“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!”
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.
“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 had such a great experience with Carly! Fig absolutely loved spending time with Willow- they became fast friends. It was such a comfort knowing Fig was in a warm, caring home with another sweet pup to play with. Highly recommend!”
“Let me start by saying that I was incredibly anxious about leaving my dog with a new sitter, I have only left my pup one other time and it has been with family and as this was not possible I reached out to Cristy! Cristy has been walking my dog intermittently and has always been prompt and reliable! The board visit was no different! She promised frequent pics and updates and she delivered! You could tell my dog was having fun and was very well cared for! Cristy will be my go-to boarder as long as she is taking clients!”
“Rachel was wonderful! This was the first time I ever left my golden retriever with someone who was not family, so I was nervous. Kelly was well taken care of by Rachel. She kept me informed about how was Kelly was doing and she was very sensitive to her needs. Kelly was happy.”
“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!”
“Carol Ann was willing to meet us in advance for a “get acquainted” meeting. My dog, Missy Seemed to be very friendly with her (and her hubby John) is a bonus. Carol Ann kept me apprised kept good care of my Missy. Definitely looking forward to my Missy spending more time with Carol Ann.”
About: I have experience with all dogs, big and small. I can be trusted with all activities, from day care to simple walks around the neighborhood. My work is flexible with time and place. I work in homes and telehealth, so I am home for majority of the day. I would only be out a maximum 2 hours. I take care of the pup and their environment! I will make sure to take cautionary measures to prevent injury, including keeping the home cleaned and free of items that they could pick up.
“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!”
“Carol was amazing and made my Jasmine feel right at home. She took Jasmine on great walks and took the time to understand Jasmines routine to replicate it. I appreciate Carols attention detail and care. Will definitely work with her again. You can tell she cares about dogs!”
“Tina took really great care of Marley! She sent pictures and kept me informed on how he was doing while I was gone. I appreciate how she made Marley feel right at home and highly recommend Tina!”
“Mark was an amazing Rover for our dog! He gave her plenty of exercise and attention and sent several update photos over the course of the day. His backyard was perfect for Penny to run around and he was the perfect care taker for our fur baby!”
About: My family and I have been dog lovers and owners for over 27 years; caring not only for our own pups, but also for the dogs of friends and family. With that much experience, we know every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks and we love them all! We currently share our home with a sweet, high energy female boxer, who adores making new friends, so your pup will get both loving care and a playful buddy while you’re away. I’m available for boarding both weekdays and weekends making it easy to fit your dogs needs into my schedule. Dogs in our care enjoy a routine of two-three daily walks, early morning, mid afternoon and evening depending on dogs needs and weather. In addition they receive plenty of backyard playtime throughout the day to keep them happy healthy, and engaged. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to maintain their typical routine. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. The fenced in yard with locked gates provides a secure space for outdoor play, and our friendly 2 1/2 year-old boxer is here to keep your pup company. For added peice of mind, we have indoor cameras to keep an eye on things if we have to step out and cameras around the outside of the entire home, although dogs are never left unattended outside. I can also offer crates if preferred and have designated areas to separate dogs during feeding time to ensure a calm and stress-free environment.

“Kathy and John are both outstanding pet sitters. They took excellent care of Chrissy. I received several pictures every day. They took time to make sure my kitty was comfortable. I would highly recommend them and will use them again on a future vacation”
“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.”

I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also skilled in giving medications (oral, topical, or injectable if needed) and keeping up with any special routines your pet may have. At home, I’m a proud dog mom to one wonderful pups who keep me smiling every day. Whether it’s going for walks, snuggling, playing fetch, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for—and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away!

“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!”
“Wendy was great with my two cats! She offered a handful of sweet pictures to sift through on the daily, and my babes seemed so at ease in her presence. I'm incredibly thankful for Wendy's help and most importantly, love.”
“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.”
“Katie is the absolute best. When we return from a night (or a few away) Winks and Wilson are chill and relaxed, having been loved on, played with, and cared for. I love the pictures and the updates. Winks and Wilson love Katie!”
“Erin was super responsive, easy to communicate with, and reliable. Our cat, Stella, is extremely timid and nervous with new people, but Erin still managed to get some pictures of Stella so we could check in while we were away. We definitely recommend Erin and will look to use her drop in services again for future trips!”
“Kristen did a great job cat-sitting at my house. I left way too many instructions, which she followed perfectly. And both of my shy cats were comfortable enough to make appearances - one even let her pet him. She was also excellent at communicating and sending pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Carly was a blessing to have while we were away. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and she was able to administer it all. Super communicative and personable. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Hailey was fantastic! She took excellent care of my cat and sent lots of super cute pictures. I could tell she was engaged and played with my cat and she was always on time. I would definitely rebook with her again!”

“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!”
“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: 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.

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.

“Jessica was outstanding! She was available on NYE when I needed last minute help. She even came to the house during the day and met with me and Bowie for a meet and greet before she came back that evening on her own. She went above and beyond with sending me updates as well as photos and videos, and even did other things like refill his food and water and remove his collar once he was in for the night (as I requested).

I typically know my schedule for the month by the 15th of the previous month and am willing to work around everyone’s schedules to find the sweet spot of what works best for us. ✨🐴 Alongside experience with dogs and cats, I have experience caring for horses and pack mules! I have veterinary science experience in Equine Hoof & Limb from college, as well as several years of experience caring for therapeutic riding horses, National Park Service pack mules and horses, and show horses. I am a full-time park ranger with a very flexible schedule. I’m not trapped in a strict office schedule and have my month planned out by the 15th of the month prior, so I can absolutely plan care with a shorter or longer term notice. Due to my prior experience caring for pets and with veterinary science education, I am a very careful caregiver. For all animals, but especially for cats, I will regularly make sure I am not bringing anything in that could spread communicable diseases or endanger the animal in any way. With all animals but specific with dogs, they will not be left unattended to roam even in fenced areas that they are used to - I know how beloved animals are to our families, and I will always have an eye on your pet while they are in my care! Additionally, I will not bring in any other animals or guests that are not agreed upon with the owner beforehand - I believe that if you hire someone to watch, walk, or care for your pet, you deserve 100% clarity over who they are, what their experience is, and who/what is entering your space.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, learning to care for them when I was around 8 years old. Bathing, feeding, nail trimming, grooming, etc. I have cared for many animals throughout my life: dogs, cats, a snake, hamsters, chinchillas, fish, and even a rescue squirrel. We also have a horse who lives at a barn nearby. All animals deserve love, attention, and care. I am also available to provide additional services, such as simple household chores. More than happy to answer any questions you may have! I currently work a full time flexible schedule, mostly remote. I can work with your schedule if necessary to make sure your pet gets what they need. I can do as you please when it comes to safety. Leashed walks, or fenced in play. Crate or room separation. Whatever is your pets normal, I can abide by.

“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!”
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.

About: My family and I have been dog lovers and owners for over 27 years; caring not only for our own pups, but also for the dogs of friends and family.

Dogs in our care enjoy a routine of two-three daily walks, early morning, mid afternoon and evening depending on dogs needs and weather. In addition they receive plenty of backyard playtime throughout the day to keep them happy healthy, and engaged. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to maintain their typical routine. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. The fenced in yard with locked gates provides a secure space for outdoor play, and our friendly 2 1/2 year-old boxer is here to keep your pup company. For added peice of mind, we have indoor cameras to keep an eye on things if we have to step out and cameras around the outside of the entire home, although dogs are never left unattended outside. I can also offer crates if preferred and have designated areas to separate dogs during feeding time to ensure a calm and stress-free environment.
