Cannot thank Miranda and her team enough for taking such good care of our dog! We use NJ Pet Sitters for their dog walking service weekly and we used them for their overnight services for our wedding on 02/19/2022. We can tell the difference when we get home that our 5 year old Lab was taken care of and is happy. Not only did Leah take great care of our dog, but she also left a detailed time sheet of her walks with our dog and his daily activities. We will absolutely be using them again, and will recommend NJ Pet Sitters to everyone!

My convo with Miranda seemed to go well when I called. My dogs had meet and greet 3 weeks ago with the sitter. After that zero communication about our up and coming FIRST overnight away from my kids. I'm apprehensive about handing away keys to my house to a complete stranger! But because of her reviews we did so. So now I never met you and I only met your girl one time. How vulnerable is that!

The day comes before we're ready to leave and I do not receive a call. Nothing at all saying do not worry we are going to be in your home and taking care of your family members. Nothing!. So as you can imagine I did not go. This is my home my dogs are my family I think it would have been very professional to do a call the day before and say keep your mind at ease we got this. Especially since it was the first time and I don't know you at all. I receive confirmation to get my hair done My nails etc. One would think I would get a call to watch my kids. Needless to say I would never use this company nor recommend it. Find someone who cares

I used NJ pet sitters for the first time. I was in a bind because my training facility did not have the boarding dates to accommodate my dog so I was panicking. Miranda and her team at NJ pet sitters were super professional and reliable. My rescue pup is super anxious and has major separation anxiety and has not been away from us since we got her last year and her care taker Sam made sure to form a relationship with her and gain her trust for the week. She was super and took care of not only our girl, but our home as well. Highly recommend!

My Husband and I have been using NJ Pet Sitters LLC for several years now and have never been disappointed with the service! Miranda and her team are so professional, caring, and attentive to our needs. We have a 14 year old cat, who has gotten very used to us being home with her, so I was very apprehensive about going away for a few days. I spoke to Miranda about my concerns, she assured me that our Cami would be looked after and cared for as if she was her own pet.

And team member Nancy took such good care of Cami (and my home)! Nancy texted me after each visit, as well as Jaimie, who had one visit with Cami, and texted and sent pictures also. They were such a pleasure to deal with and gave me such peace of mind. It makes it easier to plan for future trips knowing our " Fur Baby" will be well cared for! Thank you so much Miranda, Nancy and Jaimie! Julie Ressler

Erik has been walking our one year old German Shepard for many months. We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of care provided! Couldn't be happier with our choice to trust Miranda and Erik! Thank you for all you do!

We recently moved away from Hoboken and was nervous about finding a new dog walker in the area, but my goodness did we get lucky. I reached out to North Jersey Pet Sitters and explained our situation. Due to no fault of his own, our dog went missing from our previous company and it left him with severe anxiety and fear aggression with new people. NJ Petsitters was able to work with us and sent us Donna, the PERFECT person for our two dogs.

They absolutely adore her and she adores them. I love how easy it is to schedule their walks and that I get handwritten notes every day about what they did and pictures of them as well. I've never felt more comfortable having someone else take care of my pups. I would suggest using NJ Petsitters for your pets needs.

I'm a pretty tough person to please especially when it comes to my dog. What I truly like about NJ Petsitters is when I call their office someone always gets back to me promptly. This is so important because it's usually an issue with my pup. Also, it's great that they have a backup dog walker just in case the daily walker is sick or needs a well deserved day off. They are quick to communicate and all the dog walkers in our home have been polite and trustworthy. Lately, the office has not been up to par and I've had some issues. However, my dog is always treated well by the walkers.

Omg can I give them 100 stars! I originally was going to use them as a backup pet sitter and dog walking service; however they turned out to be my primary source for my cat and my two dogs. Very professional; they have a wonderful contract go over everything from the basic day to day to any emergency situation. They are prepared to help you with everything. I just broke my foot called them right way they had Donna out here to assist me immediately, as I'm going to need help with the pets for months now when Donna takes a day off Gaby will step in.

So I sleep easy at night knowing they will show up and everything is ok. I've noticed a huge difference with the walks from this company from the last one. The dogs sit for their leash they listen better; they have stopped barking at other dogs when Donna asks, it's just a huge help. Then they come home tired. Which makes my life easier!

What peace of mind you will have when you use NJ Petsitters! I have lived in both Bergen and Passaic counties and each time I have used NJ Petsitters and have been exceptionally pleased. I have two adopted cats with very different personalities and Samantha takes care of each of them expertly! I cannot say enough about Samantha and the professionalism and care that NJ Petsitters has for the care of your pets. I highly recommend them!

We have been using NJ pet sitters for the last 6 years to take care of our 2 cats when we travel. Very trustworthy, conscientious, and reliable people. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend! They took great care of our cats while we were out of town. They leave a little "diary" about what happened at each visit. Our sitter Amy also texted me everyday to update us. We were so worried about leaving them alone for four days, but we feel like they were in good hands. We will definitely use them again!

NJ Pet Sitters is fantastic! They are so accommodating to your schedule and last-minute changes. Donna has taken care of my pups on two extended weekend trips, and everything has been perfect. The pups seem happy and calm when I get back, and the notes that she leaves each day are great. They also will update you each day that you're away, if you request it. Great service! I already have them scheduled for a New Year's Eve weekend trip

After Sue took care of our cat Kelly on multiple occasions, I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking! She is caring and is always on time. She provided us with consistent updates while we were out of the country for a few weeks. I wasn't worried about our little one at all. Thank you to NJ Pet Sitters and Sue for everything!

I started using Pet Sitters when I moved to NJ in 2012. It is hard to find someone to take care of and provide excellent care to my cats. I have been very satisfied with Pet Sitters, their customer service and the approach to caring for animals. I appreciate Nancy's dedication to caring for the my cats and I know that they are in good hands when I leave town.

They are great! I like having them more than a friend or family member because they are very responsible. They don't cancel at the last minute as friends have done. The person I have really cares for my pets, she loves them and they love her. I don't worry at all when I have to leave them in their capable hands. I don't know what I would do without NJ Petsitters!

Very irresponsible company. I had called as a new customer set a appointment and got a date to meet. I also had called to confirm but did not get any confirmation back. So on the day of the meeting they showed up without anyone bothering to confirm beforehand so i was not expecting them and a sitter who has been with the company a few years said they are always messing up like that. I feel bad for the employees because if they treat customers like this how bad to they treat their workers

I've been using NJ Pet Sitters for about 3 years now and they've always been very accommodating, even to last-minute requests due to unplanned overtime at work, etc. We've been home a couple of times when Beth has arrived and the pups are very happy to see her. Would highly recommend.

I was recommended NJ Pet Sitters 6 months ago and have been overwhelmingly pleased with their service. They truly do treat my pets as their own. Miranda is a class act and our pets are always taken well care of. I highly recommend NJ Pet Sitters.

If you need a trusted pet care person who will feed, play with, and make sure your beloved animal(s) are well and happy, NJ Pet Sitters is pure gold. Five stars are not enough to do justice to Miranda and Donna! To say that they are caring, professional, superb, way above-and-beyond mere duty and reasonable expectations, is to say too little. Our two Siamese cats -- David and Chuck -- adore Donna -- who comes twice-a-day when we are gone -- gets our very jaded cats to do things they won't do for us -- like sit quietly for a brushing or play with a laser.

When we were out of the country last week and David became ill, Donna called us, kept us up to date with texts and emails, brought him enticing new toys and even took him to the vet and picked him up again. We've been calling on NJ Pet Sitters since we moved to this area a year ago For peace of mind and the knowledge that our beloved cats are being cared for and loved when we are not here, we give thanks for Pet Sitters!

Thank you to Renee for taking care of my three furry babies and making sure Marcel got his shot of insulin daily. I never left my cats in the hands of anyone other than family and I was nervous at first but after the consultation of seeing how much love Renee has for animals and the affection she gave to them...I knew everything was going to be ok. I was very impressed and pleased with the service. Thank you soo very much.
