About: I’ve only ever known a household with pets! From cats and dogs, to hamsters and lizards. I truly love animals and have easily cared for family and friend’s beloved pets. Feedings, potty breaks, litter or crate cleans, I can do it all! I am currently a part time, online college student. So I can easily work pet care into my schedule with appropriate time given to prepare. In your home, I can always ensure that your pet’s environment is well kept and clean, including crates, food bowls, or litter boxes/outdoor spaces. I am able to brush your pet regularly and ensure their routine is kept for them.

About: I worked in a Veterinary office for over 10 years. We have a large fenced-in yard for dogs to play in. My daughter, Libby, and I will work together to make your dog feel welcomed and loved. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to this; except for the occasional trip to visit my children, out of state. We have a large fenced yard for dogs to run around in. I have grandchildren who live with me and they will enjoy playing with your doge.

Yin was awesome! She came on time, fed my puppy, took him outside, cleaned up his messes, and washed his food bowl. She showed care and attention. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined. She communicated effectively and kept me informed. I will definitely book with her again.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I currently have a mini goldeen doodle who I have trained myself! He loves all his furry friends and loves giving kisses as well! I currently work from home so I have lots of time to spend with any pup and take on potty breaks! We also get in some nap time as well! For day care I am available from 7am to 7pm! If you need any extra hours I can make arrangements with an extra fee! I have a decently sized apartment that has lots of room to play. Hulk loves to share all his toys and play with his furry friends! I have a gated area for my kitchen as well!

Lori is a wonderful and kind person. Met her a few weeks before I went away and her personal immediately put me at ease. I’m a helicopter mom … lol … but Lori took great care of my fur babies and kept me informed every day. And she went the extra mile by taking the garbage and the recycling with her because she didn’t want the house to smell bad when I get home. Amazing !! She’s coming back in a few weeks to watch them again!

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’ve cared for pets since I was 7 years old, gaining experience as a loving pet owner rather than a professional sitter. I’ve raised dogs and cats of all kinds and truly treat every animal like family. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets because they know I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy. currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, but I always make time for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 5:30pm on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends for boarding or extended stays. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to make new friends. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable space to play and relax. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or crate preferences you have to make sure your pet feels right at home. I care for every animal as if they were part of my own family — with patience, love, and attention to detail.

Gary took such great care of my animals. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so there’s a lot to do and remember. He took the time to get to know all of them and their routines.
