Dog Sitting Milltown

“My animals loved Hannah! My dogs have a lot of energy and she played with them and threw the ball for a long time! She even noticed that my one dog had a health concern and asked me if I wanted her to do something for it so I had Hannah give my dog some medicine and put a cone on her. She went above and beyond! I have used Hannah to watch my dogs in the past and would definitely trust her with my pets again in the future! Even my cat loves her and he rarely warms up to new people!”

About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up caring for my Shih Tzu and my pit/beagle mix, who are now happily playing over the rainbow bridge. They taught me the importance of patience, attention, and unconditional love, and I hope to share that same nurturing care with the fur babies in my community. I work a typical 9–5 job, with remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule with advanced notice to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or keeping them company, I will treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive support and regular updates for your peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup, and I look forward to caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work 9 am-5 pm. In office Tuesdays - Thursdays in Princeton/North Brunswick, WFH Mondays and Friday North Brunswick/South Amboy. Flexible with advanced notice! I travel between South Amboy, North Brunswick and Princeton areas. Again, my schedule can be super flexible depending on date and time and we can arrange something! care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. In my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, clean space. I also take time to understand each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they prefer active play, relaxed companionship, or extra patience if they’re shy. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs!

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”

About: I have always had a dog in my life for 20 years, and it makes me so happy! I love meeting new dogs and being able to play and care for them. I am currently a full time college student! Due to schooling, I can do any walks from 9am-12:30pm everyday, and from 4pm-10pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, 6pm-10pm Tuesdays and Thursday, with open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! Message me with any questions! I like to take my own dog on walks (even though he chooses the path) and love to give him baths. I’ve taken care of other dogs before through friends.

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give each dog as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding, and behavior, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also organized, patient, and I always make sure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I’m fully available, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can give pets consistent attention, follow their schedule, and be present throughout the day. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of space to explore. I’m lucky to have a large outdoor area with beautiful surroundings, including small lakes and walking paths, which allows for relaxing walks and plenty of fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety. Inside, I keep a clean, cozy space where pets can rest comfortably and follow their usual routines. In clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s routine and environment, making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: As a lifelong dog parent who recently provided dedicated, high-needs care for my own senior dog, I deeply understand every stage of a pup's life—from energetic puppyhood to the gentle senior years. I am highly experienced in managing specialized routines, including administering medications and eye drops, preparing prescriptive diets, and handling accident cleanups with patience. Whether your dog needs active playtime, structured walks, or just a comforting presence to feel safe and secure, I am ready to provide the attentive love they deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to attend to your pups! I'm available for house sitting and staying with your pup in their own comfy environment. Let me know what your needs are and I'll try to accommodate them! I can care for your pet in your home as you see fit! My goal is to make your pup feel happy, safe, and secure and stick to their normal routine as much as possible.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life, big and small, so I’ve had experience feeding, cleaning up after, and taking care of animals for a while. I began with taking care of dogs around my neighborhood, and eventually got a job at an overnight dog daycare. The job gave me more experience in taking care of and interacting with dogs, as well as feeding, grooming, and reading the body languages of dogs whether they were independent or in a group setting. I also used to volunteer on a farm, so I have experience with other species of animals as well! I am currently a student at Rutgers University with a class schedule. My availability is as follows, MONDAY- 12pm to 3 or 6pm- all night TUESDAY- 12pm- all night WEDNESDAY- 7 am- 3pm or 6pm- all night THURSDAY- 2 pm- all night FRIDAY- 12pm- all night SATURDAY AND SUNDAY- anytime I’m always very adamant of respecting the boundaries of animals, and I’m good at reading their body language. I try to create a calming and stress free environment, making sure I introduce myself and establish a comfortable relationship with them. I understand that being away from family can be stressful for pets, so I try to make them as happy and relaxed as possible and treat them as if they were my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd named Eva, the love of my life. While a sophomore in high school, I began working at a dog daycare called Pups@Play Montclair. That job gave me invaluable knowledge of dog behavior and relationship dynamics. I learned the intricacies of their behavior, body language, personality, whether they were high energy or low energy, active or reactive, etc. I used that to diffuse many doggy disputes. I worked with and managed 50+ dogs everyday. Daschunds, puppies, mutts, great danes, shepherds, samoyeds, bulldogs, pitbulls, hairless, everything. I can handle any dog I meet. You can trust me to handle your dog with care, happiness, love, understanding, and patience. I am fit and ready to play! Dogs hold such a special place in my heart and I can't wait to meet yours! I am a student at Rutgers New Brunswick and my schedule currently has me free after 5pm on weekdays and any time after 9am on weekends. I can potentially be available if there is a special circumstance but that is by no means a guarantee. I do not currently offer boarding services. If I were to offer boarding, your dog would be comfortable, happy, hydrated, and well-fed. Have a great day, talk to you soon!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies (especially Holland Lops!), and even small rodents like hamsters and guinea pigs. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and your pet will be treated just like one of the family while they’re with me. I have a fully fenced-in yard and a cozy home filled with love—and four wonderful, respectful kids who are just as excited to welcome your furry friend as I am. We believe in gentle hands, lots of attention, and keeping routines as close to home as possible. I also have: • A well-behaved, fixed dog with a calm temperament who gets along well with others • An extra crate and room to accommodate different needs • A work-from-home schedule, so I’m home most of the day for supervision, cuddles, and potty breaks • A love for long neighborhood walks—perfect for active pups who enjoy fresh air and exercise Whether your pet needs space to play, snuggles on the couch, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment. Boutique, In-Home Style Care 🐾 I’m a low-volume sitter by choice because I believe pets thrive best in an environment that closely mirrors their own home. Your fur baby won’t be one of many — I only board one family at a time, ensuring individualized attention, consistency, and calm. There’s no crating all day or night here (unless that’s part of your pet’s normal routine). Pets are treated like family — lounging comfortably, following familiar schedules, and receiving the same level of care, affection, and structure they’re used to at home. If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-style experience where your pet receives truly personalized care rather than a kennel setting, you’re in the right place. 💛 I’d love to meet your pet and answer any questions you have. Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit! I work remotely, so I’m home all day long! Evenings may be busy with ubering my kids around, but your babies will be kept in a safe and clean environment if I’m gone for a short time. I have a fenced in yard, for the dogs to play. My kids are well versed in pet safety, regarding doors and gates. And I have two separate areas of the house your babies are free to roam that are away from outside access doors. When boarding, please bring all supplies. Food, treats, toys. Animals away from home may be confused. Bedding, smells from home are comforting! I do have litter boxes, but do not store litter, as cats have different preferences. Please bring enough litter for your stay.

About: I am a part time dog groomer and need another part time dog gig🐾I would love to keep your pup company while you are away! 😊 I work part-time so have plenty of time to fit you into my day!

I’ll also monitor their overall well-being and let you know if I notice anything unusual. For walks, I provide safe, attentive exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or a more active walk, I’ll make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need while staying safe and happy.

About: Hello - I'm Abbie. I have recently left the corporate world to pursue my graduate degree full time and reside in Cranford, NJ. I am a proud dog mom to one doggie - Kai - who absolutely adores other dogs. He uses Rover too when I am away! I have been taking care of animals since I could remember! Growing up in an animal lover household, I have had birds, turtles, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I got my first pet when I was 5 years old; a bunny named Chocolate. I am sadly away from my animals in my home. At my family home, I have a yorkie named Dexter and many silkie chickens; Dobby, Tori, and Sunshine just to name a few! Throughout my undergrad, I also lived with my roommate's Aussie named Asher whom I bathed, walked, and played lots of fetch with. I started house sitting when I was in high school for my neighbors and family-friends on vacations/weekends. I trained my dog Dexter on my own when I was 15 years old and am used to bringing him on daily walks! I am happy to walk, bathe, cuddle, and feed your pet along with any other services you would need. I have a strong love for all animals big and small and will treat them like my own (and so will Kai) Since I am a graduate student, my schedule is very fluid. I have classes in the evenings mostly and my weekends are quite free. Since I have a dog of my own, I am already up around 7-8AM for morning walks a food. I walk my dog at least 1 hour a day - one long walk during lunch time and another in the evening after dinner. I rent a home with an unfenced yard. I already take Kai on 2-3 walks a day. I will be able to walk your furry friend as well!
