About: I have been taking care of my yorkie since he was a baby. I have 10 years of experience with dogs, I have had taken care of his siblings before they were given away and have all been healthy. I take my dog out 4 times a day and I free feed him. I have taken care of him when he couldn’t walk and needed medication and a lot of care, I can surely do that if needed. I am currently a full time college student with a lot of extra time after classes since I only work weekends! I have many breaks in between classes and am available fully after my classes. I love being able to take time out of my day away from school work and play with dogs, walk them, hang out:) I love having instructions for your pets daily routine! It makes it easier on the dogs to have similar daily activities and it creates a way for me to get to know your pup:) I am very respectful of your wishes because I would want my pup to be happy too!
About: I have been an avid animal lover since I received my first puppy as a child. I taught my beloved spaniel how to sit and lay down, and he taught me patience and responsibility. I cared for him until he sadly left us at 17 years old. My experience taught me that our fur babies are here for such a short time, and they deserve the absolute best we can give them. I have extended this mindset into my care of several other pets throughout my life including my four cats and bonus fur babies that I pet sit. My current clients range from small to large breed dogs. I have gained extensive experience with senior pets and the special needs that come with them as well as pets with medical needs. As a college student working part time, I hope to expand my business and do what I love full time. I currently work 9-5 part-time, leaving me with plenty of free time including weekends. I am flexible in my schedule and availability, and always strive to provide pets in my care with as much attention and care as they would receive in their homes. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of indoor space. I have four friendly cats of my own but available space to keep pets in my care separate in the case that they are less then enthusiastic about cats. I offer in house pet sitting as well to those who prefer their fur babies to remain in their own environment. I have a valid NJ Driver's license and a reliable vehicle large enough to transport big breeds. Additionally I have plenty of experience administering medications and treatments safely.
“Elaine has been amazing with our dog, Jax! He’s usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear she really understands dogs and takes her time to make them feel comfortable. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so glad we found her!”


“Tracy came by to walk my mini-poodle and went above and beyond. She came at the time she promised, checked in with me when Zoe slipped in some "mud" (narrator: it wasn't mud), and cleaned her up in the tub when they got home. Thanks, Tracy!”


“Trisha is such a precious find!! We Feel so so happy that our 2 high energy puppies are in her care daily!! Trisha always sends great updates about their time together!! Can not say enough about her!! Exceptional care and above all an amazing and sweet person!! ”

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was a child. It’s made me grow up to love them and would do anything for one in need. I’ve rescued multiple off the streets(including rabbits lol). I have my own pets whom are all rescues that I love so much. I only work nights on the weekends. I would love to have something to do involving animals during the days while my kids are in school. Fenced yard. Animal lover home. I also have friendly pets to give your fur baby some companionship while over but also have enough space if that’s not what they like.
About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets.

I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.
“Dulce came through for us on short notice, walking and feeding our two mini poodles with care and attention. Our pups were excited to see her again, as she previously took great care of them during our family vacation in March. We highly recommend Dulce for both daily walks and overnight stays. She's reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does.”
