“We were hesitant about leaving Max with anyone while we took a vacation. After meeting Carol we we were reassured. She really put us at ease by sending pictures and a video of Max out for a walk. He was well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely book with Carol again when we need a sitter for Max. Thank you!!”
“Corrine was great with Daisy! It was my first time leaving my dog alone. She made the process very easy and sent updated pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend!”
“Sara was great at watching our golden Loki!! She sent us daily pictures while we were away.

“Hedra was such an amazing sitter. I always have a hard time finding some one to care for my dog because he tends to get anxious. Hedra send me videos, photo of Louie, walked him around, played with him and Louie was so happy. Definitely booking him again soon, from now on I would not leave Louie with anybody else. Such a caring person.”
“Leaving Tarrega with Joanne over the weekend was the best decision. She was so accommodating to my 6 month old puppy as she acclimated him with different surroundings while I was away.

About: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that.

“Breanna is amazing! Gurdy is very shy with strangers, but Breanna went above and beyond to make Gurdy feel comfortable! I had a camera trained on the food bowl because I'm kind of a freak about my cat, And I could see Breanna's feet walking back and forth, looking for Gurdy and seeking her out. Gurdy was well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Breanna and will utilize her services in the future!”
“Joyce was fantastic with my kitties. She took pictures and everything looked great when I returned. Cats were relaxed and content so I know she paid them plenty of attention! Food bowls were filled and the litter box was spotless! I'll definitely be calling you for future kitty sitting dates! Thank you!”
“Jennifer took incredible care of my two-year-old cat, and I couldn’t be happier! This was my first time having someone outside of my family pet sit, so I was definitely nervous — but Jennifer instantly put me at ease. I left very specific instructions and shared my worries with her, and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She kept me updated after every visit with detailed reports and plenty of photos, which I truly appreciated. From her updates and the way my little guy looked in the pictures, I could tell he trusted her completely and felt safe and loved in her care. I’m so grateful I chose Jennifer and would book her again and again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I highly recommend her!”
About: I am 26 years old from New Jersey, I have a bachelors degree criminal justice, a masters degree in forensic studies. Over my lifetime I’ve had five dogs I’ve had. Two golden retrievers, a black Labbe, German Shepherd and now I have a rescue golden retriever mix. My love for dogs undeniable and I love spending time with them and being able to care for them and exercise and enjoy quality time outside is something that I take seriously. I’ve had dogs from puppy stage to senior stage and will always treat all animals the same and like they are my own. I currently work 8 AM to 4 PM. I usually leave my house around 6:30 in the morning and return home by five with potential of going to the gym.. I am able to take care of dogs before I go to work and after I go to work and on the weekends. I treat all dogs like they’re my own as far as taking care of them. I take my dog myself on several walks a day feed them two times a day as far as roaming the apartment and or my parents house they have the opportunity to do both.
“We book Megan every time we go away and feel great knowing our cats are in her hands. She goes above and beyond to make our cats feel loved and look out for our home, highly recommend!”
“Sophia is so wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter to take care of our kitty and birds. She obviously cares about the animals, and she's great about pictures and communication. We'll definitely be asking her to petsit during future trips!”
“Curt was easy to work with. I have a big dog that I trusted Curt with and a sometimes difficult reactive dog. It is hard to find someone who is patient with my difficult dog so it was nice to be able to get away for the night and know my dogs were safe!!!”
“Emily was WONDERFUL with our three dogs. She is responsible and a great communicator. She sent pictures from each visit. Our pups loved spending time with her. We’d definitely use her again.”
“Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!”
About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!
“I'm so glad we chose Melissa to care for our cat Jake while we were away. She filled out his report card every day and she always kept us in the loop,a long with daily pictures. We will be using Melissa again in the future. Jake seemed very content when we got home.”
About: Growing up in an animal loving home, I have had the responsibility of taking care of dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, birds, turtles, mice, Guinea pigs, and an iguana. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, brush, clean, bathe, and play with their animals. I treat them as if they were my own and as if they were human. I currently work Monday to Friday 8-4:30pm and I am home on weekends. I am able to walk, feed, play, and follow potty schedules as you do in your home after work, on the weekends, or in my home for boarding. I do have owners who are ok with their dogs being in my home while I am at work but it is all about whatever you feel comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard with three house trained, dog friendly doggos. They get a walk everyday and let out as much as they need. My husband and I love to go in the backyard with them and run around or take them on adventures in the car. My dogs do sleep in our room, either in their beds or on our bed, whatever they prefer and that is the same option I will always give your dog. I can crate if needed/requested. Wally and Reed are fed three small meals a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening, but I know not everyone’s food schedule is this way. All feedings are separated from your dogs. My older dog has allergies and is given allergy medication daily as well as ear drops which makes me capable of following a medication routine. We also have a Furbo indoor camera that has all eyes on the dogs at all times and baby gates to separate large areas of our home just incase anything were to ever happen. There are times where I will be sitting other dogs as well as yours. All dogs are slowly introduced on leash in the backyard in a safe environment. I allow the dogs to take the time they need to settle in and get a feel and sense of smell of their surroundings. If an owner feels as though the stay will not work out, I am completely understanding. I would never want an owner or dog to ever feel uncomfortable in my home. If you are unsure of your dogs feelings toward other dogs, especially males, I always recommend a meet and greet in advance. I have never cared for a special needs animal, but I have taken care of very sick animals and making sure they are comfortable and accommodated for. If you have a special needs dog and are considering me, I would make all the accommodations necessary to make your pet feel right at home and comfortable.
About: Hello there! My name is Donia, but you can call me Nia! I have a passion for animal caretaking and rescue and am pursuing a career in dog grooming while fostering and rescuing in my free time. I am currently working part time at a grooming shop in addition to dog walking and other pet sitting. Believe me, as a dog mom having been held responsible for my pets from the young age of 10, I understand how hard it can be to keep up with the hastle. I have taken care of many different types of pets with different levels of neediness from puppies to elders to special needs dogs and even cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am known as my neighborhood "dog whisperer". I love providing care for animals in need and would love to give a helping hand to anyone in need. I am also dog and cat first aid certified! Thank you for considering me to help you out and thank you for trusting me with your pets! I am currently working part time and am able to request any day off if given advance notice. I can also care for any animals after work by 3pm. I have a fenced in yard with four friendly dogs, a large home that is able to have separated space if needed. In a client's home I treat their house with respect and leave everything cleaner than when I found it. I treat every single pet as if they were my own!
“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!”
“Abby is wonderful. My two dogs took to her instantly. They are a handful sometimes but she managed them well. I would highly recommend her. I know I will use her if we have to go away again.”

“Corrine and her family were so welcoming to Jenny! Jenny is still a puppy and needs a lot of attention and Corrine was able to provide that for our little girl. She’s great, and I highly recommend! Corrine provided us with pictures and updates throughout the day. Jenny will be seeing Corrine and her family again ?”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, reptiles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and parakeets of all ages.

I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog who loves to play with other dogs. I also have 2 dog friendly cats. If your pet is crate trained, I can easily accommodate that.
About: Hi! My name is Lexi, and I have over 13 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m passionate about providing safe, reliable, and loving care for every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, senior pet care, puppies and kittens, and helping anxious pets feel comfortable and secure.

“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nicole and her family caring for my grandpup, Tyson. From the moment I met them, I felt comfortable knowing our pet was in great hands. Nicole kept me updated throughout the stay and sent pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be using her services again! Lola”

“Gerry is so sweet and takes great care of my pup! My dog comes home very happy after her time with Gerry. I am so thankful for the love and care she gives to my girl!”
“We had a great experience with Luz. She’s very friendly kind and compassionate about dogs. She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up time. Her home is very lovely and clean and you can tell she cares about the animals. She sent us many pictures and videos to update us on Willow’s stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Luz!”
“I cannot recommend Vickie and Heath enough! Wonderful! From the moment we began communicating to picking up my dog Maui, Vickie was wonderful and warm-hearted! Maui is an 8 month-old Labrador, so he needs a lot of attention still… And, I felt such peace of mind leaving him for the day with Vickie and Heath. I received video updates and could see he was having so much fun! I’m so glad I found Vickie and Heath and look forward to when Maui can go back and have more fun!”

About: Huge dog lover! I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life and ran a successful dog sitting service with my wife for 5 years. I no longer have any pets of my own and would love to fill the house with yours. Your dogs will be at home here with full run of the house. I live in a quiet community with a beautiful yard on a duck pond. We'll take long walks, sit outside, play with toys and enjoy cuddle time on the couch or bed. I'd be happy to take them to the local dog park to get their energy out. I’ll send plenty of videos and pictures so you can see your baby while you’re apart. I'm now retired and will be home most of the time, outside of pickleball at my community club house and short errands. Would love to meet your puppy or chat details about their stay. I am mostly home, aside from short errands and can walk your dog based on desired schedule. The dog is allowed on the furniture and can sleep in bed or we can bring their bed or crate into the bedroom. I will take them on walks around the neighborhood and play with toys. I can also provide visits to the local dog park upon request.

“I couldn't ask for more! I hired Amanda for a combination of dog walks and drop-in visits while I was out of state for several days. My dog took to her very quickly and the texts with pictures gave me peace he was in good hands. Amanda went above and beyond caring for my dog and even put my robo can on the curb when she noticed all the neighbors had their trash out. She was very attentive in communicating if my dog was eating and what she did to make things better for him. I would definitely book Amanda again!”

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been one of the greatest joys in my life. I have been an avid dog lover my entire life and have been fortunate to raise and adopt several wonderful dogs throughout my journey. Every dog I’ve had has taught me something special, and I truly believe our pets are cherished members of the family. My life has taken me from the beautiful Pacific Northwest to spending 20 years in the California desert, and now I’m excited to call the Toms River, New Jersey area home. One of my favorite things about living here is enjoying the incredible wildlife and beautiful scenery on long walks. I currently share my home with two senior rescue dogs who absolutely love their daily walks. Caring for senior dogs has given me experience with patience, gentle handling, and understanding that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a dependable sitter while you’re away, plenty of cuddles and companionship, or an enjoyable walk filled with fresh air and new sights, I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own dogs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy—and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and look forward to making lots of new four-legged friends here in the Toms River community! I work remotely and can tailor my schedule around other commitments easily. It is not a problem for me to leave my work for a few hours to tend to a pets needs. I am highly responsible and will watch over your fur baby as I watch over my own. I have never had a lost pet or had a pet escape my presence. I have completed dog training courses and know how to responsibly handle a pet.

If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!
About: Growing up with dogs has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. I bring a lot of energy and confidence to my walks, making me a great fit for larger, high-energy breeds or young pups who are still working on their leash manners. At the same time, I have a deep respect and gentle approach for senior pets who require extra patience, medication administration, or just a calm companion to keep them company With football coaching wrapped up for the season, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to pet care. Because I don't have conflicting commitments, I can offer flexible, highly reliable availability throughout the week for midday walks, drop-in visits, or consistent routines. Your dog will be my main priority, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and structured care exactly when they need it. In my clients' homes, my top priority is maintaining your dog's established routine while keeping your home secure. I double check locks, ensure gates are closed tightly, and always stick to the specific feeding and medication schedules you provide. If a dog is staying at my home, they enter a secure, dog friendly environment where they are treated like family. Because I'm home full time right now, your pet will never be left unsupervised, and they will enjoy a structured routine of frequent backyard play, supervised socialization, and plenty of safe space to relax.

“Nicole is great! She set up a meet and greet with me and my dog Bella. I showed her around the house and Bella got to know her. She walked Bella for 4 days this week. She always keeps in contact and updates me exactly on how the walks with Bella go! She lets me know about other dogs and Bella’s reactions when on a leash (very helpful as I just adopted her). She is so clearly a dog person. She makes sure Bella has clean water and is even kind enough to bring in a package for me if it is on my porch. Even rewards Bella with treats. I will absolutely be booking walks with her again and recommend you do the same! Nicole adds the personal touch that you want when someone is taking care of your family member aka your pup! Thanks Nicole! See you soon!”

Our nerves were quickly settled by lots of photos and videos. She got lots of exercise with their dogs and another dog that was staying with them that weekend. She made herself right at home by sleeping on their couch and watching their horses from the window. Vicki even made her eggs to add to her food! I’m so grateful we found Vicki & Heath!”
