About: With 18 years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve spent years volunteering at local SPCAs, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and other animals in need. For over a decade, I’ve also been walking dogs regularly—rain or shine—ensuring they get the exercise, stimulation, and love they deserve. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, your pet will be treated like family. I’m a stay at home Mom with school-age kiddos so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits and walk requests. Will do my best to help out last-minute!

From playtime to feedings and snuggles, I treat every pet like family while you’re away.

About: NJ Residents. I've been around dogs my entire life, including Labradors, Beagles, and Labrador mixes. Right now, I share my home with a 97-pound Labrador retriever named Hunter, an orange tabby cat named Flash and a black tabby named Bear. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I'm comfortable walking, feeding/fresh water, administering medication, and showering your furry friend with love and attention. I'm an elementary school teacher with summers off, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday. Weekends can be arranged if needed. Please note, I won’t be available the week of July 21st, as I'll be out of state on vacation. Your furry companions are my number one priority. I’m committed to following all of your instructions closely and will ensure a safe, loving, and dependable environment for them. You can count on me to be reliable and attentive to their needs.

About: Local to Riverton, I love to take my own pup on walks through the neighborhood. If you’re looking for a reliable dog walker, let’s chat! I currently work from home and make my own schedule. My availability and flexibility will help make it easy to align with your pet’s needs. I have a fenced in yard, a large dog crate, and a pet friendly home. I also love to offer toys and treats if permitted.

About: Hi! I'm Melissa! A little bit about me. Growing up, our family always had dogs and cats. Since the moment I was born, I was raised alongside dogs and cats and at one point in my childhood we had three large breed dogs and 2 cats at once, so fun and crazy! This always nurtured my deep appreciation for animals from an early age. One of our family dogs even had three litters of puppies during my teenage years, giving me hands on experience caring for dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes. Today, I have my own dog in my own family home, a 76 pound English Coonhound rescue from Arkansas. Despite his high energy levels, strength and tendency to pull on the leash, I handle him confidently and independently. I adopted him through Philly Rescue Angels Inc., where I am also an approved foster. Family and friends have relied on me for years from a young age to let out, walk, feed, and play with their dogs whether it be when they need help on short notice or go on an extended vacation. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve had cats throughout my life and have fostered them as well. One of my cats even needed daily insulin injections for diabetes and I always handled that myself. My background has given me a well rounded understanding of animal care, and I take pride in my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and responsible care for all of your pets! Since I am a nurse, I also understand most medical conditions and medication administration and precautions for pets as well, they're more similar to us than we realize! I am a registered nurse whom only works 3 days per week. I am quite flexible in my schedule and can move around my days easily if requested! I have a fenced in yard. I have a friendly dog to play with your pup! And an extra large crate if you need your pet crated at all. Pets are allowed on furniture in my house as well!

About: I have been an owner and lover of dogs and cats my whole life! I currently have two cats and one dog of my own, and I often look after my parents’ two dogs as well. I look forward to meeting and caring for plenty of other lovable pets! I currently work full-time during the day, but am free most nights of the week! It will be no inconvenience to request pet services from me at a short notice. I am very comfortable going into customer’s homes to look after their pets! I can feed them, play with them, take them for walks, and pick up after them.

““Mr. Mike” is just wonderful with Bucky! He goes the extra mile to make sure Bucky gets his exercise and is well taken care of. Definitely has exceeded expectations!”


“Roxanne is the best! So attentive to the furry babies and always gets the best photos of our pup smiling from ear to ear! Highly recommend and will book again in the future.”


About: Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I’m a dog mom to three pups —each with their own quirks, sensitivities, and needs. I’ve cared for senior dogs, energetic puppies, anxious rescues, and everything in between. I’m gentle, intuitive, and patient, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and what helps them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just being a calm presence, I show up with love and consistency. I’m experienced with multiple-dog households, and I understand how to read dog body language and support peaceful interactions. I also have experience with basic meds, supplements, and special diets. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your animals with the same care I give my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life—I have three dogs of my own, so I’m used to regular walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my rhythm, and I genuinely enjoy it. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused time to your pets without feeling rushed. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. Being around animals brings me peace and joy. Spending time with them—whether walking, sitting, or simply being present—is something I genuinely look forward to each day. When I care for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their routine and create a calm, familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or favorite toys—so your pet feels safe and well cared for in your absence. I take the time to connect with each animal at their pace, offering gentle energy, affection, and attention. I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s boundaries, and I always keep things tidy and secure. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I make sure your pet is comfortable, loved, and never feels alone. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.


About: IMPORTANT: I DO NOT TAKE SAME DAY REQUESTS UNLESS YOU ARE A REPEAT CLIENT OR I'M ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH YOUR DOGS. Also, If you are new, i need a meet an greet before i book any requests. Please add more to the base contact. The later away the stay is, the more likely a booking can happen due to the meet n greet requirements. Hello, I'm William Patrick Covert, but feel free to call me Billy. in fact, I prefer it. I love dogs, and have once owned two dogs as a kid (at separate times). I seem to get along with all the dogs in the neighborhood for the most part and would love looking after them for you. My home has a doggy door the perfect size for small dogs to go outside into an enclosed backyard area. Right now, I currently look after my Aunt's dog, and am looking forward to looking after more. I am willing to accept puppies, as long as they are house trained. While I may not have any dogs at my own residence, there are other dogs in neighboring houses that your dog may or may not meet. As for the fence, since this site won't allow me to choose more than one fence type, the fence i have is actually mixed. they are 4 different fences, so, in a way, I have all 3 types. see the photos section for proof. I can also do cat care as drop in only. That includes Feeding, litter cleaning and playing (if the cat wants to play) Me and my family currently work part time, but there is usually always someone here with your pet. We do occasional outside trips, and during diner time we separate the different dogs just incase some food aggression comes into play. I have a fenced yard with security cameras all around it. I can keep an eye on the dogs from a distance if needed. We also have baby gates to keep different dogs sperate if needed. When coming to your house, your dog will not leave my sight

About: For some reason, animals respond to me as you will understand during our interview. It is my deep understanding, love, and regard which sets me apart from other sitters. I’m currently retired and after 30+ years of having the pleasure of helping humans, I decided to dedicate my free time to the safety and care of your pet. My beloved Remy passed two years ago; created a void that has been recently filled by two amazing bonded sisters - cats! We rescued the ladies who fill our days and nights with interesting antics. When Remy ruled, he had the run of fenced in corner property, ate only nutritious meals, enjoyed two walks daily and traveled extensively with us to Canada and back! Today, the Cats live in an environment filled with windows, perches, toys (lots!) and lots of love!
