About: What sets me apart is lifelong hands on experience caring for dogs at every stage. I grew up with dogs starting at eight weeks old and learned responsibility early. I have raised puppies, manage the daily care and behavior of four dogs, and have experience house sitting for a high maintenance senior dog while attending school. I am patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting care to each dog’s unique needs. I am home for winter break right now. I am available now until I go on vacation on January 1st. I know the holidays are tough with pets and travels and am willing to meet your needs!! I will be able to come see the pets every 0-2 hours or when needed. I am attentive and will be able to walk, feed, sit with them and most importantly play!

I tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a walk or reinforcement of good manners and routines, I provide reliable, thoughtful care with clear communication. I am currently working full time while starting my dog care business and would love to get to know your dog. Would love to share more about me! I am well trained in dog psychology and looking to work with you and your dog to create the calm and confidence you are looking for!

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am in law school. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I am currently in law school, so I am available on weekends for boarding requests, or during breaks (please refer to my calendar for my availability). As I have a lot of reading to do, I spend a lot of time at home and am with your animal 24/7. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I always use a leash for potty breaks and walks. I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. I live in a household with four people, so dogs are always under supervision in my home. I also provide updates and pictures of what your dog and I are up to:)

About: I’m based in Raritan, NJ, and have multiple years of professional and personal experience with dog sitting, dog walking, pet care, and pet transportation. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. I also have experience giving oral medication, including pills and liquid medicine, and I understand how important it is to follow a pet’s normal schedule and routine. I genuinely love dogs and cats equally. I’m great with playful pets that want attention, fetch, or games, as well as chill pets that just want to relax or cuddle. I can also provide references if needed. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m currently freelance, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available throughout the week. I can work around your pet’s normal routine and do my best to accommodate specific feeding, walking, medication, and care schedules. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and the rules of your home. I can handle walks, feeding, playtime, and oral medications when needed. I have years of experience caring for pets and always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and relaxed.

As an aspiring veterinarian with veterinary technician experience, I understand the importance of patience, trust, monitoring behavior, while giving pets love and, attentive care.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs and many other household pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from a young age. One of my earliest experiences was helping care for a mother dog and her newborn puppies. Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets while they were away. In my professional life, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past ten years. My experience working with children has strengthened my ability to be patient, observant, dependable, and responsive to individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention that I would give to a member of my own family. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide care, supervision, companionship, and exercise for dogs. Because I am home for most of the day during summer break, I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I live in an end-unit townhouse in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby walking paths, parks, and green spaces. My home provides a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I supervise pets closely, keep them on leash during walks unless otherwise directed in a secure area, and make safety my top priority at all times. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide individualized care that helps them feel at home.

About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.

“Another great experience with Jake. Cats were in great shape, and he even cleaned up the floor and brought my packages inside without being asked. Will absolutely continue booking him.”

“We have used Cassidy twice now and have been very happy with her. She is trustworthy, communicates well, responds quickly, and is very good with our cat. She also does extra things like brining in mail without us needing to ask. I would recommend her to anyone I know who needs a pet sitter!”

Jessica N.

“Administered meds to my cat, accommodating and asks questions I didn’t even think of. I was worried about being away from my precious baby Rosie and they made the visit feel stress free.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I give every dog. I grew up with a dog, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly understand the bond between pets and their owners. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I have experience with both young puppies and senior dogs, including basic training like leash walking, crate training, and reinforcing good habits. For older dogs, I’m attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, and creating a calm, low stress environment. I’m also highly reliable, communicative, and detail oriented. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and honest check ins so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time but have flexibility to leave early when needed, and I’m fully available on weekends to give pets plenty of attention and care. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether in my home or my client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I work full time but can leave early when needed and am fully available on weekends. During the summer, I have increased availability and can offer even more time and attention.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 16 years, including having 4 cats of my own, 2 dogs, and few fosters! I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. I work in human healthcare, so I’m attentive, dependable, and take health and safety seriously. I currently have two very spoiled cats, Max and Toby, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I currently work Wednesday through Saturday, so my availability is more limited on those days. I’m most available on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. That said, I’m sometimes able to accommodate visits on workdays depending on the time, so it never hurts to ask! I do best with about a week’s notice for new requests, but I’m always happy to try to help with last-minute needs when I can, even if availability isn’t guaranteed. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in their own home. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your pet is supervised and comfortable at all times. Because I work in healthcare, I’m used to being detail-oriented, respectful of others’ homes, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
