“Jenny was the absolute best animal sitter I've ever had; if I could give her more stars I would! She was extremely professional, compassionate and knowledgable. She took extra loving care of my two kitties and my puppy, and did an outstanding job even with their medical and behavioral needs! She sent update photos anytime I asked and more. I know my kiddos were safe in her hands and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies.”



“Sheryl came to meet Izzie and Coquine and they seemed to take to her right away. She described her background and asked for information I hadn't thought to provide. She played with my playful border collie outside and became familiar with her routines and needs. Sheryl sent numerous pictures of both pets and kept me apprised of their activities. They both seemed very happy while I was gone. I felt confident that all would be well at home and the confidence was justified. I came home to find everything as usual- as if I had never left :-) I highly recommend her as a caretaker for your dear pets.”


“Brandon was an awesome sitter for us - he took great care of our 2 dachshunds and our house while we were away. He sent updates and was always responsive, and booking with Brandon was easy. We will definitely ask Brandon to come back next time we need a sitter!”


About: I have owned and loved dogs all of my life, including now. I love watching and caring for dogs of all sizes, tiny, extra large, and everything in between. I would love to watch your doggo and give them not only the necessary care, but all of the extra love and affection a dog needs when their owners go out of town. Long walks on the leash, tug-of-war, and cuddles on the couch are all my favorite ways to spoil a pooch. I’m also very good with puppies, as I’ve trained quite a few foster puppies and prepped them for new homes. And I’ve loved senior dogs like my childhood Pekingese, Buffy, who required medications every few hours due to her blindness, deafness, and anxiety incurred in old age. Looking forward to loving your fur baby! I work from home in Asbury Park, so I am available for walks during the day and can also come house sit as needed during the day if there is wifi and a place to work. I am tedious with pet care rules. I take special care, time, and attention to ensure your pets have everything they need when they are in my care. I also love snuggles and frequent playtime.

“Jessica is an awesome pet sitter! Jessica is great with dogs, she kept us updated, and allowed us to have a fantastic time, knowing our dogs and our cat were in such good hands.”


“Maggie was absolutely amazing taking care of my two dogs. Moreover, she is the consummate professions. She was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. I will absolutely use her in the future. Thanks, Maggie, for a great job.”


“April was so amazing dog sitting Dusty. She was kind and very helpful, considering Dusty is an older puppy with some ailments and medication needs. She took great care of Dusty and he loved being with April. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Skye pet sat for my dog Chevy in my home for nearly two weeks. He treated Chevy like he was his own pet, with great care and compassion. I was able to enjoy my time away much more knowing Chevy was in good hands. Skye sent me photos, videos and updates all the time. I highly recommend Skye for any of your pet needs!”


“Charlie was great to work with! She was communicative and kind. One of our boys decided to roll in goose poop soon after she arrived, and she took care in cleaning him and his harness/collar while we were away. We were very thankful for her careful attention to our pups!”


“Alexis did great with our 6 month old puppy. She was prepared and loved her energy. She brought her on walks, fed her, and made sure she got bathroom breaks and lots of play time. We will definitely be using Alexis again!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats (and hamsters and fish, lol) and have been caring for animals for over 30 years. I’m a part-time teacher and artist ready for side work caring for your fur babies. I love long walks and getting my steps in! I used to be a volunteer dog walker in the city for a rescue organization. I am currently working part time as an artist and teacher, so my availability is pretty flexible. I’m typically available for overnight stays after 8pm. I’m an animal lover and snugger. I’ll gladly send you pictures of your adorable pets and love long (or short) walks and getting my steps in! I’ve cared for kittens/puppies and elderly animals with various health conditions, along with your healthy middle aged fur friends.

About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was 8 years old, watching my neighbors pets when they were away. My college degree in Animal Science taught me the background information needed to care for medically complex animals, such as dogs with diabetes or cats with FeLV or FIV. I have experience administering injections, giving pills, wound care, and other medical treatment. If you’re looking for an experienced pet sitter to care for your beloved friend, look no further! I work remotely and can spend as much time with your pet as you need. On the weekends I have even more flexibility! Any time you need someone to take care of your pet, I’ll be available. I take safety very seriously and take precautions to ensure the safety of your pet and my own safety. When I first meet your pet, I introduce myself very slowly and pay close attention to body language. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I always double check locks while entering the home and leaving to ensure that no strangers can enter and no pets can get out.

“Melissa was excellent with our old quirky nervous Maltese, who had a very difficult life a while ago. She had a good sense of protecting him, caring for him and giving him space. By the end of the day he was eating out of her hand and playing with her with his favorite toy. We could not have been more pleased.”


About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free.

“Karin was fabulous with my dog Marco! She kept me updated the entire time I was gone with photos and messages, and you can tell she treats pets like they’re her own. I will definitely be rebooking :) thank you again Karin!!!”

“Kaelah came through for me the same day another sitter canceled! She followed all instructions given and made me feel comfortable choosing the house sitting option. Usually my dog gets sad when I’m away and he seemed to do pretty well with Kaelah watching him. I would use her again if needed!”
