About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)

About: I have had three family dogs total and I currently have a King Charles who is very needy. I have trained my King Charles to do several tricks from a young age. I also currently live with a Great Dane and a Poodle, St. Bernese mix. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds and I often petsit for my neighbors dogs. I am in charge of walking, feeding, and bathing the pets that I have pet sat for. I am a recent college student at Penn State in State College. I have a very flexible schedule for petsitting and I am willing to travel! I will trust my clients instincts with how they provide for their animal. I want to follow the rules and guidelines that the owner provides for me and I can improvise if needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, from bouncing puppies and feisty kittens to wise senior pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats — each with their own unique personality and needs. I specialize in puppy training basics, gentle leash walks, and helping new pets adjust to their routines. I also have extensive experience with senior pet care, including administering medications, providing mobility support, and making sure older pets stay comfortable and loved. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or cuddle breaks, I make sure every pet feels cared for like family. I treat every animal like my own — with patience, respect, and lots of love (and maybe a few extra treats). I currently work in a hybrid setup so I can easily carr for your pet! Currently I am available on Mondays and Fridays throughout the day as those days I work from home, available on weekends, and after 6PM Tuesday-Thursday I believe that establishing trust is the key to every successful relationship with an animal — whether meeting a new pet or caring for one I already know. I approach each interaction with patience and respect, ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their individual boundaries, offering affection and playtime without ever pushing them beyond their comfort level.

About: Hello! I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I've been surrounded by pet bunnies, cats, dogs and lizards. I would like to keep taking care of your furry family members and, my number 1 priority is to make sure they're happy, healthy, and loved. It's not just me though, my boyfriend, Gill A. also joins me on these sits, so your furry friend gets double the love! As dedicated pet caregivers, we understand certain pets unique needs and preferences. Whether providing nourishing meals, engaging in interactive play sessions, or offering gentle companionship and cuddles! If your pet happens to be a lizard, maybe no cuddling, but we will make sure they are well fed and happy! In addition to essential care tasks, we both offer various fun activities, specifically to cats and dogs so that they are entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive toy play, puzzle feeders, and laser point games. For dogs, this would include playing some tug of war, fetch, or frisbee! Every pet deserves the best care possible, and we are here to provide just that. If you need caring and responsible sitters who will treat your furry friend like family, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to care for your beloved furry family member! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I am a full-time student with flexibility in the afternoons, starting from 3 PM. This allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pets, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve For in-home pet care, we prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, and ensuring plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, we maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, disposing of waste, and keeping living areas tidy. We also offer personalized attention and follow the owner's specific care instructions to ensure their pet's well-being and happiness.

Alissa was fantastic with my two dogs. One of my dogs requires insulin and she was able to administer it without a problem. Felt very confident that they were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.

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.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 50+ years. In my 20s I bread dogs and throughout my life I’ve owned dogs from cocker spaniels to chihuahuas to labs, I truly love them all. A side hobby of mine is making organic, raw dog food for my own dogs that I’ve been doing for the past 8 years. I’m a substitute teacher and love animals. Since the school year is coming to an end I would like to fill me days taking care of dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. When I visit your home, I’ll provide loving care, plenty of attention, and follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and happy. From cuddles and playtime to walks and feeding, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own.

Madison was awesome. It took a little bit for Rhett to get acquainted with her, but once he did, they became best buds. Madison is reliable and pleasant, and most importantly, my dog enjoyed her company. Pattie and I recommend Madison for your pet sitting needs

It was a pleasure to have Rachel watch our dog over Christmas vacation. She gave our pup lots of snuggles and love, and even though we had a snowstorm while we were away she was still willing to come. (We were able to get a neighbor which was wonderful, so hopefully she got to stay home and snuggle up!) We will definitely be using her again!
