“Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!”


“Michael did a great job caring for our senior dog and hermit crab while we were away. He ensured our dog was walked at the times we specified and was fed and medicated as needed. He sent regular updates with picture and videos to keep us informed throughout our time away. Based on our security footage, our dog really enjoyed Michael’s company. Michael also took good care of our house and left everything in order at the end of his stay. I would definitely recommend Michael!”


“Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!”


“We couldn’t be happier with Alyssa! We’ve booked her a couple of times now, and each experience has been fantastic. From the moment we met, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals. She took such good care of our pups, providing not only the essentials but also extra cuddles, playtime, and frequent updates to keep us at ease. It’s so reassuring to know that our fur babies are in such capable and caring hands whenever we’re away. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to your pet's needs, look no further. Alyssa always goes above and beyond, and we’ll definitely continue to book her. Highly recommended!”


About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.

“Nathalia was great!! She took great care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. She left the place neat & tidy as well! Will definitely be booking here again.”


“I felt very comfortable leaving my 2 cats in Leticia’s care. Very reliable and consistent with timing. I received daily updates including photos. I highly recommend Leticia for your pet sitting needs.”


About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and understand the importance of treating every animal like family. I have hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy level from high energy pups that need structured walks and playtime, to senior dogs who require a gentler approach. I’ve also looked after cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing updates to pet parents for peace of mind. ✨ Special Skills • 🐶 Experience with puppies & senior pets • 💊 Can administer oral medications • 🐾 Skilled in leash training and managing high-energy walks • ❤️ Strong intuition for animal behavior & emotional needs • 📸 Happy to provide daily photo updates • 🧽 Clean, respectful, and committed to leaving your home just as you left it • 🚗 Reliable transportation and flexible scheduling I have a very Flexible Full Time Schedule Available. I am Available Weekdays Monday-Friday & Weekends Saturday- Sunday with your pups. Feel free to share and specific instructions or special care needs & allergies. I have a fenced yard for plenty of play time but I also love taking the pups on walks or to the local dog parks if allowed. I like to get anything approved prior as I understand pet anxiety and stress can be possible.

About: I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets with both routine and special needs. I've fostered animals, administered medications, and even cared for pets recovering from serious illnesses like Parvo. I understand the patience, attention, and love that pets need at every stage of life—whether it's a playful pup or a senior companion needing extra care. Your pet’s well-being and comfort are always my top priority. As a student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I'm only on campus three days a week for a few hours, and the rest of the time I can do my schoolwork from anywhere. That means I’m available to spend quality time with your pet—whether it's for regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought; they’ll get the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to make sure they feel secure and at ease. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and consistent with your pet’s routine. In my home, pets have a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I always follow any instructions you provide down to the smallest detail—whether it’s feeding, medications, crate training, or just their favorite way to be petted. I also provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

“Claudia is a rockstar! My dog is pretty high maintenance when it comes to walks, as she’s reactive on the leash. But Claudia handled her very well, and made me feel much more at ease while I was away. If you need a wonderful dog sitter, Claudia is your girl! 🙌”


About: I grew up in the Philippines from when I was born till I was 19. And for those years we have always had a dog in the house. Most at one time was 6 dogs. All are trained and well taken care of from the moment they were born or adopted. Giving them their best lives is all that they deserve from us, these furry friends will love us unconditionally. It’s my job to make sure that they feel that same love back. I am currently working part time on a few jobs around the Montclair/Bloomfield area. I plan to return to school for my doctorate but for the mean time caring for pets have always been a love of mine and I will do my very best to make sure your little (or big) buddies get the attention they require. Depending on the breed of dog and their individual energy levels, their playtimes would vary from either indoor activities like tug of war, sensory activities like training their sense of smell with treats, or more outdoor backyard stuff like fetch, making sure all their zoomies are taken outside before they cause a mess inside the house. Making sure that each pet is well stimulated and given and good amount of food and water after tends to get them in a lot calmer mood as the sun begins to dim

“Isabella is a RELIABLE sitter. We had a few issues on rover with a few sitters not showing up on time and not COMMUNICATING THIS. Which can create a lot of anxiety but Isabella definately helped ease the anxiety. She sent us pictures of athena the entire rime 🥹🥹 Athena really loved her, and we can see Isabella is a super sweet and empathetic person. She fed her on time, took her out to use the bathroom timely. Followed all directions! Definately keeping Isabella around. Thank you for always helping us!”


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!

About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals up to 4 dogs at a time! I love animals and animals always love me too. Taken care of my animals as well as other’s since I was 16. I currently work as a substitute teacher during the school year, and I am a babysitter and pet sitter on the side! I babysit regularly 2-3 times a week in the evening during the week. I am attentive and loving to the animals, aware of surroundings at all times, and happy to do any errands or favors needed to make me staying at you house even better while I’m there!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18! Friends and family have relied on me to feed, play, and walk their dogs when needed! I also have a 16 year old Shih Tzu at home and work for a pet supply company. I am mainly available on weekends. I work a full time job until 5pm on weekdays, but can walk, play or feed after 5:30pm most weekdays! I will make sure the dog is leashed when walking at all times and that doors are closed when indoors. I will make sure the water bowl is full and fed if instructed to do so!

“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!”


“Fermin has been extraordinary in taking care of Panda. From the very beginning, I have felt confident . The communication, photos, and videos have been exceptional! He is located in NJ but is available for hire in both NJ and NY. He is without a doubt the best pet caregiver I have ever had. I live in Manhattan and hiring him has been the best choice. I will definitely hire him again. I recommend him 100% and 1000%.”

My dog couldn’t wait to see her for his walks and would be waiting by the door when she got there. She also kept him for me over some weekend trips and did really well to keep him on his routine. She set alarms to make sure he ate at his normal times, and was always very attentive to his needs. And if you’re a clingy pet owner like me, she would send me updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. We built a great rapport and I knew I could always count on her. She has experience with a variety of pets, has helped foster, and grew up with pets of her own. Again I can’t recommend her enough - 11/10 she’s your girl!”
