About: I have had dogs all my life . I enjoy taking care of animals and the best part is walking them a training them . Im a mail carrier who sees dogs all day long and there is not a dog out there who doesn’t love me! I am currently working full-time, but have time in the evening and early morning to walk or Stop And to take care of your pet I have a fenced in yard But I walk my dog every day my cat stays inside. I do let her out in the backyard in the fenced in area.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.

“Allison was so great with my very shy kitty! My Sophie warmed right up to her. Allison is a cat whisperer and will be my go-to for my cat and my dog in the future. She is also super sweet and communicates well. Thank you for taking care of my girl!”

About: Frankly I don’t handle large dogs well, primarily looking to be a cat-sitter. However, if you need small dog help, I am more than happy to help! Pets are a priority! They need to be cared for, & attention for your animals is especially important while the owners are away. Happy to fill that gap! I can meet any requests needed! I am very cleanly, & will always be happy to cleanup after the animals if any accidents happen. I believe in leaving things better than you found it!

About: Hi there! I’m a caring person who truly enjoys spending time with animals—especially cats. I graduated from Teachers College, Columbia University, and I’m currently a PhD student studying the pedagogy of caring. While my research focuses on human education, I find that the same spirit of empathy and attentiveness naturally extends to how I care for pets. I study remotely from home, so I’m around most of the time to keep my furry friends company and make sure they feel loved and secure. At home, I’ve created a cozy and playful space for my pets. I decorate my home in a cute, comforting style, with plenty of soft corners, sunny spots, and cozy blankets for them to nap on. I keep a variety of toys—from feather wands to puzzle feeders—to keep my cat entertained and mentally stimulated. I also pay close attention to their diet, making sure they eat healthy, balanced meals and stay hydrated. I love spending quiet, joyful days together.

“Jennifer was excellent, especially when it came to meeting my 12 year-old fear reactive Australian Sheppard. We took the meet and greet slow to make sure everyone was comfortable. It worked because their first check-in visit went very well.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.

About: I am a lover of all animals and have had a large percentage of them as pets currently and in my past. From the usual dogs and cats to chickens, lizards, parrots and everything in between. Right now I have three rescue dogs (Brussels griffons), rescue parrots (African grey and Senegal), eight chickens and a couple of tanks of fish. I would love to bring my experience to your home to make sure your pets get the attention they need during the day when their parents are at work. I look forward to bringing the same love and patience that I have showered my own pets, past and present, to yours! I’m currently open from 9-3 during the week Weekends I could be available for in house boarding for small dogs and other animals as needed. I have a large yard that contains a fully fenced in portion with three friendly and playful Brussels griffons. Otherwise I can pop in to your house and spend however much time you need to break up your workday for your pets.

About: Reliable and compassionate pet sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medications and providing attentive, personalized care to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Services include drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. Your pets will be treated like family every step of the way! I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare! I’m available for drop in visits and walks upon special request, due to my work schedule, but I’m available for overnight stays 7 days a week. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar environment while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and attentive to their comfort and well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and senior, I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.

“She did great, follow directions, updated us, and ask questions! Our dog Ava seemed very happy in the pictures we got too!”

“Emily is wonderful! Super responsive and flexible. I’m sure Mabel would love to see her again :)”

“Brenda and Francis went above and beyond! They understood my needs and those of my fur babies and soon became friends with two of them. I had warned Brenda the other cat had been feral and does not do well under stress and would most likely hide under the bed and not make an appearance. She made sure she left her cat food every day where she would find it and the boys would not eat it. She left her kitty treats every day for her to find. Of course, the boys needed no coaxing! She sent me pictures every day. I would book her again in an instant!”

“This is the first time I have left my boys in the care of someone other than family and I couldn’t be happier. Ashley was not only quick to respond (which is important to me) , but also left me with such peace of mind. She sent me pictures and went the extra step to make sure I felt comfortable. I highly recommend her.”

“Nia was amazing with our Lab Leo. She was very professional and punctual and went above and beyond. Leo is a good judge of character and he took to Nia instantly. I would highly recommend Nia to anyone. Thank you Nia!!!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for shy, timid pets who need gentle reassurance. I’ve fostered 60+ rescue dogs and have years of experience helping anxious pups feel safe, calm, and cared for. My focus is overnight, in-home sitting so your pets can stay in their normal routine—sleeping in their own beds, in the place they feel most comfortable (no boarding stress). I am happy to send photos and updates of your pets while you're away so you can enjoy your travels knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love. While you’re away, I also treat your home with respect and care: bringing in mail/packages, rotating lights, watering plants, and keeping things tidy. Expect reliable communication, photo updates, and calm, steady care—walks, playtime, enrichment, snuggles, and support for separation anxiety/routines. I work full time for a nonprofit with some remote work flexibly as needed. My schedule is an 8 hr work day and start and end times can be adjusted as needed. I am experienced with crate training, basic obedience, special diets, walking, mental stimulation and calming techniques and lots of love, affection and snuggles. Services can be modified for the specific needs of your dog(s) or cat(s).

About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.

“David was very caring and took the time to help my dogs get used to him.”

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! :)
