“We’re so grateful for the care and love you gave our dog while we were away! You were responsible, communicative, and truly treated our pup like family. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth is a great Pet walker and sitter. She has walked Toby every day for the past week, she is always on time to pick him up and he is always ready and happy to see her. After his walk he goes peacefully to sleep for a few hours so he is definitely getting exercise during the walk. She is flexible with the schedule and is open to changes. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care and spent time with animals since I was young. I have one gorgeous husky of my own and have watched over my family/friends' dogs and cats many times. With years of hands on experience, I'm confident in caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities! No matter the task, I always have an attentive and loving approach to make your pet feel their best. I am currently a second-year Rutgers student who is home for the summer, which gives me more than enough time to care for my pup and your cute pets as well! At my home, I have a deck and patio that my husky loves to hang out on. At the moment, I do not offer overnight boardings, however I do offer drop in visits, walks, and sittings. I can come to your house and walk, feed, and play with your pups (and/or kitties)!
“Elaine has been amazing with our dog, Jax! He’s usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear she really understands dogs and takes her time to make them feel comfortable. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so glad we found her!”
About: I will provide the best care possible for your dog. I grew up with so many pets so I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for another person's. As I have a dog of my own, I would treat the job as I would take care of my own, whether that's taking your dogs for a nice walk around the neighborhood or snuggling up on the couch and keeping them company and cared for while you're away, I'm the girl for it! My schedule is very flexible, so I am readily available to dog walk or to house sit if needed. I'll do my best to ensure you are happy and satisfied with who is taking care of your dog and you won't be disappointed! I work full-time, however in the summer I am extremely flexible and can be available whenever I am needed. Let me know if you would like someone to care for your pet and we can work out a schedule that works best! I make sure to give my pets lots of attention and love the same as I would do for your pets as well as follow the instructions I’d be given.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was 6, so I know how to take care of different pets no matter what kinda of pet is. I just love animals! , so I don’t mind taking care of them. :> I am currently working part-time in a university dining hall in the afternoons , where I work every other weekend. I have classes in the mornings; however, I am fully available during school breaks, and my sister and parents help me taking care of the pet when I’m not at home.(My schedule might change when classes start) I have a younger sister of 11 years friendly and loves pets. I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.
About: My fiancé, Shandy, and I are extremely playful and caring people. We have had pets since a young age and know how to manage pets with social anxiety, rescued animals, animals with need of medication, etc. During our 2018 summer, my fiancé was interning at a Veterinarian clinic and her job was to feed, play, and inject/give animals their medication. If you need a pet sitter than let us know and if we’re available we will be able to give him/her the attention they need. My fiancé and I both work. Shandy works part-time so she will mostly be available but I work full-time 3-4 days a week so that’s why we work on this together. We will respect what is okay or not okay depending on each owner’s pets. For example, we can take them to dog parks if they get along with other dogs or if they don’t like being walked and only wee wee pad trained we will pick up after them.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. From hamsters, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, geckos, etc. I have had them all! I am always a reliable source for pet care when friends and neighbors are away. I currently work weekends and am attending school in the evenings a few days a week- so I have all day to play and care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and two cats who are accepting of other animals. I can crate or provide a comfy space for your pets so they feel pampered and safe!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family, so you can expect plenty of love, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I wake up every morning at 6:00 AM, which allows me to provide early morning potty breaks, feedings, walks, or check-ins without rushing. Since I’m not currently working outside the home, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple visits, long walks, playtime, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love, care, and consistency they deserve while you’re away. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have a friendly, spayed female dog who gets along well with other dogs, and your pet will have plenty of opportunities for supervised play and companionship if they’re comfortable with other animals. My apartment community also has a large grassy area that’s perfect for walks, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding schedule, provide fresh water, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a safe, clean environment to help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free, fun, and loving as possible while you’re away.

I seriously cannot recommend Paige enough! She is absolutely wonderful with our girl Leia, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands when we’re not home. Paige is so sweet, reliable, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief having someone we can trust to take care of our girl. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby!
We had an excellent experience with Mackinzie walking our dog, Cooper, for 4 days, twice a day. She was punctual every single day, dependable, and took great care of Cooper. We really appreciated how she kept us updated after each walk and shared pictures and all the important information, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was caring, responsible, and clearly treated Cooper with love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable. We would definitely book her again!
Eva is so wonderful!! She is timely, communicative and very flexible. She was easy to coordinate with and book when we were looking for a dog walker while our dog was staying with my parents. We are very thankful to have found Eva for our dog and appreciate how friendly and caring she is!
Veronica and her husband Ryan were amazing, Shadow hit it off with them immediately! I will be using them for boarding in September and they were very accommodating when I said I wanted to do a couple walks with them before boarding to build a relationship with Shadow. I am so happy I found them and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for care for their pets.
Gianna is incredible! She is our Anakin’s absolute favorite. He is always so happy when we come home from work. Shes been with us on Anakin’s puppy journey from drop in visits to now walks and she’s great. Always gives updates, sends photos, and is so kind. 10/10 recommend!
Nicalina is truly the best dog walker we could ask for! She’s incredibly communicative, reliable, and always keeps us updated, which gives us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loves her, you can tell how excited he gets whenever she arrives. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found her!
Hannah was amazing with my Tallulah! First, she was available on such short notice and really helped me out when another sitter cancelled. She went above and beyond and made sure Tallulah was loved and cared for. I felt completely at ease. She was so accommodating since my pup is dealing with a few health issues right now. She wrote a long note at the end and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend Hannah and definitely want to work with her again!
