“Shannon was great with drop in visits for our two pups. They can be a lot to handle and she did it easily! I got detailed updates and came home to happy healthy dogs. Highly recommend!”
“This was Lisa's first drop-in visit with Bogey, who is a rescue , previously abused, and normally reserved around new people. He and Lisa got along very well. She took the time to meet Bogey in advance, arrived on time, and obviously cared about making him comfortable, something that is not easy to do. I was very pleased with the care Lisa gave him, and I will be scheduling her in the future. It is my hope that she will be my "go to" person when I need a dog sitter.”
“Kerri is the best! I am completely amazed by her job. My cats love her. She truly does take the time to play and hang out with them. I appreciate all of her hard work, and I would always highly recommend her! Thank you Kerri!”
“Pete is an Angel! My sitter canceled last minute due to Covid and I found Pete! My BLOO loves him and Pete is amazing with him. You can tell from the second you meet Pete that he loves dogs and he cares for mine as if Bloo was his own. Thank you Pete! ???”
“Lisa is awesome!! Extremely responsible, respectful, punctual and exceptional at pet care! She took amazing pics of my kitty babies, showed up exactly when she said she would and overall just did an amazing job caring for my little fur babies. She also left my place immaculate and as though I never left!!”
“Adrianna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! We needed a last minute dog sitter for a weekend trip, and Adrianna was more than willing to work with us. She sent plenty of photos, updates, and even went out of her way to get them new toys! We are definitely using Adrianna in the future for any other trips.”
“Katie was awesome! We needed drop in visits for our 2 cats very last minute and she was able to help us in a pinch! Will definitely use her services again if we ever go out of town. 10/10 thank you soooo much. You are our vacation hero!”
“Can not thank Alba enough for taking such good care of our little guy! He’s still a puppy and needs a lot of patience and attention and she gave both in spades. Thanks for leaving a happy, sleepy puppy after your visit!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. From training puppies (& lots of walks) to caring for aging dogs. I’ve enjoyed it all. I’m a stay at home mom to teenagers. I am happy to spend my time at home taking great care of your pet family members. We love having your pet in our home, but I do not take more than one or two pets at a time (1 family) and I don’t take boarding or care request that are more than two weeks long. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also take care of pets in your home, but only full overnight on Friday & Saturday.
About: I’ve always had dogs until I had small children. So for right now i am not able to have dogs until they get older. But i enjoy playing with dogs and relaxing with them. Dogs are truly a great best friend. They are always there to help you feel better so as dog care givers we should be happy to return the good deed. Dogs have needs just like humans so it is important to do what you can to help dogs of all sizes and ages feel comfortable and happy. Pet owners love their dogs and sometimes don’t have the time in the day to care for them. So I am happy to lend a hand and help give piece of mind to those owners. I am able to assist with pet needs through out the day and am for the most part flexible during the week and most week ends and evening. I will be able to provide a safe environment at your pets home that is created for them in their space so they always feel comfortable and relaxed.
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
About: Staying down the shore and need a dog sitter nearby? Hi! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a guidance counselor in the Toms River Regional School District. During the summer, I have flexible hours which could fit your specific needs and are 10 minutes away from the beach! With being off of school and primarily part time work in the summer, I am usually home and are able to provide love, attention and care to your loved one! I have a large development dog friendly along with Cattus Island being a 5 minute drive for walks / play. I am primarily home and would be able to provide your pup with attention and care.
About: At the animal shelter I volunteer at I always respect the animals boundaries both cats and dogs. I keep their best interest in mind always and show them a patient and caring attitude. Caring for animals is something I am incredibly passionate about and I am looking to do Rover part-time during the summer. Everyday I make sure my own animals have clean food, water, as well as clean litterboxes. I love playing with them as well and seeing them enjoy themselves with their favorite toys. I make sure my cats at home have everything they need and their space is clean and safe. I also care for my families dogs and love playing with them and going on walks with them.
“Lauren always takes phenomenal care of my puppy, even when she's a lot to handle. She's flexible, attentive, and communicative. I would trust her with any of my fur babies, and could not recommend her more!”

Kimberlee M.
“Kim would be a wonderful pet caretaker. She has been around animals all of her life. Growing up she helped to take care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits. She always showed love and care to each animal. The animals in return showed her the love and kindness she had given them. She has taken care of my cats and dogs when I have been away. She is very trustworthy and I feel at ease when she is taking care of them. Sincerely, Susan M”
Kaitlyn B.
“Kaitlyn has a gravitating connection to dogs and all animals. She finds dogs and they find he’s as quick as they can once they’re in the same room together. She’ll give them belly rubs, ear scratches and tug-o-war games with squeaking toys. As well as making sure they have plenty of exercise, food and water!”

Emma is always the first choice now for whenever I am needed out of town. She’s professional, communicative and is patient and loves my PradaP. She will always be my recommendation for anyone new to this app and looking for someone they can trust not only in their homes but also with their fur babies! She’s amazing
Shannon was amazing with our two German Shepard’s. She is very timely, respectful, caring and attentive. She maintained great communication with us, sent us photos and videos of the pups having fun with her! I highly recommend Shannon and will be using her again in the future. Thank you!!!
Katelyn has been helping me with my pets for almost a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She’s very reliable, great communicator, and accommodating. You can tell she loves animals, takes pride in doing her job well and goes above and beyond. We are glad we found her!
