About: Senior in high school with two years’ pet care experience and my own dog. Passionate about animals and exploring vet school. Loving, reliable, and attentive. Senior in high school with weekday extracurriculars during the first months. Available weekends and holidays, with flexible hours outside school activities for quality pet care. I provide loving, safe care—cuddles, playtime, fresh food, and water. Your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first in a caring, trustworthy, and nurturing environment.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and routines, whether that means high-energy play or a calm, relaxed approach. I also understand the importance of communication with owners and will always provide updates and ensure your pet is well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m reliable, organized, and make pet care a priority in my weekly schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure the space is secure—doors and gates are checked, hazards are removed, and pets are always supervised during walks or play. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable area with plenty of supervision, attention, and a pet-friendly environment. I build trust by staying attentive, communicating regularly with updates and photos, and making sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: My name is Emma R. and I am currently a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University - Florham. I have been housitting and pet sitting since I was in middle school and would love to help you out! I have worked with animals of all size, age, and even some with medical conditions. I am experienced at giving medication and work well wih animals, as I grew up with a cat and dogs. I am able to care for multiple pets at once, and have a car on campus so I am able to take any job. I am a college student with avalability sporadically so please reach out about specific days and times that you would need care. I am happy to take pets on walks or just sit with them and give them attention in addition to feeding. If staying the night, I am happy to have your pet sleep with me or crate them, whatever they will be the most comfortable with.

About: Growing up, I helped care for my family's dog and regularly pet sat for neighbors' cats and dogs. I now have a cat of my own, so I truly understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind for a work trip or vacation. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and affection they need to keep their owners at ease. I recently graduated from graduate school and am enjoying a flexible schedule while waiting for my new role to begin this fall. In the meantime, I'm taking on a variety of work, which means I have plenty of availability to accommodate your pet care needs whether that's a regular daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or an extended stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they stay in a secure, calm, and loving environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.

“Donna was very reliable, caring, communicative and responsible. She is great with animals, even my shy cat warmed up to her very quickly first at our meet and greet and then during my time away. Highly recommend her services, will book her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 for members within my community. I have dog sat for dogs off all sizes and ages. I also love to teach dogs new skills and give them plenty of play time and attention! Additionally, I have experience working with dogs with behavioral issues as well! I currently am working part time and I am free completely on the weekends. During the day I will take your pet on 2-3 long walks and shorter potty breaks in between if needed (depending on the dog) In my home I keep the upstairs level gated off if your pet is unsupervised. Otherwise, I do my best to let your pet get adjusted and comfortable in their new environment.

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.

“Thank you so much for looking after Raymond! The report card everyday was amazing, great to see that he was looked after so well! I will definitely be booking you again!”

About: I have grown up caring for family dogs along with dog sitting for other neighborhood dogs! I enjoy all kinds of dogs, big & small, high & low energy! I am excited to help you and your pup! I currently have one pup myself, a border collie! For the dogs who need a lot of exercise - I’m excited to burn off that energy! I am very active myself. I also love working with more mellow dogs too! You name the dog, I will love meeting them and getting to spend time with them! If your dog has any special commands, I am happy to reinforce/use them if you would like! I look forward to spending time with your pup! A pet’s needs are just as important as anything and are involved all day long. Their routine would be carefully followed to ensure your pup is staying happy and healthy. Feeding, walking, backyard playing, mental stimulation, playing, or just some snuggle time! All are important and I’m happy to do whatever you prefer for your pup!

About: What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I have experience with responsibility heavy roles like nannying, which has taught me how important routines, communication, and trust are when caring for someone else’s loved ones. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all personalities and energy levels, including pets who need extra patience, structure, or calm handling. I’m also attentive to feeding schedules, walking routines, crate training support, and keeping pets engaged through play and exercise. I make it a priority to follow instructions carefully and keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs active walks, gentle companionship, or consistent care while you’re away, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. I am flexible and open to both weekday and weekend bookings. I prefer morning and afternoon visits/walks, but I can accommodate evening care depending on the request. I’m currently a recent graduate from Montclair State University and am working toward my master’s degree at Rutgers in nutrition, so my schedule may vary slightly depending on school and coursework. However, I’m committed to being reliable, consistent, and communicative once a booking is confirmed. I’m available for: Morning check-ins and walks Midday visits Afternoon care Occasional evening bookings I do my best to respond quickly and accommodate last-minute requests when possible. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, litter box care, and any special needs or medications. In the client’s home, I am respectful of the space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their personality whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a calm and quiet environment. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, positive interaction, and structured care based on their energy level and routine. For cats, I understand the importance of space and consistency, and I always allow them to approach on their own terms to build trust. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured and connected while they are away. My goal is always to care for each pet as if they were my own.

“carly is amazing! our dog loved her and she kept us updated all day with pictures and texts. she even helped teach her some new tricks :)”

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I currently work as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is very flexible. I also will be off relaxing all summer (trying to rest as much as possible before law school starts). I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.

“Mike is truly a fantastic and caring pet sitter. He took very good care of my big German Shepherd, recovering from surgery. I’ll definitely seek his help again and recommended him to others”
