About: I’ve become the go-to person among my friends for pets that need extra care or have specific routines. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s normal schedule. As a dog owner myself, I truly empathize with how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize clear, thoughtful communication—keeping you updated and reassured, while also giving you peace of mind to enjoy your time away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekday and weekend afternoons, and I truly enjoy being around dogs. 😊 I’m very mindful and respectful of a dog’s home environment and personal space. I take my time building trust and focus on creating a calm, safe presence so they feel comfortable and secure.

“Samantha is kind patient and reliable. I would recommend her to any and all pet owners!”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

“Carina took great care of my 2 dogs! They seemed very comfortable with her and she sent lots of pictures and updates. I will definitely rebook her!”

“Heidi was wonderful with my senior dog! Lulu has a lot of quirks and needs a little extra care, but she handled everything perfectly. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and I could tell she was well cared for. Heidi is reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a life-long dog lover, having had dogs of my own until my kids left for college. These days, I enjoy helping friends and family care for their dogs combining my love for animals with years of hands-on experience. Now I offer that same reliable, compassionate care to others. I own and operate a youth sports training business, which allows me to have a flexible schedule throughout the day. This flexibility gives me the opportunity to dedicate time to another passion of mine - caring for animals. This allows me to provide reliable early morning walks, check ins, and pet care during the time most people are away or at work. I offer in-house pet care only, meaning I come to your home to walk, feed or check on your dog in the comfort of their own familiar space. I do not board or keep dogs in my home.

“I highly recommend Nicholas! He was taking such a good care of our dog for 4 days while we were out of town! He is very quick to respond, I received updates and pictures from him. Will definitely hire him again!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands on medical experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) and have 28 years of experience handling and caring for many species. I provide high level care, ideal for pets who need consistency, medication support, or a calm, reliable presence. I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs + my own dogs. Sometimes even caring for 100+ horses at one time! I take care of all of my friends' dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie in my photos). Whether I’m riding horses in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first. I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. Now that I have graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career, I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness! My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday (usually early AM & evenings). *Hours Tuesday - Saturday change every week (I get 2 weeks in advance notice for these specific days) & will most likely be morning and evening walks/drop-ins (I am not available MID-DAY for check-ins or walks)* I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines. I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! I only host one dog in my care at a time to provide calm, focused, and personalized care for your fur baby:) Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!

“Claudia is a rockstar! My dog is pretty high maintenance when it comes to walks, as she’s reactive on the leash. But Claudia handled her very well, and made me feel much more at ease while I was away. If you need a wonderful dog sitter, Claudia is your girl! 🙌”

About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.

“We couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter! She was incredibly responsible while house sitting and kept us completely at ease with her excellent communication and daily photo updates. Our dogs absolutely adored her, which is truly the highest compliment we can give. We will without a doubt be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter! Thanks again Kaining!”

About: 🐾 Lifelong Animal Lover & Trusted Pet Caregiver 🐾 For me, pets aren’t “just animals” — they’re family. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Today, I care for my 20-year-old blind diabetic cat, which has taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle, attentive care really is. I’m experienced with giving insulin injections by syringe and caring for senior or special-needs pets who need extra love and attention. I also spend time helping care for my brother’s Pitbull, Chance, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels — from couch cuddlers to energetic walking buddies! When your pet is with me, they’ll get more than basic care — they’ll get affection, attention, playtime, and someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll always treat them like one of my own. ✨ Reliable ✨ Responsive ✨ Patient & Gentle ✨ Experienced with Senior/Special-Needs Pets ✨ Walks, Playtime, Feeding & Lots of Love Included I can’t wait to meet your furry family member(s)! 🐕🐈 I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule. I can plan my day around your pet’s routine. Currently available for walking, drop in visits, and over night boarding. I also have experience giving meds including insulin injections. Although, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I have a private rooftop deck for pups that like fresh air and sun. There is a park and plenty of turf areas for play, poops and all the sniffs!!

“Our dogs LOVE Samantha! They were so excited to see her and spend time with her. She stayed at our house for 2 nights and made sure the dogs were safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!”
