18. Daniela A.
About: I have been an avid animal lover since I received my first puppy as a child. I taught my beloved spaniel how to sit and lay down, and he taught me patience and responsibility. I cared for him until he sadly left us at 17 years old. My experience taught me that our fur babies are here for such a short time, and they deserve the absolute best we can give them. I have extended this mindset into my care of several other pets throughout my life including my four cats and bonus fur babies that I pet sit. My current clients range from small to large breed dogs. I have gained extensive experience with senior pets and the special needs that come with them as well as pets with medical needs. As a college student working part time, I hope to expand my business and do what I love full time. I currently work 9-5 part-time, leaving me with plenty of free time including weekends. I am flexible in my schedule and availability, and always strive to provide pets in my care with as much attention and care as they would receive in their homes. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of indoor space. I have four friendly cats of my own but available space to keep pets in my care separate in the case that they are less then enthusiastic about cats. I offer in house pet sitting as well to those who prefer their fur babies to remain in their own environment. I have a valid NJ Driver's license and a reliable vehicle large enough to transport big breeds. Additionally I have plenty of experience administering medications and treatments safely.
19. Alexis M.
“Alexis did an amazing job looking after my pet while Ii was away on vacation. She gave me great feedback every day on Piper’s condition with many pictures. She always went the extra mile to make sure Piper was happy and healthy. If someone is in need of service like this, I would recommend giving her a call. Thanks Bill”
20. Tracy G.
“Tracy was very responsive & a pleasure to work with. One of our dogs broke into our neighbor’s yard & Tracy was able to return her to our yard without any issues. I would definitely use her services again.”
