Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have also been around cats too. Im very patient, understanding, loyal and trustworthy. I love all animals and would love to help anyone out that needs it. My schedule is flexible and usually can work on last second notices. I would love to get to know you and your pet so everyone can lead a happy life. I work full time as a High School teacher during the week but have time after the school day is over and on weekends to come by. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)

Amazing sitter! This was our first time having Veronica sit with them and our babies loved her. She was very attentive and communicative all day, sending pictures and updates on one of our older girls who has an injury currently. We absolutely would use her again and recommend her highly!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, dog mom to my energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Boomer, and mom of three active kids, caring for others comes naturally to me. Our home and lifestyle are very active, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with lots of energy, big personalities, and different needs. I have experience with pets both big and small and understand how important it is to keep them safe, exercised, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, or dependable in-home care, I treat every animal like part of the family and care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. My schedule is very flexible thanks to my career in real estate, which allows me to adjust my day around client and pet care needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I create my own schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of time and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. As both a dog owner and mom, I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for a member of your family. I’m attentive, dependable, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always focus on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, crate training preferences, and any special care requests to help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free.

Calm and friendly, Margaret was just what my pups needed as they experienced their first long car ride and hotel stay for a family funeral. She was very receptive to our dogs' needs and behaviors, and I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur family.

About: I had the pleasure of owning a Golden Retriever for 13.5 years. During that time I trained her, socialized her with other dogs, and gave her a loving home. I learned the different needs and characteristics of the breed and how to handle larger dogs. I'm also knowledgeable on common AKC guidelines. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me flexibility during the week to care for your pets. On weekends, I sometimes have events for my small business and love spending time with family. Please feel free to message me your preferred times — I’m happy to work something out that fits both of our schedules! I strive to create a comfortable environment to accommodate your pets needs as much as possible. I'm adaptive, flexible, and willing to work in a variety of different situations.

About: I provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always focus on safety, comfort, exercise, and personalized attention during every walk or visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and walk everyday regardless as fitness is a part of my routine. Due to being in college at Ocean County I have plenty of time on my hands to give to help a busy pet parent out and help pay for school. Im flexible, dependable, and able to give pets consistent attention, care, and special treatment given owners request. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, respect the owner’s instructions, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, not only my own but friends and family as well, through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. My long-term goal is to become a veterinarian, and I’m currently training to become a veterinary assistant/tech while continuing my education in animal medicine. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, not just a side job. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy pets, and multi-pet households. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I work at a veterinary clinic around 4-5 days a week, with most days being pretty flexible hours. I’m available for walks, drop in’s and house sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for pets. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With my veterinary assistant training and future career goals in veterinary medicine, I pay close attention to animal behavior, health, routines, and stress levels. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and handling pets calmly and patiently. I will always treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care.

About: I've taken care of mutiple dogs with different disabilities to dogs with high energy and needs lots of play time. Depending on the age and activity it can handle depends my routine with them. If its a puppy, I will make sure to follow the guidelines set and to practice its skill to not collect bad habits. I am currently a leasing agent. My time spent with any pet will be the same. I will designate my days off to this app to help fellow neighbors Each situation is different depending on housing if it has a fence or how the dog is with people and other dogs. My main concern is being there if the dog needs to go to the bathroom or its daily walks. Then when its an over night visit. I make sure the dog knows its safe until the owner is home. If it were to come to my home I would ensure it is comfortable with the enviornment and bring toys and treats to help the dog settle in.

Lisa was amazing! She was communicative and so kind to my elderly guy. When I learned that my cat needed daily medication I thought I'd never be able to travel, but Lisa completely put my skittish cat at ease. She made it easy for me to enjoy my trip because I knew my cat was in great hands!

Veronica was amazing!! 100% recommend her, and would love to be rebooking her for all of our future vacations. I have two large pitbulls which scares a lot of people but Veronica did not discriminate them from day one. She was so good with them, slept with them as we wanted, gave them medications & vitamins and handled all special instructions perfectly. She sent cute pics the whole week we were gone, I definitely felt my dogs were getting the love and comfort while we were away!!

I also felt comfortable that she has a large dog of her own and knew that she would be able to handle our large guy. Would definitely book Laura again :)
