About: I work a steady 9–5 on weekdays and have weekends free, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent pet care. With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.
“Diane was so helpful and our cats loved her! She checked in daily and always gave us an update with cute photos. We will definitely book her again! Highly recommended. Thank you!”
About: Hey there! I want the best for your pets! When you can’t be there to care for them, I’m the extra hand you need to carry out their care just the way you’d like it. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, you name it! If your pup has specific care needs, I can assist while you’re away. I do have a dog of my own so if your dog needs a playmate, let me know! If you need house-sitting, Meelo would be coming along with me. He is a 23-lb shih-tzu/poodle mix and well-trained! If you read this far, message me for house-sitting at a discounted rate! I’m currently a student at Kean University and I have an on-campus job as well. During breaks and between classes, I’d love to care for your pup! Your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance to me. You, the owner, know best about their care and with your help, I can love on your pets with a routine that’s familiar to them and within their boundaries. Also seeing as I may be in your home, I’m very sensitive to a client’s boundaries and will always check in for permission for things around the house.
“Rachell took amazing care of our cat on our last vacation. She even came here during a really bad storm and flood to make sure our cat was fed and happy. I will definitely be calling her again next time we go on a trip!”
About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.
“Nicolette was very caring and attentive to my pups. She kept me updated on their activity and well-being with a full report and pictures. I highly recommend her and will book again.”
About: As a hard working physician assistant student I bring the same kindness, attentiveness, love, and care to your pets as I do to my patients. I am in my clinical year of PA school which allows me to have flexible hours and the ability to care for my pet and yours too. I have a comfortable home where your pet can hang out and play with my pet, and a nice yard where they can explore together.
