About: Loving & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! Hi, fellow pet parents! I’m Christina, a lifelong animal lover with 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets. Growing up with a mother who was a professional groomer and trainer, I developed a deep understanding of animal care from an early age. I specialize in positive reinforcement and patience, working with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From leash training and exercise to administering medication and caring for disabled dogs, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to your pet’s needs. Beyond dogs, I’m also experienced with cats, small mammals (rats, guinea pigs, hamsters), non-venomous reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly friends! My routine is flexible, allowing me to be widely available with reliable transportation to care for pets as needed. Contact me if you have any questions. In your home, I provide the same routine as you would and respect the space and cleanliness as better than I found it. Your pets' safety and routine is high priority.

“Julie is great! Highly recommended. Blu loves her and she kept in contact with me with updates. Definitely looking forward to booking with her again in the future. 10/10!”

“We love Jennifer so much! Our little girl is always stoked to see her, and we feel totally assured that she and our home are diligently taken care of.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)

“Christina was easy to communicate with, reliable, professional and friendly. I will definitely book her to take care of my senior cat again! Highly recommend!”

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.

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.

“Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!”

I didn’t even meet her when she watched my Kitten but met her when I got home and I saw how much she loved my kitten. I am so comfortable with her watching my kitten anytime. I’m so thankful I picked her as the cat sitter. I also love that she kept me updated with my baby and sent me pictures”
