“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“Nervana is very kind and caring. She took great care of Bella, giving her medication each day Her whole family made Bella's stay a very happy experience.”
“We are so grateful for the great care Jacqueline and her family took of our pup for a whole week. She communicated with us daily to give us updates and sent us pictures and videos and reassured us she was doing great. She came home so calm and happy. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Bhavani and family took care of our Diesel during holiday season (9 days). Our Diesel is a large (lab) puppy with extra energy. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. She even helped navigate the app( for first timer like me) and from the beginning of setting up the meet and greet visit to until the last day, she was prompt in communicating, shared pictures and videos daily, followed the instructions. Bhavani family loved and cared for our Diesel like it their own. Did not bother us with anything, just shared pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and confidence to enjoy our vacation. Her home is safe for pets and she really has the experience to handle them. I will use her service again in future ( although it is an hour away drive for us) because safety and happiness of our fur babies comes first. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Bhavani.”
“Jennifer (and her family) did an amazing job taking care of our dachshund Blue for the weekend while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures of blue having fun throughout our trip and was communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely use her again!”
“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Vernisha, did an excellent job from the beginning of our communication until the moment we picked him up. She kept us informed throughout our getaway and sent photos and videos, including updates from the park when she took our dog for a walk. We really loved the way she cared for him and kept us updated on his well-being. We highly recommend her!”
“Yanina and Eric were truly exceptional caregivers. They went above and beyond in tending to my beloved dog, Scooby, an 11-year-old Labrador mix. They showered him with affection and personalized attention, making sure he felt safe, loved, and cherished during his stay. Scooby also had the wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships with other pets, which significantly alleviated my worries and brought me peace of mind. The couple was highly communicative, sharing adorable and loving photos that warmed my heart. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, even with last-minute requests. I would undoubtedly trust and rely on them again in the future!”
“So grateful to have found Natalia to watch our dog Tino. This is our second time booking her this month . She continues to be responsive and trustworthy. Thanks again Natalia !!!!”
About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.
“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.”

“I needed very last minute boarding for my 12 year old beagle/bulldog mix and Dhruvit was available on short notice and took great care of my dog while we were gone. He kept us updated and sent multiple pictures every day so we knew he was well taken care of. I would definitely book with Dhruvit again!”
“Lorrie was absolutely amazing with my two aussies. The boys stayed 5 days and loved every minute of it! We recieved a video everyday as well as an update on how the boys were doing. Both Dogs had an absolutely wonderful time ! I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies ! She is the best :)”
“We left our two pups with Bob and they couldn’t have been in better hands. We were anxious to board them since they’ve never been away from us, but Bob put as at ease with text and picture updates on how they were getting along. We absolutely plan to use Bob again and would gladly recommend him to anyone that wants worry free pet boarding!”

“We booked Jenna again for a short weekend and she was, like last time, punctual, communicative, sent great photos, and loved on our cat. We will be booking with her again!”
“Excellent experience with Lin. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they needed. Communicating with every visit with pictures and details, letting us know the exact situation, was very helpful to keep us reassured everything was fine.”
About: Former Veterinary Assistant with over 10 years of hands-on experience in small-animal veterinary hospitals. Dedicated to safe, compassionate care—calm handling, meds help, and support for all pets including elderly or high-needs pets.
About: I’ve been a cat mother for 17 years, and can truly say she is my best friend. Cats can make you work for their affection, and I find that to be an enjoyable experience in itself. Zero issues with cleaning up after either end of your fur babies.
“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”
“Oleg was amazing! I have a very difficult cat, and he was very patient and calm with her. He is communicative and sends updates daily along with photos. I felt secure being away from home knowing he was taking care of my fur baby. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for years, my own and previous experience at the vet. I know how to trim their nails and deep clean litter boxes. What triggers them, what makes them happy. I love cats so much!
“Noelle did a fabulous job with my kitties! I have very specific instructions for them and she followed them to the T! Additionally, my skittish kitty even came out for her! I highly recommend her and will be asking her to drop in for my kitties again in the future.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She watched our cat for a few days. Sent updates, didn’t rush her visits and provided great updates. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. We currently have 2 senior cats at home and I have had many of my own cats that I have loved and taken care of over the years. I have taken care of hundreds of cats as a Veterinary Technician over the years in all stages of life and many types of illnesses and diseases. I have worked with all types and many different breeds of cats as well. I have experience with cats with all different types of personalities and behavioral issues and try to take my time with any of them that are fearful and try to gain their trust and show them that I just want to show them love like you do. I was trained to practice fear free medicine as a vet tech. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.

I’ve been feeding her morning and night, taking her on walks, playing with her, cuddling, etc. Ive since moved out and now have a dog and 2 cats of my own. I can’t picture a life without some furry friends! I’m currently working a 9-5 and able to take care of some pets and host boardings overnight and after my shifts. Although I am looking to resign and eventually just work some side hustles so I can have more time at home with my daughter and spend more time with the pets!! I have a fenced yard as well as a bunch of pet toys, along with a friendly dog and two friendly cats for your furry friends to play with!

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs
“Absolutely amazing experience. Our puppy was so comfortable with Rob as soon as he met him. Rob is very knowledgeable and caring. He explained the whole process to us when we did meet and greet and was very informative and honest. We are very lucky to have found someone who cares as much as Rob does for our pup. Definitely booking again. Thank you Rob 😊”

“Courtney and Sherwood are awesome! They send pictures throughout the day. My dog, Red, always has fun at their house, and our dogs high-energy levels match. Red always comes home exhausted.”

My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

She is super calm, friendly and playful. Great with other dogs.
“Jay is the best! Even before Jay took him out for the first time, I knew he was in great hands. In the complementary meet and greet and over text, Jay asked so many questions that showed me that they were really invested in Harry’s success and knew the right questions to ask about a dog with complex behavioral issues like Harry. Since she started walking my dog, everything has been so smooth. She is extremely reliable and always very gentle with Harry. I would highly recommend Jay for any of your dog care needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I am a little girl. I grew up with a bunny, then with a dog which we still have since 2012.

About: I have cared for my own pets since I was a child. I’ve always loved animals and have always had pets. I’ve rescued and helped strays cats along with my other family members. One of my most special cats had asthma and had to use and inhaler. I am capable handling medical needs for pets as I’ve also owned english bulldogs and they’ve had various skin allergies so I’m aware of allergy needs for special cats and dogs. I’ve recently started caring for chickens too lol. I have enough patience to help with basic training such as give paw/high fives, potty training and sit. My own pets have made it senior ages as well and am aware of older pets needs. I currently work and help care for my dad a few days a week, and I do my pet sitting at his house. He has a spacious yard where dogs can run around and play. My brother and sister also help care for our dad and pets, so they’re often around to lend a hand with pet sitting as well. I provide daily basic grooming and baths, nail trimming, medication administration, and regular walks. I also offer plenty of belly rubs and ear scratches! I clean up after the pets, prepare their meals, and ensure they are well-fed and cared for.
About: I had a chocolate lab for 17 years and I loved caring for her. I had started WAG after, and cared for so many pets. I started off just walking dogs. Then after I ran with them, boarded them, and did drop ins. I love caring for them and making sure they’re safe and happy! I am currently in nursing school and have classes in the mornings but I am always available to walk them and give them the attention they need. As well, summer is coming up and would love to help out! I don’t live with any pets so no need to worry about other animals. I live in a house with a porch as well as a front yard, but it isn’t closed in. My house is cozy and comfortable for pets to come and hangout!

I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I lived on my aunts farm in the summers growing up. I have two loving and playful pups who are like my children!

I’m up at all hours of the day/night because I have a 9 month old as well ;) I will treat your home and your babies as if they are my own!

“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“Nervana is very kind and caring. She took great care of Bella, giving her medication each day Her whole family made Bella's stay a very happy experience.”
“Bhavani and family took care of our Diesel during holiday season (9 days). Our Diesel is a large (lab) puppy with extra energy. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. She even helped navigate the app( for first timer like me) and from the beginning of setting up the meet and greet visit to until the last day, she was prompt in communicating, shared pictures and videos daily, followed the instructions. Bhavani family loved and cared for our Diesel like it their own. Did not bother us with anything, just shared pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and confidence to enjoy our vacation. Her home is safe for pets and she really has the experience to handle them. I will use her service again in future ( although it is an hour away drive for us) because safety and happiness of our fur babies comes first. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Bhavani.”
“Yanina and Eric were truly exceptional caregivers. They went above and beyond in tending to my beloved dog, Scooby, an 11-year-old Labrador mix. They showered him with affection and personalized attention, making sure he felt safe, loved, and cherished during his stay. Scooby also had the wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships with other pets, which significantly alleviated my worries and brought me peace of mind. The couple was highly communicative, sharing adorable and loving photos that warmed my heart. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, even with last-minute requests. I would undoubtedly trust and rely on them again in the future!”
About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.

We will have a great time together.
