We would highly recommend Catherine!!”

About: I am a father of 2 & 4-legged kids and the go-to dogsitter for friends and family. I am reliable and my schedule is flexible. I am the primary caregiver of my son when he's not in school. The rest of my schedule is often flexible, especially with advance notice. Having been a dog owner for more than 10 years, I am skilled in head scritches and belly rubs, and am not scared of slobbery kisses or getting dog hair on my clothes.

“Megan (and Jay) were just simply awesome. They took great care of Apollo, who needs medication and is a picky eater. Megan sent pics and video updates every day which got shared with the family while on vacation. Everyone looked for the daily Apollo update. They did a great job with Apollo and recommended some food choices for him. Apollo did well with them, which was great since he rarely has been left with someone outside of the family. We will definitely trust them to watch Apollo again. Many Thanks to this outstanding dog sitting couple.”

“I highly recommend Anmol and Trupti! From the moment we met, I felt confident that Ollie would be in excellent hands. Trupti was exceptionally reliable and professional, paying meticulous attention to every detail of Ollie’s care. She kept me informed with regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was traveling far from home. Trupti followed all of my instructions perfectly, from feeding and administering medication to managing playtime, walks, and mealtimes. When I returned, Ollie was happy, healthy, and content. It was clear that Trupti had formed a genuine bond with our dog and treated him with the same love and care that we would. Trupti is an outstanding dog sitter who combines expertise with heartfelt care. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, attentive, and truly passionate about dogs, look no further. We’ll definitely be calling on Trupti and Anmol again for our future pet sitting needs.”

They kept her happy, active, and healthy. Thank you, Max!”
“Jenny was wonderful with my dog Coco. This is the second time she’s taken care of him, and every time I pick him up, he’s happy and relaxed.

I truly appreciate the care and attention she gives him.”

About: I grew up in a cat-loving household and currently have a 10 year old cat of my own, so I understand the needs of both kittens and more senior kitties. I have been a cat sitter for friends and family for two years now and I am experienced with feeding routines, playtime, and litter care. I respect each cat’s unique personality and will be patient and friendly to make sure your cat feels comfortable and safe while you are away. :)

I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality pet sitting services!”
“Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!”
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with cats of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter.
About: Cats have a very special place in my heart, and I know that each cat has their own personality and needs. I’ve fostered 8 cats, caring for all personalities, ages, and needs, from kittens under 8 weeks old to senior cats. I’ve worked with cats that need medication, were overweight or underweight, required special diets, were scared and under socialized, or just needed extra patience and time to adjust to new people and a new environments. I’ve had lots of experience with cats who scratch or bite out of fear, so I have no problem taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I also have two cats of my own, and they were both very shy and nervous at first. After taking the time to build their confidence, they have become the most cuddly and trusting cats. I’m also the trusted sitter for many of my friends and family, so I’m comfortable looking after cats that have different routines and care needs. I’ll respect their boundaries and keep them on their normal routine, giving them the attention and love they deserve. My goal is to make your cat feel as relaxed and cared for as possible while you’re away, sending you lots of pictures and videos!
“Stacey gave my two cats the best care I could imagine. I am so thankful for all she did for them, including giving medicine, and her detailed reports on their behavior while I was away.”
About: I have taken care of neighbor's cats since I was 12, providing meals, medicine and love. I have had my own dog for 9 years who I also care for. I volunteered at SAVE animal shelter for 3 years taking care of cats. I just graduated high school so I am free this entire summer before I leave for college in the beginning of September 2026. I work at the YMCA on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-7 but am free the rest of the week. I can easily take care of the pet in my clients home. I have experience doing so; cleaning litter boxes, taking care of the house, cleaning up messes, and more. I can water plants or provide any other house services while the owners are away.

“We had a great experience with Somya! We were coming for an event from out of state, so we were nervous about not knowing the lay of the land and how everything would work out, but Somya made it easy with great communication! Our dog was also in a strange place and had just been on on 3 hour car journey, and when we received him back at the end of the drop-in, he was well balanced and happy. Thanks so much Sonmya!”

About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day.

“Tom was not only willing to step in and cover for my regularly scheduled dog walker on very little notice, but he did such a great job with Yoda, who has the stubbornness of most beagles. It was a relief knowing that Yoda was in such great hands. I , without a doubt, would use Tom again!!!! Thank you for taking great care of my best buddy !”
“IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine!

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”

Trupti followed all of my instructions perfectly, from feeding and administering medication to managing playtime, walks, and mealtimes. When I returned, Ollie was happy, healthy, and content.

“This was our first time leaving Mya with anyone. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Elina. She was very flexible with our drop off time when we needed to leave a day early and also with pickup when our flight was delayed. She also sent us a video and picture after we dropped her off, which put us at ease. We would definitely use Elina again to watch Mya.”
“Anish & Aaheli were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in their care. I especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos throughout the day—it was reassuring to know he was happy and being well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“Lenny was very warm and welcoming. She took good care of Oreo and kept me posted with daily activities with messages, pictures and videos. Oreo was very happy. Will definitely keep Oreo with Lenny again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Jaime provided for our dog, Maggie! This was Maggie’s first time away from home, and since she is very fearful outside of her usual surroundings, we were nervous about how she would adjust. Jaime was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to make sure Maggie felt safe and comfortable. She truly cared about Maggie’s well-being, helping her acclimate to a new environment with both people and pets. It was amazing to see Maggie grow to trust Jaime enough to sit and even sleep near her! We are so grateful for Jaime’s kindness and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive pet sitter.”
“Yvette is hands down the absolute best!! I wouldn’t leave my dog with anyone else. She is so trustworthy, responsible, kind, and loves your pets just as much as you do. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Kiko had a wonderful time with Tanvi. This was her first experience staying with Tanvi and in a couple of days, it looked like she felt at home there. Tanvi was very caring and tried different ways to get Kiko to eat her meals. We will definitely leave Kiko with Tanvi going forward. I'm glad we have such a worry-free option for Kiko.”
