“We were nervous about leaving our anxious, 2yr. old Bernadoodle, Rosie, with strangers, but Yanni's responsiveness and friendly nature put us at ease. Her home looked clean and well maintained. Throughout our weekend away, Yanni sent us updates with adorable photos, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands. We appreciated that she was taken on several walks. While Rosie is not playful with other dogs and prefers humans, I'm glad that she had some time with Yanni's dogs. We would not hesitate to send Rosie there again, and we're grateful she has a place to go!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. Cats aren’t one-size-fits-all and some want space, some crave affection, and others need time and patience to feel comfortable. I’m attentive, gentle, and always meet each cat where they are. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I take the time to understand their routine, boundaries, and preferences. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, respected, and cared for in their own way. I’m here to understand, support, and care for all cats
“Ysela took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She was available for a last min weekend trip. She was incredibly responsive and took notes on how to care for our cat. We were updated on each visit with photos and feedback on our pet’s behavior and demeanor. We will absolutely have her take care of our cat again.”
“Taylor was absolutely incredible with our two cats from daily updates to pictures. Our one cat has diabetes needing insulin twice a day. She came for a meet and greet and was absolutely wonderful with both our cats. I would highly recommended Taylor especially if you have animals with medical conditions!”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of our family! Our first cat, Meeko, was born with a disability and ever since caring for Meeko, we've always had at least four rescue cats in our home. Over the years, we've cared for cats of all ages, personalities and needs. We're experienced with feeding routines, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes and making sure your cat feels comfortable and happy while you're away. We understand that every cat is unique, and we'll take the time to learn their individual habits, preferences and routines. We will love your kitty like our own!
About: Hi there! I would love to help look after your pets. I was raised with cats, evening fostering kittens and elder cats with my mom, and I often help out with my parents and siblings pets while they’re gone. I’m able to provide light first aid care from my fostering experience, so would be comfortable with administering medicine and any other quirks that your pet may have!
About: I currently have two cats of my own, Linus and Liam, so I understand their routines, quirks, and the level of care they need every day. I am very comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, brushing, enrichment activities, and reading their body language to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I have also trained both of my cats to do simple tricks like “sit” and “paw,” so I’m always happy to add a little enrichment or playtime based on your cat’s personality. My goal is to make sure your cat feels secure and comfortable in their own space while you are away, and I treat every cat as if they were my own.
About: I've had cats my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from playful kittens to senior cats with medical needs. I've also cared for stray cats, helping them build trust and feel safe in a home environment. Because of this experience, I'm comfortable with a wide range of feline personalities, whether they're outgoing and playful or shy and independent. I'm experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, administering routine medications, and recognizing when a cat may need extra attention or a quieter environment. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, respected, and cared for while their owners are away.

“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition!

Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”
“Aleja was absolutely wonderful with Gus! From the moment we connected, she was kind, gentle, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Aleja made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a very happy pup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“I am super grateful that Porkchop was able to stay with Estefania. He had a blast! She was very sweet and sent tons of videos so I got to see my boy having a fun time. I know he was in great hands.

About: I have been taking care of pets since my first own pet, at around age five. Since then, my love for animals just grew and I can’t see my life without being around furry friends. I’ve been always helping family and friends to watch their pets when they are away for vacation so, I will love to host your pet in their new home away from home. I am a stay at home mom, so between the daily routine , I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet attention, love and playtime. I care for pets with love and respect. I always follow owners instructions and do my best to understand pet’s needs. I love to play with the pets and give them some love.

About: Take the trip, make the memories, we will spoil your dog. Dogs have been part of our family ever since we were little. I couldn't imagine our home without the dogs that have been part of our lives growing up. My parents have always been heavily involved in animal rescue and volunteer/run a shelter near their home. Every pet has their own personality, their own story to tell - and we just love to be a part of their lives. We work from home so we're always here to take the pooches in the yard or for a nice walk at the large park right next-door to our home so there's plenty of space for them to get out and play. We have a fenced in yard, so your pup can enjoy being outside with a little bit of freedom. We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet. Our kids love to play with the dogs outside, so you can count on extra love and plenty of fun. Our pup, Haley, passed this winter after 14 wonderful year of being a part of our family and we'll be sure to treat your dog like they are as well. My husband works from home, so he is always here to play & let the dogs out and loves the extra company here in his office. We have a nice big fenced in yard, so plenty of space to run around or just enjoy the sunshine for a bit. We're also right next to a nice park, perfect for our walks. We have extra dog beds and plenty of toys because we always want the pooches to be comfy and have lots of fun.
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”

But I’m open on weekends and nights! Weekends are pretty open both Saturday and Sunday. Nights I’m available for walks and drop ins after 5pm! I have a fenced in yard. However I am going to prefer to come to your house. My dog is a queen and would rather me not bring home dogs. Lol.

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.
About: I have experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through these roles I cared for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs while learning how to recognize signs of stress, illness, and discomfort. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adults, and seniors and I understand the importance of maintaining routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. As a veterinary assistant, I also have experience handling animals using fear free techniques and compassion, giving owners peace of mind that their fur babies are in capable hands. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like family. I'm currently on summer break from college so I will be available for bookings through June-mid August. I am available for weekends and weekdays when needed. I focus on maintaining your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and any other care requirements. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you're away by providing reliable, attentive care in their familiar environment
About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.
About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.
About: I have worked as a veterinary technician for the last 10 years. I am very comfortable giving any necessary medications and injections your pet may need. I'm also Animal CPR certified. I'm a 2018 Rutgers University graduate with an animal science degree. I love working with all animals. I am excited to meet new people and new pets! I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats and have many cats of my own! Can't wait to meet you! I live in Flanders NJ. I am available for daily drop ins throughout the day. I can also do overnight stays when you are traveling. Your dog would always be on a leash / harness before any door opened. Your dog would be crated if mentioned for their safety. I have 2 cats that live in my apartment.
About: I have grown up with various types of pets for the 20 years of my life. I had two Labradors since I was young, they are not around any more. We have a large yard for plenty of running and playing for any type of dog. We are a big family so there will be someone to play with them. I have pet sat for a friend of my mom for two medium sized dogs for three weeks. I am available on Tuesday mornings because I have class at 6:30 at night and free any time from Thursday through Sunday. According to my sister's weiner dog, I am very good at tug-of-war. We have also extra toys that they can play with here and at home.
About: Hi there! My name is Melanie and I'm 19. I've taken care of pets my whole life, including my childhood cat of 16 years and dog of 8 years, who have taught me how to care for animals of any age! Over the last 8 years, my family and I have fostered countless litters of kittens and puppies. This has given me a lot of experience taking care of dogs and cats with any personality! I currently have a 8-year-old hound. My pup is a medium sized dog, so I would feel most comfortable with smaller to medium sized dogs! I am a college student with lots of free time between and after classes! Most of my mornings, afternoons, and weekends are free to drop in and take care of pets! During drop-ins and walks, I'll make sure to keep up with any routines your pets may have. This includes feeding schedules, walking schedules and locations, play time, crate time, etc.
“Bridget walked my dog, and she was excellent. I trusted her to go into my home without my being there. She’s very communicative, friendly, and is wonderful with my pup. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have had cats for 10 years, walked my friends dogs and babysat them, cared for birds and fishes, I love animals of all kinds! I currently work an afternoon to evening job so I have time in the mornings and early afternoons! I also enjoy exercise so its a good way to get walks in for me! I currently do not offer services in my own home, but animals are family members to me. That means dignity should be taken account for, how they are treated, trust and safety is a huge compliment to me, so I find it very important that they feel loved and safe.

“Shaun and his family were an amazing host! He took very good care of our dog, taking her on daily walks, playing with her and sending frequent updates and pictures. We highly recommend Shaun and will look for him in the future.”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”

“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Lisa and her family was amazing and very affectionate with my furbaby. She sent periodic updates and pics. My dog was very well cared for by Lisa and her children. Her dog bear is adorable and playful. Ollie enjoyed his time with Bear and Lisa’s family. Thank you so much for making the process so easy. I would definately book again in a heartbeat and recommend you to anyone!”

“I cannot say enough about how happy we are that we left Cooper with Natalie and Kevin. Communication was so easy - very responsive. Pictures all week long at various times of the day that allowed us to see our puppy happy and healthy during his stay. Both Kevin and Natalie are so sweet and you can tell just how much they love dogs! We recommend them wholeheartedly and will absolutely leave our pup in their care again. We are so thankful!!!”
“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”
