About: My experience with pets stems from growing around them. It was my responsibility to make sure they were upkept. This is why it feels natural for me to include them in my life. I'm currently working from home and would like some pets in the house while I work for emotional support. I treat animals very well and they naturally love my energy. I live in a safe and secure location that is pet friendly. We also have a dog park and plenty of space to take care of your pet.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats with the same dedication and heart. From fostering dogs, rescuing strays, to working at a dog daycare, and ensuring street cats have food and warmth, I’ve seen it all. Whether it’s cuddling with a cat or keeping a playful pup entertained, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. With me, your furry family members are always in good hands—because their happiness is my top priority! Let’s make their day a little brighter! I’m a full-time college student with classes on Mondays and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time throughout the rest of the week to shower your pets with love and attention! I’m available for overnight care on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and I might even be able to accommodate weekends if needed. I make sure to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get all the care and attention they deserve! I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. My home is fully pet-proofed, with a fenced backyard where dogs can play safely, and a cozy sunroom that’s perfect for relaxation and sunbathing. I make sure all pets have a designated space where they can feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re energetic or prefer quiet time. When it comes to walks and playtime, I adjust to each pet’s individual needs, making sure they get the right amount of exercise and attention. In my community, we have two large pet-friendly islands, perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. I make sure that I am always attentive, providing fresh water, monitoring their health, and using positive reinforcement to build trust with your pet. For in-home visits, I follow all specific instructions to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I treat each pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and cared for, whether in my home or yours.

“Fijian was everything I could hope for in a cat sitter and MORE! She took excellent care of my babies and sent extremely detailed updates after every visit. She is an adept caretaker and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her very capable hands. I’ve already booked her for another weekend!”


“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”


“Veronica was very attentive and friendly! She checked in on our cat on time each day and gave her food, affection, and care while we were away for vacation. Our cat is easily scared but warmed right up to her :)”


About: I have experience with taking care of my own fur baby for 7 years. Besides her I have also taken in family pets whilst they went to vacation, as well as drop ins and checking their pets for the duration of two weeks. I was capable of teaching the pets under my care tricks and was always on top of everything being responsible, and making sure the fur babies got the attention they needed. I am also comfortable looking after feline (cat) pets as I have taken care of them with my boyfriends family during drop ins, and also freshwater aquarium pets as I have hosted them in my home for my cousins taking care of up to 6 in a tank. I am in college so I only attend school three days out of the week leaving all day of monday and friday, adding on I have a late class wednesday so I am available early on Wednesdays! I am also free on the weekends. So, I am able to check in with pets during my free time, and make sure to care for the fur babies. I can do afternoons for monday, friday, and the weekend and day time for wednesday! In my home I have one pet, my girl dog pearl who receives all the love she can get and is treated as a family member :) In my home I have a fenced yard, I have treats to provide, toys, and more. I also have a play penn in which pets can have space and play freely if wished to be crated. I will make sure to always give attention to the pets just as if they were my own babies.


“Elizabeth was very friendly and our cat was so happy we got home. Elizabeth promptly set up a meet and greet so we could review everything before we left. She asked us good questions and followed the directions left. She even snuggled a little extra with our cat. We would definitely book her again!”


About: I'm a big dog owner for 20 + years. Had labs, pit bull mixes, rottweiler and a golden retriever, etc. Love dogs...they are so sweet and loving. Love to walk them and play with them. I work FT at home in Laurence Harbor (part of Old Bridge). I can board your dog(s) for you at my home. I have plenty of dog toys and 2 dog beds. I dog sit for friends and family very regularly. I have a good sized fenced in yard with a 6ft vinyl fence. I love to walk dogs, play ball, cuddle and spoil all the dogs I watch. If you are looking for dog walking or dog sitting at your home, I can mostly only do that evenings or weekends. I can provide references as well. I can board your dog at my home 7 days a week. Drop in visits/dog walking or dog sitting at your home is evenings and weekends. I have no pets at this time. My golden retriever, Chase, passed away 4 years ago. I have a fenced in yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood.

About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong dedication to animal care and the unique blend of patience, responsibility, and individualized attention I bring from my 24 years as a teacher. I've been a devoted dog caregiver for over 14 years, most recently to my beloved Bichon-Poodle, JJ. This personal experience has deeply ingrained in me the understanding that pets aren't just animals—they're cherished family members with unique personalities and needs. As a teacher with 24 years of experience, my summers off give me dedicated time to focus on caring for dogs. This fits perfectly into my routine when school is out. I'm very attentive to how I care for pets, both at my home and in a client's home. I make it a point to follow all specific instructions for your pet's feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. For example, I ensure dogs are always leashed during walks and kept in a secure environment to prevent any risks or dangers. Your pet's safety and comfort are my main concerns.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve rescued multiple pups and even found their original owners. Currently I have two rescues who are complete dolls! I currently work remote with tons of free time. Our pups days start at 630 am, fed by 8am, and go on 3-5 walks a day. & of course we have a fenced in yard that we let the dogs hang out in. I have a fenced in yard, but they are always being supervised just in case. We do not allow our pups to roam the house without keeping an eye out. We treat them just like children, always aware and attentive.

“Cortney was friendly, trustworthy and is clearly passionate about taking care of pets! Cortney had great communication everyday and I would have her watch my pets again anytime.”


“Ben took great care of Kaiju! The little guy was tuckered out and happy after hanging out with Ben. He even went the extra mile and gave Kai an awesome bath! Definitely recommend him and will definitely ask him to care for Kaiju again!”


About: I have a 10 month old puppy and two 10 year old cats of my own! I spoil them rotten and will do the same for yours. I love going on long walks that allow your dog to be fully enriched and engulfed in their surroundings. Whether you prefer your dog to go on structured walks, sniffy walks, or anything in-between, I can do it all! I love dog walking and making the most out of our time together. I work as a social worker at a local school district so I would love to do after school walks! On breaks from school, my availability is fully open. I also love spending my time on weekends outdoors and would absolutely love exploring with your dog Saturday/Sunday anytime. I would love to do neighborhood walks or nature walks with your dogs and play with them in the yard. I can also provide drop in visits for potty breaks and fetch in the yard!

“She was amazing! The dogs are spoiled now with such long walks twice a day! The picture updates she took were great and I could tell my dogs were very happy every day. I would 100% use this service again and recommend her”
