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.

“We were in Morristown for an event and needed somewhere to drop our dog for a few hours - they took great care of him and sent several pics!!”


“Katie was amazing!!! She was on time and communicative the whole way. Even though it was cold outside she bundled up my baby and took her out for walks. Definitely re-booking with Katie!”


“Lisa kindly dogsat for me at her home on a weekend day. My 4-month old pup had a great time with her and her pug (who is really cute). She had another client stay longer than expected, so ended up unexpectedly with three puppies on the same day! But she kept great communication and kept our appointment, which I really appreciated. You can feel Lisa's compassion for dogs. She keeps a very neat and clean home and property and has a fenced in backyard. Really glad to have her in the neighborhood!”


“Kumud is an incredible dog sitter. She’s gone above and beyond to ensure that our high energy pup is cared for, exercised, and comfortable. Her yard is the ultimate playground and she always makes sure the dogs are playing nicely together. Her dog, Kai, is sweet and playful and welcomes others in. Kumud’s family is really sweet and I trust that Zoe is safe in their care. I highly recommend Kumud’s services.”

About: I am able to build a genuine bond with each pet. I take time to understand their unique routines, behaviors, and preferences, so they feel safe, happy, and loved, even when you are away. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet as if they were my own, with lots of affection, play, and attention. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or just cuddle time, I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I have my own pet sitting business, and I have never turned down a client in the five years I have owned my company. I always find time for pets. I have a chocolate lab named Jumbo, who is treated the equivalent of royalty. As for the animals I pet-sit for, I walk them three times a day (more or less depending on the age), play with them for at least 30 minutes outside, feed them, and tuck them into bed.

About: Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities! I grew up in a house full of dogs, cats, birds and small animals. When I was 8 I had my own horse and started working at the stable. As an adult Ive always had at least 2 dogs (up to 7 at one time), cats, birds and even a few reptiles (from my sons). Animals are my happy place and I will care for yours like I do my own. I have 20 years of experience dog, cat and bird sitting for others. Your pet will get plenty of exercise and snuggles with me. If I’m watching your pets in my home I prefer smaller dogs only. I have been pet sitting full time for the past 5 years. I retired from my corporate job in 2021. I live with my spouse, 2 adult children and 3 small dogs. I am home full time to care for your pet and mine. My husband and adult children are also there part time to provide extra pets and snuggles. I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly small dogs. They have full run of the house including snuggling on my couch and bed. I am home full time to care for your pet and mine. I will care for your pet like it’s my own baby.

About: Thank you for visiting my page! I'm a lifelong animal enthusiast. As a dog parent, I understand how important SAFETY is — it's my TOP PRIORITY too. I’ll care for your dog with love, paying attention to every detail to ensure they feel safe and happy. • I enjoy mentally stimulating activities with dogs: hiding toys, obstacle courses, practicing commands • I love taking dogs on long walks (if they enjoy it!) • As I’m new to the platform, I offer the lowest prices • I love grooming dogs to help them feel fresh and beautiful • I love making cute photo edits of your fur baby (just for fun—see examples on my profile) I’ve noticed that when you engage a dog mentally, it helps them build trust and feel comfortable with new people more easily. For me, it’s not about perfect training results — it’s about making them happy and letting them express themselves while they’re away from family. And I’ve seen how wonderfully this works! Dog sitting is more than just a job. I’m a full-time mom now, so I have the flexibility to give your dog all the attention they need. After losing my second dog, I’m not ready for a new one yet. Caring for your dog helps me heal and I give them all the love and care I have. Looking forward to making your dog feel right at home! My kids bring endless energy and love for ball games, ensuring the dogs are always entertained, active, happy, playful, and never bored during their stay! I’m always home to carefully watch your dog, providing cozy beds, toys and balls for their comfort and fun. For safety, I can crate your dog if needed. I offer personalized care, follow routines and prioritize their happiness.

About: We love our dog but we aren’t crazy dog people. Our home is clean. We have a friendly husky and a large fenced yard. We don’t leave for longer than 2 hours when we have a dog over and generally take 1 guest dog at a time. We work from home and only watch when we can be here every 2 hours. We don’t go out for more than 2 hours with a dog staying. I have a big fenced yard and a friendly husky that will keep your pet entertained. We also have a great dog walking neighborhood and path.

“Jackie was wonderful with our little puppy! She sent updates throughout the day and was very good to work with. We will be using her a lot in the future! She's a great communicator, too. Very caring and he was in excellent hands!”
