Dog Sitting Watchung

“Jasmin took great care of our cat while we were away and kept us updated on how she was doing. She let us know when our cat wasn't feeling well so we could be prepared to take care of her when we got home. She even cleaned up our cat's messes for us so we didn't have to! We always feel better being away when Jasmin is there to take care of our cat.”

About: Growing up with many pets, I always enjoyed spending time with and caring for my furry family members. While in college and into present day, I continued to work with animals through dog walking as well as pet and house sitting. Past clients, friends, and neighbors rely on me to care for and spoil their furry family members while away from home on trips or simply for a quick gaunt to the park. In the past, I worked with cats, dogs, and other mammals, but I am more than happy to learn how to care for other pets, such as amphibians, birds, and reptiles. I have a flexible job full time job. I am available most days of the week except Thursday to relocate for pet and house sitting. I’m flexible to swing by to check on your pet or take for a walk throughout the day if overnights are of less interest. I am available throughout the day for quick let outs and check-ins with your pets. I can easily crate your dog in my apartment while boarding them. I also live 5 minutes from a great dog parks for your pup to get socialization. For cats and other furry friends, there is plenty of room for them to roam and play. FYI: I do have one cat, named Sedona. She is very chill around other pets and does her own thing.

“Karina took amazing care of our dogs while we were away—reliable, loving, and super communicative. We got daily updates, and our dogs were clearly happy and well-loved. Highly recommend Karina to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Thank you so much Alissa!!! She took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She took the time to come meet us before our trip, and left incredibly thoughtful notes and wonderful pictures while we were gone. We felt like we didn’t have to stress at all. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate it!!!”

“Richie is great. I have booked his services a couple of times to visit our home to take care of our dog Pepper. Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”

“Kevin dropped in with short notice, was very responsive and helped us feel at ease on a busy day knowing our pup would get some attention and a nice break. A plus for our dog was that he got to play his favorite game. Thanks Kevin!”

About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I started dog sitting for my neighbor and fell in love with dog sitting/dog walking. I love being around dogs & being able to care for them. I am working full-time Monday through Thursday and I am pretty flexible to take care of your pets on the weekends. I volunteer as an EMT on the weekends but I am able to work around that schedule. I’ve had a dog ever since I was born. When I was born, my parents had a yellow lab named Hudson who I absolutely adored. I enjoyed feeding him, playing with him, and enjoyed walking him (with some help). Shortly after Hudson passed, we got Roxy - our 16 year old cockapoo who we recently had to put down. Ever since Roxy was a puppy, I enjoyed taking walks with her, playing with her, and relaxing with her. She was my best friend and I was usually the person who was in charge of taking her out for walks and to go to the bathroom.

“Words honestly can’t describe how amazing Kelley was! This was my first time using Rover and my senior Boxer’s first time having someone come in for drop-ins. I had to leave out town and couldn’t have imagined boarding her. Kelley was kind, communicative, and most importantly patient and understanding given that Sadie was a little hesitant at first. Kelley eased all my worries and even gave a fantastic suggestion on what could help ease some of Sadie’s hesitancy. I will definitely be booking Kelley again!”

“Hiral made daily/frequent various in visits to our chihuahua mix (Rue) for 3 and a half months. If I could giver her 10 stars, I absolutely would! Hiral is incredibly punctual, professional, communicative, and flexible. Rue was 5 months old when Hiral first started and is now almost 9 months old. Rue would not be the well behaved, potty trained pup that she is without Hiral. We and Rue will miss you Hiral! Good luck with your future endeavors! Thanks again!”

About: I am an animal lover through and through and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am playful and energetic when it’s time for fun, but also calming and soothing when it’s time to relax. I’ve been around animals my whole life, owning dogs, parakeets, fish, snails, frogs, and any other critter who needed care. I currently am a rat mom of 2 albino boys that I love dearly! I would be happy to watch over any of your critters, including cats, dogs, small mammals like rats or mice or hamsters, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and more. I truly love all animals and it would be a joy to meet & care for them! I’m currently a commuter student at Rutgers University, so I do have class Monday through Friday for a few hours during the day. Outside of weekday classes (I will provide you my schedule and we can coordinate), I am fully free nights & weekends. I always let the animal guide the experience depending on their comfort level. I want them to feel safe and secure, and will only do what is recommended by you/what the animal is comfortable with. This could mean lots of playtime, or just sitting on the couch near each other if the animal is feeling unsure, or just feeding & leaving. Each situation is different and I will assess appropriately based on the information you give me and how the animal reacts. I can assure you they are safe as can be with me!
