About: I’m 25 years old and live with my parents and sister in a home where someone is almost always around throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I’ve had dogs my entire life, including a Shih Tzu and a German Shepherd, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Having dogs has taught me how to care for different personalities and sizes, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. We also have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of space for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. I’d love to give your dog a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! Pet care is something I take seriously and enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owners provide. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they always have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I also have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can play and get some fresh air. Most importantly, I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures throughout their stay!

About: Hi! I'm a life-long animal lover and advocate who has been working professionally with animals for 7 years now. I specialize in cats and dogs— but I also have experience with reptiles, birds, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, fish, insects, frogs, and wildlife. I adore all animals, and my training includes seniors, puppies and kittens, and any and all animals with specific training, behavioral, dietary, or medical needs. Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! :) As someone with a part-time remote job, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your animals! I am extremely flexible and am willing to work around your needs. I will follow your instructions and preferences for your pet's care, with open communication, transparency, and frequent updates! I know pets are all very unique, with their own quirks and individual needs, and I am ready to handle any situation that arises, or any specific requests that you may have. :)

About: My 10 year old and I love it when your babies enjoy a swim in the lake in the summer and/or a walk around the lake with us. Rest assured your fur babies will be happy and healthy while you are away. Our standard poodle is my daughter’s best girl. We go for walks at least once per day around the lake (1.6 miles around). Sometimes we even go more than once and we all get a good workout in! We usually care for dogs here at home, however, I am open to caring for your fur babies at your house, if you prefer! Let me know!

About: I’ve always been patient and empathetic with animals. I love meeting dogs and cats, caring for them and making them happy. My family dog passed away this year at the age of 16-17. I have a cat. I can be available in the evening/night between 5pm and 8am, and in the morning before 8am. I can’t have other animals in my home because I have a cat. I can’t have other animals in my home due to my two cats, but I’m very respectful of other people’s homes. I never leave the house without making sure my cats are fed or have someone available to check on them if I will be gone for more than a few hours.

My yard is impossible to fence but for smaller or older dogs I allow them on deck off lead (when I am home). When not working from home I am in Branchville and can stop at your home by 04:30PM. I am available many weekends. I am experienced in training basic obedience and have worked with multiple rescue dogs.

My fur baby, Kiera, is a pitbull that we rescued 2 years ago. and shes the biggest mush. I love her dearly and she makes every day so much brighter I’m currently home full-time with my daughter, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always show respect and responsibility when entering someone else’s home to care or walk their babies because I know I would like the same if someone was taking care of my fur baby

About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently care for my 10 year old yorkie Aj. Who has taught me so much about the importance of patience, routine, and unconditional love. I pay attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs whether that’s plenty of playtime, snuggles, or extra patience for seniors. I’m also reliable and attentive making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 💕💕 I am super excited to take on this adventure because I have such a deep love for animals and would love to spend my extra time taking care of any lovely dogs or cats.

About: I am a rescue dog owner of 3 large dogs. My oldest is 10 and my youngest is 6. My passion and love for animals is huge and I love all dogs of any size and type. I am a single mother looking to make some extra income and would love to help care for your babies as a way of doing so. I currently work full time from 8am-4pm locally and am available for walks any time after 4:30pm during the work week. Available for weekend opportunities as well. Could walk any time after 10 on weekend days. My rescue does not like other dogs so unfortunately, I can't care for your animal in my home. I am open to staying at someone else's home overnight when possible.

“Courtney has been nothing but amazing ! She has been able to help us with some last minute walks. I trust her with our girl and Ruby seems so happy to have her”

About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

“Was very communicative and friendly! Took them on a great walk and kept me informed about how it went! Would totally reach out again for future walks!”

“First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

About: ​Every dog has their own rhythm and quirks, and understanding those details is what matters most. I offer dependable, attentive sitting tailored to their regular routine, ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and thoroughly loved in their environment. ​With a flexible schedule, pet care is my central focus throughout the day. I have open availability for daytime walks, mid-day drop-ins, and overnight stays, ensuring your pet receives steady companionship, structured routines, and plenty of focused attention. Safety always comes first. I adhere strictly to leashing protocols, double-check secure gates, and follow feeding or medication instructions to the letter. In your home, I keep spaces clean and calm, treating your environment with total care and respect.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

“Our Boston terrier absolutely LOVES Jaylynn! Going away for a week, we left our pup at home with a relative who couldn’t take him in regular walks, but Jaylynn came every day to tire him out. She was prompt, communicative, and flexible. 10/10 would recommend”
