About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.
About: Hi there! My name is Briana, and I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for over 20 years. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am! I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, horses, birds, small animals, and just about any furry, feathered, or scaled companion you may have. I’ve had animals my entire life and I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I’ve completed an animal emergency CPR course and spent 4 years working in an animal shelter, growing within the organization until it was time to focus on being a mom. I’m patient, reliable, and truly passionate about animal care — I’d do just about anything to keep an animal safe and happy (safely, of course!). I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before any booking so everyone feels comfortable and I can learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and care needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your beloved pets. Feel free to reach out even if you just have questions — I’m always happy to chat. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide visits, walks, and pet care whenever you need it. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need an extra helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care during every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Every pet deserves patience, compassion, love, and individualized attention, and I take pride in providing exactly that. I will always follow your pet’s routine and provide the level of care, attention, exercise, and affection you request, because no one knows your pet better than you do. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet until you return home. ❤️
About: I grew up with a Rottweiler and a Pitbull and currently have a Labradoodle who I have trained. I am able to train basic commands and walking skills. I have been pet sitting since early high school for all sorts of pets! I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and play around with your fur babies! Looking to do this full time/daily! I am available from 6am to 10pm. My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate any time of the week. I care for your pets by showing them affection and admiration while still keeping boundaries and rules in place. This means lots of belly rubs, and the right amount of corrective actions when needed.
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! I have experience with pets of all personalities — from sassy calicos with lots of attitude to nervous, anxious furry friends who need extra patience and love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule. I am available Monday through Friday at any time. I can definitely do mid day drop ins! I am available on weekends as well! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses every day. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs — whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or full of attitude!
“Jodi was extremely responsive and communicative. She went the extra mile and sent a ton of photographs, checked on medical issues and whether there was food/water in her bowl. Highly recommend and will ask her to walk Reigh again!”
“Jenna has been amazing! Our pup Betty absolutely loves her, and Jenna is always sure to take some pictures and let us know of anything important. Before starting our regularly scheduled walks, Jenna was kind enough to come for a drop in and meet Betty ahead of their first walk together. She was so kind and understanding, especially as we just moved in to our new place so recently. Jenna is a natural! We’re so happy we found her, and look forward to many more good walks for our Betty! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10+ years! I love spending time with all animals so petsitting is like a vacation for me. I am a full time lab technician and have flexible hours to watch over any furbabies :) I have a full time job that is very flexible with my hours. I am very detail oriented, punctual, and patient. I am free outside of work and would love to occupy my time, whenever need be, to help someone else who needs help watching their dog or cat! My biggest worry is not letting your furbabies run loose! I always check my surroundings before entering a home and be cautious so that no animal runs out or gets hurt in the process. While taking care of pets it is easy to let them run wild and have fun, but we can also do so without making the home messy! I will treat anyones dog or cat as my own, as well as make sure that I leave a home the way it was when coming in.

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.

I promise to be very respectful of your home and take care of your pets the way I would hope someone would take care of mine.

About: I have grown up around golden retrievers my whole life and love to take care of my friends' and family's dogs. I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters with feeding, walking and playing with both cats and dogs. Nothing makes me happier than making sure your furry friends are well-taken care of! My primary availability is between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on the weekdays. However, if you require any additional availability earlier or later in the day, let me know when booking, and I can confirm if I am able to support! I am here to help make sure your dog is taken care of while you are away: feeding them, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they are treated as if it's just another day for them. I am an active runner training for a marathon, so if your dog likes to run, I can always use a running buddy! If there are any special requirements needed for your dog, please let me know in advance what you need so I can be prepared to take the best care for them.
About: I worked at a Dog Kennel for a year and have been independently animal sitting on and off since then. I also used to bathe dogs at a dog groomers! I’m a primary contact for many friends who need pet sitting and have several returning clients. I also have 2 dogs of my own, chickens, fish, a bearded dragon and 2 geckos! I’m currently living at home and work at Trader Joe’s so my schedule is pretty flexible. Caring for animals is a nice escape for me so I make time for it! I like to give the animals a lot of love and attention to insure that they’re happy and can see that I’m someone they can trust. I take time to build up their trust to reduce their anxiety.

Madison was absolutely excellent! I caught them running around the backyard and playing together, and it was clear that Jett was having the best time. It’s such a relief to know he is in such active and caring hands. I can’t wait to have her back to walk and play with Jett again—highly recommend!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bernardsville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
