“Bob is the absolute best. We are immeasurably thankful for the care and attention he provided to our dog. Full/complete communication before and during our dog’s stay with his family, pics of our canine each day. My dog looked/acted so happy when I picked her up, I think she thought she was treated to a spa vacation. Thank you Bob for everything you did for our little lady.”
“Lorrie was wonderful with Lola, she treated her like her own dog. It was the first time Lola spent time at someone else’s house without me and she had a great time with Lorrie and the other dogs there. She sent me pictures and videos often. I already booked her for my next trip because Lola had so much fun and I didn’t worry as I knew she was being taken good care of.”
“Michael is a wonderful surrogate father to our Rosie. He took such excellent care of her and really enjoyed her company. We feel very confident leaving our baby in his care.”
“Awesome host. She took good care of my fur baby and constantly sent us pictures of her. She was very accommodating with our requests. Would definitely employ her services again”
“Jamie took very good care of my senior dog Teddy in her lovely home. Teddy being older cries and whines looking for his meals or just being unhappy away from his familiar home. Jamie made extra effort to keep him comfortable and kept in touch with me through texts and photos. Than you!!”
“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”
“I went on a family vacation and left my older Maltese with Mary and Aaron and he did great. Mary provided updates every day and it looked like he was having fun. He’s older and a little harder to care for but they did everything right. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners. Thank you ?”
“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!”
“Karen is fantastic! She is personable, attentive, flexible, and so welcoming! My dog had a very engaging and active 5 day stay with Karen and her two pups and other guests! Bo came home exhausted from all the fun he had! I knew Karen’s place would be the perfect vacation home for Bo on my first visit when she took detailed notes about his behavior and his care. I was so pleased with the thorough and friendly updates with pictures of Bo each day! We will certainly be using Karen again!”
“Ka sent tons of pictures and videos of my Shihtzu, Diamond, and answered all of my questions promptly. Her husband, Jeff, was also very receptive and greeted Diamond warmly. I felt confident that Diamond was in good hands! I will definitely book again!”
“Ken was so kind and attentive to our senior dog! He’s someone who loves dogs and is happy to make sure they’re comfortable. Great communication and sweet updates too. The best!”
“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!”
“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“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!”

“Kristy is fantastic! Whenever she visits our two cats she gives us detailed updates, pictures and is overall so kind! I feel so at ease knowing she is there taking care of them and understands any concerns I may have. My two shy cats who do not come out for any guests, come out and come close when she is with them!”
“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.”
“I’m so glad I booked Wendy for drop-in visits with my cat while I was away for 5 days. She not only kept him fed, watered, gave meds and scooped the box, she also gave him plenty of cuddles and love. It was great having that peace of mind knowing my sweet boy was in excellent hands back home. Thank you so much!”
“Max did an hour walk with Trey today. Completely a last minute request and he made himself available. Very much appreciated!!! Trey loved Max immediately and was a great walk for him. Would highly recommend Max.”
“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!”
“Nick was great and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. He even made friends with one with my cats who is generally scared of people. Very reliable and sent text messages with updates as well as photos. I would definitely book Nick again and recommend him to others.”
“While my brother-in-law was in rehab, Christen took very good care of his cat. She was very responsible and accomodating, and fulfilled all our requests. I recommend her very highly.”
“Great job by Kamryn, was able to help take care of our cats and even brought in packages from our doorstep while we were out. Very helpful and nice, will be rebooking with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting/ drop in visits.”
“Best boarding experience in 11 years. Meghan was fantastic with our two cats. She truly welcomed them to her home and payed attention to their needs and noticed all they quirks. In the past our pets would always come home from boarding a little traumatized, but not this time with Meghan. They were happy and relaxed!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve helped train my mom’s two current dogs. I help my sister take care of her cat when I visit her. I’m excited to help others take care of their furry friends! I work remote full-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. Unfortunately my rental does not allow pets, so I cannot have any overnight. But on a case by case basis I can stay at the owners house with pet(s) if needed, or make multiple stops during the day and before bed time. I can take your pet for walks, play fetch with them, feed them, and more. Whatever is needed while you’re gone throughout the day or overnight within reason!
“Sarah was fantastic. Dropped in for my two cats for 5 days. The cats were comfortable with her and she was able to give my cat her meds. She gave me great updates & photos every day. I’m so grateful for Sarah and highly recommend her!!”
“Taylor is excellent! I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her and she gave them so much love and care during our extended time away! We came home to an incredibly tidy house as well! 10000% would recommend Taylor!”
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!”
“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!”
About: I've had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. In college, I fostered over 10 dogs and cats before they found their forever home. Recently, I raised and trained a dog of my own which taught me all the necessities of being a great dog mom:) My sweet Luna is a five-year-old border collie filled with lots of love for new people and furry friends. I am super eager to help whoever may need it! I'm working a remote job so my schedule is super flexible! I am able to take my breaks whenever I want and can most likely adhere to your schedule. I have the means of transportation to go to clients' homes as well as bring them to my pet-friendly apartment. I live by multiple parks within a 5-minute walk so I am able to spend lots of time outside. My number one priority is making you and your furry friend as happy as possible.
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.
“Jane was awesome and Bento loved his stay. Jane was a great communicator and sent lots of photo and video updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend.”
“Lorrie is understand, helpful and communicative. She took time to discuss over a phone call for my dogs needs and we set up a day stay before a longer sit! Highly recommend.”
“Kathleen was available last minute to dogsit my older pup with terrible separation anxiety. She was communicative, flexible and easy going. Will definitely rebook when I’m in the area again!”
“This was my first time using rover and Kristy exceeded all of my expectations. She came and met me for a meet and greet the day before, sent me tons of pics of Layla, and updates on how she was doing! It allowed me to have the perfect beach day with my friends knowing Layla was in good hands”
“Everything went very well with Michael. We were able to do a meet and greet the day before. Buzz is so afraid of other dogs but once he’s around them, he tolerates other dogs but it takes days for him to relax. Buzz actually stayed on the couch all day because he was afraid. Michael was very kind, accommodating and made my husband and I feel Buzz would be just fine. And he was. I can’t say enough kind words about Michael. One visit and you’d know just how comfortable and confident I was leaving my pup with him.”
“Janell was great! She watched our hyper 2 year-old Bernese Mt. Dog on very short notice. Our dog came back happy, well fed and well exercised. We could tell our dog had a great time from the big smile on her face. I can't recommend her enough!”
“So happy I found Ka. My dog seems so happy when I bring him there and pick him up. That along with the pictures she sends really gives me peace of mind.”
“Great experience! It was love at first sight when Luna met Linda. I was kept updated throughout the day with photos. Luna was treated like her own. She was in great hands. Would leave her with Linda again!”
“Thank you Alexis for taking care of our Connor Boy. We appreciate all the photos and could see Connor was having a terrific time playing with Levi and all the toys you had for him. We also appreciate your prompt communication your prompt replies to our questions or concerns. We can see you have a genuine love for animals and really enjoy having them as guests at your home. We look forward to booking a follow-up date when the opportunity comes up.”
“Annmarie cared for Hutson last minute while we were in town for a wedding. Hutson had a great time with her and her family. She kept in touch and sent the cutest pictures of him and his new friends. She even dropped him off to us after the wedding! Highly recommend this sweet and caring women.”
“I had a doctor's appt and I had just gotten my puppy on Saturday and they were able to accommodate my Snoopy. They are a caring and delightful couple with a beautiful family themselves..I will definitely be booking more services.”

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 .

“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 😁”

“Nicholas was terrific! Prompt, friendly and reliable. I had Nicholas walk my dog every morning for a week just after I had back surgery. My dog took to him right away and got so excited to see him every morning. Nicholas took different waking routes but preferred taking my dog to the field which he most enjoyed. Great guy. Highly recommend!”
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.
“Cindy was fantastic! I needed someone to take my dog out during the day when I had to go into work last minute. Cindy was prompt and took great care of my 10 month old puppy while I was out. She even made sure to come over the day before to meet me and my dog to make sure we were comfortable. We look forward to using her services again!”
“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.”
“Thank you Christen for taking care of Stella yesterday. I really appreciated the real-time updates on Stella's walks and the pictures. Stella was sleeping when I got home, so I know she was in great hands - Cheers”
“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. She took Hazel for a walk & I watched Hazel walk as if she knew Angelica & trusted her! I would recommend Angelica highly. She was very responsible & loving with my pup! I rate her excellent! 🩷”
“Meghan is the absolute best caring human for us and our skittish dog. She goes the extra mile to put the dog at ease and always shows added compassion. We are so very grateful to her, to the person she is, and for being the best possible caregiver to our shy dog. We found an angel. Thanks for all that you do for putting our hearts and minds at ease. You are so appreciated. Sheena is so glad to have you in her life and so are we.”
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'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 have over 10 years of experience taking care of high maintenance and loving animals. I cannot wait to meet your favorite member of your family! I am currently working mostly remote and my schedule is very flexible. I am a very active person so I am looking for a companion to accompany me on my walks. I will treat your pet like it is my own (with lots of love). Please inform me of any medical, safety, or any other concerns.
