“Jennifer was very nice and kept me updated throughout Olivers overnight stay. This was his first time being away from home so I was a little bit nervous, but she provided multiple pictures and videos which kept me calm. She responds very quickly and has open communication. He went on lots of walks which I know he enjoyed. At pick up she gave me feedback on his behavior during his stay which I appreciated. I’d book with Jennifer again, I know my baby was safe and well taken care of!”

“Yuberkis did an amazing job caring for my sweet boy Dudley! It takes a lot of patience to care for French Bulldogs with all of their skin allergies & the treatment of their skin folds. She followed Dudley’s detailed treatment regimen to the tee & put my mind at ease while I traveled out of town. He had an amazing time playing with her dog while soaking up some sun in her beautiful backyard. She is patient, considerate and great with communication while caring for your fur babies. Dudley & I thank you sooooo much!!!”
“She is incredibly responsible and full of love. She answered all my questions about Kami and explained everything in detail. I will definitely ask for her help again next time.”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”

About: Hi there! I’m a 26-year-old animal lover living with my partner, and one lovable senior pup. Fred, our senior dog, is the gentlest soul you’ll ever meet. All fur babies boarding in my home are friendly and used to being around other animals. However, most remain separated until acclimated for safety reasons. (Please request solo boarding at time of reservation if you’d prefer your fur baby not to be with other animals) We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your furry friend to feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away, so I’m here to provide a calm, caring environment for your pet while you're gone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or outdoor playtime, I’m happy to match your pet’s needs and routines. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby I work from 9am to 2pm, so I handle all walks, playtime, and feeding for my pets from 7-9am before I head out. When I get home around 2:30pm, I do another round of walks, playtime, and feeding. At 12 I come home for lunch and do snack time. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to fit your fur babies needs please discuss any special requests with me. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 2:30pm and weekends after 10am, making it easy to care for your pets while accommodating my schedule. Whether it’s for a play session, walks, or just some cozy cuddle time, your pet will feel right at home with my flexible routine. I offer pet care in my home, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet will enjoy a structured routine with feeding, playtime, and walks, all while being surrounded by my friendly fur family—Fitzgerald, Westley, and Fred. I’m experienced in providing special care, like administering medication or post-surgery recovery. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet's specific routine and needs. Before boarding, we’ll have a conversation to understand your pet's wants and requirements, ensuring they have the best possible stay with us.

As always, Brez took care of our baby. She’s communicative and sweet and loves Stephen when he’s with her as if he was her own.
Christian and his family was amazing! Misiu enjoyed every moment with them. Christian updated me everyday on misiu and took pictures of his daily activities. Misiu had a VIP experience! I would recommend Christian to my family and friends. I would also rebook him in the future! Thank you Christian for taking care of misiu while we were away for 3weeks.
Evelyn is always so great with Kendrick! She gives him the attention he needs, gives him all the cuddles and love. We always feel good when we go away knowing that he is in great hands! We would recommend Evelyn to anyone who needs a good dog sitter.
Karla was amazing with Max while we were away on vacation! He was definitely on his own vacation as well! Worries eased instantly with Karla’s constant communication and care for Max!!
Leo became diabetic and blind in the weeks leading up to our vacation. Kat and her family took great care of him inspire of his diagnosis. Thank you❤️🐶
Denise was great with my doggie Zoey!!! She was very reliable and always sent updates while I was away on vacation. Zoey seemed very happy when I picked her up! Would definitely recommend and book again!
We had an amazing experience with this dog sitter! They took such great care of our three dogs, showed genuine love and attention, and kept us updated the whole time. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely use them again—highly recommended!
Alin is AMAZING and SO good with dogs!! I absolutely cannot recommend her services enough! All my anxiety about being away from my dog Winnie for the first time was instantly relieved when I met Alin and her husband! They were incredibly warm people, greeting me with excitement and kindness, and showed the same kindness to Winnie, letting her get adjusted to their apartment with patience. Initially I was worried about Winnie being too high-energy for a boarder, as she needs at least two walks a day, plenty of playtime, and generally can be a bit of a handful, but Alin completely surpassed all my expectations and took Winnie out for constant playtime and walks! She sent me lots of updates (photos, videos) of Winnie playing and exploring in their beautiful outdoor space, in which my Winnie always had a big smile on her face! Not having to worry about Winnie (other than if she’ll even want to come back or not LOL) made my vacation SO MUCH more enjoyable! Alin is the pet-sitter/boarder every pet parent dreams of, and I will absolutely be booking again!
Kathy took such great care of our dog Teddy during our first long trip away. Couldn't be happier, thanks!
We leave our dog for a last minute boarding for a night and she taking care of our dog like her own. For sure we will use her again if will be in the area.
Jasmin was a wonderful caregiver and very accommodating. I really appreciate her kindness and care and will use her again!
Super caring and truly treats our pet as if he’s her own. Our dog didn’t even look back at me when I dropped him off!!! He was sooooo excited for another stay with Alexandra. 🥰
Jenny was such an amazing sitter for my nervous girl Sansa! This is the first time since we moved to NJ a few years ago that we left Sansa at a sitter’s place for over a week. We were very nervous especially given her temperament but Jenny and her dogs were so good with her, and Jenny’s experience with rescue dogs came in handy while dealing with our girl. We will definitely be going to Jenny for future sittings.
Valentina is an amazing person. She was very accommodating and DMX was a family member to her. I was able to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind that my fur baby was happy and safe. She sent videos and pictures and took him on long walks - I picked him up happy and smelling good.
Jamie was great! Sent photos, shows us around her home, asked about details and instructions. Our dog Benny was treated like royalty and was happy when we picked him up. Jamie treats dogs like her own, and Iit shows
Michael did an amazing job taking care of Nari and Bori! He updated us daily on how they were doing and did a great in making them feel comfortable. Fin was a great friend as well as she really helped Bori gain more confidence. Definitely would leave my pets with him again!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Zhe provided for my pup Mia! From start to finish, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. Zhe kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Mia was in great hands and having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Zhe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
We had an amazing experience with Boris and his wife. They took excellent care of our dog, Soba for four days, providing updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. Soba was happy and well cared for when we returned. A big plus is that they also have a dog, Zukko and the two got along so well and had a great time playing together. We truly appreciate their professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
Another great stay with Endre! Endre goes above and beyond in caring for our dog. He is patient and so kind to our girl and you can tell that she really loves him by the way she makes herself at home in his presence! The daily updates of pictures and videos of our dog in action playing with toys, running around on their walks, gives me and my family peace of mind that our dog is in good hands. Endre is simply the best!
I would highly recommend Valeria.. She took really good care of our Milo.. She went above and beyond.. I would give her 10stars if it was an option. Our Milo is a senior dog. And she gave Milo the love and care as if he was her own. If anyone would ask me for recommendations, I would give them Valeria’s info. I would trust her with Milo again. Thank you so much Valeria ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
