About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I currently go to school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until 3PM! On Fridays I am free after 12PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are completely open. Weekends must be scheduled 2 weeks in advance. I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.

“I was hesitant at first on getting a Dog Walker. Savana was kind enough to meet and greet Cooper and nutmeg. They both loved her. I am so glad to have Savana walk my puppies. Savana is punctual, loving, and very responsible. it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

About: I care deeply for animals in both my personal and professional life! From childhood through today, I have cared for my sweet dog and guinea pig companions at home. I am currently pursuing a career involving animal care & conservation education, so I understand the importance of connection with animals on a multitude of levels. I hope to apply my skills while gaining some experience with domestic species that are less common at work. I have occasionally done drop-in visits for friends & family in the past, so I am excited to get started with Rover now! My work ethic is meticulous and I enjoy collaborating with others. I will pursue a shared understanding of the needs for you and your pets to determine if we are a good match. I am most eager to develop a relationship with your companion that becomes more and more comfortable each visit! Applicable species experience: dog breeds ~ brittany spaniel, shih tzu, labrador retriever, terrier mixes small mammals ~ guinea pig, rabbit, ferret, chinchilla birds ~ ringneck dove reptiles ~ common box turtle, bearded dragon, blue-tongued skink, corn snake, ball python, milksnake, sand boa **I'm not afraid of frozen rodents and mealworms, but will minimize handling of live crickets and other jumping insects :) If you have an animal that I haven't listed, please feel free to reach out! I am open to working with other species if our needs are compatible. I have pretty open availability at the moment as I work on the next step in my career. Feel free to message me with any questions or requests! We can choose timing based on both of our needs. To keep your pet comfortable at home, I will do my best to maintain some form of routine in each visit. I also enjoy coming up with creative enrichment for the animals I care for. We can discuss ways to promote mental stimulation and/or physical movement in the absence of owners, if interested!

“Kimberly did a great job caring for our dog while we were at work. It was our first time having someone come to the house and walk our dog. She made us feel very comfortable that our dog was going to be well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.

About: Hi my name is Megan G. I have been taking care of family pets for years now. Looking to offer weekend services to our community! I work a full-time job Monday through Thursday. Friday ny job requires me part time hours so I am avaliable anytime after 3 pm to serve for your pet! Weekends avalible for dog walking and doggy day care if needed I can offer a partial- fenced in yard for daytime sittings, large outdoor kennel, large yard for exercise, cool downstairs area, & two furry friends to keep your furbaby company.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.

“Madelyn has been very communicative and supportive while working with Dio! I greatly appreciate her patience and kindness when working with Dio who is nervous around new people. I will definitely be working with her again!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was born and have always cared deeply for their happiness and healthiness. I’ve been asked by many friends, family and acquaintances to watch their animals and have always done a wonderful job. Part of what makes me good at it is that I genuinely love each pet I take care of, even if I only see them once. I’m currently unemployed so I would have all the time in the world to play with, feed, take care of, and walk multiple animals a day. I have a partially fenced in yard as well as a dog that loves to play and nap with other animals. He doesn’t have any playmates really so he would have an amazing time getting to know any animal. If I’m caring for your animal in your own home, I’d be sure to dedicate my all to keeping the house clean and the pets safe and happy!

About: I have been a pet lover my whole life with 2 cats and a dog of my own! I now foster kittens as well. I have experience with watching and walking dogs and cats! I current only work until 12pm so I have plenty of afternoons free! Once august hits I will be working in the afternoons so I will then have my morning free! I will treat every pet like it’s my own! I love all the fur babies and will make sure they are safe, healthy and happy!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog mom with hands-on experience caring for both large and small breeds. I know that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take pride in adjusting my care to meet their specific needs. I also have experience with special-needs pets and understand the extra patience, attention, and consistency they require. Whether your dog needs medication, a slower pace, or just a little extra reassurance, I’m happy to provide thoughtful, attentive care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. You can expect clear communication, photo updates, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with your pet.

About: I grew up with a love for animals nomatter how small or big, scales or fur, I wanted to play with them. Growing up with 3 dogs, 6 chinchillas at a time, a hamster, fish, and more showed me how much I absolutely love my animals so I started volunteering at animal shelters where I then, went on to manage a pet store over time. When people would hear I watched animals for others whether they were reptiles, cats, dogs, or fish they started to use me for mini getaways and then long trips. When leaving an animal with me it gets spoiled. I do not believe animals needs to be just fed, watered, and let out. The time you put into the pet is the bond youre able to create with it and you want someone who is going to treat your pet as their own and that is exactly what I do. Pet care gives me the flexibility of caretaking in between my families schedules. Instead of being set to a 9 to 5 I can stagger my time to fit all my needs so it allows me to get chores done, appointments checked off without taking a day off, and allows me to also fulfill my real estate job along the way. After volunteering at shelters and having many animals of my own I have learned that patience is key. When meeting a new animal who may be anxious or scared, sitting quietly with them for awhile and allowing them to come to you on their own terms works the best. Forcing an animal to adjust to a human is not in anyway okay and only makes things harder for them to trust a human. Making sure an animal has a properly secured and adjusted harness or collar before going out is also a big thing I have always checked incase the animal is an escape artist. Before allowing a dog to go outside making sure gates are secured as you never know when one may be unlatched for any reason. When going on walks I am always aware of my surrounding for cars, people, other animals to keep all safe. If an animal is hypersensitive or reactive knowing ahead of time allows me to adjust accordingly.

About: I’ve been certified as a Vet Assistant, I am also currently in school for my license as a Vet Technician. I’m very confident that I will be a safe environment for your furry friends! I’m currently a student so weekends will be more manageable for me, In case of any emergencies of course I can make accommodations during weekdays. I’ve had more than 11 animals my whole life growing up (5 dogs) (4 cats) (2 two fish) I would say I’m extremely experienced in caring for animals. Professionally my experience would be under a year as I am still in school, I live on 67 acres and a large yard which will give your dog enough room to run with the wind and enjoy the fresh air.

“Mike has been great! Very responsive, helpful, and great with our dog! He’s been really reliable, especially with our ever changing schedule.”
