“Avital is great. My dog loves spending time with Avital and it puts my mind at ease! Avital is a fantastic communicator and always keeps me posted on how things are going! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was great and took really good care of Olive while I was away. She listened to all of my instructions and was super communicative. She sent pictures and updates every couple of hours and answered all of my messages and questions. Would 100% recommend :)”
About: I don’t have dogs or cats myself but I do have bunnies that I feed and take care of. My cousins have dogs and I treat them like my own, frequently going on walks with the two of them. I'm a college student who loves pets and being active!! I'm available for walks in the morning and afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a quiet area with lots of side streets. The other dogs in the neighborhood are also very friendly.
“Sherrylee went above and beyond with our three month old rescue puppy. Can’t thank her enough for her professionalism, effectiveness, kindness and patience. Highly recommend this wonderful caregiver.”
“Kayla was fantastic for watching my 2 pups and kitties while away. She was super receptive to their little quirks (including walking them outside on leashes in the yard during the rain because they think they’re sugar and going to melt, and would not go out!). I would definitely recommend using Kayla and plan on booking her again when she is available.”
“Kayla watched our two pups this past weekend and did a fantastic job. She sent pics throughout the visit and kept us updated on how they were doing. You could tell they felt right at home with her! Highly recommend for any of your sitting needs!”
About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.
“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of Beau. She sent frequent updates and photos so we knew that he was doing well. She was attentive to all of the instructions we left. We could tell Brooke did an amazing job watching Beau and that he was really happy! He was well taken care of, as was our house. We would absolutely recommend Brooke!”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 18 years old. I’m experienced in giving medications to dogs who need it. I take them on walks during the day (if that’s something they are used to) and give them lots of attention. My work schedule is very flexible. Making it easy to stay with pets for longer periods of time during the day. With only some evening events for work, pets get the most attention while sitting. I have been watching pets at their own home, I go above and beyond with love while their parent is away. I make sure the get all the attention they miss while their parents are away.
“I can't recommend Kristin enough! She took incredible care of Buzz, while I was away on such short notice. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to make buzz feel comfortable and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She definitely became my dog's new best friend!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life from before I could remember to now. I’ve had special needs dogs, rescues, and pure breeds who require a little extra love. I’ve cared for senior dogs ( who are blind and deaf) and trained puppies successfully. Over all, I adore dogs of all kinds, shapes, and sizes! I can’t wait to adventure with your pup! I am an elementary school teacher. I am very affectionate and attentive when it comes to animals. I would love to walk and cuddle your pup all summer long! I have two very friendly dogs and a husband who adores pups just as much as I do! We have a very large fenced-in yard where your pup can get in their daily zoomies! We also have two sides of our house where, if necessary, your pup can have alone time with me and away from my other two pups (who can hang out with my husband). When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will be sure to follow all routines you set. It’s important for a pup (especially one’s still learning) to have the same routines with or without their mom/dad present.
About: Where I live I’m not allowed to have any animals which is not a dream however, I get to live out my dream when I get to care and enjoy your animals while you are gone for the day or on trips! I work part time and I am a student. I like to keep the animals on the same timeline as you have them if I can. I will make the best accommodation I can! I enjoy playing and have fun while keeping the pet active. I try to keep everyone on their normal routine just with a spin of fun!
About: Hi! Growing up, I loved animals and had different kind of pets growing up. But I am definitely a dog lover at heart. I’ve been Dog Sitting for 16 years. I recently had to say goodbye to my dog which broke my heart. Or just another reason why I still love to interact and be around dogs as it gives me the same love and happiness as when I had my dog. I can’t wait to love and play with my new friends! Currently, I am unemployed, but I’m looking for a full-time job. When that time comes, I can and communicate that new schedule. For right now I’m more flexible. I am very OCD so I definitely love to make sure you’re home and your dog is in a clean environment always. Being attentive and always close to your animal.
About: Hi! I’ve been a proud dog mom, walker, and snuggler for as long as I can remember. I had my sweet Bailey, a high energy working breed, for over 5 years so I know how important it is to keep pups both mentally and physically fulfilled (zoomies included). Since I was 12, I’ve been dog sitting a family friend’s Yorkie every summer while they traveled to Colombia 3 months at a time! My parents made sure I took full responsibility since I was the one earning the treat money, and that experience stuck with me. I’ve been boarding, loving, and caring for dogs ever since. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own because that’s just how I roll! I currently work part-time, so my schedule is super flexible for your pup’s needs! I work Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday getting out by 4 PM on Sunday and Saturday and 6 PM on Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the week? I’m all yours! I’m also a total morning person, so even on workdays, I’m available for early walks and drop-ins before 9AM. Whether your pup needs some morning playtime or midday company, I’ve got the time (and energy!) to make it happen. After losing my dog Bailey, who was truly my best friend, I realized just how deeply I care for animals and how important it is to treat every pet like they’re your own. I’m incredibly attentive when I’m pet sitting always checking in to make sure your pup is happy, comfortable, and safe. I go on lots of hikes and adventures, but I never go unprepared I always bring an emergency kit and usually have a buddy with me, just in case. I also volunteer at shelters as a photographer, so I’m constantly meeting new dogs and have a lot of patience for pups with big personalities or nerves. Whether it’s cuddles, structure, or a good game of fetch, your dog’s needs always come first with me.
“Christine was fantastic!! I knew my kitty was in good care with her. I could tell my kitty was happy and well cared for. Christine jumped in at the last minute to replace a sitter we had a bad experience with, and she followed every instruction, was very communicative, and bonded well with my kitty. Will definitely book her again.”

I believe it’s almost 10 years now that she has been in our lives and we have been on countless trips in that time. Knowing Kristy is with our kitties brings a sense of calm to our trips that is priceless. She sends nightly updates and always lets us know if there are any changes with the cats. We cannot recommend her enough. Hire her now and you will never regret it.”

Amanda Y.
“Amanda might love animals more than anyone I have ever met. She spoils every dog she sees and showers them with affection. The only problem you could ever have with Amanda caring for your dogs is her reluctance to leave them when she is done! She is responsible and caring, and will make sure that your pet gets whatever they need. You could not find a better person to care for your pet than Amanda.”
Colleen C.
“Colleen has great communication skills and is truly so gentle and loving with my anxious pup! She is fit and takes pride in where she goes for walks and making sure the dog is properly walked and follows instructions carefully. She is very trustworthy, and my puppy loves her, and she even takes the time to play with them a little and give only specified treats to my pup based on my instructions! I won't think twice about hiring her for all my puppies needs! She is a true DOG WHISPERER!”
Farah E.
“Farah is an amazing pet caregiver! My family has 5 dogs and she has come and kept them company many times when we have outings to go to! They love her! She is so caring and keeps them entertained and gives lots of cuddles. Her responsibilities were to feed the dogs, give them love and make sure they went outside to go to the bathroom. We felt very comfortable having her stay at our house and our dogs can’t wait until she comes again! I highly recommend her service!”

Will definitely book her again.”
Kristen L.
“Kristen has been watching our plott hound Gigi for a decade, making sure she is comfortable and happy while we’ve been away on vacations. Gigi is an anxious dog, but Kristen always makes sure Gigi feels at home while staying at her place. I always appreciate the text and photo updates that I receive from her while I’m gone. It puts our minds at ease. Now, our dear Gigi is 14 years old and requires some geriatric care, including frequent bathroom outings and a strict diet and medication routine. I can always count on Kristen to administer medications and treat Gigi with so much love and care! She is a great babysitter and I highly recommend her to take care of your pet!”
