Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We call Cindy our dog, Zuke's, Fairy Dog Mother. She has been lovingly taking care of him for the past 9 years. HIs sister, Bonnie, recently joined the DJ crew this past year and we had no doubt she'd be taken care of as a pup. We truly trust Cindy with our fur babies and recommend anyone needing doggie daycare to go meet her. Your pup will thank you!
Cindy and Allie at The Dawg Joint are terrific!! My boy Henry gave them a run for their money but they were so patient with him and I am so thankful for that! I am also super thankful that Cindy made time to talk with me after about what she thinks we can work on together to make it a more enjoyable experience for Henry in the future. He is more handsome than ever!!
Cindy and Bobby are just fantastic! I have been taking my 2 dogs here for almost 9 years! Pups always look great and have a cutie new bandana! Highly recommend ☆☆☆☆☆
Cindy is amazing with my 2 dogs. One had been petrified to be groomed in several other shops, but runs in to see Cindy.
The Dawg Joint is just awesome! Cindy and Bob care for your pets like their own, They are also conveniently located in downtown Asbury Park. They cared for my puppy in their doggie daycare program. She had such a great time - she can't wait to visit! They also provide grooming services. I have a very large cat and they were so sweet and patient grooming her. I highly recommend them :)!
Cindy was super friendly and did a great job with our dog. We wouldn’t trust him with just anyone but we will be back.
So refreshing to have a place where my pup can play while I'm at the beach. The staff was super friendly. They returned my call promptly when I called to inquire about daycare. They sent me videos of Dallas playing. I was super pleased and Dallas will definitely be back! Thanks for taking such great care of him!
Today I took my puppies to The Dawg Joint for the first time and I COULDN'T be any happier with them. I loved how they took them in with so much love and kisses even though the pups were covered in sand. I love their haircut and can't stop smelling them. I am so grateful we have found such a great place walking distance from us.
I have been going to the dawg joint for 4 years and Cindy and Bobby are amazing. They always go the extra mile for my dog Coco. They fit her in when I really need it. Look after her if I run late and always do an amazing job grooming. After a truly scary experience at Petco I was so happy to find them and they are the only place I will take my dog.
One of the best groomers in the area — if not the best. They truly will spend hours giving your dog a perfect groom. They are very busy so be sure to call many days in advance !
Demeri and her team were so sweet and professional. Answered all of my questions (I have a dog that goes berserk when we try to trim his nails). They were caring and gentle with Bryn. Thank you, Yellow Roof
We love Yellow Roof Pet Care. We’re a bit biased because we know the owners, but that wouldn’t influence me to leave a positive review. They take excellent care of our dog and are always polite and professional.
Having our Newfie, Matthew, shaved down for the summer was a tall task for Yellow Roof. It took 2 sessions to get results. I can't say enough about the staff. The worked until 10 PM on the second session. The best around.
Very friendly staff. You and your pet will feel very comfortable. I am happy to find a place that will bathe her, brush her teeth, polish her nails and give her a temporary tattoo(pet safe). Prices that won't break your wallet. I highly recommend this place. UPDATE: my baby in the photos passed on 07/20/19 at 12:40am while admitted to the Garden State Vetinary Hospital. The Neptune Animal Hospital,with Rocco and Dr.Lorenzo saw my Nene on an emergency basis and I will always be greatful for the care and attention they gave on an emergency basis. We love our fur babies and when something goes really wrong, you definitely will feel better knowing that your vet (and wonderful staff,esp. Rocco) took the best care of the pet at this time.
I want to thank the team at Yellow Roof for their patience and care while grooming our 16 year old diabetic schnauzer Ace.The personal care and individual attention was priceless❤️
Great local spot. Treated our dog great. Thanks!
My visits are always pleasant for me and my two dachshunds. There treated with love and affection as if they were theres. The services are great in my book!
The Groomer and Staff at Yellow Roof take great care of my 1 year old pup. He always looks and smells amazing after his visits. I prefer to use the Yellow Roof over a chain store because they are more personable and experienced, and they know my pup.
I absolutely love this place. They take such good care of My puppy Gus. He’s been there several times now with nothing but positive results. The staff is very friendly and helpful and you can usually get an appointment rather quickly. These are truly good people. I once accidentally left my wallet there filled with cash. And not only did they call me. They brought it to me fully intact! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Nothing but positive experiences!
I took my dog here to be groomed for the first time today. I was really impressed by their friendly and helpful staff and the quality of care & grooming for my pup! We will definitely be returning!
Reasonable rates, friendly business , extra care for dogs , even has over night care.
Donna has been wonderful for our anxious dog. Tami warmed up to her so quickly - she normally takes days to weeks to be comfortable with a new person and Donna was able to get her out of the house on a walk from the very first day. Knowing that Tami is in good hands while we are at work gives us such peace of mind. We are so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her services.
Recently used Donna to take care of two dogs in my home. She was wonderful. She did an outstanding job. We texted each day for an update. The dogs were very happy upon return home. We definitely plan on using Donna again for future trips away!
Donna immediately connected with our puppy Cooper when they first met a year ago, and every time he sees her - even when she’s walking other dogs - still gets very excited! If Donna is taking him for walks, or Cooper is staying at Donna’s house when we are away, we feel totally at peace knowing he’s in great and caring hands!
Donna takes the best care of our senior dogs while we are away! They love spending time with her and we are able to relax knowing our dogs are well taken care of!
Donna greets Wesley so enthusiastically! She is very loving towards our pet and he is always so happy to go on a walk with her! Very flexible and accommodating to our needs! She rocks and our puppy loves her!
Donna is a very reliable and responsible person to watch your pooches. She's very affordable and I can rest assured my pups are well taken care of when she's in charge.
Donna has been my pet sitter for years. She is WONDERFUL!! She's always available and knows my cats needs. I recommend her highly!
Donna is great! She is always available when I need her and my dog is very comfortable with her!
Donna is great with our dogs. She is very reliable and responsive.
I’ve worked in the pet care industry for 6 years, so I know firsthand how important, yet difficult, it is to find trustworthy and caring people to take care of your animals. I found Erica and Chaz through a colleague when I was looking for a dog walker as my job got busier and it became more difficult for me to take my dog, Peaches, out in the middle of the day. They are the kindest and most caring human beings with her and have put up with her quirks so well and I would simply not trust anyone else, besides my parents, to take care of her. I adore both Chaz and Erica and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker, pet sitter or trainer!
I have had nothing but good experiences with staff of Bark at the Moon. They are always dependable and reliable, and have been very accommodating to changes in my schedule when they happen. Most importantly, they love my dogs as much as we do, so I know that they are receiving the absolute best care. A recent added bonus has been the “field trips” several times a week that has really helped my dog with her anxiety. I am so happy that I found Bark at the Moon to help care for my fur babies.
We love bark at the moon! We have a feisty puppy and Erica really is so patient and understanding with it all. We are so grateful to have her be available to us when we are out working all day to give our pup his much needed mid day lunch and walk. Cannot recommend their services enough; we would never be able to do this alone with their help. She always send us photos and updates via text about how he’s doing when she’s there, and I trust her wholeheartedly with our pup.
Bark at the Moon walked and fed Lily when I was out of town for a few days. They were incredibly kind and professional, and Lily appreciated their punctuality as well. They even gave me some tips on how to associate seeing other dogs with treat time. I couldn’t recommend anyone better.
I contacted Bark at the Moon late last winter, when I needed advice before adopting a sweet and snuggly but “difficult” dog. I had never met Erica before, but her experience with the Victoria Stilwell Academy gave me confidence that I could trust her input. During our phone call, Erica's insightfulness and realistic perspective about our situation furthered my confidence. She said she’d be happy to work with us if I decided that adopting this dog was the right decision for me. It was, and he and I have been happily working with her since then! Erica is personable, understanding, and genuinely cares about her clients and their needs. The more I talk to and work with her, the more I respect her insights and knowledge about dog training and behavior. She always asks questions about my dog and his habits, to be sure we’re working to treat the causes, not the symptoms. Erica taught us positive reinforcement-based tactics that work for his specific needs (and mine!). She also gave me pointers on things I’d already been working on, which turned out to be the keys to getting consistent responses from my guy. All of the things we’ve worked on have fed into one another, and I’m even seeing positive changes in certain behaviors that we haven’t addressed directly. To me, that’s a huge testament to her methods. It’s been a lot of work and there’s still more ahead, but we’ve made SO much progress in a pretty short amount of time. We definitely wouldn’t be where we are now without Erica’s help. Thank you, Erica!!
Erica takes care of my two cats, Kodak and Leica, when I'm out traveling. I never have to worry if they're being well cared for. She'll reach out with pictures and updates of how they're doing. I don't know a single other person that I'd feel more comfortable leaving my cats with than her. Bark at the Moon is the best and I'd be lost without Erica!
I recently rescued a puppy, Sadie, who had a rough start to her life. She was an incredibly fearful puppy and I was unable to comfortably groom her, get a collar on her or share a couch with her without fear of being growled at or snapped. Unfortunately, I tried a different trainer previous to Erica who actually recommended that I return my dog. I was feeling very lost and discouraged, but didn’t want to give up on Sadie. That’s when I found Erica and everything changed. Erica listened to my concerns and taught me positive reinforcement training techniques, which really helped to earn Sadie’s trust and reduce her fears. Sadie has blossomed into an incredibly happy, energetic puppy and I feel confident in the skills that Erica has taught me to apply them to future problems that may arise. I would recommend Erica from Bark at the Moon to anyone considering dog training.
If you're looking for am amazing dog walker/ dog sitter look no further. Bark at the moon LLC is absolutely AMAZING! Erica and her husband run an amazing company, I've had her care for my babies(dogs) for awhile now and have been very happy with her services. Both dogs have taken to them super fast which to me is a great sign, they are pet-loving, spoiling and compassionate about what they do. I highly recommend them if you want to feel comfortable and at ease when leaving you babies!
My senior dog, Morty, is medically fragile and completely deaf. The care provided by Erica and Bark at the Moon is unparalleled. I know my dog is in competent, compassionate hands with this excellent company - they have my utmost trust. His medications and foods are dispensed perfectly and communication with Erica is always clear. She is extremely precise with care instructions and I feel confident that everything is handled down to the tiniest detail. His deafness means he startles easily and cannot use verbal commands, but Bark at the Moon is so gentle and patient that he is always at ease with them. He had an unexpected surgery recently and the care provided by Erica while he was recovering was nothing short of exceptional. She made sure he was comfortable as possible and took him on short little walk in his cone. They have my profound gratitude for helping our most beloved family member when he needed it most. If you are looking for pet care, you've found it. Bark at the Moon is the best there is.
Bark at the Moon is the absolute best! Erica and Otis have a special bond and he looks forward to her weekly visits, he never shuts up about her. Every single aspect of dealing with this company is a treat. Incredibly professional interactions but also fun, the most qualified and caring individuals. We wouldn’t trust our little dude with anyone else. This is a glowing infinite recommendation for others to use this company for their pets.
