“I truly trust Jess with my dog Cora. She is caring and vigilant in making sure Cora is safe and is having fun when she watches my dog. Not to mention how excited Cora is when Jess comes over to visit”

“Liz watched my 2 girls over Thanksgiving break and was absolutely fantastic! Great communication, pictures a few times a day and the pups LOVED her! She stayed at our place while we were gone and left the house impeccably clean. Cannot say enough great things, if I could give her ten stars I would!”


“Mary has watched our dog multiple times and has been great. The most recent time our dog was just neutered so it was a little stressful leaving him but Mary made sure that he was well cared for. Thanks Mary!”


“Katey was amazing with our babies! She was very communicative and sent pictures during her stay. Booking again for a longer trip! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Rachel did an excellent job of sitting for my 2 very high energy fur babies overnight and 1 kitty. She kept in touch with me and sent me lots of photos which helped to keep my mind at ease since this was my first time leaving them. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”


About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for a full year, this will be my second year. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two bichon cavaliers, and in the past I have had Dobermans and Havaneses. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and will be returning to Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own two! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

“Louise was very responsive and easy to work with. She picked up my request very quickly and arranged for a meet and greet with my dogs. They were instantly in love with her! She was very thorough with information about feeding/bathroom/medicine times and even offered to clip their nails if needed. She provided updates as to when she was there and a left a message at my home in regards to the times they were fed and given medicine. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her in the future.”


“Sheryl is the absolute epitome of what the ideal dog sitter should be. Our dogs love her and she loves them. Our two Frenchies require so much attention and Sheryl is there for it. They are calm yet excited to see her. They never leave her side, lie across and on top of her. She is always snuggling and kissing and laughing about them. Sheryl takes such good care of them including giving medication and eye drops. She constantly communicates with us and sends photos. We love Sheryl so much that I’d rather change my travel plans if possible then use someone else!!”


“Skye pet sat for my dog Chevy in my home for nearly two weeks. He treated Chevy like he was his own pet, with great care and compassion. I was able to enjoy my time away much more knowing Chevy was in good hands. Skye sent me photos, videos and updates all the time. I highly recommend Skye for any of your pet needs!”


“Vic watched my dog when I was away for 2 weeks, she was a fabulous dog sitter and ronan loved her , I would absolutely have her watch my pup again”

“Maggie is great with Maverick! Maverick is very comfortable and happy while we were away. Maggie took great care of our house and kept everything very clean. We have used Maggie for multiple trips and walks and we will definitely continue to!”


“Joy was great with my two large pups. She stayed the night with them and was easy to get into contact with when I had questions or asked for updates!”


“We booked Nicole last minute ahead of holiday travels and she was incredibly eager to help us out with our two kitties! She spent the week at our house sending us multiple updates a day and taking such great care of our babies. We are SO grateful and highly recommend!”


About: I have taken care of senior dogs my whole life. My beloved dogs lived to the ages of 19 and 17 years. I have a special place in my heart for seniors. I am a retired teacher and my hours are very flexible. The first walk of the day for my own dog is usually 8am and her final walk is between 9 and 10 pm. I have a fenced yard but I give my dog three walks a day. My dog is a an eight year old , fourteen pound doxie mix who would welcome the company of another dog since we recently lost her beloved companion.

“Carlee is very reliable. She is always on time and provides great care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog walker!”

“Emilee was great. Very conscientious and took excellent care of our 3 dogs. Was also helpful to ensure the dogs were cared for when my return flight was significantly delayed”



“Carol does an amazing job with dogs! She gives them lots of love and care. She also helps train and potty train them to the best of her abilities. I left my puppy with her and she did not disappoint. She took her on plenty of walks, fed her properly, and kept up with her energetic self. Carol updated me with pictures and videos throughout her sitting so that I was very assured.”

About: I am looking to pet walk and pet sit in your own home. I know how important animals are in a household- they’re apart of the family! Being away from them, whether it be long work hours or a trip away from home, can be heavy on the heart. With me, trust that they’ll be in good company! I make a connection with every animal I meet, and am looking forward to building a relationship with both them and you! I have been looking after friends and family’s pets for years. Everything from chihuahua to german shepard to cats. I have experience with administering medicine and am willing to do so. I am also willing to do slight grooming within my comfort zone (eg. I do not feel comfortable cutting nails because I am not trained). Any specific instructions or details regarding the basics, like feeding or walking, is ok with me. I know your animals get a lot from you, and I am expecting to try and fill those shoes!

“Lisa A has cared for my dog Cici on more than one occasion. She is one of the sweetest most caring people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. She is always prompt, so patient, and definitely fun. I see Cici’s excitement when she arrives. I highly recommend Lisa A”
