She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
“We were hesitant about leaving Max with anyone while we took a vacation. After meeting Carol we we were reassured. She really put us at ease by sending pictures and a video of Max out for a walk. He was well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely book with Carol again when we need a sitter for Max. Thank you!!”

About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.

“Our sitter, Thomas H, took excellent care of our two dogs while traveling out of state for my sons wedding. Thomas kept us engaged with texts and multiple pictures that kept me and my family at ease throughout their stay. We highly recommend Thomas and will definitely rebook his services next time we need a sitter. Rick & Roseann”

“This was our first stay with Christine with our new rescue, Hank. He's a big boy, a great dane, so he's not for everyone - even though he's just a gigantic couch potato. We tried boarding him in the past, but he would become depressed and stopped eating. We made Christine aware, and she worked with us to ensure the best way to deal with this if he should withdraw. However, none of that was necessary. Hank felt at home and loved right away. Sometimes, animals just know! To be honest, I began to worry he wouldn't want to come home! Christine's communication kept us updated during the course of our vacation, so we never worried at all. Thank you Christine!”
“Nicole took such amazing care of our dog Dakota while we were away! We’ve used her twice now, and both times Dakota came home sooo happy. You can really tell Nicole genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She even recommended a great groomer for Dakota, which we really appreciated. She has a nice backyard, and her kids and dogs are super friendly, so Dakota had plenty of fun and social time while staying there. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole — definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Patricia is fantastic. The girls loved her and she sent us pictures while they were with her. The pictures made our day. Thanks so much Patricia for allowing us to have a guilt free vacation.”
“Bailey was very happy to stay and play with Georgia. Danielle was so friendly and welcoming, it was easy to know she would take good care of my pup. She also has an awesome big fenced in backyard for the doggies to run around and get their energy out. Thank you!”
“Betsy is wonderful!! She gave such personalized TLC to our little senior rescue, Bella. Her home is spacious, comfortable and spotless. Excellent communication from booking through entire stay. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much, Betsy!!”
“Matthew and his family were great hosts to our Welsh Terrier Winnie. She is an active dog with a lot of attitude. With their two dogs Henry and Jacks they were able to keep her running, walking, and content. We know our dog had a great time when she comes home spent, worn out, and sleeping for two days. Matthew sent pictures each day and Winnie had a blast. Two thumbs up and we will gladly use Matthew again..if he'll let our 17lb beast back in their home!”

“Christina did a great job checking in on our two cats! Prior to our booking, she took the time to go over all their needs. She went above and beyond during each visit too, like leaving a few treats out for our shy cat to find after she left.”
“Haley went above and beyond! Very pleased with her and her patience with my cats - they are not the easiest to get along with.. shocking, cats that are difficult!

“Nicoletta took such great care of my cat Daisy all week. I received updates and pictures everyday which made it even more special. Although, Daisy was excited to see us, I could tell she was looking for Nicoletta behind us.”
“Melissa did a wonderful job caring for my two cats when my husband and I couldn’t take them with us to our wedding!

Of course, as long as you are comfortable with that.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!

About: Huge dog lover! I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life and ran a successful dog sitting service with my wife for 5 years.

I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're gone. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives personalized care and attention. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and your dog will never be left alone. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for while they're with me. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore.

About: A great pet sitter is like a second best friend to your furry family member. I want to radiate warmth and patience, understanding each tail wag. I’m not just there to feed and walk your dog, i’m there to bond, to give belly rubs, and to ensure your pup feels loved and secure while you're away. It's the peace of mind every dog lover seeks when entrusting their beloved companion to someone else's care. I’m currently working part time and going to school. Although I still have lots of time to spend with my pomsky at home! I feel like it's a mix of feeding, playing, walking, and lots of cuddling going on at my home. My pomsky can be very demanding at times but I do everything I can to make him the happiest he can be! First off I’ll treat any dog with lots of love and care , whether it’s my own furry friend or someone else’s. What I do to be a good pet owner is to care for my furry friend by providing them with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and lots of love and attention. I always make sure all pets have a safe and comfortable living environment, with access to fresh water and a cozy place to sleep. I’ll also prioritize regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations to keep my personal pets healthy. Additionally, as a pet owner i’ll engage in mental stimulation activities, such as interactive toys or training sessions, to keep my pets mentally sharp and happy. Ultimately, it's all about creating a loving and nurturing environment where all pets can thrive! 🐾❤️
About: I have had dogs all my life and absolutely have a soft spot for senior dogs. Currently I have 2 dogs. A Senior Golden Retriever named Skye and a 9 month old Hound-Lab mix named Sonny. Since Sonny is a puppy he pulls on a leash and jumps, I have experience with dogs that have these characteristics. The Dog breeds that I have the most experience with are French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers. I prefer to work with medium/small dog breeds, however, I am open to working with bigger dog breeds as well. I am a full-time student at East Carolina University in North Carolina studying elementary education. I am residing in New Jersey from May 9th- August 10th My schedule varies throughout the week. However my schedule is flexible and I am able to work with you on times and schedules that fits you and your pets needs. I am used to crated dogs and non- crated dogs. I am very experienced in following directions and rules as needed. I also am used to walking dogs every morning and evening if needed. I do ask that there is a list of all animals and how much they eat, what times they are fed, and any special precautions (medicine, eating in separate rooms, different foods, etc.) that are needed for each pet. Lots of playing and petting is to be expected.
“I cannot say enough great things about Nioletta's care of my pets. She goes above and beyond to help make my hectic like this particular week very manageable. She is professional, very friendly and accommodating. I look forward to each experience she is able to provide. Thanks Nicoletta!”

“Corrine is amazing! Joey had a great time with her and his furry friends while we were away. It is the 1st time we left Joey with anyone and would not hesitate to bring him back to Corrine.”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
“Avigail was great with our dogs and they loved staying with her! She sent us pics throughout the day and kept us posted about everything. They came back home so tired from all the playing 😂 Definitely recommend her :)”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“Very appreciative to have taken my pup last minute when I flew home for a wedding. Was great with my pup and he loved playing with her kiddos. Thankful that she was able to give him his medications when asked. Thank you so much, definitely would recommend and use again when back in the area!!”
“Our sitter, Thomas H, took excellent care of our two dogs while traveling out of state for my sons wedding. Thomas kept us engaged with texts and multiple pictures that kept me and my family at ease throughout their stay. We highly recommend Thomas and will definitely rebook his services next time we need a sitter. Rick & Roseann”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Our Goldendoodle was so well cared for and she absolutely loved playing with their son. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was treated like part of the family. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. We’re so grateful for the loving care and great communication! We will definitely book again!”

“This was our first stay with Christine with our new rescue, Hank. He's a big boy, a great dane, so he's not for everyone - even though he's just a gigantic couch potato. We tried boarding him in the past, but he would become depressed and stopped eating. We made Christine aware, and she worked with us to ensure the best way to deal with this if he should withdraw. However, none of that was necessary. Hank felt at home and loved right away. Sometimes, animals just know! To be honest, I began to worry he wouldn't want to come home! Christine's communication kept us updated during the course of our vacation, so we never worried at all. Thank you Christine!”
“Nicole took such amazing care of our dog Dakota while we were away! We’ve used her twice now, and both times Dakota came home sooo happy. You can really tell Nicole genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She even recommended a great groomer for Dakota, which we really appreciated. She has a nice backyard, and her kids and dogs are super friendly, so Dakota had plenty of fun and social time while staying there. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole — definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Bailey was very happy to stay and play with Georgia. Danielle was so friendly and welcoming, it was easy to know she would take good care of my pup. She also has an awesome big fenced in backyard for the doggies to run around and get their energy out. Thank you!”
“Betsy is wonderful!! She gave such personalized TLC to our little senior rescue, Bella. Her home is spacious, comfortable and spotless. Excellent communication from booking through entire stay. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much, Betsy!!”
“Matthew and his family were great hosts to our Welsh Terrier Winnie. She is an active dog with a lot of attitude. With their two dogs Henry and Jacks they were able to keep her running, walking, and content. We know our dog had a great time when she comes home spent, worn out, and sleeping for two days. Matthew sent pictures each day and Winnie had a blast. Two thumbs up and we will gladly use Matthew again..if he'll let our 17lb beast back in their home!”
“From our first communication, Kristin was responsive and thoughtful. She offered a meet-and-greet and we took her up on it. Scout was at home immediately and I felt comfortable booking right away. We were gone for 8 days, which is a long time to leave your your little furry one. Kristin shared regular updates, often enough so that every time I thought about how she was doing, there was a picture of her face - safe and happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kristin and would definitely ask for her help again if the whole family is traveling.”
“Kai LOVES being with Crystal and her kids! They give him a lot of love and attention. He has stayed with them a few times and Crystal will always be my first choice whenever I need a sitter for Kai.”
“My Leah is a wonderful dog but can become sad when we leave her. Joanna was amazing!!! She was very interactive with Leah the whole time she cared for her. Took her out on walks and played with her in her back yard. She also kept me updated the whole time. Sent pictures and updates. She really cared for Leah. I would give her more stars if I could. My best experience with a Rover sitter.”
