability, and how to anticipate a pet's needs and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with various breeds and temperaments and committed to upholding the highest standard of care.
“Claire was a great help in caring for my two cats during a time when I needed it. She was reliable and stayed in close contact with me, being sure to reach out if she had any questions. She did a nice job of attending to the needs of my kitties. I appreciated the help and will call on her again.”

“Jessica and Butters were wonderful and welcoming for my mini Dachshund, Loki’s first daycare session! 💕 So many pictures showing how much fun he had!! He can’t wait til his next visit. Thank you!!”
“This was Oreo’s second day here and it was just as amazing as the first. He is almost 12, very particular about people, and not the easiest dog to win over — so the fact that he was excited to go back says everything. As chaotic as our day was, it was such a huge relief knowing he was happy, comfortable, and in such good hands. Jackie’s flexibility, kindness, and obvious love for dogs really stood out. It is not easy to find someone you fully trust with your dog, especially one with a picky personality, but this truly feels like a safe, loving, and comfortable home for him. We are so grateful to have found Jackie and will absolutely continue to book again (already have) 😉”
“Armani had a great time during his sit as he came back energetic and super playful! They also provided constant updates which I absolutely loved. They definitely took care of my puppy, so I highly recommend!”
“Lina is really comfortable at Lisa's house. She especially likes being around the resident pets. She's slowly learning to trust and play (former puppy mill momma). Lina is in great hands with Lisa and her family. They are awesome.”
“Robert is a great dog sitter and man. He cares very much for the well-being of the animals he watches, honors all request, and goes above and beyond. Whole heartedly trust him and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter”
About: I can handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. My regular clients includes dogs as small as a Rat Terrier and as large as a Weimaraner. I don't currently have other pets or small children at home, so no worries if your furry friend is not accustomed to that! I work 5 hrs a day , so I have plenty of time to play and be company to your pups. All other availability is on a case by case basis. Overnight is available most days per week. I have a fenced in yard and a quiet street near a local park to ensure high levels of activity. Inside, pets will get plenty of cuddles on the couch.
“We needed a sitter at the very last minute for our precious golden retriever, Bhavani was happy to accommodate my dog for a day. She made my dog very comfortable at her home, constantly kept in touch with us as well through pictures and video updates. Overall we have a great exprince with Bhavani. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”
“Megan & Nick were absolutely stellar dog sitters. They answered all my questions and accommodated a rushed request for both the booking and a meet and greet. They were extremely communicative throughout the whole process and put a new dog dad at ease. I would remiss to leave out the lovable Bubba, who was a most gracious host, sharing his toys and his space. He and Rigby were fast friends. The whole family was lovely, clearly dog lovers. Looking forward to booking with them again soon!”
About: We lost our 13 yr old american bulldog / hound mix and while mom (Lisa) isn't ready to have a new FT family member just yet, my son and I would be so excited to have fun with and love your pet as our own while you are away. We have a fenced-in back yard, lots of toys and a comfy dog bed - though of course you are welcome to bring your own gear, if it makes your pet feel more comfortable and at home. Typically only board 1 family at a time. Because our schedules can vary, we’re only able to accept boarding requests 2-3 months in advance. We appreciate your understanding! I am self-employed and work from home so am available to give your pet all the attention it deserves, take for walks and potty breaks as needed. We have a fenced yard and I have experience with senior dogs where extra care, love and medication may be needed, and am totally fine with larger dogs as well.
About: I’m a stay at home mom with too many years experience caring for dogs and puppies to count! Our home is a dog’s dream vacation. We have a friendly dog who loves company, two small kids who adore playing with pups, and a spacious fenced in yard perfect for romping around. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be part of our family while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two elementary school kids , so my schedule is pretty flexible and gives me time to show your sweet pups all the attention and love they need. I have a spacious fenced in yard where your pups can run around and play in. It’s my goal to make your dog feel as loved and safe as they do at home.
“Connor was amazing with my newly adopted dog, Wendy! I was very nervous leaving her as Wendy is still learning to trust new humans so she is a little anxious in new environments. But Connor understood, gave her space and kept her comfortable during her first doggy day care experience. She had fun socializing with his dog Kygo along with some other dog friends outside in his fully fenced backyard. Connor put me at ease with updates and pictures as well. I will be using Connor again in the future and definitely recommend his services to others!”
“I am very happy I found Jose. He took my babies in at the last minute and was great at keeping in contact with me and sending pics and videos. If I ever travel back here with my pups again he will be my go to.”

About: With over 16 years of hands on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up surrounded by family dogs, taking an active role in their feeding, grooming, bathing, exercise, and playtime. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read a dog’s body language, keep them mentally stimulated, and make them feel safe and loved no matter how long they’re with me. My girlfriend Goldie is currently in school to become a Vet and has been caring for animals even longer than me! , Your baby will always be in a pet-friendly, knowledgeable environment. My flexible work schedule as a tattoo artist means there’s almost always someone home to give your dog attention, walks, and companionship. Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses for as long as I can remember. From feeding and grooming to bath time and endless games of fetch, caring for pups is something I truly enjoy.

I’m a tattoo artist with a flexible schedule, working nearby from 11–5, and when I’m out, my girlfriend is home. When she’s in class, I’m here meaning your pup will never ever be alone.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in 6th grade, and have been trusted to care for the animals of many families. I have the most experience with cat sitting - both indoor and outdoor - but have taken care of dogs many times as well as had a dog of my own for four years! I am adaptable to any needs your pet might have, as I was used to allergies, injury care, and high excitability with my own family dog. I have loved animals all my life and would love to provide any care possible, for any type of pet! I am a college student on break who currently does not have a job, so my days are very available for pet care! I have reliable transportation and will be able to do multiple visits per day. I provide attentive pet care, and follow any and all instructions very well so your pet can have a great time while you are away! I always make time to stay with your pet for some extra time past just being fed or walked, so that they get all the attention they need.

About: I love animals! I’ve been a dog mom for 13 years, I’ve fostered over 25 dogs, & have experience cat sitting as well. I’m based in Cranford and grew up in Westfield so very familiar with the area. Animals are my happy place and I love babying and caring for them. As such, I’d like to offer my services to keep your pets happy with cuddles, playtime, and/or exercise while you’re away from them. I have a genuine connection with animals & would love to help them feel less lonely while you’re away. In addition, I can provide a quick dog massage towards the end of my stay if you think your pet would enjoy it! I’ve experienced all different energy levels and weight up to 80 pounds. I provide excellent service through my communication, following direction, timeliness, and genuine care of animals. I’m available on weekends any time. On weekdays, I’m able to drop in 5:30pm and after during weekdays. If you’re close to me, I can drop by early morning and/or lunch time. From being a foster mom to homeless dogs, I’m very cognizant of the safety of animals. I know dogs especially can be easily spooked so I ensure that I have a firm grip on the leash with it wrapped once around my wrist. My dog is a strong pitbull so I feel comfortable handling most large strong dogs. While I’m caring for pets, I talk to them like they’re babies! I’m very much guilty of having a baby voice, but I feel the animals love and respond to it!
“Elaine has been amazing with our dog, Jax! He’s usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear she really understands dogs and takes her time to make them feel comfortable. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so glad we found her!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and caretaker. I had a dog by my side for 16 wonderful years growing up, and now I’m the proud owner of a playful 5-year-old Labradoodle who keeps me active and always smiling! Whether your pup loves long walks, quick potty breaks, or just some extra company during the day, I’m here to help. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I treat every dog like my own—with care, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your needs. Let me know how I can support you and your dog—I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a lot of flexibility in the summer as a teacher, which gives me availability during the day and on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already walk and care for my own dog daily. Whether it’s mid-day walks, evening check-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to fit your pet’s needs into my schedule. I create a safe and calm environment where dogs can feel right at home. I follow any feeding, crate, or medication instructions you provide and always keep communication open for updates and peace of mind.
“Jaylene is awesome!! We have now used her three times for dog walks, our 4th time is booked for tomorrow, and we intend to keep using her. She is super communicative, flexible with her availability, on time, super sweet and just radiates really positive vibes. Molly, my dog, loves her walks with Jaylene. She goes running to Jaylene whenever she sees her and that says everything. Jaylene is excellent at working out some of Molly’s energy while on their walks. I also love reading about their walks and seeing the pics from their walks on the app (Jaylene always makes sure to let me know what they did or saw on their walks). We are super happy with Jaylene. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have grown up my whole life with Shih Tzu’s. My family absolutely loves animals and we have a 10-year-old Shih Tzu named Bailey. I have helped with him as a puppy to now. I currently live in an apartment that does not allow pets, but would love to work with people who have pets and help them out! I work a remote job as a recruiter so I’m able to make my own schedule with interviews. If I know a little bit in advance, I can work around my schedule to walk your pup! I currently don’t live with Bailey but when I did, we were with him 24/7 as I work from home. I play with him feed him and walk him!
“Debra is fantastic. Our little guy is new to the family so she had to deal with us acclimating to him at the same time she did. She keeps me updated on his progress and how her visits go. We're happy to have someone checking on him who treats him like their own!”
About: have extensive hands-on pet care experience that ranges from managing medical needs to caring for a large and diverse group of animals. In the past, I took care of an epileptic German Shepherd, which required close attention to medication schedules, monitoring for seizures, and providing a calm, stable environment. Currently, I care for an Australian Shepherd, two cats, five small dogs, a husky, and a fish which has given me experience managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and daily routines across multiple species. This includes feeding, grooming, exercising high-energy dogs, maintaining clean and safe living spaces, and ensuring each animal receives proper attention and care. I currently work at an accounting firm 7am-3pm during the week, but my hours are very flexible and I am always around on the weekends! With so many different animals (dogs, cats, chickens, and even a fish), I’ve gotten used to balancing different needs at once, whether that’s taking the dogs out for walks and playtime, feeding everyone on their schedules, or just checking in to make sure they’re doing okay. I’m also pretty attentive to behavior changes, especially since I’ve cared for a dog with epilepsy before and know how important it is to stay observant. I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so the pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I follow instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or medication, and I make sure the pet gets plenty of attention and reassurance while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I usually provide updates so owners feel at ease knowing everything is going smoothly.

They sent a ton of pictures that made me feel at ease and kept me up to date on their activities throughout the stay! I would absolutely recommend Lucas and Katherine and will be using their services again in the future!”

Would highly recommend Lakshmi for anyone looking for a great home away from Home for their fur baby while you are out , know that your baby wil be well taken care of.”
“Connor was awesome. This was my first time using rover and first time my dog (1 year) stayed out of the house. We were nervous cause it was a full week. He sent us pictures, kept in contact, and my dog was wiped from playing with his dog Maggie all day. I would recommend Connor to anyone. No worries, no stress, your dog will be taken care of.”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Victor and Lesly were the perfect sitters. They followed our instructions perfectly and provided lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely rebook the next time we’re out of town.”
“Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.”
“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.”
About: We are a loving family who are excited to open our home to your pet. We were proud dog owners for 13 years, and caring for our beloved Brandin was a big part of our daily life. We truly enjoy being around dogs and creating a warm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and loved. Between myself and my husband if not both someone is usually at home. I only work part time and my husband is a NJ Firefighter which gives us free time to care for your pet. We have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can safely play, get fresh air, and we live in a friendly dog loving community that’s perfect for walks and outdoor time.
“Robert responded quickly and was able to take our dog on short notice. We felt confident that our dog was in good hands while we were away. He kept in touch with us and sent videos and updates throughout the stay.”
“Jack was so excited to visit with Jacqueline! He was well taken care of and played with his new pals. Very looking forward to his next adventure with her! Thank you for the pictures and videos! Definitely gave us a sense of comfort to see our Jack!”
“We love Tiara and how she cares for our cat! We are repeat customers for a reason. She is really easy to communicate with, very sweet and fast to respond, and very good with animals. Loved seeing updates while we were away, and interacting with Tiara. Thanks, Tiara!!!!”
“I highly recommend Primavera without any hesitation. She went over and beyond to ensure that my dogs were comfortable despite their ‘anxious and nervous’ behaviors. She was very patient with them. She also kept me updated with pictures and video. I will surely be a repeat customer.”
“They were great. We were in town for a concert and we needed someone on short notice, so we messaged. They got back to us right away, great communication. I even got picture updates..”
