Dog Sitters in Hopatcong, NJ

Ranai was a fantastic house sitter and cat whisper. Highly recommend. We have two cats with very different personalities and both of them warmed up to Ranai quickly and ease fully. She was great about sending lots of pictures, videos and updates on both of them, all of which made us smile while we were away. In addition to her love and skill with animals, Ranai was extremely communicative, easy to coordinate with and left the house tidy and in great care. We would welcome her back anytime that she's back in the Bay!

Melina was AMAZING! I can’t say enough great things about her and how great she was with my dogs! I have 3 large dogs - 1 of which has arthritis issues with her hips & 1 has a need for constant attention, both of which she handled with ease. 3 large dogs in a large city is no small task and Melina exceeded all of my expectations! She did walks, gave tons of love, and sent great updates and pictures to me to keep my worry away! I honestly think the dogs were a little sad she had to leave to go back home. I will 100% recommend her to anyone and hope to book with her again!

Derek & Kate watched our kittens over a long weekend and we loved how communicative they were with us! Would definitely have them sit again.

This was Katherine's 2nd sit with us, & she was every bit as wonderful as she was the first time! She arrived exactly on time, she sent us updates and photos of Annabelle, who looked like she was having a great time, she was respectful of our dietary rules, she brought in the mail and packages, and she took out the recycling on time. She even did some repairs on our kitchen cabinets! The house looked as if no one had been in it the whole time we were away; she even changed the sheets! Most importantly, Annabelle was thrilled to have her stay while we were away! We definitely hope to have Katherine back to sit with Annabelle again!

Dani was an amazing sitter during this month long stay. Our senior dog Vader was not feeling well while we were away (vomiting/GI issues) and Dani made us feel like everything was under control in her care. She kept us posted on all of her detective work to find out what was going on with him, she coordinated with our vet for several at home visits and handled all medications impeccably. She adjusted and optimized his already complex food mixture depending on how his stomach was feeling. She was a great communicator through the whole thing and we really could not have asked for a better person to look after our dog. She went out of her way to ensure he was going to be okay, even waking up every 3hours in the middle of the freezing NYC night to walk him and send us updates (for several days in a row too). When we arrived home, Vader looked great and even celebrated our arrival with Dani by running around her - it was so cute! Dani also took amazing care of our appartement, she kept everything super clean and watered our plants while we were gone. She is seriously a ★ NEXT LEVEL SITTER ★, we could not recommend Dani enough!

This was a couple/family. That was absolutely delightful to work with. I would not only invite them back to my home to pet sit but also if they were in the area, I would welcome them to contact me if they needed a place to stay. They were kind, they were tidy, they were proactive and loving toward the dogs always thinking about what they could do, above and beyond. They took care of my home, as well as or better than I do myself and I never had any concerns. My dogs are very needy, they are loving, but very very wanting of attention and affection, and this family did not seem to mind at all and lavished them with everything that they could possibly want. I can't say enough good about this whole family, and I would highly recommend them, and definitely offer them the opportunity first again in the future any time they are in the area.

Helen has been a godsend! She's everything one could wish for in a housesitter... conscientious, kind, communicative, clean and tidy, and totally reliable. Competent in all aspects of caring for our home and elderly cat and quick to grasp everything about how our home functions. This included looking after our garden as well which, in the scorching days of a Spanish summer, is quite a task. Titania our cat clearly became attached to her and stayed by her side and chatted with her as she usually does with us...in fact I'm not sure we're not second best now we're home. Helen is remarkably self sufficient considering she's arrived here from the US and not been to this part of the world before. Luckily she speaks perfect Spanish. She booked buses online and took a few trips around but spent much of each day working online. She found her way around the town and used buses to visit the mountain villages. We were in touch on WhatsApp and had photos of Titania most days to reassure us. We arrived home late at night to an immaculate house and a few things in the fridge etc to keep us going over the weekend so we could draw breath and relax a bit the next day. Helen is immediately and immensely likeable and trustworthy, with a very positive and cheerful disposition.

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!

J was a stellar house and pet sitter. She was accessible and flexible about meeting for the first time and for getting together to introduce her and our dog, Jazz. She kept in touch with us daily by text with photos of Jazz. When she was concerned about something Jazz ate off the ground, she got in touch with us immediately and the situation was handled perfectly. (All was/is well). I could not be more enthusiastic in my referral for J. A lovely young woman and a great sitter.

Georgia provided wonderful care for my pup, April as well as my home. Frequent long walks, meet ups with April’s neighbor friends and clear, daily communication are reasons I highly recommend Georgia to other pet parents.

Donya and her family were beyond incredible sitters! They gave so much care and love to our our animals. We received up regular updates and photos without asking. They left the house in an immaculate state. Would have again.

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!
