Top rated Wayne house sitters
“Emily came to our hotel to watch our pups while we spent a full day sightseeing. It was a load off our mind knowing they had company and were able to go for walk. She did a wonderful job and sent pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend Emily!”
“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!”
“Man, I have no choice but to write a glowing review for Theresa, but selfishly I want to write a bad one so she’d always be available to take care of our dogs. Simply put Theresa is amazing. She spent the weekend with our 3 dogs. She communicated with us her schedule for the weekend, and made sure to give our 2 young labs lots of playtime to get some of their energy out, and gave lots of love to our elderly dog. We came home to very happy dogs. She took amazing care of our dogs and home. We will definitely be calling her again.”
“Kayla was fantastic for watching my 2 pups and kitties while away. She was super receptive to their little quirks (including walking them outside on leashes in the yard during the rain because they think they’re sugar and going to melt, and would not go out!). I would definitely recommend using Kayla and plan on booking her again when she is available.”
“I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”
“I cannot recommend Leticia enough! It was evident that she has a genuine love for animals. She spent time with Ollie and Rain and made sure to follow my care instructions perfectly. I received regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were impressive, and I truly felt that my pets were in the best hands. I will definitely be using their services again in the future! If you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, look no further!”
“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”
“Treated my dog like it was her own! Very loving and playful! So happy to have chosen Alexa to care for our pup! 100% recommend”
“John took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a long weekend. He spent lots of time with her, took her on walks, and made time to play with her each day. He is very reliable and sends daily updates. Highly recommend him!”
“Such a professional and easy company to take care of our special dogs needs. We are so happy we connected with Myra, we highly recommend her.”
“I had a great experience with Nabria. My dog and cat were very comfortable with her. She left my home spotless and I could not be more grateful and pleased. I would 100% use her services again and highly recommend her.”
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've taken care of pets for the majority of my life. From caring for my own furry and feathered family members to watching pets for my neighbors and friends and caring for the facility dogs at my job, I have a second heart for animals. Experience with puppies, elders, high energy working dogs, and dogs with trauma. I'm currently working part time while attending grad school. Housesitting is available on weekends starting on Fridays at 5pm (I'll be in clinic until then). Last minute reservations are available for repeat clients. Care instructions for your pet will be followed as closely as possible. I'll care for you pet and your home as I would my own. Your pet's safety and comfort are my first priority.
“Rebecca was great, our dogs are young and super high energy. She stayed at our house while we were away for our wedding, and we knew they were in great hands. She also sent us updates with pictures and we were thrilled to see how much they loved her, and how at ease they were. We were nervous about taking them somewhere new to stay, so this was the best option for us as they were able to be in their home and be well taken care of. Definitely recommend Rebecca!”
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.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for a full year, this will be my second year. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two bichon cavaliers, and in the past I have had Dobermans and Havaneses. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and will be returning to Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own two! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.
About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!
“Needed someone to watch my big boys for a last minute quick trip for work and Alexa was able to help out on short notice. My boys were well fed, walked, and taken care of. She provided regular updates and pictures showing how they were doing. 10/10 would rebook with her again and recommend to friends and family. She also left my house very clean and tidy. Thanks again Alexa!!”
“Happy kittie, happy house! These 4 words really encapsulate how pleased we were/are with the time (13 days) which Lindsey spent caring for our 18 year old cat, Rosie and our home. Each a precious and important part of our well being. It appears that Linsey meticulously followed the copious notes and instructions that I left for her. Rosie was clean and groomed, and by the fact that she was not quite as needy upon our return from this lengthy stay as she usually is when we leave her showed us that she must have bonded with Lindsey and not pined for us. The house, too, upon our return was clean and tidy and just as we had left it. She even went above and beyond cleaning up a big mess that Rosie had made on a piece of furniture in the living room. We especially enjoyed the updates and photos she sent us of Rosie in her favorite baskets and haunts. Upon meeting Lindsey for the first time before our trip, we felt that she was definitely a caring, trustworthy, responsible and mature young woman. A second visit only confirmed that our instincts had been on the mark, and we could go away knowing that our cat, a beloved member of our family, and our house with its precious possessions were in good hands. If another lengthy trip was in our future, there is no question that we would call on Lindsey to pet and house sit once again.”
“Sonya is absolutely incredible ! Extremely reliable, courteous, professional and punctual! She genuinely loves our dogs (2 exceptionally large and rambunctious Bernese mountain pups > 130lbs each!!). From the moment she arrives she provides constant attention, playtime in the backyard and is very attentive when it comes to following specific instructions for the pups. Highly recommended her !”
