“Brenda is conscientious and cares about keeping me informed about how my Luka was doing with a new sitter. She is generous and takes the time to visit to get to know me, my pet, and her needs. I will definitely have Brenda back to care for my fur girl!”


“This was the first time we left our puppy Fiona. We left her with Evangeline and couldn’t be more pleased. Fiona loves her. Our puppy and home were very well taken care of. We would definitely use Evangeline again!”


“Chelsea was an absolutely wonderful sitter to our dog and three cats! Our dog is anxious and reactive and from our meet and greet to the actual day of sitting, Chelsea respected his space, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She also was great with our cats that all warmed up to her so quickly. We are so grateful to Chelsea for the updates she gave us, as we were actually able to enjoy our weekend knowing our pets were in good hands. Will definitely be hiring Chelsea in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Pixie was amazing with our 2 dogs and house sitting while we were away for the weekend. She kept in constant communication sending updates, pictures and even telling us when she had to leave and how long she would be gone. I honestly dont think I worried once about them or our house! We already have her booked again for our next trip.”


“Jaden was wonderful! Attentive and responsive. Bella was excellent cared for she went above and beyond!!”


About: I've had animals since I was little, cats, dogs, reptiles, ferrets, and I've loved them all as if they were my children, specific dietary or exercise needs is no problem for me. A pet to me is a part of the family. I'm currently working part time, available Monday through Friday on most weeks, I'll house sit for up to a week and a half. I currently don't have a license because of covid slowing me down, but I am working on it and someone can drop me off at the location. I have a fenced backyard and my childhood dog had many issues later on in life so dietary or medication is no issue for me. The family dog I have now is the most stubborn dog I have ever met, having to work with him has taught me how to deal with stubborn or slightly aggressive dogs.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I offer a comprehensive and compassionate pet care service. From energetic dogs of all sizes to the unique needs of feline companions, I've developed a deep understanding of how to provide personalized attention and create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for every pet. Whether it's playful walks and fetch for your pup or gentle grooming and interactive playtime for your cat, I'm dedicated to ensuring your furry friends feel loved, secure, and happy in my care. You can trust that your pets will receive the highest level of attention, tailored to their individual needs and preferences. My schedule allows for flexible pet care services to fit your needs. I am available every weekend and after work Monday through Thursday, starting at 4:30 PM. Additionally, I am available every other Friday after 1 PM. I also have an hour lunch break from 1-2 PM Monday through Thursday, which can be used for pet visits or walks if needed. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I am committed to providing a secure and supervised setting, ensuring your furry friends are always safe and protected. Building trust is essential, and I achieve this through consistent, gentle interactions and positive reinforcement, allowing your pets to feel relaxed and secure in my presence. I ensure a clean, welcoming environment. You can rest assured that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and respect, creating a positive and stress-free experience for everyone.

About: Hello!! My name is Briana, but I go by Bri :). I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I”ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and fish. I have my own cat for over 5 years and have regularly helped friends and family with their pets while they are on vacation. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, playtime or cuddles. I’m all about giving your fur babies a comfortable and loving space as well as giving you a peace of mind! :) I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday. I get off around 4:30-5 each day (depends) and I’m pretty much free on most weekends :) I prefer not to care in my home since I still live with my parents. However, in your home, I would make sure your pet gets the love and care they need and deserve! I will make sure they stay hydrated, fed, loved for, play with them, even take them on walks or cuddle and watch a movie! :)

“Michael was amazing. Handled my puppy like a pro. Definitely recommend him for your pet needs! 10/10 will be using him as my main rover moving forward.”


“She was perfect. Everything you could want in someone taking care of your fur babies (all 4 of ours!) We will definitely be using her again! Thanks again!”


“Kathryn was so amazing with our high maintenance pup. We received daily updates and pics. When we came home he was happy to see us but looked like he had a great time without us. The house also looked great. Kathryn even left some music on for Theo which she knew that he loves. Thank you so much Kathryn!”


“I was super nervous about using this service as it was our first time using. Halee was great, she house sat and was at our house when she said she was going to be. Our dog and cats were well taken care of. My cats aren’t usually fond of strangers and they even liked her. She kept in communication with me while gone and my house was the same as when I left it. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”



About: Hello, my name is Hayley. I have 14 years plus experience with pet care. I have experience in feeding, taking walks, administering medication, and giving animals all the love and attention that they deserve. I have watched 10 animals at one time including goats, dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions. Can talk about price too! I have a lot of open availability, not currently working right now. I'm gearing my way towards spending more time with animals, ensuring their happiness, having a fun time together, and learning something new from every animal in my care. I will ensure that your furbabie(s) will get the best care, attention, and love that they deserve. Knowing about an animals behavior ahead of time helps me ensure they they will not be stressed but stress free.

“My pups had a great time with her. She was so wonderful with them.”


“Matt is AMAZING! My two french bulldogs can be a HANDFUL! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find anyone who would want to watch them because my younger frenchie has a tendency to be quite nasty to my older boy & he also has a need to constantly establish dominance with ANYONE who comes to my house, but Matt was up for the challenge! I did not have to worry once the entire weekend! He was in constant communication with me, updating me on their behavior and even sent me pictures. I cleaned my house before leaving for vacation and was worried that when I returned it would be a mess because of the dogs- they act like feral frenchies & will sprint inside with dirt all over their paws and jump on the couch and on my white rugs- they just dgaf-(like most frenchies though, right?) But to my surprise my house was spotless- if Matt was able to watch Loki & Diesel without any problems - then I can assure you- he will have no problem looking after your 4 legged baby/babies! If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you for everything Matt! You are the best!”


“Zoe is kind, dependable, and was a very neat house guest. She took great care of our two dogs and I would highly recommend her for dog/house sitting services!”


About: I go above and beyond for my pups! Making sure to spend plenty of time getting their energy out, stimulating their brains with new smells, sights. as well as all their needs being met. I’m not specially trained in looking after dogs with lots of medical needs, but am detail oriented, and willing to learn on the spot! I will always make sure to care for them as they are my own. I currently work part time with the hospital. I have every afternoon- evening off, and always stop in to check on them in the mornings! I care for others homes, the same as my own! Don’t worry about coming back to messes, I got you covered! your home is mine!

About: Residents of Glenwood Apartments in Old Bridge have priority! Until JUNE 16th I am NOT available for weekday mornings! AFTERNOONS ONLY! [ABOUT ME] I was a puppy raiser for The Seeing-Eye between 2005 and 2016. My family raised 6 puppies starting at 8 weeks old, so I am well-versed in both puppy care and training. As puppy raisers it is our job to socialize our puppies to new environments and teach them basic obedience and manners as they will need to be well-behaved in public for their future blind partner. I also formerly worked at the family dog training school. I've lived with primarily German Shepherds, as well as a pitbull and collie. Though I have met and understand a wide variety of dog breeds. My animal experience doesn't stop at dogs & cats, either! I've personally owned or cared for rats, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, freshwater fish, snakes, lizards and even horses!

About: I have taken care of a spectrum of animals, given how well off they were, might as well give this a try! :) From as small as hamsters to as big as Great Danes, I am here to assist! I’m currently working part-time, my schedule is very flexible! Let’s talk more about what we can do! During the daytime is when I am mostly available. But I am not only limited to the daytime. My residence is very spacious, allowing a great safe space for pets! There is also a nearby dog park, a wonderful area for dogs to roam!
