Pet Sitters in Avenel, NJ

5 out of 5 stars! Carmel took such great care of my girl while I was away! Belly full of treats and lots of lovins. She sent daily updates along with pictures which put my mind at ease. Was easily accessible and just an overall joy working with. She treated my kitty as if she were her own. She even took the initiative to make sure my cat was more comfortable during a heatwave by running the air conditioner for her! She also did a little light housekeeping! Will definitely recommend to friends in area . Holding on to Carmel’s # for future dates fur sure!

Once upon a time, this rating would be higher. I went away last week and Carmel was hired (and paid in cash, in advance) to take care of my animals. That included walking my two dogs. Two days into my vacation, I looked at my Ring doorbell camera and noticed my dogs weren't walked even once. Initially, Carmel lied to me and insisted they were being walked. It wasn't until the next day that she admitted she wasn't walking them, saying they were going on the wee wee pad and getting exercise from throwing the ball around. So here I am, panicking in another country. Thankfully, my friend was around to take over. I told Carmel to leave the money and my keys in my garage. She kept the money for the times she was there. If I were her, I would have been embarrassed and left the whole thing. But I can understand keeping some. The problem is she kept more than she was supposed to and didn't deduct for the fact of not walking them! This isn't about the money to me, but the principle. Of course, I'm blocked and she stopped communicating. This is someone who is allegedly licensed and insured. I DO believe that Carmel is a good person and loves animals. But what she did is wrong and others should know (just in case).

Carmel & her team are the best!!! My dog loves them! My house is clean, my instructions are followed and the photographs are welcome when I'm missing my baby!

Spoke with owner--very accommadating--expect to do business soon

My dog loves Nina and her home almost as much as his own family and home (and this is coming from someone who is basically obsessed with their dog). Nina and her husband, Jeff, are so loving and attentive and I trust them implicitly with him. I know that when he is with them, I have nothing to worry about and he is in the best possible care. I’m so grateful to have them down the street from me and couldn’t possibly recommend them more strongly. They are THE BEST!

This is the first time I have had my dog taken care of while we were away with someone other than family and I honestly could not have found a better person than Nina!! Leo connected with her the minute she walked in the door and Nina took care of him just like family. I will definitely be using Nina’s Pooch and Kitty Pet Care again!!!

Nina is a wonderful caregiver! Our two dogs absolutely love going to her place. She is attentive to their personalities and needs and treats all of the pets in her care with kindness.

Nina and her husband Jeff are the dynamic duo. We started having them take care of our Cockapoo Bailey when he was a puppy. He absolutely loved spending time with them and they have taken care of him overnight multiple times and almost every day. They are extremely trustworthy and Bailey feels like he has a second home. We are extreme dog lovers and think the world of Nina and Jeff.

I am so happy that I found a reliable cat sitter in Westfield! We just moved to the area and didn't know anyone who could come feed our cat when went away for the week. I am so relieved to have found Nina and Jeff. They are so friendly and responsible. They came over and had an introductory meeting so everyone felt comfortable before we left. Our cat looked content and well-taken care of when we got back from our trip. Will definitely be using them again!

I am so glad I found Nina's Pooch and Kitty Care! My cat was SO much happier at home, being taken care of by Nina and Jeff. They did an excellent job, coming in twice a day to feed and check up on her. I don't plan on using a kennel again, as long as I have Nina and Jeff!

I have been using Nina for over 2 years now and am so thankful I found her. She and Jeff take such good care of my pup Remley so I never worry about leaving him in their care. Remley is 8 yrs old and loves spending time with them and Benji....in fact he seems a bit disappointed when I show up to take him home : ). Highly recommend!

Nina and Jeff were great to work with! Very pleasant, responsive, and detail-oriented. They were truly invested in making sure our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Would definitely recommend their services.

We used Nina to walk our dogs while we were on vacation.Our entire experience was great, they were punctual, professional and very good with our dogs.I would not hesitate to use them again.

Nina is wonderful and it's so great to have someone close by who we fully trust to watch our furry family member while we are traveling.

Jen was very helpful through out the entire process with taking car of my dog Milo. She provided me with video and pictures of Milo to assure me that he is okay and in good hands!! That was a big plus for me since Milo is a big part of our family. I would highly recommend her to friends and family. I will be using her in the future again

Jen groomed both of my 2 year-old Cane Corsos today… they are fairly high energy and she was alone… I was a bit anxious over it but knowing she takes care of my best friend’s dog, I chilled out… and it was ALL worth it because my babies were good and came out of her place calm and clean and nails clipped and that is something that is NOT easy to do! I’d go back a million times over! My two are camera shy but I have pics of them not from today… Caspia is on the left and Roman is on the right ♥️♥️

I reached out to Jen’s Pet Care to have someone check in on our cat. Jen stopped by twice a day to change litter, fill the water bowl, and give insulin shots twice per day. She sent me pics of our cat each time she visited which was really nice. I highly recommend her and plan to use her again around Christmas time.

Jen is fantastic! Seamus loved her from the first minute he met her? I have varying hours and I can always depend on her to take great care of my dog I can’t say enough great things

Jen is great! She’ll update you with pictures, she’s very responsive and patient when it comes to any questions you have, my 135 pound Rottweiler Phoenix did great with her and he’s not normally good with strangers. I left him with her overnight as a last minute plan and she thankfully accommodated for me when it came to drop off/pick up times. I’m so glad I gave her services a chance, & I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again :)

Jen provides a wonderful service - we used her dog walking services and she always came in the time frame promised and sent photos of the dogs being walked. She is kind and caring- highly recommend!

Our dog Bailey loves Jen. Our experience with Jen has been exceptional. She is flexible, very responsive and reliable.

I used Jen’s pet sitting service for a 4th of July trip. It was such a relief to know my two cats and fish were well taken care of while I was away. She was incredibly responsive, sent twice daily pics of my cats, and followed my feeding and playtime instructions. I’ll definitely be using Jen’s service in the future and I highly recommend!!

Had a great experience leaving my cat with Jen for a little over a week. Got daily updates and my cat was well taken care of. If you are looking for a cat sitter or boarding service I highly reccomend Jen.

Highly recommended! Jen watched our pup while we traveled out of state for about a week. We received daily photos and videos to keep us at ease and happy while being away. She was great and our pup will definitely be staying there again in the future!

Always a pleasure to work with Suzanne & Amy of Paws and Claws Superb Pet Care. Whether it is for a day or a week, I always have confidence in their care. I know that my two dogs will be well taken care of and loved while we are out. A big thank you from Baby and Chloe!

We are so glad we found Paws and Claws. Suzanne is amazing. In the past, we had always had our friend care for our two cats and our house while we were away. When he became unavailable, we were concerned about finding the right person to trust with our kitties and our home. After much research, we decided to give Suzanne a try. We are so glad we did! Upon meeting Suzanne, we were instantly at ease with her. She is an obvious animal lover, and our cats took to her immediately. She has a wonderful personality which made us feel very comfortable entrusting her to take care of everything while we were gone. Suzanne fed, watered, and scooped the cats, of course, but she will also take care of any messes they may leave (hairballs, etc.), will administer medicine, if needed (we didn't, but of could in the future), and spends time playing with them. We wanted our cats to be cared for, of course, but we also wanted someone who would give them some love and affection while we were gone. Each day, Suzanne texted us with a photo of the cats and an update. It was very reassuring to know, and see, that they were doing well. Beyond the cats, Suzanne took in our mail, watered our plants, and took care of a few minor things we had forgotten to do when we left for our vacation. She is organized, thorough, and reliable. Before we found Suzanne, we were very nervous trusting a "stranger" in our home and giving them full access when we were away. We couldn't have made a better choice with Suzanne, and we know we will be relying on her in the future.

My life is enriched by having Paws & Claws Superb Pet Care in it. The owner Suzanne is so kind and amazing and Amy is one of the most caring, sweet and dependable people I know. Amy loves our pets as if they are her own, always remembering all of their likes. She goes above and beyond altering schedules and making last minute accommodations to meet our needs, helping to clean up messes, dispensing medications, feeding by hand, baking special cookies for her birthday, giving extra cuddles and has truly become like a family member. Our Annie loves her and I too developed a special bond with Amy and I honestly don’t think I could ever feel so comfortable with or entrust my fur baby to anyone else.

Suzanne has taken amazing care of my dogs over the years. We’ve been using her for at least 10 years now and I know that I can trust her. You can tell she truly loves the pets she cares for and the pets love her back. Highly recommend!

Paws and Claws came so highly recommended by other pet lovers as myself cannot wait for us to use them! Sadly, she was booked when I wanted to use her. Very pleasant speaking with Suzanne!

Paw and Claws is amazing. My dog Horton is a delicate special needs chihuahua who requires a lot of attention. Suzanne and her sweet helpers go above and beyond to make sure that he's taken care of and given the attention that he deserves. I am never worried about him when I'm at work because I know that Paws and Claws will be there soon. They also doted on my late magical tabby, Frankie, and they grieved with me when I lost him. They are lovely people. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.

Suzanne and Katie are awesome! They looked in on my rabbit, Buddy, while I was away. They gave me daily updates with pictures! They completely made me feel at ease and I knew Buddy was getting great care! Thank you!! 😃 …

We just had a wonderful first experience with Paws and Claws Superb Pet Care, Suzanne was incredible with our 2 older and quirky dogs. She is reliable, very attentive to ours and our dogs needs, loving to the dogs and extremely trustworthy. All of our directions were followed perfectly and we received a text and picture update every time she visited which was great and very comforting. Even when an unexpected situation came up Suzanne handled it perfectly, calmly, and professionally. I can’t say enough great things about her, we look forward to calling her for all future dog sitting and I will definitely recommend her to friends.

I can’t say enough great things about Suzanne and the Paws and Claws team! I got a puppy during the pandemic and needed someone to walk him a few times a week when I returned to the office. Not only is Suzanne is great with my dog, but she sends messages/pics when she’s with him and she is always very responsive and reliable. Highly recommend Paws and Claws!

Amy and Suzanne are absolutely the BEST! Communication is excellent, with photos and/or videos with every visit, our pups adore them. I truly trust Paws and Claws Suberb Pet Care, and feel so lucky to have found them.

I immediately felt comfortable with leaving my dog Jazzy with Ajsha. I was not disappointed. She took very good care of our baby and I was very glad I chose her as our sitter.

The last time my dog stayed here overnight, the skin on her paws were raw/coming off when I picked her up and she was bleeding with no explanation why. She was also put in isolation for her energy (on multiple occasions) and I wasn’t informed of this until after this incident that happened last December. When I asked them about this, I was told she has a lot of energy and all of the dogs aren’t as social; I didn’t appreciate them isolating my dog who is social. My dog views that as a punishment. She’s very friendly and playful; if I knew they were isolating her I wouldn’t have taken her there so often to socialize with the other dogs. If your dog is hyperactive even in the slightest, don’t come here. I wish I spoke up sooner. This incident happened last December and it was not handled well. They were very secretive and defensive when I asked why she was bleeding. Their manager called me to tell me that even though she had a lot of energy they still boarded her which felt like a guilt trip. If you couldn’t safely board my dog, then you should have denied her. You may be wondering why I am leaving this complaint now, and it’s because I was never give footage of her stay and I still to this day wonder what happened. Attached are some cleaned up photos. I was also never discounted or offered anything after this incident, although I did not ask for this.

Recommend! Super convenient (esp for commuters) and truly exceptional staff! A bit pricey and I really wish there were cameras to look in on our doggos.

Pupz Club is great. I work nearby and drop Katy once a week while I'm at the office. It's conveniently located in Rahway across from the train station. Everyone greets you with a smile and is ready to take our best friends for a fun day of activities. Katy was a little anxious in the beginning but now she is enjoying it very much. In the afternoon when I pick her up they tell me how she did, if she had her lunch and share any other highlights for the day. Highly recommended.

We took our 4 month old puppy Kylo for the first time here to get him started with socialization and the caregivers were so kind and they uploaded these gorgeous photos to their instagram along with videos. I love being able to see how my baby is doing while Im at work. He came home to eat and straight to his mat relaxing for the rest of the day. Tired pup is a good pup! Lol We LOVE pupz club!! Thank you!

I’m so sad to be posting this review because Pupz Club used to be so good but last week, I couldn’t believe how much everything has changed. I was waiting in the lobby with my dogs to use the self wash station. I looked through the window to the doggy daycare section to see one dog bite another in the face, another dog peeing in the corner with the employee completely ignoring their surroundings (the bite/the pee) with headphones and staring at their phone. The dog wash has increased to $21/use when this is what the room/station looks like (see pictures). Hair all over the room and tub, cieling panels coming down, scratches all over the walls, the handbrush full of hair. I’m so disappointed to see how it has changed over the years.

I cannot say enough great things about Pupz Club. Our dog Dusty LOVES going. He comes home tired and happy every single time! We've also boarded him overnight and it was perfect! He got to play all day the day before and when he woke up, the whole day after. He was not stressed or worried at all when we picked him up. Just panting and happy as ever! Each month they have "pawtys" with a theme. SO much fun to dress him up. You can tell each employee really loves your pet like their own- and our dog loves them right back! They also have self serve dog washing which saves us sooo much trouble. They do all the cleaning up! We've also had our dog beds washed in their industrial washer and dryer. I can go on and on. If you join the Pupz Club family- you will not regret it!

I started bringing my 1 year old golden retriever here and everything has been great so far. She seems to love Pupz Club and it’s 10 minutes away from where i work so it’s a very convenient pick up and drop off for me! I love knowing my pup is near by and in a safe and friendly environment! The staff all seem super sweet and the facility is very cute!

We absolutely LOVE pupzclub! We have brought Leo there since he was a puppy and it’s the only place he doesn’t have separation anxiety from me! He runs in and doesn’t look back every time. All of the employees have always been friendly and helpful and I love the picture and video updates throughout the day on their Instagram. It’s a great place for pups to socialize and play and we are so thankful for how good they are to our Leo.

I love Pupz Club! The management and staff are great and very attentive! They show Sidney so much love. I feel comfortable and confident leaving him in their care! I highly recommend them.

I visited this business for the first time with gained interest in boarding my dog 2 weeks ago. The young ladies who initially took my information were very helpful and polite. The owner energy was a little off which made me feel a little uncomfortable at first to even consider having my door stay in her facility. My family and I had a planned vacation that we could not cancel. I brought my dog in for a temperament visit to see how he adjust with other dogs and the staff. .My dog is very sweet and attached to me since Covid. The boarding facility we normally use didn't have any space for this weekend, so we decided to give Pupz Club a try..They said he passed his temperament visit and agreed to keep him for the 4 days. I arrived to check my dog in, he was acting weird. Just like children, when they feel they were not treated nice they act out.. She refused to board my dog, because she said he had anxiety and didn't even try to accommodate me with other suggestions to help him relax. We had a flight leaving 4 hrs from the check in time with Pupz Club. It took me 2 hrs and 12 phone calls to find a boarding that would take my dog at last minute. If my husband and I didn't find one to keep our dog, we would have lost a couple of thousand dollars because of this lady rash decision. She was more worried about my dog jumping up on her gate, than to accommodate a new customer. I will never refer none of my friends or family members to this place. The facility that did take my dog in last minute, his energy was so different and calm. Make me think, why he tried to escape. Horrible Customer Service .No Accommodations For My Dog.

Have used Home Pawsabilities a few times and am always satisfied. My pup is always taken care of and I am kept informed with texts and pictures so I know all is well. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend! Very happy with the care my pup received :)

Left my dog there few times. My dog was safe , comfortable and happy to be there. Great service from a pet lover.

We have been using TK's services for the past year and I am always pleased with their professionalism and excellent service. I highly recommend them!

Friendly, reliable, courteous and dependable service. My dog loved it so much, he didn't want to go home.

We have found them to be very dependable and professional.

TK Petsitters has always been a reliable resource for our pet sitting needs. I've relied on them for over 10 years and have never had any issues. They are courteous, trustworthy, reliable and affordable.

They are the best. Do not hesitate to trust them!

Diamond Paw took amazing care of my puppy Nova while I was on vacation. They are friendly, clean and take great pride in what they do. I can leave her there without a worry in the world knowing she is in great hands. My puppy loved it!! I am happy to have found such an amazing place for when I am unable to take her with me.

Love it here!! Took care of my Yorkie like a king! Very clean area and a lot of space for any size dog. Melody made sure my dog was taken care of clean the while time he was there. Definitely would recommend for anyone who needs someone to have their dog taken care of.
