What Pet Owners Are Saying

Julie E.

By far the most wonderful people to trust with your pets. I’ve used them many times throughout the years. Sometimes on short notice. Cheryl and Janeen treated my cat Porter as if he was their own.    During vacation, they would send me a video of Porter playing with new toys they purchased for him. Highly recommended!

Rory G.

Cheryl and Janeen were wonderful with my cats while I was away. It was already a stressful trip, there was a serious heat wave, and I don’t have air conditioning. They added extra visits, bought a cooling mat, and set up fans with ice packs. They truly care for every animal as if it is their own. It meant everything to me to have my family so well cared for while I was away.

Our pit bull is not just a pet but truly a member of our family. We wouldn’t trust just anyone with her care. Cheryl’s attention to detail and genuine compassion for our dog was clear at the outset. Great to have a piece of mind and not worry about our beloved pet while we are away!!

Sussex County's Best Pet Sitter

A Way With Animals is a dog walking and pet sitting service provider based in Sussex County, NJ. Our company is owned and operated by Cheryl Monteleone. Cheryl has resided in Sussex County for more than 30 yrs along with her husband and very spoiled cats.

As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, Cheryl grew up surrounded by a variety of pets including dogs, cats, chameleons, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and ducks. Cheryl is also a former 15 year volunteer with BARKS, the Byram Animal Rescue Kindness Squad where she served this organization in a variety of roles.

In 2012, Cheryl decided to follow her true passion and founded A Way With Animals, fueled by her unconditional love for animals, and a belief that pets thrive with an uninterrupted daily routine, in the comfort of their own home.

Our service is perfect for the busy pet owner. While you’re at work or traveling, your pet(s) enjoys a stress-free experience. We provide mid-day walks, potty breaks, and puppy check-ins during the day. You’ll rest easy knowing your dog is happy and exercised during the week.

We love cats and other small animals too! While you’re away, you can relax knowing your pet is well fed and the litterbox is clean. We’ll also give them a good brushing if necessary and lots of play time. Kittens, especially, will benefit from extra play and attention while you’re not home. This service is purr-fect for socializing your pet to people outside of your family.
