“Shannon is very professional, caring and attentive. She came out to meet our cats first. She did a great job with both of our cats. One of our cats requires insulin injections 2 times a day and she did a great job with him. We loved all of the daily updates and photos. Definitely recommend Shannon and we plan to reach out to her again in the future.”


About: My passion for animals has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Whether its a lizard like my pet bearded dragon or fluffy dog, I've never encountered a creature that didn't make my heart melt. Growing up with my German Shepherd, Roxy, gave me years of hands on experience caring for her from her energetic puppy days through her senior years with hip issues. I’ve also had the opportunity to house sit and care for friends’ dogs and cats, each with their own personalities and needs. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to adjust care based on a pet’s age, temperament, and physical abilities. Whether it’s providing an engaging walk for a high energy dog or offering gentle, attentive care to an older pet, I always strive to make each animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time job. Since my work schedule varies, I’m often available on different days throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I use this flexibility to make time for pet care and ensure I can give each pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I plan ahead to avoid overbooking and to be fully present during walks, visits, or over night stays. Providing reliable, compassionate care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent experience. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, rest, and play, and I adjust my care based on their age, energy level, and personality. For walks, I make sure each outing is not just exercise, but also mentally engaging and enjoyable. I walk at their pace, pay attention to their comfort, and prioritize safety at all times. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a fun, focused walk, I aim to give your pets the attention, patience, and care they deserve.


“Elizabeth is a joy to work with! She is responsible, competent, compassionate, and dedicated. Not only is she prompt in her check-in’s she really cares about the animals she works with. During a challenging moment with my dog while we were on vacation, she politely remained in contact but took control of the situation and both the house and dog were right as rain by the time we got back! 10/10 would hire her again!”


“Dawn is the best. My cat loves her and he pretty much hates everyone! She takes care of everything and we feel totally at ease letting her care for our mitzu kitty. We wouldn't book with anyone else.”


About: I've been dog sitting since I was 14. They have been so much fun to hangout with. They sometimes can be silly but they are all lovable I am currently working part time so I have a lot of spare time. I am also a college student so I can only work till sug 23rd. I will treat them as my own. I have 2 cats at home and have taken care of dogs for a long time. I love taking care of animals.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a certified dog trainer with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of breeds over the years. I’ve had dogs of my own and currently share my life with a beautiful Pitbull-mix named Thor. I truly understand the challenges of balancing a busy schedule while trying to train your pup or meet their everyday needs. My goal is to alleviate that stress by providing reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable support to both you and your dog. I currently work full-time, so my availability will primarily be on weekends, though I may have some flexibility during the week. If needed on weekdays, I can mainly assist with walking, house visits, or training sessions. I will do my best to accommodate the needs of both my clients and their pups. If there are any special requests, please let me know in advance so I can prepare accordingly and follow any preferences you may have.

About: I’ve had my Sheepadoodle for 7 years, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help when you need someone reliable to walk your dog. I am currently taking a summer class 3 days a week early in the morning so I am availed most times of the day and anytime on the weekends. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with plenty of attention and playtime. I have a friendly Sheepadoodle who gets along well with other dogs. I also have a crate available if needed, whether for a safe resting space or for pets who are used to sleeping in one.

About: I've been around household pets my entire life. My special skill is simply kindness and attention to detail. I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I am newly retired so all of my attention will be on your baby! I am newly retired and at home full time. All of my attention will go to your pup for the duration of their visit. He/she will always have company. I will be respectful of whatever routine you have in place for your fur baby. Outside of that, with permission, your pup would hang out with my family and I indoors and/or in our fenced in backyard. We do have an inground pool but I will be extremely attentive and careful not to ever leave your baby unattended. With your permission, your baby can join us for a nice swim!

About: I'm a big dog owner for 20 + years. Had labs, pit bull mixes, rottweiler and a golden retriever, etc. Love dogs...they are so sweet and loving. Love to walk them and play with them. I work FT at home in Laurence Harbor (part of Old Bridge). I can board your dog(s) for you at my home. I have plenty of dog toys and 2 dog beds. I dog sit for friends and family very regularly. I have a good sized fenced in yard with a 6ft vinyl fence. I love to walk dogs, play ball, cuddle and spoil all the dogs I watch. If you are looking for dog walking or dog sitting at your home, I can mostly only do that evenings or weekends. I can provide references as well. I can board your dog at my home 7 days a week. Drop in visits/dog walking or dog sitting at your home is evenings and weekends. I have no pets at this time. My golden retriever, Chase, passed away 4 years ago. I have a fenced in yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood.


About: My family has always had at least one pet. As a child, we had a mutt until I was 6, then when I was 16 we adopted a Golden. My brother now has a loving, excitable Whippet mix, and my sister and brother-in-law have two pit bulls who I am in love with. In the city, I can't afford to have a dog so sitting for someone's pooch would be the next best thing. I come from a respectable background, 12 years of Catholic School, and have a Graduate degree as well. I'm an Actor, Voice-Over Artist and Producer. I have two sweet cats that I’ve always taken very good care of for the past 10 years. The three of us have been through everything together. I always try to keep them on a routine when it comes to feeding and I grew up with dogs where we practice the same type of schedule. I take pets and owner and people safety very seriously. We all love our pets so much and I would never ever want anything to happen. At home, I keep vigilance and make sure my cats are never around anything that could harm them. For example I have one cat who is obsessed with plastic bags, but I will never leave him alone with one..

“Cortney was friendly, trustworthy and is clearly passionate about taking care of pets! Cortney had great communication everyday and I would have her watch my pets again anytime.”
