“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“This is now the 4th time Ekaterina and her family have baby sat for my girl, Loretta. Loretta is very nervous and has really bad separation anxiety. But Ekaterina and her family are always so wonderful with her! With them, I never have to worry about Loretta when my family and I go away; she is in perfect hands! I get constant updates and pictures. She’s taken for walks constantly and I get updated on it all. Ekaterina, I say this all the time, but you and your family are such a blessing to us! You are our forever sitter! ♥️”
“Vanessa is a really wonderful pet sitter. She was very thorough making sure that she understood my dog’s schedule, sleeping habits, how he tolerated the heat, etc. My dog loves attention and people and she was great about giving him tons of affection. My Maltipoo was well cared for and happy. I received regular photos and update - I highly recommend her!”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Jessie stayed with Tynesha and her family for four days. This was the first time she stayed with someone other than a family member. She sent me photos everyday and I could see that Jessie was happy and bring well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.”
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“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!”
“Amrit was fantastic! Super communicative and kind. I could tell our cat was well taken care of for the week he spent with Amrit. Amrit was also very flexible and understanding with changes in plans. HIGHLY recommend and would 1000p book with him again!”
“We felt so comfortable boarding our dog with Seureon and Dongkwan! We received tons of photo updates throughout his stay, and they were responsive and flexible whenever communicating through logistics. Our dog is very hyper, but he seemed nice and worn out from playing when we picked him up. We will be boarding our dog here again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy with Maisha. She was so great with Charlie and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the time Charlie was with her. She was very attentive and Charlie had a great time staying with her.”
“My pups loved Jessica! It was my first time using Rover for our 9 day trip and everything went so smooth. My mini doodle is usually skittish but he went right to her and from the daily photos we received, he loved cuddling and staying by her side. He had plenty of other small doggies to play with and get his energy out. Thanks Jessica for making boarding not so scary!”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Jaina was amazing with coco sent us daily updates. Coco came home happy 🙂. Jaina accommodated our last minute request to have coco before our vacation which gave us relief that coco was in great hands. Thank you we look forward to sending coco.”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”

“V was fantastic. She came over to meet our two dogs before our scheduled visit and both dogs immediately loved her. It’s clear she’s a dog lover! We will absolutely be reaching out again in the future”
About: Love all types of fur babies! And ready to take care of yours like it’s my own. My boyfriend and I have our own shelter with 13 dogs and 6 cats at our farm in Colombia. Ready to stay active and go on a run or give them all the pets they need and let them nap! Up to the pup or kitty!
“Gabrielle watched our four cats for a week and she is amazing! Gave meds to Willow on schedule, and the reclusive Pippin made a showing. Our home and all things relating to the cats was perfectly taken care of. Gabrielle has a kind and calm nature that made our four cats comfortable. Great communicator too! Highly recommend for pet sitting!!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.
“Nicole did a fantastic job caring for our two cats (and our apartment) over the holidays! She was prompt and provided communicative updates. It’s easy to tell that she loves animals! Thanks Nicole!”
About: I make an effort to be calm when I am with and around animals in order for them to know they are safe when they’re with me. I am home from college for the summer! I have a lot of free time. Mornings, afternoons, and nights I have available and every day of the week. I’d love to walk your pet around your neighborhood. Cleanliness and organization are important to me, so I would make sure to maintain those areas of your space for your pet!
“Carlee is amazing, super responsive, responsible, and communicative! She took amazing care of our cat Praline while we were away! We are lucky to have such an amazing sitter we can trust to watch Praline!”

“Vanessa was super helpful. Cooper is a very energetic puppy.He always gets excited when meeting new people or being in a new environment, and apparently he was excited and didn't nap the entire morning, but Vanessa was very patient in taking care of him and kept me informed throughout the day by sending me the updates and photos. Cooper looked happy when he was with Vanessa and when I picked him up. I'll definitely go back to Vanessa for help in the future.”
“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”
“Isabella was great with my 2 pups. She was constantly updating me with photos and videos throughout the day. She was very accommodating. I feel comfortable leaving my pups there with her.”
“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!”
“Briaan took good care of our little girl. The meet and greet was smooth. Our dog was comfortable with Briaan. She kept us informed during the sitting. She responded fast to the message. Will come back.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats since I was born, and animals have always been a major part of my life. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared-for in your absence. I take the time to follow routines, respect training preferences, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles and fish, I have a genuine appreciation for animals of all kinds. I am very tidy and maintain a clean and safe space in my home for your pets to thrive in. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, responsibility, and respect at all times.
About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting and caring for pets of all sizes, including both large and small breeds, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I take my dog outside every 1–2 hours and would follow the same routine for your dog. I also go on 1–3 walks daily to keep dogs active, stimulated, and happy. I have a friendly French Bulldog who enjoys having other dogs around to play with. My home is well set up for visiting pets, with a designated indoor play area and two crates available (one medium and one extra-large) if crating is preferred. I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. Dogs are welcome on couches and beds so they can feel relaxed and at home during their stay. I currently work from home and have plenty of down time to play with your pets! I always take my dog out every 1-2 hours and will do the same for your pet. I also go for 1-3 walks a day to make sure your dog is staying active and happy:) I have one friendly French Bulldog that would love a friend to play with! I also have two crates, one extra large and one medium for any crating purposes if you would like. I have a play area where your dog will spend a lot of time playing. I have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can also play. Your dog is allowed on couches and beds so they feel at home and comfortable.
“Geo was wonderful to work with. She is caring, reliable, and very flexible with pickup and drop-off arrangements, which was a huge help when I had a family function to attend. Her positive energy and confidence gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her and would gladly hire her again.”
“Veeru had a great time at Melanie’s. When he came home, he was tired from the fun day he had. Melanie was great to work with, she was very comfortable with large size dog and handled Veeru well. Would highly recommend her.”
“Oscar & Emmy had a great time & got loads of attention & love from Linda! Could not ask for more, she treated them like her own & was so warm & welcoming that they were immediately comfortable and made themselves at home. I received adorable pics & updates that made smile! Thanks for being so great!!”
“Kayla was an amazing sitter. She was responsive and sent us pictures throughout the day. She even spent extra time and energy to help me fit my dog's huge crate into my car! Would definitely recommend.”

“Anthony’s been a huge help with my high-energy and leash-reactive GSP. They’ve really hit it off, and my pup’s taken quite a liking to him. Anthony’s reliable, keeps in touch promptly, and gets what my dog needs. He’s genuinely caring and approachable, which is a big plus. Thanks to Anthony, my dog’s routine has become much more manageable. If you’re on the lookout for a responsible and dog-friendly walker, he’s the way to go.”
“Gianna is the best! She is easy to communicate with, on time for walks, trustworthy, and really cares about the animals in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure my big pup is happy and safe. She has lessened my anxiety about leaving my pup and that means the world to me. She has been a life saver and I highly recommend her. Thanks Gianna 🥰🐾”
About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Short Hills/Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and care for your home as gently as your pets! I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾
“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”

I’m currently working part time so I’m available during the morning time and for overnight stays. And I love to take walks so if I can stay active and take your fur baby out, that’s perfect! I will take care of your pet as you wish! First, we would establish important health need-to-knows, routines, ground rules, do’s and don’t’s, then I’d be able make sure everyone is comfortable and clear about your pet’s needs.
About: I have taken care of different kinds of cats and dogs since I was 8 years old! I have a dog of my own and he is my favorite ever!! I am currently working part time at a restaurant so i have plenty of time to care and play with some pets!! I am rarely unavailable! I will make sure they have enough food and water at all times and I will make sure that they feel loved and cared for!
About: I’ve cared for my Samoyed since she was a puppy in 2023 and my Aussie doodle since she was a puppy in 2024. Growing up I have always enjoyed the outdoors and animals, so dog walking was always fun for me and the dogs I walked. I am switching careers at the moment and looking for alternatives to the 9-5. I wake up early and can start walking by 6am, I can do walks up till 7pm. I will follow the rules of your house if I check in on your dogs. Most importantly, making sure I lock up and close any doors I enter to make sure your dogs are safely secured at home.
About: Hi! My name is Ava, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have volunteered with local animal shelters, adopted and trained three dogs of my own, and fostered multiple dogs over the years. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable working with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience administering a variety of medications and understand the importance of following care instructions closely to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their families are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply a reliable companion, I would love the opportunity to care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you're apart. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!!! I am currently working part-time so I am pretty open for all your pet needs! I enjoy adding walking into my routine and would love to have company!! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and any special needs or preferences.
About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.
About: I’ve spent the last 6 years caring for dogs and cats for families in my neighborhood, including puppies, high‑energy dogs, and seniors who need a gentler pace. I regularly do dog walking, drop‑in visits, and house sitting, and I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, medications, walks, and playtime. I treat every animal like my own, send lots of photo updates, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their people are away. I’m a college student, so my availability is best during school breaks and holidays. When I’m home in New Jersey, I’m generally free on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your travel plans. I keep my calendar up to date and respond quickly so we can find times that fit your schedule. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to the routines you already have in place—feeding schedule, walk times, and house rules. I always double‑check doors, gates, and leashes, and I watch for any changes in behavior or appetite that might signal a problem. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and send clear updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing.
“Lindsey is the best! So sweet and always on time. Our pup immediately loved her and is so excited for her walks with Lindsey. She takes the time to ask questions and get to know your dog to make it the best experience.”
About: Growing up, I spent most summers caring for my family friend’s two big golden retrievers. We would spend all weekend together going on walks, playing in the yard, and plenty of snuggles. I take my responsibilities very seriously and know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. They are another family member and someone that cares for them outside of the family makes a huge difference. I am a teacher so during the school year, I am limited to after school hours and weekends but this summer I will have more flexibility in my daily schedule. Maintaining the pet’s regular routine in your home will be important as we prepare for walks or playing in the yard. Ensuring that they are safe and also your home remains safe while I am there is a priority for me.
