“Lisa is great! Good communicator. Takes very good care of my Chico.”
“Jessica takes excellent care of walking our Axel! She sends the best updates and pictures too. :) She is very understanding of his routine and his anxieties.”
About: We have been around so many animals since we were little girls (dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, snakes, hamsters, fish, … the list goes on lol), but dogs are the pet we’re most familiar with. We have always helped out with walking/taking care of dogs since we grew up with almost all our friends and family having dogs. They’re family :) We are available anytime (Tuesdays through Saturday) during the summer! We will be starting a Dental Assisting Program in September so our schedule will be tighter by then. For now, we can do daily/weekly (with the exceptions of Mondays and Sundays) :) We will always make sure the dog is comfortable and at ease in its environment. Whether thats outside being walked or even inside when they are getting to know us. It is important to have a mutual trust.
“Shawn is awesome. He met Nala beforehand and she immediately liked him. Shawn is always on time and takes good care on my Nala during the walks.”
“Taurla was super helpful on short notice! She communicated clearly & left detail report cards with pictures, which I love! I will definitely rebook soon.”
“Katie was great with our pup and we will be booking her again in the future! She is flexible with our crazy schedule and didn’t let a little rain stop her from coming to walk him! We appreciate her loving our guy as much as we do!”
“Flaca had so much fun with Stephanie on her walk. Stephanie made sure to accommodate the walk according to Flaca’s needs. A fun combination of exercise, hanging out by the shade, and playing with pinecones! Stephanie kept me updated with pictures and asked me questions about how best to take care and walk Flaca. Flaca is very excited to walk with her every week!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and absolutely have a soft spot for senior dogs. Currently I have 2 dogs. A Senior Golden Retriever named Skye and a 9 month old Hound-Lab mix named Sonny. Since Sonny is a puppy he pulls on a leash and jumps, I have experience with dogs that have these characteristics. The Dog breeds that I have the most experience with are French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers. I prefer to work with medium/small dog breeds, however, I am open to working with bigger dog breeds as well. I am a full-time student at East Carolina University in North Carolina studying elementary education. I am residing in New Jersey from May 9th- August 10th. My schedule varies throughout the week. However my schedule is flexible and I am able to work with you on times and schedules that fits you and your pets needs. DATES NOT AVALIBLE: I will not be available from May 24th- 29th or through June 6th-13th. All other dates I am available unless changed. I am used to crated dogs and non- crated dogs. I am very experienced in following directions and rules as needed. I also am used to walking dogs every morning and evening if needed. I do ask that there is a list of all animals and how much they eat, what times they are fed, and any special precautions (medicine, eating in separate rooms, different foods, etc.) that are needed for each pet. Lots of playing and petting is to be expected.
About: A great pet sitter is like a second best friend to your furry family member. I want to radiate warmth and patience, understanding each tail wag. I’m not just there to feed and walk your dog, i’m there to bond, to give belly rubs, and to ensure your pup feels loved and secure while you're away. It's the peace of mind every dog lover seeks when entrusting their beloved companion to someone else's care. I’m currently working part time and going to school. Although I still have lots of time to spend with my pomsky at home! I feel like it's a mix of feeding, playing, walking, and lots of cuddling going on at my home. My pomsky can be very demanding at times but I do everything I can to make him the happiest he can be! First off I’ll treat any dog with lots of love and care , whether it’s my own furry friend or someone else’s. What I do to be a good pet owner is to care for my furry friend by providing them with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and lots of love and attention. I always make sure all pets have a safe and comfortable living environment, with access to fresh water and a cozy place to sleep. I’ll also prioritize regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations to keep my personal pets healthy. Additionally, as a pet owner i’ll engage in mental stimulation activities, such as interactive toys or training sessions, to keep my pets mentally sharp and happy. Ultimately, it's all about creating a loving and nurturing environment where all pets can thrive! 🐾❤️

Lisa Marie S.
“As a pet owner who loves my fur babies as much as my human kids, I wouldn't trust just anyone to look after them. Lisa is clearly a pet lover too, as she takes care of our pets the same as we do! She is reliable and trustworthy. We can depend on her to come into our home, tend to our pets, make sure everyone is happy, fed, walked and loved before she leaves. It is great knowing there is someone we can count on to ensure our pets are taken care of while we are away, for a day or a week, and leaves our home secure as well.”

Nicole B.
“Nicole has been an absolute lifesaver. My dog can be aggressive when meeting new people and is an incredibly picky eater but Nicole handled everything with patience, and professionalism. She took the time to build trust slowly and now my dog is actually excited to see her! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with someone. Nicole truly understands animals and works with their unique needs. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone who needs a skilled and compassionate pet caregiver.”

She was so warm and loving with him, he immediately felt very comfortable and safe with her. I felt like Hendrix was in such great hands and I had nothing to worry about! She sent daily photos and updates to confirm Hendrix was walked and fed. Ronah, thank you for such a great experience. I will book again and again with her!”
