“Nicole is absolutely phenomenal with our Cole. She has such a great way with our little guy and he looks forward to his walks with Nicole. Nicole is so reliable and informative. Best dog Walker ever!!”


About: I’m an absolute animal lover of all kinds! I have over 14 years of experience between all sizes of animals, ranging from my small bunny to my large dogs! I’ve administered various animal medications and insulin shots to animals with diabetes. Animal care and health has always been important to me. There have been various situations where family members and friends have had me take care of their pets for weeks at a time! I’m currently taking remote classes, before heading off to nursing school in the winter. Due to this, my schedule is open and flexible to best fit your pet care needs! When taking care of your pets at your home, I will be very diligent on following the schedule and routine that you provide for me to follow.

“Emily is a great dog walker/pet sitter. I have a very high energy and excitable dog who loves her and she is very knowledgeable on how to interact with all different kinds of dogs. I will continue to use her and recommend her to anyone with fur babies :)”


“Nadine, was great. She communicated with us fast and helped us along the way. Our dog is on the lager size and she handled him amazingly. She was sweet and attentive. We highly recommend”


About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to chill senior cats, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up messes, and giving meds if needed. I truly love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full weekend of care, I’m here to help and make your pet feel safe and happy. I am a college student with only a babysitting job at the moment! I can do early mornings, any time after 5pm and any time on the weekends! Caring for pets means ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow routines, and build trust through gentle, attentive care. I respect each pet’s unique needs, provide proper food, water, and exercise, and stay alert for any signs of stress or illness. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize security (closed gates/doors, safe toys) and maintain clear communication with owners.

“Amy is wonderful!! Amy started walking our dog a few weeks she had a great interest in learning his personality and his behaviors. He has adapted very well to Amy. You can tell she is a dog lover!! Very easy to get to know! Otto is looking forward to his next play date with Amy!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for dozens of years. I am patient and also athletic, and not afraid of scooping poo. Meticulous and responsible, I strive to continue to follow your schedule to ensure your pet(s) receive The Best Care. Ready to walk, play and keep a healthy routine for fur babies. I understand how important it is for pets to be loved and treated kindly. I own 2 middle-aged cats, so home pet care isn’t an option. However, I am very active and can walk long distances and keep your pet comfortable and happy during walks and visits.


“Logan has been amazing ! She is very reliable and has been a huge help with checking on my dog and my cats as well. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking for someone reliable and who has great communication.”


About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I truly cannot imagine living a life without a furry family member! In my lifetime, we have had a total of 6 pets, half of them being strays or rescues. One of our cats got diabetes and I had to give him insulin shots. My one dog Lexi got cancer and I had to pick her up to go out to pee as she lost control in her legs (she was a large golden doodle). Our one cat Hoodie was a feral kitten that we found hiding in the hood of my mom’s car. We were able to domesticate her and now she’s a fat happy house cat. Overall I have experience with all ages, including seniors, and strays. I currently work at Rowan University, working their summer theatre camp. I have a lot of availability as that is only in the mornings/afternoons and my weekends are free. I care with pets with love and respect. I treat them as part of the family rather than a pet. I am very responsible as I work with kids on the daily. I exude patience, kindness, and understanding and lead my work with this always in mind.

“Devon is a trust worthy sweet caring person who luvs animals. She not only walks my dog. She takes time to entertain him. He gets so excited when he knows she’s there to care for him. This I truly appreciate! I’ve been a reoccurring customer now for several months.”

I’m so excited at the chance to care for your beloved pet.🐶🐱 Your dog or cat will be treated like family, loved, respected, and given all the attention they need to feel safe and happy.

I also offer a complimentary meet and greet to ensure we’re the right fit for both you and your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time during the day, so I’m most available in the evenings and on weekends. I already spend that time caring for my own pets, so it’s easy and enjoyable to extend that care to others. Reliable, loving pet visits are something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect the space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets the attention, affection, and care they’re used to. My goal is to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Chelsea. I live in Clayton, NJ with my dog, Lucy (11 year old black lab) and chinchilla, Tinkerbell (12 years old). I’ve been a huge animal lover my whole life and have had and cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, chinchillas, bunnies, guinea pigs, gerbils, ducks, and chickens. Kids and animals have always been my two biggest passions. My day job is a Kindergarten teacher and now I am just looking for a fun weekend/summer gig doing something I genuinely love! I promise to love and care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher, so during the school year, my availability is limited to weekends and evening hours, but over the summer I will have wide-open availability, and would love to help out with your pets! Unfortunately, my dog is very afraid of other animals so all visits would have to be in the home of the clients. Also, because I have my own fur babies, I cannot do overnights, but I can do several visits throughout the day/evening.

About: I can walk dogs and do house visits any time before during the week. I work in the medical field at a High School full-time. I have always had a passion for caring and helping others. I know what it is like to be a pet parent and would want someone to take care of my cat (current) or dog(current) in the same way that I would when I needed it. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet in the same way that you do, then look no further. I have pristine listening skills and want to make sure all of the things you ask me to do for your pet are done. I grew up owning and caring for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters and love them all. I always go out of my way to say hi to furry friends and help any that are in need. I regularly donate to my local animal shelter and volunteer to care for my family members' pets. I am open to boarding your pet at my house, house visits, walking, and house sitting. I currently own a senior cat who is very friendly towards other animals and I am able to keep her separated from your pet if need be. I also have a dog friendly and cat friendly dog that would also be kept separate. I can’t wait to meet you and your family pet! This summer I have apple free time to help you with your pet care needs! I teach one class at a local college 3 days a week so I am available before and after my class and on the other days. I have a fully fenced in yard that is 6ft+ tall. I keep the yard meticulously clean and free of hazards as I have my own dog. I am very observant and aware. I always think ahead when it comes to my furry friends.
