About: I have always had a love for animals. I had own and dog, and currently have beautiful, amazing, cat. I do not have any formal training. I am just an animal lover in life. My main priorities are the health, wellness, and happiness of your pets. They are family. I’m available on weekends and for late nights during the week. I work a hybrid schedule, and with enough notice, I’m very flexible and happy to work something out. My home is clean, safe, and well-maintained. I’m also happy to provide any supplies or items your pet may need upon request. We can work together

“Eleanor was wonderful with my 3 dogs. She sent lots of pictures. The girls were happy and well taken care of. They got plenty of outdoor time and playtime with Eleanor. Would highly recommend Eleanor”

“Hadija did a great job taking care of our precious Max. She arrived promptly on time and followed all of our instructions. She communicated with us regularly by sending us updates as well as pictures and videos of Max. Max enjoyed playing fetch with her and it seemed like he really took to her. I would certainly recommend Hadija to take care of your pets.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, including overnight stays and extended care during travel. This experience has taught me how to recognize pets’ needs, respect their routines, and respond calmly and responsibly in different situations. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and close attention to detail. I current work from home and my wife also stay home. I have flexible availability that allows me to dedicate meaningful, quality time to the pets in my care. I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your pet needs companionship during the workday, consistent routines, or extra attention, I make sure they are never rushed and always feel prioritized. I value reliability and clear communication, so you can feel confident your pet is in good I have fence back yard and dog can run freely in the backyard . And we also allow pets to sleeping on sofa and beds.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog Sugar since I was 12 years old, feeding him, walking him, cleaning his crate, and now changing his diaper in his older age. I am very responsible and caring when looking after dogs. After Sugar broke his neck and needed surgery, I helped him eat and take his medicine, as well as holding him in my arms and comforting him. I now take care of two other dogs as well, Rocky and Sparky. When I’m home, I walk Rocky every morning, make sure the dogs are eating and drinking, give them cuddles, and play with them. Also, 2 years ago, I dog sat for two dogs, one of them being an older dog named Lucky that is blind, partially deaf, and diabetic. I made sure to follow all the instructions given on taking care of them and administered Lucky’s insulin shots daily. As I was dog sitting, Lucky had a serious health scare and needed to go to the vet. I was responsible for taking care of him throughout the process, getting in contact with family members, and ensuring that he got the care he needed to recover. Thankfully Lucky is ok, and his family is very grateful to me for the care I provided him while they were away. I am a college student in New Brunswick, so my availability varies on the weekdays, but I have open availability on the weekends. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am available after 5:30 PM. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am available after 3:30 PM I care for pets by following the instructions given to me by their owners and facilitating a caring and welcoming environment. The pets’ well-being is my top priority and I will ensure that they are properly taken care of.

“Many thanks to Toni for taking such excellent care of our pups! She was attentive to their needs and very careful with them, making sure to take into account their idiosyncracies! We felt very grateful that Toni spent the weekend with the "girls"! Thank you!”

About: I grew up taking care of neighborhood strays in India. My favorite story to tell is how I had multiple pet squirrels in India! Ask me to show you photos :) I have a lot of love for both dogs and cats, and because I can't bring a pet into my family right now, this is how I'm choosing to share it! I'm currently only working gigs as I figure out my next step forward, so I'm very frequently available and open to last minute requests! It's all an adventure and I get to do what I love. I have good experience with large dogs to ensure they don't run off or get into fights. I pet sit for friends often because I'm currently between jobs, so I have a lot of experience with a large variety of dogs (and one tabby!)

About: I am a responsible dog mom and caretaker, with 10+ years of dog sitting/training/care experience! I was the sole caretaker of my childhood dog from ages 10-16 when she passed away. I trained, groomed, and played with her throughout her life, and my experience with her and family dogs gives me the ability to work with senior dogs and the many troubles they may face in that stage of life. Additionally, I have puppy experience, as I have and will continue to love, nurture, train, and meet the needs of my precious poodle, Gucio, since he was 8 weeks old. My experience does not end with my own dogs, as I’ve dog sat for friends who have dogs with medical conditions (like seizure and anxiety disorders), for extended periods of time while they were on vacation, I’ve assisted in grooming dogs so I am familiar with a wide range of temperaments. In my care, your dog will not only receive the love, attention, and care that they would receive from their own family, but their personal needs, interests, and accommodations will be met. Not all dogs are the same! I am an animal lover in all respects, so rest assured that your dog will make a new friend out of me:) I ensure born safety and fun in my walking and caretaking of dogs, and treat all dogs as I would my very own. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m currently in college part time, with many blocks of free time during the week to take care of dogs. And even more so, I am on winter break until 01/19, so my schedule is even more free until then. I am familiar with working with dogs in both fenced/un-fenced yards, as well as apartments, and can accommodate any living situation. I will provide frequent updates to pet parents for your peace of mind, because I definitely know what it’s like to be sending your dog to a new person for the first time, and being nervous about how they’re doing. Your pet’s comfortability, safety, and security is my top priority!

“Viv is the very best of the best. She far surpassed my expectations and offered incredible service and expertise while caring for Blueberry and our home. Her knowledge and experience of caring for pets is outstanding. Viv shared in depth everything I needed to know about my time away from my dog and home daily. I am so thankful I have found Viv!!”

“I hired Laura for the first time 10 days ago based on her reviews on the spur of the moment to house and dogsit for four days/nights. I left detailed instructions and received pics of my pooch every day. No problems, no questions, smooth as silk. Happy dog. House in order. What could be better. A very very nice, dog- loving person.”

“Thanks!”

About: I have had a dog for ten years and I am very familiar with dog body language and signals. I have taken care of dogs in Egypt and fed strays. I am a college student from Monday to-Thurs, so I have all the time on the weekend for pet care. During the weekdays I am free almost always after 4pm, except for thursdays. I can crate dogs if needed. For walks I will keep them on leash away from other dogs, unless given permission from you and other dog owner.

“If I were able to give Deni ten stars I would!!! Really an incredible caretaker. Full of compassion, kindness and exuded pure confidence when handling my sick fur baby. Kept up with me which isn’t the easiest to do (thank you Deni!!!). I give they a lot of credit. We will be using they for sure for hopefully upcoming future visits. We are all super lucky to have crossed paths :)) A total blessing to say the least. Merry Christmas to all of us because we have just gotten the ultimate gift ????????”

About: I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I’m great at reading their needs and keeping them comfortable, happy, and safe. I have no children and I currently work from home full time so I can decently flexible to meet your and your fur baby’s needs. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours.

About: I have been taking care of animals since a young age. I grew up around dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, and bunnies. I currently have two cats of my own that I adore! I am a current graduate student at Rutgers University and also work part time. With having only night classes, I am able to care for pets as needed during the day and can assist in the evening. I have two cats at home that require a lot of attention and cuddles, so I am used to those that need a little extra love!

“I think my dog is always just a little upset when he sees me, rather than Jennifer, walk in the door. He is always a happy boy when she stays.”

About: I've had animals my entire life and have a lot of experience with tough walkers, training puppies, and all types of cats. I am reliable, gentle, and love animals. I'm currently on break from the semester and looking for people with pets that need help over the holidays :-) I grew up with a pitbull, currently have a crazy Labrador puppy, and I have had 3 cats. I'm great with all animals and have a very free schedule, whatever works for you works for me. I live with my family and we have pets of our own so for our own convenience and lack of space I don't offer pet care in my own home. I have a car though and am happy to come to you to provide potty breaks, feeding, walking, etc.

“Awesome! Lily was great. When she met our dog and cat, they immediately took to her. We had her stay at our house for four nights, take care of our pets, and take in the mail. I recommend her very highly.”
