Personalized care for your dog or cat - Holmdel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Holmdel
“Bob is the absolute best. We are immeasurably thankful for the care and attention he provided to our dog. Full/complete communication before and during our dog’s stay with his family, pics of our canine each day. My dog looked/acted so happy when I picked her up, I think she thought she was treated to a spa vacation. Thank you Bob for everything you did for our little lady.”
“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...”
“Lorrie was wonderful with Lola, she treated her like her own dog. It was the first time Lola spent time at someone else’s house without me and she had a great time with Lorrie and the other dogs there. She sent me pictures and videos often. I already booked her for my next trip because Lola had so much fun and I didn’t worry as I knew she was being taken good care of.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“I couldn’t have asked for better caretakers of our pups than Shelly and Bill! Always let us know how our 2 dogs were doing and included lots of fun pictures. Our dogs had an amazing time and came home relaxed which says a ton about how comfortable they were under Shelly and Bills care. 100/10!”
“Our dog Teddy had a great time with Anmol and Trupti. They kept us updated with texts and pictures during his stay. They took him on walks and even took him to a park! They were able to accommodate us last minute and on a holiday weekend. Will definitely be using them again!”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“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! 🐾✨”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“This was our first experience with ROVER & MEG who had our boy this weekend. We cannot say enough! As this was the first time we were nervous however MEG calmed that down immediately by sending photos throughout the day all weekend. As the time went by we could see from the photos our boy made himself comfortable and felt safe. 🙌🙌🙌!!! MEG was also great and immediate with communication which also was a big plus for us. We absolutely would request MEG again for our guy.”
“Brian was so great to work with! He and his family were were amazing and gave us peace of mind to leave our boy Diego over the holiday. Brian wasn’t the closest sitter available but choosing him was the easiest decision we’ve made. We’ve used Rover for several years and for several different pets and I can assure you, your pets are in EXCELLENT hands here!! We are grateful to have found Brian and will absolutely use him again!”
“Ken was so kind and attentive to our senior dog! He’s someone who loves dogs and is happy to make sure they’re comfortable. Great communication and sweet updates too. The best!”
“Sebastian is truly a dog whisperer. She took amazing care of my very skittish anxious dog. She is very loving and patient and gives each dog exactly what they need. She sent updates and pictures each day. I highly recommend her to take care of any dog. She has a deep understanding of dogs and how to care for them”
About: I have dogs all my life, and adore animals. I am truly happier around animals, and keeping them company and safe while having fun as well. I am available on the weekends to take care of your pup and make sure they have the best time while their parents have a mini vacay. I have a big fenced yard where your pup is able to run around freely, and a cute little cute friendly Yorkie to keep your pup company.
“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”

“Steven is the best. He and his family are super nice and they were very easy to work with. We ended up having to drop our cat off a day earlier and they made the whole process super easy. They send pictures of Cheese and are just all around nice people. This is our second time leaving Cheese with them and we will definitely rebook 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.”
“Jamie has taken care of my 2 cats multiple times now and always does a great job! Whether it’s extras like making sure Cat TV is on for them, feeding, treats and playtime, the cats are always happy and well taken care of when I come back from trips :)”
“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”
“Bridget was great with Milo! He loved her the minute they met. She was very attentive with him and also was very accommodating when we changed details of our trip last minute. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“We are so happy with Kimberley’s care of our cats while we were away. She built trust quickly with our cats, administered medicine and we knew our cats were in good hands. We will definitely book her again!”
“Alyssa was amazing with my two kitties! I was so worried about leaving them with someone I didn’t know, but she was easy to communicate with and sent updates/pictures throughout their stay. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use her in the future when I leave town.”
About: I don’t just watch cats—I care for them with the same attention and affection I give to my own. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve also worked professionally with a pet-sitting company, where I gained hands-on experience with cats of every temperament, age, and personality. I understand that cats thrive when their routines feel safe and predictable, so I make it a priority to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat is shy, senior, playful, or a certified lap-lover, I adapt to their pace and comfort level. I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and topical treatments, and I’m patient with senior kitties who may need a little extra support. Cleanliness is also incredibly important to me—I keep litter boxes spotless, food areas tidy, and your home as neat (or neater!) than you left it. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy building trust with cats. I take time to talk to them, play with them, and make sure they never feel lonely while you’re away. My goal is that you come home to a relaxed, happy cat—and complete peace of mind.
About: - I have a very flexible schedule and can help during last minute emergencies if needed - Very personable - Have owned dogs growing up as well as currently, he is very well trained and exceptionally well behaved - I can administer oral medications properly - I can handle rowdy or excitable dogs, even if they are very large - I am physically fit, I can walk or even run with your dog for as long as they may need - I can lift your dog if they are old and need help getting in or out of a car or up stairs, et cetera, if needed - Most of all, I love giving all dogs attention and physical affection, they will love me and look forward to seeing me!
“Karen was amazing with our dog Miley. She brought her own treats that Miley loved and was so caring and cautious with our dog. Karen made sure Miley felt safe and they had great playtime and walk. I highly recommend Karen to anyone reading this. A true dog lover and professional.”
“Brittany was great with my kitties. Was receptive to any suggestions or changes that were made. Was very helpful when one of the cats got out because a friend of mine came to water the plants. All in all I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have pet sat cats for close friends over the years, and I have loved every second of it. I have always dreamed of having a cat of my own, so I plan to love your pet as much as I love my current dog, and even my future cat.
“Taylor did an amazing job watching Sofia ? while I was away for about 10 days. Despite never meeting her in person, she made me feel at ease about being gone for so long. She always sent me cute pictures and videos each time she saw Sofia. I will definitely ask for Taylor’s help next time I go away!”
“Heather is very dependable and caring towards our Moochi. Although it had been many months since Moochi had seen her, he remembered her and rubbed against her when he saw her. Heather is also a very good communicator. I highly recommend Heather!”
“Nick was great and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. He even made friends with one with my cats who is generally scared of people. Very reliable and sent text messages with updates as well as photos. I would definitely book Nick again and recommend him to others.”
About: Cats have completely stolen my heart. 🐱 Over the past 7 years, I've worked with, fostered, and loved cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Once I started working with cats, I knew they had become my favorite animals to care for. Along the way, I've fostered kittens, participated in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts, and helped many cats find their forever homes. My home is currently ruled by 6 very spoiled cats (and their two doggy sisters that they love), and each kitty has taught me something different about feline behavior and care. Springer is on behavioral medication and eats a prescription urinary diet, so I'm very familiar with administering medications and managing special medical needs. Mary Jane and Willow like to remind me that cats can be wonderfully quirky—they both have behavioral urination habits that have taught me lots of patience and understanding. Willow is also crate trained! April keeps me on my toes with her constant need of love & affection, while Figaro is my biggest success story. He was the most fearful foster I've ever had, and after years of patience and letting him go at his own pace, he blossomed into the sweetest lap cat. Then there's my little orange dude, Lil' Dorito, who joined our family as a tiny 4- to 5-week-old kitten that I bottle-fed around the clock. One of the most special cats I had the privilege to love & care for was my hospice girl, Cleo. She was only with our family for six beautiful months, but she left the biggest paw print on my heart. Despite her health challenges, she was the sweetest, shy little mama's girl. Caring for her was one of the greatest honors of my life. Living with six cats means I understand that every cat is wonderfully unique. Some want to be your best friend immediately, while others prefer to admire you from across the room—and that's perfectly okay! I always let cats set the pace, because earning their trust is one of the most rewarding parts of caring for them. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, spicy, senior, a tiny kitten, or has medical or behavioral needs, I'll treat them like one of my own—with patience, love, and plenty of chin scratches (if they'll allow it!). I can't wait to meet you and your feline family! 🩷🐾

Perfect for high energy dogs - Holmdel
“Brian And his wife were so lovely with my dog! Before His first daycare day, we did a meet and greet where they asked throughtful questions about his meal sensitivities and tried to make him feel very comfortable. Would recommend 😊”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.
“It was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous at first, but that quickly changed once we met Evgenii. Our dog seemed to become friends with him right away! He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Evgenii again whenever we are in the neighborhood.”

About: My husband and I both grew up with several dogs in our homes as children, and while we have no children of our own, our fur baby is a ten month old Shih-Poo, whose name is "Reesie". Reesie is the sweetest boy, who loves to cuddle, play, and run outside in the dog park! I'm currently a stay at home fur mom, and typically take our pup for walks every few hours! My husband and I take him to a park several nights a week after dinner to allow him time to exercise and play! There is a fenced in dog park here at our apartment complex, and we are willing to adapt to your pup's needs if a crate is necessary.
“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.”

But I am also willing to go meet the dog at his home. If that’s the best safe and neutral environment.
“Liia and Lucky are the best! Liia took great care and loved my dog just as much as she was her own. Lucky is a great doggie friend as well. Would highly recommend their home for your fur baby to spend time there.”

“William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.”
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. My family got our first dog when I was two years old, a high energy pit bull mix who taught me how to keep up with active dogs and provide plenty of exercise and engagement. When I was twelve and then again when I was thirteen, we adopted a second and third dog both of which had much more relaxed personalities. Growing up with these two pups helped me learn how to care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet sitting services for family and friends on numerous occasions. My experience ranges from caring for dogs during extended family vacations to stopping by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while owners are away for the day. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I am experienced with basic puppy training, administering medications, maintaining routines, and adapting care to each dog's individual personality and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog wants a long walk, a game of fetch, lots of cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I currently work three nights per week as an EMT, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule and allows me to be available throughout most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or extended companionship while you are away, I am happy to accommodate their needs. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well socialized dogs who are accustomed to being around other animals. My home is stocked with toys, treats, fresh water, and comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and feel at home. I always follow owners' instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate use, and any other aspects of their pet's routine to help ensure a safe and stress free experience. For drop in visits and care in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I am happy to clean up after pets, refresh water bowls, provide meals, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency can be for dogs, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“Lorrie is understand, helpful and communicative. She took time to discuss over a phone call for my dogs needs and we set up a day stay before a longer sit! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As an active person who enjoys walking and being outdoors, I can provide energetic walks for dogs who need exercise while also giving gentle attention to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you know they’re in great hands. I’m a stay-at-home mom of two school-aged children and am looking for flexible work that allows me to care for pets during school hours. My schedule is open on weekdays while my children are in school, and for certain walks or drop-in visits, my kids may accompany me when appropriate. I’m reliable, active, and love spending time outdoors with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I currently have two friendly dogs of my own and treat every pet as if they were part of my family. I follow owners' instructions carefully, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. My family got our first dog when I was two years old, a high energy pit bull mix who taught me how to keep up with active dogs and provide plenty of exercise and engagement. When I was twelve and then again when I was thirteen, we adopted a second and third dog both of which had much more relaxed personalities. Growing up with these two pups helped me learn how to care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet sitting services for family and friends on numerous occasions. My experience ranges from caring for dogs during extended family vacations to stopping by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while owners are away for the day. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I am experienced with basic puppy training, administering medications, maintaining routines, and adapting care to each dog's individual personality and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog wants a long walk, a game of fetch, lots of cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I currently work three nights per week as an EMT, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule and allows me to be available throughout most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or extended companionship while you are away, I am happy to accommodate their needs. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well socialized dogs who are accustomed to being around other animals. My home is stocked with toys, treats, fresh water, and comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and feel at home. I always follow owners' instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate use, and any other aspects of their pet's routine to help ensure a safe and stress free experience. For drop in visits and care in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I am happy to clean up after pets, refresh water bowls, provide meals, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency can be for dogs, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog as well as watching dogs for friends and family. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise, reinforcing household routines, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need. What sets me apart is that I understand how important it is to treat every dog like a member of the family. I am dependable, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they can feel secure and happy in my care. I am also comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels and can accommodate special instructions from owners to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I am a school psychologist off for the summer. I am available through Labor Day for more full time care, and on week nights and weekends during the school year. I have a fenced in yard that is pet friendly! I have a very active five year old golden doodle, so my home is pet proofed.

“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...”
“Lorrie was wonderful with Lola, she treated her like her own dog. It was the first time Lola spent time at someone else’s house without me and she had a great time with Lorrie and the other dogs there. She sent me pictures and videos often. I already booked her for my next trip because Lola had so much fun and I didn’t worry as I knew she was being taken good care of.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“I couldn’t have asked for better caretakers of our pups than Shelly and Bill! Always let us know how our 2 dogs were doing and included lots of fun pictures. Our dogs had an amazing time and came home relaxed which says a ton about how comfortable they were under Shelly and Bills care. 100/10!”
“Our dog Teddy had a great time with Anmol and Trupti. They kept us updated with texts and pictures during his stay. They took him on walks and even took him to a park! They were able to accommodate us last minute and on a holiday weekend. Will definitely be using them again!”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“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! 🐾✨”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“This was our first experience with ROVER & MEG who had our boy this weekend. We cannot say enough! As this was the first time we were nervous however MEG calmed that down immediately by sending photos throughout the day all weekend. As the time went by we could see from the photos our boy made himself comfortable and felt safe. 🙌🙌🙌!!! MEG was also great and immediate with communication which also was a big plus for us. We absolutely would request MEG again for our guy.”
“Brian was so great to work with! He and his family were were amazing and gave us peace of mind to leave our boy Diego over the holiday. Brian wasn’t the closest sitter available but choosing him was the easiest decision we’ve made. We’ve used Rover for several years and for several different pets and I can assure you, your pets are in EXCELLENT hands here!! We are grateful to have found Brian and will absolutely use him again!”
“Ken was so kind and attentive to our senior dog! He’s someone who loves dogs and is happy to make sure they’re comfortable. Great communication and sweet updates too. The best!”
“Sebastian is truly a dog whisperer. She took amazing care of my very skittish anxious dog. She is very loving and patient and gives each dog exactly what they need. She sent updates and pictures each day. I highly recommend her to take care of any dog. She has a deep understanding of dogs and how to care for them”
“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”
“It was so nice leaving my dogs in William's care as he clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them. They were well-cared for and William communicated well as to any questions or concerns and clarified any points about how I would like for them to be cared for. I will definitely be hiring William again in the future.”
“Our dog, Riley, was so well cared for by Josh. He met us at our car for drop off and pick up bc it's tricky to get to his apartment. While Riley was there we received pictures to keep us updated. It made our evening in Philly so much better knowing she was in good hands.”
“Thank you to Max and family for easing our minds, since this was the first time boarding Rocky. We were very concerned of how Rock would react. Max and his family was very warm and caring and Rocky was very comfortable (as were we!). Whenever we need to board Rocky in the future, we will definitely reach out to Max's family.”
