About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.

“Bianca has been my dog sitter for about 6 years now. I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a turtle. She takes care of them all! I have a pitbull and a morkie and she is so great with both. She’s responsible, trustworthy, reliable, and so caring with my pets. Shes taken my pit on hikes and long walks and that isn’t even a requirement. She genuinely enjoys being around pets. I’ve recommended her to my friends who have dogs and they love her too! I trust her with my fur babies more than anyone else.”

“Had an issue where another walker cancelled last minute. I contacted Michelle and she has been clutch the last few days while I am away. She even offers to do extra help. I will definitely be utilizing her services in the future.”

“Jillian was fantastic with my dog who doesn't always warm to strangers. She's be so happy to see her every day. Jillian was very punctual and communicative. She sent detailed updates every day. I highly recommend her!”

“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”

“Elizabeth has been watching my dog for the past few years and has been the absolute best. So gentle and caring for our pup. She is very responsible and timely with handling the dog and remembering reeding times”

“Nico has been great for our very active lab. Nico is always on time and is great at communicating. Our dog is always so happy when Nico comes for a walk.”

“Sofia took care of Mocha when she was 6 months old and did an excellent job. Mocha came back happy and did not seem to learn any bad behaviors. She was extremely attentive for Mocha's needs for going out on walks, playing, and feeding her. She sent pictures and videos which helped alleviate my stress as a nervous parent. Sofia was also very flexible when my flight was delayed and I was a bit later than my expected pick up time.”

“Bella was great! She was very prompt and friendly and our dog LOVED her! I would definitely recommend her and hope she is available in the future to take care of our dog again.”

“Lauren is so loving with the pets she has. She is kind, concerned and takes excellent care of them. She has doggy-sat our dog and is so understanding of our dog who is now 15 years old. She has raised abandoned kittens who had to be bottle fed with care and compassion. I would not hesitate to have Lauren care for our pets.”

“My dog Mack LOVES Dana. From the first Meet and Greet to the many following walks, he took to her right away. He's an older dog who goes slow and literally stops to smell (all) the flowers and Dana patiently waits for him. I know he's in good hands with Dana.”

“Thank you, Nick, for being responsive in our last minute need. We definitely will use your services again. I’ll reach out to have you do a visit so Mica can acclimate to you. Thank you again ?”

“Sharon was incredible with our Siberian husky and we could not be happier with our choice to hire Sharon for walking and handling assistance. Sharon was extremely caring, patient, attentive, and easygoing to work with… all the great qualities you wish to see in a dog walker. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

“Thanks so much! Great pictures, appreciated all the help!”

“Juliette took our pup on two walks in the POURING rain. Communication was excellent, as well. We will definitely be booking her again very soon!”

“Stacy is one of the nicest people I've ever met, loves all types of animals and provides great attentive care to them. Her home is best suited for small to medium sized dogs, and her neighborhood provides a fun, safe and playful environment for dogs to exercise and interact with other friendly dogs. If your dog is in need of care, do not hesitate to contact Stacy!”

About: i have always had a passion for animals, Growing up with several pets, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors.

I take the time to understand the owner's instructions and preferences, ensuring I follow them meticulously. Whether it's going for walks (for dogs) , feeding, administering medication, or just playing fetch, I approach each task with enthusiasm and dedication. I am home all day so your pet will have my undivided attention. they will have enough play time, walks-for dogs- and naps if poppies/kittens. Routine and Structure: I Establish a schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and sleep. Pets thrive on routine, so having a consistent structure helps them feel secure. Feeding and Hydration: I follow the pet owner's instructions for feeding, including food type, portion size, and timing. Provide fresh water at all times. Exercise and Playtime: Ensure pets get enough exercise based on their breed, age, and energy level. Provide toys and interactive activities to keep them engaged. Safety and Security: I Keep pets safe by ensuring doors and gates are secure. Use appropriate leashes, harnesses, or crates if needed. Monitor their behavior to prevent accidents or escapes. Cleaning and Hygiene: Maintain a clean environment. Clean up after pets, regularly wash their bedding, and manage any odors. Health and Medical Care: Be aware of any medical conditions or medications the pet requires. Administer medication as directed by the owner and watch for any signs of illness or distress.

“Linda was outstanding. Came exactly at the requested walk times, quickly picked up on Teddy's walk habits and observed several chronic conditions for which Teddy is already receiving care from our vet. A total joy to work with.”

About: I've both owned and cared for dogs since I was 9 years old. I also have 13 years of experience pet sitting, dog walking, and providing care for pets at the same time that I was babysitting. One of the dogs I've owned was a rescue mutt, so I am used to handling dogs that have an anxious temperament. I'm between full-time jobs so I am currently available to pet sit, dog walk, and house sit any time that you need. I will always notify my clients of a time change or cancellation at least 24 hours in advance. I will walk, feed, and crate dogs according to your needs. I will always follow your instructions on how best to care for your pet, and you can be assured that they will be in safe hands.
