“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”


“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We can't praise Mike enough for his incredible pet-sitting services! He has stayed over and also dropped in for visits. He has taken care of our three dogs and two cats flawlessly. Mike not only follows our instructions to the T, but also has a remarkable ability for understanding our pets' needs even without detailed guidance. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing our furry crew are in such capable hands. His warm and caring approach makes it clear that he genuinely loves animals, and our pets adore him! If you're looking for a reliable and skilled pet sitter, we highly recommend Mike. You won't regret it!”


“Kimberly was great with our dog. She came at the hours she said she would, took very good care of our dog, sent us pictures and was very professional. I would highly recommend her! I have used rover before and had a bad experience. I was nervous to use the site again but I'm glad I gave it another chance.”


About: My experience with pets stems from growing around them. It was my responsibility to make sure they were upkept. This is why it feels natural for me to include them in my life. I'm currently working from home and would like some pets in the house while I work for emotional support. I treat animals very well and they naturally love my energy. I live in a safe and secure location that is pet friendly. We also have a dog park and plenty of space to take care of your pet.

About: I've taken care of dogs 15+ years for friends and family. They have relied on me for walking feeding and bathing their pets. I am able to provide oral medication. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I love walking and giving love to my own pets. I will treat your pet as my own. I take my own dogs for walks morning afternoon and night, and feed them regularly and provide them with a comfortable and loving home with fun and love teaching them tricks.

“Veronica was so great with Sylvie! Loved the photo updates and would definitely re-book with her. Really appreciate the drop in and Veronica absolutely gave me the peace of mind that my cat will be cared for and fed :)”


About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Hero 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

About: I have 15+ years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up owning cats, but I have walked and watched dogs overnight.

About: I am a dog mom and animal lover. I have a lot of experience caring for animals. I started out watching pets for friends and family. I worked at Camp Bow Wow, a doggy day care center, for 4 years. There I spent time playing, feeding, and picking up after dogs of all ages and sizes. I was also a volunteer at St. Huberts Animal Welfare Center. I took care of the cats and helped the dogs get exercise by taking them for long walks. I have a 10 year old shih tzu/poodle mix named Dusty who I adopted. I have a full time job so my availability is mainly nights and weekends. I try to keep my calendar up to date so please refer to it I can take the dog on walks or crate them as needed. I will make sure they stay on their daily schedule of potty breaks and feeding.

About: I grew up in a household with every type of pet, from hyperactive kittens, to rabbits, to cranky senior dogs. I’ve been pet sitting and fostering since I was 13 years old and my goal is always getting to know every pet on a personal level and figuring out what works best for them. I know every animal is unique and what works for one will not work for others. When you entrust me with your furry friend, know that they will be getting careful personalized attention from someone experiences in every type of pet personality. I am currently a college student home for the summer months. I have open availability most weekends and weekdays from 11am-11pm unless otherwise stated on my page. I have a small two bedroom apartment with roommates so I typically do not accept boarding offers in my own home with rare exceptions. I am happy to travel anywhere within a 20 mile radius to give your pet the care they deserve. I treat every pet like my own but have full respect for the owner’s rules and boundaries. I am happy to crate your pet by request and follow feeding schedules when provided. I am all about communication and am very flexible on the type of care I provide as it is individualized on a pet and owner basis. Let me know how I can best help you!

About: I’ve been watching dogs for years, and I’ve had one almost my entire life. Neighbors, families and friends have always relied on me with their dogs. For the last two years, I owned a beautiful golden retriever that unfortunately recently passed away due to a rare disease called mega-esophagus which developed into aspirational pneumonia. With that being said, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs with special needs. LGBTQ+ friendly 🏳️🌈 I work primarily from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m available mostly any day, any time, except before 11am. I will make your pet my priority! If interested, feel free to view my professional LinkedIn profile by searching Eric Barbieri in South Amboy, NJ. Relax while you’re gone and know that you’re pup is in good hands. I prefer to only watch 2 dogs at a time, unless the owner has more, but a maximum of 3.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life now . From having a family dog to taking care of my own dog. I would take them for walks to the dog park if needed give them a bath and feed them. From time to time I personally take care of my friends dogs while they are at work. Taking them to the dog parks , exercising them playing with the ball giving them baths treats and all.

I have a fenced yard as well as 2 dogs who will help keep your little fur baby active throughout most of the day. I have dogs toys as well as balls and fun activities to play with your dogs .

About: Hi, your dogs next best friend here. I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with 2 Rottweilers and a poodle. 8 years ago I became a fur momma to a very spoiled Shih Tzu. I have watched/cared for dogs for my friends and family, from as small as a Chihuahua to as big as a Rottweiler. I have basic experience in grooming basic dog commands also with giving pill form medication and eye drops. I work on a rotating 4 on 4 off schedule. On days I do work I am out of work by 4:30pm. But with so much free time on my days off, I couldn't think of a better way to spend my off days than with your fur baby. I am detail oriented and will learn your fur babies habits quickly. My main goal is to gain your fur babies trust as quickly as possible as well as yours. A happy fur baby is a happy fur parent. Each fur baby/ fur parents needs and wants are all different and I will do my best to mimic any schedule or basic training that is in place for your fur baby. As a dog mom, I know how scary it can be to leave your dog with someone new, my top priority will be to make your dog and you feel as safe with me as if your fur baby was my own.
