Pet Sitters in Somerset County, NJ

carla

Carla was a wonderful pet sitter for Princessa. She is very organized and responsive. It was wonderful to return to a clean home and a happy kitty - thanks Carla!

Júlia

Julia proved to be an exceptional pet sitter - meticulous, communicative, and wonderfully self-reliant. From the get-go, she posed all the right questions, ensuring she was well-acquainted with our pets and home. Her diligence was evident in her timely updates about her arrival, departure, and the general well-being of our pets. Even when faced with unexpected hiccups, like our stubborn door refusing to open with the key code provided, Julia displayed remarkable patience and understanding as we guided her through the issue via text. Her kindness and affection towards our furry family members was evident, as they took to her immediately. Thanks to Julia, we were able to enjoy a worry-free vacation. We wholeheartedly recommend her and have let her know that we'd be delighted to have her back to care for our pets if the opportunity presents itself. With Julia, your pets are in safe and loving hands!

Derek & Kate

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

Dianni

Dianna is super sweet, and my shy doggy took to her instantly even with me not being there to facilitate their introduction. She left my home tidy and clean. I would gladly welcome her back any day!

Charles & Breanna

Charles and Breanna were AMAZING!! We set up a zoom chat before confirming any dates without any problems. They were able to come to the apartment before we left to show them around ( Harper loved them from the start). Once we left they went above and beyond by taking Harper on hikes and site seeing with them. We got multiple pictures/updates daily and we could tell Harper was having a great time! When we arrived back they had all dishes put away and laundry washed. We would highly recommend Charles and Breanna to take care of your animals! We wish every caretaker was as good as them!

Carolyn

Outstanding experience! Carolyn made our dogs pet sitting so unique and fantastic that I would highly recommend her! But not only that, when we came back everything was clean and in order. She will be missed but hopefully we can have her back soon! ♥️

Stacy

Stacy was absolutely great, start to finish. I would highly recommend her without any reservations.

J

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.

Ursula

Ursula is a wonderful sitter! This was the second time that she has taken care of Puddle (my cat), and each time, she's taken great care of him. She's a communicative sitter who proactively sent updates on how Puddle was doing throughout the sit (including adorable pictures of him, which made my day when I was traveling!), and she was also very responsive if I ever reached out either leading up to or during the sit. From the pictures of Puddle that she sent, I could tell that Puddle was really comfortable with her, which made me really happy to see while I was away. In addition to the great care that she took of Puddle, the apartment was tidy upon my return. I highly recommend Ursula as a sitter. Thank you, Ursula!

Michele

Our experience with Michelle was nothing less than perfect. We were able to meet in person before the sit which was helpful to establish our comfort with each other. We communicated nicely before the stay and during the stay. With Michelle our dogs, both older, were well taken care of! Having Michelle watch our house and dogs definitely made it easier to be away. She was absolutely wonderful!

Reem

She was very friendly, kind and well organised. It was a pleasure speaking to Reem in the lead up and during the time we were away. I would definitely recommend her.

Brian

We had a great experience with Brian De Luca. He was very reliable, kind and trustworthy. Our pets Stella and Pasqua couldn’t have a better sitter. We highly recommend him.

Sophie

I‘ve had a wonderful time at Sophie‘s place! Her dog Kiki made sure I didn’t miss out on my 10.000 steps per day and she was great company. I left the place deeply relaxed and lungs filled up with fresh countryside air. Cats were so easy to take care of and great company on the armchair. Thank you Sophie! You created a truly wonderful home :)

Susan

We had a wonderful time at Susan and Graham’s house! The both of them were very welcoming and provided us with everything we needed, even a full fridge! Graham picked us up (and dropped us off 🙏) at the nearest station, giving us a tour of the local area

Annie and Pippa were lovely company, following us everywhere we went, it was very enjoyable to stay with such happy pups 😇

And the horses were very easy going, absolutely beautiful and super calm.

Georgios

Taking care of Emy and Luna was such an enjoyable experience while staying in the beautiful and comfortable house of George and Marta. The two dogs are very low-maintenance and there are some nice walks in the area. Especially Luna loves to be around you all the time and Emy takes her time and keeps some distance but after a while she also fell for the belly rubs! 
It was easy to feel at home right away as George and Marta welcomed us with open arms. The instructions were well written down and communication between us before and during the sit was great. We definitely recommend this sit to anyone up for some furry cuddles and a great place to stay. Big thanks to both of you for having us!

Allison

Allison's condo is very comfortable and in a great walkable location close to Beacon Hill Park, the inner harbour and downtown Victoria. Ingrid the cat is shy and wary, so I moved quietly and gave her space, which seemed to be what she needed. She was easy to care for, and I enjoyed her quiet company.

Chloe

Devine was a pleasure to catsit - she was delightfully friendly and cuddly from the day I arrived. The apartment is modern and centrally situated in Randwick adjacent to The Spot - i’d Happily stay again!

Sarah

Nora, Noodle, Luna and Wilson are the most adorable bunch!! We loved spending time with them and wanted to adopt them all by the end of our stay
