Pet Sitters in Edison, NJ

Lizzy & Jack

Lizzy and Jack are Awesome!!!! They took such good care of my pups while we were away and we came home to an immaculate house!! Just really warm, genuine people. Such a pleasure!!!

Eric

Thank you so much Eric for being so completely trustworthy and loving with our pets. We’d be so glad to have you again.

Aurora

Aurora and Elie arrived before I left for my business trip. And they were super nice and we got to chat together a bit. I got updates a few times during the weekend, with a few pictures and detailed updates of how my cats were doing. My place was very clean when I came back and the kittens were happy. Would recommend them for sure.

Elizabeth Leilalani

I am pleased to recommend Elizabeth as a trusted house/petsitter. I received daily updates and photos. She pampered my cats with toys and treats. After being away for two weeks, I was greeted by 3 happy looking kitties. Elizabeth was prompt with communications before and during the assignment. She is calm, confident, and dependable. She graciously extended her stay by 3 days. I am grateful for her and past sitters for adjusting so well to seemingly little quirks and peculiarities of my home and pets. Elizabeth did a fine job.

Sharon

Sharon was great. Sent me pictures and updates. Got in and out of the house easily. House was in perfect condition when I returned. Thank you so much for taking care of my pup! Hope you reach out if you ever want to return to Philly.

Celeste & Matthew

Diligent, conscientious, detail oriented. Warm, generous, considerate, chatty and upbeat. House proud. Sent lovely updates. Explored our local neighbourhood and shared their experiences. We came home to a happy and well loved dog and a pristine house. Simply the best. We were so lucky to have them. Thank you so much.

Tatiana

Tatiana and Eric were absolutely fantastic, we truly could not have asked for any better people to care for our fur bbs while we were away. We wish that we could give them more than a 5-star review and if you are lucky enough to have them apply for your pet/house sit do not hesitate in engaging them. You will not be disappointed. We wholeheartedly recommend them. From the very beginning when we started communicating with Tati and Eric, they made us feel so comfortable, their well thought out questions put as at ease and it quickly became clear that they really care about and love animals. At our request, they arrived a few days early to get to know Keena, Ben and Rustle which we so appreciate and made the transition so much easier (on us). Ben loved them immediately and continues to head towards their room to sleep at night haha. Keena and Rustle are both a little slower to warm up but the fact that they did and so quickly was amazing, especially Rustle. Rustle really doesn’t warm up to many people and seeing videos of him getting love and attention made us feel so happy. We usually come back to a stressed cat so the fact that he didn’t even seem all that excited to see us speaks volumes about the care and attention he (they) received. While here they went above and beyond to care for our bbs and home, as well, their level of communication was just perfect which made us feel even more confident. Plus, if they noticed anything was off they would reach out right away to make sure that it was normal behavior. The whole housesit was seamless, they are clearly experienced sitters and loved our bbs like they were their own. Not to mention that our house was spotless upon our return!! You want Tati and Eric to be your sitters, trust us!! Eric and Tatiana are also just lovely people, we really enjoyed spending time with them before and after the sit and would welcome them back anytime. We wish them all the best in their travels and would love to think our paths will cross again in the future. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you both so much!

Ruth

I really appreciate Liz jumping in for a last minute sit. She was communicative, very clean and tidy, and Bella was very happy with her. I recommend her for future sits !

Suilem & James

Couldn't recommend Suiliem and James more! They were very self-sufficient and left the apartment as clean (if not cleaner) than when they arrived. You'd be a fool to pass them up!

Bhali & Vid

Bhali and Vid were incredible caregivers to my cat and my home! They were easy to communicate with leading up to their week-long visit and were very self sufficient. I also loved the little touches like sending artistic photos of my cat and a sweet and heartfelt welcome when I came home. I HIGHLY recommend them and will be inviting them back to my own home soon!!

Ricky

Ricky was reliable and responsive. My home was left tidy and clean.

Jennifer & Shawn

Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

Jim

Danika took care of my Yorkie Nina from 11/3-7.Nina was fine when I returned.Communication during my absence was fine and my apartment was clean and tidy.Only my opinion but not sure if Danika’s interest is so much dog or apartment sitting as is traveling and exploring different places.Not sure she was home a lot and if that is up front my neighbors were more than willing to stop in and assist.Handoff coming and going was not that much of a priority as well.All in all everything turned out fine but other sitters have been more interested in spending time with Nina.

Regina

It’s hard to beat the housesitting experience we had with Juara and Vinny over the last month. They are affectionate, playful, entertaining and easy cats who brought us so much joy and we already miss them! 😻

In other regards, the house is super comfortable, clean and clutter-free and has wonderful amenities like the jacuzzi, pool and gym. There is also a lake nearby which is perfect for running. The kitchen is well stocked and amazing to cook in. There is also 24-security and is tucked in a residential neighborhood surrounded by embassies. It’s an easy 10-minute walk to a very quality supermarket and shopping mall, and only a little further to tons of hawker stands and other commerce.

Finally, Regina and her family couldn’t be kinder. They are easy-going, communicative and friendly. Seriously a phenomenal sit in every way! We’d go back again in a heartbeat.

Jenny

Five Cats? They were no problem at all. We really enjoyed being in Jenny and David's lovely home as it is so easy to live in. They made sure we felt very much at home and asked if there was anything we needed. Nothing was too much trouble and they are lovely people.
All five cats were also a lot easier than we had anticipated, although having met them we were a lot more reassured as they are so good. Each has his or her own individual character and they were a pleasure to be with. We always felt relaxed and comfortable.
We were able to walk into Camberley town centre easily and the neighbourhood is peaceful; the neighbours pleasant. A lovely sit and we hope to be there again; but sadly we are heavily booked over the next year and could not meet their early 2019 dates.

Paul

Paul and Carisa's lovely pet Henry was a jewel. He was the chillest dog I've ever sat. He loved attention and play but easily kept himself occupied while I worked remotely. We took a couple of drives which broke up the routine but they weren't necessary. He's excellent on neighborhood walks and learned a new "hide and go seek" trick with his beloved squeaky toy. The home was full of all the comforts one seeks when sitting,... updated kitchen appliances, comfortable bed  and bathroom, and a tv and sound system with a large comfy sofa that will suck you into movie theater mode in 2 seconds! I loved my sit and hope to return to Henry soon!!!

Keith

I had a lovely time looking after Bella and Beau - two beautiful gentle dogs who enjoy getting out on foot and in the car.  There are lots of walks on the South Downs within a close distance to the property.  Brighton and the coast is a short drive away, so there are plenty of places to visit. The house is very comfortable with everything you need.  The wonderful patio area has views over the Downs. Keith gave me lots of valuable information on the sit so I was confident in looking after the dogs and the house.  I am looking forward to going back to sit with Bella and Beau in December :)

Rebecca

This sit was perfect.  BunBun and Elvis were such wonderful characters and so easy to look after.  Rebecca and Simon made me feel really welcome and the communication before and during the sit was excellent.  The house was in a great location just a 15- minute walk to Larkhall and was beautifully furnished and so homely.  I would highly recommend this house sit to anyone.

Sarah

Absolutely lovely hosts and adorable doggos! The house was well equipped and located within walking distance to public transport with great links to Glasgow and the surrounding area. Wonderful views from the bedroom window over the water and lovely walks to take the dogs on. I would happily stay again:)
