“Giving sarah 5 star review is easy. She's prompt and responsive. I was happy to check in our camera system and see her sitting with and attending to my sweet old girl.. she fouled instructions to the tee and left any detailed information on my pooch and what she did at the house.”
About: I have been taking care of animals all shapes and sizes my whole life, cats and dogs. Some of my own and even my friends! You and your pets happiness is my priority! I can't wait to bond with your fur baby! I am free daily and always willing to take up a job! I do request letting me know 2 to 3 days in advance before a visit! Of course, let them get to know me and warm up to feel comfortable! We can play outside and of course plenty of potty breaks. Feeding too!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, but within the recent years have been helping friends and family with caring for their pets when they’re away doing drop ins or boarding them. I have a 1 year old beagle and a 6 year old cat who are use to seeing me bring dogs in and out. I’m very patient with all pets as i’ve cared for tiny to big dogs of all ages, and energy levels :). I work full time working in office Mon-Wed, but am remote Thursdays and Fridays. I’m willing to work out a schedule with as much flexibility as I can for you. I live with my boyfriend as well who works full time, but helps with potty breaks too. My 1 year old beagle is very energetic, friendly, and playful and a 6 year old siamese who likes dogs. I have a large fenced backyard with EVERY possible exit area sealed. My dog would love to escape to follow a scent if she could so I make sure there is no escape plan even though I make sure to watch them when they are outside. I also have a puppy camera that I leave on in my living room to check on when i’m not home. Whether your pet steps into my home, or i step into yours i’m willing to accommodate to your pets needs.
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs over the years but now I'm looking for a new adventure with Rover. I promise the best for your dog I currently have a job but having another dog around the house or a dog to go and walk would not be an inconvenience at all We have a Yorkie at home and she pretty much does whatever she wants. Your dog would be treated exactly the same. She gets along with other dogs very well and knows how to handle herself around larger dogs

About: Hi, I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I volunteered and assisted at my local shelter from 2014 - 2017. I helped in the rehabilitation of about sixty animals to their furever home. I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor. I can also assist with teaching various tricks and commands with lots of patience. In my home, your dog will be safe, have a designated play area that is fenced off inside and a huge fenced yard while outside. If your pet is uncomfortable, I will do my best to make them feel right at home, they will have my undivided attention.
“Suzanne was terrific! She took the time to coax my shy girl into putting on her leash. And she was super communicative. This was my first time with Rover and Suzanne, but it won’t be my last!”
About: Trained my dog from 8 weeks old when we got her 6 years ago! Potty training experience, walking, feeding, bathing, and more. I’m always the first person to pet a dog I see and I’ve also found a few lost dogs and reunited them with their families! My weekly routine varies but I have plenty of free time each day! I am currently working a part time job so I am flexible. I am detail oriented and will pay close attention to your care instructions to make sure your pet is happy and that you have no worries about them!
About: Family & friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay with their beloved pets for over a decade. Caring is a part of my nature & pet sitting/dog walking is a good way for me to decompress from the high intensity work I do at the hospital. My work schedule changes weekly & rotates between three to four days per week at the hospital- still leaving 3 or 4 days free for caring for your pet. Booking in advance allows me the opportunity to schedule my hospital shifts around your needs. I myself have a lab mix at home. I would be caring for your pet in their own trusted environment, your home, but would need the freedom to run back to care for my own fur baby during the day.
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and am well-versed in all the ins-and-outs of dog care. I am also a former college runner and very active person- so I can take your dog for long walks or runs! I am currently in LBI on vacation through August 13th. I currently work Monday - Thursday in person, and leave at 8am and am back by 5:30. If you are comfortable leaving your dog that long, I am happy to watch during that week. Otherwise, I do not work Friday-Sunday and will be around for constant attention and walks. My apartment is very pet safe and spacious. There is no access to human food, and all my trash cans are covered. Additionally, I live across the street from a park and a nice neighborhood, so I will be able to take your dog on lovely walks throughout the day.
About: Saying that I’m a pet person is an understatement! I currently work at a fresh dog food company but that’s still not enough ‘dog time’ for me! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs by fostering puppies and dogs in my home, volunteering, and pet sitting. I was also an Animal Science major and have worked in vet offices caring for all types of animals (of course, mostly dogs and cats) so I have experience in administering medications. I absolutely fall in love with each animal care for - I have a dog and chinchilla myself, and know how important they are to us humans. That’s why I treat every pet I as if they’re my own and am excited to love your's as well! I'm currently working remotely and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for overnights pet sitting any night of the week or walks at any time of the day! Each client and pup is unique! My goal is to make sure your dog's routine stays as regular as possible when in my care so they remain happy and healthy :). I always recommend meeting with each client before an overnight so they can physically walk me through their dog's routine, feeding and walk schedule, etc. I always ensure I am 110% certain where they are/are not allowed in the house and yard, emergency contact info, vet info, preferred walking routes and times, whether they're dog/people friendly, etc. Oh, and your dog will receive plenty of hugs and snuggles too!
About: I have had two dogs that we adopted as puppies, one was a small dog and the other is a medium bully breed. I also have experience with cats via friends and family. I used to dogsit for my neighbor’s senior dog as well! I love all animals of any size, breed, shape, etc! :) I am a full-time graduate student, and anm only taking a few classes in my summer semester, so I have a very flexible schedule for you and your pet! I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a park close by and the salty bay for them to sniff, and I also have experience with difference types of houses/yards when it comes to client’s homes.
“Lisa was incredible and my husky was super exited. My goal was to tire him off and she did it. He was exhausted by the end of the walk. She was pleasant to talk too and will definitely use her again.”

Riley A.
“Riley is such a joyful soul, with a big, big heart for animals! For as long as I've known her, it's been no secret that she loves to care for animals. She has personally shown my poodle, Jolly, very much love and care since I've known her. She's taken him under her care many times for me. Whether it be a walk, playing fetch, cleaning up a mess of his, or even giving him a bath, Riley is fully capable of taking care of pets. She herself has owned many dogs and cats over her lifetime and she has shown every one of them all the love, appreciation, and attention she could possibly deliver!”

“Amanda magically appeared to walk Rusty on Sunday night. She took Rusty on a great walk, gave him lots of love, and fed him dinner. She was so nice to take care of him so well!!”
Daisy J.
“I can’t recommend Daisy enough to pet sit! She has taken care of all my dogs and cats on multiple occasions, and every time I return home, it’s clear my pets have been loved, well cared for, and truly happy in their presence. My dog loves their walks and playtime with Daisy, and my shy cat warmed up to her almost immediately. She always keeps me updated with photos and little notes about how things are going. It’s such a relief to be able to leave town knowing my pets are in such capable and caring hands.”
Craig H.
“Craig was fantastic while watching our two golden doodles. He was attentive, responsive, and consistently shared updates/ pictures on how they were doing. Would absolutely recommend Craig and will use him again next time we’re away!”
Sarah F.
“Animals have been a part of my children's life since they were born. We always thought of our dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and pony as simply furry family members. Since Sarah was a child she helped care for all of our pets as we always strive to provide our furry friends with everything they need to be happy and healthy. Simply put neighbors always said any pet that belongs to the Fichtner Family is a very happy pet. Sarah and her siblings learned that being a pet owner was a big responsibility. They realized that often it meant making sacrifices as our dogs needed walks, routine feedings, grooming, fresh water, vet appointments and most of all love. Now that Sarah is married and has two Berneise Mountain dogs of her own I am pleased to see that she is caring for them with the greatest amount of love and care. Her furry babies are truly the loves of her life. As a working professional Sarah has been determined to find the most qualified and compassionate dog walkers and caretakers. She has made this her priority. I am certain Sarah will be as conscientious and dedicated to her clients as she is to Bo and Rosie. Anyone that puts their furry friends into Sarah's hands and heart is getting the absolute best!!”

Cayla P.Star Sitter
“Caylie is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. My dog adores her - she has a calm energy that keeps my dog’s anxiety down while I’m away, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s very communicative, takes my dog on long walks around the neighborhood to tire him out, and makes sure she’s familiar with all his routines. Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my pup!”
