“Avital is great. My dog loves spending time with Avital and it puts my mind at ease! Avital is a fantastic communicator and always keeps me posted on how things are going! Highly recommend!”
“James kept us informed, kept our high energy dog happy and cared for. He took her on walks where she met other dogs to play with. He took her with him on short trips out of town. He followed feeding and care instructions well. He left our home in great shape, took out the garbage and kept everything clean and ready for us. He was very conservative of any resources to which we gave him permission to use or to consume. We highly recommend James!”
“Brooke was excellent with our small dog, Hildie. She took her out very regularly and gave detailed and frequent updates. Very happy with her care and she also was very respectful of our home as well! Would definitely book Brooke again.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 18 years old. I’m experienced in giving medications to dogs who need it. I take them on walks during the day (if that’s something they are used to) and give them lots of attention. My work schedule is very flexible. Making it easy to stay with pets for longer periods of time during the day. With only some evening events for work, pets get the most attention while sitting. I have been watching pets at their own home, I go above and beyond with love while their parent is away. I make sure the get all the attention they miss while their parents are away.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.
“Milena stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and she was great! We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! She kept us posted with pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!!”
About: I don’t have dogs or cats myself but I do have bunnies that I feed and take care of. My cousins have dogs and I treat them like my own, frequently going on walks with the two of them. I'm a college student who loves pets and being active!! I'm available for walks in the morning and afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a quiet area with lots of side streets. The other dogs in the neighborhood are also very friendly.
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.
“Sherrylee went above and beyond with our three month old rescue puppy. Can’t thank her enough for her professionalism, effectiveness, kindness and patience. Highly recommend this wonderful caregiver.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life from before I could remember to now. I’ve had special needs dogs, rescues, and pure breeds who require a little extra love. I’ve cared for senior dogs ( who are blind and deaf) and trained puppies successfully. Over all, I adore dogs of all kinds, shapes, and sizes! I can’t wait to adventure with your pup!

It’s important for a pup (especially one’s still learning) to have the same routines with or without their mom/dad present.

Angelina S.
“Had to go on a work trip for the first time since quarantine. My dog had never been left alone with anyone but myself during quarantine so I had doubts about hiring a sitter but after a multiple meetings with Angelina my pup warmed up to her and I was so relieved to have found someone I felt comfortable leaving him with. I’ve also taken a couple trips since then and rebooked with her outside of the rover app to avoid all the fees they take. Highly recommended sitter and pup approved”
Beth N.

Every time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us. This eliminates the stress of leaving the dogs and house. Above all, Beth is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. Dana & John Dop”
Colleen C.
“Colleen has great communication skills and is truly so gentle and loving with my anxious pup! She is fit and takes pride in where she goes for walks and making sure the dog is properly walked and follows instructions carefully. She is very trustworthy, and my puppy loves her, and she even takes the time to play with them a little and give only specified treats to my pup based on my instructions! I won't think twice about hiring her for all my puppies needs! She is a true DOG WHISPERER!”

“Kristen has been watching our plott hound Gigi for a decade, making sure she is comfortable and happy while we’ve been away on vacations. Gigi is an anxious dog, but Kristen always makes sure Gigi feels at home while staying at her place. I always appreciate the text and photo updates that I receive from her while I’m gone. It puts our minds at ease. Now, our dear Gigi is 14 years old and requires some geriatric care, including frequent bathroom outings and a strict diet and medication routine. I can always count on Kristen to administer medications and treat Gigi with so much love and care! She is a great babysitter and I highly recommend her to take care of your pet!”
