“I left on vacation for a week and April took amazing care of my dog, Rocky. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a Rocky happy and well fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Such a pleasure to hear from Sarah. She was a life saver and instantly became friends with Jett.when I came home he was exhausted! Sarah was communicative and professional. Thank you for being wonderful Sarah!”
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter! She was super communacative and reliable in her check-ins which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she’s a true animal lover and was very sweet with my dog, she did an excellent job- I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was young. I grew up caring for a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and a Chocolate Lab, and I currently have a very energetic Cockapoo. I love all dog breeds and personalities! In college, I also cared for a senior German Shepherd when their family was away on vacation. I have a very flexible and non traditional work schedule. I can watch and care for your dog on any of my days off as much and as often as you need. I will follow any instructions exactly to insure your dog is as safe, healthy, and happy as possible. I love going for long walks and making sure they get the exercise they need.
About: I have been a lifelong cat owner, throughout childhood and into my adulthood until present day. I have experience volunteering in cat socialization in animal shelters, domestically and internationally. I am only doing seasonal work at the moment so I will have plenty of free time to spend with your fur family during the winter months! All plastic debris picked up off the floor and into the trash at all times. Doors to potentially hazardous areas closed at all times. Bowl always full of yummies. Lots of playtime with toys.
“First time meeting Petey. She is great! He was a little reluctant to walk, he barked at first. Food motivated so a little treat at introduction and now he knows who she is, and it was a really good first time walk. 👍🏼😊”
About: I grew up with dogs, lived with cats, and overall have a strong love for animals. While I can’t have any own dog/pet right now due to finances and time constraints, I’d love to spend some time with your furry friend and get my steps in! I am reliable, loving, and eager to meet new people and pets. I’m currently waiting to start a new job (I’m a dentist) at the end of June. I have plenty of free time until then, and once my job starts I’ll be off at 4pm. I live in a one bedroom apartment with no yard, but I go on daily walks in Belmar. When caring for a dog in my apartment or your home, I would enforce the same rules the dog follows at home in terms of their routine and what is comfortable with you.
“I’m a new dog mom to my little puppy and i don’t trust anyone with my pup, so when i had to find a baby sitter in a pinch i was nervous to try someone new. john and kathy were so great with my Moose and he was so happy and tired out by the time he got home from such a great walk on the beach with them. they sent constant pics and i felt safe with Moose. thanks again! will definitely use again now that I know how great they are.”
“Brian was awesome with our puppy! He brought him for a nice, long walk at the park. Archer had tons of fun and was ready for a nap afterwards! He cant wait for their next walk together! 🐾”
About: Animals are such an extension of family and should be treated as such. I've had dogs and other animals through the years and provided general care & SO much love. I'm open to special needs animals whether medications or other, I'll learn anything to help care for an animal. I work in emergency services and have a rotating schedule, please feel free to ask for any day/time I try to be as flexible as possible and will work with my clients the best I can .. just ask! I have worked in a doggy daycare so I have experience with several breeds and situations. How you want your pet cared for is how I will care for them. I'm an "animal spoiler" they deserve to be spoiled since all they do is LOVE us, it's the least we can do. There is no shortage of love and attentiveness with animals when it comes to me.
“Meghan is the absolute best caring human for us and our skittish dog. She goes the extra mile to put the dog at ease and always shows added compassion. We are so very grateful to her, to the person she is, and for being the best possible caregiver to our shy dog. We found an angel. Thanks for all that you do for putting our hearts and minds at ease. You are so appreciated. Sheena is so glad to have you in her life and so are we.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with my own dog at age 11 and continuing through years of dog sitting, walks, and overnight care for family and neighbors. I currently have a 54 lb high energy puppy of my own, which has given me even more hands on experience with exercise needs, structure, and daily care. I’m especially comfortable with dog walking and drop-in visits, and I love getting dogs outside, keeping them active, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience with high energy breeds, puppies, and administering medication when needed. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your dog is safe, exercised, and cared for like they’re my own I currently work remote from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your animals and give them all the love and attention they need! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, positive environment for every pet in my care. I always follow owner instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times
“I highly recommend Samantha to care for your babies. She is very punctual and always confirms before her visit. She was able to help out with a last-minute request and she's my dog's new best friend.”

Jessica was outstanding! She was available on NYE when I needed last minute help. She even came to the house during the day and met with me and Bowie for a meet and greet before she came back that evening on her own. She went above and beyond with sending me updates as well as photos and videos, and even did other things like refill his food and water and remove his collar once he was in for the night (as I requested). My dog instantly was comfortable around her and you can see that she is very professional and passionate about her job. 10/10 recommend, she was so kind and a true life saver!
I can’t recommend Anahi enough! She went above and beyond to care for my baby boy. From regular updates with photos to thoughtful check-ins, I always felt at ease knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. Bailey was happy, well-fed, and clearly adored. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind. I’ll definitely be booking with Anahi again—thank you for everything!
We couldn’t be happier with Katie! She’s been absolutely wonderful with our large (and sometimes stubborn) golden retriever. Not only does she take him on walks, but she also stays to play with him afterward, which he loves. Katie is reliable, kind, and great with big dogs. Highly recommend!!!
