“Angel was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pictures of our pup. It’s clear that she’s very knowledgeable about dogs and cares about them very much. Next time I go out of town I’ll be looking to see if Angel is available to watch our pup again!”
“Ann was very sweet and made my dogs feel welcome as she provided a safe and comfortable place for the pets boarding. Everything went well and we had no issues so I can look forward to using her services again and feel comfortable recommending her. Thanks you.”

“Susan took very good care of my cat. She kept me informed throughout the week. My cat clearly enjoyed her "vacation". I will absolutely use Susan in the future. I highly recommend her. She does have her own dog. The dog is very well behaved and not at all aggressive. There were no interaction problems for my cat.”
“Kathleen took such good care of Brownee! Brownee came back home well fed and happy. She definitely got comfortable at Kathleen’s and I’m happy for it. Once again, Kathleen shared updates and pictures throughout the stay, and when I picked Brownee up, Kathleen gave a thorough overview of all happenings. I really appreciate it.”
“Koda had the best time!! I was so thankful for the frequent updates and communication. I would absolutely leave him with Erika and Robert again!”
“Shirley was absolutely wonderful! She was able to watch our Goldendoodle, Cleo, on very short notice, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we dropped Cleo off, Shirley provided updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cleo was well cared for, happy, and in great hands the entire time. We truly appreciated the love and attention Shirley gave our sweet pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you again, Shirley!”

Best part they slept for an entire day after we picked them up. Tired pups are happy pups! Thank you both!”
“Stacy was wonderful. He took really good care of our elderly dog and made her comfortable in every way.

“Lauryn was absolutely amazing with our cats while we were on vacation! She followed every instruction perfectly, sent us regular photo updates, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was that she even won over our super shy girl, who usually hides from everyone. Seeing her come out for Lauryn and enjoy the attention meant so much to us. It’s obvious Lauryn truly loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her every time we travel. Highly recommend!”

“Melissa was an absolute delight and I was very relaxed to leave my cats in her hands. Both my cats fell in love with her. She was very attentive and took much care when feeding/cleaning for Lima and Kedi. She made sure she arrived on time and followed all the care instructions I had left. I will definitely recommend her and would get her to look after my cats again in the future.”
“Malexy did a fantastic job watching our two cats for a week! She was extremely responsive and prompt which really made us feel comfortable while out of town. She went above and beyond with her attention to detail and kept us well informed. We will definitely book again!”

I also have 2 large female (spayed) dogs to keep your dog(s) company. If they need to be crated I can accommodate that as well. Please let me know if your dog needs any medications or special needs.
“Becky is the Best I highly recommend. My Hank knows exactly who I am talking about when I say her name and his friends. He is waiting at door to go soon as I ask if he wants to see ecky. When I come to get him before I knock he knows it's me and is alking at the door. Great sitter.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Newark
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, literally since the day I was born. My experience spans dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, and rabbits, giving me a deep understanding of animals with very different personalities, needs, and routines. I began fostering animals at 12 years old alongside my mom, helping care for them and place them into loving forever homes. My first job was as an in home pet sitter, and I immediately fell in love with providing animals the consistent care, attention, and comfort they need while their families are away. For over 10 years, I managed a farm, which taught me how to confidently handle multiple animals at once, follow detailed care routines, and stay calm, observant, and organized in dynamic environments. While I have years of hands on experience, my love and respect for animals has always come first. As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Because of that, I’m intentional about clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently working remote so my schedule always is very flexible. I can provide multiple potty breaks through out the day and I also enjoy taking pets on a mid day walk. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs and a quiet neighborhood perfect for our daily walks. Crating is also available per your request.
About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but I do have to make trips outside of the house 2-6 hours. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”

About: Hi! I’m Sophie, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️ I grew up helping at my aunt’s pet hotel starting when I was 13 years old, and that’s where my love for caring for animals truly began. Now at 19, I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work at Three Bark Pet Hotel in Alvarado, where I care for a designated room of up to 10 dogs each day and also help care for cats when needed. My responsibilities include feeding on schedule, making sure every pet always has fresh water, taking them on potty breaks and walks, supervising playtime, cleaning their rooms, bathing them when necessary, and making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the day. 🐕🐈 The biggest reason I love this job is because every pet has their own unique personality. I genuinely get excited every time I meet a new dog or cat, and I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and love while their family is away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were one of my own. 💕 Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax, I’ll always meet them where they’re most comfortable and make sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday life! Between working at Three Bark Pet Hotel and being a full-time college student, I’ve learned how important consistency, responsibility, and communication are.✨ I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, potty breaks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. ❤️ I’ll also send frequent updates and photos because I know how comforting it is to know your furry family member is happy while you’re away. 📸🐾 Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities. ❤️ I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs before caring for them. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, keeping their space clean, giving medication if needed, or simply spending quality time with them, I’ll always treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect that I give my own. 🌸✨ I understand that trusting someone with your pet can be stressful. That’s why I believe communication is so important. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is receiving genuine care and attention. 🐶🐱💕
“Karly is great! Super responsive, provided very thorough report cards, and my boys really enjoyed their walks with her. Karly was flexible and available one night for an unscheduled, last minute drop-in. Puppy saver!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs in the home and became the local animal care taker. From horses, to cats, to chickens and dogs I did it all. I then moved on to have 4 children and excited to show them what it looks like to care for animals of all types! I have a heart for taking care of the ones around me and would love to care for your animal as if they were my own. I have cared for puppies and kittens and took care of my own dog as she grew old and eventual passed. We only board one families dogs at a time to be able to give the best care possible. We raised our rates recently as rover is now taking 30% off the top so I do apologize for this. We are a homeschooling family and would love to use this as a time to get out and walk and spend some time loving on animals as we havent been able to get one of our own yet. We have a daughter who dedicate every waking moment to any animal we care for! We have a large yard to run and play and if we are at your home or ours we will follow any instructions to make sure your loved one is well cared for.
About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.

“Excellent family to leave our "old man" Briggs with. He's a 16-year old senior lab, and he did well with them, even during a treacherous ice storm in TX! Brianne sent me daily pictures and updates on him. I would highly recommend without any reservations.”
“Ann was very sweet and made my dogs feel welcome as she provided a safe and comfortable place for the pets boarding. Everything went well and we had no issues so I can look forward to using her services again and feel comfortable recommending her. Thanks you.”
“Betty seemed to be well cared for. As a very timid rescue, Betty has a hard time being away from home. We were glad that we found someone to love on her while we were visiting family.”
“Susan took very good care of my cat. She kept me informed throughout the week. My cat clearly enjoyed her "vacation". I will absolutely use Susan in the future. I highly recommend her. She does have her own dog. The dog is very well behaved and not at all aggressive. There were no interaction problems for my cat.”
“Koda had the best time!! I was so thankful for the frequent updates and communication. I would absolutely leave him with Erika and Robert again!”
“Shirley was absolutely wonderful! She was able to watch our Goldendoodle, Cleo, on very short notice, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we dropped Cleo off, Shirley provided updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cleo was well cared for, happy, and in great hands the entire time. We truly appreciated the love and attention Shirley gave our sweet pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you again, Shirley!”
“She was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating for our girls! She was even flexible to add another night when we came back to A/C issues. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Stacy was wonderful. He took really good care of our elderly dog and made her comfortable in every way. He sent updates and pictures throughout our time away, which gave us lots of piece of mind that she was being well taken care of. When you meet him you can see the love for pets that he has and that he will take care of your pet as his own. We will definitely be booking with him in the future.”
“Rhonda was so good to our boys! She sent us pictures the whole time we were away. She spoiled them just like her own. We will definitely use Rhonda for our future bookings!”
“She was awesome. She provided daily updates with photos of my dog. She also walked her daily and was with her basically all day long. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to run around in as well. My dog had a great experience there.”
“Lindsey and her family were amazing! I received daily updates and pictures that put me at ease. This was the first time I have ever left my dog with someone outside of our family so I was extremely nervous however I would leave him with Lindsey again and again! After seeing all the fun they had I was almost afraid Rocco wouldn’t want to come home! Highly recommend Lindsey!”
“Gina and her family took wonderful care of our cat, Chloe. She kept us updated throughout Chloe’s stay and sent photos showing how happy and comfortable she was in her home. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”
“We had a great experience with Angie and Evelin! They took wonderful care of both of our babies, Scarlett and Milo, she sent me updates and photos while I was away. Both dogs came home happy and well-loved, which is so important. They even sent them both home with a little holiday gift toy. I highly recommend Angie and Evelin!”
“Adrianne was very communicative about any updates with Hazel. She showed me lots of pictures and videos over the course of her stay. When she noticed that my dog had a splinter, she immediately tended to it, and let me know. Overall, she made sure my pup was well taken care of, and definitely tuckered out after a long day of play with new friends. Definitely would book again.”
