“Another amazing time Colleen dog sat for us, she was great and very easy to reach.”


“Brittany was wonderful! We needed someone on shorter notice and she was super flexible and accommodating for both our doggos. They seemed very happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Brittany!!”


“Courtney has been outstanding with my dog Clover! He was so happy the first time they met he cried when she left. Courtney is wonderful with his puppy energy and is very patient. I’m so happy to have found her!”


About: As anyone who has animals knows, our pets are our family. In addition to our beautiful daughter, my husband and I have one dog, two cats, and a bunny 🐶🐱🐱🐰 I have plenty of experience with both cats and dogs as they’ve always been a part of my life. Unfortunately, we recently lost my cat of 14 years after a 2 year battle with kidney disease and diabetes. So, I have extensive experience with senior care in animals as well (administering medications, IV fluids, etc). I’m a teacher, so I’m off for the summer! ☀️ I’m home with my daughter during the day. If she can accompany me, I’m available any day any time. If you’re not comfortable with my coworker, I can be available in the late afternoon/evening once my husband gets home 😊 As a dog and cat mom myself, I know how important it is to feel like your pets are being well taken care of when you’re not there. Our pets are our children, and I promise to care for them as if they were my own!

“Alyssa took care of Chip as if it waa her own dog. My dog was instantly attached to her. She has a fun personality that your pet will love! Will definitely call her again!”


About: I have been dog sitting in different capacities since I was in high school. I started off dog sitting for family and neighbors and now have a base of returning clients, one of which has show dogs. I have even been hired by the IWCA (Irish Wolfhound Club of America) to watch puppies and walk dogs at an international show. I have a base knowledge for training basic skills such as sit, down, stay, come and so on. I also have some experience working with reactive dogs and will work at their pace. Bottom line, I will love your fur babies like they're my fur babies! I work full time, but I am usually home by 4 pm so evenings and weekends are when I am most available. I can be flexible though! My calendar is currently open through 2025. If you want to book in advance for 2026, please message me and I will let you know if I can accommodate your dates! In my home, it's the dogs house and I just live there lol! I understand that how I train my dogs and the rules in my house don't work for everyone. When I am sitting for you, I will follow your rules and guidance for how you want your home run. My number one concern is safety followed closely by respect. Additionally, if you're a new dog owner looking for some guidance I am more than happy to help out where I can!

“Stephanie did a great job of caring for Sasha during the drop in visits. She kept me updated and sent plenty of pics. Sasha loved her and was happy to spend time with her. I will definitely be reaching out again”


About: I’ve only ever known a household with pets! From cats and dogs, to hamsters and lizards. I truly love animals and have easily cared for family and friend’s beloved pets. Feedings, potty breaks, litter or crate cleans, I can do it all! I am currently a part time, online college student. So I can easily work pet care into my schedule with appropriate time given to prepare. In your home, I can always ensure that your pet’s environment is well kept and clean, including crates, food bowls, or litter boxes/outdoor spaces. I am able to brush your pet regularly and ensure their routine is kept for them.

“Anibet is now a trusted family friend! She has taken care of my special needs girl cat for the past few trips I have taken and the care has been exceptional. I cannot speak highly enough to her character and care when it comes to animals, particularly cats. My cat has seizures and needs medication management twice a day and I feel extremely confident that she will be okay in Anibets care. Highly recommend!!”


“Celestine did a fabulous job caring for my two cats this past weekend. They took good care of them, kept them company, fed them, and cleaned up two messes they made. I really appreciated Celestine's care and would definitely hire them again.”


About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets. Whenever they went of vacation, unable to walk they’re fury friend, or dr appointments. I love them all so much and treat them like my own! I work part-time. I’m very flexible which noticed with time. If it’s last minute I will always find a way to make it work. I’m very understandable I would try to get their trust, be playful, and try to make them feel very comfortable with me since we’re going to be around each other for some time

“Kellie was a fantastic sitter! She demonstrated professionalism, enthusiasm, and punctuality when watching my 2 cats. I will be asking her to watch my babies again!”


“Highly recommended. She went above and beyond.”


“Berthie was phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Berthie again. Continuously updated me with pictures and blurbs about how my dog was doing. My dog is adjusting to a new apartment and had been having accidents and Berthie not only updated me on her status, but ensured he would clean up if she had any accidents. I 100% would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter/Walker.”


“Great flexibility, very communicative, has been available at the last minute, follows directions and always leaves great updates with pictures. We LOVE working with her!”


“Pamela did an amazing job! Will definitely be using her services again!”


“I felt so much better knowing Rebecca was taking care of Woody while I was away. It was truly a last-minute decision to hire her (around 10pm we agreed for her to come the next morning at 7am!) and she arrived on time to meet Woody and get acclimated briefly with the space, before I jetted off for my trip. She sent pictures for each visit and did everything as expected. Rebecca, who also works a tough overnight job, strikes me as the sort of person who could probably handle ANY job competently, from dog sitting to running a company — it’s a work ethic thing.”


About: I've had cats my whole life and I've had my dog Ellie since I was 11 (she's now 11!) so I have a lot of experience with both--feeding, playing, changing litter, walking, and bathing. I've also petsat for family and friends many times. I love all types of dogs and cats and I am able and good at adapting to any specific needs--I just want to ensure they're the happiest and healthiest they can be while under my care. Additionally, last summer I worked as a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare/boarding company. At this job, I got to walk, feed, give water, and spend time and play with a bunch of dogs every day. Even though giving the dogs affection wasn't a required part of the job and many of my coworkers overlooked it, I always tried to pet and spend a few minutes at a time with as many dogs as I could (so long as they were friendly and appreciated it). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to continue working there again this summer because I am living in a different city this summer. I would love to have another opportunity to take care of and play with a bunch of dogs like before! :) I'm currently home from college for the summer and my schedule is completely open other than a trip July 11th-19th. I am free to petsit or dog walk any time or day before going back to college on August 20th as long as we arrange it a few days ahead of time. My care for your pet would depend entirely upon what you request and what I read from the behavior of your pet. In my home, we walk my dog on long walks once or twice a day and shorter walks in between, in the morning, and before bed. Ellie is crate-trained and feels best going to sleep in her crate, but if I cared for your pet I would accomodate to whatever your pet is used to. I am very athletic and outdoorsy so I can accomodate to more high-energy dogs that need lots of exercise but I also am perfectly fine mostly chilling inside or going on slower walks if that's what your dog prefers. For my cat Max, we keep him indoors all the time and in a certain section of the house because he gets anxious easily and my dog isn't very cat-friendly, but he is litter-box trained with a self-cleaning box and we spend a good portion of the day cuddling with him and playing. I prefer to petsit in your home rather than mine just to keep the routine your pet is familiar with and not create any anxiety--plus my home is relatively small. At the same time, if necessary I could potentially house a very mellow cat in my home for a short period with no trouble.

About: Since I was 15 years old, I’ve been deeply involved in caring for animals, including my own four dogs and three cats. Over the years, I’ve also taken care of friends’ pets, gaining a wealth of hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. My experience extends beyond basic care—I’m comfortable handling cats, senior pets, and animals with special needs. Currently, as a pre-veterinary student, I’m continuously expanding my knowledge in animal health and wellness. I am also a certified pet groomer and dog trainer, which has enhanced my skills in ensuring pets are clean, well-behaved, and happy. Additionally, I’m certified in dog first aid, giving me the confidence and skills to handle emergencies and ensure the safety of the pets under my care. With a lifelong love for animals and a dedication to their well-being, I’m committed to providing exceptional care for every pet I meet My schedule is pretty flexible since I’m a full-time student, and I primarily work from home. This gives me the ability to provide attentive, personalized care for each pet. Whether it’s daily care or specialized attention for senior or special-needs animals, I’m dedicated to providing the highest level of service. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. I make sure pets are well-fed, exercised, and feel loved. I follow my clients’ instructions carefully and treat each pet as if they were my own. Communication with my clients is very important to me, and I always check in to see how they’d like me to handle certain situations, such as giving extra tummy rubs or playing with their pets for a few extra minutes. I aim to provide a seamless, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I’ve been caring for puppies and dogs since my college days, and my passion for it has only grown deeper. With extensive experience in puppy and dog care, I find joy in taking my furry companions on walks and ensuring a welcoming, pet-friendly environment for every pup who stays with me. The pet care routine I’ll provide daily includes feeding, daily walks, and plenty of playtime! I’m happy to accommodate any additional needs upon the owner’s request. I live in a very safe neighborhood in New Jersey where it is a pet, dog friendly environment. I take walks frequently through my day.

Sandy P.
“sandy is the most caring and admirable pet caregiver that i know by far. What makes her great is her patience and desire that she has for pets and she acknowledges every needs and demands any caregiver can ask for. Furthermore, in my heart she’s the only person who does it with heart and nothing less and that’s says a lot about an individual like her.”


Tu-anh L.
“Tu is a very nice and kind person with a tremendous sweet spot for animals. She loves being around many different animals and breeds. I think what makes Tu a great caregiver is her huge heart and gift for caring.”
