“Michael was a pleasure from my first message- very responsive and communicative. He provided drop in visits for us since our boy can be a lot to handle outside the house. Michael was up for the task, and put us at ease. Great communication throughout and beyond kind and flexible to accommodate changes to our schedule. Will definitely call on him in the future :)”


“Stefanie is hands down the best pet sitter we have ever had! She stayed with our dogs for 5 nights while we were on vacation and since then we have asked her to do drop by visits on days my husband and I have to go into the office and we also booked her again for the end of the month while we are doing another quick getaway. She’s responsible, kind, and my dogs absolutely love her. Our pets are like our children, so to have found someone we trust with them is absolutely invaluable to us!”


“It's such a comfort and reassurance to know Geoff and Jenny are taking excellent care of our two cats when we're away. They're attentive, patient, and can deal with our senior boys' special food and medication needs without issues. I'm so happy we can count on them!”

I like to get anything approved prior as I understand pet anxiety and stress can be possible.

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats. I lived with my cousin and her dog for some time so her dog became my adopted dog. I enjoyed taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she is happy which made me happy. After some time, I moved out and got a cat. My cat was very playful, had a unique funny and cute character. But unfortunately she got very sick. There were many veterinary visits to take her to, administration of medications and making her last living few weeks as best as possible. I enjoy taking care of pets. I am an animal lover and am passionate about all animals. I currently have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pet’s needs. Both mornings and early afternoon work best for Monday through Friday :) I am respectful of my client’s home and treat pets as if they are my own. I am attentive and responsive to pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy.

“Stephanie was great. Took very good care of my little boy. Made sure he was well stimulated and fed. Took him out for plenty of walks, etc. Would highly recommend Stephanie for anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


“Tricia was very kind, professional, and thorough. She asked if she could bring her kids along to help and i was just as pleased with how well mannered and polite they both were with all of my animals! Would definitely recommend her services, she is they type of person you would hope to have watching over your animals while your away!”


“First time using Rover app service, Found Christine, she was great with Tiger and her job. Completed assignments that we asked her to watched over Tiger for 2 drop in visiting and took him for walk as well. Thank you Christine for help us checked in Tiger.”


“I was grateful for Donna's help sitting for my two cats during a holiday. The cats warmed up to her immediately as did I. She was loving and attentive to their needs, monitoring one of my cats with a finicky stomach and going above and beyond to make sure both were happy and healthy while I was away. I would definitely use her services again.”


About: Hi! I am here at your service! I’ve taken care of neighbor's and friend's pets for the past five and a half years. I am very loving and caring, I would always treat the dogs as my own. I am very good at reading behavioral and nonverbal cues. I have two doggies at home who are playful and full of energy. My home has a large yard and fenced-in. In the summer I have another home which is also fenced in and lots and lots of space. Services are welcomed at both places. if a boarding request is after 4pm then an extra night charge would be added. Thank you for understanding. Hope to hear from you soon! I work in education, therefore I am open daily after 4 pm and free every weekend. I am off during school breaks and holidays as well. I am very sanitary and take care of all needs of pups. I am comfortable with wiping down dogs, brushing teeth, to hand feeding. My dog requires certain care due to her anxiety, which I am used to accommodating to.

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 worked in a doggy day care for about 1 year. I have always loved dogs/ animals. I love to play with them and make sure they are comfortable. I’m looking for a fun side job for the summer, that will keep me productive, and help pass the time. I will have a lot of free time this summer. I am very loving and open towards animals. Even though im allergic to cats I still play with them because they are just soo cute.

About: I have extensive background in physical training and rehabilitation, working as a music therapist and Canada, and now teaching at a private school Englewood! I can bring a well varied set of skills for you and your pet! I am currently working less over the summer as I am a teacher, and would love to make more animal friends by walking and dog sitting as needed I will be able to provide a play time with the animal, as well as attend to any in all services that the animal would require.

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

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: I own a dog, she’s a shitzu and she’s 3 years old.

About: Since I was a child I have been surrounded by pets. My parents loved animals very much. In 2017 with my wife we started the pet sitting service and we ourselves have an adorable little dog called "Panda" Currently I dedicate myself completely to the pet care service, so I have all day to walk, play and take care of your pet with love and care. My service includes being in constant communication with clients through video calls or photos so that they can see their pets and observe how they are doing.
