Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wanamassa
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.
“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”
“Rachel was unbelievable while watching our dog Sammie. It was his first time really away from home and she immediately put all my worries to rest. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day during the entire stay, took Sammie to multiple parks, & even took him swimming for the first time. I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter, especially with our high energy pup. He came back a very exhausted but super happy doggo. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog. Definitely will be using Rachel again!! Super nice as well!”
“Angelica is a dream host! I can't wait to book my puppy with them again as soon as possible! I got the cutest photos of all of their adventures and he came back cleaner than I sent him and tired from all the fun!”
“Linda was wonderful and watched our 1 year old dog while we vacationed for the week. She took the time to send plenty of photos and took our dog on many fun walks around the neighborhood each day! Our dog was a rescue and tends to be very nervous and cautious in new situations. Linda took extra care to make sure he was happy and comfortable each day. I highly recommend booking with Linda!”
“Lori really took the time to ask questions about my dog and to understand how to make him comfortable and happy. He was well cared for and very comfortable with Lori, as the pictures she sent showed! I would definitely use Lori again in the future.”
“Julianna was great with our dog. She kept was updated and also sent us pictures of our dog. She responded quickly to our message which was nice of her. Will definitely recommend her to others and definitely book her again as well”
“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!”

“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!”

About: I’ve pet sat for my family quite a few times before over this year. I also have experience on what to do as I have two cats of my own and take care of them. I know what signs of needing space are and will respect the boundaries they may set for the times that they want to be left alone. Of course I would still watch over, but just maybe not play with them if they don’t feel like it.
“This is my second time booking with Anahi, and it’s been another great experience. She is highly communicative, very loving and attentive to my cat, and from the pics I get, he is clearly in love with her. I had concerns about being away during the winter storm, and both Anahi’s and Purr’s safety with roads iced over. We worked it out, and all was well. Thank you so much, Anahi! We appreciate you!”
“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!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wanamassa
“Katie (& her dog Talia) took excellent care of my fur babygirl Precious! Katie is super friendly, considerate, and a genuinely huge animal lover. I was updated with pictures & videos of Precious, as well as text updates on how she was doing & her progress with meals. I appreciate how careful Katie is with separating all the dogs during feeding/mealtimes. Precious can sometimes run out the door and it meant a lot to me that Katie took extra care to make sure that wouldn’t happen. Most importantly, Precious had so much fun & was amazingly taken care of. A+++++ *P.S. the drive from Howell (22 min) is worth it*”
“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!”
“Rachel was an amazing host for our Cleo. She made sure to know any special needs of our dog and also has a house that is very pet friendly. Lots of beds and toys for the pups to play with. Our dog loves the company of other dogs so her and Rachel’s dog got along like sisters. Rachel was kind enough to plan a day of activities for Cleo, taking her to a few dog parks and a nature walk (Rachel sends photos often so you can be aware of what they are up to). Cleo was happy and exhausted from the good time she had at Rachel’s and we all know a tired dog is a happy dog and care taker. Will be looking forward to having Cleo stay with Rachel again when we’re in the area.”

About: I grew up with a Shih Tzu and helped take of her. My sister has another Shih Tzu now that I dogsit often. Absolutely love small dogs and can give them all the love and attention they need. I work full-time, but I work from home 2 days a week. I live and work in Asbury, so if I dogsit in town I can easily go during lunch breaks to take the dog out. Otherwise, when I know I am dogsitting I will make sure to not make other plans so that my full presence can be with the dog. I would learn the norms of the home and what the dog needs to feel comfortable and safe by having a thorough conversation and observing the dog in their habitat. I will do my best to respect the dog and their parents’ environment.
“Joseph's calm demeanor immediately put our dog, Seven, at comfort. She is sometimes skiddish around new people and previous dog walkers had a tough time with even getting her to walk around the house. She's taken to him very quickly and now is someone we can rely upon to help take care of Seven.”

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.

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.
“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”
“Rachel was unbelievable while watching our dog Sammie. It was his first time really away from home and she immediately put all my worries to rest. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day during the entire stay, took Sammie to multiple parks, & even took him swimming for the first time. I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter, especially with our high energy pup. He came back a very exhausted but super happy doggo. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog. Definitely will be using Rachel again!! Super nice as well!”
“Angelica is a dream host! I can't wait to book my puppy with them again as soon as possible! I got the cutest photos of all of their adventures and he came back cleaner than I sent him and tired from all the fun!”
“Lori really took the time to ask questions about my dog and to understand how to make him comfortable and happy. He was well cared for and very comfortable with Lori, as the pictures she sent showed! I would definitely use Lori again in the future.”
“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!”
“Cheryl had our Leo for several days while we attended a family funeral. Everything was wonderful and Cheryl kept us up to date daily on how he was doing. I highly recommend Cheryl and her family if you need help with you pet. She was highly responsive and the entire experience was just perfect??”
“Kali was a great choice, she took great care of our dog( who can be challenging at times) She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Melissa took such great care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent me pics and updates at least once a day. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care, I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”

I provide private boarding in my home, individual pet sitting in your home, and fun & attentive walks. I am extremely tuned in to your pet's comfort, safety, and enrichment. I make sure every pet in my care gets plenty of physical and mental exercise and has lots of fun doing it! I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. Over the last 2 years, I've had the experience of caring for my senior (17-year-old) dog who became both blind and deaf. I am especially happy to provide care for your senior or special needs dog. I'm comfortable diapering, giving drops and meds, changing wee wee pads, and doing extra clean up. Caring for pets is my main job so I have availability 7 days a week. I am happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I am available. For boarding or doggie day care, your dog will be in my large, puppy-proofed living room. I have half a dozen cozy dog beds, dog toys, and treat puzzles. Dogs are also allowed on all furniture. Our Paw-ncierge Kessie is a very calm, 9-year-old Shih Tzu. She is dedicated to welcoming all furry friends 24/7, 365 days a year.

My backseat is set up with cozy dog beds and a pet hammock for safety.
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.
“Kat took amazing care of our Axel for the holiday weekend! She was super sweet, kind, accommodate us last minute, and actually cared to know his routine and what works for him. She kept me updated all throughout his stay! I felt safe knowing Axel was with her. 10/10, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Mary was excellent to work with. I was scared since it was my first time using Rover or leaving my pet with anyone that isnt family, but she sent me photos and kept me updated throughout our trip.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands on medical experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) and have 28 years of experience handling and caring for many species. I provide high level care, ideal for pets who need consistency, medication support, or a calm, reliable presence. I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs + my own dogs. Sometimes even caring for 100+ horses at one time! I take care of all of my friends' dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie in my photos). Whether I’m riding horses in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first. I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. Now that I have graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career, I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness!
