About: I have been pet sitting since I was in 6th grade, and have been trusted to care for the animals of many families. I have the most experience with cat sitting - both indoor and outdoor - but have taken care of dogs many times as well as had a dog of my own for four years! I am adaptable to any needs your pet might have, as I was used to allergies, injury care, and high excitability with my own family dog. I have loved animals all my life and would love to provide any care possible, for any type of pet! I am a college student on break who currently does not have a job, so my days are very available for pet care! I have reliable transportation and will be able to do multiple visits per day. I provide attentive pet care, and follow any and all instructions very well so your pet can have a great time while you are away! I always make time to stay with your pet for some extra time past just being fed or walked, so that they get all the attention they need.

About: I love animals! I’ve been a dog mom for 13 years, I’ve fostered over 25 dogs, & have experience cat sitting as well. I’m based in Cranford and grew up in Westfield so very familiar with the area. Animals are my happy place and I love babying and caring for them. As such, I’d like to offer my services to keep your pets happy with cuddles, playtime, and/or exercise while you’re away from them. I have a genuine connection with animals & would love to help them feel less lonely while you’re away. In addition, I can provide a quick dog massage towards the end of my stay if you think your pet would enjoy it! I’ve experienced all different energy levels and weight up to 80 pounds. I provide excellent service through my communication, following direction, timeliness, and genuine care of animals. I’m available on weekends any time. On weekdays, I’m able to drop in 5:30pm and after during weekdays. If you’re close to me, I can drop by early morning and/or lunch time. From being a foster mom to homeless dogs, I’m very cognizant of the safety of animals. I know dogs especially can be easily spooked so I ensure that I have a firm grip on the leash with it wrapped once around my wrist. My dog is a strong pitbull so I feel comfortable handling most large strong dogs. While I’m caring for pets, I talk to them like they’re babies! I’m very much guilty of having a baby voice, but I feel the animals love and respond to it!

About: My name is Christine and I've been working in pet care- dog walking, pet/house sitting and even dog grooming for 5+ years. I worked as a dog washer at In and Out Grooming in Garwood and am an avid dog walker. I've been a dog owner, and find pet care to be the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I love all breeds, and though I am small in stature I love walking big dogs! I can provide nail clippings and also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits. I have a very flexible schedule, outside of pet care I am pursuing a career in theater. Extremely flexible schedule! I have free daytime hours, while working on a theater schedule. Great for daytime walks and drop ins. Weekends available, don't hesitate to request! I have house sitting experience to keep your pets company while you're away! I've worked with many breeds and personalities of pet in the place they are most comfortable, happy to just spend time with them and adapt to their routines. I also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits.

About: I have grown up my whole life with Shih Tzu’s. My family absolutely loves animals and we have a 10-year-old Shih Tzu named Bailey. I have helped with him as a puppy to now. I currently live in an apartment that does not allow pets, but would love to work with people who have pets and help them out! I work a remote job as a recruiter so I’m able to make my own schedule with interviews. If I know a little bit in advance, I can work around my schedule to walk your pup! I currently don’t live with Bailey but when I did, we were with him 24/7 as I work from home. I play with him feed him and walk him!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and caretaker. I had a dog by my side for 16 wonderful years growing up, and now I’m the proud owner of a playful 5-year-old Labradoodle who keeps me active and always smiling! Whether your pup loves long walks, quick potty breaks, or just some extra company during the day, I’m here to help. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I treat every dog like my own—with care, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your needs. Let me know how I can support you and your dog—I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a lot of flexibility in the summer as a teacher, which gives me availability during the day and on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already walk and care for my own dog daily. Whether it’s mid-day walks, evening check-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to fit your pet’s needs into my schedule. I create a safe and calm environment where dogs can feel right at home. I follow any feeding, crate, or medication instructions you provide and always keep communication open for updates and peace of mind.

About: have extensive hands-on pet care experience that ranges from managing medical needs to caring for a large and diverse group of animals. In the past, I took care of an epileptic German Shepherd, which required close attention to medication schedules, monitoring for seizures, and providing a calm, stable environment. Currently, I care for an Australian Shepherd, two cats, five small dogs, a husky, and a fish which has given me experience managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and daily routines across multiple species. This includes feeding, grooming, exercising high-energy dogs, maintaining clean and safe living spaces, and ensuring each animal receives proper attention and care. I currently work at an accounting firm 7am-3pm during the week, but my hours are very flexible and I am always around on the weekends! With so many different animals (dogs, cats, chickens, and even a fish), I’ve gotten used to balancing different needs at once, whether that’s taking the dogs out for walks and playtime, feeding everyone on their schedules, or just checking in to make sure they’re doing okay. I’m also pretty attentive to behavior changes, especially since I’ve cared for a dog with epilepsy before and know how important it is to stay observant. I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so the pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I follow instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or medication, and I make sure the pet gets plenty of attention and reassurance while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I usually provide updates so owners feel at ease knowing everything is going smoothly.
