“Jade is absolutely awesome! She has been terrific with my boy Buddy. Jade takes the time to give my guy special attention and he loves his walks with her. She is so caring and you can really see the love she shares with my Buddyman! We love Jade!”


“Elizabeth has been our dog walker and I can say she is so good with our puppy Kylo! She constantly updates us to ensure he’s exercised and kept busy! We trust her to know our little pup is always safe! Would recommend to anyone for petcare!”


“We’ve used Jonathan a few times now to walk our older dog, Archer, when we’ve been away. Not only is he prompt, reliable and trustworthy, it’s clear he truly cares. We had some difficulty finding someone to walk Archer because he requires extra care and assistance having a BM. Jonathan was very patient as I trained and instructed him. Now, we have the utmost trust and peace of mind that Archer will be well cared for when we’re away or not able to. If I could give him 10 stars I would.”


About: Hi there! I’m a 26-year-old animal lover living with my partner, and one lovable senior pup. Fred, our senior dog, is the gentlest soul you’ll ever meet. All fur babies boarding in my home are friendly and used to being around other animals. However, most remain separated until acclimated for safety reasons. (Please request solo boarding at time of reservation if you’d prefer your fur baby not to be with other animals) We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your furry friend to feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away, so I’m here to provide a calm, caring environment for your pet while you're gone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or outdoor playtime, I’m happy to match your pet’s needs and routines. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby I work from 9am to 2pm, so I handle all walks, playtime, and feeding for my pets from 7-9am before I head out. When I get home around 2:30pm, I do another round of walks, playtime, and feeding. At 12 I come home for lunch and do snack time. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to fit your fur babies needs please discuss any special requests with me. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 2:30pm and weekends after 10am, making it easy to care for your pets while accommodating my schedule. Whether it’s for a play session, walks, or just some cozy cuddle time, your pet will feel right at home with my flexible routine. I offer pet care in my home, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet will enjoy a structured routine with feeding, playtime, and walks, all while being surrounded by my friendly fur family—Fitzgerald, Westley, and Fred. I’m experienced in providing special care, like administering medication or post-surgery recovery. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet's specific routine and needs. Before boarding, we’ll have a conversation to understand your pet's wants and requirements, ensuring they have the best possible stay with us.

“Victoria is so genuine. On the first walk with Buddy the pictures and commentary all made me feel like I was right there with them. You don’t wanna choose anyone else.”


“Andrea did a great job with my 2 dogs. They really liked her and she was very patient with them. It was easy to communicate with her and she gave us so many pics of the daily walks. Being able to have trust on the person that’s handling your fur babies is so rare so I’m glad we met Andrea.”

I am active and healthy in my daily routine and maintain rigid schedules and notes concerning pet care. I care for pets at a clients home in order to descrease stress for all invlolded especially the pets who need to create a trust and bond in their own enviornment

About: I had a maltipoo who I cared for for 13 years so I am confident in caring for pups like her. I’ve also had to dog-sit some friends’ dogs who’d I bring for walks, play in the yard, and fill food and water bowls for them while gone! I generally work 3 days a week so I am looking to care and walk dogs for a couple other days during my week to fill my days. I will make sure to close all doors that I have entered and make sure the dog is back in the house before leaving. I will make sure I put everything back to where they were and fill any bowls that I am instructed to make sure the dogs are comfortable until their owners or next person comes to see them!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years in my family. Currently have my own girl named Reign. Very comfortable with bathing, walking and training as needed I presently work from home with flexible availability, So I’ll have plenty of time to meet your pups needs! Available for drop ins, walks and boarding. I live in a house with my 1 dog. Plenty of space to run and play, house has a fenced yard as well for exploring. I can easily crate your dog if need and if they feel more comfortable with it that.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I'd also happily walk/spend time with your dog. I've had a lot of good experiences with them as well - me and my landlady's dog are good pals! I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can potentially swap my shift in an urgent situation. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I've taken care of dogs since I was 8, and I used to work at a doggy daycare. I work part time while focusing on my music career which gives me plenty of time to take care of my 8 year old pomeranian and hopefully your dog as well. I'm very attentive to details/instructions, take daily walks and grooming (as needed). I strive to create a safe and fun atmosphere for everyone involved in my care.

About: Hi, my name is Sukran. I am 26 years old. I’ve been caring for cats for over 4 years. I used to have two cats, but now I have one sweet companion at home. I absolutely love spending time with cats whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just hanging out together. Being around them brings me so much joy, and I’m confident in understanding their needs and making them feel safe and loved. My home is always available for pet care, and I can provide a safe and loving environment. I work 4 days a week, but I’m always able to send regular photo and video updates to keep you connected with your pet. Even while working, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. We already share our home with a lovely cat, so it’s a pet friendly and safe environment. We know what does that mean having a cat at home!

“Kavya is great, very gentle and caring, my dogs loved her. Also very precise and reliable. She gave lot of feedbacks and sent pictures.”



About: Besides years of experience with my own pets at home (including but not limited to my dog, guinea pig, fish, bunny, turtle, and more), I have over a year experience dealing with a variety of dogs and cats as an intern at Westwood Regional Veterinary hospital. I have experience handling, walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs both small and large. Not only that but I had formed such strong connections with my patients that some clients requested me for in-home dog sitting. As an incoming college student, my schedule has become more free, opening up more opportunities to care for your pets! During the summer I am available almost every day unless listed otherwise. Don’t hesitate to reach out! I am not currently accepting boarding in my own home, however I am more than happy to pet sit as well as stay overnight sitting in a clients home. I care for your pets to the best of my ability with your instructions kept in mind.

About: I’m a dog parent to a 1-year-7-month-old Corgi, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I have hands-on experience with crate training, leash walking, and keeping up with energetic dogs. I’m also patient and attentive with seniors or pets who need extra care. Your pet will be treated like family—because I wouldn’t settle for anything less either! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work from home—and so does my husband! Our flexible schedules mean your pet will get plenty of attention, love, and timely care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some company, we’re around to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on comfort, safety, and keeping their routine consistent. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to play—including a fully fenced backyard where they can safely roam and get their energy out. Plus, they’ll have a friendly Corgi companion if they’re social! In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, giving them the love and attention they’re used to.

About: I've been dedicated to caring for dogs, ensuring they have a safe, loving, and enriching environment every single day. I also focus on their training, tracking their progress and helping them grow in a positive, structured way. Their well-being and development are always my top priority, and I take pride in providing a space where they feel secure, happy, and loved. I have plenty of time to take care of the dog keeping their schedules for feeding them , providing regular exercise routine including walking around the park. These activities promote a happy, healthy stay and strengthen the bond between myself and your dog. I have nice place, safe environment for dogs including a green yard where they can play around and exercise as well. Safety is a priority! There are no more dogs or pets around.

About: look no further for your boarding needs! I started working with dogs steadily a few years ago when the covid pandemic struck our country, and at that time we were having our baby. I noticed a dog walking position on Indeed, and decided to give it a try, knowing I have always loved dogs and animals in general, and began working for a small startup that I have since left, and with new experience and knowledge I decided to give it a try on my own, and have loved every moment since. Our little family will care for your pup like no other. When your pet is in our home, they will be adored by my daughter a gentle and playful 4 yr old, and will have attention and care as if they were our very own family member! We have some wonderful clients and are looking to expand and perhaps create a pet brand worthy of being called a family. We hope to create lasting bonds with your pup so they feel at home even when you must leave them with us for a bit. We have a few clients but are looking to expand our boarding roster! We usually sit for our clients when they go on a trip for business or a vacation, and some of our clients have multiple dogs. Our days usually begin at 7-8am, with breaks at 1pm, 5pm, and end around 930-10 pm with a last walk of the night. Any preferences will be taken into account on a case-by-case basis so we can provide the ultimate comfortable stay for your pet. we understand that a pup can feel anxious and even sad when boarding, so we work to minimize that inevitable feeling of missing you! We have plenty of room, and your pup will have roaming privileges unless you say otherwise. They will hang with the family and most of the time our pup friends as we call them tend to laze about and get comfortable, or play. We also make regular park visits. Some clients prefer to provide crates in order to keep their pet feeling secure in a familiar place, please let us know of any preferences or concerns you have, but we have one available for regular sized dogs that may prefer it.

About: We are a husband and wife team so you’re getting 2 sitters for the price of 1! I’ve had all sorts of pets from fish, to reptiles, amphibians, rodents, dogs, cats, and marsupials. I am a life long animal lover and have owned all different breeds of dogs including a few of the more“stubborn” breeds such as a husky, a chow/Doberman mix, and a pitbull, so I am willing and able to care for breeds with strong personalities. I have also had plenty of experience with little dogs, such as my 16 year old chihuahua and my moms Pomeranian, so I am also well versed in dealing with DIVAS! I have watched MANY puppies and worked on their leash skills, basic commands, and I think just being around other dogs really helps puppies figure out what is acceptable, they learn so much from one another. I have also had 2 dogs who lived to be at least 16 years old so I know how to work with seniors and have systems for carrying larger old dogs up/down our outside steps when they need to go potty. I am also well versed and comfortable with administering oral medication. I own a two family home (side by side units) and my unit is a two floor three bedroom home. I have an unfenced yard and a large front porch so on a leash your pet can spend plenty of time outside. This is my full time job so I am home majority of the time and my husband works as a coach in the evenings. So basically, there is only ever about an hour where dogs are left alone at home. During this time they will either be in crates of gated areas to ensure they’re not able to get into any trouble. Typically my 11 year old daughter is also home with them during that hour but for everyone’s safety she doesn’t let them out of their respective crates or gated areas when she is home alone. We have a large un fenced yard and our home is two floors. We try to keep the dogs confined to the first floor all day, so that we can have an eye on them at all times. If certain dogs require sleeping with us, then those dogs are brought upstairs at night to our bedroom. We separate them for feeding times, either with gates, playpens, or crates. That’s just an extra precaution so no fights over food could ever occur. We can separate the first floor into 3 sections, living room, dining room, and kitchen, if necessary. We also have a gate up on the porch so that the dogs can safely hang out outside when the weather permits. Always supervised and we also have cameras.


About: Hello there! My name is Sarah and I’ve worked in many facets of animal care over the last 12+ years Most recently, I ran a canine boarding and training facility for 6.5 years that dealt specifically with anxious, fearful and behaviorally challenging pups. I've trained many dogs and puppies looking to improve obedience skills. Before this, I worked for almost 4 years in and animal shelter while simultaneously working at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I am well trained in animal behavior and understand even the most finicky of pets. I believe that every animal is an individual and should be treated as such. I have a zoo of my own: 3 cats, 1 pup and a menagerie of insects and reptiles. I am currently free as a bird! I do not have any schedule restrictions at this time. So, just let me know how I can help! I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own. I understand the needs of animals change from pet to pet and am ready to accommodate.

Kristine M.
“I honestly don’t want to share Kristine’s services with anyone because she is too good to my 3 animals. However sharing is caring so let me tell you - there is no one who will love your animals the way you do-EXCEPT Kristine !!!! My animals love her and are calm and happy while we are away for the weekend/week, or just the evening. Kristine has been helping us for over a year and I have never been happier knowing my animals are in the best care. They are always excited to see her and are perfectly happy and content when we return. I have a rescue with separation anxiety who also has dietary restrictions- Oliver who looks more like a bear than a dog. Then I have a pug who needs all the attention and love -Puck is his name; and my tiny tiger scaredy rescue cat Klause. Our animals are undoubtedly high maintenance and it’s amazes me that Klause is out and about showing love even though he typically doesn’t show a whisker when strangers are in the house- the only exception is Kristine; who gives so much love that he greets her and lets her pet and pick him up. that’s huge for my scaredy cat. Honestly your animals would be lucky to have her watching them/ walking them/or just visiting them.”

I’d trust them with my own pet any day!”

Kat T.Star Sitter
“Kat is the best dog sitter one could ever wish for. Reliable, trustworthy, friendly, animal lover and dog sitter extraordinaire. During the time I lived in North Bergen, she cared for our rebellious German Shepherd "Shadow". Shadow loves her dearly and whines for her every time she has to go. I couldn't recommend her enough. Need a dog sitter, call Kat!”




Sarah C.
“I have a 90lb mutt, Til, that can be a lot for some dog walkers to handle. She is very strong, likes to pull, and doesn’t necessarily love other dogs. I’ve had 3 other dog walkers tell me that she was too much for them. I finally found Sarah, who has 3 years of dog behavior experience working shelter dogs. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy and knowledgeable pet sitter.”
