“Savana was great with our pups, giving them all the attention they needed and then some! We didn’t have to worry. They were in their home and loved for 9 days and we appreciate all she did! Looking forward to next time! 💕”


“My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.”


“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!”

“We recently had David dog sit for us, and he did a fantastic job! He came over the night before to meet our dogs and get familiar with their routine, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was thoughtful and prepared. While we were away, our flight ended up being delayed by almost five hours, and David stayed longer without hesitation to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. That kind of reliability and flexibility is rare and so appreciated. When we got home, it was clear the dogs were happy, calm, and well looked after. We’re very grateful for David’s care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter!”


“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!”


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.

“Anastasia took exceptional care of our two dogs and home while we were away. She was communicative throughout our trip with nightly status updates and with any questions that arose. She also left our home in great condition after her stay. Would definitely use her again for upcoming needs.”


“Teresa like always was very good with communicating. She sent me pics and videos of my dog constantly and asked questions to make sure she was taking care of him correctly. I felt very calm leaving my dog under Teresa’s care!”


About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, with two chocolate labs, a dozen barn cats, and various other farm animals! I also ran a small pet-sitting business in my neighborhood when I was a young teen. I absolutely adore animals, and caring for them has been second nature to me since I was young. I have a wide range of experience from fiesty barn animals to cuddly couch potatoes. I typically work 3-4 days at the end of the week, which leaves Monday through Wednesday (Sometimes Thursday!) completely open. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and drop ins. I can even accommodate walks and drop ins on the days I do work, depending on my schedule. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and keep routines as consistent as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or playtime. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always move slowly with shy animals and give lots of love to the social ones! If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet spaces for rest. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like part of the family, whether they’re here for a visit or I’m looking after them in their own home.

Whether she’s staying at my place overnight or just stopping by for walks, I know Quinn is in great hands.

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!”
