About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years.

“Maria did a great job taking care of our 9 year old Great Dane. We loved having her walk our old lady! Maria gave us the peace of mind we needed on our weekend getaway! Will re-book and recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Jocelyn! Based in McGinley Square, Jersey City, I offer flexible pet care with experience handling all kinds of personalities, from bouncy pups to chill cats. My own toy poodle, Honey, is friendly but prefers her personal space, and my two cats are wonderfully independent. I’ve cared for pets big and small, energetic or easygoing, and always incredibly lovable. As a fourth-year neuropsychology student, I spend most of my time studying at home and am only out a few hours a day for class or my internship. I tend to read my textbooks aloud while studying, and every fur baby I’ve looked after seems to enjoy a mini lecture on neural systems! 🧠🐾 Whether your pet wants cuddles, quiet company, or a walking buddy with treats in her pocket, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 My social life mostly involves textbooks and tail wags! I spend a lot of time at home studying or relaxing, which makes pet care an easy and enjoyable part of my routine. I like to work with each owner to find what schedule and style of care fit best for their pet’s needs. You can trust that your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In My Home: Your pet will have a cozy, safe space where they can relax comfortably, especially if they prefer quiet or personal space. I provide structured routines with regular feeding, walks, and playtimes, always keeping an eye on their comfort and stress levels. Pets are allowed on the furniture. If you'd like your dog to be crated, please provide your own crate. In Clients’ Homes: I ensure each visit feels familiar and comforting for your pet, sticking to their routine as much as possible. I refresh food, water, and any bedding as needed, and provide companionship and plenty of play. My focus is on creating a seamless transition so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away.

“Alex and Kate have been amazing! I’m new to Jersey City and finding a dog walker for my pups was at the top of my to do list when I got here. Alex and Kate have been so great! They took time to get to know my dogs at a meet and greet and were so patient with my timid guy. They have sent me pictures and let me know how the walks are going. They have also had great communication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker!!”

About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a lover of all animals and am hoping to add your furry family member to the list of pets that I’ve had the honor of meeting. I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and took this one step further by adopting my own kitty, Leo, after moving out of my parents house. He is basically my child and my philosophy with pet sitting is to provide the same care to your pet as I would for him. I have further experience with dogs as during college, I spent three years as a club member for a club that raised service dogs in training. My role in this club was being a sitter, meaning I would watch the pups (ranging from 10 weeks to 2 years old) while their raisers were away. I would spend this time practicing commands with them, walking them or taking them on playdates with other pups in the programs, or snuggle with them at my apartment. These times were some of my best memories of college. I also still help my parents when I go home to visit with my childhood dog, Charlotte. She is 15 years old, partially blind and deaf, and requires multiple oral medications daily as well as numerous potty breaks. I have additional oral/eye/ear medication experience as well as general medical knowledge through my day job as a pediatric nurse. Another cool fact is that during college, I briefly volunteered at a wild life refugee and got experience with horses, raccoons, deer, and other cool animals. Like I said- I’m a lover of all animals. I am hoping to offer my services as a way to be around more animals while respecting my cats’ wishes to not have another in the house. If you think I may be a good fit for taking care of your furry family member, please feel free to reach out. I would love to provide any additional details needed :) I will be working full time as a nurse but given that I only work 3 days a week I will have a lot of availability. The days I work do change each week but I will know in advance what days I will be working. I will do my best to earn an animal’s trust in a way that makes them comfortable, so that they feel safe in their own environment and trust me while I’m around. Whether that means an animal warms up to me right away or needs awhile along with some space before I come close to them, I can adapt to either scenario. I would also like to know about any general hiding places the animal may have when they get anxious so that if I am having trouble finding them, I know where to look. This would all be stuff I would like to communicate about with the owner ahead of time so I feel confident while sitting for their pet.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and almost always have had a cat, so I love them both ❤️ I have two 75lb pitbull babies, so I can also take care of the big dogs if you need! We can go on sniff walks, go to the dog park or if your dog likes space from other dogs, I can do that too. Whatever you and your pets prefer I’m happy to help! I’m in between jobs at the moment, so my availability is very open. I’m free any weekday and the weekends are pretty flexible! I’m happy to make home visits! Whatever the routine is for your animals, I’ll be sure to keep it up while you’re away
“Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.”

Isaac is the best!! We just moved to JC from AZ and desperately needed a last minute dog walk! He responded and came to meet my Bowie within an hour of messaging, it was incredible! Today he walked Bowie and took numerous pictures, fed him and administered his meds. I can’t wait to book again this truly saved me!

We love having Talita walk our dog Pistachio! She is so attentive, friendly, and always follows our instructions for Pistachio. She sends great updates and the cutest photos. We can always rely on Talita to be punctual and take amazing care of our puppy! Could not recommend Talita more. She’s the best!!!

Ana from the beginning was quick and responsive and willing to meet. She was attentive to asking all the right questions that made me feel more at ease in making my decision. She cared for my dog Zorro while my husband & I traveled, and updated me with pictures and questions along the way! Even though my two cats were not part of her duties, she was nice enough to update me on them. I plan on booking with Ana come further travels! Thank you once again.

We had a great experience with Maryna as our dog walker! She was always prompt, left thoughtful and detailed notes after each visit, and made sure Gordy got a full walk even in the rain. She also took the extra time to refill his food and water whenever needed, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being away and knowing Gordy was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!
