“Mike, where do we begin. You are a wonderful person, he is SO prompt and on time. We truly appreciate that because at the end of the day, our dog who cannot help themselves needs to utilize the bathroom.

“Kim is the best dog walker I could have ever asked for! She cares for my dog and treats my dog like her own! Whenever my dog was sick, she would message me and see how my dog was feeling and if there is anything she can do to help! She is always extremely kind and flexible to my schedule! I would recommend her 1000 times over to anyone because I know your pet would be in great hands with Kim!

About: I love dogs and will provide excellent care for your furry friends. I had my dog for 16 years and always made sure he was well taking care of. I also cared for three large dogs over the summer. Which included feeding, walking and playing with them everyday. I am a very caring and loving person. I am a teacher so late afternoon walks and care will be my specialty. I love playing, petting and walking dogs. I look at all dogs as a part of someone’s family, they are more than just a pet they are a loving family member. Your dog will be treated with the best care as of it was my own dog. Thank you and I look forward to meeting new furry friends!

“Rebecca and Jonathan were great with Betsy and Hank. Incredibly timely and responsive, and great to the pups. I’d recommend them to anyone!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.

“Shawn has been walking my two dogs 3-4 times a week for over a year now. My boys adore him and he has become a part of our family. He always makes me feel like they are safe and in good hands; the love he has for them is as if they’re his very own. Shawn always sends daily updates on the dogs activities, whether ate/drank/pooped (lol)/etc. I know I can only speak for myself, but I think most people would agree that it is very hard to find someone you can trust the life of your loved one with. And for me, Shawn is exactly that person. I trust him with their lives. I know how much he cares for all animals, and I know I can always count on him. I would recommend him to anyone, and so would my boys.”


About: Your dogs care is my top priority! I take on 1 household at a time so your fur babies will get all the care and attention they deserve and require. My name is Megan, and I am a lover of all animals! I had 3 cats for 17 years, and since they have passed, I very much miss having animals in my everyday life. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to spend time with your fur babies and will treat them like my own. In addition to owning cats, over the years, I have volunteered in animal shelters and have pet sat caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for animals needing iv fluids, with hygiene specifications, daily medication, and special diets. I have experience in massage therapy and will happily give your little one a therapeutic rub down! My attention to detail and love for animals makes me a very hands-on caregiver. I currently work in my towns school district (typically M-F 7am-2pm) just 2 miles down the road. I am off summers, major and religious holidays and am able to be home at 10:15 during my lunch break for 30min walks/visits so your pup would never be left alone for more than 3 hrs on days I work. I will always be transparent about my schedule and only ever accept jobs where I know I can give your animal the attention they deserve. I will be your pets main caretaker but I live with my retired mother, Donna, who is around at times to lend a helping hand. I am a homebody who also loves the outdoors. When I am not home, I love to go on hikes, visit parks, and take walks in nature. I prefer the company of animals to people, so I can assure you they will never want for attention or affection! I welcome as much information/details about your pets routine as possible so I can keep them feeling safe, happy, and regulated during their stay. Other than the few hours I may be at work, I spend close to every other minute with the pups I care for. I welcome your pets to sit with me on the couch and sleep with me at night! Unless it is your wish to keep them off furniture, where I go, they go :) I have a gated yard (44in) for your dog to run and play. I live on a long quiet street, great for our walks. I am close to several parks. I am happy to give your pet whatever activity level you desire and they feel comfortable with. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep our little buddy happy! I have a close family member who was a vet tech and has a vast working knowledge I can call upon if ever necessary. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away!

“Dominique took great care of our baby and even hung around to give maya one of her bones (at our permission :) ). Maya will definitely book again!”


About: I've taken care of 3 dogs over the course of 15 years. Loved them dearly. Now I care for my sister's Bernese Mountain Dog, on weekends. I now own two cats, becoming both a dog and cat lover. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as puppies, and cats of all ages, and will love your fur child like they're my own! I work full time as a technical fashion designer in NYC. I always have freetime daily Friday - Sunday, and most weekdays after 6pm. I can walk, feed, play and even care for sickly fur babies if needed. I live on a large apt complex with plenty of grass and trees, alongside a river. I also have an outside balcony to just relax on. Your dog will enjoy the outdoors/ long walks during warm months, and even cold months too.

About: I work as a physical therapy tech and server. I currently own a dog that needs special health accommodations. I am an animal lover and willing to help accommodate your fur family any way! I currently work two jobs and have availability in the morning, or on weekends the afternoon.I typically work the evenings about 3-4 days a week so I am flexible! I have a fenced yard, and typically like to hang or play with my pups in the yard. If your dog requires any special treatment I can accommodate that as well, as i’m familiar with different types of leashes, leads and dog runs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and am a huge dog lover. As I have yet to get a pup of my own, I’ve been sitting for family, friends, and family friends for more than 5 years, where I mainly housesit. I’ve had experience watching dogs of all ages, from grumpy seniors with medication to lively puppies who need extra clean up time, to anxious Covid babies. I am very detail-oriented as I respect that each dog has their personal routine and want to ensure that not much is disrupted for them when I visit/stay. I understand the importance of keeping in contact with owners (only to the extent that you wish to be contacted) throughout the day. I guarantee that I will take plenty of photos of your pet and will be happy to share them! Note: I am based near Princeton, NJ but have moved my service location to be able to capture NYC for housesits. I work fully remotely, so I'm flexible to working with your pet's schedule when housesitting. I'm available for afternoon walks, or to come to housesit from the evenings usually. I'm also willing to travel to housesit (I've travelled to DC before!), though this would require travel coverage as part of compensation. ***For house sits of 1 week or longer, I ask owners to support in covering my meals. Gift cards or a stocked fridge are very much appreciated! *** I tend to ask clients for a document with their pet's daily routine, and how their behaviours are. I will care for your pets as you would advise to care for them in order to maintain consistency and not confuse them. Afterall, I am the guest in staying in their space should I be housesitting. For walks and drop-ins, I would like to also respect your pet's routine and ensure that they are comfortable and at ease.

About: Pet lover at your service. I am located in Sayreville, NJ with a life time of experience with animals. I am not a certified trainer, but I take pride in my 2 Australian Shepherds that I’ve had a blast training tricks and obedience. I am happy to assist with basic commands and obedience during your furbabys stay or walk as much as I can. Alternatively, I can provide a safe and loving interaction with as much or little exercise your fur child requires. I am happy to accommodate any breed or size, as long as your dog shows no signs of aggression. Please reach out to me with any questions. Thank you for your time! My schedule is very open and flexible to take on new clients for house visits and walks. Depending on how many clients I have, I will try my best to fit you in! With two fur babies of my own, I understand how important it is to find a trust worthy sitter. Every animal deserves to have respect, love, and positive interactions. I like to ask clients to make a helpful list including personality traits, allergies, likes and dislikes, so I can care for your baby appropriately. I can provide one on one attention to your pet if he or she is timid, senior, or not well socialized with other animals.
