“Bob was wonderful to our nervous little pup! He made sure she was well taken care of and she felt very much at home at his place. Would definitely have her stay again!”
“Richard and Barbara were very warm and welcoming to me and to my dog Maia. They gave her so much attention and affection. I felt like she Maia was in very good hands with them! We will definitely be using Richard and Barbara in the future!”
“Loves dogs. Did great with Eddie. We were on vacation and booked a night of boarding so we could go into the city. Figured out what he liked. Great updates throughout the day. Very clean home. I’d board him with her again. Wish she lived closer to us in Ohio.”
“Ken is such a gem. You can tell he loves dogs and wants to help them have a great day. Our senior dog Marty was right at home and felt so excited to be at his house. The fenced in yard and regular updates of her relaxing in the grass were lovely touches. We'll definitely ask for Ken's help again in the future!”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”
“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”
“Deena provides a warm and friendly environment with a huge enclosed yard perfect for pups of all kinds. She sent us pics at least once a day and kept us well informed about how our pup was doing. This was our first time using Deena and we will do so again!”
“Lexi & Prashanth were fantastic! They sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and took great care of my dog. He was happy and clearly loved his stay. I’d absolutely use them again and highly recommend them!”
“We were so happy that Shelleen and Bill took such good care of our 2 senior labs Bono and Jeter. They made them feel right at home and could tell they bonded with our boys. It’s such a relief knowing that it was a stress free environment for them and they seemed calm and happy when we picked them up to come back home. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“Our beagle gets very emotional when he's not with the family. However, he seemed at ease and very comfortable with Lorrie right away! I loved the short clips she sent us every day showing our little guy having a great time.”
“Michelle and her family are awesome taking care of our beagle. Communication with her is fast and easy. We recommend her and would board our beagle with her again in the future!”
“The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.”
“Rick was beyond the most amazing host. From the moment Riley met him at the meet & greet, I knew my baby would be in good hands. He sent pictures often and updated me on their shenanigans. Can't recommend him more.”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“Carrie was great. She was patient with my dog who can be a bit nervous at times. Sometimes my dog will not eat while I am gone, but she will eat cooked eggs. Carrie was kind enough to cook for my dog so that she wouldn't starve herself. I've given Carrie 5 stars, but for some reason it won't register it. I highly recommend Carrie for your pet.”

“We are so grateful to Alison for taking such wonderful care of our cats, Wrigley and Shea, while my husband and I were away on vacation. Leaving our pets is never easy, but Alison made it so much easier for us to relax and truly enjoy our time away. From the start, Alison was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly caring. She paid close attention to all the little details of their routines and made sure they received plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them, and they were clearly very happy in her care. The daily pictures and updates meant so much to us. Seeing Wrigley and Shea each day, looking happy and comfortable, gave us tremendous peace of mind and made us feel connected to them even while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our two fur babies. Alison went above and beyond, and we are so thankful for the care and love she gave them. We will absolutely be asking Alison to watch Wrigley and Shea the next time we’re out of town. We highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
“We were a bit cautious to leave our kitties after a bad experience with a different pet sitting service. Angelica’s attention detail, photos, updates completely set my mind at ease. She even did walk throughs of the house to make sure the kitties didn’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I didn’t even have to ask her- she could tell I was a bit nervous and took it upon herself to go the extra mile. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie is incredible. She has been super communicative and thorough. It’s such a relief to be able to get away and know that our cats are in such caring and thoughtful hands. Highly recommend.”

“Max was a great sitter for my cat Snow while I was on vacation. Upon meeting with a Meet and Greet, he was attentive to the needs and ensured questions he had were answered. Given my cat needed oral medication, he asked for a demonstration on how to give him the medication to give him in order to ensure he got it delivered correctly. He was punctual for all agreed on times to visit, friendly, and reached out with any questions as needed. I came home to a very happy cat and would not hesitate to rebook with Max again!”
“Kelly has been helping me with my two small dogs, Gigi and Roxie. She is very loving towards them while handling feeding, pee pad cleanup, and whatever else they may need while I am out of town.”
“Kamryn is wonderful! Highly recommend. She was prompt, polite and attentive. She provided daily updates, pictures while we were away. She kept all 4 litter boxes clean and food bowls fresh. My two senior cats are not always easy to please, but she won them over! Will be booking her again for our next trip!”

Schedule a free meet and greet today and COME CHECK OUT THE FARM! You and your pup won't be disappointed... After working for 15 years as an ad executive in NYC I've decided to pursue my passion in working with the animals I love most in this world!

What sets us apart from other sitters is our ability to custom tailor the experience for your pet's needs! Extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, or energy demands. Very fit and physically active so especially well-suited to work with high energy breeds! I work out of a home located in an extremely safe and quiet neighborhood in Red Bank.

Free consultations available for owners who seek additional assurances...our pets are our family and I want you to have full confidence your family members will be cared for in your absence!
“Carrie was great! Within the first 24 hours of her stay our dog, Gilbert, was sick. She contacted me right away and she took him to the emergency veterinarian care. We appreciated the clear, open lines of communication and frequent updates. She had no problem giving him his medicine and special food. He even slept in bed with her. He is bed hog so that's special. He was very well taken care of. Our house was neat and tidy when we returned home. Would book with Carrie again with no hesitation. She is awesome!”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins

“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!”
“Rick was amazing with our 4 month old puppy! It is immediately clear how much he loves dogs and I knew our pup would be in great hands. Gus spent the day with Rick and his dogs and came back very happy and very tired. Rick sent us awesome video updates all day long. We can’t wait to leverage Rick’s services again soon!”
“My beagle doesn't even acknowledge me anymore when we pull up to Mike's because she knows she's usually in for a weekend of taking over his arm chair, window watching and getting a ton of love and attention from him. I have been using Mike for a few years now after couple of frustrating experiences with other sitters. He is absolutely the only one I'd use nowadays as I know how much he loves her and when I go away, I feel 100% comfortable with her in his care. He's communicative, very responsive, sends photos, updates and I feel really lucky to have him nearby! He's even accommodated her late night for me when I had a family emergency. 5/5 stars.”

“Christina was awesome! It was my first time using a sitter from the rove app and she couldn’t have made the experience any better. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup there all day! She truly was amazing, she sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the day which made me believe my pup was in great hands and indeed she was. When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”
“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.”

“Angelica is a great person to take care of your dog or walk them. I would recommend her and use her again in the future if needed. She is always keeping you informed about the walk and if any issues come up. She is always on time and will communicate with you if she is running late.”
“Max is fantastic! Great communication and observant of Nox’s needs. He overheats quickly and Max was considerate to ask if he is ok or if he should end the walk early. Much appreciated will book again 😁”
About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

In high school, it was part of my daily routine to take my dog on a long walk before and after school, giving him the best care despite my busy schedule. As a fourth year student at Penn State, I have a lot of free time as I do not have many classes this semester. I am available during many afternoons when many are unable to care for their pets. I would care for a let in my clients home with the most upmost respect, treating their home as it was mine. I plan to only walk/feed pets, but while I am in my clients home I will leave it as it was

About: For the past 5 years, I’ve had a yellow labrador retriever named Hazel who is very energetic and playful. She’s my best friend! I’ve done house drop ins for friends and family for both dogs and cats to check in and take care of them. 💗 I currently work as a part-time before/aftercare teacher at a couple different elementary schools. I work Monday-Friday but have availability from 9:30am-2:30pm and after 6 pm. My weekends are free! I help my family feed our dog and provide her with water. I also take her on walks, to the park or play fetch in our backyard which has a good amount of running space for her. She’s a cuddler when she’s tired so we snuggle on the couch or play tug of war inside 😊
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.
About: I've been an active dogsitter for nearly 15 years in the DC metro area. Specializing in older pets w/ health needs. My family has had dogs my entire life, so I have 4 decades worth of experience with dogs. Since I don't have a dog of my own (despite being my parents' dog preferred human and living with 2 King Charles Spaniels), I will treat yours like family. I'm a huge dog lover! I currently live in a house with 2 King Charles and 1 cat (acts like a dog). We have a fenced in backyard and for smaller dogs, a doggie door. For over a decade, I've been a trusted dogsitter for a handful of dogs in Washington, DC- references available upon request! Additionally, I have fostered three dogs from Laila's Legacy- 2 pitties and 1 Doberman. As a volunteer, I drove dogs to Adoption Events, served as a Handler, and helped bring pups to vet appointments. All dogs are great, especially the ones who like to snuggle. I've recently moved to New Jersey and am currently seeking full time employment. Until then, if your dog is okay with other animals, they can come stay with me or I'd be happy to dogsit in your home.
About: I’ve always had 3+ pets at a time in my household growing up, always a combination of dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with small and large dogs! I have experience feeding, walking, giving some medicines and playing with all pets. I have experience with aging pets, including senior cats and diabetic dogs requiring insulin. I’m currently working full-time in person, but my boyfriend does work fully remote from our apartment. We are happy to host your pet if they need attention during the day! I’m also available to come by any time after work or on the weekends. I always ensure the environment is safe, nothing that could be harmful is in reach of the pets. I live in an apartment with an elevator and a great area to walk around.
About: I have always loved animals. I have had big dogs and little dogs over the years. I grew up with cats. I love being outside with my 2 goldens. I am currently working part-time and have the time for walks in the morning and evening during the week. My weekends are free along with my days off during the week. I am happy to comply to any particulars you may have at your home for your pet. If they like playing with other dogs I am happy to have a playdate with my 2 golden retrievers.

“Richard and Barbara were very warm and welcoming to me and to my dog Maia. They gave her so much attention and affection. I felt like she Maia was in very good hands with them! We will definitely be using Richard and Barbara in the future!”
“Loves dogs. Did great with Eddie. We were on vacation and booked a night of boarding so we could go into the city. Figured out what he liked. Great updates throughout the day. Very clean home. I’d board him with her again. Wish she lived closer to us in Ohio.”
“Ken is such a gem. You can tell he loves dogs and wants to help them have a great day. Our senior dog Marty was right at home and felt so excited to be at his house. The fenced in yard and regular updates of her relaxing in the grass were lovely touches. We'll definitely ask for Ken's help again in the future!”
“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”
“Deena provides a warm and friendly environment with a huge enclosed yard perfect for pups of all kinds. She sent us pics at least once a day and kept us well informed about how our pup was doing. This was our first time using Deena and we will do so again!”
“We were so happy that Shelleen and Bill took such good care of our 2 senior labs Bono and Jeter. They made them feel right at home and could tell they bonded with our boys. It’s such a relief knowing that it was a stress free environment for them and they seemed calm and happy when we picked them up to come back home. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“Our beagle gets very emotional when he's not with the family. However, he seemed at ease and very comfortable with Lorrie right away! I loved the short clips she sent us every day showing our little guy having a great time.”
“The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.”
“Rick was beyond the most amazing host. From the moment Riley met him at the meet & greet, I knew my baby would be in good hands. He sent pictures often and updated me on their shenanigans. Can't recommend him more.”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“Carrie was great. She was patient with my dog who can be a bit nervous at times. Sometimes my dog will not eat while I am gone, but she will eat cooked eggs. Carrie was kind enough to cook for my dog so that she wouldn't starve herself. I've given Carrie 5 stars, but for some reason it won't register it. I highly recommend Carrie for your pet.”
“Maui had the absolute best time with JoEllen and her family! JoEllen sent so many photos and videos, which I absolutely loved! Maui had the best time! He loved going for the long walk on the beach and from all photos, I can tell he was having a blast playing in JoEllen's backyard! Maui will definitely be visiting again!”
“Nervana looked after my cat Basil for 5 nights while I went to tour apartments out of state, and I couldn’t have chosen a better person to leave him with! I was very nervous about leaving him with someone new, but Nervana sent me lots of updates and it looks like Basil thoroughly enjoyed his stay! Thank you again, Nervana!!”
“Erica is the best! My puppy had so much fun at her house playing with the other dogs. It was my first time leaving him for a couple days so I wanted to make sure he was with someone caring and fit for his personality! I am sure he will be tired for the whole week after picking him up. ?”
“Sean and Dakota were amazing! They took amazing care of our boy, Otis. We got regular updates, pictures and videos. We couldn’t be happier and knowing Otis was so well taken care of and having an absolute blast gave us peace of mind.”
“I recently boarded my 1 year old Frenchie and my 13 year old lab with Mary and Aaron. I could not have been more pleased with my choice. Mary and Aaron (along with their two children-Angus and Allison) cared for my dogs as if they were their own. (Allison had a home-made welcome sign posted on the fence for our arrival). The fact that they have ramps was an added benefit for my older dog. I was constantly updated with status reports and photos which demonstrated that my dogs were having the time of their lives (while on vacation). My dogs were exhausted for days after I picked them up. This family will be my "go to" for boarding and pet sitting. You will not be disappointed. -Jackie D (Locust, NJ)”
“Leaving our beagle Maxine with Stephanie was a great decision for us.. We picked her up a little later than end of day, and Stephanie was flexible enough to accommodate us . Will definitely keep using Stephanie for future dog sitting needs”
“Patricia and her son were amazing hosts to Burberry! They took such great care of him during his stay and Patricia asked many questions about his diet, how he sleeps, etc... which showed me she really went above and beyond! I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a great host for their pet to choose Patricia!”
“Dawn took such great care of our pups while we were away for a week! She shared videos and updates every day without me even asking for them! It was a great experience and we will definitely use her again!”
