All Pets Welcome

Not just dogs and cats

Our team has hands-on experience with a wide range of animals — if it lives in your home, we can care for it.

Dogs & Cats

Walks, feeding, litter, play, and medication — including seniors, puppies, and nervous pets who do best at home.

Birds, Fish & Small Pets

Cage cleaning, feeding schedules, and tank care for birds, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters.

Reptiles & Exotics

Snakes, lizards, turtles, and more — our sitters are comfortable with feeding routines most services won't touch.

Why In-Home?

Better than boarding — often for less

Kennels and doggie daycare mean strange sounds, unfamiliar animals, and disrupted routines. In-home pet sitting keeps your pet where they're happiest, at a comparable cost — standard visits are just $30, quick visits $25. Add $3 per additional pet beyond two. Visit our rates page for full pricing.

FAQ

Pet sitting questions

Yes — our sitters administer pills, liquid medication, and injections (including insulin) at no extra charge. Just walk us through the routine at your meet-and-greet.
If your home has a door or garage code, we're happy to use it. Otherwise, we provide a lockbox free of charge so your key never leaves your property.
We recommend 2–3 weeks ahead, especially around summer and the holidays. Requests within 48 hours should come by text to (973) 557-4407 — last-minute availability isn't guaranteed and an additional fee applies.
