Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant/Technician and have my Animal CPR certificate. I have worked in both general practice and emergency and are ready for all your animals needs. I am able to give insulin to diabetics and fluids to those with kidney disease. Over the years I have cared for all my family's and friends pets for weeks at a time. With every pet having the best experience and given the utmost care. I currently work part time at a restaurant a few nights a week and weekend nights. It is only for a few hours a day and I would never be later than 10pm. This leaves plenty of time to play, feed, and walk your pets! I can take them out into the yard for hours of play or I would be willing to take them to the dog park too! I am available early in the morning so if your pet is on any medication I can be there to give it to them. I am unable to offer boarding to my place of residence unless it was only for a day. I have a fenced in yard with a pool but cannot do overnight boarding. I am up early in the morning to feed breakfast to your pet and take them for their first walk/outside time. Depending on the energy level of your pet we can have a couple hours of play time. I would be there for lunch and dinner and one more walk before bedtime.

About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, with two chocolate labs, a dozen barn cats, and various other farm animals! I also ran a small pet-sitting business in my neighborhood when I was a young teen. I absolutely adore animals, and caring for them has been second nature to me since I was young. I have a wide range of experience from fiesty barn animals to cuddly couch potatoes. I typically work 3-4 days at the end of the week, which leaves Monday through Wednesday (Sometimes Thursday!) completely open. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and drop ins. I can even accommodate walks and drop ins on the days I do work, depending on my schedule. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and keep routines as consistent as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or playtime. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always move slowly with shy animals and give lots of love to the social ones! If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet spaces for rest. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like part of the family, whether they’re here for a visit or I’m looking after them in their own home.

About: I'm Rai (he/him)! I am a proud cat dad to Luca -- he is my whole world. I will treat your pets like my own, send you picture updates, play with them, sing them little songs, and accommodate their needs! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends & family and would love to be your go-to person as well :) I'm currently working part-time and freelancing, so my schedule is flexible! I typically have a lot of availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, or playtime. I respect your home and your pet’s routines, including any rules about where they’re allowed to be. I’ve got experience with my own cat, Luca, who used to love jumping on tables—so I understand how to gently reinforce boundaries and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes—from tiny dachshunds to big shepherds—so I’m confident caring for pups with all kinds of personalities. As an avid hiker, I love staying active and always bring a four-legged friend along for the adventure. Whether it’s a slow stroll or a high-energy outing, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and exercised. 🐶⛰️ I work full time but start early, so I’m free by mid-afternoon—and I’d love to spend that time working with dogs. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and have a natural comfort around them. Whether it’s a quick walk or some extra playtime, I’ll make sure your pup is well cared for and happy! When caring for someone else’s dog, I’m always cautious and respectful—because I know I’m being trusted with a very important part of their life. I never take that lightly. I use a bright, high-visibility leash and always keep a secure handheld grip to ensure your dog’s safety. I stay fully present on every walk or home visit, constantly observing your dog’s behavior to make sure they’re comfortable, not overwhelmed, and enjoying their time. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority.

About: With a large yard and work from home schedule I am able to give any pet the attention and care they require. I have had pets, mainly dogs for my entire life and enjoy spending my time with them. I have a corgi that needs a lot of attention since I am home all the time I am able to provide him with the best care. I give my dog daily walks, occasional treats, on time meals and a comfortable schedule that works for me and my dog. I make sure to give my dog plenty of attention, care and love which all dogs require. I also do not believe in putting dogs in cages or keeping them locked up in rooms or anywhere by themselves.

About: I currently own a cat, 2 dogs, and a reptile. Grew up with 3 dogs from 15 to 120lbs along with a cat, hamsters, 6 chinchillas, and at one point a rabbit. I have taken care of friends and families dogs and cats of all ages and sizes along with anything from fish to reptiles. Many of the things needed to be done was general check ins to walk, feed, play, overall mess cleanup of toys or accidents, cage cleaning, and night stays if needed. I have also volunteered at many shelters which consisted of dog walking, kennel cleanings, litter box scooping, and overall playtime. I'm used to bathing when needed and have a great amount of knowledge in many animals as I was also a manager for awhile at a pet store. I'm currently a stay at home mom who only works 2 set nights a week for 4.5 hours. I generally am up between 6am and 7am and don't go to bed until around 11pm. If I'm not home playing with my kids or pets I'm just tidying around the house or cleaning. I am almost always local to the area but if for any reason I'm not I always know ahead of time. After volunteering at shelters and having many animals of my own I have learned that patience is key. When meeting a new animal who may be anxious or scared, sitting quietly with them for awhile and allowing them to come to you on their own terms works the best. Forcing an animal to adjust to a human is not in anyway okay and only makes things harder for them to trust a human. Making sure an animal has a properly secured and adjusted harness or collar before going out is also a big thing I have always checked incase the animal is an escape artist. Before allowing a dog to go outside making sure gates are secured as you never know when one may be unlatched for any reason. When going on walks I am always aware of my surrounding for cars, people, other animals to keep all safe. If an animal is hypersensitive or reactive knowing ahead of time allows me to adjust accordingly.

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was three years old. I've always loved them! I've worked at a dog boarding kennel for over a year now and I love it! Before that, I worked at a farm with lots of different animals and I've watched/walked dogs on the side for a long time now. I also have experience with cats as well! I'd love to meet your four-legged friends and family! I work part-time at a dog boarding kennel and my hours are different sometimes. I'm either working 7am - 12:30pm OR 3pm - 7pm. I usually work the afternoon shift (3 - 7). Since I have worked with animals a lot, especially dogs, I definitely consider myself pretty educated. Like I said, I do not offer boarding in my own home but I am more than happy to come to yours and offer my services! If you have any questions about anything, always feel free to contact me! :)

About: Animals are my heart! I believe in giving them one on one attention while they're away from their families. Animals feel stress and anxiety and I like to make the boarding experience a seamless one. I have been caring & working with dogs for many years. I make my own schedule and work from home. I have the time to care for your pet one on one and give them the attention they deserve. I love taking the animals for walks and getting them out in nature if permitted. I have a nice yard for them to sunbathe and get fresh air. If you require wee wee pads, I can accommodate that as well. Your Dog is welcome to sleep In the bed with me, if parents allow that. I treat all of my dogs like they’re my own and like they are family. 💓 Let's schedule a meet and greet and get your boarding process seamlessly started!

About: I have grown up with all sorts of animals throughout my life, from dogs and cats to chickens, horses, goats and sheep! I am also a part-time Farm hand! The thing about being a farm hand is it teaches you animal safety skills, patience and hard work. I will treat your animals like my own! For my weekly routine, I change my schedule around to fit your animals needs. I am typically always around and willing to drop what I am doing to take care of those who can’t speak for themselves! Whether it’s my home or my client’s home, I treat wherever I am with respect and honor. Animals can easily feel what type of mood you’re in so it is very important to be positive and enthusiastic at all times.

I'm also happy to discuss light housekeeping and chores on a case by case basis.

My cat, Gigi, is my whole entire world. Best friend. I’m obsessed with her. The absolute love of my life. She is also 100% the spawn of satan. Child locks on all my cabinets. Knows how to unzip backpacks. Knocks over plants like someone’s paying her to do it. Screams and pounces when hungry. Once she ate a literal sponge. Tl;dr, my cat causes chaos wherever she goes, to the detriment of herself and others, and for this reason I am understandably nervous about leaving her with anyone, ever. But Raisa has watched her before (and is about to watch her again!) and everyone was not only alive, but happy at the end of it! I received plenty of kitty pictures throughout the week and came back to a house not on fire + a very cheerful Gigi, love-headbutting Raisa. If she can take care of my hellchild and leave all parties cheerful and unscathed, she’ll be a wonderful temporary pet parent to any fur-baby.

About: Animals are my heart! I believe in giving them one on one attention while they're away from their families. Animals feel stress and anxiety and I like to make the boarding experience a seamless one. I have been caring & working with dogs for many years. I make my own schedule and work from home. I have the time to care for your pet one on one and give them the attention they deserve. I love taking the animals for walks and getting them out in nature if permitted. I have a nice yard for them to sunbathe and get fresh air. If you require wee wee pads, I can accommodate that as well. Your Dog is welcome to sleep In the bed with me, if parents allow that. I treat all of my dogs like they’re my own and like they are family. 💓 Let's schedule a meet and greet and get your boarding process seamlessly started!

Brooke is the epitome of what a pet caregiver should be. From dogs to draft horses, pigs to goats, Brooke has cared for every animal I can think of and has gone above and beyond for them all. Off the top of my head, Brooke has rescued a lot of dogs, gave an injured cat from the side of the road a home, and has rushed a critical goat to the vet. She really cares for every animal she comes into contact with, and always wants what’s best for any animal, any breed.

I have used Kaitlin several times over the last year. She has provided my pup with amazing care and attention while I was away. She always arrived promptly at the scheduled times and was even flexible enough to take a job on short notice. If you live in Sussex County or the surrounding areas Kait should be your go to for all of your pet sitting needs.

About: I have years of animal experience! I am a veterinary technician and kennel attendant at an animal shelter in North Jersey when I am back from school. While working at the shelter I am responsible for the health and care of about 20 dogs and 30 cats! I have worked with newborn puppies/kittens, middle aged, and senior animals. I have a soft spot for behaviorally challenged animals and have experience handling them. I currently am a veterinary technician at an animal hospital. I know the signs I have to look for in case there is a medical emergency and am very experienced with medicating animals. My patients, experience, and knowledge will make your time away from your fur baby stress-free! I treat all the animals in my care like my own! I currently work part-time at the animal hospital and am a student at Rutgers University. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am willing to work with you! I cannot care for pets in my own home. I will take care of your pet in your home exactly how you need/want me to!
