“Philsung went above and beyond taking care of our 2 large senior dogs. He was thoughtful and proactive, and communicated throughout the visits. We were very impressed and would definitely book again.”

About: 33 year old looking to earn a little extra money while working remotely full time. I'm a huge dog/animal lover! I always grew up with dogs and helped watch/take care of them. I also helped watch, walk, and take care of friends' dogs, and used to walk for Wag, so I have lots of experience with it. Your dog will get lots of love and attention from me, and all the play time he/she needs. I work remotely, so I am somewhat open for walks! I just cannot commit to anything super consistent. I’m available for more occasional walks or visits I am currently not allowed to bring dogs to my rental apartment. I’m happy to listen to your instructions on caring for them in your home
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. While I don’t currently own a dog, I regularly care for my cousin’s dog here in New Jersey — walking, feeding, and keeping him company. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! I currently work as a secretary from 12pm to 5pm on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings before noon and after 5pm on weekdays. I have more flexibility on weekends and can accommodate house sitting when needed! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Since I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m punctual, communicative, and will send regular photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your pup is happy and safe!
“Thank you for taking care of our cat for 3 weeks. Lulu always looked happy and healthy when you visited and really grew to like you. Would love to use your service again in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically all of my life. My family and friends would ask me to take care of or walk their pets and I’d always be there when they needed. I’m also used to taking care of puppies and kitties and enjoyed it no matter how tiring it may have been. My schedule right now is completely free other than going to school and so I’ll always have time to be able to walk a dog or take care of them. In my clients home if I’m pet sitting I’ll make sure I ask where their food is, where I take their water from and if there’s anything in their house that is specifically for their pet and remember that spot for future uses.
“This was our first time working with Valerie. She was responsive in the up-front process, nice, and asked good questions about our cat. We were gone for a week and twice a day she was on time and spent good time with him, sharing a couple of photos that focused on the main thing we asked her to do with him so we knew he was being well cared for. Overall, she was reliable, responsive, and pleasant to work with.”


About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my work days are only on Thursdays and Fridays in the afternoon so I have a lot of time on my hands! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!
About: What sets me apart is my deep, firsthand experience with feline care and behavior. I first started as a foster parent for a local animal shelter, which is how I met my two sweet cats. Raising them since they were tiny, vulnerable kittens taught me everything about specialized cat care—from reading subtle body language to managing strict feeding schedules and grooming. I also grew up with a spirited Terrier, so I’m highly comfortable with energetic dogs. I regularly pet-sit for my friends' fur babies, and I’m ready to provide a patient, loving, and detail-oriented environment for yours! I currently work, so my schedule is best suited for early morning and evening pet care. I love starting my day with an early walk or check-in, and I am completely free after work to provide dedicated care, feeding, and play. Because I maintain a consistent routine, your pets will always have a reliable and structured schedule with me! Since I only offer drop-in visits and house sitting, my priority is keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. During each visit, I closely follow your specific instructions for feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning. I also make sure your home is completely secure before I leave. You can expect regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind knowing your fur babies and your home are in good hands!
About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets and grew up with both dogs and cats. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I am reliable, responsible, and will treat your pet with the same love, care, and attention that I would give my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, fresh water, feeding, or simply some extra companionship during a drop-in visit, I will make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I will follow your instructions closely to ensure the best experience for both you and your furry friend. Communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Friends and family know me as someone who goes above and beyond, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being active. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to be on time and follow each pet's individual needs and schedule. Whether it's a walk, feeding, playtime, or a drop-in visit, I enjoy providing pets with attention, companionship, and care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions closely to help maintain the pet's normal routine and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owner is away. Communication is important to me, and I am happy to provide updates and photos for added peace of mind.
“Sherri is amazing to work with. Very communicative and was able to accommodate me on short notice. I felt completely comfortable leaving our Luna in her care. Sherri is definitely our go to for pet care!”


“We have booked Jalisa several times and she has always been wonderful. She is great with our pack of pups (we've never left her with less than 2 and sometimes as many as 4 dogs) and reliably keeps in touch with great pictures. I recommend Jalisa highly.”

“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”

About: As a pet parent for most of my life, I’m passionate about all different animals. While I am a self-proclaimed dog person, I love all pets and consider them family. Because of this, I believe in treating your pets as if they were my own! I have owned dogs for most of my life and have extensive experience in dog care, such as walking, feeding, bathing, and playing. I have helped family members and friends with different services whenever needed, and truly have a passion for spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, and believe every dog deserves kindness regardless of breed. I have taken care of cats before and am also very comfortable with them! I also have my own vehicle, meaning I can transport your pet to any location as needed. I’m comfortable standing, walking, and playing for long amounts of time, as some pets require more energy and attention than others. I’m also very detail-orientated and will follow any instructions as listed by the client, such as for feeding and bathing. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and take pride in carefully caring for them ❤️. My schedule is very flexible, meaning I have time for different pet services throughout the week. I am available most days, and am a stickler for scheduling and being punctual, meaning you never have to worry about mix-ups or last-minute cancellations. My calendar is always freshly updated so that you may know if I’m ever unavailable! I can take care of any pet in a client’s home provided that the client has necessary items, such as food, toys, and a bed/crate. I’ve taken care of pets with both strict and flexible routines, and am comfortable following a schedule or being spontaneous and taking care of a let’s needs as they arise. I’m also comfortable with administering oral medication, as I have experience doing this with my own dog.
“Alyssa is incredibly reliable and responsive! Even with a last minute request and during Christmas, she was able to care for our pets. I trust Alyssa in my home and with our cats. It’s an added bonus that she sends pictures every visit.”

“I booked Hallie to care for Nyla . I was extremely happy with the care and time Hallie spent with Nyla. In the future I will be booking Hallie to dog sit . I highly recommend others to book Hallie. Thank you Jimmy”

About: My pet care experience began when I was a child; I volunteered at animal shelters, pet-sat for neighbors and family, and cared for my family’s dog, Gustavo! As an adult, my commitment to animal care has grown. I graduated from University of Maryland in 2024 with a B.S. in Animal Sciences. While earning my degree, I gained hands-on training concerning cats, dogs, rabbits, and multiple species of large animals. During the following year, I worked as a veterinary assistant at an emergency veterinary hospital. This job allowed me to care for pets with a wide variety of needs, from behavioral issues to critical medical conditions. Currently, I am earning my master's through University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. My extensive animal experience and education have prepared me to provide high quality care for your pet, no matter what needs they may have! I am currently an online graduate student, which means that I am highly flexible. I am usually able to accommodate whatever hours my clients need! With that being said, I am only capable of taking on short-term bookings due to my commitments to current clients. My top priority when caring for any pet is understanding their needs on an individual level. My experience has taught me that connecting with each unique pet results in the most effective care possible! Let me know the type of environment that makes both you and your pet most comfortable and I will be sure to provide it.
“Stephanie takes really good care of the puppy and is respectful of the space. She consistently shares messages about the time she spent with the puppy and is a quick responder. Stephanie is amazing!”

Loretta has been wonderful with my cat, Peach! I’ve booked her almost 10 times now, including for a few last-minute requests, and she’s always been reliable, responsive, and caring. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Peach is in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐱💕

Wen was just amazing to work with during my family vacation! It was the first long vacation we’ve ever had because we worried about our fur babies. But after met Wen before booking, she was knowledgeable and professional for dog and cat. She send us lot of pictures and comments if needed and always arrived the time we were discussed. We will definitely ask her later to care our fur family! Thank you so much for your work and care. 🙏

While we were away, a heat wave hit and temperatures at home rose into the 90s. Our indoor thermostat was still set for heat, but Valerie noticed the issue, proactively contacted us, and worked with us to switch the AC on. We can’t imagine how miserable our cats would have been without her attentiveness. We’re very grateful for her care and quick thinking!

Yiming is really a wonderful sitter: super professional, responsive, and thorough. I tend to be rather anxious when leaving my cat alone, but I was able to totally have some peace of mind thanks to Yiming’s attentiveness and clear love for animals! 1000% recommend
