8. Jasraj S.
“We feel so lucky to have found Jessie as our dog sitter! He has been helping us for a while now, and we can truly say he is awesome. Jessie is a genuine dog lover-our 4 year old absolutely adores him and is always excited to see him. He goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We always have peace of mind knowing our furry family member is in such good hands. We highly recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”


9. Talia R.
“Talia helped me care for my two dogs. Amber is very petite and a bit of a diva (she is very needy and does not like getting her paws wet or dirty) and Bouzer who was an older dog. She helped me walk both animals and she has watched them numerous times. She has also helped me give Bouzer his insulin shot for his diabetes so she is well trained in dealing with dogs who may have special needs or that are older. She is a very sweet girl who loves animals and is very nice.”


10. Jackson E.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life, and i’ve been caring for them almost as long! I regularly handle dogsitting needs within my family and I’m hoping to extend that help to others! I’m home all week and have plenty of time to care for animals! Several walks a day, regular meals, and healthy socialization can be offered around the clock My apartment building has a large backyard we all use to walk our dogs, if your dog likes meeting others they’ll make lots of friends! If not, there are private walkways for use too.

“I highly recommend Shauntia as a pet caregiver! She is responsible, loving, and truly cares about the well-being of animals. My pets always feel safe and happy under her care.”


12. Dulce L.
“Dulce is extremely responsible and knows so much about pets. She will take great care of your dog and send pupdates to ease the anxiety of leaving your pet while you’re gone. She has given me advice and helped me teach my dog new commands.”


13. Mike W.

“Mike was so great! He is so patient and kept me updated on my pup. It was my first time leaving her with someone so this experience was a little scary for me but he did so well in making me feel like my Ivy is okay! Will defiantly book with him again confidently when I travel again.”


14. Margarita G.
“Margarita has been my 3 dog’s sitter for when I go on business trips or vacations. They love going to Margarita’s house. Can’t go wrong with her.”




15. Trisha L.

16. Carleigh M.

18. Olivia O.
About: I am a very experienced dogsitter. I owned a dogsitting business back in my home town Bloomington IL. You can totally trust me with your pet because I’m definitely someone who’s reliable and responsible. I do work full time M-F from 8am-5pm. Outside of these hours, I am flexible. Just message me, and we can chat about it! ☺️ I will carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner while providing a loving and fun environment for your beloved pet! 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶


19. Daniela A.
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.

About: I grew up with a Schnauzer who lived for fifteen years. I know the love, care, and attention dogs require. I also know that dogs are not just pets, they are key family members! I am here to help and care for your babies! I am currently working a remote part-time job. This makes my schedule very flexible and also easily available to dog sit in your home! I love dogs so much and would love to help out. I believe open communication is very important here. Every dog is different and I am able to mold my care to your dogs needs. This is the same for your home, I am very respectful of any house rules that you require.
