“Jessica is absolutely amazing! She did such a great job caring for our precious French bulldog Leroy. She stayed in contact, sent photos every day and even went out of her way to buy him a new ball from the store when his popped. She is so kind and personable! We will absolutely be using Jessica again next time we go away! Thank you Jessica!”

“"Christina was absolutely wonderful! Floyd was so well cared for and clearly soaked up every bit of attention he received. The thoughtful photos and updates Christina shared really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing Floyd was in such kind hands!"”

“I have the world's most skittish dog but from the minute she laid eyes on Celeste she had found her new best friend. I can highly reccomend her she was amazing with my dog and my cat!”

“Shannon is a pleasure. She is patient and caring, treated my Lucia like her own. Shannon kept in touch with me to let me know pertinent details of her visits, which confirmed my belief that I had made the right decision. I strongly recommend Shannon, and will certainly call her in the future.”

“I would highly recommend Tara to watch your furry family member! She watched our cat, Penny, and I felt extremely comfortable leaving Penny in her hands. Our cat can be very fresh and stand off-ish but i think Tara did a really good job of making Penny comfortable by being presence but giving Penny her space. When we did our meet and greet Tara was very thorough in asking questions and making sure she knew everything she had to, things i would not of thought of! I would absolutely book with Tara again!”

“Matt was an excellent dog walker. I received pictures from his walk and my dog sat at the door waiting for him. When Matt got here the dog wiggled all over so excited to see him. I would highly recommend him, very personable, very professional and very kind to my dog.”

About: I have been taking care dogs for many years and love the joy it brings my family, especially my son. We do not have our own dog so we have all the love and attention to give to other pups. My son is 7 and adores all dogs and loves running in the yard to give the pups some exercise. I can give your dog lots of exercise and multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I live in a great family friendly neighborhood with great streets for long walks. I have a fenced in yard great for running around and playing with toys. I work as a full time teacher in Toms River and live 2 miles from my school. When caring for a dog, I come home every day during my lunch period to give a potty break and then I am home every day by 2pm. I have a fenced in backyard for plenty of exercise. A great big neighborhood for long walks. I also have a playroom and a spare room where the pup will stay in their crate or on a dog bed

“Haley is amazing!!! She takes such good care of our pets and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable pet-sitter! We have used her multiple times and will continue to do so!”


“This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!”

“Katie was awesome! We needed drop in visits for our 2 cats very last minute and she was able to help us in a pinch! Will definitely use her services again if we ever go out of town. 10/10 thank you soooo much. You are our vacation hero!”

About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs to take care of as well as helping friends with their pets. If someone was to take care of my dog, I’d want them to be loving, responsible, and friendly and that’s exactly how I’d be with your pup! I’m here to help you out, so you just have to let me know when :) I work full time 8-4, Monday to Friday. Any time after my work hours I can help. And I can do any day or time on the weekends if I’m available. If you have a fence, I’m triple checking that it’s locked before we play outside. And making sure their bed is as comfy as mine is only fair!

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and truly enjoy caring for animals. I have experience with everyday pet care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, as well as caring for dogs after surgery and while recovering from illness. I also volunteer at a canine rescue where I help care for the dogs and take them on walks. I’m reliable, compassionate, and treat every dog like they’re my own! I work remotely full time and would have availability early mornings before 9am and evenings after work at 5pm and later and on the weekends. I would care for the pet as if it was my own and be very respectful of the home and surroundings. I’d like to be in a comfortable environment.
“Thank you Karen for taking such great care of our kitties Ping and Ollie! Your punctuality, updates and pictures were very much appreciated. Your persistence in trying to get pics of my “skitty kitties” was awesome and certainly paid off 😊 If you’re looking for a friendly, highly reliable person who truly cares about your pets, and keeps you posted, look no further, Karen is your girl!!! Will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again. 🥰 A+++”

“Ashley was wonderful with our pets. She took care of them like I would. I loved getting the pictures at each visit. It eases your mind on how your pets are doing while you’re away.”

“Barbara was wonderful. She visited Pangur (aka Mama) even before we left for our vacation. She always communicated with us to ease our mind while we were away. I would highly recommend and use Barbara again. And our Mama loved her too!”
