“Katie was awesome! We needed drop in visits for our 2 cats very last minute and she was able to help us in a pinch! Will definitely use her services again if we ever go out of town. 10/10 thank you soooo much. You are our vacation hero!”
About: Staying down the shore and need a dog sitter nearby? Hi! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a guidance counselor in the Toms River Regional School District. During the summer, I have flexible hours which could fit your specific needs and are 10 minutes away from the beach! With being off of school and primarily part time work in the summer, I am usually home and are able to provide love, attention and care to your loved one! I have a large development dog friendly along with Cattus Island being a 5 minute drive for walks / play. I am primarily home and would be able to provide your pup with attention and care.
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
About: I have several years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for both cats and dogs—from energetic puppies to senior companions. My own cat is 17 years young! I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention, just like family. I know how reassuring updates can be, so I always share regular photos and check-ins. You can count on me to care for your pet with love and reliability. Flexible work schedule, I can typically work around you! Weekdays and weekends available. Whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay, I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines closely—feeding, walking, playing, and administering any needed medication according to their instructions. I’m respectful of the home and try to leave everything as I found it. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Morgan was great for multiple check ins with my dog, Juno! She showed up on time, was great with communication with me, and dealt with her crazy energy levels. She gave medication and food at the times we asked. She was great and we’d definitely use her again!”
“Joclyn was great with Buster and communicated with us really well to understand his "quirks". We came home to a happy dog (and cats and fish!)!! We would definitely recommend Joclyn to anyone and would have her back anytime we need someone to help us out with Buster!”
About: I’m currently studying to be a dog trainer, I’ve been around many pets my whole life, I love animals. I’ve taken care of family and friends pets, I love all breeds and I’m ready for any challenge! I’m only studying at the moment so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. Being around pets it’s an important part of my learning process as a trainer. I have a big fenced yard and a dog full of energy that would love to have a friend to play with so your dog would be well entertained. If I’m in another home I’ll follow your schedule and your dogs will have all their needs fulfilled.
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“Megan was amazing, my cats are shy but she managed to get them both to come out for her at her first visit, sent pics and updates each visit which is so great for your piece of mind when you are away and knowing your pets are ok! Very professional and caring, highly recommend! Just booked another stay with Megan!”
About: With years of hands on experience I understand the unique needs of our furry friends, your pets comfort and joy are my top priorities! From daily walks and playtimes to personalized attention! Pet care integrates into my daily routine as I start the day with morning walks and feedings, and there needs balanced with work and personal activities. This allows me to stay attentive! In my home my two dog are fed twice a day with treats after each time they go outside, they also have many toys and time to play. They get their teeth brushed every night and medication twice a month. This keeps them happy and healthy!
“Stephanie is amazing! I can’t emphasize how much of a delight it was to have Stephanie watch our two cats during our extended vacation. For every visit, we received detailed notes on their overall well-being (including medicine administered, meals, potty, and playtime), on top of witty and entertaining narratives of our cats interactions and behaviors (and lots of much appreciated photos!). When we returned home to our fur babies, they were happy and healthy and we could tell Stephanie provided the highest quality care and attention to our cats. In addition, our home was super clean and well-cared for by Stephanie. The cats and I highly recommend Stephanie!”

“Jacklyn stepped up once again to handle a very last minute request for multiple days of check in care. Her transparency all throughout this process helps put my mind at ease knowing our Bella is getting great care.”
About: I had a dog for 5 years and now have time to care for others' dogs so you can live your life knowing your dog is well cared for and in a happy home! I work from home so I have time to give your pup all of the attention he/she needs. I do this with doggy day care and boarding. I have plenty of room for a dog to wander in my house. I have a dog run in my backyard and I am getting a fence in June. My street is safe for walks (sidewalks) and there is a dog park nearby to let your pup run and play fetch! Of course, as long as you are comfortable with that.
About: With 30 years of pet sitting under my belt, I’ve seen it all—tail wags, purrs, and the occasional goat mischief! From pampered pups to sassy cats and quirky farm friends, I’ve built a life around loving and caring for animals of all kinds. Trustworthy, reliable, and always ready with a treat (or two), I make sure your pets feel right at home while you're away. Think of me as your furry (and hooved) family’s favorite human! Life doesn’t always follow a 9-to-5, and neither do pets! I offer care to fit your schedule—including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether your pet needs a sunrise stroll, a dinner-time cuddle, or care during a weekend getaway, I’m here to help—on your time. I also do sniff spots - basically it’s like a private dog park for you in my backyard. Message me for details. When it comes to caring for your pets, trust is everything—and I’m committed to earning and keeping that trust every day. I’m neat, organized, and always follow the guidelines you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or favorite playtime spots, I take every detail seriously. Above all, your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own, with love and care every step of the way. Please note for the safety of all pets and people proof of your pet’s up to date vaccination records will be required.
