“Lisa and her family did a wonderful job watching our dog while we were away. We received daily pictures and updates. We were so relieved to know Buddy was in good hands! We will definitely be taking Buddy back sometime!”
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“Jenny was great. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and videos showing just how much fun Buffy was having. My only concern was that Buffy wouldn’t want to leave. 😬”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat, Milo! She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures every day, which made me feel so much better. She even made a daily chart of everything Milo did, including how he was eating and playing. I could tell she really cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Milo again. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”
“We are so happy we chose Tom to look after Fluffy. He was very professional and kept us posted with pictures. Fluffy is an anxious dog, but Tom made her feel right at home—even letting her sleep on the bed and hang out on the couch. He also let us do a meet-and-greet the day before, which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking with Tom again.”
“Tanvi and her family are so loving and caring towards Chestnut. We love seeing the videos and photos she sends. He has a great time with their Shih-Tzu Happy. Thank you!”
“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter. She is so sweet and caring. She is very accommodating and flexible. She will truly love your pet as her own and make them feel at home! My dog Apollo had a great time with Stephanie, and it’s great to know that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book Stephanie over and over again!”
“Pardeep was incredibly responsive to all my questions. Throughout Grady’s stay, I received regular updates with great photos so I always knew how things were going. It was clear he cared for Grady and treated him like his own. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep to anyone looking for an attentive and caring place for their dog.”
“Isabella was great. I booked my two dogs last minute and she was so accommodating and communicative. She sent pictures and updates regularly and always let me know what was going on. The dogs loved her and we will be using her again!”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn took great care of our dog Lucy. They gave us daily updates and pictures. Lucy was allowed on their couch and bed and from the pictures felt like she was very comfortable and felt right at home. We would highly recommend commend them and will book them next time a need comes up for us and if they are available.”
“Amy was great with Max! For an older Chihuahua mix, he can be curmudgeonly, unless he's sleeping :-) Amy is very communicative, and sent several photos a videos. I recommend Amy for your dog boarding needs!”
“Joanne was amazing with our doggo. He tried to go on a hunger strike but she completely got him to eat…he had lots of walks and love!! Would absolutely have him stay with her again!!”
“James was so great with our dog!! He sent updates and pictures daily and helped with her meds and special food. You can tell he truly loves and cares for your dog when in his care!”
“Whitney and Michael took amazing care of Esther. Esther seems to have really enjoyed the stay and was kept entertained and loved by their young daughters. They did a great job of keeping us updated with cute photos. :) 10/10 would recommend Whitney and Michael’s home as a great place to board your dog!”

“Jessica took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, consistent and very caring - sending us updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Our cat got used to her quickly and seemed very happy and settled. We are grateful for her care and highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of cats of all shapes and sizes since the age of ten! I have an immense love for cats and I have two of my own fur babies at home. I would be happy to feed, pet, and care for any critter that you need me to! As someone with experience in the veterinary field, I am comfortable caring for any type of cat - any shape, size, or personality! I am experienced in administering medication to cats, and know how to do this without making it a stressful experience. I will provide whatever your cat desires - whether that is couch cuddles, vigorous play with their favorite toy, or just someone to make sure they are fed and watered. As a cat owner myself, I understand how much your fur babies mean to you, and will conduct my care with that in mind. I am happy to accomodate any needs.
“So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.”
“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Samantha was so caring and took care of our cat perfectly. She was kind and gentle, and understood Reilly’s personality. She went out of her way to make sure our kitty was eating properly, and gave her treats to keep her happy! Thanks Samantha! We will definitely book again.”
“Marc did a great job caring for our two cats. He stopped by daily while we were away and was reliable and helpful. He went above and beyond to spend time with them and clean up after them and got along very well with the cats. Definitely would recommend Marc’s services to a friend and would not hesitate to have him cat sit for us again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover, experienced foster, and proud cat mom. Caring for cats has become one of my greatest passions. I’ve fostered kittens, seniors, and shy cats, and I’ve learned that every cat has their own unique personality and way of showing trust. I know that some cats want to play, some prefer quiet companionship, and others just need someone to respect their space while keeping their routine consistent. Whether your cat loves chasing toys, curling up for pets, or simply having a calm, familiar presence while you’re away, I’ll provide patient, individualized care tailored to their needs. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your cat is safe and comfortable at home. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax, knowing your feline friend is in caring hands.
“Hadija was so wonderful to my cat Beau! I asked for lots of updates and she delivered- I never had to wonder what he was up to or if he was doing okay! She clearly really cares for animals deeply and was so sweet and loving to him. She also left my apartment cleaner than when I left it!”
“Noelle was AMAZING. Communication was excellent, her knowledge of cats is great. She looked after my 2 cats for a week. One had some medical needs and she handled them like a pro. In her photos, I could see the cats were snuggling her and happy. What more could a cat mom ask for??”

“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for 7 years for family, friends, and clients, and I absolutely love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as a gym manager, which allows me flexibility throughout the day since I typically start work later in the morning. I am also able to step away during the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and quality time with your pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members. In addition to making sure pets are happy and well cared for, I always treat every home with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect in my own space.

Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and my goal is always to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work as a gym manager Monday through Friday, and my schedule typically starts between 10 AM and 12 PM. Because of my later start time, I am available in the mornings for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I am also able to step away during my lunch break to check on pets, let them out, or spend some quality time with them. I have flexibility throughout the week, and I am available on weekends as well. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions they provide. I also make sure to be respectful of their home by keeping things clean and treating their space with care. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know each animal and provide them with the attention, affection, and exercise they need. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals and home are being well taken care of. At this time, I primarily offer care in the client’s home, including drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins.
“Alicia was great! She followed all the instructions we left for our cats, and was both communicative and friendly. I’d definitely use her services again, and recommend her to my friends and family. Thank you for everything!”
About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.
“Kate was an excellent sitter who showered our two kitties with affection while we were traveling abroad. We would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter who treats your fur babies like her own.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Raritan
“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”
“Kumud is an incredible dog sitter. She’s gone above and beyond to ensure that our high energy pup is cared for, exercised, and comfortable. Her yard is the ultimate playground and she always makes sure the dogs are playing nicely together. Her dog, Kai, is sweet and playful and welcomes others in. Kumud’s family is really sweet and I trust that Zoe is safe in their care. I highly recommend Kumud’s services.”
About: Fostering through Cold Nose Warm Heart NJ allowed me to fulfill my passion for working with dogs, but unfortunately I am no longer able to keep pets at the house. This has not stopped my love of dogs! I’d like to be a dog walker to have the opportunity to continue to spend time with dogs whenever possible! Fostering has given me experience with all kinds of pups - puppies (8 weeks+), small dogs, big dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, … I work remotely and have a flex schedule. Able to accommodate different schedules, and willing to work with you based on what is most optimal for you and your pup! I have two dogs of my own (1 and 2) who love playing and would welcome guests. I very much understand the importance of keeping pups on a schedule, so will dutifully follow such plans.

“Esther took amazing care of Enzo! This was one of his first daycare experiences, and she made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and a detailed summary of his day, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for someone who is caring, attentive, and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Esther, for taking such great care of Enzo!”
“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”
“As both of us had an emergent schedule, we should have found someone to take care my little girl. Even we asked Alicia at the last minute, she accepted our ask! She is soooo kind and nice ? Coco is very shy but she definitely loves Alicia and her two doggy friends! I really appreciate her help and care ? Highly recommend her!”

“Noria took the time to meet up with me the day prior to make sure my dog could meet her. She took great care of her, sent me pictures throughout the day, it was easy to tell my dog didn’t want to leave upon being picked up! Highly recommend her and would gladly book again.”
“Roco has stayed with James twice and we see Roco happy to come back. We also love that James is very flexible with the times and responds quickly to any message. Finally, I value a ton to receive updates and pics during the stay. So we will definitely keep James as our doggy sitter for Roco.”
About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)
“We were desperately looking for a dog sitter at the last minute and was so happy to find Emma! I have a senior dog who has one eye, partially deaf and she was amazing with him. My other dog a lab, who is full of energy found a new friend, their dog Mack! If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you Emma!”
“Debbie and ray were awesome with taking care of zeus for the day! I had never left my dog with anyone before and Debbie sent the perfect amount of update pictures and videos to make me feel at ease. They have the perfect backyard for the dogs to play and the neighborhood is perfect for walks. Zeus could not have been in better hands!!”

About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician and have extensive pet sitting experience. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!
About: My journey with animals started over 13 years ago with my family cat, who taught me the importance of subtle body language and the specialized care that any pet requires. This lifelong bond grew into a passion for helping others, leading me to become the go-to sitter for my neighbors' dogs and cats for several years. What sets me apart: • Multi-Species Fluency: I currently look after both a cat and a dog daily. I understand a dual dynamic and know how to balance the high-energy needs of a dog with the boundaries and quiet requirements of a cat. • Reliability & Trust: My neighbors have trusted me with their home keys and their furry family members for years. I pride myself on being punctual, following specific feeding/medication instructions to the letter, and keeping a tidy space. • I know what it’s like to be in your shoes: As a pet owner myself, I also have looked for sitters and know the level of care and attentiveness that I seek for. It’s a classic example of upholding the standards that I want to see myself As a hybrid employee, my schedule is more flexible and can be naturally structured around consistent walking and feeding times. My pet care responsibilities are a priortiy In your home, I prioritize security and maintaining your pet's sense of normalcy. Whether it’s rigorous playtime for dogs or quiet companionship for cats, I provide consistent updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own because I get it. I’ve been in your shoes as someone looking for a sitter
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and monitor pets closely during walks or outdoor time.
“Yana is absolutely amazing—dependable, kind, and truly treats our pets like family! Communication is excellent with updates and photos that keep us at ease each day. We highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, and have had the pleasure of taking care of everything from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I was a member of my counties 4-H for 13 years and competed nationally in events relating to pet care and knowledge. I have also been working on the side for different horse farms since I was 8 years old and have loved every minute of it! Currently I have my own cat and my family has a dog and two other lovely kitties. I’m a vegetarian who loves all animals, no matter what! I take care of every animal I encounter as if they were my own and make sure they know they are loved. On Sundays I spend a few hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well :) I work a full time corporate office job so any opportunity to get outside is one that I look for. Since my commute from work is only 10 minutes, it makes getting around very easy. I treat my pets like people and always put their needs before my own. I pride myself on organization and cleanliness as well as my ability to retain a lot of detail
About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets for the past 10 years. This includes my own pets as well are others, such as neighbors, family, and friend’s pets. I have a full time job as a 4th grade teacher during the weekdays. I am available after 4:00 most days and I am available all day on the weekends. I can walk your dog as well as take some time to play, feed, or crate them if need be. I love to get out and get some exercise so I would love to walk and play with your pet!
“I booked Holly for a 30 min dog walking session for my highly energetic 6 year old Dalmatian. I asked her to do a meet & greet with my dog first so she could do a trial walk with him and listen to my explanations for his care. She arrived on time for the meet and greet and did a great job with the trial walk. She arrived on time on the day of the scheduled walk, followed all my instructions, sent me pictures of my dog and gave him a post walk treat while luring him back to his pen. Holly is a natural with handling dogs and has a great personality as well. I will definitely book her again when a need arises. Highly Highly recommend Holly for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both my own dog and others’ pets. I have a Yorkie-Bichon mix named Frankie, and taking care of her has taught me how important patience, routine, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I love dogs, cats (even though I’m allergic! 🥲), rabbits (especially my friend’s whose name is Cosito), and really all animals. You can trust that I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree and am currently doing more schooling by completing nursing prerequisites. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because it allows me to do something I genuinely love while continuing my education. My classes are Tuesday and Fridays I finish at 2:00pm so I’m available in the late afternoons, evenings. AFTER 2:00pm I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I do understand every pet is different, so I’ll be patient and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I will always send pictures as well!

About: I have always been around cats and dogs my whole life and have taken care of both before. I love being able to bond with a pet! Hi there! I am new to NJ as I just moved from VA. I work hybrid 9-5 Mon-Fri, and my days in person vary every week, so my availability depends on my job! I am available on weekends- time doesn't really matter for me unless I have something planned but letting me know ahead of time works best! In my home with my cat I always make sure he's fed with a clean box and tons of pets ready for him when he isn't asleep and many toys for him that he loves. The same goes for anyone else's pet I am responsible for!
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 10 years old when we got our first dog Sputnik. After High School, I attended The Morris County School of Technology where I graduated from its Veterinary Medicine course that vastly expanded my knowledge on interpreting dog behavior, action steps in an emergency, and markers for potential medical complications. After that, I worked at two different esteemed dog daycare and boarding facilities for a total of 3 years. During this time I was able to put what I learned into practice with a variety of different situations and a variety of different dogs all ranging in size, age, and temperament. This experience not only taught me technical skills, but also the philosophy I now use for pet care. Each dog is unique, and what works for one might not be effective for another. It is with this in mind, that I strive to find the approach that works best for your dog. As a dog owner myself I understand that they are so much more than just pets, they are furry members of our families. This notion is important in conveying the gravity of entrusting the care of your four legged family to another. With all this in mind, I hope you will consider my services so I can get to know both you and your furry friend(s). Currently my schedule is very open, with only a few select dates throughout the summer where I am unavailable. I am a full-time student, so at the end of August I resume a full-course load at college and my schedule will be restricted; but, I should still be able to accommodate when necessary. My first dog, Sputnik, was a small senior pup who unfortunately passed away at 13 in April of 2026. During the last few years I had with him, I became very accustomed to medication administration and schedules as well as managing his comfort the best I could with the help of my family. My current dog, Daisy, is a younger, bigger, and much more high energy dog than Sputnik was. I think dogs communicate with people much more than most people think, and Daisy is very expressive with her needs and wants and I do my best to listen to her. This often includes a lot of love, cuddles, attention, and allowing her to get all that energy she has out on a daily basis. However, what worked for Sputnik and what works for Daisy may not be what’s best for your dog. Through talking with you and getting to know your dog, we will be able to come up with a plan/schedule that works best for them!
About: Hello all! My name is Aly I have been doing dog sitting and dog walking for 10 years, and I’m so excited that I’ve found the perfect platform to expand my services! I am an online student so I’m able to spend a lot of time with the animals! I spend a lot of time outside in all climates so they will definitely remain active while staying with me. I will treat each animal as it is my own, and take care of them with the most compassion. There are lots of parks and wooded areas by my home, so there are plenty of ways to mix up the fun...Your dog will have exceptional care and you will have excellent communication about what’s going on while you are away. You are in great hands and I look forward to hearing from you! *** Just an FYI, I no longer live in an apartment and I have a cat now as well! *** I am flexible with my routines. My dog typically goes out whenever I wake up and I take her outside about 5-6 times throughout the day every day! I am completely flexible to meet your needs! Anything that makes you comfortable is something I am willing to do for you. It is very important to me that you are satisfied with your stay.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Before fostering cats, I fostered dogs and I even had two “foster fails!” My two sweet pitties stole my heart and became permanent members of my family. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous cats and kittens, including seniors, shy cats, and young babies. Fostering has taught me that every pet is unique, and I love taking the time to build trust, help them feel safe, and provide care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications when needed, but my greatest strength is creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax and be themselves. My professional background has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to detail, and I bring those qualities to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family. You can also count on regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry baby is happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s schedule consistent. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.

“Charlene took great care of my Zoey! After a successful daycare session and trial overnight, I was at ease leaving Zoey with her for an extended period. She loves playing in her yard with her dog, Jack! Charlene made sure Zoey was comforted during the fireworks on the 4th and continued monitoring her for any signs of distress. She also tolerated Zoey digging in her garden (sorry!). Zoey loves being there and looks forward to going back! I highly recommend Charlene!!”
