About: Hi! My name is Veronica, and I’m a graduate student, athlete, and huge animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very active and love being outside, so dog walking and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog loves long walks, needs extra patience, or just wants company during the day, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet, so I always try to be dependable, responsive, and attentive to each dog’s routine and needs. I also send photo updates during visits so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is doing well. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy dogs, puppies, and senior pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your dog and help make your day a little easier! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love being able to dedicate time to it each day. I have classes in the mornings and early afternoons, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the after 3 PM on Mondays, between 1 PM and 6 PM on Tuesdays, and later in the day on Fridays, after 3 PM. I’m also flexible on other days depending on your pet’s needs! I’m great at sticking to routines, so whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or consistent check-ins, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in their familiar routine and environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, paying attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and visits, and I’m mindful of surroundings to keep your pet safe at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I grew up with dogs and have always been comfortable around them, their energy, and their routines. As an adult, I’m a proud cat mom, which has given me a deep appreciation for feline personalities, boundaries, and the quieter kind of companionship. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and comfort needs. I work from home, which allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible with schedules. I especially enjoy providing calm, reassuring care for pets who may be shy, anxious, older, or just prefer a quieter environment. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, my goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be present, responsive, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I care for pets by closely following their established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking needs, litter or potty routines, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, making sure pets receive plenty of companionship, enrichment, and reassurance while maintaining their normal daily rhythm. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and never rush care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment with close supervision, lots of attention, and regular updates to owners. I’m especially mindful of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. I communicate regularly with photos and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away, and I always adjust my care style based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs.

About: Book with me. To ensure you have the best sitter for your pup, I provide a safe, warming, calm, fun environment when booked for an overnight stay at my place. Constant walks throughout the day. Always keep about two bowls of water around the house and provide daily morning exercise routines (my morning walks/jogs). I do recommend clients/parents to provide food and treats for dogs and keep me aware of any allergies or habits the pup has. I have no problem buying treats or toys as long as it’s okay with the client/parent. This also goes for traveling to clients/parents homes. As of Doggy Day Care, I do not mind dog sitting more than 2 pup as long as they are 22lbs or less and we’ll trained. I do ask clients/parents if it’s okay to have another families dog around before booking. If not, that’s okay. I will respect your request and book another day with the parent and his/her pup. I will be having open availability after September 29th, 2019 which is my last day with my job. I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and will recommend the parents to book for Doggy Day Care Services and Overnight ONLY.

“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’ve been watching dogs for years, and I’ve had one almost my entire life. Neighbors, families and friends have always relied on me with their dogs. For the last two years, I owned a beautiful golden retriever that unfortunately recently passed away due to a rare disease called mega-esophagus which developed into aspirational pneumonia. With that being said, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs with special needs. LGBTQ+ friendly 🏳️‍🌈 I work primarily from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m available mostly any day, any time, except before 11am. I will make your pet my priority! If interested, feel free to view my professional LinkedIn profile by searching Eric Barbieri in South Amboy, NJ. Relax while you’re gone and know that you’re pup is in good hands. I prefer to only watch 2 dogs at a time, unless the owner has more, but a maximum of 3.

About: I have had the privilege to provide care for family and friend’s fur babies for over fifteen years. They relied on me for pop in visits, long walks, sleep overs, etc. I have a wide range of skills as I have had experiences with dogs in Xlarge and small, puppy and senior, friendly and protective, etc. I love all the pups I meet and treat them as if they are my own! I am currently a full time educator. My formal work day ends at 3:00pm. I would be available Monday-Friday in the afternoon and evening for walks and stop ins. I cannot care for pets in my home, as my apartment does not allow that. However, I am more than willing to care for your fur baby in their home environment. I have crate trained dogs myself and am open to using baby gates as well. Safety is a top priority for all doggos: door shut, gates closed, and arms open!

“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.”

About: I’m Stacy! I have owned several dogs, birds & guinea pigs throughout my life starting at young age. My love for animals is undeniable. My most recent dogs were a Shetland Sheepdog & a Greyhound. I currently do not have any pets, as I enjoy traveling. Your pet will be in great hands, as I am very conscientious & reliable. I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for the last 20 years. I would like to balance my time walking dogs for those who do not have a flexible schedule as I currently do! I live in a quiet development with park like amenities. I do not have a yard so your dog will be walked on a leash in a private neighborhood with no traffic.

“Great job taking care of my fur babies!!!”

About: I have a 70lbs golden doodle and he is very energetic. I need to walk him at least 3 times a day and I enjoy walking with dogs. I used to help some friend to baby sit their dogs sometimes. I can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese, which enable me to effectively communicate with the dog owner. I don't have a job now and have a flexible schedule. I can do it every day to fit your busy schedule. Thanks very much. I have a fenced yard in a town house and a dog ( golden doodle ) which is very friendly to people. Thank you very much.

I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home.

Thank you for your consideration.

“Kellie is great. We were nervous to leave our anxious yorkiepoo for the weekend, but Kellie was very understanding and patient with her. She provided a handful of photos each drop-in visit and very thorough summaries. She was also flexible with us requesting additional visits only a few days in advance. We would absolutely book Kellie again!!!”
