About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have had a variety of all animals such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, etc for as long as I can remember. I’ve had exposure to animals of all age ranges. In the past, I have had senior dogs who have had seizure disorders and provided comfort care for them until the end including medications, pain management and helping them through challenging moments from their medical conditions. My focus and goal being apart of your pets care is to provide them a safe, comfortable, friendly environment while under my care and also just having fun! I have had dogs that I have worked with on behavioral modification training, leash training, potty training, etc. Although I am not a certified trainer, I have had exposure to reward and positive reinforcement training and have worked on this closely with a trainer and my own animals and have seen the benefits. I am looking forward to being a positive impact on your sanity and your pets care! I currently am out of work and expecting a little one! With all of my free time, I’d love to put it towards doing something I love and enjoy, spending it with animals! In my clients home, I would ensure that all pets needs are met with food, water, stimulation with play, etc. For safety I would leash the pet before opening the door for a walk and ensuring the pet is tamed and not too excitable walking out the door to avoid any accidents. I would utilize any tools the owner provided such as crates, gates, etc while caring for the pet. For care in my home, I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs, 2 cats. I would slowly introduce them to each other and have gates available along with 3 different floors in my home to separate if need be. I have crates available if needed to give space. I am always home and would never need to leave your pet alone! I have plenty of toys and treats ready to go!

About: I had my dog for 18 years! I took amazing care of my dog and I will take care of your dog the same way. I love to go on long walks and will be sure your pup is well taken care of. I am a caring person that promises to put your dog first. I am easy going and don’t mind dogs on my furniture. I am home throughout the day and night, so your dog won’t be alone. I have taken care of puppies to senior dogs so I feel like I am well trained and will be sure to give your dog the best treatment. My dog was everything to me and I know yours is too, which is why I will make sure your pet is treated like royalty! I work from home so I can be very flexible with my schedule and will ensure I can mirror your routine while caring for your pup! I understand my job is to provide your dog with a safe and loving home while you are away. I will ensure your dog receives the attention to keep them safe, healthy and happy!

“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’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.

About: I'm new to the pet service job, but I've owned two dogs since they were puppies. I have visited cats to clean their boxes and play with them, on behalf of friends that went away. I'm currently unemployed doing part-time jobs, so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and don't mind playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.

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.

I am confident in my abilities to walk all types of dogs and care for all animals! I am a full time petsitter. Any time or any day you need me, I can be available.
