“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”
“I never worry at all when we leave our young dog with Bob. He truly treats him like he was his own. Very attentive and accommodating. He has a wonderful fenced in yard where our pup can run around to his heart content without fear of getting out. Our Teddy is very social and Bob arranges some play dates with neighboring dogs which is great. Bob always sends pics and updates us throughout the stay. I highly recommend Bob for a stress free time away knowing your pet will be in very good hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“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.”
“This was Jack's first stay at Dawn's place. It was wonderful! During his stay, he made a new friend and enjoyed himself. Dawn kept us updated every day with pictures and other updates on Jack's activities. We would definitely use Dawn again in the future.”
“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”
“If we could give William 10 stars we would. Our Frenchie Rosie is a handful. She's a VELCRO dog that loves attention and needs to be by your side 24/7. She even got to sleep on "Uncle Bills" bed. He has a lot a patience. His dog Whiskey is extremely friendly, as well as the other dog in his care. There's a lot of room inside and out. Rosie came home happy, healthy and exhausted from her first 3 day vacation. We looking forward to seeing him again.”
“Susana is a warm kind person, she welcomed our 10 year old staffy cooper into her home and took such great care of him. great communication, lovely home, i would highly recommended Susana.”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! The greatest compliment I have received is that it's obvious how much I love the animals I work with. I have quite literally never enjoyed showing up to work as much as I do now. Thank you all for trusting me with your babies and your homes-- I do not take that responsibility lightly. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“We couldn't be happier with the care Jaime provided for our dog, Maggie! This was Maggie’s first time away from home, and since she is very fearful outside of her usual surroundings, we were nervous about how she would adjust. Jaime was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to make sure Maggie felt safe and comfortable. She truly cared about Maggie’s well-being, helping her acclimate to a new environment with both people and pets. It was amazing to see Maggie grow to trust Jaime enough to sit and even sleep near her! We are so grateful for Jaime’s kindness and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive pet sitter.”
“Maureen always takes such wonderful care of our fur baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie feels loved and happy. We’re so grateful for her kindness.”

About: I was born and raised with my childhood cat and took care of her until she passed when she was seventeen. I've cared for neighbor's elderly cats throughout the years as well as got a new cat named Stevie two years ago as a kitten.
“maribeth is amazing! samoas was so excited to see her and absolutely loved their walk around the development. she does a great job staying in touch and providing updates throughout the visit. i highly recommend her if you ever need a sitter, especially for last minute help!”

“Jenniffer was wonderful with Blackie! She gave him lots of attention, which he really needed while we were away. She was very neat and everything was in good order when we came home.”
“Dawn is warm, communicative, reliable, and thorough. I immediately knew my boys were in good and safe hands. Love the updates and pictures, and effort to meet my boys’ very particular dietary needs. She goes above and beyond to take good care and ease our minds while we’re away from home, and travel is now a lot less stressful for us.”
“Alley is everything we needed in a pet sitter: attentive, responsive, and caring. She really got to know our cats and did a great job looking after them and cleaning up after them too.”
“Wonderful!!! Ive been doing Rover as a sitter for a few years, but this was the first time we needed a sitter ourselves. We were so nervous but Kim was AWESOME!!! Very attentive and sweet. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”
About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers and from an early age I learned how to care for them with attention, patience, and affection. Being around animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. I also lived for two years with a host family as an au pair, where I was responsible for the household, the children, the family cat, and daily routines. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility, organization, and reliability, especially when caring for both people and animals. Through this experience, I developed strong habits when it comes to maintaining a home, following routines, and handling responsibilities with care and consistency. I am someone homeowners can trust to respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and communicate clearly when needed. I will treat your home and your cats with the same attention, respect, and affection I would give my own.
“Bridget was very quick to respond and extremely accommodating! She took many pictures of my cat and asked to adjust the thermostat to ensure he was comfortable! Thank you Bridget!”
“Dominique was amazing with our cat who is not normally great with new people! In the past we had a bad experience with a different sitter, and Dominique was very reassuring that she would take very good care of our cat (which she did!) I would absolutely rebook her in the future!!”
“We have used Jamie several times now as a sitter for our 2 cats and she always does a wonderful job! The cats are always happy, healthy, and well taken care of upon our returns. Jamie also follows all care directions meticulously which is a big relief when we need to be out of town. Thank you Jamie!”
About: I don’t just watch cats—I care for them with the same attention and affection I give to my own. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve also worked professionally with a pet-sitting company, where I gained hands-on experience with cats of every temperament, age, and personality. I understand that cats thrive when their routines feel safe and predictable, so I make it a priority to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat is shy, senior, playful, or a certified lap-lover, I adapt to their pace and comfort level. I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and topical treatments, and I’m patient with senior kitties who may need a little extra support. Cleanliness is also incredibly important to me—I keep litter boxes spotless, food areas tidy, and your home as neat (or neater!) than you left it. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy building trust with cats. I take time to talk to them, play with them, and make sure they never feel lonely while you’re away. My goal is that you come home to a relaxed, happy cat—and complete peace of mind.
“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”
“Alyssa was amazing with my two kitties! I was so worried about leaving them with someone I didn’t know, but she was easy to communicate with and sent updates/pictures throughout their stay. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use her in the future when I leave town.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Matawan
“William was great we would personally use him again and highly recommend him. His pre-booking communication was awesome. During the stay he kept in contact with us letting us know how Hairy was doing and provided pictures throughout the stay.”
“Evgenii was very responsive and reliable. I booked last minute and he communicated with me before I dropped my dog off and sent me messages and pictures when I checked in. I highly recommend Evgenii.”
“William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.
“Kevin was fantastic to work with! He was communicative, respectful, conscientious of my needs, accommodating, and frankly such a caring individual. He helped me plan an out of state visit, was flexible concerning the timing, and best of all tired out my dog by the end of the trip. I would absolutely book with Kevin again!”
About: My husband and I both grew up with several dogs in our homes as children, and while we have no children of our own, our fur baby is a ten month old Shih-Poo, whose name is "Reesie". Reesie is the sweetest boy, who loves to cuddle, play, and run outside in the dog park! I'm currently a stay at home fur mom, and typically take our pup for walks every few hours! My husband and I take him to a park several nights a week after dinner to allow him time to exercise and play! There is a fenced in dog park here at our apartment complex, and we are willing to adapt to your pup's needs if a crate is necessary.
“Sarah was so great! She took wonderful care of Lady and was very easy to get in touch with. She bonded with Lady quickly and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend her if you ever need a dog sitter, walker, etc. Thank you Sarah!”

“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”
About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs.

“Lorrie was fantastic with my dog Stevie! I could tell from our meet and greet that she is very knowledgeable about dogs. My dog is very scared of people he doesn’t know and hates when people approach him. Lorrie took her time, letting Stevie get comfortable and reading his body language when he needed space. Then, at his first daycare, Lorrie was extremely communicative with me, sending lots of pictures and videos about how Stevie was acclimating. So excited to use her daycare services again!”
“Dawn is the best! Benny is our first ever pup as a family, so we were very nervous leaving him for the first time overnight, but Dawn took care of our dog with exceptional care and love. Communication was great from the start. She is responsive, provides regular updates, sends adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away from him, and even gave our puppy a bone to play with that helped with his teething problem. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially ours ☺️ and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”

“Cordelia has been a wonderful dog walker for Pepper. She is very reliable, puntual, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Pepper always barks when someone is at the door but not with her, she is happy to see her! She communicates with us all the time, send us pics and it’s very flexible! I highly recommend her.”
“Maria was great at following instructions for feeding and walking . She communicated promptly about her timing and availability. And my dog warmed up to her right away . I would definitely use her dog walking service again.”

“So damn fortunate to have found Bianca. As pet owners, everyone is familiar with the apprehension that accompanies when you have to trust a stranger with your pets or like I say “Your Heart and Soul”. My boys are uber spoiled and Bianca’s level of patience with them….I couldn’t ask for anything more. She is communicative, punctual, extremely professional. She took the time to truly listen and understand Buddy and Brody’s personalities - their likes and dislikes - their joys and anxieties. As a pet owner, one can’t ask for anything more. The only aspect that behooves me is why does she not charge more for her services? Lol. All kidding aside, she is a Godsend for pet owners. B, once again thank you for you.”
“Jenniffer did so great with my pup! He can be really shy and she was able to help him come out of his shell and go for a good walk. So thankful to her!! A true dog whisperer.”

“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“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.”
“This was Jack's first stay at Dawn's place. It was wonderful! During his stay, he made a new friend and enjoyed himself. Dawn kept us updated every day with pictures and other updates on Jack's activities. We would definitely use Dawn again in the future.”
“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”
“If we could give William 10 stars we would. Our Frenchie Rosie is a handful. She's a VELCRO dog that loves attention and needs to be by your side 24/7. She even got to sleep on "Uncle Bills" bed. He has a lot a patience. His dog Whiskey is extremely friendly, as well as the other dog in his care. There's a lot of room inside and out. Rosie came home happy, healthy and exhausted from her first 3 day vacation. We looking forward to seeing him again.”
“Susana is a warm kind person, she welcomed our 10 year old staffy cooper into her home and took such great care of him. great communication, lovely home, i would highly recommended Susana.”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! The greatest compliment I have received is that it's obvious how much I love the animals I work with. I have quite literally never enjoyed showing up to work as much as I do now. Thank you all for trusting me with your babies and your homes-- I do not take that responsibility lightly. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“We couldn't be happier with the care Jaime provided for our dog, Maggie! This was Maggie’s first time away from home, and since she is very fearful outside of her usual surroundings, we were nervous about how she would adjust. Jaime was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to make sure Maggie felt safe and comfortable. She truly cared about Maggie’s well-being, helping her acclimate to a new environment with both people and pets. It was amazing to see Maggie grow to trust Jaime enough to sit and even sleep near her! We are so grateful for Jaime’s kindness and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive pet sitter.”
“Maureen always takes such wonderful care of our fur baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie feels loved and happy. We’re so grateful for her kindness.”
“Elvis, our Cavapoo puppy, had a lovely time at Yvette’s! Elvis was well taken care of at her place. She sent us videos and photo updates throughout the stay and even baked cookies doggie for him. He went for a long walk and loved it. He had the best time and he was so happy there thank you so much could not recommend it highly enough. He got so much love and attention ….We will be back soon!!!”

“So happy to have found Kayla and her family for my pup, I was nervous as my dog has never been away from home more than a day, as I was getting picture updates I can see my pup getting progressively happier with each day. Getting pics with my dog and her kids was so sweet. I don't have her away from me often but if i ever need someone to watch over her I know she will be well taking care of and I know I can enjoy my time away without worries. Thank you again!”
“I highly recommend Anmol and Trupti! From the moment we met, I felt confident that Ollie would be in excellent hands. Trupti was exceptionally reliable and professional, paying meticulous attention to every detail of Ollie’s care. She kept me informed with regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was traveling far from home. Trupti followed all of my instructions perfectly, from feeding and administering medication to managing playtime, walks, and mealtimes. When I returned, Ollie was happy, healthy, and content. It was clear that Trupti had formed a genuine bond with our dog and treated him with the same love and care that we would. Trupti is an outstanding dog sitter who combines expertise with heartfelt care. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, attentive, and truly passionate about dogs, look no further. We’ll definitely be calling on Trupti and Anmol again for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Bhavani handles puppies like a pet owner with care and affection. Bhavani took great care of Benny. She regularly sent pics and videos, which was very reassuring. She spent time playing with him and made sure he was well cared for throughout. I especially appreciated how she helped Benny socialize—he was happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”
