“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!”
“Mark was a blessing for us! He and his kids played with Enzo, and Mark was able to leash walk Enzo, something we’ve had trouble doing. Mark kept us posted with texts, pictures and a video, which really helped, since this was Enzos first time overnight anywhere! We loved the fact that Mark takes only one dog at a time, and has a fenced in back yard, just what our dog needed. We would highly recommend Mark as a dog sitter! Thank you so much, Mark!!”
“I am new at this and our pup is a bit of a handful (stll in his puppy phase) but Miss Nancy had everything under control! The pics and ease of communication really helped us enjoy our long planned vacation! I really cannot say enough good things about our experience !”
“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!”
“My pup Django loved his time with Carol Ann! She is the sweetest and spent lots of time with him - he even got sick to his stomach halfway through the trip and she made sure to nurse him back to health. Had no worries at all while away on our one week vacay!”
“My large 2 yr old doodle pup Rooney was a repeat client of Jonathan's this summer. He's very nice, dependable, flexible & has reasonable rates. He had great communication on logistics as well as providing updates on Roo. He was very accommodating with early morn./late night pick-ups/drop-offs which was much appreciated. I trusted that Roo was well cared for & having fun with walks & playtime in the big fenced yard.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teenager and I am obsessed with mine now. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play with new friends so I would love to host your dog in my home which is a fenced in yard. Plenty of space to run and a very clean environment. Doodles preferred and non shedding dogs due to my son’s allergies please. I am a work from home mom with two boys who are 10 and 12 who also love dogs. because of my schedule, I am able to be home to take care of the pups. I would treat them like my own! They are welcome to Rome in a comfortable large space and run around in the backyard with lots of walks every couple of hours.
“Tokar is absolutely wonderful! She has great attention to detail and only wants the very best for my dog’s well-being and happiness. She truly enjoys spending time with my dog and treats him like her very own! Trustworthy & kind.”
“We were nervous about leaving Sammie with someone we didn’t know, but when we did the meet and greet with Tina we knew she was the right person to watch Sammie. She answered all our questions, asked good questions, and she genuinely wanted to make sure Sammie would have the best stay while in her care. We received updates on Sammie’s walks, cuddle time, and if she was eating her food. We also received pictures of Sammie which put a smile on our faces. We were reassured that we had made the right choice. We would absolutely work with Tina again. 😊”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Carly took such great care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which really helped us relax knowing our pup was in good hands. Our dog looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

“Fiona is great! Our little Sherlock boy loved her! He is an old man, set in his ways but he was very comfortable with her. She sent pics and updates throughout his stay and even got him new treats. He has a nervous habit of drinking a lot of water when in a new environment. She immediately picked up on it and messaged me and watched him as he settled down into normal drinking levels. Rover and Fiona in particular were a great solution for us while camping at a no-dogs campground.”
“Thank you so much, Rebecca! The dogs were happy, clean, and well taken care of. Most people don't take dogs under 1 year of age and, on top of that, at the last minute!”
“Corrine is a GREAT dog sitter. Our Rusty did enjoy his time at Corrine's home. Corrine sends daily pictures which is awesome. Rusty actually loved it so much at Corrine's home he ran up to her to say goodbye!”
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.
“Carly is wonderful! She babysat my dog, Fig, a few times over the summer, and he absolutely loved spending time with her and her sweet corgi, Willow. I felt completely at ease knowing Fig was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

We also appreciated the thoughtful communication and fun pictures of Lucky & friends when we were away. Thank you!”

“Kali and her son were, last minute, able to look after moose for an hour. They followed the instructions and were very communicative. Moose was very happy to see them! Would book again.”
“This was our first time using the Rover app. We were so happy to have Nicole as our sitter. She went above & beyond in caring for our cat while we were away, including brushing, cleaning up the area around the feeding dishes, removing hair balls, etc. Nicole sent a detailed report each day and made sure she got pics even on those days our cat was hiding. Nicole developed a rapport with Ollie very quickly and it helped us enjoy our time away knowing our cat was in great hands.”
“Excellent. Matthew was able to accommodate me last minute, which I really appreciated. He was very responsive and stayed in contact with me regarding my cat’s care. While my cat hid (typical) while he was at my house, Matthew left the food and water as directed and attempted to find Princess for play. I will use him again.”
“Wonderful sitter! She gave us great peace of mind while we were away knowing our Guinea Pigs were in such good hands. Would definitely book again in the future! Thank you so much!”
About: Been taking care of pets in the Spring Lake area for 5 years. I enjoy taking them for long walks and getting them the exercise they need. Currently available most days. I grew up with a golden retriever and have always enjoyed taking care off other peoples dogs. First with friends and family, then on other dog walking apps. I'm conscientious and respectful. I truly enjoy the dogs and like getting our for fresh air. If I am sitting at your house, I will make sure everything is clean and tidy.
“Jessica is a cat whisperer!!! She took amazing care of my two cats while I was traveling. One of my kitties is extremely shy and usually never comes out from hiding for anyone…but Jessica got her out of her hiding spot and playing! My other cat has a lot of energy and Jessica played with him a lot, too! It was so nice knowing that my cats were in good hands while I was away. Jessica is extremely responsible, reliable, and dependent. I feel like she took care of my cats as if they were her own.”
“Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease caring for Jackson & Julius during our daughter’s wedding celebration. I was grateful for the updates and pictures shared. I highly recommend Charlotte and this service.”
“We’ve had Kerri cat sit for us twice now, and she’s absolutely incredible! Our cats are extremely timid and usually hide the entire time we’re away, but with Kerri they were so relaxed it looked like they were actually posing for photos! That alone says everything. She took exceptional care of every detail, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! 🐈💕”
About: I spent 13 years as a certified veterinary nurse (CVTg), working in general practice, surgery, orthopedics, internal medicine, cardiology and emergency. That means medications (oral, injectable, topical), subcutaneous fluids, and post-op care are routine for me — including those cats who'd rather not cooperate.
“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Jessica is an accomplished, responsible petsitter. My cat, Moochi, loves her and is very comfortable with her. Jessica is truly an animal person and I highly recommend her to sit with your pet(s)!”
About: I have never had a cat myself but I am frequently around the cats of friends and family. I have cat-sat for different friends over the years and it always ends with "making muffins" somewhere around or on me! I love all animals & hope to give my own pup a cat sister one day.
“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”
“Carly was fantastic. She was friendly and reliable and most importantly, she was great with my cat! She fed her, cleaned the litter and played with Yoshi while I was away. And seeing the pictures every day was amazing. Completely recommended!”
“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: Hi! I’m Alexa, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your cat while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to find someone who will care for them with patience, love, and attention. Whether your cat enjoys playing, cuddling, or simply prefers a calm companion who respects their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, administer basic care, give plenty of love and attention (if they want it!), and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your cat! I look forward to meeting you and your feline family!

“Pam was outstanding!!! She has two very friendly pups who loved to play with our dog. She accommodated us on short notice for daycare. Her yard is perfect and fully fenced in for playtime. She sent lots of pictures throughout his time there. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Fiona was excellent with my sweet old lady. She sent pictures and was a great communicator. You can tell she loves dogs and it shows through her quality of care. Thank you Fiona! Would definitely book again.”
“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.”
“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”
About: I’ve spent my life working with a host of dogs - from family pets to reactive dogs or those with complex medical needs . I have experience with all temperaments and am comfortable managing reactive dogs, strict schedules, and intensive care requirements. My first priority is keeping their day-to-day as consistent as possible. I’ll always follow your training cues and preferred commands to continue your hard work. Whether it’s an overnight or an daily drop in, I keep their routine predictable to make a stressful situation as smooth as possible. I send frequent updates and take loads of pictures - so you can rest assured your little guy is well taken care of ! I’m an online student with no 9-5 restrictions so your dog gets genuine care and attention, not just a "barely there" drop in. I love going on outings and adventures (if your comfortable with that), and I prioritize safety above all else. We stick to quiet environments where we can explore and sniff comfortably without the stress of unwanted dog-to-dog interactions. I never let them get nose-to-nose with other pets, or go to high dog populated spaces. I’m currently accepting new clients for the 2026 season and would love to meet your pet! Send me a message and we can talk about your dog’s needs. As a WFH & online student, my schedule is open and very flexible. I don’t have that 9-to-5 absence, and am able to provide genuine care and continuous supervision. Whether your dog has intensive care requirements, a strict schedule, or needs to go out every two hours, I adapt my schedule around their needs. I am available for structured day-to-day care, boarding, house sitting, and can accommodate last-minute bookings Safety and routine consistency are my top priorities. Handing your dog over to someone new is stressful, for you and for them. I mitigate this by following your specific training cues, household rules, and preferred commands so your hard work never gets undone. When out and about we go to dog friendly spaces - outdoor bars, hikes, or businesses where dogs are welcome, while avoiding spaces over run with others like dog parks or pet smart. As much as I love a good furry friend, I'm taking care of your loved one and take responsibility for their care and wellbeing seriously.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping to care for our family pets. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my parents’ dogs while they’ve been away—handling everything from walks and feeding to playtime and keeping them on a routine. Recently, I’ve welcomed a puppy of my own, so I’m especially familiar with the attention, structure and patience younger dogs need. I work from home so can be available for midday walks and and drop-ins. My schedule can vary but is flexible, especially for local visits. I treat every dog like my own and always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and happy. I stick closely to your instructions and your dog’s routine and am mindful to send an update so you feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: I grew up with a standard poodle who stole my heart from the very beginning. He was truly my best friend and sparked my lifelong love of dogs. As an adult, our family had a Wheaten Terrier for 13½ years, and he was the most royal member of our household. I have a hybrid work schedule and get much of my exercise walking in between work sessions, so daily walks and outdoor time are a natural part of my routine. I’m also fairly flexible with my schedule, which allows me to give dogs the attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for many friends’ dogs and genuinely enjoy having them around, whether they’re calm companions or full of playful energy. Our home is a warm, relaxed environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Your dog will be treated like part of our family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home most days of the week and enjoy power walks in between work sessions. Walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship easily fit into my schedule. Since I work from home on my computer, pets are rarely left alone and can relax nearby while I work, giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable, safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I've been a dog owner almost all of my life - a mini dachshund as a girl and two cavapoos as an adult. I've also been a long-time sitter for family and friends (Corgi Jake and Lab Rudy are in my pictures), and think of the dogs in my care one of our own. I look forward to connecting to see if I'm a good fit for your beloved pup. I'm a part-time grad student (online program) and full-time mama to toddler Jack (who's in Montessori school) and pup Seamus. We've moved to Spring Lake from Hoboken - days include walks by the lake, ball tosses in the backyard, and the dog beach in season (regular beach in the fall). It's important your pup feels comfortable with us! We allow our Seamus on the couches and will adhere to whatever rules you're most comfortable with.

About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside

About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs. As a semi-retired healthcare professional, I’m responsible, observant, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I recently found myself unexpectedly semi-retired and looking to stay active while doing something I truly love... spending time with dogs! This year, I lost my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog and am missing having a dog in my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood, including a Border Collie (if you know, you know!) and my Bernese, as well as cared for many other dogs over the years. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs and provided drop-in care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet because I’ve relied on great dog sitters myself, who treated my dogs as part of their family. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pet. I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if applicable, leash requirements, and any crating or other guidelines you provide. During walks, I’ll stay alert to our surroundings and be aware of other dogs, people, traffic, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, when I’m caring for your pet, I’ll be present and engaged, not distracted by my phone. I want your dog to get my full attention, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together during a drop-in visit.
“This was our first time having Lisa walk our Kirbie. We always wanted someone to dog sit/walk Kirbie. Now, we feel confident that we found that with Lisa. Kirbie simply loves her! Thank you Lisa.”
About: I approach each pet like you would a human by meeting their needs with love. I keep a clean house as well as the fur baby. I am very accommodating and friendly. I request at least 3 days notice unless an urgent need arises. I have experience with training dogs/cats. I’ve house sat for pet owners and cleaned. I’ve even taken care of exotic pets. I’ve worked with rescues who shy away from people. Let’s have a meet with your fur baby and discuss if I can meet your needs. I treat each fur baby like family! I ask to meet up so that the animal feels a sense of trust with me before you part for your journey away. I’d also like to meet you and put your mind at ease.
About: What sets my pet care apart is my experience, attentiveness, and love for animals. I care for pets of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I can train puppies in basic commands and provide specialized care for seniors, including medication administration and comfort adjustments. I take the time to understand each pet’s routines and needs, tailoring my care accordingly. Regular updates and photos keep you informed, as your peace of mind is vital. I focus on building trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring that your pet receives the best care possible. I am currently a student at Brookdale Community College, and my class schedule is very flexible year-round. I prioritize clear communication and will always keep you informed of my availability. If anything changes or comes up, I will provide as much notice as possible. Caring for pets is a passion, and I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in every interaction. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I'm visiting yours, their well-being is always my top priority. In my house, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where your pet can feel safe and loved. I ensure that the environment is free of hazards, with secure spaces for play, rest, and relaxation. I also keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time to ensure they are always safe and secure. I follow your pet's routines to minimize stress and create a sense of familiarity. I keep their food, water, and toys organized and accessible while providing plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I'm also happy to send regular updates, including photos, so you can feel confident about your pet's care while away. I take the time to understand your pet's unique needs and preferences for all services. Whether it's a specific feeding schedule, medication, or extra cuddles.
“There are not enough nice things I can say about Jessica! She was great with Keyser! Keyser is a senior and can be a little tricky to care for. But, he bonded with Jessica instantly and we knew he was in great hands! We highly recommend Jessica!”
About: I’ve had a dog for most of my life. I also volunteer at a dog shelter every week, and have done so for the past two years. I've gained much experience at the shelter and can confidently handle various types of dogs. I am super comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I love dogs and would be so so happy to walk your pups!! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule so I can definitely fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine! Depending on my schedule that day, I'll be able to fit walks in. I can definitely do early mornings and late nights, and can fit in walks throughout the day. I can follow whatever rules you may have for your pup and do the best I can to make your pup feel as loved and taken care of as possible!

“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!”
“Mark was a blessing for us! He and his kids played with Enzo, and Mark was able to leash walk Enzo, something we’ve had trouble doing. Mark kept us posted with texts, pictures and a video, which really helped, since this was Enzos first time overnight anywhere! We loved the fact that Mark takes only one dog at a time, and has a fenced in back yard, just what our dog needed. We would highly recommend Mark as a dog sitter! Thank you so much, Mark!!”
“I am new at this and our pup is a bit of a handful (stll in his puppy phase) but Miss Nancy had everything under control! The pics and ease of communication really helped us enjoy our long planned vacation! I really cannot say enough good things about our experience !”
“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!”
“My large 2 yr old doodle pup Rooney was a repeat client of Jonathan's this summer. He's very nice, dependable, flexible & has reasonable rates. He had great communication on logistics as well as providing updates on Roo. He was very accommodating with early morn./late night pick-ups/drop-offs which was much appreciated. I trusted that Roo was well cared for & having fun with walks & playtime in the big fenced yard.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teenager and I am obsessed with mine now. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play with new friends so I would love to host your dog in my home which is a fenced in yard. Plenty of space to run and a very clean environment. Doodles preferred and non shedding dogs due to my son’s allergies please. I am a work from home mom with two boys who are 10 and 12 who also love dogs. because of my schedule, I am able to be home to take care of the pups. I would treat them like my own! They are welcome to Rome in a comfortable large space and run around in the backyard with lots of walks every couple of hours.
“We were nervous about leaving Sammie with someone we didn’t know, but when we did the meet and greet with Tina we knew she was the right person to watch Sammie. She answered all our questions, asked good questions, and she genuinely wanted to make sure Sammie would have the best stay while in her care. We received updates on Sammie’s walks, cuddle time, and if she was eating her food. We also received pictures of Sammie which put a smile on our faces. We were reassured that we had made the right choice. We would absolutely work with Tina again. 😊”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Carly took such great care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which really helped us relax knowing our pup was in good hands. Our dog looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”
