“Jacquelyn took such good care of my 12.5 year old and 5 month old labs. She even took the time to work with the puppy on his leash walking manners! Jacquelyn sent daily pictures and updates which was great in helping me be away from my babies.”


“Melissa was fantastic with our 2 year old PWD Sasha. Drop off and pickup was so easy and she also checked in with us during her stay with pictures and updates. When i picked up sasha she was happy to see me but also wanted to hang with Melissa still so I could tell sasha had a great time Amd was treated great! Melissa has a great home and backyard - everything was perfect!”

Not only did Matt send us updates and pics which made us feel so comfortable and happy knowing he was having fun, Gino loved Matt’s dogs Jax and Henry. (And so do we!) We are so lucky to have found Matt! Thank you for taking such good care of Gino! See you next week!”

“Christine is amazing. She was God sent to us when we our plans didn't work out and we didn't have a sitter for our 2 week vacation. Christine came thru and she treated my puppy like family and I couldn't of asked for a better home for him. I was at peace knowing he was being loved by a wonderful family 🐾💙”


About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!

“Pamela took such great care of our Dottie girl! Took her on walks, made sure she was comfortable at all times and sent texts with photos to check in. Dottie had a great time and we can’t thank Pamela enough!! 💗”


“Tricia is great. Our doggies (Maltese and Golden Retriever) stayed with her for 2 nights while we had some gatherings with friends at the Point Pleasant beach area. She kept us posted throughout the stay with texts and photos.”



“Maya had such a great time during her weekend vacation with Suzanne! We were sent plenty of photos throughout her stay and it was clear she was enjoying her time there. Like most owners on here it's tough to leave our dogs with others but Suzanne could not have been any better. There was plenty of play time and a lot of care and attention given to her. Her poodle Lola was also very sweet and they got along really well. We will 100% book her again next time we need someone to look after Maya while we're away!”


About: I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets. I have a full time job so am available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I work local so if pet sitting at my house can check in at lunch time. I have a fenced in backyard and crates if needed. My senior dog is chill and great with cats and small caged pets would be safe with her.

About: I love to play and interact with dogs and keep them fit and healthy. Getting to know their personalities and preferences is fun AND entertaining! I'm an educator, so I'm used to following a plan, detail-oriented and wanting to please both the pet and owner. I currently work from home, and have flexible availability. I do project work and school so I can work my schedule around appointments. I have weekend hours open on continuous basis! I walk dogs around parks, keeping distance from cars when I can. I have dedicated space in my home for dogs that need to be crated or have accidents.

“Christina was a perfect match for our beagle Charlie! It was his first time staying with someone outside of family and he did great thanks to Christina’s caring and loving nature. We were kept up to date with texts and pictures and were really able to enjoy our sons wedding without worry. We highly recommend Christina, she is amazing!”

About: Hi! My name is Genevieve I'm a lifelong animal lover with a gentle, nurturing approach, and I understand just how much your dog means to you. I recently lost my beloved soul dog, and while no one can ever take her place, I've found healing and purpose in caring for other pets with the same love and attention I gave to her. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your dog calm and comfortable while you're away, I treat every pup like they're part of my family. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels at home and you can have peace of mind. I’d be honored to care for your family member and will always provide updates, photos, and plenty of tail-wagging joy. Let's connect—I’d love to meet you and your pup! One of the things that makes me a great sitter is that I work from home full-time, which means I’m able to give your dog a consistent, calm, and loving environment. I can easily stick to their normal daily routine—whether that means feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship on the couch. I offer in-home care (where your dog stays with me) for boarding, or daily trips to your house for walks/feedings. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll always follow any rules, routines, or special instructions you provide, because I know that every dog—and every household, is unique.

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.

“Dan & Brenda, were great with my schedule, it was a last minute booking and Dan & Brenda had no problem with the short notice. This made it super easy for us to go knowing Kali would be cared for. We had a meet and greet beforehand and everyone was happy especially Kali , Dan has a big fenced yard for her to run around in. Kali went for daily walks, which she loves. Overall, we are all very happy with her care. Will be using Dan & Brenda again for our next trip. Thank you both! Jodi V.”


“Dena and family were absolutely amazing. We booked w very little notice. Dena was so accommodating. Drop off was so easy. Our pup is a very nervous guy but he seemed to immediately feel comfortable. Normally he shakes when in new places and won’t eat much which he didn’t do either of so I know he was in great hands. He’s been snoozing the day away after having so much fun. Thank you so much !! Definitely highly recommend.”


“Isabella was amazing! She agreed to meet with us beforehand to see if it was a good fit. From the moment Donut stepped out of the car she ran up to her asking for pets! I was also able to meet some of her family and everyone was very warm and welcoming. Isabella was very understanding about Donuts dietary restrictions as well as grooming needs. She kept us updated throughout the stay once a day with some pictures. Donut seemed to have a great time with Isabella and her family, receiving lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Isabella and will be using for future bookings.”


“Tehilla was great with Oscar. She was very responsive and kept us updated daily on events with him. She took him to dog parks and beaches which are both his favorite things to do. She also made him home cooked meals, when he grew tired of his kibble during the longish stay of 2+weeks. She is a genuine dog lover and I coudnt have asked for anything more. Highly recommend her and would surely reach back out for future requirements.”
