About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and love every minute of it! I also have experience fostering dogs for many years, which has taught me how to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy giving dogs the attention and care they need while their family is away. As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience with dogs and love making sure each one feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️
“Unbelievable!!! This was the first time that we gave Zeke to another person. As soon as Zeke saw Hendra he was running to him, and when I came (hesitantly...) to pick him up, he was so calm and content, an indication that he had a great 2 days! Will know where to send next time we need a sitter, and very warmly recommend Hendra! He was extremely courteous and kind, professional and warm at the same time!”
“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!”
“Jess is just awesome! She made me feel at ease to leave my fur baby for nearly 2 weeks, and he was right at home with her and received the best care. Jess sent pics and video updates which warmed my heart and I was able to see Chex was having a great time- getting a lot of snuggles and love! I definitely reccomend Jess and plan to have her sit for us again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Jess 🥰”
“Samantha was great! We communicated every day that we were away. She would give us a daily morning text to let us know how our pups spent the night. Felt very comfortable leaving our dogs and plan on using her again when we take another trip later this month.”
About: I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets. I have a full time job so am available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I work local so if pet sitting at my house, I can check in at lunch time. I have a fenced in backyard and crates if needed. My senior dog is chill and is great with dogs and cats if caring for you pet in my home. For short stays, pets usually do best in their own home with visits from me up to three times a day depending on their needs.
“Jenn provided the best care for our recently adopted french bulldog, Dr. Pepper. She kept intouch with me all weekend and sent lots of pictures. He seemed to really enjoy his stay with Jenn and her family. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“We were nervous about leaving Sammie with someone we didn’t know, but when we did the meet and greet with Tina we knew she was the right person to watch Sammie. She answered all our questions, asked good questions, and she genuinely wanted to make sure Sammie would have the best stay while in her care. We received updates on Sammie’s walks, cuddle time, and if she was eating her food. We also received pictures of Sammie which put a smile on our faces. We were reassured that we had made the right choice. We would absolutely work with Tina again. 😊”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have always had a deep love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind by providing attentive, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. During the school year, I’m available before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, my schedule is much more open, giving me extra time for walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with frequent leashed walks, outdoor play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“This is a review for the entire family because all of them were such a big part of Lila's great weekend! My dog is high energy and also snuggly like velcro and Anmol and Trupti AND their boys gave her an affectionate, energetic weekend with lots of hugs and lots of play time. Will definitely use them again!”
“Corrine took great care of Sadie. She sent us pictures every day, which we appreciated. It looked like Sadie made a lot of new friends. We would not hesitate to leave Sadie with Corrine and her family in the future.”
“Wonderful experience from the meet until pick up. Meg able to accommodate us for a last minute boarding. She sent photos & video daily which was amazing. She also gave us detailed daily updates on how our pupper ate and played. 10 out of 10 experience!”
“Christine was a great dog sitter for our two dogs Timon and Rafika. They got along well with her dog Piper and I could tell by the pictures they were comfortable and enjoyed their time playing, snuggling and sleeping in their normal comfortable spots. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies. Leslie and Rich”
“Brie absolutely loved her time at Meghan’s place! I got daily updates and great communication and could see how happy and comfortable she was in the photos and videos. We felt relaxed and assured that our dog was in excellent care and being treated as if she was part of the family. Meghan even included a little goodie bag and was sad to see Brie go, they’re really bonded. I absolutely recommend Meghan (and Rob) to care for your baby!”
“Melissa went above and beyond with my dog, Buddy. She sent daily pictures with their itinerary. Buddy was spoiled with exercise and attention. I was able to fully relax on vacation. I could see by the pictures that he felt right at home. I highly recommend Melissa!”
“Cheryl had our Leo for several days while we attended a family funeral. Everything was wonderful and Cheryl kept us up to date daily on how he was doing. I highly recommend Cheryl and her family if you need help with you pet. She was highly responsive and the entire experience was just perfect??”

About: Living with my roommate’s two cats was a surprisingly positive experience. At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about sharing the space, but their different personalities quickly grew on me. One was playful and curious, while the other was calm and affectionate. Over time, they made the apartment feel warmer and more like home.
“Shoshana was excellent taking care of my cat for a month. When I arrived my cat was healthy and happy. She provided me constant updates and pictures and was always easy to connect.”
“Catherine is great! I knew from our meet and greet that she is a genuine animal lover! She immediately got down onto the floor to calmly and gently introduce herself to my cat. Dani went right up to her with confidence. Catherine took such good care of my Dani while I was on vacation. She made sure that she had plenty of food and water each day and tended to the litter box. Catherine took time to pet, brush, and play with Dani too. She also took a lot of great photos. I could see from the photos that Dani was thoroughly enjoying Catherine’s company and attention. I will definitely use Catherine in the future and confidently recommend her pet sitting services to others.”
About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
“I can't say enough good things about Mary and Ginny. They cared for our babies for 10 days, visiting twice a day to administer medication. My 2 cats immediately bonded with them, and they even won over my scaredy cat Gizmo. They would spend time, playing and feeding, and sent amazing pictures with updates. Knowing that my babies were well taken care of helped me be able to enjoy my time away. I highly recommend this team for all your pet sitting needs!!”
“I just had Madison watch my kitty for the second time and she is phenomenal!! She cares for him like he is her own and her communication is perfect!! She also happens to take the best pics of him, lol!!! see my first review too!!”

About: As someone whose cat is registered as my (emotional support animal) ESA, I understand how important our feline friends are to us. When I am home for the summer I also help care for our 13 year-old senior cat as well. While I am in NY for schooling, I volunteer with an all-cat shelter, Project Paw, where I assist with their nail trims, medications, and cleaning :). I am especially patient with nervous/fearful cats and understand the importance of allowing them space to acclimate.
About: I love all types of dogs, and am the type of person who can't pass a dog in the street without stopping to say hi and give him/her a pet. I have a dog of my own, Mia, a 7 year old German Shepherd mix. I love her, but she's a handful, so I have experience with dogs who might need a little extra attention and care. I'm a teacher and off for the summer so I have plenty of time during the week (and on some weekends) to walk your pup. Unfortunately, my dog is not the most friendly to others so I cannot host your dog in my home. We'll have fun being out and about though!
“Kerri YOU ARE AN ANGEL, I cannot thank you enough for taking care of my baby girl, Buddher ❤️. I’ve never been away this long from her, but the pics and notes you sent of her couldn’t be more comforting. I appreciate you, thank you!!!”
About: I have some experience with cats from assisting with daily care in a group home setting, including feeding and basic care. While I am still building my experience with cats, I am comfortable learning each cat’s routine and following instructions closely to ensure they are safe and well cared for.

I never bring in personal items and always make sure I clean up after everything I do.
“Wow!!! Jules is amazing!!!! She showed my two sweet kitty cats so much love, care, and attention while I was away. From feeding them, to rinsing their *multiple* bowls, to cleaning their litter boxes PLUS sweeping the room!!! I could not be happier with Jules. I received plenty of photos and videos from their 3 day sitting. My heart is full and I have peace of mind knowing my loves were well taken care of. Will be booking Jules again!”

I currently live in a apartment across the street from a beautiful park with my friendly cats! The space is rather large with extra room I can use for boarding, if you would like your for your pet to be kept separate or crated, as well.

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

Evenings & Weekends: My peak availability is during evenings and weekends, making me a reliable choice for dinner feeds, bedtime routines, long weekend walks, or overnight stays when you need to be away.

“Timothy is hands down the best dog walker Ollie has had. He takes him on actual walks, gives him so much care and attention, and Ollie absolutely loves him. He gets excited every time he hears Timothy is coming! The trust piece is huge for me, and I fully trust Timothy with Ollie. Highly recommend.”
“I can’t express in words the amazing job Shoshana did. I never heard of Rover before and wanted to try it out. Shoshana came out early just to meet my dog so they could know each other. Shoshana came to walk her for the booking and treated my dog like she was her own. Her love and affection for an animal that is not hers is unbelievable. I only wish I knew about Shoshana sooner. I look forward to the next time I can use her service because I know my dog is in good hands with her.”
“IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great. She rcommunicated after each walk and took some cute pictures as well. I was able to have fun on my day trip knowing that Molly was there to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since day one! I grew up with four huskies throughout my lifetime, more recently a lab, and now I’m a cat mom. I love animals so much and feel strongly about loving and protecting them. I have experience caring for both young and older pets. I am also an active person and love to exercise myself and the dog! I work fully from home with occasional travel so I am always looking for ways to get outside and get some movement in. I am home most of the day/week besides the occasional errands and trip to the gym. Ample time for pet care and activities! When I am with your pet, they will be the number one priority! I will make sure they are safe, happy, and always fed/hydrated. Unlimited pets and good boy/girl at all times.
“Carys was great with Harley! She always gave her long walks, was super kind, responsible, and easy to talk to. Communication was always great and I always felt comfortable knowing Harley was in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she works with. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jill went above and beyond for our fur babies!! They loved her and it shows she truly loves the doggies !! She was a welcome while we were away in Scotland!!! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️”
“Jules provided amazing care for our Golden retriever during a recent out of town vacation. It was the first time we left our baby in the care of someone outside the family, but we were comfortable every step of the way! From meeting Jules, to the great updates along the way (including pictures!) it was a perfect experience. Highly recommend across the board!”

I also have puppy experience with training and care. I currently teach high school and am available 3:00pm into the evenings. On the weekends I am available anytime to care for your loved one.

I also have cameras in the backyard to ensure the safety of your pet.
About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: There’s not been a day of my life where we didn’t have at least one dog in the house! I have also worked as a dog walker/petsitter for a small local business for several years. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even turtles and birds! I’d love to care for your pets too!! I work as a dog walker/pet sitter for a small business so I have a slight schedule, but I have plenty of free time every day to see your pets! I have a fenced yard and lots of toys to share! Love and affection is a must when watching any dog. No matter where the sitting is taking place, your dog will be cared for!

“Unbelievable!!! This was the first time that we gave Zeke to another person. As soon as Zeke saw Hendra he was running to him, and when I came (hesitantly...) to pick him up, he was so calm and content, an indication that he had a great 2 days! Will know where to send next time we need a sitter, and very warmly recommend Hendra! He was extremely courteous and kind, professional and warm at the same time!”
“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!”
“Jess is just awesome! She made me feel at ease to leave my fur baby for nearly 2 weeks, and he was right at home with her and received the best care. Jess sent pics and video updates which warmed my heart and I was able to see Chex was having a great time- getting a lot of snuggles and love! I definitely reccomend Jess and plan to have her sit for us again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Jess 🥰”
“Samantha was great! We communicated every day that we were away. She would give us a daily morning text to let us know how our pups spent the night. Felt very comfortable leaving our dogs and plan on using her again when we take another trip later this month.”
About: I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets. I have a full time job so am available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I work local so if pet sitting at my house, I can check in at lunch time. I have a fenced in backyard and crates if needed. My senior dog is chill and is great with dogs and cats if caring for you pet in my home. For short stays, pets usually do best in their own home with visits from me up to three times a day depending on their needs.
“Jenn provided the best care for our recently adopted french bulldog, Dr. Pepper. She kept intouch with me all weekend and sent lots of pictures. He seemed to really enjoy his stay with Jenn and her family. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“We were nervous about leaving Sammie with someone we didn’t know, but when we did the meet and greet with Tina we knew she was the right person to watch Sammie. She answered all our questions, asked good questions, and she genuinely wanted to make sure Sammie would have the best stay while in her care. We received updates on Sammie’s walks, cuddle time, and if she was eating her food. We also received pictures of Sammie which put a smile on our faces. We were reassured that we had made the right choice. We would absolutely work with Tina again. 😊”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have always had a deep love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind by providing attentive, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. During the school year, I’m available before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, my schedule is much more open, giving me extra time for walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with frequent leashed walks, outdoor play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“This is a review for the entire family because all of them were such a big part of Lila's great weekend! My dog is high energy and also snuggly like velcro and Anmol and Trupti AND their boys gave her an affectionate, energetic weekend with lots of hugs and lots of play time. Will definitely use them again!”
“Corrine took great care of Sadie. She sent us pictures every day, which we appreciated. It looked like Sadie made a lot of new friends. We would not hesitate to leave Sadie with Corrine and her family in the future.”
“Wonderful experience from the meet until pick up. Meg able to accommodate us for a last minute boarding. She sent photos & video daily which was amazing. She also gave us detailed daily updates on how our pupper ate and played. 10 out of 10 experience!”
“Christine was a great dog sitter for our two dogs Timon and Rafika. They got along well with her dog Piper and I could tell by the pictures they were comfortable and enjoyed their time playing, snuggling and sleeping in their normal comfortable spots. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies. Leslie and Rich”
“Brie absolutely loved her time at Meghan’s place! I got daily updates and great communication and could see how happy and comfortable she was in the photos and videos. We felt relaxed and assured that our dog was in excellent care and being treated as if she was part of the family. Meghan even included a little goodie bag and was sad to see Brie go, they’re really bonded. I absolutely recommend Meghan (and Rob) to care for your baby!”
“Melissa went above and beyond with my dog, Buddy. She sent daily pictures with their itinerary. Buddy was spoiled with exercise and attention. I was able to fully relax on vacation. I could see by the pictures that he felt right at home. I highly recommend Melissa!”
“Cheryl had our Leo for several days while we attended a family funeral. Everything was wonderful and Cheryl kept us up to date daily on how he was doing. I highly recommend Cheryl and her family if you need help with you pet. She was highly responsive and the entire experience was just perfect??”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teenager and I am obsessed with mine now. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play with new friends so I would love to host your dog in my home which is a fenced in yard. Plenty of space to run and a very clean environment. I am a work from home mom with two boys who are 10 and 12 who also love dogs. because of my schedule, I am able to be home to take care of the pups. I would treat them like my own! They are welcome to Rome in a comfortable large space and run around in the backyard with lots of walks every couple of hours.
