About: I have experience both cat sitting and dog sitting for owners who have been out of town for extended periods of time. I have also cared for my family dog and own personal cat! I am currently working full time, so I am available for morning and/or evening care, overnight stays as well as weekend care! I currently cannot offer care in my own home because of my own pet. I offer in-home stays and visits so your pet can be comfortable in their own environment! I am knowledgeable about animals and attentive to their needs. I have experience caring for animals with unique needs, such as my family dog, who has high anxiety that influences her behavior. I love to play with pets and will always make sure they receive adequate attention based on their needs.

About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, bunnies, amphibians, horses and other small animals (however I am happy to learn how to take care of new species as well). I have been volunteering at various animal shelters and rescues for 5 years and also have experience in a veterinary medicine setting. I am a pre-vet student and love animals more than anything! I am currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pets. I am available on weekdays and weekends and am generally very flexible. I have lots of experience with animals and the most important thing to me is making sure they are safe and comfortable. I will do my upmost to make sure your pets are happy and well cared for.

“Claire watched our poodle puppy Pippa for a night while we were out at a baseball gam, and she was terrific. Shes a great communicator and easy to work with. She offered to come by for a meet and greet to get to know me and Pippa before watching her, which I really appreciated. She sent frequent updates and pictures during her stay - and I could tell that my dog was having a great time with her. I highly recommend Claire for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Melissa was so sweet to our cat Hazel whom immediately took to her. Our road flooded and was closed due to a downed tree and she still came to feed her! I literally can't imagine someone nicer and more responsible.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra support. I am also experienced with dogs with behavioral challenges. With a background in the mental health field, I bring a calm, compassionate approach to pet care, grounded in patience and an understanding that behavior is a form of communication. I take time to build trust and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. As a graduate student at Montclair State University, I’m local and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate extra time to pet care. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine—it’s a meaningful way for me to help out while spending time with animals I love. While each week in my schedule is slightly different, please feel free to reach out with your preferences so we can find a schedule that works best for both of us. I’m happy to be flexible and work around what you and your pet need. I provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each pet’s routine and space, and I always follow any specific instructions provided—whether that’s leading pets to their designated areas, managing feeding schedules, or crating when needed. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away, all while keeping your home tidy and routines consistent.

About: Dog owner to one 8YO male German Shepherd lab mix and one 2YO female Staffordshire Bull terrier mix! These two keep me on my toes I work a full-time remote job, so I am free to tend to my dogs during the day! We go on plenty of looooong walks so mama can stretch her legs too! I am happy to assist with those who need a sitter for their precious pups during your weddings as well! I have a large condo with a back den that we can close off (it’s filled with plants and cozy chairs as a zen zone). I also have plenty of dog toys and a spare bed if necessary! My two dogs are very friendly and will refuse to stop playing!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 years old, I give them all the love and care possible, my family and friends can attest to this, I also work with children so I am very careful. Our home is extremely pet friendly! We love entertaining our furry guests so there will be a lot of playing involved! It is not easy to trust just anyone with your loved one and as such you will be provided constant updates via text, email messages, photos and videos. I work full time but my wife is home always and has plenty of time to offer play time, long walks and ton of cuddles for your fur baby! I have a large yard and plenty of room in the house specially designed to play and take care of your fur baby to make them feel right at home!

About: I love animals, most of the time I'd rather interact and show compassion towards pets over people. Growing up we had SIX indoor cats while also caring for a feral cat colony in our backyard. Very familiar with all aspects of pet care, I have volunteered at a couple local shelters such as HAAL & Tabby's Place. My father's family used to train and show German Shepherds, so while I've never owned my own dog I am very comfortable caring for and walking pups. I'm an athletic male with the strength to safely walk bigger, stronger dogs. In another life I would have dedicated myself to becoming an actual veterinarian. Very passionate about your fur babies and the bond that most people share with their animals! Open availability during the week, morning & night. Walks, pet care, pet sitting and overnights. Weekends are scheduled but still open enough to take on a couple commitments. Walks & pet care, NO overnights unless scheduled a week before I prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets and their owners in every service I provide. In my own home, I maintain a secure, clean, and pet-friendly environment, ensuring all pets have a comfortable space tailored to their needs. In clients' homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets are safe and well cared for. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise routines precisely, secure doors and gates to prevent escapes, and monitor pets for any signs of stress or discomfort. Hygiene is a top priority—I sanitize hands and equipment between visits to prevent cross-contamination. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners."

About: I have been caring for family and friends’ dogs for over 15 years, providing reliable, loving attention, daily walks, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m currently working part time and a full time student in graduate school so i am doing the best I can in between my schedule! My dog is 15 years old and loves to go on walks! we have a fenced in yard where she loves to play and has tons of room to run around!

About: My caring nature as a dog walker/sitter stems from my genuine love for animals, particularly nurtured through my experiences with two cockapoo dogs growing up. This emotional connection fuels my commitment to providing attentive and compassionate care to other dogs as well. Owning and caring for my own furry companion, Kaia, since she was 3 months old, adds valuable hands-on experience to my skills as a dog caregiver. My ability to care for both adult dogs and puppies showcases a well-rounded understanding of various age-related needs, further distinguishing myself in the realm of pet care. I also have helped care for and walk numerous friends / neighbors dogs whenever needed. I have availability at anytime during the day on Tuesdays as well as the weekends. Nighttime walks available anytime after 6 pm on Mon/Wed/Thurs/Fri. I have flexibility on timing. I will walk your dog for the designated time you need, and do drop in visits to feed or play with your dog. I will tailor my services to meet the specific needs of both my client and dog.

“Alex was wonderful in every way!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. My dog is currently 14 and I assist him in anyway I can by helping him eat, walk, go upstairs and play. Pet care fits into my schedule whenever really as I am home from college for the summer and looking to walk dogs as mine recently passed. I’ll care for your dog by giving it treats, water, food and affection. I’ll take care and walk it like it’s my own 14 yr old dog.
