About: I’ve cared for old dogs for 3 years and I have experience with younger dogs. I’ve groomed them, fed them and cleaned them up to the best of my ability. I’m working part-time, currently available to walk dogs, Monday thru Wednesday, ranging from early afternoon to early evening, able to work once a day for 30 minutes. I am always respectful of others, their personal lives, possessions and their pets, never wanting to impose and overstay my welcome. I work to care for the pets, and make sure that they are happy and healthy.

I am currently at home full time and would be available to be fully invested in any pup that I welcome into my home with love. I talk my baby to a dog park and would love to be accompanied by your fur baby and make our playtime that much more enjoyable.




17. Dana K.
About: Passionate and Reliable Dog Sitter Available About Me: As a dedicated dog lover who relocated to the NJ area from Michigan (13 years ago), I bring a lifelong passion for canine care to my dog sitting services. I work from home, allowing me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day, except for brief errands. Services Offered: I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the same love and attention. My home features a spacious, fenced-in backyard, ideal for playtime and exercise. Additionally, I am committed to taking dogs out at least once a day for a 1-mile walk along our enjoyable neighborhood route. To ensure a smooth transition and that your dog feels comfortable, I would like to meet your pet in advance of the sitting period (if time permits). This allows me to assess how our dogs interact and ensures a good match. I will also need to know of any special needs your dog may have, as well as emergency contact and veterinary information. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in a safe, nurturing environment. If you have any questions or specific needs, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pet! Since I work from home, my pets are an integral part of my daily routine. I’m fortunate to be with them for most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention. My schedule includes regular feeding times, daily walks, and engaging play sessions to keep them happy and healthy. During work breaks or between tasks, I make sure to interact with them, ensuring they get plenty of mental stimulation. When I need to step out for errands or appointments, I plan to keep these absences brief and ensure they have everything they need before I leave. Overall, the flexibility of working from home allows me to seamlessly incorporate pet care into my day. When caring for dogs, I treat each one with the same level of attention and care as I would my own pets. My commitment includes: Safe Environment: I ensure a secure and comfortable environment for the dogs, making necessary adjustments to accommodate their needs and preferences. Feeding Schedule: I adhere strictly to the feeding schedule provided by the client, ensuring that each dog receives the appropriate nutrition at the specified times. Personalized Care: I offer personalized attention and engagement, addressing any specific care instructions or routines outlined by the client. By providing a high standard of care and maintaining clear communication with pet owners, I strive to ensure that each dog is well-cared for and content.


18. Alejandra S.
“I can’t recommend Alejandra enough as a pet caregiver! She took care of my giant breed dog (130 lbs) several times, with each stay lasting around three weeks. Not only did she handle my dog’s size and energy effortlessly, but she also made sure he was happy and well-cared for. Alejandra is responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets are comfortable and loved while you’re away!”


19. FUAT G.
“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog, I can’t recommend Fuat enough! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals. He’s super attentive and makes sure our pup feels right at home. One of the best parts? He takes our dog on these awesome long walks! It’s so nice knowing our furry friend is getting plenty of exercise and having a great time exploring. Fuat is also really careful with feeding requirements, making sure our dog gets just what he needs. He’s super responsive too. He shares daily updates with photos, which we absolutely love! It really puts our minds at ease knowing how well everything is going. We can always count on Fuat to provide the best care to our dog.”
