About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, and have had the pleasure of taking care of everything from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I was a member of my counties 4-H for 13 years and competed nationally in events relating to pet care and knowledge. I have also been working on the side for different horse farms since I was 8 years old and have loved every minute of it! Currently I have my own cat and my family has a dog and two other lovely kitties. I’m a vegetarian who loves all animals, no matter what! I take care of every animal I encounter as if they were my own and make sure they know they are loved. On Sundays I spend a few hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well :) I work a full time corporate office job so any opportunity to get outside is one that I look for. Since my commute from work is only 10 minutes, it makes getting around very easy. I treat my pets like people and always put their needs before my own. I pride myself on organization and cleanliness as well as my ability to retain a lot of detail

“I've been using Yana for the past few weeks because I had to pull my dog out of daycare due to her needing surgery and I can honestly tell you between her flexibility and transparency, Yana has been a great addition to my dogs' life. Her responsive nature and amazing ability to connect with my dogs has been a godsend for me. She is so responsive and I appreciate her report cards so much. My one dog is very reactive and doesn't trust people easily to the fact that she took to Yana so well is amazing. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets for the past 10 years. This includes my own pets as well are others, such as neighbors, family, and friend’s pets. I have a full time job as a 4th grade teacher during the weekdays. I am available after 4:00 most days and I am available all day on the weekends. I can walk your dog as well as take some time to play, feed, or crate them if need be. I love to get out and get some exercise so I would love to walk and play with your pet!

“Ruby takes such good care of our Golden Retriever puppy. She’s always on time and gives detailed updates about how the walks go. Ruby is kind, easy to communicate with, and we know our pup is in great hands while we’re at work!”

“Michael was absolutely wonderful. He was really helpful and reliable, even in not the best of weather. My Shep had so much fun and was very happy to make a new friend. Michael took great care of Shep as if he were his own. 🙂”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am until 6pm. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.

“Lauren did an excellent job adapting to our Dog as he didn't want to go for a walk in the cold. So he had a quick bathroom break and some cuddles on the couch!”

About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician and have extensive pet sitting experience. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!

About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.

“Alex was great and very flexible! I would use him again definitely!”

About: I own a 4 year old dog of my own. Worked at a puppy boutique caring, walking, feeding, participating in vet nights & grooming/bathing young puppies. i have dog sat a lot of family & friends dogs. I am currently working part-time so can be flexible. I am able to do drop ins, but also walking and pet-sitting. I love dogs so it is a privilege to spend time with them! I live in an apartment with my own dog who is great with other dogs. I walk dogs as much as the owner asks, take them out frequently, do brain stimulating activities, & play with them.

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and monitor pets closely during walks or outdoor time.

“Amy was so good with my dog! She was able to book with me so last minute and I’m so appreciative of her for that. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!”

About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 10 years old when we got our little guy Sputnik. After High School, I attended The Morris County School of Technology where I graduated from its Veterinary Medicine course that vastly expanded my knowledge on interpreting dog behavior, action steps in an emergency, and markers for potential medical complications. After that, I worked at two different esteemed dog daycare and boarding facilities for a total of 3 years. During this time I was able to put what I learned into practice with a variety of different situations and a variety of different dogs all ranging in size, age, and temperament. This experience not only taught me technical skills, but also the philosophy I now use for pet care. Each dog is unique, and what works for one might not be effective for another. It is with this in mind, that I strive to find the approach that works best for your dog. As a dog owner myself I understand that they are so much more than just pets, they are furry members of our families. This notion is important in conveying the gravity of entrusting the care of your four legged family to another. With all this in mind, I hope you will consider my services so I can get to know both you and your furry friend(s). Currently my schedule is very open, with only a few select dates throughout the summer where I will be unavailable. I am currently enrolled in two summer college courses that will end around mid-August. Both are virtually however, so there is no class meeting so they will impact my ability to pet care very minimally. I am a full-time student, so at the end of August I resume a full-course load at college and my schedule will be restricted; but, I should still be able to accommodate when necessary. My dog is small senior pup(11 years old), so managing his comfort and administration of his medication on time and schedule are the most important aspects of his care at this point in his life. I also live on a dead-end where he is able to roam fairly freely until he is tired. While this is what works for my dog, it might not be what works for yours. Through talking with you and getting to know your dog, we will be able to come up with a plan/schedule that works best for them!

About: I've always loved animals and used to volunteer at an animal shelter when I was younger. I also got my first dog 10 years ago--she is my best friend and I love her more than anything :) I'm responsible for grooming, feeding, and walking her, plus regular check ups to make sure she's healthy. My favorite thing to do though is playing with her and cuddling! I am a technical design coordinator full-time, but have time outside of work throughout the week and on weekends. Typically, Mon-Sunday works, just depending on the time. Since I am a pet owner myself, I am able to take care of your pet(s) in any way needed. I am able to understand different personalities and needs among various animals and adjust accordingly!

“Erin is reliable, friendly, and our pup, Gia Maria loved her walk today!”
