Emma went above and beyond caring for my dogs. She was punctual, thoughtful, and treated our dog like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!

Alyssa walked our dog for us while we were on vacation. Before our trip, she came to the house to meet our dog. She made sure to clarify any instructions and behavioral quirks to make sure that she could keep our dog safe and give her a good time. Alyssa sent us pictures and updates after each walk. She helped our dog play safely with other dogs that she encountered. We’re lucky to have found her!

About: Growing up, our house was basically a mini zoo—with a dog, two cats, some hamsters, and even a hermit crab. Later on, I had a sweet rescue pup of my own who brought so much love and laughter into my life until she passed from old age almost a year ago. For someone who has always had pets and is an animal lover, Rover has been the perfect way to fill that pet-shaped space in my heart. Although I think my days of owning a pet is over, I find joy in treating yours as my own, giving them all the love & joy that they give me. My favorite days are spent outdoors, getting some fresh air, exercise, & sunshine. Having a furry friend to join me will make it even more enjoyable! My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they would with your family. I appreciate when owners provide detailed instructions. I follow their routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or quiet time—so they feel right at home

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and basic training. I grew up with dogs—including raising one from puppyhood—and currently have a cat, Stevie, who I’ve lovingly cared for the past three years. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy rescue cat, I provide a calm, reliable, and affectionate environment for pets of all ages. I'm a teacher so I have weekends and holidays off during the school year. During the summer, I'm off! So I’ll have plenty of time to take good care of your pups! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dedicated and attentive care throughout the day. I have a cozy, safe apartment for your dog to stay at overnight or for extended periods of time. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I have plenty of open outdoor space including lawns, trees, bushes, and large wooded areas. I'm conveniently located near the Parkway and can offer you quick drop offs and pickups to get you on your way. I'm also happy to provide drop-in visits or to stay in your home. I'm a skilled communicator and will always be courteous and respectful of your residence.

About: My journey with caring for pets finally began in my undergraduate career at Rutgers University. Previously, I had helped to care for my aunts pets and took care of my own until we had to give him away. My favorite thing about taking care of your favorite family member is how I can see them adapt to a new environment and warm up to me. It’s beautiful to know that we can all connect w animals in an intimate way. I have a park right next to my house and a wooded area & fenced field where they can run around freely. Making sure they are having a good time and are healthy is my main priority. Dog loving is what I was made for.

About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.

About: I have had pets all my life and love animals. I am currently a freshman in college following a pre-vet path to one day become a veterinarian.

As pet parents, our greatest concern is the safety and joy of our animals. When my pup Frank and I started working with Joannie, I knew I wouldn't have to worry about either while Frank was in her care. She has proven to be professional, caring, and patient when it comes to her time with Frank, especially considering he is in his puppy phase. She always provides great feedback and equally fantastic pictures from their walks together. I look forward to having her look after Frank more! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their fur family!

Mathew and Christianna are the ultimate husband-and-wife dream team! They are incredibly accommodating and genuinely eager to help with whatever we need. Genie always gets a solid, brisk walk and comes home feeling happy and content. The best part is how thrilled Genie is to see them when they arrive—you can tell they share a real, genuine connection. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets- my own, as well as those of friends and family. To me, pets are family- and I understand just how much they mean to the people who love them. That's why I believe it's so important to have someone you trust, that will care for your pets with the same love & attention that you would. I'm here to be that person . I work from home so this gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care- whether it is walks, feedings, or check-ins. I'm able to adapt to their needs. I do have a fenced in yard; but I like to create a calm, safe space for my animals and I have a routine to ensure consistency. And not to mention, that they get lots of love and attention!

About: I’m passionate about giving pets the best care possible. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I bring experience from working as a vet tech. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a flexible schedule through out the week. I’m available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animal’s individual needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and positive experiences, whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home.
