“Jonathan was great once again with my high energy dog, customizing the care to her needs. He was on board with my training plans and Jackson came back so happy and engaged unlike conventional boarding places. Thanks again Jonathan!”
“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”
“Susan was great with our senior dog! We loved getting the daily updates and could tell our pup received excellent care and his routine was very similar to the one he keeps at our home. Would recommend Susan in a heartbeat!”
“Audrey is great! She not only took my last minute request but also was wonderful with my dog. She sent me updates and pictures and Lola was more than happy -and this is means a lot because she’s always nervous around new people. I’d totally recommend her!!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“I am so happy and blessed to have gotten Bydette recommended to me to watch my puppy during my stay in New Jersey. She has a lovely family and the most adorable children. My puppy fell in love with them immediately. She kept me updated with everything that was going on and kept me updated when I expressed with her he was having some tummy problems. I just knew he was in awesome hands, I didn’t worry one bit. I will definitely book again next time I am in town! If I could give more stars I would.”
“This was my puppy’s first time not sorting at home since I got her in November and I was terrified. Maisha offered a video call, showed me her home and where my pup would sleep, and answered all 800 of my questions. This is my first pet ever so I have no idea what to do, bring, or expect and Maisha made me feel so comfortable. Safe to say, I’ve found my dog sitter for life💜”
“Michele was great with Tito! She gave plenty of updates and photos. It was our first time using Rover in a long time, and Michele made it easy. 10/10 would definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”
“Nathalie made our vacation easy as always. Maya enjoys her time here and we can relax while we're away knowing Maya is not having a difficult time. Nathalie is always friendly and helpful in case we have changes to our plans.”
“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”
“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!”
“Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!”
“Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.”
“Chelsea was great. She was open to a meet & great before the actual stay so we could meet her and she meet my 6 year golden retriever. She has thoroughly thought out all the information she needs to know to make the four-legged guest comfortable and me relaxed. She is located in a quiet neighborhood with a well kept home. We have already booked two more stays. Thank you Chelsea for taking such good care of my Brody.”
“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”

“Nicole is great, and my cats love her as well! Thank you for taking care of them and telling me what happened at house (the small incident the cat had etc). Would definitely contact her again if needed help in the future!”

“Bridget did a great job caring for my two cats and parrot while I was away. She communicated with me often, sent pictures and a daily update. I highly recommend her!”
“We had a great experience with Meghan while we were away on holiday. She took excellent care of our two cats and made sure they were happy and healthy when we got back. Communication was great, she was very responsive and kept us updated regularly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she really cared about our cats, and everything went smoothly. Overall, a very positive experience and we’d definitely recommend her to others!”
“I truly appreciate Nicole's efforts. My cat is afraid of everyone, so there has been little in the way of contact. However, Nicole has stayed the course, by putting food outside or in the garage, searching relentlessly for my cat, in the house, and in the yard. I went away for a few days, and I knew I could depend on Nicole to follow Simon's detailed regimen. She even moved up the time of her arrival from 8am to 7am to better accommodate him. As a bonus, Nicole takes great photos, including nature photos.”
“Mark did an excellent job of taking care of Luna and my home and left very detailed updates regarding his drop in visits which gave me peace of mind while I was away!!”
“Yifei is an incredible sitter! She is proactive, attentive, and present with Mr. Scout. She leaves plenty of pictures and videos making me feel comfortable knowing Mr. Scout is getting the best care and attention during my time away. I would absolutely recommend Yifei and will be looking to book with her in the future.”
“Jordyn is great with our cat and dog! Jordyn has been helping out with our dog for the past couple of months and was eager to help with our cat while we were traveling as well. She is always communicative and kind!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! This was our first time leaving our cat while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after her. She was punctual, very communicative throughout our trip, and clearly took great care of our cat—she seemed happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we got home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter provided for our four cats while we were away. She followed every instruction carefully, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our cats absolutely adored her 😸 Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats was the best feeling. She went above and beyond to make sure their routines stayed consistent and that each of them received plenty of attention and care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our furry family!”
“Anne has done an amazing job with my little ones, making sure they were fed, had clean water, had their daily portion of favorite snacks/veggies and daily portion of cuddles. We love her !”
About: Although I haven’t had any cats in my home throughout my life, I am experienced with cats and love them so so much! I’ve helped friends and family take care of their cats throughout my life, and helped take care of the cats boarding at my job this past year!
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two Sphynx (hairless) cats and a Pomeranian, and I absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m looking to make some extra income so I can continue being a stay-at-home mom, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention!
“I am so happy to have found Hansa to take care of my cats while I went on a long vacation (17 days). Hansa dropped in to my apartment everyday to feed and play with my 3 cats, as well as clean the litter, amongst other things. She made sure to update me with pictures and videos everyday, which I appreciated so much. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable leaving my cats for such a long period of time. She even was able to medicate one of my very aggressive cats by giving her an injection once a day. This is not easy, even for me to do as the owner. Hansa is efficient with cat handling, excellent with communication, and I can tell she really loves my cats! I will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you so much, Hansa!!!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Jonathan has been wonderful with Colby the past two days. Colby is a pandemic dog and I have been working remote for the last 5 years so he is super attached and has separation anxiety. I was a bit nervous with him staying with a stranger for the first time but Colby seems to be happy and already feels at home with Jonathan! Jonathan is super responsive, accommodating, and caring, gave updates on how Colby was doing, and always responds right away to any questions I have. I am no longer anxious about leaving Colby home when we go on vacation as I know he’ll be well taken care of by Jonathan!”
“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!”
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Anna! Duke had an amazing time at her place and absolutely loved spending the day with their dog Theo. Anna is incredibly caring and attentive to the dogs in her care. She was very mindful of Duke’s needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout the day. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos — it was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Duke was. We would absolutely trust Anna with Duke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and loving sitter.”
About: I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I grew up with an Airedale Terrier and later a Welsh Terrier, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for dogs at different life stages. I also have hands-on experience supporting a senior dog - handling vet visits, acupuncture appointments, and helping him get around comfortably when his mobility declined. I’m a young professional looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. In college, I lived with a friendly and affectionate pit mix who quickly became one of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever known. In addition, I’ve fostered puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs to ensure your dog gets the best care possible.
About: I am a previous owner of a beautiful Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel. I am also currently a FUNcle to my sister's 100 pound German Shepherd who adores me and I him. I recently moved out of NYC and back to NJ and a lot of my friends parents have asked me to come by to let their pups out and take them on walks every so often when they're away. I would love to take care of your pet as well. I work from home so anything works for me. Your dog will have plenty of outdoor time while I am home so that they aren’t stuck inside all day I live close to a local baseball field that I have access to if I wanted to take them out for more space to play in.
“Tracy and Steve have been absolutely wonderful with Coco. He always loves staying at their place, and this time was extra special—they took him to the South Mountain Dog Park for his very first dog park adventure! They also kept us updated with plenty of videos, showing Coco having an amazing time. We couldn’t be happier with the care they provide!”
About: I’m a mom of 2. One in college and the other a college graduate living on their own. I had dogs growing up. We had a dog as the kids grew up with and lost him in 2019. I pet sit for family members whenever I can. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so hopefully I can meet your needs. I work from home and my hours for work are flexible. I can adjust my schedule as needed. This will hopefully meet your needs and your pet. I am always home and have a beautiful lake to walk your four legged friend around while they are here. I go at your pets pace so if they like to sniff around that’s fine.
“Blue’s first day here was a success! Louis has a great setup - large fenced in yard w lots of places to explore - tucked in at the end of a quiet street. Blue enjoyed lots of outside time & attention. On our earlier ‘meet & greet’ Louis welcomed Blue warmly & gave Blue time to check things out before introducing him to his dog, Barney. I got the sense that Louis is a real dog lover & would trust him with Blue again. Highly recommended!”
“Second time at Jessica’s place. Pretzel had a lot of fun and came home taking a nap right away. Jessica trained Pretzel walking and left very detailed note about Pretzel’s day, water break/food break etc, which is very appreciated!”
About: We are a loving and lively household where we will snuggle and play fetch with your pup, take them to the dog park, and keep them happy and occupied. My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages through my volunteer work at HFGDR. I truly enjoy tailoring my care to each dog's specific needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or providing gentle, patient companionship for senior dogs. I am fully available all summer long to provide dedicated care for your pets! With my wide-open summer schedule, I have plenty of time to offer consistent attention, extra playtime, and personalized care.

About: I've had large and small dogs most of my life and understand what is needed to ensure your fur babies are healthy and happy! I am flexible and dependable to help you enjoy your time away! I sit for one dog or one family at a time. I work from home and can maintain your dog's daily routine/schedule. I love to walk everyday and your fur baby is welcomed to join me! I have a large fenced back yard and a nice deck for laying in the sun! Your fur baby is supervised whenever outside in the yard/deck. Currently, I do not have my own fur baby but my house and yard are doggie ready/friendly!
“Sriram & Rekha S. was super sweet and attentive to Ace. He communicated with me during the whole day. And contacted me as well once my sister picked up Ace. Will be booking with him again!”
“We recently used Manuel’s dog sitting services for our Frenchie, Vinny, and we couldn’t be happier. Knowing Vinny was in Manuel’s capable care gave us such peace of mind to focus on our day. When we returned, Vinny was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I’m so thankful for Manuel’s help and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”

“I have had Mike come for multiple walks and each time he has been on time, sends updates, and very professional. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a dog walker.”
“Briana has been an absolute lifesaver! I booked her on very short notice when a work trip came up unexpectedly, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog, Phoebe, is quite shy and reactive, which can be challenging for anyone new, but Briana handled her with so much patience, care, and understanding. Knowing Phoebe was in such capable and reliable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be using Briana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
“Anne was great with my dog when we needed a dog walker last minute! She was responsive, friendly, and great at dealing with our little energetic pup. I enjoyed the cute pictures she sent each day as well! Would definitely trust her for future walks.”
“Yifei communicated clearly and followed my special requests. She arrived on time even though it was raining. My dog is usually anxious around new people but Yifei made him feel comfortable. Definitely recommend.”

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: As a future Physician Assistant (PA) and former aspiring veterinarian, I combine my love for animals with medical awareness, reliability, and a warm, bubbly personality! I recently graduated and became a certified Physician Assistant (PA)! I have off before the beginning of my job and have plenty time to watch and sit for families who need help with their animals. I can be of any assistance the pet owner requires! I can care for the animal and provide medications, etc, or simply play, feed, or walk them.
“Kennedy did great! She came over a few days earlier to meet Tofi. On the day of the walk she did all we asked her to do, even with Tofi being reluctant to take a long walk, she hanged out with her and made sure she had water and treats.”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life!

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.

I definitely recommend using Sal’s services and will be using him again.”

Prior to their stay we did a meet and greet. Carolina has a very calm demeanor, and we were very confident that the girls would be comfortable in her home.
