Taking care of animals brings me so much joy. Theres really nothing like the love of a pet. I am meticulously clean, I am very detail oriented and treat the dogs I care for as if they were my own. I have a few clients I house sit for and will consider on a case-by-case basis if I feel I am the right fit for you and your pet. Thank you! I have a flexible schedule, especially during weekday hours. I am usually available from 9-3 with some weekend availability if needed. Please message for more details. I am only available for in home pet sitting on a case by case basis. I had a long career working with children who have developmental disabilities so I am extremely caring, dedicated, reliable and attention focused.

“Deanna is always extremely responsive, attentive, and an absolute delight. She’s our go to for when we are away and need Loki our dog to be taken care of. Extremely flexible and we highly recommend. Thank you, Deanna!!”



“Eilleen is AMAZING!!! Benji is our little rescue cutie! But he has days where he is a bit unpredictable- He is a cuddle bug on his own terms, can be moody and antisocial. As his "fun" aunt (I'm treat and playtime central haha) you would think he would jump for joy at the chance to take a walk with me but, that isn't the case :( He is very particular about who walks him and only let's his dad walk him. So on days dad is working overtime, I stress about how I will convince Benji to go outside. One Sunday he refused to go out they entire day, not one budge and just hid under the table. Dad was working and I was stressing! Well, Eilleen to the rescue! Upon arrival Benji greeted her at the door, like they were forever friends, hopping, tail wagging and cuddles! In amazement I watch Eilleen put kn his leash with out any hesitation from Benji and in a matter of minutes they were off on their walk together! I am so amazed by the instant connection they have and Eilleens impressive job of caring for him. We are so very thankful!! Thank you Eilleen!!!!!!! You are truly the BEST!!”


“Joseph was great and extremely communicative — he was very thoughtful with our older dog Cleo and took great care of her. He provided thorough updates and lots of photos which was great :)”


“Rhea and Michael should be the first person booked in the Northern NJ area. We forgot to leave the device to get into the house today and they stuck around while I came home to let them in. Our previous dog walker from rover would have said they walked the dog and left. They go above and beyond every time. Simply the best!!!!!!”


“Morgan is reliable and great with our pup Jake.he looks forward to her visits, and we can rest assured he is in good hands. We have even asked for last minute walks at,odd times, and she has been able to be flexible and help us out. I highly recommend Morgan!”


About: I have 7 years of pet experience, aside from owning pets my entire life. i regularly took care of my neighbors 6 dogs (5 small, 1 medium) while she would go on work trips or vacation.

I am a huge animal lover and will make any of the necessary accommodations for your pet! I am a college student who has a lot of free time to spend with your furry friend. When i’m not at school i am usually spending time with my 2 dogs, taking them on walks, hikes, swimming, etc. I get so much gratification from seeing a happy pet! I am a college student who works part time who has plenty of spare time to walk/babysit dogs. i am a huge animal lover and it always brings me so much joy to see a happy pet! Depending on what the owner tells me, i will either let the dog into the backyard or walk them, and follow any feeding/grooming instructions they give me.

About: I am fully dedicated to providing the best care to ensure dogs are happy and healthy! My family has owned dogs my whole life. I have been a dog owner of my own for the past 5 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, two chihuahua mixes, who are my top priority at all times. I give my all into their care, making sure they always have what they need, whether that be walks, treats or extra belly rubs! I will make sure the same effort goes into my care for your pet(s)! I am currently a teacher, but during the summer my availability is more flexible. With enough notice, I am available for boarding on the weekends, or throughout the week and available for walks or drop-ins at your convenience any day of the week. During the week and on the weekends, I am available at any hour. Happy to work with your schedule! I have two friendly fur babies at home to keep your pet company. I walk my dogs daily whether around the block or at the park near my house that always has room for a plus one! My place is also full of toys that are ready for sharing! I can also crate if needed. I am comfortable giving any medications if necessary as well. Flexible with any special requests also.

“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”

About: About a year ago, I lost my childhood dog, Chloe, who I had the honor to spend 16 beautiful years with. She was quite frankly the center of my world and I’m so grateful I got to care for her from puppyhood into her senior-years. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have also looked after dogs of family and friends, so I am experienced in caring for dogs of different sizes and ages, as well as more than one at a time. I enjoy spending time outside for play and walks, as well as snuggling indoors and playing with toys. I currently work a hybrid job full-time, so spend most of the week at home with ample time to spend with new furry friends. I look forward to meeting you :) I currently work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to be home most of the week. This allows me plenty of time to take breaks for play, feeding, walks, and anything else the pup might need. I care for every pet as I would my own. I understand the level of trust that is needed to allow someone to care for your own loved one(s), and I don’t take it lightly. Every pet’s needs are tended to with care and they are given lots of love and attention, with their safety and comfortability being my number one priority.

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. There was always a dog in my home when I was a child. Later on, in my own home had raised two dogs and a cat from their earliest days. My sweet Golden Retriever, Milo, was with me and my kids since he was 10 weeks old. He was amazing! Sadly after a year of being sick and fighting a good fight, it became too much for him. My kids & I said goodbye to him with many tears and such a heaviness in our hearts. It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog. I'm home during the day which allows me to have the time to devote to your dogs.i also have two teenage kids who are able to walk and play with him. I live on a quiet dead end street with hardly any cars coming through. I have a nice sized yard which is great for playing and taking in the suns rays(my dog would love to just roll his body over in the grass...lol). So I would being taking care of your precious baby boy/girl as if he/she was my own! I also will only take care of one dog at a time... so YOUR dog will have ALL my attention! I am a very easy going down to earth person.... I'd love to chat with you about your needs and concerns for your dog. Please let me know what I can do to help you ... Talk to you soon! Kathy
