About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my first family dog. Currently, I help take care of our two dogs at home alongside my mom. In addition to my own pets, I also look after a few family friends’ dogs, giving me a variety of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities, but especially pitbulls! As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be available for pet care after 3 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekend, as well as most days in the summer! I regularly care for my own two family dogs and help out with my family friends’ pets, so dog walking and sitting naturally fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and enjoy spending my free time with animals. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. At a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and secure. At my home, my pets get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a calm environment to relax in. I treat every pet like they’re my own!

“Jayde was amazing! My dogs absolutely loved her and she was super attentive to their needs. I’m so happy to find a sitter that we love and trust!”


About: My life has been surrounded by animals. Rest assured I’ll make sure to attend to your pets needs and provide any special accommodations. I'm great at communicating how your pet is doing during their stay or after my interactions with them. I am a student attending Stockton. I live in Northfield and also spend time in the summer in Wildwood Crest. My family also enjoys opening our home to care for your beloved pets. I have a large fenced in yard in order to allow your pet to exercise and roam freely. I am also available to provide services in your home as well. My home is pet friendly.

“This was the first time we used Rover. Cassie was excellent and made us feel that she was the right person to take care of our babies. Although they are sweet, they are a handful sometimes when they have to be taken out for walks. The spaniel in them tends to dominate the walks. She was so sweet and sent pictures and videos and made us feel at ease.”


“Abby was phenomenal. She provided updates and pics. We had a lot of fur babies to care for and we can’t thank her enough. 8 days was a long time for us to be away and when we returned they all seemed happy! I would highly recommend Abby and hope we get to use her again in the future!!! Our home was cared for and she went the extra step and even cleaned the linens and brought our trash receptacles back up for us. A+++”



“I needed a dog sitter overnight for 4 nights, I contacted Keira and we set up a day and time so Keira could meet my dog Marley. Keira was prompt and had a note pad and pen to take notes as I described a normal day for Marley and the insulin shots he required daily. Keira came to the house early as my flight was very early. Keira texted me daily regarding Marley, and sent a photo. Upon my return the house was just as I had left it. Keira went above and beyond taking great care of Marley while I was gone. I so appreciated it knowing that my dog would be taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Keira for dog walking os sitting as she was exceptional! And I will be using her in the future if available. Thank you Keira, you made my trip more enjoyable knowing that you were here taking good care of Marley!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve had both cats and dogs, I’ve volunteered at farms assisting with animal care. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby :) I currently work full time.

I will adhere to your pets schedule along with your schedule. I will ensure the pets have their food, walks on time and that their living quarters are clean.

About: Hard working single mom. I have a very flexible schedule. I work full time as an esthetician at a spa in mays landing. I have a French bull dog boston terrier mix dog daughter name jinx. I was able to have her trained doing a few tricks within a 2 day span. I don't have many limitations when it comes to pet care (poop doesn't scare me) I own my own vehicle so transportation is no problem. My days off are Wednesday and Thursday. My full time job allows me to be flexible with my hours. I have open availability for most days of the week. I have all the patience in the world. I've been told I have a calming aura. I have never had any bad run ins with anyone's pets. Im not opposed to helping with house sitting or house cleaning along with pet care.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and i’ve always had a passion for working with animals. I have experience as a dog bather so i’ve seen various breeds and i’ve met dogs of all ages! I am an animal lover, I’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs and cats to goats and cows 🐄. I am determined to make your pets time with me as stress free as possible! pets>people! ❤️ I am currently working part time, so your pets will have my full attention! I have a dog myself as well as two cats who I am responsible for as well as other family pets. I have one dog who is very friendly, and two outside cats. if your dog is stressed by other animals I am able to set up a crate if needed in a separate room or also just spend a lot of time outside with your dog to keep them happy and away from the stress. I have a fenced backyard and a safe neighborhood for walks. This also applies to your home

“Absolutely fantastic! I have a senior German shepherd with mobility issues and medications galore and a husky mix. She was able to take care of both of them and sent pics/updates through my time away. I’m always nervous about leaving my dogs so I really appreciated her sending those pics. Great sitter!!”


About: I have 3 years experience dog sitting in South Jersey! I also work at a dog boarding facility as a kennel attendant! I have, on multiple occasions, house sat as well for far away jobs. I have 6 years of fostering experience. This includes cats, dogs, ferrets, tarantulas, and hamsters. I have cared for cats my whole life and have also owned fish and rats. I juggle Rover with a part-time job, but I am very flexible, and it doesn’t take too much time out of my week. I am willing to travel up to 30 minutes for check ins and house sit far away. When I’m taking care of your pets, that is my complete focus. My top priority is keeping your pets as stress-free, happy, and healthy as possible, and I will try to accommodate in any way you ask.


About: I have a deep love and compassion for animals, and caring for them brings me true joy and fulfillment. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply spending time with them, I find great purpose in making sure they feel safe, healthy, and loved. I enjoy learning about their unique behaviors and needs, and I take pride in being gentle, patient, and responsible. I work part time under 20 hours a week which allows me to take care of my babies and allows to me to take care of yours as well. every animal is unique and each requires different needs. whether it be diet restriction to different toys they like the most. the most important thing is making sure your pet is comfortable around me and to make it as easy as possible for your pet to enjoy being with someone else that they are not used to yet.

About: I've had pets since I was 10, from medium-sized mutts to lil' mini-poodles to German Shepherd puppies to feral cat angels. Similarly to many dogs, I am over-enthusiastic and eager, I enjoy long walks and chaotic good. I have lots of energy and will absolutely treat your pet like an anthropomorphic deity. It's your job to keep them humble. I live in Queen Village near many parks and lovely, walkable areas. I like to run (if that’s your dog’s thing) and equally so, I like to couch potato it (if that’s your dog’s thing). I work from home at present, so I’m very flexible in my availability and the amount of time I’m able to spend with your pet throughout the day. I keep my place tediously tidy so there are no worries about your pet getting into anything toxic. All of my houseplants are out of pets' reach, I primarily use organic cleaning products. I feel safe unleashing a small infant here. At your place, I'll just be hyper vigilant and respectful of your space.

If there’s any questions you have, don’t hesitate to ask !! I am available to do Drop ins, Walks or Sitting in your home from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 6pm, I am in school part time, and that gives me more free time If I were to take care of your pet in your home, I would respect any rules you have for your pet and your home. Clean up any messes your pet makes, give them medication if they needed it, take them for long walks, especially if they are a bigger breed. And do whatever I can to make the best experience for you and your pet as I can.

“Jessika was great! She communicated a lot, sent pictures, looked after my home and treated my family just like they were her own! She was also attentive and super helpful, asking if there was anything she could help with around the house awhile I was away. If I could give her 10 stars I would ☺️”


“Allison was amazing with our pups and our home!! She went above and beyond on every count & left the house nicer than it was when we left! It was my first time being away from either pup for this long & Allison was amazing with sending me tons of pictures too. :) Both our puppies were happy and healthy the whole time we were gone!! And both our puppies missed her when she left!! We will definitely be using Allison again whenever we’re here and in need of anything pup related. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you, Allison!”

“Sammy W. has stayed overnight at my house on multiple occasions caring for my crazy but friendly Pitbull and 4 chickens. I was really impressed when I first met her by how pleasant and mature she is and by the way she interacted with my animals-very calm and confident. Sammy took excellent care of not only our pets, but our house was immaculate when we returned. She shows up on time and goes above and beyond what is asked of her. I highly recommend her with absolutely no reservations.”
