Dog Sitters in West Orange, NJ

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.

Loree

Loree did a great job looking after our pets. She was an amazing communicator. The dogs were comfortable with her right away and we felt good leaving them in her care. Our place was left tidy and neat. We would highly recommend her and would host her again.

Hannah

Hannah was a responsible and caring sitter for our home and our precious cat. Our cat had hurt her leg just a few days before we had to leave and Hannah had no hesitation to administer medication for the next week. Hannah also monitored her progress and reported to us. It was good to hear that our cat was no longer limping and was happy running around. We also had an unexpected issue, and along with our instructions, Hannah handled the situation calmly and sensibly. We fully recommend and wish Hannah the best for her next assignment.

Joanna

Joanna was an absolutely wonderful sitter while I was away on a two-week trip. She kept me updated with daily photos and I never had to worry at all while I was gone, knowing my cat and apartment were in excellent hands. I came home to a very happy, content cat. She is also a wonderful person and I enjoyed getting to know her throughout the sitting process. Would highly recommend Joanna!

Helene

Helene was super in caring for my pooch. He is overweight and she put him In a diet after consulting with my vet. I appreciate that she did it because my dog knows to manipulate me and I give in. Now he’s on a diet and so far so good.🤗 Joey loved being with her. She played with him, took for walks when he really didn’t want to go. I recommend her highly.

Hailey

Hailey was a fantastic sitter and we would love to have her back in the future. She watched our two dogs for almost two weeks while we were traveling abroad. We were confident in selecting her due to the many five star reviews she has. She sent updates with pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated. It was clear from the pictures that our dogs absolutely loved her! When we returned we found that our apartment was very clean, she took great care of it, and we returned to two happy, healthy pups! Hailey is truly a five star sitter!

Syeda

Syeda was wonderful! She was super friendly and communicative. On my return the cats were happy and the condo was in the shape I left it. Thank you!

Natalia & Garth

Great sitters!

Aurelie

The best dog sitter! We love having Aurelie take care of our sweet pup. She’s reliable, flexible with schedules and great at communication. She also took Stoli to play every day and took great care of him.

Maxim

Maxim was great with Moka and Vasco. He was punctual, super helpful, and communicated well with us about the house and pets. He left our house tidy, the plants watered, and the puppies in good shape. I felt he was ready to help us with anything we might need. Thanks, Maxim!

Magali

It was a pleasure meeting Magali and Shaun and having them care for our pets and home. We communicated quite a bit before they even traveled to our home. They kept me up-to-date on their travel plans and arrived the day before we left to go over everything. It was nice having them join us for breakfast too! Our dogs warmed up to them nicely and seemed well cared for. The goats and horses seemed well and they even mucked out the horse stalls for me. Our house was in good condition - I think they must have done some cleaning. And they washed all the towels and sheets they used. This program has been so wonderful and we've met some really great people!

Krystle & Hanna

Outstanding experience!! Krystle-Jane and Hanna were extremely attentive to my two senior pups. They took the time to write a care schedule for them, and they sent me frequent photos and videos. They did a wonderful job following all my instructions, including all my feeding and medication instructions. The apartment was cleaner than when I left, and they did a wonderful job tidying up. I’d highly, highly recommend and would book again enthusiastically!

Margie

Marta and Dave sat for me twice in a row totaling over 4 weeks and I couldn’t have been more pleased. They are welcome back anytime. 
It was clear from the start they take pet/house sitting very seriously, asking questions, taking notes, checking in as the sits approached, etc.  It was also clear how much they cared for my pets and home. They sent regular (almost daily) photos and updates, which I always appreciate and my home was very clean and tidy upon my return...there was even a cake in the fridge made especially for me!  
One of my hens took ill while I was away. They alerted me to this and were quite happy to take the many extra steps this required over a number of days, keeping me updated throughout. There is no doubt they are animal lovers and I’d be happy to trust my home, dog, cat, and 5 hens with them again.

BRETT

Ricki was great! Clegg really enjoyed her company.

Bryan

Very good experience on my end. Absolutely, no complaints.
