“April took excellent care of my energetic pup for the day. She made time for plenty of play and outdoor activity, and she also took lots of photos. I can tell my Rory is tuckered out and happy after the day at April's house :) Drop off, pickup, and coordinating were as easy as can be. We also had a meet and greet some time before the first visit, which I really appreciated. Thank you April! We will be back!!”

She kept me updated throughout his stay with her and was very responsive. She also has a very kind heart and warm personality; if I’m ever back in Jersey I will be using her again for sure. ?”

About: I am a very playful and caring person. I have had pets almost all my life, since I was 3 years old. During my 2018 summer, I was interning at a Veterinarian clinic and a part of that job was to feed, walk, and play with the animals there. Let me know if you need a dog sitter! My schedule is flexible. I usually go to the gym, run a few errands, and spend time with the pets I’m taking care of ❤️ I care for the client’s pets in their home or my home by offering they time to play outside or cuddle with them depending on their personality.
About: 1. Tailored Care: I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, providing customized care that feels like home. 2. Experience with Special Needs Pets: I have experience with dogs that require special attention, including seniors, puppies, or those with medical conditions or anxiety. 3.Daily Updates and Photos: I keep you connected with regular updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. 4. Behavioral Understanding: I have extensive knowledge of dog behavior and can manage various temperaments, ensuring your dog is comfortable, calm, and engaged. 5. Extra Services: I go beyond just sitting, offering dog walking, light grooming, and playtime enrichment activities to keep your dog entertained and active. 6. Flexible Availability: Whether it’s a last-minute trip or a long-term vacation, I offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs, including overnight stays and extended visits. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, carefully planned to ensure each pet’s needs are fully met. Here’s how it fits: 1. Dedicated Time Blocks: I schedule time throughout the day specifically for pet sitting, ensuring I’m available for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care routines pets need. 2. Morning and Evening Walks: My mornings typically begin with dog walks or playtime, helping pets get their energy out early. I also incorporate evening walks or calming activities to wind down their day. 3. Flexible Availability: I structure my day to remain flexible for last-minute bookings or check-ins, allowing me to adapt to the pet’s needs and any changes in the owner’s schedule. 4. Regular Check-ins and Care: Whether working from home or running errands, I build breaks into my schedule for regular check-ins, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and care throughout the day. 5. Balanced Life: Pet care is a rewarding part of my day, and I find that giving pets the love and attention they need enhances my own daily routine, creating balance and joy in my life. By weaving pet care into my everyday activities, I maintain reliability while ensuring pets always receive the best possible care. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for them. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Pet-Proofed Space: I ensure my home is pet-proofed, removing any potential hazards and providing safe, designated areas for pets to explore and relax. 2. Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements: I offer cozy spaces for pets to rest, whether they prefer a quiet corner, a soft bed, or their own crate, respecting their comfort and habits. 3. Routine and Structure: I maintain the pet’s usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to provide consistency and reduce anxiety while they’re in a new environment. 4. Interactive Playtime: I engage pets in regular play, offering toys and activities to stimulate them mentally and physically, ensuring they stay active and entertained. 5. Safe Outdoor Access: If the pet enjoys outdoor time, I provide supervised access to a secure yard or take them on regular walks, ensuring their safety at all times. 6. Attention to Special Needs: For pets with specific needs (medications, dietary restrictions, etc.), I follow detailed instructions to ensure their health and well-being are prioritized. 7. Socialization and Companionship: I spend quality time with each pet, offering plenty of affection and interaction to make them feel at home and reduce any separation anxiety. 8. Clean and Hygienic Environment: I maintain a clean space, regularly sanitizing feeding areas, bedding, and toys to ensure pets remain healthy and comfortable throughout their stay. With a focus on comfort, safety, and engagement, I aim to make every pet feel like part of the family while in my care.
“Courtney and Sherwood are awesome! They send pictures throughout the day. My dog, Red, always has fun at their house, and our dogs high-energy levels match. Red always comes home exhausted.”
About: I am a pet owner over 20 years, I am a responsible and caring dog sitter with years of experience ensuring dogs are treated with the utmost care and attention. As a pet lover family, we understands the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for your dog while you’re away. We love our daily routine of snuggling, playing with, feeding, & exercising our dogs and yours. Balancing work and with a supportive husband and three teenagers, I offers flexibility and reliability that fits into any schedule. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or providing companionship, you can trust us to keep your dog happy, healthy, safe and well-loved.. With a passion for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs, we ensures that your pets receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. I also offer bathing and grooming services if that's something you are interested in.. Morning walk, breakfast, a little play time, rest.. If weather permits, we let the dog be outside the backyard to roam around or just lay down to have some sun. When afternoon comes, another bathroom break, kids comes home from school will play with the dog for a while, then comes the evening, bathroom break, then dinner. Although I don't have a fenced in yard, but I have the anchored leash in the yard. I trained my dog to stay within our promises.. I'll make sure the dogs I care for will be leashed to the outdoor leash.
“A returned customer. Yanina is very patient and accommodating. She made sure our puppy’s specific needs were cared for and was very understanding when we were late for pickup.”
About: I have taken care of multiple different types of animals within my community. With an array of types such as dogs to gecko. All are welcomed I am currently on summer break from being in college so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love they deserve <3. I have a fenced front yard and no pets of my own, so your dog will be able to have my full attention and plenty of space to play.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my life and both lived to be 16 and 17 years old so I’m well versed in senior care. My 2 dogs had puppies together so I’m also well versed in caring for puppies. My doggos knew some cute tricks and training always came easy to me. Fun fact — my cairn terrier was on the Today Show with Kathy Lee and Hoda modeling a pet product! I work full time from home and have been for many years so my home routine is regular and pet care fits in easily. Morning walks and breakfast before work — a walk break during lunch (or 2) and dinner time and bed time walks. I never let dogs outside off the leash and always protect the door when entering or exiting. The door is always locked and the balcony door is always locked too. I keep doors closed to rooms the dogs don’t need to be in but they generally get to roam around my bedroom and living room safely and comfortably. The dog(s) will have safe and separate eating areas. I will only have 2 dogs max at a time but really prefer 1 at a time but some parents have 2 dogs so I’m open to family pets but not 2 random separate dogs from different families.
“I cannot Isabel enough! From the moment we dropped off our 2 babies, it was clear that she genuinely loves and understands pets. Our pups were treated like royalty and came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. What stood out the most were the timely updates! Isabel sent regular messages, photos, and little videos that put our mind at ease and showed just how much fun our babies were having. It’s such a relief to know your furry friend is in loving hands when you’re away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and professional, Isabel is the best there is.”
About: Been taking care of my Shih Tzu for over 9 years. He would love some company. And we'd love some extra cuddles. Small and medium non shedding dogs only. I work from home all days of the week. Only looking for small non shedding dogs for day or overnight boarding. Can walk them as per their schedule. Yes have a fenced yard. Plus my dog will be good company all day long. He's 9 years old and very friendly. They can run around in the backyard when it strikes their fancy.
“Gurdeep was able to put all my fears at rest. This was the first time we boarded Sasha and I can’t say enough about how happy she was. The house was clean and welcoming. I will definitely bring Sasha again.”
“As soon as we turn the corner Bruno knows he’s going to Katie’s house and loves visiting. It's always a fun day filled with other doggie friends and new activities. Katie is simply wonderful and informative throughout the day. Bruno can’t wait to return!”
“Chase is well taken care. Lovely host.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for about 13 years now. It all started with my first pet my sister bought me in middle school, and ever since then it’s been history. Pet care fits in my daily schedule because I have pets of my own. Throughout the day I tend to go above and beyond for my pets. Throughout my home I have automated pet feeders when I’m away from home and I can’t provide them home. Also, I have a huge yard for pets to frolic and have fun.
“Marissa was so patient and understanding with our extremely nervous dog Josie! She provided us with regular updates and by the end of the stay Josie was asking for belly rubs! We will definitely use Marissa as a sitter again”
