“Pete is truly amazing. We haven't gone away or even done an overnight in over 3 years because of my reservations about letting someone watch our babies. Our baby Elf is high anxiety. He gets very nervous and anxious around new people. Pete did a few meetings just to put my mind at ease. As soon as we met him we knew he was a caring, genuine person and definitely an animal lover. He was very accommodating and always prompt. We were pleasantly surprised with how quickly Elf warmed up to him. Simba showered him with kisses right away. He sent us pics and updates. Our babies absolutely adore him. He played with them and easily gave Elf his meds. He treated them like his own. We will definitely keep using Pete and we're so relieved, grateful and lucky to have found such a kind hearted and dependable person. Elf and Simba can't wait to see him again. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Jill was practical, prompt, and personal. She knew when to ask questions and she also went above and beyond to make my older parents feel comfortable about letting her in the house. She was flexible with our changing needs, and offered us the benefit of the doubt. Most importantly, she showed genuine compassion and care for my cats. She was familiar with medication administration, and when my litter box malfunctioned, she troubleshooted online and did her own research to try and figure it out. I love that she was always willing to learn in order to handle new situations better in the future. Absolutely top tier care provider and human being!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sharon and ever since I was little I have always been around a dog and have been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs for many years! I promise that your dog will be in good hands with me! Now that my kids are older and I have more time in my schedule, I’m available just about whenever you or your dog need me! I’m available almost anytime, weekdays, weekends, doesn’t matter. I have a fenced in yard with room for your fur baby to explore. I also have an older bichon-poo who likes to meet new friends.
“I made this booking last minute and Melissa was nothing but helpful on taking care of my dog as if it was her own. We coordinated a meet and greet which made it easier for my dog to warm up to her and help her understand his needs and daily routine. I will be using her again.”
“We used Veronica previously and, as she did before, she took such excellent care of our two cats while we were away. One cat gets medicine and she’s able to give it without issue! She loves our cats and it means so much to us that they were cared for so well while we were gone. Absolutely recommend Veronica to any pet owners!! We love her!”
“Katherine was amazing! Super reliable, always on time, and followed all our instructions perfectly. She was so sweet with our dogs. She played with them, sent us updates and cute pics, and made us feel totally at ease. You can tell she really loves animals. Highly recommend!”
“Seymour did an outstanding job taking care of my dog while I was away all day. He also sent frequent photos and videos, and overall I am very happy and would highly recommend him.”
“Can not thank Alba enough for taking such good care of our little guy! He’s still a puppy and needs a lot of patience and attention and she gave both in spades. Thanks for leaving a happy, sleepy puppy after your visit!”
“Kasper is the best! They took extra good care of my 3 kitties and followed all instructions left. They sent me tons of pictures and left detailed notes of each visit. I felt the my kitties were safe and in caring hands with Kasper. I also felt my house was safe and locked up properly each time. I will 100% be reaching out for Kasper’s services again in the future. - I can tell you truly care about animals and that’s very important to me in a petsitter. Thank you again for everything.”
About: Hello there. I love animals. I am a responsible, caring, organized, and fun pet caregiver. I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits and dog/rabbit sitting in your home. I would love to hear from you. I work in local New Jersey areas, such as Toms River, Red Bank, Brick, Jackson and Lakewood. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening dog walking. I also can provide drop-in visits and sit on weekends in your home as well. Walking in dog parks and outside. Clean up its💩. Playing fetch and using fun chew toys aka lamb chop. I will of course feed, bathe, clean, walk and play with the dog in your home. I also am able to administer giving medicine.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life! I have seen a number of dogs from puppy to senior age! I mostly have experience with bigger breeds but have a big love for small breeds as well! I work full time however as I am remote Mondays and Fridays, I have flexibility those days along with weekends! This is a passion of mine so if I want to make it fit, I will! In my clients homes, I like to ensure there is ample but clean space for the dog to play and rest! I follow the clients instructions to a T to insure their pet is well taken care of and happy!
About: I live with a Great Dane and a Mini Pitcher/Chihuahua mix. I have walked my neighbors dogs when they were out of town and played with them in their yard for a while. I watched my neighbors cats for a while until they moved, this involved feeding, changing water, loving on them, and changing their litter boxes, also cleaning the occasional puke. I currently am unemployed and looking for something to do with my time so I am very flexible and open. I am willing to make things work for you. Having a big dog and a small dog I am very comfortable around dogs and understand that these are your children. Also having experiences with cats lets me know how to treat them as well. Walking the dogs especially in the summer can be tough because of the heat so if I think it’s to hot I will not walk your dog, but would love to reschedule a different time.
About: I have several years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for both cats and dogs—from energetic puppies to senior companions. My own cat is 17 years young! I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention, just like family. I know how reassuring updates can be, so I always share regular photos and check-ins. You can count on me to care for your pet with love and reliability. Flexible work schedule, I can typically work around you! Weekdays and weekends available. Whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay, I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines closely—feeding, walking, playing, and administering any needed medication according to their instructions. I’m respectful of the home and try to leave everything as I found it. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.
