“My large 2 yr old doodle pup Rooney was a repeat client of Jonathan's this summer. He's very nice, dependable, flexible & has reasonable rates. He had great communication on logistics as well as providing updates on Roo. He was very accommodating with early morn./late night pick-ups/drop-offs which was much appreciated. I trusted that Roo was well cared for & having fun with walks & playtime in the big fenced yard.”
“Nancy and her husband took wonderful care of our two aussies over our wedding weekend. Our 4.5 month old puppy is high energy and takes time to adapt to new surroundings - they were incredibly patient and diligent in taking care of her.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who is loving, caring, and communicates well. Thank you so much again, Nancy!!”

About: I've taken care of various types of pets like birds, cats, and dogs. My experience mainly comes from family and friend requests; however, I am very passionate about taking care of pets and do my best to make sure they are happy! I have a rescue dog who I have trained to not chew on shoes, do some tricks, be gentle when grabbing treats, and to wait when getting food. I'm currently enrolled in an in-person summer class which means that on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I am only available after 1pm. I also work part-time over the weekends so my schedule varies. Despite this my schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to move around work hours to make sure your pets are well taken care of! :) While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I will make sure your pets are well cared for in the comfort of your home.

About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.
“Excellent. We dropped our 1 year old puppy at Samantha’s for the day and she was in great hands!! She was walked, played with, and clearly well cared for. Will be contacting Sam again in the future!”
About: Life long dog lover, over 15 years of experience with dogs. I am very experienced with older dogs and have perfected the art of medicine administering. No matter their age, I’ll take extra special care of your baby. Dogs are a very large portion of my day. I am flexible with work so I can tend to all the dogs’ needs throughout the day. My backyard is fully fenced so the dogs can run around and do their business. I’m always out with them to make sure they’re safe.
About: I’ve watched dogs both in my own home as well as pet owners homes for extended periods of time. I treat them with the same care and compassion I would my own dog. I have a hybrid work schedule that allows me to be flexible. If there are days I’m in my office, I will let the owner know. I have a fully fenced back yard, and no other pets currently in my home. Plenty of space inside as well for dog beds etc.
About: Greetings! As a dog owner for most of my life, until recently, I know that ensuring your Pup is well cared for can be the #1 biggest concern of your workday/holiday or any time you’re separated. If you're anything like me then you have undoubtedly spent THOUSANDS on making sure they receive only the best care. My doggy resume: Previous owner of Duke, my cairn terror, who was amazing with people, but terrible with other animals. He had to be leashed at all times and we had to stay clear of other dogs, squirrels and so on. Loved him. I also have experience with an American Pit Bull. She was so loving too and she happened to be deaf. I learned a lot loving and loving her. A few items we will touch base on before our meet and greet: 1. Is your dog a rescue? Do they potentially have an unfortunate history. If so, what is that history and let’s find a way to navigate it, if possible: 2. Are there any medications that will need to be administered? How and when? Do you have a method to do so (pill in food or treat). We don't want them missing anything important. 3. Dietary habits and needs while under my care. Besides time and amount, anything unusual? Or imperative? 4.How frequently does your dog tend to need outside trips? Are they house broken? Tibia okay if not, we all have to learn at some point. Is there a behavior I should be looking out for, it is out of scheduled time? 5. Let's talk walks: Leashes, harnesses, dog parks,other dogs and everything in-between. 6. A typical day in the life; on or off furniture, chewing shoes, rules, other behaviors, do's and dont's. We are open to it all. 7. While an emergency is unlikely, let's set a plan. I'm a Retired small business owner of 20 years. My days are open enough to to help with last minute, emergencies, planned and even separation anxiety pups. I can stay in if needed. If no schedule is given, I will typically follow the below plan: Walks will be first thing in the morning, lunch (12:30-1:30) and in the evening. Breaks needed is fine too! I'm available Monday through Sunday Open to Drop-off and pickup times, but not after 9pm. If you need some added flexibility we can definitely discuss that. I can come to your home for a pickup or drop-off. Our home is bright and airy and we have w big backyard. No rugs, no kids….My mom lives two blocks away with a big backyard with a pool, if your Pup likes the water. And orchard park dog park is a walk away if allowed. One of the biggest CONS of transitioning from a 60 hour work week for 20 years to sitting at home and walking with just the two of us. Because of this, I go on daily walks to the dog park, where we sit for awhile and watch them play. I'm hoping your dog will finally give me a reason to go into the dog park. If dog parks isn't your dogs thing, I can head to a more residential route. Don't worry, I'll be sure to send you a picture or video. And I will make sure to keep open communication, with updates. My days and evenings are open! Monday-Sunday. Nothing in my schedule lasts over 3 hours, so I am pretty much open for your Pup’s needs. I follow directions about the care of your dog to perfection. We have a big backyard, if granted by you, because there’s no fence. We have two bedrooms they can stay in, or they can stay in ours, or in a crate! We are so flexible. There is a dog park we can walk to if allowed. We also have access to my mother’s pool, if allowed, she is within walking distance and her backyard is fenced. Big area to run around and hang out. We have no kids, which makes it even easier!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young! I grew up with dogs and have experience in walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I love all animals but am the biggest dog lover at heart. I’ve had experience in tending to the care of both puppies and elder dogs. I’m a very active person and love doing outdoor activities with dogs that I care for! I work from home 4 days a week and have a flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time to dedicate the necessary time to your pet! I have a lot of experience in crating dogs if necessary and making sure their safety is my top priority. Your dog will be in safe and loving hands!
About: I’ve been handling dogs since age8, before I even had one of my own. 14 years of experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in between, not just my own pet. I formally trained my dog through obedience classes and built on that daily, so I understand canine behavior, not just basic commands. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be engaged, exercised, and treated with the same standard I hold for my own. I enjoy exercising, so I love walking and running with dogs, such as playing fetch. I love going to dog parks and having them interact with other dog, and I will be home all summer, so I could do that. I ensure that the pets do not eat any people food and have water at all times and food at appropriate times. Having my home clean and organized is key when caring for pets.

She was so loving too and she happened to be deaf. I learned a lot loving and loving her. A few items we will touch base on before our meet and greet: 1. Is your dog a rescue? Do they potentially have an unfortunate history. If so, what is that history and let’s find a way to navigate it, if possible: 2. Are there any medications that will need to be administered? How and when? Do you have a method to do so (pill in food or treat). We don't want them missing anything important. 3. Dietary habits and needs while under my care. Besides time and amount, anything unusual? Or imperative? 4.How frequently does your dog tend to need outside trips? Are they house broken? Tibia okay if not, we all have to learn at some point. Is there a behavior I should be looking out for, it is out of scheduled time? 5. Let's talk walks: Leashes, harnesses, dog parks,other dogs and everything in-between. 6. A typical day in the life; on or off furniture, chewing shoes, rules, other behaviors, do's and dont's. We are open to it all. 7. While an emergency is unlikely, let's set a plan. I'm a Retired small business owner of 20 years. My days are open enough to to help with last minute, emergencies, planned and even separation anxiety pups. I can stay in if needed. If no schedule is given, I will typically follow the below plan: Walks will be first thing in the morning, lunch (12:30-1:30) and in the evening. Breaks needed is fine too! I'm available Monday through Sunday Open to Drop-off and pickup times, but not after 9pm. If you need some added flexibility we can definitely discuss that. I can come to your home for a pickup or drop-off. Our home is bright and airy and we have w big backyard. No rugs, no kids….My mom lives two blocks away with a big backyard with a pool, if your Pup likes the water. And orchard park dog park is a walk away if allowed. One of the biggest CONS of transitioning from a 60 hour work week for 20 years to sitting at home and walking with just the two of us. Because of this, I go on daily walks to the dog park, where we sit for awhile and watch them play. I'm hoping your dog will finally give me a reason to go into the dog park. If dog parks isn't your dogs thing, I can head to a more residential route. Don't worry, I'll be sure to send you a picture or video. And I will make sure to keep open communication, with updates. My days and evenings are open! Monday-Sunday. Nothing in my schedule lasts over 3 hours, so I am pretty much open for your Pup’s needs. I follow directions about the care of your dog to perfection. We have a big backyard, if granted by you, because there’s no fence. We have two bedrooms they can stay in, or they can stay in ours, or in a crate! We are so flexible. There is a dog park we can walk to if allowed. We also have access to my mother’s pool, if allowed, she is within walking distance and her backyard is fenced. Big area to run around and hang out. We have no kids, which makes it even easier!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. I work full-time, but I’m never home later than 6:00 PM and am only about 15 minutes away from home while at work. I can board pets for weekends or longer stays during the week. I make it a priority to check on and care for pets during my lunch break, so they are never left alone for extended periods. Your pet will never be unattended for more than 8 hours, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I will care for your dog according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. If your dog is crate-trained, I can safely crate them when needed and follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Can’t say thank you enough! Rachel went above, above and beyond! Besides navigating the treacherous sidewalks in my neighborhood with my little tank she followed all of my many instructions. I so appreciate that! She’s truly invested in taking good care of the fur babies!”
“Five stars for John, no question! Charlie was so well taken care of — John sent us tons of cute photos and it was obvious how much he adored him. We felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in such loving hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”

“We had such a great experience with MJ! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates with pictures, and she even sent our dog home with a sweet note. We would absolutely trust MJ again to watch our dog, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for one!”
“My large 2 yr old doodle pup Rooney was a repeat client of Jonathan's this summer. He's very nice, dependable, flexible & has reasonable rates. He had great communication on logistics as well as providing updates on Roo. He was very accommodating with early morn./late night pick-ups/drop-offs which was much appreciated. I trusted that Roo was well cared for & having fun with walks & playtime in the big fenced yard.”
“Nancy and her husband took wonderful care of our two aussies over our wedding weekend. Our 4.5 month old puppy is high energy and takes time to adapt to new surroundings - they were incredibly patient and diligent in taking care of her. They also made sure to pay special attention to our older dog who sometimes needs a break from his little sister. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who is loving, caring, and communicates well. Thank you so much again, Nancy!!”
“Corrine was so great with our pup. He had a great time interacting with the other pups. Corinne has such great communication. We loved getting updates and photos while we were away. We will definitely use her services again!”

“When we met Carly and family , they immediately made us feel that Logan would be nothing but well taken care of and loved. When we returned to pick her up we knew that she had a great time and that she loved her stay. Carly and family walked Logan several times a day and even had her join the family in watching the basketball finals. They are truly a wonderful family worthy of your pets care.”

“Gina was great! We booked last minute and she was so nice about it. She sent updates and photos throughout the visit. When we came to pick up Riley, our pup was happy as a clam and immediately fell asleep in the car. We definitely plan to reach out to Gina again when we are in the area.”
“Meghan and Rob were absolutely wonderful. I had never left my Maverick with anyone outside the family and from the meet and greet through the entire stay I felt comfortable and like my dog would be well taken care of even with his history of being reactive. I received pictures and videos and they even took TV request. I would highly recommend Meghan.”
“In short, Mark is a saint! And his family isn’t far behind. My 13-year old Airedale had never been boarded before and yet Mark took the very best care of him. I was away and received periodic updates and photos assuring me all was well. Mark is attentive, caring, fun and a real dog lover. I strongly recommend Mark in every way. You and your dog cannot find anyone better!”
“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!!”
“Vincent took great care of our German shepherd Trooper this weekend. He kept us updated throughout Trooper’s time with him which was great. Trooper liked Vincent immediately, and he sometimes takes a few minutes to warm up to new people. Trooper is sad now that he’s home with his parents (lol) so we know he had a great time. He can’t wait to visit his new friend again!”
“We had a great experience with Lex as Mochi’s sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One thing we truly appreciated is her patience and understanding, even when we were running late picking Mochi up, she was more than willing to wait and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Mochi came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely trust Lex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
About: Life long dog lover, over 15 years of experience with dogs. I am very experienced with older dogs and have perfected the art of medicine administering. No matter their age, I’ll take extra special care of your baby. Dogs are a very large portion of my day. I am flexible with work so I can tend to all the dogs’ needs throughout the day. My backyard is fully fenced so the dogs can run around and do their business. I’m always out with them to make sure they’re safe.
