Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hackettstown
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hackettstown
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“Aleja was great! This was our first time leaving Lucy with somebody that wasn’t a family or friend. I was so nervous at first, but. Aleja sent me frequent updates and pictures. It made me feel so much better to see her so happy in all the pictures. It definitely put me at ease. I will definitely use Aleja again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! It is clear how much Joanne truly cares for animals. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups—and that peace of mind is priceless! She kept me updated, was easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely loving toward animals.”
“Max arrived an earthquake in an eclipse while in her care. Everything went wonderfully. He's such a sweet dog and had such a good time with all the other dogs. Everything really well. We're so happy to have our little dog back in such good condition.”
“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”
“We were nervous about leaving our anxious, 2yr. old Bernadoodle, Rosie, with strangers, but Yanni's responsiveness and friendly nature put us at ease. Her home looked clean and well maintained. Throughout our weekend away, Yanni sent us updates with adorable photos, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands. We appreciated that she was taken on several walks. While Rosie is not playful with other dogs and prefers humans, I'm glad that she had some time with Yanni's dogs. We would not hesitate to send Rosie there again, and we're grateful she has a place to go!”
“Elia was the perfect match for my dog Mya. From her communication, personality, kindness, and overall love for my dog. I felt in good hands. Will be using her again. She is a blessing and highly recommend to anyone.”
About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience as a dog and cat mom, along with 5+ years as a professional dog walker and caregiver. I absolutely love animals and take so much joy in giving them a safe, loving, and enriching experience while you’re away. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here - they’ll be on their own little adventure! I live on 900 acres of beautiful land and spend my days walking, hiking, and exploring with my dogs. It’s the perfect environment for pups who love fresh air, movement, and nature. I offer care in my home and am also happy to travel to pick up your dog for your convenience. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time here feel like a second home 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely from home. The combination of my flexible schedule and working from home allows me the ability to come pick up your pup if needed, and host in my home! It is important for me to spend quality time with my pets and I would provide the same love and quality time with your fur-babies! We have a fenced in yard as well as 900 acres for leashed walks as well. Safety and security are very important to me when it comes to my pets, so it would be important for your babies as well. I like to keep an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs. Your pup(s) would absolutely be included on these outdoor adventures! My goal is for your pet to have fun, and for you to have peace of mind while you're working or away.
“100/10 recommend Scott! For our first time leaving our dog, cooper, with a sitter, I could not have felt more at ease! He really treated him like one of his own pets and kept me updated daily!”
“During the time my Rocky spent with Vivian, she stayed in communication with me on a regular basis, and showed Rocky the same attention and affection that he would have received at home. Vivian is trustworthy, and my Rocky had a great stay with her. I highly recommend her dog sitting service.”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Sabita has just been the best! I have used Rover before and had my cat boarded by another member. Sabita has proven to be way more communicative and given way more personalized care and attention to my little buddy. She sent multiple pictures, twice a day, showing him eatting, playing and relaxing: all with much content on his face. I was worried he may not want to come home. She followed all his medication and food instruction to the letter and made sure she showered him in attention. He had his own room and was treated like a true guest in her home. I highly advise using Sabita for all your cat boarding needs. She is also a lot more reasonably priced then some members on this app, without sacrificing the experience or service. I will definitely be reaching out for her services for my future needs!”
“Christina was AMAZING! Our dog Rhodey had such a great time and she took care of him very well. We had boarded him for 5 days and he got so much love & cuddles during that time. She was a pleasure to communicate with, always responding quickly and providing details when needed. She even sent him home with a little gift! She's so sweet and kind, I would highly recommend her for any pet related service!! Was a true pleasure and will definitely hire her again :)”
“Karina was so sweet with our dog for his overnight stay! From the looks of all the adorable pictures she sent, he was treated just like a member of the family! Thank you again, Preston looks forward to coming back soon!”
“Megan was so sweet with our dog and put us all right at ease. She made sure to send updates and photos we with updates every day. Our dog was so comfortable and spoiled at her home, got lots of snuggles and walks. I'm not sure he wanted to leave! Would definitely book with her again!”

“Faith was an exceptional dog sitter who exceeded all expectations. She was punctual every day, ensuring that our pups received consistent care and attention. Faith dedicated 30 minutes each day to sit with the dogs while they did their business, showing her commitment to their well-being.

She played with her to tire her out, was very considerate about timing walks to assure Sage was never overheated, and sent photos of my very happy looking pup! I was so worried that Sage would be upset about the first time that we left her for nearly the whole day, but Kate completely eased this worry as she messaged me with frequent updated and I saw how much fun Sage had with her. By the time I got home, she was still sleepy from the exciting day, but happy as a pup could be. Thank you so much Kate!!”

We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet.

“Tanuj was absolutely wonderful with our Dog, Rondo! My husband and I both work long hours and I needed to be out of town for business, and had hired Tanuj to walk Rondo 2x daily/ check in on Rondo. Tanuj went above and beyond merely taking our pup for a walk! I received tons of pics of a very happy Dog, and Tanuj was so kind to play a bit with him after their walks as well as pick up after him. Tanuj has a very calm and patient demeanor, which Rondo responded very well to! Tanuj was extremely thorough, providing a Rover card for each visit with walk details, as well as a full report on how Rondo was doing. These cards truly put my mind at ease, as I was out of the country and several hours ahead and wasn’t able to check in with Tanuj on a regular basis. The Rover cards were helpful as I knew everything was going ok with his visits. It was also nice seeing those little cards with super cute pictures of Rondo having fun with his new walk buddy! Tanuj is the only person I would trust to care for my dog in the future - I look forward to hiring him back for future Walks and for dog sitting as well!! Highly recommend Tanuj!”

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

“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“Max arrived an earthquake in an eclipse while in her care. Everything went wonderfully. He's such a sweet dog and had such a good time with all the other dogs. Everything really well. We're so happy to have our little dog back in such good condition.”
“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”
About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience as a dog and cat mom, along with 5+ years as a professional dog walker and caregiver. I absolutely love animals and take so much joy in giving them a safe, loving, and enriching experience while you’re away. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here - they’ll be on their own little adventure! I live on 900 acres of beautiful land and spend my days walking, hiking, and exploring with my dogs. It’s the perfect environment for pups who love fresh air, movement, and nature. I offer care in my home and am also happy to travel to pick up your dog for your convenience. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time here feel like a second home 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely from home. The combination of my flexible schedule and working from home allows me the ability to come pick up your pup if needed, and host in my home! It is important for me to spend quality time with my pets and I would provide the same love and quality time with your fur-babies! We have a fenced in yard as well as 900 acres for leashed walks as well. Safety and security are very important to me when it comes to my pets, so it would be important for your babies as well. I like to keep an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs. Your pup(s) would absolutely be included on these outdoor adventures! My goal is for your pet to have fun, and for you to have peace of mind while you're working or away.
“100/10 recommend Scott! For our first time leaving our dog, cooper, with a sitter, I could not have felt more at ease! He really treated him like one of his own pets and kept me updated daily!”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Sabita has just been the best! I have used Rover before and had my cat boarded by another member. Sabita has proven to be way more communicative and given way more personalized care and attention to my little buddy. She sent multiple pictures, twice a day, showing him eatting, playing and relaxing: all with much content on his face. I was worried he may not want to come home. She followed all his medication and food instruction to the letter and made sure she showered him in attention. He had his own room and was treated like a true guest in her home. I highly advise using Sabita for all your cat boarding needs. She is also a lot more reasonably priced then some members on this app, without sacrificing the experience or service. I will definitely be reaching out for her services for my future needs!”
“Christina was AMAZING! Our dog Rhodey had such a great time and she took care of him very well. We had boarded him for 5 days and he got so much love & cuddles during that time. She was a pleasure to communicate with, always responding quickly and providing details when needed. She even sent him home with a little gift! She's so sweet and kind, I would highly recommend her for any pet related service!! Was a true pleasure and will definitely hire her again :)”
“Megan was so sweet with our dog and put us all right at ease. She made sure to send updates and photos we with updates every day. Our dog was so comfortable and spoiled at her home, got lots of snuggles and walks. I'm not sure he wanted to leave! Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I will gladly help with your dog, and hopefully, it will also work well for mine. I have a seven-year-old English Springer Spaniel who will enjoy the company. Make sure to submit proof of valid vaccination to the sitter RABIES/BORDETELLA/DISTEMPER. Like a family member who needs time, it also depends on the size and habits of your pet and the daily needs of your pupil.

“Samantha was just great with my two big babies. My boy Pilgrim has to take medication nightly and she made sure to know all about it and when to give it. She asks for detailed info on your pet(s) so she can tailor their experience closely to their normal routine. She kept me informed on how they were doing and sent cute pics of them. Highly recommend her!”
“Tracey did such a great job taking care of my maltipoo.I was very nervous, having someone outside of a family member watch him.She was patient, kept me updated with photos. She put me at ease that he would be fine. I would recommend her!”
“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”
“This was our trial run overnight stay for a longer stay we have coming up. Chris lives in a lovely area with a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play and do their business. He has a cute smaller female mixed breed of his own. Our Finley over other dogs and had good playtime with her. I like that Chris only takes one doggie client at a time so that I know Finley will get the attention and care that he needs. Based on our successful overnight I am going to book Chris for our long trip. I don’t like making recommendations after only one overnight but I am confident that I will be doing just that after his next stay.”
“Recently, Kevin and Natalie took care of our dog Buddy for 2 nights. We were relieved as we knew from the beginning that our " Buddy" is in good hands. They were very patient, pleasant and reliable. Communication was great! We couldn't be happier. Thank you Kevin and Natalie!”
About: Hello!! I am an animal lover looking to help with your boarding and pet care needs. I am patient, dedicated and organized; all traits I have learned through my background as an occupational therapist. I love helping and taking care of people, as well as animals! My dachshund, Daisie, and I love spending time outside, in my spacious 9 acre property. Looking forward to treating your pet with the same love and attention I’d treat my own. My current role in healthcare gives me a lot of flexibility with my time. I am able to accommodate long boardings at my home. I am also able to accommodate additional pet care needs around my schedule. I currently have one dog, Daisie. She is a 2 year old dachshund. I believe all dogs need lots of time, love and attention. I prioritize play time, cuddle time and rest time for all pets.
