“they seriously treat your animals like they are their own❤️”
“Sherylee was super kind to us and our dog. She communicated throughout the day and provided pics. I would highly recommend Sherylee and look forward to having her watch our puppy again. Thank you!”
“David did an outstanding job watching our dog, Trixie. He walked her often during the day, and had her out early in the morning and well into the evening. He came to our home the day before his scheduled time to meet with us, and to see the dog. He wanted Trixie to see us together with him, so she would be comfortable knowing that he was an accepted part of our pet family. He left our home in perfect condition when we came back from a brief vacation. David is a very nice person and he is well suited with pets. I would have David back in the future when his services are again needed. Roseann and Mike b”
“Milena was absolutely amazing with our big dog Magnus. She was so great to work with, excellent communication, very kind, caring and trustworthy. We returned from our trip with a very happy dog, and the house was just as we left it. I would HIGHLY recommend!”
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! I am an elementary school teacher. I am very affectionate and attentive when it comes to animals. I would love to walk and cuddle your pup all summer long! I have two very friendly dogs and a husband who adores pups just as much as I do! We have a very large fenced-in yard where your pup can get in their daily zoomies! We also have two sides of our house where, if necessary, your pup can have alone time with me and away from my other two pups (who can hang out with my husband). When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will be sure to follow all routines you set. It’s important for a pup (especially one’s still learning) to have the same routines with or without their mom/dad present.
“Kayla watched our two pups this past weekend and did a fantastic job. She sent pics throughout the visit and kept us updated on how they were doing. You could tell they felt right at home with her! Highly recommend for any of your sitting needs!”
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.
“I can't recommend Kristin enough! She took incredible care of Buzz, while I was away on such short notice. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to make buzz feel comfortable and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She definitely became my dog's new best friend!”
“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of Beau. She sent frequent updates and photos so we knew that he was doing well. She was attentive to all of the instructions we left. We could tell Brooke did an amazing job watching Beau and that he was really happy! He was well taken care of, as was our house. We would absolutely recommend Brooke!”
“Aletris was great with my dogs. She kept us updated and took care of them like her own. She went above and beyond will definitely rebook with her!”
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.
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.
“Joseph is fantastic. My puppy loved him and took to him right away. Thank you, Joseph!”
“Kaitlynn was great! She came and met the critters before taking on the house-sitting job. It's really obvious that she knows a lot about and adores dogs and cats. She communicated well and kept me informed throughout the visit. I would love to have her house-sit for us again!”
“Alexa took care of Charlie from Friday afternoon to Sunday may16-18. She sent photos showing his walks and wakeups. Unfortunately he got into her box of chocolates so she took him to the vet. We were on our way home when this happened”

About: I have grown up with Australian Shepherds and my mother dog-sitted out of our house for over 5 years. I have been around so many breeds that range from small to large, and calm to high-energy. Poodles, Vizslas, Rottweilers, (one Great Dane who I absolutely adored!) Dachshunds, King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, Terriers, Schnauzers, Beagles, Pitbulls, Bulldogs and that's just off the top of my head! I love all the different breeds and when I meet a new one I always do research on the breed's history. My boyfriend would tell you I'm a dog wiz and always pointing out dogs when we're out like, "Oh look an Irish Setter!" Or "A German Shorthaired Pointer!" I take my dog Enzo, a mini Australian Shepherd, for an hour long walk every morning through Ramapo Reservation and we both love it. :) I will take lots of pictures if you'd like, and don't mind updating you frequently! Your dog will NEVER be off leash with me as I understand I'm caring for your family member and must always be careful. I have administered medication through food and through the mouth, but am not experienced administering medication in other ways like shots. I'm starting a part-time job in September but I want to care for animals and exercise with dogs in the meantime, and will continue to when I start the job, only with less availability of course :( I want to take advantage of the good weather while it lasts and will spend lots of time outdoors with your dog or dogs! I treat most pets like babies! I'm careful about choking hazards, always making sure the door is shut, and I watch them closely when outdoors. I am respectful of other people's homes and privacy and take pride in leaving homes exactly as they were when I got there! I understand I'm there to spend time with your pets and I'm not a couch potato! I enjoy being around dogs, playing with them, and spending as much time with them as I can.
About: Hi! I’m Gabriella, a college student with a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for everything from playful puppies to shy seniors. I’m not just someone who watches pets — I bond with them, keep them active, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. With a flexible student schedule, I’m dependable, full of energy, and treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a walk, overnight stay, or just some playtime, I’m here to give your furry friend the attention they deserve! I am looking for a job from early mornings to mid afternoons, so I am available from 5pm- 10pm from Monday to Friday and weekends do vary. I have a fenced yard that will keep dogs from getting out, so your pets are safe with me! The yard is huge so there is a lot of room to run and play

Amanda Y.
“Amanda might love animals more than anyone I have ever met. She spoils every dog she sees and showers them with affection. The only problem you could ever have with Amanda caring for your dogs is her reluctance to leave them when she is done! She is responsible and caring, and will make sure that your pet gets whatever they need. You could not find a better person to care for your pet than Amanda.”

Mia V.
“Mia is hands down the best dog walker and pet sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like her own. She’s reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind — and our pets adore her! She takes our dog on long, enriching walks and always pays attention to his energy levels and behavior. When we’re away, we can trust her 100% with our home and our pets. Our usually shy cat warmed up to Mia almost immediately, which says a lot about her gentle and calm nature. We always get daily updates, photos, and notes that make us feel completely at ease while we’re gone. Mia consistently goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, and has a true passion for animals, Mia is it. We’re so lucky to have found her!”

Kristen L.
“Kristen is great! She has watched my beagle, Quinn, several times now, and I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Quinn loves her - she gets so excited every time she sees Kristen. Kristen is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She always sends updates and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. Whether she’s staying at my place overnight or just stopping by for walks, I know Quinn is in great hands. Kristen is careful to follow all of my instructions, which is so important since Quinn is a senior beagle who eats a specific diet and takes medication. I always come home to a happy, relaxed pup, knowing she’s been well looked after. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on someone who is both trustworthy and affectionate with my dog. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and dependable pet sitter!”
Beth N.
“When we lost our dogwalker of several years a few months ago, we were very nervous about finding a new one. We found Beth, and she stepped right in flawlessly. She has been walking my 80 lb terrier mix daily for several months now, and she has been great! She picked up all my dogs little nuances Immediately , and he already loves her and looks forward to her arrival each day. She is extremely reliable and trustworthy, and has yet to have missed a single day. She has also been extremely flexible and easy to work with on those couple of occasions when something popped up, and we needed to adjust our plans. She is now walking several of my neighbors animals as well. If you need a responsible, reliable dog walker that you can trust your loved one to, Beth would be a great choice!”
