House Sitting in Avenel

About: I grew up with three big beautiful dogs. Since then, I fell in love with dogs and learning about them. I finally adopted my own almost 5 years ago and it’s been a trip! I think every dog has different needs and I apply all the training, games, walks, mental stimulation and even cooking that I’ve been learning from them. I think good care is more than just walks. They are loving and I’m here for all they need to be balanced, fulfilled and HAPPY. Completely free early mornings, afternoons and weekends. I take my own dog for an early morning walk before work and make sure she is ready for some time alone while my wife and I work. We live in a beautiful apartment complex with tons of nature, dog park and plenty of areas to walk. We usually get in the car and take the dogs to play at bigger parks, the beach, hikes… wherever can be to give them new experiences!

“I could not be more pleased with McKenna watching my Lily! She accommodated a last-minute request, and I am so grateful she was available. My Lily can be a handful at times, but she took to McKenna, relaxed, and was a very good girl. I received photos and updates while away, which put me at ease so I could fully enjoy my time away from my fur baby. McKenna is such a lovely, sweet young woman who clearly loves and knows how to care for pets. I felt great having her in my home watching over my sweet, sometimes not-so-sweet, Lily. I would contact McKenna again without hesitation. She is amazing!”

“It was a very nice experience having Veronica cat sit my two fur babies. She was very good at communicating and very responsible! My cats really took to her fast, considering I have one that is very cautious around new people, was warming up to her quickly. When I came home things felt very good, the cats seemed happy and things went very smooth overall! I felt I could trust her so I was at ease while away! Will call again! :)”

“We had River care for our senior Labrador while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with -- conscientious in her preparations, very communicative throughout the stay giving us updates multiple times each day . She was able to accomodate all of our dog's idiosyncracies. At the end of the weekend everyone was happy! Will definitely work with River again.”

“Stacy was amazing! She kept me updated on how my dogs were doing throughout our vacation. I am usually one to stress out about leaving my dogs but I knew they were in good hands with Stacy. When we returned home I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for while we were gone.”

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

“Tara took very good care of my dog while I was attending my sisters wedding. She kept me informed on how he was doing throughout the night. She was also super flexible on staying a bit late when I needed her to. I’ll definitely use her again in the future if needed. Thank You Tara!”

“Sofia was the BEST! Our pups loved spending time with her while we were away! We recieved daily updates and photos which brought us peace of mind! She took care of our home as well...she treated it as if it was her own! We feel very lucky to have gotten to know her, and we will for sure want her to sit for our dogs again!”

About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“Taylor was great from start to finish. She was super responsive and took great care of our anxious pup while we were away. She stayed at our house throughout since our dog does not do well with other dogs. She updated us throughout her stay with her and was very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute. Highly recommend Taylor!”
