“Kristy did a wonderful job checking in on our three kids. She went out of her way to make sure she had eyes on all three of them refresh their water bowls and their food - would use again and recommend 😻😻😻”

“If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and responsible dog sitter; Jim is your guy! Jim watched Kali for 4 days when we were away and he was fantastic with her and was very communicative. Our girl requires A LOT of attention and he delivered. Jim even texted to ask where the towels were when Kali got wet after a walk. We can’t thank Jim enough and will most certainly use him again! - Dawry, Shirley, & Kali D. ??”

“Frances did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were on vacation. With 3 Rescues inside and 2 TNR's outside, it's not easy to find someone to take that on. Everything went great and she kept us informed with texts & pics after each visit. She made our vacation so much more enjoyable.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small-animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs. I’ve even managed the care of over 100 horses at one time! Whether I’m riding in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’ve also cared for my own dogs my entire life, including my beagle Maggie and my mutt Princess. I take care of all of my friend's dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie on my photos page). I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first (they eat before I do!) I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday. I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness! Now that I graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday. *Hours Tuesday - Saturday change every week (I get 2 weeks in advance notice for these specific days) & will most likely be morning and evening walks/drop-ins (I am not available midday for check ins or walks during those specific days)* I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines (obviously let me know specific needs and I'll make it happen). I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!

“I have never left my kitty in the care of a stranger before, but when Wendy came to our home to meet us, I was reassured by her obvious love and understanding of cats. She connected with my kitty as soon as she walked in the door, and took excellent care of him while I was gone. Even during the recent blizzard she made sure he got all the care he needed.”

“We are new to Rover and were so nervous about leaving our two dogs with someone other than family. We went away for the weekend and a snow storm was expected to hit. My stress level was off the charts! We feel so fortunate to have found Emily. She went above and beyond to take care of our boys. She made a very stressful situation easier for my husband and I. She anticipated need and we made a plan together for the worst case scenario. The snow storm was challenging for us and Emily, but she took amazing care of our babies. We could not ask for a more caring, attentive person! Our boys don’t normally take to everyone, but at our meet and greet my most finicky dog Bongo jumped on her lap and that is how we knew we had met the right person for us. The snow storm was the universe testing how much trust I could give someone I just met… I’m so grateful for Emily’s kindness. Will definitely rebook over and over again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and truly love being around animals. From playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent cats and cuddly seniors, I’m comfortable with all personalities. I’m young, active, and enjoy making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priorities. Currently work retail full time 8 hours shifts with 2 days off a week that vary. I am available for house sitting however please keep in mind that I will have to leave your home to go to work. Although I can’t take care of pets in my home I have years of experience taking care of pets in other people’s home. I follow routines laid out and provide frequent updates

“Made the appointment, was flexible with the time, she worked great with my dogs - my one that I thought I needed to “introduce” to her ran over and immediately gave her affection”

“Hailey has been consistently great and is trustworthy. This is the third time she is spent time with my cat and I look forward to having her take care of Bruce again.”

About: Hi there! I’m a veterinary technician at Sea Girt Animal Hospital, where I’ve been caring for pets for the past five years. Working with animals is truly my passion—I love getting to know each dog and cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also skilled in giving medications (oral, topical, or injectable if needed) and keeping up with any special routines your pet may have. At home, I’m a proud dog mom to one wonderful pups who keep me smiling every day. Whether it’s going for walks, snuggling, playing fetch, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for—and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away! I am currently working at a veterinary hospital and attending school Monday-Thursday 4:30 to 9:30. I am free all day Wednesday until school and free all day Friday. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel right at home even when you’re away. As a veterinary technician with 5 years of experience at Sea Girt Animal Hospital, I’m trained to notice even small changes in a pet’s behavior or health. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for puppies and senior dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care for pets with special needs. In your home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine, keeping everything clean and consistent. In my home, pets have a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, belly rubs, and love. I also make sure to send lots of photo and message updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, regularly dog-sit for friends and family, and fully understand walk schedules, zoomies, and selective listening. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from couch potato to “just one more lap around the block”. Work a full-time job from 9-5, but have a hybrid schedule so I’m able to stop in when I am working from home, after work, and on the weekends. As an animal lover, I treat every pet like my own. I love to take walks, or just give your pet some company. I understand the importance of their schedules/routines so I follow care instructions closely to make sure your baby is supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

About: Dogs have always been part of my family, and I love building trust with each one I meet. I’m comfortable caring for pups of any age or temperament and make sure they get the perfect mix of exercise, attention, and affection. I share my home with four cats, so I’m experienced with managing different personalities. I’m reliable, observant, and always send updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I can easily schedule walks, visits, and feedings around my calls and make sure your pets get the attention and companionship they deserve. I’ve always lived with animals — all rescues! I currently share my home with four cats, including one who’s deaf, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I provide a calm, safe environment and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel secure and loved while you’re away.

“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”

“Ally is a wonderful dog sitter… She is dependable, efficient and clearly loves animals. More than once she has helped me when I was in a last-minute bind. I can relax knowing that Ally is taking care of my dog and that’s an invaluable gift.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had cats my whole life and am very familiar with their needs, personalities, and routines. I also have experience caring for horses, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, patience, and responsibility. I’m gentle, observant, and naturally good with animals. Although I don’t have much direct experience caring for dogs yet, I’m eager to learn, I follow instructions closely, and I provide a safe, loving environment for every pet. I am currently a full-time graduate student, but I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to easily accommodate you and come take care of your furry friends in the mornings and evenings. It is my goal to follow all directions given by the owner to ensure their pets have a safe environment and a fun time while their owner is away.
