About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, now only working part time. I am available for your pet care needs early morning, early afternoon, & evenings. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Kimberly did a great job caring for our dog while we were at work. It was our first time having someone come to the house and walk our dog. She made us feel very comfortable that our dog was going to be well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: When I was a kid I convinced my mom to let us keep the stray cat that kept coming around, and now, many years later, my family has twice as many animals as people. I've worked in animal rescue, done trap-neuter-release, cared for a colony of feral cats for a decade, and fostered more kittens and adult cats than I can count. I must say hello to ever dog I meet from Teacup Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I created my own hiking group so walking is something I greatly enjoy, and walking with a dog is even better. I can take care of your dogs at your home, walk them in your neighborhood, or I have a comfortable room in my house where they can stay as long as it isn't already occupied by a litter of kittens. Cats are my first love but dogs are a very close second. I am a nature and wildlife photographer so I have gotten to know, to one degree or the other, all of the animals around my home, which, I believe, helps to make me comfortable with all types of pets. I also offer pet portraits! I have experience with all of the usual pets, plus a few unusual ones too. I will take good care of your dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small animals and even tarantulas or insects. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I will let you know how the visits are going. Your pets will be safe and well cared for with me. I have a regular part time job with a flexible schedule so can be available just about anytime. Let me know what you need and we can work it out. Home visits run about a 1/2 an hour and include, depending upon your pet, a walk, poop scoop, litter box cleaning, feeding, watering and treat dispensing, and pats and cuddles. For boaring I have a lovely room at the back of the house with the windows on 3 sides and cat love hanging out in there and watching the birds. I live on a lake and I will walk your dog along it at least 3 times a day, but usually more. If your dog requires crating that's fine and if they don't that's fine too.
About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.
About: I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs ever since I was 14 years old! I have a 17 year old pitbull, 3 cats, and a foster cat I care and love for at home!! I would love to spend time taking care of your pets!! Feel free to contact me about scheduling preferences and I'll do my best to find time for your pets! I am very flexible and offer same day bookings My home will not be available for pet sitting. However, I'd be happy to visit your home or preferred location to care and look after your pets.
“Emily was great with Denver and stayed in contact with me through his visits. I was very appreciative that she was willing to come in short notice. Will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter! I have also had 2 German shepherds and 2 cats growing up. I currently work part time, and I don’t work every day. I can easily work around my work schedule to help out with your pups! I will care for your pet in your home. That would be the best for me and your pet! My home is not suitable for pets at the moment.
“Very nice couple. We met ahead of time in a meet n greet. I explained my dogs issues. The two of them were very understanding and patient. I would definitely recommend them.”

About: I had an incredible opportunity to foster dogs and cats over a 4 year period and learned all animals need patience and kindness to be healthy! Some of those animals had disabilities and needed special care like medications or treatments as well. I currently work in office Tuesday - Thursday, 9:30 - 5:30. House sitting can be very flexible through out the week and on weekends as well. I currently have a pet free home, so your pet will be my only priority. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do live in a community that has sidewalks and plenty of grass for dog walking.
“Ashley was wonderful and very considerate of all my dog’s needs. She was very easy to communicate with and responded right away, and was amenable to our schedule for meeting. I really appreciated how good she was with our dog, and her expertise as a vet tech really showed. Thank you, Ashley! We definitely hope to use her services again.”
About: I have dogs since I was a little girl . They are family to me. I have walked my friends and neighbors in the past. Your dog will be like another family member to me. I just love them to pieces. I can also come to your home to let them plus walk them as well . I am still working full time but I am available if needed on the weekends to walk your pet. Once I retire in December I will be available during the week to walk them. I am also available to feed your cats as well as I can also care for a puppy in my home while you are away .
