“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Carol and Dimitri were wonderful with our little Honey. They took great care of her, and gave her lots of love. We will definitely look forward to having her stay with them again.”
“Our dog, Millie had a great extended stay with Deena! When meeting Deena, it’s immediately noticeable that she loves dogs and just has a natural, nurturing relationship with them. She was very attentive during Millie’s visit and sent daily pictures, videos and updates. I’m sure Millie loved the added bonus of the attention of Deena’s sons, as well. I definitely recommend her and would have Millie stay with her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“What a great dog sitter!! Teddy is our 11 yr old Morkie with diabetes, so he needs insulin injections every day. Teddy stayed with Megan and her husband for an entire week. They were so nice and accommodating, and going out of their way to make Teddy comfortable in his nighttime routine. Their two little dogs got along well with Teddy, and I got pics and a short caption most days. When I picked him up, he was as happy and lively as when I dropped him off. I will definitely be using Megan again!”
“I can't recommend Victoria highly enough! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, and I received regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine was maintained and that all of their needs were met. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend Victoria. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I love dogs and look forward to meeting your loved one! I plan on treating your pup the way I would treat my own, with love! I love getting a chance to hang out with as many dogs as possible. I have experience in dog watching my family's and friend's dogs and I want to gain more experience. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate your pet by dropping in to play, take your dog for a walk, or dog sit. I know what it's like to have a busy and hectic schedule and would love to help you by caring for your pet. I live near trails and like to spend walking them. Your dog will be in responsible hands until you return. I enjoy spending time with puppies as well as senior citizen dogs and every age in between. Please let me know how I can best serve your pet. I work on the road and make my own schedule so I can come visit your pet as often as needed! I love the flexibility in my schedule so that I can have multiple passions I have a cat at home but she is very friendly. I also live in Red Bank so can go for walks around town with your dog!
About: I’ve had a dogs my entire life. I love them all big and small. I’ve also fostered for the last 20 years. I love all dogs and have 4 of my own. I’d love to pamper your pup too! I am currently a stay at home mother and have plenty of free time to walk or help care for pets. I have mornings and afternoons free. I have 4 very spoiled rescues. We have a fenced in yard but I never leave my dogs outside alone. My dogs are not crated but I would crate a visiting pet for safety if I was not home.
“Cream Cheese had a wonderful time with Shelley and his new doggo buddies. He settled in and got comfortable quickly. I was impressed with the level of care and communication throughout his stay.”
“Billy was wonderful with my girl April. She had friends to play with, plenty of cuddle time and walks. Would definitely board her with him in the future. Daily pics helped to see how happy she was.”
“Sarah is a godsend. We had out-of-town guests coming for a visit and our plans were solidified; our usual sitter had an unexpected engagement, leaving us scrambling to find someone to watch our rescue beagle, Sherlock. Our poor pup had a very rough start and has severe separation anxiety, and since we summer in our condo in Highlands, he cannot be left alone, or he will howl incessantly with his unnerving high shriek of terror (poor boy). We searched on Rover for days, and then we found Sarah. She responded quickly to our inquiry. Yay! Now, I’ve been a customer on Rover for years (with our previous beagle), and Sarah had to be the utmost diligent. She requested proof of shots, she provided a detailed questionnaire for us to fill out before meeting Sherlock and we had a lengthy phone conversation about his needs/habits/schedule, etc. Thorough indeed, which I wholeheartedly appreciate because my pet is one of my favorite family members! Once at Sarah’s house, she was kind, loving, provided Sherlock with toys, a safe space to relax, and sent several updates and photos. She followed my instructions for feeding and bathroom/walking outings. We felt sooooo at ease that we could actually peacefully enjoy time with our guests. I am already planning our next extended outing, due to the diligence, care, professionalism and security Sarah provided. And, unlike some other sitters we’ve experienced, she promptly responds and is a clear communicator. Do not hesitate to leave your beloved pet with Sarah.”
“Michael was excellent with our puppy Willow! He sent pictures of her a few times a day which is always a bonus. Willow came home completely pooped like us after traveling so it was nice to see she was taken care of and got her exercise in. Thanks again!”
“Sydney was very sweet and very professional. I could tell she took her dogsitting very seriously and could also tell my dog enjoyed being around her. I highly recommend Sydney.”

“We were very pleased with Angelica. She was very thorough, punctual, professional, and went above and beyond. We will definitely reach out to Angelica again when we need our kitties taken care of.”
“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!”
“Sofia is the best! She is so very kind and professional— she took the booking for me last minute when I was in a pinch and went out of her way to accommodate me and my kitty. I felt my cat was so safe and so well cared for in her hands! Thank you Sofia!!”
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter in NC for 2 years. Mostly walking dogs with a few fosters as well. Experienced with big and small dogs. I have a hybrid work schedule. Work remote Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Typically available on the weekends and love to have a dog to hike with. Unfortunately, unable to have pets in my home due to apartment restrictions. But available to come to your home and provide all care. Experience with reactive dogs.
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner since I was 16 and have also fostered and pet sat cats as well. Cats are my absolute favorite — I genuinely believe they’re the purest little creatures, and there’s nothing more rewarding than earning their trust. I understand that every cat has their own personality and pace, so I always let them set the tone. Whether your cat wants cuddles on the couch or solo playtime, I’m happy to follow their lead. One thing I can promise — I will absolutely take a million photos and keep you updated every step of the way!
“Excellent care for our fur babies while we vacationed. Erin is very Reliable giving us peace of mind while we were away from home. Thank you Erin love the daily pictures.”
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 grew up with dogs and have pets of my own, so daily care is second nature to me: feeding schedules, potty routines, medications, and knowing when something is off. I have a lot of experience with puppies specifically, including house training, crate training, and reinforcing basic commands so the work you have already put in does not unravel while you are away. I am just as comfortable with shy or high-energy dogs, and I follow whatever routine you have already established rather than imposing my own. I am home most of the day, which means your pet is not waiting hours between check-ins. I build walks and drop-ins around my own pets' routine, so caring for animals is already the rhythm of my day rather than something squeezed in. I keep my bookings limited so each pet gets real attention, and I am flexible on timing for early mornings, midday breaks, and late evening visits. I confirm the schedule with you before the first day and let you know right away if anything needs to shift. In your home, I follow your instructions exactly: same feeding amounts, same doors locked, same spots your pet is and is not allowed. I send photo updates after every visit so you can see how your pet is doing, and I always double-check gates, leashes, and locks before I leave. For walks, I use a secure harness or your preferred equipment and stay on familiar, low-traffic routes. My own home does not have a fenced yard, so dogs are leashed for every potty break and I never leave a dog unattended outside. I also have pets of my own, so I do slow, controlled introductions and give any new dog their own space until everyone is comfortable. I keep water available at all times and know the location of the nearest emergency vet.
“Marie was an absolute profesional and made my wife and I at ease while we were out of town. It would usually take me a few times to trust someone with my elderly cat, but Marie made me comfortable right of the bat. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”

“Katie treated our cats like her own. She brought them toys and treats (she confirmed this was ok first) and spent time playing with them during each visit. She sent multiple pictures and an update after each visit. I will use Katie every time we need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been a lover and caretaker of animals my whole life. I currently reside in the JP with my dog, Jackson and boyfriend. I work from home and am finding myself with some spare time and would love to help care for your pets when needed. Since I work from home, I can help with walks during lunch or after work. I am also open to boarding too or watching your dog at home! I have a one bedroom apartment with a small outdoor space. If boarding, we would go on plenty of walks. My dog Jackson loves other dogs too and would be happy to do a meet and greet beforehand.

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.
“Our 11-month-old Cocker Spaniel, Connor Boy, loved his play date with Pernille's puppy, Jens!. We had a very very pleasant meet and greet a few weeks ago and Pernille. Connor and Jens had became instant pals. Sandy and I were very comfortable leaving Connor with Pernille and we will look forward to another play date when the opportunity arises. Thank you Pernille, Jens and Ram!!!”
“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!”
“Mary & Aaron and their lovely children are the needle in the haystack! I feel so thankful and grateful that I found them. Cassius is a rescue dog with severe separation anxiety, many behavioral traits and health issues, needs a special diet, is scared of unknown environments, streets, etc....but he is totally happy each time that is going to their house ! They opened the doors of their house and they also open their hearts to Cassius as if he was their own dog... and I really mean it ! Their adorable daughter Allison will wait in the morning for Cassius, when she is off school, full of energy to play, give him treats and do puzzles together, Cassius adores her. This is an extraordinary compassionate and loving family that will take care of your dogs as if they were their own. For the first time since I rescued Cassius, I can plan on traveling, study, go to work and move around worry-free about Cassius being take care. Cassius will continue going on regular basis to their house every week, it was a match made in heaven, Cassius loves them and they love him!”
“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.”
About: After spending nearly a decade as a nurse, I decided it was time to make a career shift to do what I really love, which is working with animals. I am a full-time pet sitter, bonded & insured. I've been caring for others for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family home was affectionately known as "the zoo." Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish... you name it, we probably had one. I'm comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with more complex medical needs. My background in healthcare was so valuable in teaching me the importance of empathy, patience and compassionate care, and now I get to share those qualities with each and every animal that I work with. Whether your pet needs a walk, medication, or just a trusted friend while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! I am a full-time, professional pet sitter and have open availability to help take care of your pets! Once you have completed a meet & greet, same-day requests are available as well. Every pets has different needs and I will make sure to follow your pets schedule as closely as possible. At the meet and greet we will discuss how frequently your pet needs go potty, have their litter changed, feeding schedules, medication, etc and keep you up-to-date on everything that happened during our visits.
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs, so caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of personalities and energy levels, and I truly love spending time with them. I am very active - I run long distance and go for a lot of long walks. I work full-time during the week but am available before/after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for on every walk I work full-time 8-5 during the week but am available before/after work for visits/walks. I am also available on the weekends! I do my best to keep your pet’s routine exactly the same so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep your home clean and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: Hi there! Although I only recently reactivated this app, caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my beloved Border Collie, Zoey (see Gallery), from puppyhood through adulthood. She has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, but during her life I taught her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide dogs of all ages with a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment that is free from hazards—while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⸻ Today, I own a longhaired male Dachshund named Moose. He loves other dogs, is up to date on his core vaccines, and is currently unneutered. Because of him, I have firsthand experience with the unique care that long-bodied breeds require, including proper handling techniques and back protection. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My prior Border Collie, Zoey, was dog-reactive and medically disabled (she was completely blind in one eye), so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s individual needs. ⸻ I am home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. The house sits on a fairly quiet street in close proximity to the Belford Ferry, making it especially convenient for NYC commuters. *********** For clients interested in doggy daycare or boarding, dogs will enjoy a securely fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks, interactive play sessions, and an indoor doggy playpen to explore that is located on the main living level of the home (see Gallery). The playpen is stocked with a rotating assortment of toys and enrichment activities for your pup to enjoy, and dogs also have access to the adjacent hardwood-floor living area. *********** To help keep all of our furry friends healthy and safe, proof of core vaccinations is required (except for young puppies), and all dogs must be on a flea and tick preventative. Clients are welcome to bring a crate, favorite bed, blanket, or other comfort items from home. Baby gates are installed on the stairs for added safety, and walks may be added to daycare or boarding services for an additional fee. *********** At this time, I accept one client (which can include multiple dogs) at a time, though multiple same-day clients can work if all parties are in agreement. This allows me to provide individualized attention, maintain a calm, low-stress environment, and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. I closely supervise all dog interactions, and my home has multiple gated/partitioned areas that allow dogs to have their own space and be separated when needed. Moose also has a dedicated separate space for meals, naps, etc. At night, your pup will have the playpen all to themselves for a peaceful night’s sleep (or a crate if you prefer). The playpen is also monitored with a baby monitor for an extra layer of safety. ⸻ My goal is to make drop-off as simple and stress-free as possible. If you’d prefer to simply drop off your pup, I’ve got the essentials covered! Of course, you’re always welcome to bring your dog’s own food, crate, favorite blanket, toys, or any comfort items if you’d like. *********** What’s Included with Daycare & Boarding: • Quality limited-ingredient treats and chews such as turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, etc. • Supervised outdoor potty breaks in a securely fenced yard • Interactive play sessions + indoor enrichment activities , such as frozen lick mats and puzzle toys • Access to a variety of toys, blankets, and beds • Daily photo updates for peace of mind 😊 ⸻ I am home during the day; during our initial consult meeting, I will coordinate with you to find pickup and drop-off times that work. 🐾 We can go over any quirks and routines that you like to do for your pup to ease separation anxiety (such as leaving the TV on 😊) to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾
About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.
“Brian And his wife were so lovely with my dog! Before His first daycare day, we did a meet and greet where they asked throughtful questions about his meal sensitivities and tried to make him feel very comfortable. Would recommend 😊”
“A GODSEND. We call Kathy’s place “Resort de la Vizsla” and my pup Frannie has the BEST DAYS EVER there. Kathy has been more than kind to me and Frannie with drop off and pick up hours, as I work long days at Jersey Shore Med. If you’re a nurse or work in the area this is THE BEST!!! I know my pup is loved, cared for and get pictures to show all the snuggles and snacks. If you’re nervous about finding a good sitter… look no further!!!! You found HEAVEN.”
“This is my first time leaving Stella for the day when I adopted her about 2 months ago. Rachel is the best as she keep me informed about how Stella was doing throughout the day and kept her very active. It really took the stress/anxiety away while I had to take care of my activities for that day. I know Rachel did a great job looking after Stella as Stella slept soundly that night :-) Cheers”
“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.”

“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!”
“Angelica was on time & my pup Hazel is extremely shy with people . When Angelica arrived, and walked onto our deck Hazel went right up to her did not hide behind me at all in fact she kissed Angelica hand!! It was amazing to me how Hazel felt so comfortable instantly . Which completely relaxed me & I felt very confident & comfortable.

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 while attending school through a hybrid online program, giving me a flexible schedule to provide your pups with the care and attention they deserve. I truly love 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.
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need a little extra love and patience. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of any breed or temperament, and my experience extends to exotic pets like geckos too — so no animal is outside my comfort zone. Beyond the basics of feeding and playtime, I’m fully capable of transporting pets to vet or grooming appointments and have experience administering medications, whether oral, topical, or otherwise. Pet owners can trust that their animals are in safe, capable hands with me — no matter what their needs are. I'm currently working with a family as an on call pet/house sitter. I work anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, taking care of 2 cats and 2 dogs. I'm available for quick visits or long stays :) I treat every dog's daily routine as a priority, whether in my home or theirs. With the babies I'm currently watching, mornings start with a trip outside to a fenced yard for potty time while I get breakfast and medication ready. From there, we head out for the first of 2-3 walks throughout the day, which often include some playtime like a game of catch. Dinner is served around 6pm, and at night I make sure everyone settles into their crate, giving them lots of goodnight kisses before heading to bed myself. I'm comfortable administering medications and can accommodate a dog's existing schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress for them.
About: Hi, I’m Vincent. I’m a U.S. Marine Corps & U.S. Army veteran and lifelong dog owner based in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Dogs have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I extensive experience handling all size and high-energy breeds that require structure, exercise, and consistency. I provide dog walking and drop-in visits focused on safety, reliability, and your dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a neighborhood walk, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship while you’re away, I will treat them like one of my own. My military background taught me attention to detail, accountability, and professionalism. You can expect clear communication, punctual service, and regular photo updates during every visit. I am currently furthering my canine education through the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and continuously learning about dog behavior, enrichment, and proper handling techniques. I look forward to meeting you and your dog and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need help caring for your pets. I currently work part-time and offer dog walking and drop-in visits around my work schedule. I am available all day on Mondays, after 2:30 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and have limited availability on Thursdays. I strive to be dependable, punctual, and responsive when scheduling visits. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, evening exercise, feeding, or a drop-in check, I will communicate clearly and work to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a veteran and dog owner, I understand the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and following instructions. During every visit, I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise requirements, and any special instructions. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and provide photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“This app does not do justice with tipping because Erin is just downright amazing. Thank you for taking care of my little man and his home so well and sending me the best photos of him.”

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.
“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.”
“First time using Rover. I am very pleased with the care provided by Vick for my two Cavachons Kurt and Kyle. She was very detailed orientated regarding their care and provided a nice long walk while we were out all day. A very kind care giver, the boys had a great time with her. Five star performance!!”
“Joseph's calm demeanor immediately put our dog, Seven, at comfort. She is sometimes skiddish around new people and previous dog walkers had a tough time with even getting her to walk around the house. She's taken to him very quickly and now is someone we can rely upon to help take care of Seven.”
“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!!”
“Maggie has been a great sitter for my fur baby Lulu! She's prompt and friendly and most importantly Lulu loves her! I really appreciate her responsiveness, especially on short notice! Well surely use her in the future!”

“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!”
“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.”
“Our dog, Millie had a great extended stay with Deena! When meeting Deena, it’s immediately noticeable that she loves dogs and just has a natural, nurturing relationship with them. She was very attentive during Millie’s visit and sent daily pictures, videos and updates. I’m sure Millie loved the added bonus of the attention of Deena’s sons, as well. I definitely recommend her and would have Millie stay with her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Cream Cheese had a wonderful time with Shelley and his new doggo buddies. He settled in and got comfortable quickly. I was impressed with the level of care and communication throughout his stay.”
“Billy was wonderful with my girl April. She had friends to play with, plenty of cuddle time and walks. Would definitely board her with him in the future. Daily pics helped to see how happy she was.”
“Sydney was very sweet and very professional. I could tell she took her dogsitting very seriously and could also tell my dog enjoyed being around her. I highly recommend Sydney.”
“Ember had a great stay with Paul and Kathryn! We will definitely work with them again in the future! We got lots of pics and videos throughout her stay which was much appreciated 😊”
“I boarded my dog, Lucy, with Joshua for 4 days and have to say he is fantastic! He treated my dog like his own. I could tell she was well taken care of and I greatly appreciated the frequent communication and updates. I would trust Joshua with my dog again.”
“Wow! What a wonderful experience for both me and Finn! Lorrie introduced Finn to the other dogs and everything went beautifully. Lorrie is very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and I absolutely trust her with Finn. Finn is an only dog, 10 yr old Great Dane and I was concerned about him with other dogs. No problems at all! For sure, Finn will board with Lorrie.”
“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.”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter for our dog Norman. Her house was warm and inviting, and had a very spacious yard with beautiful well kept grass. Her attention to detail while watching our dog, and photos/video throughout the stay was so reassuring while we were away. We will definitely book Rachel for our next away stay. Absolutely wonderful!”
“Kathy and her dog Ziggy couldn't have been more kind. Kathy takes the time to meet with you and understand your dogs needs. Kathy's proactiveness in sending updates and pictures made the boarding process that much more comfortable and we cannot thank her enough.”
“Melissa went above and beyond with my dog, Buddy. She sent daily pictures with their itinerary. Buddy was spoiled with exercise and attention. I was able to fully relax on vacation. I could see by the pictures that he felt right at home. I highly recommend Melissa!”
