“Anthony’s been a huge help with my high-energy and leash-reactive GSP. They’ve really hit it off, and my pup’s taken quite a liking to him. Anthony’s reliable, keeps in touch promptly, and gets what my dog needs. He’s genuinely caring and approachable, which is a big plus. Thanks to Anthony, my dog’s routine has become much more manageable. If you’re on the lookout for a responsible and dog-friendly walker, he’s the way to go.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, starting with my own childhood dog who I raised and cared for throughout her life. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and truly understanding a dog’s needs at every stage. In addition to personal experience, I worked at a puppy store where I handled daily care for a variety of breeds. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and monitoring dogs to ensure they’re healthy, happy, and safe. I also assisted with basic grooming, maintained clean living spaces, and performed routine health checks. I’ve worked with energetic puppies who need structure and play, as well as dogs who require a calmer, more gentle approach. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’m also very communicative, so you’ll always feel confident while you’re away. I currently work another part time job as of now but I am open to changing my schedule as needed! I'm available Mon-Thurs anytime from 6am - 4pm, Fri-Sat: 4pm - 8pm. Sundays I have full availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During drop-in visits and walks, I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, energy level, and any specific instructions so I can provide consistent, reliable care. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all directions closely—from feeding and water refills to walk routines and any special requests. I always double-check that doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I stay alert on walks to ensure your dog is safe at all times. I’m mindful of creating a calm and positive environment during each visit, making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and not stressed while you’re away. I also prioritize communication and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.

About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Short Hills/Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and care for your home as gently as your pets! I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾

About: My journey with animals started over 13 years ago with my family cat, who taught me the importance of subtle body language and the specialized care that any pet requires. This lifelong bond grew into a passion for helping others, leading me to become the go-to sitter for my neighbors' dogs and cats for several years. What sets me apart: • Multi-Species Fluency: I currently look after both a cat and a dog daily. I understand the "odd couple" dynamic and know how to balance the high-energy needs of a dog with the boundaries and quiet requirements of a cat. • Reliability & Trust: My neighbors have trusted me with their home keys and their furry family members for years. I pride myself on being punctual, following specific feeding/medication instructions to the letter, and keeping a tidy space. • I know what it’s like to be in your shoes: As a pet owner myself, I also have looked for sitters and know the level of care and attentiveness that I seek for. It’s a classic example of upholding the standards that I want to see myself As a hybrid employee, my schedule is more flexible and can be naturally structured around consistent walking and feeding times. Whether I'm at home or visiting yours, I treat my pet-sitting requests as the priority of my day In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment where their existing feeding and sleep schedules are strictly followed. In your home, I prioritize security and maintaining your pet's sense of normalcy. Whether it’s rigorous playtime for dogs or quiet companionship for cats, I provide consistent updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own because I get it. I’ve been in your shoes as someone looking for a sitter

“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”

About: Love all types of fur babies! And ready to take care of yours like it’s my own. My boyfriend and I have our own shelter with 13 dogs and 6 cats at our farm in Colombia. Ready to stay active and go on a run or give them all the pets they need and let them nap! Up to the pup or kitty! I’m currently working part time so I’m available during the morning time and for overnight stays. And I love to take walks so if I can stay active and take your fur baby out, that’s perfect! I will take care of your pet as you wish! First, we would establish important health need-to-knows, routines, ground rules, do’s and don’t’s, then I’d be able make sure everyone is comfortable and clear about your pet’s needs.

“Nicole walked our dog Buddy during the spring break while we were out. She took care of buddy really well and was good with communicating and giving a heads-up as necessary.”

About: I have taken care of different kinds of cats and dogs since I was 8 years old! I have a dog of my own and he is my favorite ever!! I am currently working part time at a restaurant so i have plenty of time to care and play with some pets!! I am rarely unavailable! I will make sure they have enough food and water at all times and I will make sure that they feel loved and cared for!

“Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!! If you want someone that will treat your dog like their own Barbara is your go to person.”

About: I have had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember (since I was four, to be exact) - I know how to deal with the barking, gently wrestle a leash onto the wriggliest of pups, feed them on schedule even when they beg for early dinner, and give them all the love they could possibly need. I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after my dogs for years, and I am so excited to get to do that for other pups too! I am a college student home from school and have extreme flexibility with my schedule. I have a car, so I can drive to your house to take care of your pooch as needed at almost any time between 8 am and 6 pm. The most important thing for me when taking care of pets is their comfort. As much as I love to cuddle our fur babies, if they don’t like physical touch I will give them their space. I am happy to play tug of war, fetch, and even let them chase me around outside (I understand needs change depending on the breed). I feed them as instructed and on schedule (having trained myself to resist even the cutest of puppy eyes begging for extra treats) and make sure they only get what their owners have left for them to have. I also love taking dogs on walks for exercise, both for their sake and my own!

“Gabrielle is wonderful. She’s kind and patient with our dog. She remembers everything he needs.”

“Vanessa was great with our dog. She was easy to communicate with, sent updates, and our dog was all wags with her. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats since I was born, and animals have always been a major part of my life. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared-for in your absence. I take the time to follow routines, respect training preferences, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles and fish, I have a genuine appreciation for animals of all kinds. I am very tidy and maintain a clean and safe space in my home for your pets to thrive in. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, responsibility, and respect at all times.

About: I give personalized care to every pet. I also have experience with dogs, whether it’s reinforcing basic training or providing attentive care, I adjust my approach to fit them. I plan my schedule around consistency and reliability. I make sure pets get timely walks, meals, playtime and specific care they need. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I intentionally structure my time around. In a client’s home I focus on maintaining their normal schedule so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at ease.

“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”
