I was in a pinch to find someone to care for my two senior cats when I went on vacation and came across Barbara. I liked her and her bubbly personality from the moment I met her. She did an amazing job caring for the cats, including changing the litter boxes and cleaning up after them. I enjoyed getting her daily updates and pictures. I will definitely use Barbara’s services again.

About: I am a furry friend lover and I have taken care of pups of friends and family and have boarded them at my home several times. My house is safe and pup friendly wherein your precious buddy can stay comfortably. I have built a safe fenced yard where I enjoy playing with Nala, our dog. I live in safe neighborhood and walk her or let her out multiple times a day. I have a 4 year old healthy female Cavapoo who is very friendly and enjoys walking and playing with other dogs. I regularly take my buddy Nala (my pet dog) for walks and would love to take yours too!!! Myself and my family members give a short walk to my buddy Nala three times a day and in evenings we take her on long walks in neighbourhood, dog park, sometimes on dog friendly beach. I have pet friendly home with fence yard and have a 4-year old healthy cavapoo who can be great company for your pup!! I live with my husband and 2 girls who love furry friends and help me in taking care of pups and play with them. I will feed the pup as per the schedule and will walk your buddy as needed and/or as per owner's instruction.

About: Family and friends trust me with their pets because I treat every furry friend like my own, full of love, attention, and gentle care that keeps tails wagging and hearts happy. With school starting in two weeks, my schedule is wide open, and I’ll still have plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play safely, and I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for enjoyable walks. Whether at my home or yours, I ensure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of love.

About: I have nurtured and brought up 3 pets (2 dogs and 1 cat) of my own, two of which are alive and well back at my previous residence. I used to work with a professional dog trainer and volunteer at animal shelters during my free time. I have also completed 2 courses in animal psychology and I’m currently considering it as a permanent career path. I have recently moved to Metuchen and have a full time job, but I need some furry friends on the side to make my days better and less boring. I do like routines and would love to have consistent bookings so that I can bond with my furry friend even more. I understand that every parent is different and so is their method of bringing up their pet. I would like to understand their approach and routine and act accordingly so the pet is most comfortable. Since they cannot communicate it is important to continue the routine and look for signs that might indicate they are in pain or discomfort.

About: I have taken care of many dogs over the years especially my own! I have a beautiful Pit Terrier Mix! I love teaching her new tricks and running around the yard with her! As a Dog Mom myself I would give your doggo all of my attention and have so much fun with your fur baby! I am extremely attentive to any need a Fur Parent needs for anything their Fur baby would need. My own Fur baby has a medical condition and is on medication so If needed I am okay with giving medication if need be and I am extremely attentive with timing. I do have 2 jobs but I maintain a great schedule. My second job is only 3 days a week so I would be open to any walking on my off time and on the weekends for walking and dog sitting! My Fur Baby is my sidekick and my bestie! We play all the time and just have so much fun together. But we also love our cuddle time. She does have a medical condition so I am extremely attentive with her, especially when it comes to her medication. But she is my everything and I give her all the love in the world.

About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Hero 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

I highly recommend booking Jessica if you’re looking for someone reliable, caring and trustworthy when caring for your pet(s) while you’re away. She took such great care of our two cats so they didn’t feel alone while we were enjoying our vacation. During each visit, Jess sent pictures of our cats so we knew they were being cared for, so we could see them happy and so we knew they were okay. Again, Jess is awesome at taking care of pets while you’re out of town.

Sherry is like a second parent to our puppies. When our pups were neutered and we needed someone in a pinch to drop by while we were out, we didn't hesitate to ask Sherry. She followed up with us via text and phone to make sure she had all the instructions since they were still recovering from surgery. She gave a lot of good advice, showing her experience with dogs. We knew the puppies were in good hands while we were away. Sherry provided us the peace of mind we needed.

I’ve also had experience with hermit crabs, birds, guinea pigs, and cats growing up! Being that I’m still a student, I have a lot of free time aside from school that I would love to dedicate to pet(s) and families in need of help! I do have a job, but as it is that I am a part-time worker, I still have so much free time to juggle with. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always ensure that Im giving the pet(s) enough attention and love, and make sure they’re tended to for their needs. I always follow feeding times and make sure they’re taken out when needed, and take my time to connect eith the pet(s).

My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

I highly recommend booking Jessica if you’re looking for someone reliable, caring and trustworthy when caring for your pet(s) while you’re away. She took such great care of our two cats so they didn’t feel alone while we were enjoying our vacation. During each visit, Jess sent pictures of our cats so we knew they were being cared for, so we could see them happy and so we knew they were okay. Again, Jess is awesome at taking care of pets while you’re out of town.

I highly recommend Karen. She has watched my dog multiple times, she's great at communicating and following care instructions. She is very knowledgeable about animals, let's me know if my dog is having any issues and even gives advice on what can be done to help him. I'm so glad I finally found someone I can trust with my fur baby.

Sherry is like a second parent to our puppies. When our pups were neutered and we needed someone in a pinch to drop by while we were out, we didn't hesitate to ask Sherry. She followed up with us via text and phone to make sure she had all the instructions since they were still recovering from surgery. She gave a lot of good advice, showing her experience with dogs. We knew the puppies were in good hands while we were away. Sherry provided us the peace of mind we needed.

I've known Leah for over 7 years and she is one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met. She loves talking to people and creating conversation with just about anyone. She has a dog of her own that she loves and takes care of very well. She has had many other dogs throughout her childhood and they all lived long and happy lives under care. I would trust her with any of my pets.

About: I’ve been taking care of everyone’s pets since I was a little girl. Since I am an only child it tends to be more play time than an actual job for me! I currently job hunting so i have full availability. My dream is to become a professional pet groomer and one day open up my own business! My home will always be available to you! I have a fully fenced backyard, with a garage and a overdeck pool. Which not accessed unless the gate is opened. I have plenty of space inside my home as well!

Taylor is a great pet caregiver. She was extremely responsible when it came to the care of my dogs. Going on walks with them, feeding them at the appropriate times, and playing with them throughout the day. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone in need of having their dogs taken care of.
