Pet Sitting in Martinsville

About: I love being with animals so much I made it a career! I was a former K-9 Handler for a major security company in New York City. I loved my job and I loved working with my K-9 partner however, life happened and my family grew! I am now a stay at home mom and a U.S. Army Veteran raising my little one! My pet experience is when I first had a hamster at the age of 4 years old. Having a hamster definitely made me want to take on more responsibilities. That quickly turned to having a gecko, multiple bearded dragons (lizards), 4 dogs, 6 hamsters, 2 guinea pigs, 1 beautiful red tail Boa Constrictor, and 2 Holland Lop bunnies. Yes, growing up with animals made me want to becoming a Veterinarian. I went to college but, I didn't realize that Organic Chemistry would kick my behind, and that becoming a Veterinarian is more than just cuddling and loving on an animal. It is about learning their body, just like human doctors do! Now I have a pre-law bachelors degree and would rather give love to your pet, while also looking out for them while you are away! I am only sitting 3 dogs at a time. I want to make sure your pet has my individual attention as if it was a human child! I am a full time stay at home mom. My daily routine is dropping off my daughter to daycare, taking my service dog Nala on a long walk, and coming back home to relax. I live in an apartment 1,250 sq ft (so lots of space), ground floor, I have a huge open space (unfenced) behind my house with open green grass for your furry friend to run around. I also have a patio as apart of my apartment unit. I live super close to 3 parks around Piscataway/Edison area.

“Madison has given me such peace of mind leaving my dog alone for extended periods without me. She is very caring and treats my dog well, and takes a lot of great pictures 😊”

“Lauren was great. Was dependable and took good care of my kitties while was away.”

“Esther Thottan is our first choice when we need a dog/Cat sitter. Her love for Dogs, cats and animals is beyond compare. Above all, Esther is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. Don’t ever worry about stressing or planning for a trip to the kennel , just let Esther come over and take care of your pets at home. AND, she will update you as often as you’d like regarding your pets and their behavior. Call her today!! We would be happy to refer Esther as a pet sitter.”

“Debbie did a great job. The dogs were happy and well taken care of. All my special instructions were followed without a problem. I would have Debbie back again.”

About: I have been a dog owner for about 15yrs. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dogs. I am able to administer medication if needed and can tend to special needs as well. My dog RJ is blind so I also understand the challenges they can experience. I am gentle and loving and can assure you your little one is in safe hands. I work 15mins away so I can come home midday for a pee break and be home as early as 6p. I have a one year old and share custody. I will typically not have him with me when sitting but would prefer dog’s who are kid friendly. This can be something we can discussed when setting up your dog’s time. I will do ever I can to ensure your dog feels safe, secure and happy. I will update you as much as you need. Although I live in an apartment there are a lot of courtyards and ample walking space for your little one. I will make sure they get a lot of play time (or little if that is what they prefer) and give them lots of snuggles as well.

“Yana was wonderful with my dog as usual!”

“Andie did an amazing job caring for our three cats! She was very proactive about giving updates and pictures and we felt very reassured with her there. We would definitely book with her again!”

“I have been working with Millie for the past couple of years. She has been watching my dogs whenever I go on vacation and occasionally comes over to walk and feed the dogs. She is very responsible and mature. She is always on time and takes her responsibility seriously. She is sweet, kind and I think she is a great animal caretaker!”

“Brandon is one of the most caring, trusting and lovable people that I know. He is such a good person around dogs, he will give the absolute best care to any dog that comes his way and the proof is evident in how good he took care of his own fur baby for the small time he had her. I’m sure he will provide the outmost care for your fur babies and makes his household their home away from home.”

“Nickie watched my dog during the day for several weeks when I had an overwhelming work schedule. She was always taking him to new and fun locations around Austin. She would let him swim and would play fetch with him all the time. She was always taking him on great long walks. It was so nice knowing that while I was gone, he was getting in lots of exercise and socializing with other people and dogs. He is a rescue and has some random anxieties but after the time that she watched him, I noticed that he was much less anxious around other dogs and new people. I highly recommend her as a dog walker or dog sitter. She did such a great job with my baby!”

“Milan was easy to communicate, she came on time, and reported to me exactly what was done. I would definitely use her next time!”

“Ashley was wonderful to work with! She was communicative, prompt, and great with our large dogs. I loved that she came with little treats and she was so sweet to leave jerky for the dogs when she left. We will definitely be using her again.”

“This team, Chloe and Sheila, were great! They were flexible with the times as this is the first time I used Rover. They communicated well and responded to texts promptly. Nate looked happy in the pictures they sent me. What a relief to know my fur baby was taken care of like he was theirs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Christian adores animals. He watches our family pets any time we go on vacation or we're away for the weekend. We have a big dog who he is able to keep calm and well behaved and we have always had cats as well. He is very responsive and helpful.”

“She is very nice and care about dogs.....and take a very good care of my dog Max...Thank you Natacha i will contact you every time i need you to take care of Max. I recomend her 100%”

“Sam is a great candidate for this kind of service because she is an animal lover at heart and it shows in the way she takes care of her cat and the way she has taken care of her previous pets over the years. Sam has a genuine passion for taking care of animals. She is always looking for ways to enrich her cats' life and is always looking for new things to buy her cat, making sure its environmentally safe as well. I don't think I know anybody else who loves animals as deeply as Sam does. She is not only a loving pet owner but a very responsible one at that. You can count on Sam for anything, especially if it has anything to do with an animal or pet.”

“I had the pleasure of having Kumud take care of Kane, my 75 lb Great Dane puppy, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Kumud is not just a dog sitter; she's a true dog lover. She showed tremendous care, attention, and patience with Kane. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I highly recommend Kumud as a dog sitter. She's reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Kane and I are both grateful for her excellent care”

“I was away for 2 weeks and leaving my cat alone for such a long time was weighing on me leading up to the trip. I was so appreciative of Kate for taking care of him 2x/day for that time, with pics and updates, which gave me huge peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip! My cat was great when I got back thanks to Kate and all the playing and pets 😊”

“I felt so comfortable leaving Milo with Karina. I totally appreciate receiving pictures letting me know that he was well adjusted and enjoying himself in their care.”
