About: I am a dog mom currently without a dog. I lost my soul dog, Bogart, in 2023 after having him from 10 weeks old to just shy of his 14th birthday. He was so spoiled, everyone we know can confirm. During his last few years, he suffered from a collapsed trachea so we went through many health phases. He lived three years past when the vet said we would probably lose him. I feel that’s due to my love and care. I’m also the person at friends and family’s houses that their pets flock too. Dogs, and even cats, just know I’m an animal lover. I would love to love on your furry child. I’m currently a self employed cake baker and decorator with lots of time on my hands. I may even bring some fresh baked doggy treats for your pet, assuming you’re ok with it. My dog Bogart used to love his peanut butter, banana, and pumpkin treats. I’m willing to do whatever works for your pet and your home. I’m used to crate training but if you need a stay over night visit, I’m fine with your dog sleeping in bed if that’s what they are used to. I’m there to keep them company, keep them safe and keep them loved.

About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.

“I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!! Please use her!!!! Your puppy will have another mommy 🤗🐶❤️”


“Jesse was amazing!! My 2 dogs immediately took to her - she was a great match for them. She was attentive and detail oriented, having no trouble with my dogs routine. She made me feel secure knowing she was taking such good care of my kiddos while I was away. Will definitely hire her again in the future.”


About: Experienced and compassionate Pet Care with a strong passion for animal welfare and over 10 years of hands-on experience in providing high-quality care for various pets. Provided companionship and socialization for pets through playtime and interactive activities. Administered basic medications and treatments under the guidance of senior staff members. Caring for animals has always been my passion and I do my absolute best to continue to do this with my own pets. I am always attentive to the pets in my home as well as my own pet. Making sure the pets I host are comfy and secure is the most important part of my day.

About: My partner and I both grew up with dogs, have cared for friends dogs, and both rescued our puppies 4 and 5 years ago (terrier mixes). We both have extensive training experience and can identify dog body language well. We will ensure a safe and fun environment for your fuzzy loved ones. Our dogs are both fully vaccinated and we only accept dogs with current vaccinations. We both work from home and have flexible working hours. We can let your dogs out in our fenced in back yard, play with them, and take them for walks around the neighborhood. We have a fenced in back yard, a large couch, and two friendly medium energy dogs to play and nap with your fuzzy loved ones. We also offer treats if your dog is allowed.

About: There’s never been a time in my life where I haven’t had pets. Between dogs, hamsters, birds & snakes, I have only love & care for them. My availability depends on the day, but I’m typically flexible and easy to contact. I have 3 dogs & a cat (and a ferret, bird & fish) but I love all animals just the same! Feel free to reach out with questions :) I have 3 sweet labs (black, yellow & chocolate) that are frequently exposed to other dogs and have never had any issues. I have a back and front yard and PLENTY of toys, beds, and loving to go around!

About: I have two German Shepherds, one Belgian Malinois, one Shepsky, and this Jack Russell mix that completes this motley crew. I am a nurse who finds solace and stress relief in spending time with and caring for animals, especially dogs. I’d love to help you out with your pups if they need walks or playtime. I have cared for medically fragile dogs in the past and will follow your, or the vets, instructions as needed. I have over one acre of land for your dogs to play if they are to board in my home. I am home most of the time in the summer. If you have any questions, just ask! I’m a school nurse now, so I’m off during the summer months and holidays. I run errands sometimes during the day, or step out to walk dogs. I’m not gone for long. My schedule will change during the school year, but I will be home late afternoons and weekends. If I’m dropping in only, I’ll play with your pup and clean up any messes they’ve made or follow your instructions. If I’m taking them for a walk, I take a few minutes to get to know them if they haven’t met me before or play to say hi. Water bowls are cleaned and refilled before I leave. Big dogs subject to bloat - I let them calm down if panting after a walk before watering/feeding. If they’re in my home, they’re treated like royalty along with my pack. Introductions are done outside so that there’s no tension. Everyone is playing and the meeting is casual. I look to you for information on their personalities and care. I have an invisible fence for my dogs. If your dog is familiar and trained, I can provide a collar. I’m also experienced and trained with the e collar if that’s how your pup was trained. It will never be used as punishment.

“Taylor was absolutely incredible with our two cats from daily updates to pictures. Our one cat has diabetes needing insulin twice a day. She came for a meet and greet and was absolutely wonderful with both our cats. I would highly recommended Taylor especially if you have animals with medical conditions!”


About: I grew up with dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I love caring for them they’re my favorite animal. I helped my sister when her dog gave birth both times. I do this full time. I am always home. There is a dog park across the street from my house so they can run around if they would like. I have my own bowls, crates and doggy beds. I have lots lots of toys as well so your dog will always comfortable with me.


About: I love dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes and treat each one I meet as if they were my own. I have a large back yard and live near a dog park and can give your dog plenty of fun and exercise with other dogs! I care so much for dogs I've even considered fostering them. I have a dog who is very sociable and will be a great playmate for your dog! If your dog isn’t good with other dogs, I'll leave mine at home for walks and drop-ins. I've had dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience with feeding, medicating, socializing, and training them, if that's what they need. But make no mistake, every dog needs love and I make sure I give them plenty of it! During the week, I'm generally available most hours of the day as I work from home. Weekends are wide open if you need a getaway! I know each dog has their own specific needs, and I’ll go the extra mile to make sure your fur baby is taken care of exactly the way you want. You’ll get plenty of pics, videos and updates so you’re always in the know. Your peace of mind and your dog’s safety and comfort are of utmost importance to me, and you’ll get all that and more when I care for your furry family member. I work full time from home, so i can pretty easily work my schedule to allow me time to step out and care for your pup when you need someone I have a fully fenced in yard and a vigilant eye, so you’ll always have peace of mind knowing your pup is safe and secure. I know some dogs are quicker to warm up than others, so I always make sure to let them come to me on their own for sniffs so they feel they can trust me. My dog is extremely friendly, so I’ll always make sure to keep her separated until your dog is ready for her to come up and make friends

“Covered us over Christmas. Extremely easy and follows instructions, thorough service. Very grateful to have came across her! She responded immediately when we were looking for a cover. Thank you Samarah!”



About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 5 years, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I offer dependable, gentle care tailored to your pet’s needs—walks, feeding, medication, and more. I treat every pet like my own and understand the importance of trust & communication. Whether you're away for a few hours or days, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved. I work part-time and attend school in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day and weekends for pet sitting and drop-in visits at your home. Whether it's a midday walk or keeping them company while you're away I’ll be happy to help! I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel safe, familiar, and relaxed. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or maintaining routines. I always respect your home, lock up securely, and make sure your pet feels calm and loved while you're away. I send regular updates to give you peace of mind and treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and commute to work from your location. I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾

“Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!”

Arianna P.
“Ari has cared for my two cats multiple times. While my partner and I go away for weekend, or sometimes week long, vacations, Ari has properly managed feeding, playing, and cleaning up after our cats perfectly while maintaining cleanliness in the home (ex. cleaning up litter or hairballs.) multiple times. In times of emergency, Ari has been perfectly capable of taking our cats to the vet, and I would entrust her to do so. There was one instance where one of our cats got sick (vomiting) but luckily it wasn't a situation where she had to take her over. Still, Ari handled the situation very well. Knowing Ari for about 12 years now, I know she LOVES animals. She was always talking about the dogs, chickens, peacocks, and rabbits on her family's farm. She also used to take care of my late bunny for me on occasion. She's very gentle and empathetic. You absolutely will not be disappointed choosing Ari, especially if you have communicated special requests clearly.”
