Pet Sitters in South Plainfield, 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!!!

Rachael

Rachael left our apartment looking better than when we left! Great communicator (sent photos throughout the stay) and very professional. Our dog Max absolutely loved Rachael (and I think the feeling was mutual!). He had the best time with her and she was great at looking after him. Max would welcome back with open paws.

Stephania

Stephania was a great sitter. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! She was communicative before and during the sit and from the pics she sent throughout her stay, I could tell the dogs were enjoying themselves. Biscuit can be a little bit of a troublemaker and stephania was attentive to her and offered to take her to the vet after she snuck a chapstick as a snack.

Alexandria

Alexa was lovely. Very enthusiastic and keen to get everything right for us. Messaged us all the time with updates. Our dog Bart really loved her and seemed happier to see Alexa than us on our return!! Would happily recommend.

Kuldip

Kuldip was absolutely wonderful! Our little baby is quite elderly and needy, and she provided him the loving care he needed while we were away, with great attention to his special needs and issues. We received regular updates with pictures and videos, which was very reassuring to us concerned pet parents. When we returned, Reggie was freshly bathed and brushed, and he was in good spirits. We also found our home to be cleaner than when we left it, with everything fresh and tidy. We would have Kuldip’s back any time and highly recommend her to anyone needing superior pet sitting.

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.

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!

Shelly

Couldn't have asked for a nicer, more efficient couple to stay in our house and care for Jake. Jake took to them from the moment they came into the house - and even slept with them! Shelly kept us well informed, sending pictures every day. This was our first experience with house sitters, and all the rest have a tough act to follow. Thanks, Shelly and Jarod

Joan

Joan was incredible during her stay at our home with our dog, Obi. She was so communicative and went above and beyond in terms of keeping the house clean and ensuring our home was in order and Obi was well taken care of. We’d love to host her again and anyone booking her could rest assured that their home and pets were in good hands! She respected that we were on vacation but also seemed to read my mind around when to send updates, and asked questions as they came up. Thank you Joan!!

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!!

Dana

Dana was fantastic to work with! She made it clear from the get-go that her first priority were my pets and ensuring they were properly cared for. She was extremely organized and thorough in learning their routine and what needed to be done for them. During her stay one of my cats had short-term medical needs and she was on top of it, making sure he received his medication on time, letting me know if he was experiencing any issues and troubleshooting his care. Dana checked in with me daily to provide updates and photos and to check in regarding any questions or concerns she had about their care. This is the first time I've ever had someone stay with my cats in their home space and the experience was great! It made my cats much more comfortable to have someone like Dana present looking after them while I was away. Dana kept my space very neat and tidy and went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready for my return home. I would highly recommend Dana. It was a pleasure having her here!

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.

Trish

One of my favourite house sits of all time.
Lola is wonderful and easy to care for.
Trish and Dallas are great and their home is awesome. National park at the back door and beach down the road. Awesome!!

Cristiani

We had a wonderful and relaxing experience thanks in large part to the charming feline duo, the Yin-Yang of cats: Zahra and Vida. 
Zahra would always greet us at the door when we would comeback home and was always ready for a good play, while Vida was the most zen and calming presence.
Cristiani, the owner, welcomed us warmly and ensured we had all we needed for a pleasant stay.
A perfect blend of delightful pets and a caring host made our experience truly memorable. Can't wait to see them again!

Joshua

The sit was great. I am pretty sure I left a review before and don’t know why I am being prompted to do so again. Hope all is well with you all.

Kati

What a lovely sit this was. Kati was so welcoming and sweet from the moment we met. Home is wonderful, so peaceful with so many different birds, the out door cat came twice daily and also a raccoon came to visit each night, I named it Filomena. Shadow was very kind and liked to be talked to while being brushed.  Yoda stayed to himself most of the time but started to warm up to me later in the sit.  I would definitely sit for Kati again.

Chris

Chris and Amanda are very warm and welcoming. Woodrow is a sweet senior who I easily bonded with.  Everything you need is in the home.
You will need a car for this location as the closest groceries are about 2-3 km away. There are a  number of interesting locations that you can drive to. Woodrow is fine to leave at home while you do that. He also likes to come along, so remember to book a 4-door car. He’s a great driving partner. 
Thanks again Chris, Amanda and Woodrow.

Victoria

We had an amazing stay in Nashville at Victorias house! Dashi, Pickle and Chicken Boy are such fun characters. They love to play and are the best snugglers! We really bonded with them and will miss them so much. 

Victorias house is beautiful. Shes in the perfect location for so many great activities and truly if you see her sit come up, you will not regret applying. 10/10- Victoria, we love you and thank you for the best month!
