“Bob was a great dog sitter for our dog. He was excited when we dropped her off and clearly adores dogs. He sent pictures every day of her with cute doggie quotes. Our dog clearly enjoyed her stay and was comfortable and happy while we were away. I would def recommend bob and we will surely have him dog sit again. 5 stars for sure.”
“Our dog buddy had a blast with Ken and his dog. Ken did a great job watching buddy. He sent pictures , took him on walks and let buddy run on his backyard. Highly recommend”
“Lorrie is an amazing sitter! She takes care of our Maggie girl the same way we would and it really puts our minds at ease whenever we need care for our pup. Lorrie is an incredibly thoughtful and caring sitter, we never hesitate to reach out to her to request care for our dog.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Deena as a dog sitter for my boy Rusty, and I can’t express enough how wonderful the experience was from start to finish! From the very first meet and greet, Deena made an incredible impression with her warmth and genuine love for dogs. Throughout Rusty’s stay, she kept me updated with daily pictures, showcasing all the fun and adventures my boy was having. It was heartwarming to see my boy so happy and engaged. Deena has a beautiful backyard that provided the perfect space for Rusty to run and play, and her own dog, Shuggs, was a fantastic companion. They got along famously, which made my dog feel right at home. I truly appreciate Deena’s attentiveness and the care she provided. It’s clear that she has a deep passion for animals, and it shows in the way she interacts with them. I can’t say enough good things about her and the wonderful experience she provided. I have no doubt that my boy will be staying with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Lexi and Prashanth were phenomenal sitters. They treated my dog Luka with incredible care, attention, and treats. I also appreciated their flexibility with my schedule during my work trip. Luka and I will certainly use them again in the future. Thanks again, y’all!”
“Mike was great with our boy. He sent pictures, kept us updated and dropped off our pup at our home when our plane was delayed! Will be using Mike in the future! Thank you so much for helping us out, happy that Maverick was comfortable staying with you. He was very happy and excited to see us!!!”
About: I’m a dependable, patient pet lover, who treats every pet like family. I’ll provide loving care, regular updates, and follow your pets routine to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care if it’s easily into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care. They deserve our something I genuinely look forward to. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.

“Rachel is amazing. She is very accommodating and she really took great care of Chloe for 2 weeks. She's a lifesaver. She got along great with George and Chloe fit right in with them. It gave me a huge piece of mind knowing how well she was cared for. I highly recommend Rachel to watch your loved one. She's great”
“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”
“Jamie took very good care of my senior dog Teddy in her lovely home. Teddy being older cries and whines looking for his meals or just being unhappy away from his familiar home. Jamie made extra effort to keep him comfortable and kept in touch with me through texts and photos. Than you!!”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“I went on a family vacation and left my older Maltese with Mary and Aaron and he did great. Mary provided updates every day and it looked like he was having fun. He’s older and a little harder to care for but they did everything right. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners. Thank you ?”
“Rick was great with our dog, Leo! He had an overnight stay and by the time we got him back the next day he was exhausted cause of all the fun he had running around on the farm! Rick was great with providing updates, I highly recommend!”
“Seriously cannot recommend Erick enough. My two pups felt right at home in his house and got along so well with his two dogs. He’s extremely reliable, quick to respond and also sends daily updates so you know your babies are doing okay. I will be booking them again for future vacations and I recommend you do the same!”
“Thankful for watching my pup. Especially looking for something last minute. This was my first time using this. She was great with keeping me updated with pics of his daily social activities. I would recommend her, she was a very nice person. Her customer service is great. Wuxi replies and willing to work with you if flexibility is a concern.”

“Wendy makes you feel so comfortable, she is great with communication and I couldn’t be happier that she was the one who took care of our cats for us while we were away. I’d definitely call her again and recommend her!”
“Angelica goes above & beyond as a cat sitter! I love the pictures she includes in my pet’s report card. It makes me feel like my babies are getting the love & attention the deserve. We’ll continue to book her for our cats!!”
About: I have had cats nearly all of my life, & I have three of my own currently. I am very excited to help you take care of yours! :) I work part-time in the Atlantic Highlands area. I can provide pet care before and after my shifts and of course on my days off. I am willing to come to your home and provide basic care, such as feeding, litter box cleaning, playing, etc. Just let me know what you need!
“Stephanie is incredible. She has been super communicative and thorough. It’s such a relief to be able to get away and know that our cats are in such caring and thoughtful hands. Highly recommend.”
“My cat was well cared for and thoroughly enjoyed his time. Always received updates on how he was doing, which left me feeling safe and secure in my decision to leave him with Lexi and Prashanth. 100% would board with them again!”
“Great job by Kamryn, was able to help take care of our cats and even brought in packages from our doorstep while we were out. Very helpful and nice, will be rebooking with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting/ drop in visits.”
“We are really happy to have chosen Samantha as our pet sitter! She is very kind and calm natured. She gave Toby his medicine daily while we were away and that allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing we have someone we can depend on to care for him! We are so grateful!”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins
“Carrie was great! Within the first 24 hours of her stay our dog, Gilbert, was sick. She contacted me right away and she took him to the emergency veterinarian care. We appreciated the clear, open lines of communication and frequent updates. She had no problem giving him his medicine and special food. He even slept in bed with her. He is bed hog so that's special. He was very well taken care of. Our house was neat and tidy when we returned home. Would book with Carrie again with no hesitation. She is awesome!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.
“Bella had a great time at Jamie's, running in her nice grassy backyard. I really appreciate that Jamie was able to watch Bella while we went to the beach, and was very flexible about the drop off and pickup. And cute photos and videos are great!”
“Mary & Aaron and their lovely children are the needle in the haystack! I feel so thankful and grateful that I found them. Cassius is a rescue dog with severe separation anxiety, many behavioral traits and health issues, needs a special diet, is scared of unknown environments, streets, etc....but he is totally happy each time that is going to their house ! They opened the doors of their house and they also open their hearts to Cassius as if he was their own dog... and I really mean it ! Their adorable daughter Allison will wait in the morning for Cassius, when she is off school, full of energy to play, give him treats and do puzzles together, Cassius adores her. This is an extraordinary compassionate and loving family that will take care of your dogs as if they were their own. For the first time since I rescued Cassius, I can plan on traveling, study, go to work and move around worry-free about Cassius being take care. Cassius will continue going on regular basis to their house every week, it was a match made in heaven, Cassius loves them and they love him!”
“Sean and Dakota went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was happy and comfortable. They are always quick to respond and very kind and caring. It was very comforting to know my puppy was in such great hands while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Kristy is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very responsive and was able to accommodate us at the last minute. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout our puppy's stay. We highly recommend Kristy for all your pet care needs. We will definitely be back! Thank you again Kristy:)”
About: Hi there! Although I only recently reactivated this app, caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my beloved Border Collie, Zoey (see Gallery), from puppyhood through adulthood. She has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, but during her life I taught her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide dogs of all ages with a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment that is free from hazards—while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⸻ Today, I own a 5-month-old longhaired male Dachshund named Moose. He loves other dogs, is up to date on his core vaccines, and is currently unneutered. Because of him, I have firsthand experience with the unique care that long-bodied breeds require, including proper handling techniques and back protection; I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. ⸻ I am home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. *********** My home is just minutes from the Belford Ferry, making it especially convenient for NYC commuters. *********** For clients interested in doggy daycare or boarding, dogs will enjoy a securely fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor play, as well as an indoor gated playpen located on the main living level of the home (see Gallery). The playpen is stocked with plenty of toys and enrichment activities, and dogs also have access to the adjacent hardwood-floor living area. *********** To help keep all of our furry friends healthy and safe, proof of core vaccinations is required (except for young puppies), and all dogs must be on a flea and tick preventative. Clients are welcome to bring a crate, favorite bed, blanket, or other comfort items from home. Baby gates are installed on the stairs for added safety, and walks may be added to daycare or boarding services. *********** At this time, I intentionally accept only one client (which can include multiple dogs) at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention, maintain a calm, low-stress environment, and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. I closely supervise all interactions and can easily keep dogs separated if needed. At night, your pup will have the playpen all to themselves for a peaceful night’s sleep (or a crate if you prefer). The playpen is also monitored with a baby monitor for an extra layer of safety. ⸻ My goal is to make drop-off as simple and stress-free as possible. If you’d prefer to simply drop off your pup, I’ve got the essentials covered! Of course, you’re always welcome to bring your dog’s own food, crate, favorite blanket, toys, or any comfort items if you’d like. *********** What’s Included with Daycare & Boarding: • Premium name-brand kibble, served with fresh water and dog-friendly bone broth • Quality treats and chews, including turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, and more • Supervised outdoor potty breaks and playtime in a securely fenced yard • Indoor enrichment activities, including frozen lick mats and puzzle toys • Access to a variety of toys and comfortable beds within the secure indoor playpen • Daily photo updates for peace of mind 😊 ⸻ Before every booking, we’ll discuss your dog’s routine, personality, exercise needs, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so I can provide personalized, attentive care. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. *********** I’m also American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My beloved Border Collie, Zoey, was both dog-reactive and medically disabled (she was completely blind in one eye), so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s individual needs. I have a flexible schedule and will work with you to coordinate pickup/drop-off times that work. We will discuss scheduling at the initial consult. We can go over any quirks /routines that you do to make your pup feel comfy, favorite toys, etc., to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾

I am 59 and have had many kinds of breeds in my life that have required special types of care.

I am very responsible and most importantly reliable. Let me lighten your load and give you peace knowing your animals are in good hands.

“Rick was amazing with our 4 month old puppy! It is immediately clear how much he loves dogs and I knew our pup would be in great hands. Gus spent the day with Rick and his dogs and came back very happy and very tired. Rick sent us awesome video updates all day long. We can’t wait to leverage Rick’s services again soon!”

“My beagle doesn't even acknowledge me anymore when we pull up to Mike's because she knows she's usually in for a weekend of taking over his arm chair, window watching and getting a ton of love and attention from him. I have been using Mike for a few years now after couple of frustrating experiences with other sitters. He is absolutely the only one I'd use nowadays as I know how much he loves her and when I go away, I feel 100% comfortable with her in his care. He's communicative, very responsive, sends photos, updates and I feel really lucky to have him nearby! He's even accommodated her late night for me when I had a family emergency. 5/5 stars.”
“Lorrie was fantastic with my dog Stevie! I could tell from our meet and greet that she is very knowledgeable about dogs. My dog is very scared of people he doesn’t know and hates when people approach him. Lorrie took her time, letting Stevie get comfortable and reading his body language when he needed space. Then, at his first daycare, Lorrie was extremely communicative with me, sending lots of pictures and videos about how Stevie was acclimating. So excited to use her daycare services again!”
“Janis took great care of Freya and kept me updated through the day. She was able to sit for me on short notice and was awesome throughout the whole process. Thank you!”
“Christina was awesome! It was my first time using a sitter from the rove app and she couldn’t have made the experience any better. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup there all day! She truly was amazing, she sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the day which made me believe my pup was in great hands and indeed she was. When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”
“William was great we would personally use him again and highly recommend him. His pre-booking communication was awesome. During the stay he kept in contact with us letting us know how Hairy was doing and provided pictures throughout the stay.”
“Erica is a very caring and fun sitter, totally into her work. She knows how to manage a temporary pack and the visiting dogs all have a lot of fun with each other and with Erica's dog. Erica runs her operation like a true business, which gives visitors a sense of safety. She comes highly recommended and we will use her services again. She offers day care, overnight lodging, baths, and more.”
“Doris is a super nice and responsible person. Very helpful and so caring. I’m so grateful to her for taking care so well of my baby. She always updates with photos and videos and I definitely know that my baby is in good hands.”

About: For the past 5 years, I’ve had a yellow labrador retriever named Hazel who is very energetic and playful. She’s my best friend! I’ve done house drop ins for friends and family for both dogs and cats to check in and take care of them. 💗 I currently work as a part-time before/aftercare teacher at a couple different elementary schools. I work Monday-Friday but have availability from 9:30am-2:30pm and after 6 pm. My weekends are free! I help my family feed our dog and provide her with water. I also take her on walks, to the park or play fetch in our backyard which has a good amount of running space for her. She’s a cuddler when she’s tired so we snuggle on the couch or play tug of war inside 😊
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs since childhood and am an avid dog lover. I currently am the go-to for all my neighbors dogs while they’re at work. I will treat your dog like my own and ensure happy and active visits and walks! I’m in between full-time jobs so have full availability to care for your dogs when needed through the summer months. Weekdays, weekends, days, & nights! I have my own leashes and dog bags to clean up. I would take dogs walking with my dog if desired, or solo walks with just your dog.
“I have hired Kristy twice to walk JoJo and both times she has done a great job! She is always on-time and follows instructions perfectly. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!
About: I have taken care of/walked my friends and families dogs! I have made sure that they are fed, walked, and having fun during play time! I am currently home from college for the summer and have a flexible schedule. I work a few days a week, but I am available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide reliable, loving care. I know how important pets are because they are part of the family. I will always follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away, and I will treat them like one of my own pets.
About: I’ve always had 3+ pets at a time in my household growing up, always a combination of dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with small and large dogs! I have experience feeding, walking, giving some medicines and playing with all pets. I have experience with aging pets, including senior cats and diabetic dogs requiring insulin. I’m currently working full-time in person, but my boyfriend does work fully remote from our apartment. We are happy to host your pet if they need attention during the day! I’m also available to come by any time after work or on the weekends. I always ensure the environment is safe, nothing that could be harmful is in reach of the pets. I live in an apartment with an elevator and a great area to walk around.
“Angelica was absolutely fantastic for Casey and our family. From the initial meet and greet through our weekend away, Angelica was on point for our needs and Casey’s needs. Attentive and thorough, would definitely recommend for anyone needing a walker.”
About: Supplementing my childhood dog by taking care of strangers pets! If the best part of a dog’s day is dinner time or their walk I am glad I get to be the one who gives it to them :) I’m currently doing school online so I have plenty of time to spend with pets and love to have their company while I work too! It leaves me with pretty much entirely open availability have lots of experience caring for and playing with tons of dogs! The best method is playing so much that they’re too tired to get into any trouble lol!

I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your pup! I am a stay at home mom of 2 young boys, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work with you and your pets needs. I have a large fenced in yard with 2 small fur babies! They are extremely friendly! I am also able to care for your pet in your Home however you like!
“I cannot tell you how great this was for our pup and us. Nicole was prompt and friendly. Lulu had the best walks as I could tell by the pics!! We will DEFINITELY be using Nicole again!! Highly recommended!!”
About: I've been an active dogsitter for nearly 15 years in the DC metro area. Specializing in older pets w/ health needs. My family has had dogs my entire life, so I have about 4 decades worth of experience with dogs. Since I don't have a dog of my own (despite being my parents' dog preferred human), I will treat yours like family. I'm a huge dog lover! I currently live in a house with 2 King Charles and 1 cat (acts like a dog). We have a fenced in backyard and for smaller dogs, a doggie door. For over a decade, I've been a trusted dogsitter for a handful of dogs in Washington, DC- references available upon request! Additionally, I have fostered three dogs from Laila's Legacy- 2 pitties and 1 Doberman. As a volunteer, I drove dogs to Adoption Events, served as a Handler, and helped bring pups to vet appointments. All dogs are great, especially the ones who like to snuggle. I've recently moved to New Jersey and am currently seeking full time employment. Until then, if your dog is okay with other animals, they can come stay with me or I'd be happy to dogsit in your home.
“We just started using Samantha after moving to Shrewsbury from the city and she has been great! We are so relieved we have someone we can count on to take care of our dog while we are in NYC for work! She makes it so easy and we know our Tosh is in great hands.”

“Our dog buddy had a blast with Ken and his dog. Ken did a great job watching buddy. He sent pictures , took him on walks and let buddy run on his backyard. Highly recommend”
“Lorrie is an amazing sitter! She takes care of our Maggie girl the same way we would and it really puts our minds at ease whenever we need care for our pup. Lorrie is an incredibly thoughtful and caring sitter, we never hesitate to reach out to her to request care for our dog.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Deena as a dog sitter for my boy Rusty, and I can’t express enough how wonderful the experience was from start to finish! From the very first meet and greet, Deena made an incredible impression with her warmth and genuine love for dogs. Throughout Rusty’s stay, she kept me updated with daily pictures, showcasing all the fun and adventures my boy was having. It was heartwarming to see my boy so happy and engaged. Deena has a beautiful backyard that provided the perfect space for Rusty to run and play, and her own dog, Shuggs, was a fantastic companion. They got along famously, which made my dog feel right at home. I truly appreciate Deena’s attentiveness and the care she provided. It’s clear that she has a deep passion for animals, and it shows in the way she interacts with them. I can’t say enough good things about her and the wonderful experience she provided. I have no doubt that my boy will be staying with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”

“Rachel is amazing. She is very accommodating and she really took great care of Chloe for 2 weeks. She's a lifesaver. She got along great with George and Chloe fit right in with them. It gave me a huge piece of mind knowing how well she was cared for. I highly recommend Rachel to watch your loved one. She's great”
“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“I went on a family vacation and left my older Maltese with Mary and Aaron and he did great. Mary provided updates every day and it looked like he was having fun. He’s older and a little harder to care for but they did everything right. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners. Thank you ?”
“Rick was great with our dog, Leo! He had an overnight stay and by the time we got him back the next day he was exhausted cause of all the fun he had running around on the farm! Rick was great with providing updates, I highly recommend!”
“Seriously cannot recommend Erick enough. My two pups felt right at home in his house and got along so well with his two dogs. He’s extremely reliable, quick to respond and also sends daily updates so you know your babies are doing okay. I will be booking them again for future vacations and I recommend you do the same!”
“Thankful for watching my pup. Especially looking for something last minute. This was my first time using this. She was great with keeping me updated with pics of his daily social activities. I would recommend her, she was a very nice person. Her customer service is great. Wuxi replies and willing to work with you if flexibility is a concern.”
“Paul & Kathryn took great care of Tyson and sent me many pictures, he really enjoyed being with them and their children. I had no concerns leaving him in their care and will continue to reach out them as needed...”
“Carrie was great. She was patient with my dog who can be a bit nervous at times. Sometimes my dog will not eat while I am gone, but she will eat cooked eggs. Carrie was kind enough to cook for my dog so that she wouldn't starve herself. I've given Carrie 5 stars, but for some reason it won't register it. I highly recommend Carrie for your pet.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands on medical experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) and have 28 years of experience handling and caring for many species. I provide high level care, ideal for pets who need consistency, medication support, or a calm, reliable presence. I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs + my own dogs. Sometimes even caring for 100+ horses at one time! I take care of all of my friends' dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie in my photos). Whether I’m riding horses in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first. I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. Now that I have graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career, I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness! My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday (usually early AM & evenings). *Hours Tuesday - Saturday change every week (I get 2 weeks in advance notice for these specific days) & will most likely be morning and evening walks/drop-ins (I am not available MID-DAY for check-ins or walks)* I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines. I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! I only host one dog in my care at a time to provide calm, focused, and personalized care for your fur baby:) Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!

Patricia sent tons of photos and updates throughout Kovu’s stay. We truly appreciate the time Kovu bonded with you. Thank you so much. 10/10, definitely recommend 💕.”
“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!”
“Lucky and I couldn’t have been happier with the loving care he received! The daily updates and pictures were so reassuring! Samantha was good having a Bichon shadow and bedmate! Her family welcomed him with open arms!”
“Kay (Yiqi) was awesome and we can’t wait to leave Chewie with her and her family again. You know it’s a great visit when he goes back to give the sitter a big bunch of licks on the face. Thank you so much for taking care of our pupper, sending us regular updates. It really made our first time rover experience so lovely! All the best and thank you again!”
