“We left our two pups with Bob and they couldn’t have been in better hands. We were anxious to board them since they’ve never been away from us, but Bob put as at ease with text and picture updates on how they were getting along. We absolutely plan to use Bob again and would gladly recommend him to anyone that wants worry free pet boarding!”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
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!
“Lori was absolutely amazing!! I had to leave my baby for 10 days and I was more than grateful to know he was in such good hands. She updated often and he looked happier than ever in each picture and video! I would use Lori every single time to watch my Fur baby!! She’s the best thank you so so much”
“Linda was wonderful and watched our 1 year old dog while we vacationed for the week. She took the time to send plenty of photos and took our dog on many fun walks around the neighborhood each day! Our dog was a rescue and tends to be very nervous and cautious in new situations. Linda took extra care to make sure he was happy and comfortable each day. I highly recommend booking with Linda!”
“I’ve always been satisfied with the ‘sitters’ I have used through Rover but I have to say Julie is above and beyond. We had a nice meet and greet before I made the booking. I knew right away that she was genuine and really enjoyed taking care of dogs. She sent me updates and always a pic or 2. She was flexible with my schedule and so reassuring about taking good care of Jimmy. I will definitely be using Julie again!!! And again thx Julie!”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Megan and her husband Bryan! After our initial meet & greet we felt so comfortable boarding our dog with them. Our dog can be a bit skittish and slow to warm up, but at Megan and Bryan’s it happened so quickly and easily, they’re pros! We also received so many updates & pictures which we greatly appreciated! We would recommend them to anyone and everyone 😊”
“We had a great experience with Lex as Mochi’s sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One thing we truly appreciated is her patience and understanding, even when we were running late picking Mochi up, she was more than willing to wait and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Mochi came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely trust Lex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!”
“Wish I had found Skye sooner. Skye took such good care of my girl… day and night. Constant updates, pics, and incredible communication. The best sitter yet!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Joshua was amazing with our boy. He send pictures and shared cute moments during the walks. He was sweet and caring. I would definitely recommend him for taking care of your pet.”
“I’m speechless! Shelleen is a godsend! I recently moved to the area and was nervous about trying a new sitter but she has exceeded all my expectations and my anxious dog was very comfortable and happy staying with her. I received lots of updates and advice and can’t wait to use her services again! Very professional, patient and accommodating to our needs.”

“So amazing! Very accommodating and attentive and willing to keep in touch with you. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs, knowing they would be well taken care of.”
“Kristy was a great communicator and has a wonderful personality. She always does a meet and greet before stays which made me feel secure in showing her around the place and her meeting the pets. She gave my cat insulin subcutaneously with no issue and her extra care and attention means the world!”
“Frances did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were on vacation. With 3 Rescues inside and 2 TNR's outside, it's not easy to find someone to take that on. Everything went great and she kept us informed with texts & pics after each visit. She made our vacation so much more enjoyable.”
About: I have helped to take care of my boyfriend’s brother’s cats before and one of my close friends cats. Growing up I had a family friend who had a couple cats and I remember begging my parents to take me to their house simply so I could play with their cats. It’s my dream to have my own cat some day!
“Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊”
“Outstanding care for two special‑needs cats, last‑minute booking, and stellar communication! Skye did a truly fantastic job watching my two cats, both of whom need extra care. One is blind, and the other is diabetic and receives twice‑daily subcutaneous injections, and Skye administered medications exactly on schedule. From the start, Skye was incredibly kind, flexible, and professional—especially given how last‑minute the booking was due to an emergency. I received regular updates, which were so reassuring. I appreciated knowing that medications were given on time, feeding routines were followed, and my cats were comfortable and safe. The initial meet-and-greet was warm and professional, which immediately put me at ease. Skye’s attention to our cats’ special needs was exactly what we were hoping for in a sitter. Thank you so much, Skye — your flexibility, compassion, and reliability are deeply appreciated. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend your care to anyone who has pets with medical or unique needs”
“Jon was fantastic with my two cats, spending even more time with them than agreed upon. Over several visits on a long weekend, he gave them excellent care and lots of play. The sociable one fell for him immediately, and even my nervous girl warmed up over a short time. He’s got great energy and a clear love of animals. Book him today!”
“Jim took great care of our kitty! Even though she is super shy and wouldn’t say hello to him, he kept us updated on how much food she was eating and her bathroom habits! Was able to have a stress free vacation knowing she was in good hands!”
“Wonderful Experience with Kristin! ~* We recently had the pleasure of having Kristin care for our two fur children (Mimi and Luci) while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From our initial meeting, Kristin showed genuine interest and care for our kitties~* Throughout our time away, Kristin provided daily photo updates and descriptions of how our cats were doing. This was incredibly reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing our fur bebes were in good hands. Not only did Kristin handle the basics of feeding and litter box maintenance flawlessly, but she also took the time to play and interact with our cats, which we (and they) appreciated immensely. It was evident that she genuinely loves animals and knew how to make our kitties feel comfortable and loved. In addition to the excellent care of our cats, Kristin also took care of our home beautifully. Everything was in perfect order upon our return, which was an added bonus after a long drive home. Overall, we cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and obvious love for animals make her an exceptional choice for anyone in need of pet care. We will definitely be calling on her again for all our future pet sitting needs! Thank you again, Kristin! ~* Love, Jessie, Russell <3 Mimi & Luci”
About: As a shelter volunteer I have cared for and socialized many cats, in addition to taking on 2 medial fosters, a cat that was hit by a car and a kitten that needed care after a leg amputation, both recovered and did find their forever homes. We recently lost our coon/calico girl who thought she was a dog and we have our rescued sweet senior black cat named Riley. Both our cats and dogs travel with us, so I am experienced in all areas of care. Feeding, medication and cleaning litter boxes can also be arranged if you are away for an extended trip.
About: I have had pets, primarily cats my entire life including kittens to senior cats. I have also pet sit for friend's cats and received rave reviews. I have some experience with medications if needed. Whether they need a quiet buddy to sit with them or someone to play with, Cat Grandma will love them like her own babies.
“Having Katie watch Winks and Wilson was one of the best decisions we made while out of town. She spent a lot of quality time playing with them each day, picked them catnip from the garden, and supurrvised (lol) them on the porch! Katie is our go to for the boys in the future! She’s the best!”
“Our kitties loves Nicholas and it was so comforting to know that they were being well-cared for. He is such a zen person and remarkably kind. Even my shy girl made “friends” and he spent a good amount of time with them. My sick kitty got her medication and was in good condition when we got home. We were so happy seeing how much better they were compared to previous trips. Will definitely be using Nicholas again in the future!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years now! My top priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable in my care.

“Skye was awesome from start to finish caring for our girl with short notice! My dog has a tough time with separation anxiety and Skye was great with helping her feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a dog mom of 2 awesome dogs. I had a dog that passed away last year who was paralyzed and had required special care for 7 years until she passed away at 13 years old. My pets are my family and I would treat your fur babies the same way. I also have 2 cats who are equally awesome. I am 59 and have had many kinds of breeds in my life that have required special types of care. I have been doing pet care for many years and it’s undoubtedly the most enjoyable job because I get to visit and play with your animals. What can be better than that! I am very responsible and most importantly reliable. Let me lighten your load and give you peace knowing your animals are in good hands. I am retired so I do not have a set schedule so I am available at any time you need. I have a lot of free time and can work around my home schedule easily I would follow whatever instructions you give, respect your home and animals and I am a very responsible pet owner. I would most definitely spend quality time with your pet. Pet care is my only job. I have been doing it for years so I have a super flexible schedule . I am available 7 days a week if my schedule permits . My pets are part of our family and are pretty spoiled. There are 3 people at home and my husband and I both work from home so they get a lot of attention . If I come to your home, I will respect your home, your animals, and I would treat your pet as if they were my own.
About: I am extremely flexible with my schedule and can typically help out last minute. I’m very organized, thorough, careful, and caring. I have cared for both pets and children for as long as I can remember and have always been told I had a natural gift in doing so. I am in a transition period for my full-time job in sales, and will have FULLY OPEN AVAILABILITY this summer to dedicate to you and your best friend 🐾 I am an at home worker with a very flexible schedule and can be available VERY early mornings as well! I live locally and would love to help out. I am extremely active and love taking dogs on long walks, playing games with them, and tailoring my care to any specific needs. I have a big apartment and a large dog (golden retriever/labradoodle mix - VERY sweet and friendly). Finn has stayed with dog breeds of all types and has never been aggressive (or anything but TOO submissive 😂) around all dogs. We have a 6 year old who stays with us every other weekend and Finn is as gentle with him as he would be an infant. He is truly the sweetest dog on the planet and would never hurt a fly. If you are not comfortable with your pet being with another dog, I would happily watch the dogs in your home and keep them separate.

About: I provide in-home pet care with gentle nail trims and basic upkeep during visits, so dogs stay relaxed and avoid stressful car rides or groomer trips. I have years of hands-on experience with dogs through fostering, walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m calm, patient, and comfortable with nervous or high-energy dogs. All care is done at your pet’s pace with safety and comfort as the priority. I have flexible availability including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My calendar is always kept up to date and recurring visits are more than welcome. I use calm handling techniques, follow owner instructions closely, and never rush pets, especially during nail trims. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and home security and will always reach out if anything seems off.
“Karma was so excited to arrive at Mary and Aaron’s house! He remembered it from our meet and greet months earlier and couldn’t wait to get in the yard to play. He had a great day and came home exhausted and happy! We will definitely be bringing him there again.”
“Janell was great! She watched our hyper 2 year-old Bernese Mt. Dog on very short notice. Our dog came back happy, well fed and well exercised. We could tell our dog had a great time from the big smile on her face. I can't recommend her enough!”
“I had a doctor's appt and I had just gotten my puppy on Saturday and they were able to accommodate my Snoopy. They are a caring and delightful couple with a beautiful family themselves..I will definitely be booking more services.”

We look forward to booking a follow-up date when the opportunity comes up.”
About: Hey there, I am an experienced dog sitter who would love to look after your pet. I am available for check ins during the work day as my work is flexible and remote. Price would depend on time spent and distance from Tinton Falls. I also have a lovely, fenced in 3 acer property in Tinton Falls that is heaven for all breeds. My mother and I have a 2 year old Lab Hank who’s friendly as can be and loves to play. We can set up meet and greets before hand so you can see the property and the dogs get a chance to meet. Price on boarding is subject to dogs needs. All dogs must be 100% potty trained unless it’s a puppy in training then we can work out a price and I can mimic and continue your training to keep your pet consistent. I offer walks any time open for price discussion based on the dogs on lead training I can do house sitting but prefer boarding as I have of my own. House sitting pricing would be based on the needs and responsibilities required. I currently work from home and have flexible hours. This makes me free during the normal business hours for walks or feedings. I also have free time at night if needed. I have a huge fenced in yard (3 acres) for your dog to run and play. I live with my mother who works from home so someone is always here. We have one Dog Hank a 2 year old yellow lab with lots of energy for new friends. He is very submissive and has never had an issue with another dog or humans.
“She is responsive and accommodating. She took in my dog on short notice and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. She is friendly and easy to talk to. She gave detailed reports on the daily routine. I would certainly rebook again when I am in the area.”
“Katie was wonderful with Austen. I hired her last minute for doggy day care and she had everything ready for him. He was very happy when I got there. She sent me a pic even though it was only for 5 hours. I highly recommend her.”
“Linda was amazing with Peanut. She made her feel so at ease and happy that she ate her food, plus her puppy's food. This is unusual for my nervous little girl. She took great care of them while they played and enjoyed their time together.”
About: I've had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. In college, I fostered over 10 dogs and cats before they found their forever home. Recently, I raised and trained a dog of my own which taught me all the necessities of being a great dog mom:) My sweet Luna is a five-year-old border collie filled with lots of love for new people and furry friends. I am super eager to help whoever may need it! I'm working a remote job so my schedule is super flexible! I am able to take my breaks whenever I want and can most likely adhere to your schedule. I have the means of transportation to go to clients' homes as well as bring them to my pet-friendly apartment. I live by multiple parks within a 5-minute walk so I am able to spend lots of time outside. My number one priority is making you and your furry friend as happy as possible.
“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and truly love being around animals. From playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent cats and cuddly seniors, I’m comfortable with all personalities. I’m young, active, and enjoy making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priorities. Currently work retail full time 8 hours shifts with 2 days off a week that vary. I am available for house sitting however please keep in mind that I will have to leave your home to go to work. Although I can’t take care of pets in my home I have years of experience taking care of pets in other people’s home. I follow routines laid out and provide frequent updates
About: I’ve become the go-to person among my friends for pets that need extra care or have specific routines. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s normal schedule. As a dog owner myself, I truly empathize with how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize clear, thoughtful communication—keeping you updated and reassured, while also giving you peace of mind to enjoy your time away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekday and weekend afternoons, and I truly enjoy being around dogs. 😊 I’m very mindful and respectful of a dog’s home environment and personal space. I take my time building trust and focus on creating a calm, safe presence so they feel comfortable and secure.
“Olivia was so kind with Wally. She even cleaned up an accident that Wally had. She sent us lots of photos and provided us updates. We look forward to working with Olivia again.”
About: Hi there, I’m Jackie! . I have various experience with dogs as my family and I have always had dogs growing up. I also have fostered service dogs with a service dog organization in college as I took on the responsibility of living/taking care of three dogs (not all at once, I fostered three) in my college apartment, keeping up with their training, exposure, and more. I’m proud to say they are all full time service dogs to their recipients! I will do my absolute best to make you and your dog feel comfortable and happy with my work ethic. Knowledge of your pup is crucial to every stay as I would like to know social levels, fears, likes, dislikes, favorite past times, or they’re a couch potato or active to make their stay great! I’d like to know a dog’s boundaries so a meet and greet would be great so I can interact with them with their parents. I also love cats. They never fail to make me laugh with their personality and find them intriguing as no cat is the same. It is crucial to have a successful meet and greet whether they’re social or a ghost so the cat won’t stress. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I like to incorporate dogs into my routine as I like to be active from going to walks or just having fun depending on the weather. I love a good movie buddy or someone to walk around town with. As updates, I love to send photos of your dogs to your number. I enjoy seeing photos of my dogs when I’m away so I know it’s a relieving feeling seeing your pup happy. I will always do my best to ensure your dog is happy and healthy in my home or yours. I understand the nervousness owners may feel leaving their pets with someone else. I am hoping you are available via text if I need a question answered
“Heidi does such a great job with my 14 year old Pomsky. He’s a sweet dog but as he gets older he gets sidetracked on his walks but really enjoys them. I feel totally comfortable when Heidi is there to take care of him.”
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs. Had a 120lb lab mix for 12 years so I am not intimidated by any dog size! I work remote 2x a week and tend to stay local on the weekends. I am available during my remote days to tend to dogs during the morning, my lunch break and after hours. I am available almost every night as well after work. I had an electric fence for my dogs growing up but am very familiar with fenced in yards as well. I am also very comfortable with crating dogs as well
About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping with family animals, including feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care. Love nothing more! I’m working part time, so I have plenty of time to be with the pups! Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday are my most available days! No times are an issue with me! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe environment at all times. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, energy levels, and surroundings to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of each owner’s instructions and home, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“Jim walked my dog Rogan while my Dogwalker was away. He was great (on time, professional, experienced, affectionate, and playful)! Rogan was a very happy pup! I will definitely be reaching out to Jim again!”
About: In all my 22 years of life, I have always had a dog and have assisted in feeding, bathing, and walking the dogs I’ve had. I’ve always been an animal person even considered becoming a vet at one point. Whenever I am at someone’s home, you can find me hanging out with their pet wether it’s a dog or cat or even a snake!

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, including seniors, high-energy breeds, rescue dogs, and pets that require extra patients or special attention. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Safety is always my top priority, whether we are going on walks, spending time, outdoors, or relaxing at home. I’m attentive to details, reliable schedules, and committed to providing loving, dependable care. I’m especially good with anxious or rescue dogs who may need a calmer, reassuring presence. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every animal as if they were my own; with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply quiet, companionship, I’m happy to provide the care attention that helps them feel happy and secure. I know pets are family, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I am currently a college student, with my classes being fully remote, so I have no restrictive schedule for pet care. My assignments are completed from home, so I do not have a travel period. Currently, I am not offering pet care from my home, as I have two dogs already living there. When it comes to my client’s home, I ensure all entrances and exists are secure as to prevent pets from leaving. I keep easily accessible spaces clean from items the pets may try to come in contact with. I am more than happy to accommodate for my clients with specialities they require for their pets.
“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!!”
“Upon reading reviews here on Rover, I was drawn to Nick’s profile; he seemed sincere, genuine, and caring. My instincts were correct and he has gone above and beyond to make sure my dog had the care and exercise that she needed. His punctuality is exemplary, as are his communication skills. I’m grateful to have found Nick, and I’m sure my Gracie is too.”
“Morgan was great. You can tell she's an animal lover and just an overall happy person. Always a little nerveracking entrusting your pup to a stranger, but Morgan's vibrance helps put the nerves at ease. I would reccomend her to others.”

“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!”
“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”
“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!”
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!
“Lori was absolutely amazing!! I had to leave my baby for 10 days and I was more than grateful to know he was in such good hands. She updated often and he looked happier than ever in each picture and video! I would use Lori every single time to watch my Fur baby!! She’s the best thank you so so much”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Lex as Mochi’s sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One thing we truly appreciated is her patience and understanding, even when we were running late picking Mochi up, she was more than willing to wait and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Mochi came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely trust Lex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!”
“Wish I had found Skye sooner. Skye took such good care of my girl… day and night. Constant updates, pics, and incredible communication. The best sitter yet!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Joshua was amazing with our boy. He send pictures and shared cute moments during the walks. He was sweet and caring. I would definitely recommend him for taking care of your pet.”
“I’m speechless! Shelleen is a godsend! I recently moved to the area and was nervous about trying a new sitter but she has exceeded all my expectations and my anxious dog was very comfortable and happy staying with her. I received lots of updates and advice and can’t wait to use her services again! Very professional, patient and accommodating to our needs.”
About: My wife and I share a love of dogs and have raised many throughout our lives. We will provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. We offer personalized care that meets the needs of your dog, making our home, their home, away from home. We have experience administering medications, caring for senior dogs, taking dogs for walks and have a fenced in yard for active pups. We are recently retired and currently do not have a dog. We have no children living at home, although we have an active home with many dog loving grandchildren that visit and since they all have their own dogs, will love playing with yours. We are currently retired and have time to dedicate to your pet. We enjoy being outside and would love to spend time with your dog by either walks, playing in the yard or visiting the park. Our home is pet friendly, allowing your dog to roam freely. We have a fenced in yard for play and a deck that dogs enjoy sunning themselves on. Going for a walk, taking time to understand your dogs needs and just spending time with your dog is our priority.
“Michelle was wonderful with Koda and a great relief for me leaving my dog while I was out of the country for a week. I would recommend her to any dog parent. She sent daily pictures and my dog was healthy and happy. She will be my first choice the next time I cannot take my dog with me.”
“Lorrie watched my two pups for 4 days the second week of April. It was apparent from our initial meeting in March that she really loves animals and that she knows her stuff. Lorrie indicated that her previous career was a veterinary technician for many years, which put my mind at ease. Her home is set up perfectly to attend to the needs of the dogs in her care. The home features a large, fenced in yard which allows dogs to get their outdoor time several times a day. She sent me daily text updates which included photos of my dogs. Being 600 miles away, the daily updates were very much appreciated. When I picked up my pups they were happy, healthy and they both gave her farewell kisses. Nice! I highly recommend Lorrie to anyone considering a pet sitter while you are out of town.”

“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. 😊”
“Kali was a great choice, she took great care of our dog( who can be challenging at times) She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Britney is amazing! My dog can sometimes be a little iffy about strangers but she has such great energy that he warmed up immediately. I really had absolutely no worries leaving him with her for a stay. Very flexible with scheduling and communicative with lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Melissa took such great care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent me pics and updates at least once a day. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care, I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
