“Gretchen is absolutely wonderful! Our shy puppy took to her immediately. We were nervous about having a stranger doing drop-ins because our pup tends to get scared, but after meeting Gretchen and seeing how well they got on, our worries melted away. She checks in with us and sends us cute pictures of our girl (who is happy as ever)! So happy we found her!”
“Kristie took great care of our cat - we came home to a friendly loving feline. Kristie even braved a snowstorm to take care of her and was kind enough to leave the light on for us as we were arriving home late. Details make all the difference. Highly recommend her”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 11 years old. I am comfortable with bigger dogs, overactive dogs, stubborn dogs, & more. Let me meet your pet and we can go from there! I can walk dogs most Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I work a 9-5 but can head out for my lunch break on Fridays and walk your pup. I am all about positive reinforcement and using a firm but gentle tone. I would love to learn what training if any your dog has so I can keep up those good habits!
“Very responsive! Harley took great care of Shelby during the drop-in!”
About: I grew up with various pets and I graduated from veterinary school abroad. I am currently a stay-at-home mom for my two children. Throughout my student years in vet school, I fostered and helped find homes for many dogs and cats, either strays or from shelters. I also dog/cat sat for my friends' pets often. I volunteered at The Infectious Diseases Clinic at my school where I helped treat different species of animals, especially dogs. In the US, I volunteered at a Veterinary Hospital in Stockton, NJ where I gained more practical experience in working with animals. I also worked at Pouch Cove kennel in Flemington, NJ where I handled breeding dogs and prepared them for dog shows by feeding them, bathing/grooming them, taking them to dog handling classes and walking them. I also spent a lot of time there doing my favorite - taking care of puppy litters. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and breeds. I look forward to making new furry friends and helping people! I am currently a stay-at-home mom, and I would be happy to pet sit at your house since my schedule is fairly flexible. I am available to pet sit mornings, afternoons and evenings throughout the week and some weekends with adequate notice. With my experience, I have gained theoretical and practical knowledge about various breeds of dogs and how to interact and care for them. I am capable of all areas of dog care, including feeding, administering medications if needed, bathing, walking and crating dogs.
“She made three visits a day to our house for our dog and cat. They loved her, and she did everything perfectly including giving our dog plenty of walks and giving her her medicine. We will definitely be asking her to come watch our pets again in the future!”
About: Seasoned care for your most beloved furry friends. I am a loving pet owner whose goal is to put your mind at ease while you go about your everyday life!

I am available for all your needs upon request. I live in apartment on the second floor, I offer boarding for small animals with a lovely grassy knoll and walking areas. I can be available to care for your beloved a full day with no working hours upon request and a pay rate change.

Tea C.
“I worked with Tea for over a year taking care of over 25 dogs! Her knowledge alone should be enough to hire her! She was able to handle every breed of dog that were in our care at both homes we worked at. She was kind and caring for each dog. She even slept on the floor many times after dogs were born or were recovering from surgeries. She went above and beyond every single day to make sure the dogs were walked, groomed and fed properly. She is an outstanding worker and you would be very lucky to have her care for any dog or animal. Always on time and stayed even after we were able to go home. I truly hope you will hire her for this position. You would be very lucky to have someone like her. Michelle Cyphers.”

“Jessica is the absolute best pet and house sitter! She’s been pet sitting for us for over 8 years and has always gone above and beyond in caring for our dogs, bearded dragon, and home. We enjoy every trip without worry knowing Jess is on the job. She is reliable, responsible, spends extra time with our pets, and texts updates with photos while we are away. If you are looking for someone you can count on to provide top-notch care for your pets, Jess is the one!”
