About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two Sphynx (hairless) cats and a Pomeranian, and I absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m looking to make some extra income so I can continue being a stay-at-home mom, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pet company, I’m happy to work around their routine and give them the attention they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention and care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Both being surrounded by 4 dogs and 2 cats my entire life I know how to cater to each pets personality and make them feel safe! I’ve had experience with senior dogs as well as young pups and know the patience needed for each pet!! I am currently in between graduating and looking for another job for my career. I am currently available all days of the week and am willing to do early mornings and late nights! I will make sure to study my environment and ensure that I can understand your pets to the fullest! I am a guest in their home and will treat it as such as well as make them feel comfortable with me in it✨

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets as well as friends and neighbors, for over 20 years. We have a warm and caring home that is ready to welcome your pet. We give all our animals lots of love and attention. I understand accidents happen, however I care for only fully house trained pets. I am at home full time and I am available to take your pets outside on walks and offer lots of play and cuddles throughout the day. Your pet will be loved and well looked after while in my care. I am also able to provide any medications or attend to any dietary needs. I have a large back yard with lots of space and grass for your pet to enjoy. I live on a quiet neighborhood, perfect for nice walks. Your pet will have full access to our clean, smoke free house, and frequent walks and play time. I care for all pets with lots of love and attention.

About: Throughout my life I have owned many pets! This includes dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, ferrets, gerbils, and even guinea pigs! I love them all! I am experienced in giving medication and caring for senior pets as well. If you’re looking for a bonus grandma to help care for your fur baby, I’m your gal! I live with four dogs and one cat so I am very accustomed to having pets as a part of my daily routine. I am also a retired grandmother, so I have plenty of free time on my hands! Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be able to provide! Small dogs can easily be taken for a walk and played with, cats can easily be entertained with toys and lots of snuggles.

“Maria did a great job and was very communicative with me. Everything went smoothly and I greatly appreciate her help. She took photos every day and made sure that everything was squared away each day.”

“Mike immediately was one of Freddy’s favorite humans. He had a natural positive energy when he met Freddy for the first time and it’s still like that. He’s communicative and shows up on time. It’s great to have someone reliable to take care of our furry family member while we’re working.”

About: I've had pets since I was born and have always cared deeply for their happiness and health. I've been asked by many friends, family and acquaintances to watch their animals and have always done a wonderful job. Part of what makes me good at it is that I genuinely love each pet I take care of, even if I only see them once. Also can administer medication’s and have experience with giving insulin shots. I’m currently working but retiring in June 2026, but I can try to accommodate as best as possible until then… after that I will have an open schedule. I can do drop-in visits to walk, feed, give medication and play with your pets while you are away. I will treat your pets as though they are my own.

“would like to sincerely thank Kathryn for the wonderful care she has given to Rocky Duke and for overseeing Blair. She is a genuinely caring, trustworthy, and dependable person who always goes above and beyond. Knowing they were in her care gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for someone compassionate, reliable, and dedicated. Thank you, Kathryn, for everything you did for my babies.”

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.

“Mike was great!! Ruby loved her daily walks while we were away and I loved the rover card updates. I felt so at ease being away knowing she was in good hands!”

Bridgette M.

“Emily did a fantastic job dropping in for my cat Mika while I was away. She made sure to send me daily updates and pictures with how Mika was doing. Mika is typically hides while visitors are in the house, but over they days she warmed up to Emily and gladly accepted treats. I will most certainly use Emily again to watch over Mika.”

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog, as well as helping to take care of my cousin's dogs. I took care of them by feeding, walking, and giving them water. I also completed an internship at Rockaway Veterinary Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with basic care and monitoring pets' health and behavior. I feel comfortable working with any animals as long as they aren't too aggressive. I loved working and being with animals since I was little, and in the future, I hope to work on a farm or as a vet. I'm going to college, and I'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your pets. Any time works for me before 8:00 pm. I usually take care of pets by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them water. The service I provide is going to the client's house and taking care of their pet. When pet sitting, I update the client by sending pictures and texting them about the pet's progress. In case of an emergency, I will take the pet to the vet.

“My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!”

About: Hi! I am an experienced and energetic individual/ former dog owner looking forward to providing a safe and fun environment for your pet here in New Jersey. I grew up with a variety of pets in the household, especially dogs, but have an affinity for all kinds of pets. Through my remote working life and surf-travel, I've been able to take up some rewarding housesitting and pet sitting opportunities for both friends and strangers in NYC, California, and Mexico City. I'm very comfortable caring for pets with medications or special needs, and always treat every furry friend with the same love and attention as my own. I once did a month-long stay for a very large Irish Greyhound in Rockaway Beach, NYC and it was an exceptional experience. (See photos for reference). :) I'm an NJ native, nonprofit and NGO professional, and outdoorsy/nature enthusiast. I especially enjoy being active and taking big walks and going to parks and using the experience to learn more about being a responsible dog owner (future goal down the line!) I have experience with many different kinds of dogs across all ages, diet preferences, and energy levels. My hours are extremely flexible, and I am available on short notice if necessary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me - I would love to be of assistance for you and your pet! Thank you! I am a free bird at the moment, so I am available for almost any time or day and can work with your schedule preferences! I live on a small lake with a beautiful yard which I am happy to utilize if they come over, just no indoor visits are allowed.
