Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hackensack
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Diamond was. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Diamond absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Amarys again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Christina was amazing from start to finish! Amazing communication and multiple photo updates daily. She and her husband really took great care of my Bella! Will absolutely be booking her again. Thanks Christina!”
“Christine was such a fantastic caretaker for our miniature schnauzer! Her two dogs were friendly and kept him busy all week and they looked like they had a lot of fun. I was sent plenty of fun pics and videos throughout my time away. Would definitely book again!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our pup! She is friendly, communicative and flexible. She sent us multiple pictures daily to ease our minds that our buddy was in good hands. He loved his time there with Stephanie and Toby so much that he didn’t want to come back home with us 🤣”
“Moonyoung and Sunhyung were great with Ziggy! It usually takes her a couple days to get used to a new environment, and they were patient, sent updates and pictures and provided a caring home. It gave me great peace of mind while away that Ziggy was being well taken care of :)”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have also cared for other animals like turtles, frogs, rabbits, hamsters and birds. Growing up surrounded by pets sparked a lifelong passion for animal care, and I’ve been caring for them ever since. I used to run my own dog-sitting business in the neighborhood where I grew up. I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. It was a rewarding experience that helped me build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I’ve also cared for cats and other small animals, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care as if they were my own. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to care for dogs before work, after work, and throughout the weekends. On weekdays, your dog will receive plenty of attention in the mornings and evenings, and if boarding with me, they’ll have the companionship of my friendly dog during the day. I’m also available for overnight stays, boarding on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, giving your pet plenty of love, exercise, and personalized care while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets become part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine by following feeding schedules, providing walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of companionship. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality and needs to ensure they receive the best possible care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“Rhinesca took great care of our guy while we were away. We received updates on his daily walks and he was so happy. We were worried he would not want to come home. In the future we will certainly book another stay.”
“Chulmin & Hoyjin were amazing!! They provided us with lots of messages and pictures so we always knew our pup was doing well. Rory was obviously well taken care of and happy with her time there! Would definitely recommend booking with the two.”
“Rocio is an amazing and wonderful caregiver. She kept us updated with pictures and messages. Our dogs came back so happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Rocio and I am so glad we found her.”
“I will give Kate 10/10 I can feel when I picked up my dog ,my furry daughter had been taken care of. And she keep me updated everyday which is amazing. And my dog is old and not many Dogsitter really know how to take care of old dog due to my previous experience of dog sitter. I just rebook Kate again for my upcoming gateway family and I feel assured that my dog will feels like home with her.”
“She's super great and attentive with my dog. My dog is still a young pup and she really paid attention and was willing to do all the small things in order for the training to keep going. Will definitely be a regular!”
“Mohini was great with Lola. I reached out to her on the last scheduled day saying I needed her to keep Lola an extra day and she said that would not be a problem. She also shared multiple photos of how Lola was doing. Thanks again Mohini”
“Tae is an excellent dog sitter! Our pup Loki has separation anxiety, but took to Tae quickly and seemed to settle in very nicely. Tae was great with communications, and sent frequent updates and pictures, so we were completely at ease while we were away. Thank you so much! We and Loki appreciate your care!”
“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”
“Our experience with Mary was EXCELLENT. We had to leave Royal with her for the first time while on vacation because our regular dog sitter was unavailable. Of course we were anxious. Well, she made us feel very safe leaving Royal. She sent us regular updates. She kept him on his feeding and walking schedules. Most of all, Royal was HAPPY. She was caring and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs, not just sits for the money. I will be using Mary in the future and if anyone needs an EXCEPTIONAL dog sitter do not hesitate to use Mary. Your dog will be on vacation while you are too!. I highly recommend her without reservation.”
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”

About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets—from energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet, gentle seniors. My experience spans every stage of a cat’s life: Kitten Care: I’ve assisted with newborn litters, from bottle/supplement feeding to early litter box training and basic social habits. Active Adults: I have extensive experience with daily routines—including interactive play and consistent feeding schedules. Senior & End-of-Life Care: Seniors hold a deeply special place in my heart (I’ve lovingly adopted two of my own since 2020!). I’ve also provided compassionate end-of-life care for seniors, prioritizing comfort, gentle routines, and peace of mind during tender transitions. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or soft, quiet companionship, I’ll treat them with the exact same love, patience, and devotion I give my own!
“Andrew was a very last minute booking as my family member whom usually keeps an eye on TIMO has been sick and I was taking a multi day trip and needed someone to keep an eye on TIMO (he loves play time and companionship!). I met Andrew on the morning that I was leaving and agreed to keep an eye on him. He dropped by later that afternoon to start his sessions and Timo welcomed him in. Each time Andrew came back Timo would welcome him at the door and was looking forward to playtime! Also Andrew would send timely communications and pictures and usually a short video clip of playtime 🐱and usually would stay a tad extra each time! Additionally there was one day that Timo pulled out a power cable connecting his water fountain feeder and thermostat and he was able to identify the source and plug it back in. I’m so very happy TIMO was able to warm up to Andrew quickly and would highly recommend for anyone looking for the care of their cat .. with care as if it was his own pet. Also, Timo wants to thank Andrew for bringing him a new toy and genuinely loving playtime every day. Thank you 😸”
“Diana and Andrew were so friendly and helpful! They took wonderful care of our two cats with check-ins to make sure they were fed, hydrated, and clean. They also helped out around our home, bringing in packages and mail. Diana always took great pictures for the Rover cards and gave us detailed updates. It was so nice to know our cats were in good hands while we were gone for a week! Thank you for taking excellent care of our fur babies! :)”
About: I grew up with a senior Yorkie and learned to be reliable, patient, and attentive. I provide personalized care for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets needing extra support. My time is mostly open but I am available on weekdays during the morning and afternoon. Weekends saturday and Sunday can be free and evening if needed. Our apartment has a private fenced dog park that we are able to enter. I am also able to follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure.

“Amanda went above and beyond caring for our elderly cat during our vacation. Responsible, caring, and attentive to our pet. Would highly recommend her and would definately use her service again.”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals—including cats, rabbits, gerbils, and turtles—sparked my lifelong love for pets. I had a cat for 17 years and am now the proud owner of three cats of my own! Over the years, I’ve also cared for neighbors’ cats, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners were away. As a cat owner, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m committed to providing patient, dependable, and loving care tailored to each cat, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Anna was great with my Pookie! She sent updates daily and made sure my kitty was comfortable and got her daily feedings. I would highly recommend and will be booking with her again the future. Pookie was very happy with her stay!”
“Janeth was awesome with our cat Petunia! From the very first communication, she was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet. She was flexible as we finalized the dates of our trip and she sent pictures from every drop in visit. I can tell Petunia was well cared for and I won't hesitate to book with Janeth again the next time we go away. Thanks again!”
About: Though it's been some time, I gained hands-on experience caring for my grandmother’s Golden Retriever when I was younger (ages 6-12). I handled everything from feeding and playtime to washing and general care. This early experience taught me responsibility and a deep understanding of dogs' needs. My background in caregiving and fitness also adds to my ability to provide attentive, active care, ensuring every dog feels loved and well-cared-for. As a second-year Physical Therapy student at the University of Washington, I'm currently on break with no classes, giving me ample time to dedicate to pet care. This break allows me to be flexible and fully available to assist with your dog care needs, ensuring your pet gets the attention and care they deserve! While I don't currently have a pet myself, my experience as a personal trainer and future Physical Therapist has taught me the importance of care, attention, and empathy. Just as I prioritize the well-being of my clients, I bring that same level of dedication to caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure that each dog receives personalized care, tailored to their unique needs, much like I do with my human clients.
“Allison came to visit our cats once a day while we were away for a long weekend. The cats seemed to have a nice time and were all in good spirits when we returned. She followed our instructions and reached out with any questions.”
About: I have over two years of professional pet care experience working for Animal Loving Care (ALC) in New York City. During my time there, I worked as a dog walker, pet sitter, and in the dog daycare department, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. The company even invited me to return after I moved to New Jersey, which I consider one of the greatest compliments to my work. I now provide reliable, loving, and personalized pet care in New Jersey. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My availability: • House Sitting (Client’s Home): I am available on weekends to stay with your pet throughout the day and evening. I return early the following morning to continue their routine, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, meals, and playtime. • Boarding in My Home: I can welcome pets into my home any day of the week, as long as they are friendly and comfortable around young children. • Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I am available seven days a week for walks, feeding, potty breaks, medication (if needed), playtime, and companionship. Depending on the time of day, I can accommodate visits with or without my son, depending on the schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first booking so you and your pet can get to know me. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own.
“Katie has been a wonderful sitter for my cats! She was easy to reach and very responsive. She even agreed to an emergency visit when my cat toppled the water fountain over. I was able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing she’s looking after my babies :) Thank you, Katie!”
“Alexandra was just wonderful. She understood my cats and gave the best of care. She sent me pictures daily accompanied by funny tidbits about them. She stayed in my home for two weeks and when she left it looked exactly as it was when she arrived. I was so grateful for her superb care and kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Amazing experience! Our dog Duke clearly had a great time and was comfortable. Both Chulmin and Hoyjin were so attentive and caring. They constantly provided updates! Would highly recommend”
“Thank you to Amarys and her family for taking such great care of my babies! She kept me updated throughout the day, was very responsive, and sent me lots of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. She followed all of my instructions and spent plenty of time playing with my dogs. I’m so happy I found the right person. I’ve already booked another daycare with her and can’t wait to see her again!”
“Catherine was quick to take in Cub and help us. She asked a few questions so she knows how to take better care of Cub which we truly appreciate. She’s responsive and was flexible with the drop-off and pick-up as traffic can be unpredictable. She was attentive to Cub’s needs and made sure to take him with her for walks to the park — even to a cafe. Her baby Cashew is a sweet dog who welcomed Cub in their home warmly. She definitely understands dogs and love them. We are satisfied and are confident with Catherine’s care and would book her again to care for Cub. Thanks so much for, Catherine, for everything!”
About: I work from home and have been around dogs my entire life. Our dogs are like children to us. Now, as we work from home and have a big yard, we have the ideal setup for happy, safe dogs—and want to share it with your fur baby! - We’ve raised our 3-year-old mini poodle to be a happy, gentle and well-rounded pup. She loves to play and cuddle, and gets along very well with other dogs and the occasional cat! - Our home is very loving and safe. Someone is always around to give cuddles and love, plenty of cozy places to hang out, and hazards are always out of reach. - We have a fully fenced, big backyard with tennis balls and frisbees where your beloved fur baby can get out all their zoomies frequently and safely. It's also covered in shade, so don't worry about hot summer days! - We don't anticipate anything happening, but just in case, rest assured because our home is only *one block* away from an excellent animal hospital! - We’ll do our best to make sure that your little buddy will feel loved and at home here, getting the same level of care and cuddles you like to provide to them. - We’ve had senior dogs and a dog with diabetes, so we are very careful and will always give attention to detail to adapt to their needs, whether it be diet, exercise, attention, or anything else. - We will keep you updated with photos and videos so you know they’re safe and having a good time. - ¡Se habla español! Si tu perrito se siente más cómodo que le hable en español, solo díganos cuáles comandos utilizan. It’s hard to find someone to trust with your pet; we have found this out the hard way. So I hope our home can become a place you can rely on and feel safe leaving your little bundle. Note: Because we want everyone to have a good, safe time, it’s our policy to always do a meet-and-greet for all new clients to make sure our dog and yours get along well! Because we work from home, we are available at home to take care of your little buddy full time for boarding and daycare at our home. A fully-enclosed, shaded backyard for zoomies and lots of walks around our safe, dog-friendly, and tree-lined neighborhood. Your fur baby will be under our supervision throughout the day and will get frequent trips to the yard and lots of time to play. We're also happy to walk your dog as often as you need. We’re always happy to be flexible with your schedule to accommodate both your and your dog’s needs.
“Jinghong is a very caring sitter. My dog Bacon fell in love with her starting from meet and greet. Bacon was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. It was obvious he was happy and comfortable during his stay. Thank you for treating him with such care—I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to others!”
“Can’t say enough good things about the way Andrew took care of Conor. Great setting and logistics to accommodate Conor’s needs and safety… crazy amount of exercise and on top of that Andrew shared tips at the end of the day to improve Conor’s overall behaviour. 100/10”
“Denise was excellent! She took great care of my dog by making sure he was slowly introduced to her own dogs, gave him lots of space to play, and gave thorough report cards. She was very personable and was available for my family at the last minute. Thank you, Denise!”
“Karla was super responsive and very accommodating! She accepted our request immediately and took care of pup like he was her own. He even came back to us with a printed holiday photo! Definitely recommend and will use again. Thank you!!”
“Cody had another wonderful stay with Linda- and we had great peace of mind. She sent many pictures and he looked happy and content. I’m so glad to have linda to take Cody when we visit ( non dog friendly) family near here!”
“Sherrie was great! Super nice and accommodating, she was able to watch our pup Zoe on Christmas on short notice. Zoe had a wonderful day with Sherrie and her doodles, and even came home with some homemade Christmas treats! 🎄😊”

“I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! I needed help on very short notice with my newly adopted dog, and she was amazing. She was so patient and understanding with him during this big transition. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and the updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets—from energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet, gentle seniors. My experience spans every stage of a pet’s life: Puppy & Kitten Care: I’ve assisted with newborn litters, from bottle/supplement feeding to early litter box training and basic social habits. Active Adults: I have extensive experience with daily routines—interactive play, consistent feeding schedules, and plenty of long walks for dogs of all sizes. Senior & End-of-Life Care: Seniors hold a deeply special place in my heart (I’ve lovingly adopted two of my own since 2020!). I’ve also provided compassionate end-of-life care for a senior lab, prioritizing comfort, gentle routines, and peace of mind during tender transitions.

“Diana and Andrew are great with my puppy. They are reliable and trustworthy. I was very comfortable having them with my puppy who is six months old. They took her for her walk and also gave her play and cuddles which she loves. They also sent me multiple photos. Will definitely be rebooking with them.”
About: As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and clear communication are part of my everyday life, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, whether they love long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, follow care instructions carefully, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. During the summer I am working less hours I am available Monday- Friday after 3 pm and the weekends I am free all day. Caring for my own two dogs is already part of my daily routine, so looking after other pets fits in naturally. For dog walks, I make sure each walk matches your dog's energy level and routine, whether they enjoy a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. During drop-in visits I am capable of doing anything that is needed to care for your dogs needs.
About: From belly rubs to insulin shots, I’ve got it covered! I’m a pet-loving pro who treats every fur baby like royalty—tails wag, whiskers purr! 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my day—I’m organized, nurturing, and attentive, so feeding, playtime, and check-ins become meaningful, consistent parts of my daily rhythm. 🐾 I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe and seen. With patience, routine, and care, I build trust and treat them like family. 🐾
“I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous about hiring a dog walker to watch my pup when we went on vacation. My guy is a little more high maintenance than other dogs. He’s not the biggest fan of strangers and other dogs so I knew I needed to make sure I hired the right person for the job. Hiring Scarlet turned out to be the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made. Her communication was fantastic, always letting us know how he was and what her timing was going to be. Things went so well I’m going to be scheduling weekly walks just so they can hang out/see each other on a regular basis. 5 STARS!!!”
About: I've had many pets in my life, I've raised 3 dogs and have two cats. I've given basic training to my cats and given senior care to many a dog. I'm in school virtually so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule and am open to traveling for services. Owning cats also allows me to be free in case of emergencies (they are really understanding). My railroad style apartment was decorated with two frisky kittens in mind so my place is pretty tamper proof. It's easy to isolate them from the rest of the space when (or if) introducing guests and easy to navigate for them with adequate space for play/sleep/snacking or whatever their little hearts desire.
“Xavier was great! He was on time and patient. I have two dogs with special needs and Xavier took care of them with no issue. He sent plenty of pictures and they clearly were very well taken care of. He was communicative and very helpful!”
About: My family and I had dogs and cats our whole lives and truly treat every pet like family. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and senior pets. I provide a safe, loving environment with frequent potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. Pets are allowed to be themselves in my home and lay where they feel comfortable. I have 2 children who literally fall in love with every pet they see so they will provide tons of love and affection. My setting includes dog park, doggy bath room and beautiful lake for calming walks. I am the owner of my own business that I run from home. I work around my own schedule and pets actually add beneficial value to my clients. I live in a very safe gated community with dog park and fenced lake. Your pet will be with me the entire time. Just like my road dog :) I have an SUV that I easily have transported many animals in safely.
About: I have over two years of professional pet care experience working for Animal Loving Care (ALC) in New York City. During my time there, I worked as a dog walker, pet sitter, and in the dog daycare department, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. The company even invited me to return after I moved to New Jersey, which I consider one of the greatest compliments to my work. I now provide reliable, loving, and personalized pet care in New Jersey. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My availability: • House Sitting (Client’s Home): I am available on weekends to stay with your pet throughout the day and evening. I return early the following morning to continue their routine, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, meals, and playtime. • Boarding in My Home: I can welcome pets into my home any day of the week, as long as they are friendly and comfortable around young children. • Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I am available seven days a week for walks, feeding, potty breaks, medication (if needed), playtime, and companionship. Depending on the time of day, I can accommodate visits with or without my son, depending on the schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first booking so you and your pet can get to know me. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own. I am a stay-at-home mom raising my two and a half year old son. I am available full time to care for your pet, taking him/her for walks, feeding it, and playing with them. We live in an apartment, but we have parks nearby, and there is plenty of green space right downstairs. My son is a calm child, and he likes animals. He doesn't hit, bite, or scratch, neither the animals nor us.
About: I've taken care of pets for a long time, a long 15 years, and I'm dedicated to helping your baby out, because our pets are our families. I work part time, and have a larger apartment with tons of yard and plenty of enrichment time! I will be home majority of the day as well! I have a large fence for my own dogs and have spare bowls and dog/cat food if that is necessary. I also have tools for brushing and cleaning!!
“I needed a dog-sitting service last minute, and Angela came through in a big way! She was super responsive and made sure my dog was well taken care of despite the short notice. I got updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. My dog seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch!”

“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos.

“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”

“Kevin and his wife are amazing! They were able to watch Sadie for a long weekend even though it was last minute. Sadie is super shy and they were so patient with her while she took her time to warm up. Having Bubbles there helped her so much and they became absolute besties! Overall I felt really good knowing that Sadie was safe and comfortable with them :)”
“Andrew was the best person we could have chosen to watch over our Pup! We were away for a little over a week and we have a very big and very playful and stubborn 1 year old Rottie. We were so nervous about leaving him and having limited cell service during our trip but our worries were immediately at ease once our pup met Andrew. He was instantly drawn to him. Once we left, Andrew Kept us updated EVERYDAY with pictures, videos and messages. He Kept Ash super active with his runs and Ash was SO happy and could not stop playing! He worked with him on so many things and kept his mind busy and happy! We are beyond grateful to him! He was so patient and loving and we were able to really enjoy our trip with peace of mind and that, is priceless! We will definitely be choosing him to watch Ash again!”
“Lauren was awesome and patient with our lovable giant GSD. She was so patient and listen to all of the details concerning his care. She was also very observant, and gave us good advice on further care. We highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Amanda was absolutely incredible with my mini poodle Mia! It was the longest Mia and I were apart (a three week stay), but I felt incredibly connected to her through the daily updates and checkins Amanda provided. She gave Mia extra love and specialized food when Mia got a little stomach bug during the stay. I highly recommend Amanda's care for your pet!”
