“Julianna was great with our dog. She kept was updated and also sent us pictures of our dog. She responded quickly to our message which was nice of her. Will definitely recommend her to others and definitely book her again as well”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter for our dog Norman. Her house was warm and inviting, and had a very spacious yard with beautiful well kept grass. Her attention to detail while watching our dog, and photos/video throughout the stay was so reassuring while we were away. We will definitely book Rachel for our next away stay. Absolutely wonderful!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Had a great experience with MJ! She asked lots of questions to get to know my dog for a first time stay and sent lots of updates. I think my dog had a great time with her and would like to stay again!”
“Mark was a blessing for us! He and his kids played with Enzo, and Mark was able to leash walk Enzo, something we’ve had trouble doing. Mark kept us posted with texts, pictures and a video, which really helped, since this was Enzos first time overnight anywhere! We loved the fact that Mark takes only one dog at a time, and has a fenced in back yard, just what our dog needed. We would highly recommend Mark as a dog sitter! Thank you so much, Mark!!”
“Tina was unbelievable! You can tell how much she loves dogs and cared for our dog so well! Our dog went on so many great walks and outings! Highly recommend! Couldn’t be happier with Tina’s care and updates everyday!”
“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”
“Like many others, my dog is basically my child so I always get a little nervous when it comes to finding a sitter. I contacted Cheryl to watch my 5 year old dachshund for two nights for a wedding we were attending. She was very responsive and was also conveniently located 10 minutes from our hotel. We traveled from NY and therefore didn’t get the opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand but Cheryl reassured me that her dog Gus was friendly with everyone and when our dog met him, they got along right away. Cheryl has a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around and although our dog typically sleeps on our bed, Cheryl had plenty of comfy couches and dog beds available. My dog is also an incredibly picky eater and eats fresh refrigerated dog food (he’s a diva I know) and Cheryl had no problems accommodating this. She provided many updates which I certainly appreciated. I would recommend Cheryl to others looking for a dog sitter in the area. She did a great job taking care of my fur baby and I would use her as a sitter if we were ever in the area again. Thank you for taking great care of Wilson, Cheryl!!”
“Sydney was very sweet and very professional. I could tell she took her dogsitting very seriously and could also tell my dog enjoyed being around her. I highly recommend Sydney.”

“Kat took amazing care of our Axel for the holiday weekend! She was super sweet, kind, accommodate us last minute, and actually cared to know his routine and what works for him. She kept me updated all throughout his stay! I felt safe knowing Axel was with her. 10/10, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Simba. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well looked after, and even made a new friend 😊 We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it meant a lot to us. It’s clear how much care and attention you give to the dogs you look after. We would absolutely love for Simba to stay with you again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Carol Ann was willing to meet us in advance for a “get acquainted” meeting. My dog, Missy Seemed to be very friendly with her (and her hubby John) is a bonus. Carol Ann kept me apprised kept good care of my Missy. Definitely looking forward to my Missy spending more time with Carol Ann.”

“Melissa spent 4 days with our recently-adopted cat, Mama while we were away on vacation. She was very communicative and sent us regular photos and updates. She was very thorough in making sure she understood Mama’s temperament and her needs. Mama took to Melissa immediately and slept on the bed with her, and even rested on her (which she still hasn’t even done with us). I’d highly recommend Melissa and we would definitely book her again the next time we are away.”

“Olivia is the most accommodating and kind person who both of my cats now love after feeding them for 5 days. From the start she made the booking process seamless. After our first meeting she immediately made me feel comfortable. Throughout the week she sent the cutest photos and thoughtful updates every single visit, even leaving music on for my cats during the day. There’s nothing better than having the trust and reassurance of someone like Olivia watch your pets while away.”
“Erin was very kind and caring with my two cats that are very frightened of strangers. It was good to see the pictures of them to see they were doing fine without us there for their first time with us being away for a long period of time. She was very prompt in getting to them at the designated times. I will definitely request her again.”
“Thanks to John and Kathy for their attentiveness to Mick! He warmed to John very quickly and appreciated all of the cuddles and attention. Thanks so much !”
“This is my second time booking with Anahi, and it’s been another great experience. She is highly communicative, very loving and attentive to my cat, and from the pics I get, he is clearly in love with her. I had concerns about being away during the winter storm, and both Anahi’s and Purr’s safety with roads iced over. We worked it out, and all was well. Thank you so much, Anahi! We appreciate you!”
“Carly was a blessing to have while we were away. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and she was able to administer it all. Super communicative and personable. Highly recommend and will use again.”

“Hailey is so kind and easy to talk to! She came over to meet us and receive instructions about taking care of our kitties. We are nervous new pet owners, and she made us and our kitties feel so comfy. I’m confident that they will be safe and well taken care of while we are away!”
“Melissa was incredible!! We were out of town for our wedding and Melissa sent us pictures everyday and was so easy to communicate with. She was quick to ask us questions and we know our cats were so well taken care of!”
About: I grew up with dogs. A dog, sometimes two or three, was always in our house and a part of my family.

“Linda was amazing with Peanut. She made her feel so at ease and happy that she ate her food, plus her puppy's food. This is unusual for my nervous little girl. She took great care of them while they played and enjoyed their time together.”

“Rachel was an amazing host for our Cleo. She made sure to know any special needs of our dog and also has a house that is very pet friendly. Lots of beds and toys for the pups to play with. Our dog loves the company of other dogs so her and Rachel’s dog got along like sisters. Rachel was kind enough to plan a day of activities for Cleo, taking her to a few dog parks and a nature walk (Rachel sends photos often so you can be aware of what they are up to). Cleo was happy and exhausted from the good time she had at Rachel’s and we all know a tired dog is a happy dog and care taker. Will be looking forward to having Cleo stay with Rachel again when we’re in the area.”
“Fiona was excellent with my sweet old lady. She sent pictures and was a great communicator. You can tell she loves dogs and it shows through her quality of care. Thank you Fiona! Would definitely book again.”

“A GODSEND. We call Kathy’s place “Resort de la Vizsla” and my pup Frannie has the BEST DAYS EVER there. Kathy has been more than kind to me and Frannie with drop off and pick up hours, as I work long days at Jersey Shore Med. If you’re a nurse or work in the area this is THE BEST!!! I know my pup is loved, cared for and get pictures to show all the snuggles and snacks. If you’re nervous about finding a good sitter… look no further!!!! You found HEAVEN.”

About: I’ve spent my life working with a host of dogs - from family pets to reactive dogs or those with complex medical needs . I have experience with all temperaments and am comfortable managing reactive dogs, strict schedules, and intensive care requirements. My first priority is keeping their day-to-day as consistent as possible. I’ll always follow your training cues and preferred commands to continue your hard work. Whether it’s an overnight or an daily drop in, I keep their routine predictable to make a stressful situation as smooth as possible. I send frequent updates and take loads of pictures - so you can rest assured your little guy is well taken care of ! I’m an online student with no 9-5 restrictions so your dog gets genuine care and attention, not just a "barely there" drop in. I love going on outings and adventures (if your comfortable with that), and I prioritize safety above all else. We stick to quiet environments where we can explore and sniff comfortably without the stress of unwanted dog-to-dog interactions. I never let them get nose-to-nose with other pets, or go to high dog populated spaces. I’m currently accepting new clients for the 2026 season and would love to meet your pet! Send me a message and we can talk about your dog’s needs. As a WFH & online student, my schedule is open and very flexible. I don’t have that 9-to-5 absence, and am able to provide genuine care and continuous supervision. Whether your dog has intensive care requirements, a strict schedule, or needs to go out every two hours, I adapt my schedule around their needs. I am available for structured day-to-day care, boarding, house sitting, and can accommodate last-minute bookings Safety and routine consistency are my top priorities. Handing your dog over to someone new is stressful, for you and for them. I mitigate this by following your specific training cues, household rules, and preferred commands so your hard work never gets undone. When out and about we go to dog friendly spaces - outdoor bars, hikes, or businesses where dogs are welcome, while avoiding spaces over run with others like dog parks or pet smart. As much as I love a good furry friend, I'm taking care of your loved one and take responsibility for their care and wellbeing seriously.

“Jessica was outstanding! She was available on NYE when I needed last minute help. She even came to the house during the day and met with me and Bowie for a meet and greet before she came back that evening on her own. She went above and beyond with sending me updates as well as photos and videos, and even did other things like refill his food and water and remove his collar once he was in for the night (as I requested). My dog instantly was comfortable around her and you can see that she is very professional and passionate about her job. 10/10 recommend, she was so kind and a true life saver!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a young child. I've always loved animals! I'm a person who is dependable, kind, respectful and patient.

“Keith is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. He’s kind, patient, confident and calm. I have two young dogs and they both instantly loved him. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my young puppy with him for a walk. I knew she would not only be safe, but have a fun and enriching experience. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter! She was super communacative and reliable in her check-ins which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she’s a true animal lover and was very sweet with my dog, she did an excellent job- I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“I left on vacation for a week and April took amazing care of my dog, Rocky. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a Rocky happy and well fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Mike was awesome with my rescue Truvy. She is still learning manners and he was very patient and calm as a counter to her exuberance. She is also dog reactive on the leash , but again he was very adept at navigating the triggers and giving her a great walk.”
“First time meeting Petey. She is great! He was a little reluctant to walk, he barked at first. Food motivated so a little treat at introduction and now he knows who she is, and it was a really good first time walk. 👍🏼😊”
About: I have been a lifelong cat owner, throughout childhood and into my adulthood until present day.

“Had a great experience with MJ! She asked lots of questions to get to know my dog for a first time stay and sent lots of updates. I think my dog had a great time with her and would like to stay again!”
“Mark was a blessing for us! He and his kids played with Enzo, and Mark was able to leash walk Enzo, something we’ve had trouble doing. Mark kept us posted with texts, pictures and a video, which really helped, since this was Enzos first time overnight anywhere! We loved the fact that Mark takes only one dog at a time, and has a fenced in back yard, just what our dog needed. We would highly recommend Mark as a dog sitter! Thank you so much, Mark!!”
“Tina was unbelievable! You can tell how much she loves dogs and cared for our dog so well! Our dog went on so many great walks and outings! Highly recommend! Couldn’t be happier with Tina’s care and updates everyday!”
“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”
“Like many others, my dog is basically my child so I always get a little nervous when it comes to finding a sitter. I contacted Cheryl to watch my 5 year old dachshund for two nights for a wedding we were attending. She was very responsive and was also conveniently located 10 minutes from our hotel. We traveled from NY and therefore didn’t get the opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand but Cheryl reassured me that her dog Gus was friendly with everyone and when our dog met him, they got along right away. Cheryl has a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around and although our dog typically sleeps on our bed, Cheryl had plenty of comfy couches and dog beds available. My dog is also an incredibly picky eater and eats fresh refrigerated dog food (he’s a diva I know) and Cheryl had no problems accommodating this. She provided many updates which I certainly appreciated. I would recommend Cheryl to others looking for a dog sitter in the area. She did a great job taking care of my fur baby and I would use her as a sitter if we were ever in the area again. Thank you for taking great care of Wilson, Cheryl!!”
“Sydney was very sweet and very professional. I could tell she took her dogsitting very seriously and could also tell my dog enjoyed being around her. I highly recommend Sydney.”
“Kat took amazing care of our Axel for the holiday weekend! She was super sweet, kind, accommodate us last minute, and actually cared to know his routine and what works for him. She kept me updated all throughout his stay! I felt safe knowing Axel was with her. 10/10, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Simba. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well looked after, and even made a new friend 😊 We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it meant a lot to us. It’s clear how much care and attention you give to the dogs you look after. We would absolutely love for Simba to stay with you again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever wish you knew someone in town who could care for your pet as lovingly as you do? Well, now you do! I provide private boarding in my home, individual pet sitting in your home, and fun & attentive walks. I am extremely tuned in to your pet's comfort, safety, and enrichment. I make sure every pet in my care gets plenty of physical and mental exercise and has lots of fun doing it! I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. Over the last 2 years, I've had the experience of caring for my senior (17-year-old) dog who became both blind and deaf. I am especially happy to provide care for your senior or special needs dog. I'm comfortable diapering, giving drops and meds, changing wee wee pads, and doing extra clean up. Caring for pets is my main job so I have availability 7 days a week. I am happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I am available. For boarding or doggie day care, your dog will be in my large, puppy-proofed living room. I have half a dozen cozy dog beds, dog toys, and treat puzzles. Dogs are also allowed on all furniture. Our Paw-ncierge Kessie is a very calm, 9-year-old Shih Tzu. She is dedicated to welcoming all furry friends 24/7, 365 days a year. My house is located 5-minutes from the beach, 10 minutes to the dog beach in either Asbury or Spring Lake, and about 10 minutes from the Off-Leash Dog Parks in Neptune and Wall. My backseat is set up with cozy dog beds and a pet hammock for safety.
“Lori was very responsive and caring toward my pup! This was the first time I have left her since moving to New Jersey and Lori made sure that I knew that Maya was doing great. Maya had an amazing time!!”
“Mary was so accommodating and kind. She clearly understands dogs, and helped my dog Bryn to fit in with her pack. Her home and yard are perfect and safe for happy & healthy dogs. It was my first time using Rover and she made the process very easy for me. (I was very nervous). Thank you Mary and family! -Peggy and Bryn”
About: I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 in New York city and 2 in Jersey Shore area. I have cared for mostly cats and dogs but I I’ve had various types of pets my whole life. I enjoy doing yoga, running, and sitting on the beach. I love nature and I can give your pets lots of outside playtime. From young to old, I will treat your doggie as my own! I can’t wait to care for and have fun with your furry friends! If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I'm currently enrolled in online school so I'm at home all day to tend to your pet's needs! On weekends I love to have prolonged play time and go for outdoors runs/walks—I would love for your pet to join! I love to be outdoors so I'd be glad to play with pets in the yard or take them on long walks. I also enjoy play time and cuddle time indoors!
“Kathleen was awesome! I could tell the dogs had fun because I didn't hear a peep out of them all the way home. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely give her a call!”
About: My family and I have been dog lovers and owners for over 27 years; caring not only for our own pups, but also for the dogs of friends and family. With that much experience, we know every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks and we love them all! We currently share our home with a sweet, high energy female boxer, who adores making new friends, so your pup will get both loving care and a playful buddy while you’re away. I’m available for boarding both weekdays and weekends making it easy to fit your dogs needs into my schedule. Dogs in our care enjoy a routine of two-three daily walks, early morning, mid afternoon and evening depending on dogs needs and weather. In addition they receive plenty of backyard playtime throughout the day to keep them happy healthy, and engaged. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to maintain their typical routine. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. The fenced in yard with locked gates provides a secure space for outdoor play, and our friendly 2 1/2 year-old boxer is here to keep your pup company. For added peice of mind, we have indoor cameras to keep an eye on things if we have to step out and cameras around the outside of the entire home, although dogs are never left unattended outside. I can also offer crates if preferred and have designated areas to separate dogs during feeding time to ensure a calm and stress-free environment.
