“Bridget was amazing! So friendly, thorough, and professional. I am a bit of a nervous cat mom. Bridget put me, and us, right at ease. It allowed us to enjoy our trip, and family, worry-free. So appreciative!”


About: I've had at least one Labrador Retriever as a family member for most of my life. When I'm walking in the neighborhood, I'll cross the street to say hello to any dog I see. I am retired, but I paint watercolor portraits of special animals by commission out of my home studio. I'm mostly retired now, and I no longer have a dog as a family member, so I'm avaiable most days for pet care when I am in town. I'm mostly interested in dog walking and dog day care. I am not able to do drop-in or day care at night, and I cannot accommodate dogs a my home overnight.

“Elisabeth was fantastic taking care of our 2 dogs (8 months and 12 years old). She was very focused on making certain every wish we had for taking care of them, was honored. She was also very flexible when we asked her if we could change our originally scheduled times. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pet(s).”


“Irene was great with dropping in on my two cats while I was away on a long work trip. Both my cats are unique, and she understood immediately how to work with their different temperaments. Also, she was able to communicate well with me throughout the 10-days. When I was having issues with the Rover app, she was understanding and helpful and we quickly figured out any issues. I’d recommend Irene and work with her again. Thanks!”


About: Pets are family to me! From my sweet senior gentleman dog, Dug, to energetic tiny terrors, I’ve handled it all with patience and care. Friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets. Whether your pet needs structured routine or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to help. I’m a PhD student with a flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own who loves hanging with other dogs if that’s something your pet might be into! I can provide any type of care needed at your home, including getting dogs to feel safe in their crate. I also live very close to a large dog park and am happy to take your dogs there if they like socializing!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.

About: I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, Im not afraid of the teething stages or having to give the old guys a boost up the stairs. My most notable qualities are responsibility and respect; that goes for your home and your pets. I want to make them feel comfortable with a new face and some attention while you’re away! My current work schedule changes week to week but I am very flexible with hours for the days marked available on my calendar. Im comfortable getting up early before work to get their day started. I am available for walking, feeding, play-time, etc. I am unable to keep pets in my apartment at this time but can bring them to hiking trails or dog parks for exercise at your request. I can also keep them comfortable in your home/yard space.

“Katherine did an amazing job caring for my two cats Kylo and Ketchup. She went above and beyond to care for them. She took the time to cuddle with them on the couch during her drop ins. I received pictures daily and ketchup (who is always hiding from others) even came out to hang out with Katherine! ?”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthair Pointer as a family dog, so high energy is nothing new to me. I have senior dog experience that includes medication administration (including oral, topical, and injectables), palliative care, and hospice care. I have worked with dogs that do not have the use of their back legs, and dogs who have to wear diapers and need assistance using the restroom. I am a high school senior with early release. I can be out of school as soon as 11:15 to care for your pet. I do not have a fenced yard. I love to play with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I will walk whatever animal that you need, I am also able to take them on hikes if that is something there is interest in. I often care for farm animals including horses and cows, so I am available to care for them as well.

“Melanie was great with Stassi! My girl was so comfortable with her I went ahead and rebooked her for the following week for a last minute trip! Thank you so much Melanie!”



“Ruth was excellent with our cat, Alice, when she stopped in as we were away. She sent excellent photos of Alice looking very relaxed with her! Would happily have Ruth stay with her again.”


About: I consistently care for friends' dogs at college, so I'm used to handling a wide range of breeds, personalities, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own back home, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every dog like they're family—because that’s how I’d want mine to be treated! I live in Long Beach Island during the weekends over the summer. I am completely available Friday nights to midday Sunday. Apart from living at the beach, I will be living in NYC this summer from Monday-Friday while I intern at a large financial bank. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and of course, lots of love and attention. I always make sure their space stays clean and cozy—whether it’s tidying up litter boxes, wiping paws, or giving them a comfy spot to relax. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is doing great!

About: I was raised with a multitude of animals, including small and large breed dogs. I have puppy experience as well as medication administration. Currently I’m a fur momma to a large and medium sized dog. I’m currently working part time and have a wide range of availability. Also available for weekends and holidays or for drop in services and walks. I offer services at your home. At this time, I’m unable to spend overnights in your home, but can provide multiple visits a day. I provide safe care when taking on walks, potty breaks, and feeding. I can provide medication administration as well.

About: I have been loving on and taking care of my own dog Murphy for three years. I’ve had him since he was a baby so I have plenty of puppy experience. I have also grown up with my own family dog for almost 10 years helping walk, feed, groom and dog sit for multiple days at a time. I’ve house sat for family and friends with dogs, always incorporating lots of walks and play time! Family and neighbors have relied on me for years to watch their pets and I love to do it! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule; I am open to boarding on weekends and walking or drop ins any time! I have a small yard in a residential neighborhood. There’s lots of great areas for walks and play time, as well as plenty of room in the home for crating, games and any training if needed.

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.
