Cat Sitting Barnegat

“Jaime did a great job taking care of our 2 adult cats. She updated us and sent pictures of them daily so we felt confident that they were well taken care of as it was outlet first time using someone other than family. She even came for a preview to meet the kitties and us. We would definitely use Jamie again in the future.”

About: Hello pawsome fur parents! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of experience dog sitting, dog walking, and checking in on pets. I started caring for other people’s animals when I was 15 and have loved doing it ever since! I grew up surrounded by dogs, including a German Shepherd, two Golden Retrievers, and a Jack Russell mix, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have a fur baby of my own, a toy Labradoodle, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. My experience goes beyond dogs, too! I’ve cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and hamsters and am comfortable with the unique routines that come with small animals, including feeding, refreshing water and hay, cage or habitat upkeep, playtime, handling, and giving them plenty of attention while their humans are away. 🐰🐹 I also have experience administering injectable diabetes medication to both dogs and cats and am comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care instructions. Whether your pet needs a walk, a check-in, some playtime, medication, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. ❤️ I’m home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pets the attention they deserve! 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication, and lots of love and attention. Because I’m home during the day, I can also accommodate pets who need more frequent care, have specific routines, or simply aren’t used to being alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs or preferences. During drop-ins and walks, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and always keep a close eye on your pet and their surroundings. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your fur baby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you’re away! 🐾

“So happy to have found Leanne! We needed a last minute booking for several visits a day for a few days. She was so reliable and took great care of Emma. She even saved a few of our large plants on deck because of high wind. We will surely booking with Leanne again!”

“Brianna took care of my rambunctious, wild dog(Husky/Rottweiler) in my house that's being renovated. It was not an easy job and she did excellent! She also walked her everyday, If you're wondering if Brianna can handle your spunky dog, she def can!”

About: Hi! My name is Mia. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dogs; being able to love and take care of my three munchkins is one of my favorite parts of being alive. That being said, half of my heart will always be with animals. I grew up in an incredibly dog-loving family. We unfortunately never had any cats, but I have assuredly tried to change that; unsuccessfully :( From a very young age, I was constantly put in charge of keeping an eye on my dogs while my family was out or had company over. I realized I didn’t mind at all! I currently have three pups! My senior Lab mix, Oreo; a Cavapoo, named Charlie; and a Cockapoo, named Benny. I won't be shy to repeat how much love and joy these dogs give me every day. Since being the token dog-babysitter all my life, my family encouraged me to find a job at my local doggy daycare. I had always admired how much thought and detail they put into their business, and was excited for the opportunity to be surrounded by animals all day, MY DREAM! I ended up being very disappointed, however. It turns out my version of pet care didn’t exactly align with theirs. Since there are SO many animals in that facility, they did everything in a very one-size-fits-all manner. 4 walks a day, feeding, group playtime, next dog. In theory, that was an honorable system with that many dogs in one building. However, I had always wanted to go dog by dog, get to know them, sit in their kennel with them, and take my time. I wasn’t always able to do that due to the system already put in place. I realized each and every animal are so incredibly different and fluid in their own way. They require different things, have different habits, like things a certain way, and have different backgrounds and preferred environments. For example: my dog, Benny, was rescued from a foster family that takes in animals that are up for euthanization. We aren’t fully sure of what Benny’s life was like before that, but we know he was tossed around to households that didn’t treat him the best. This makes him the extremely reactive dog he is today. It is very frustrating to have a pet who attempts to bite every single stranger that he doesn’t know very well, but that makes it all the more worth it. To know that we are able to be that safe, loving family for him; To know that we are working on his anxiety towards new people in the most gentle way possible, like so many other families have failed to do. All of this to say I like to take my time with all puppies and have lots of experience with reactive/senior pets! I prefer to get to know them, adhere to their routine, likes and dislikes, and make sure my care is at the utmost quality as they’d like it. I have fortunately reclaimed my token-dog-babysitter title and have been able to take care of many of my friends’ and family's pets for weeks/days at a time, and would love to do the same with yours! Also PS: I do not require any pet sitters myself, so the “My Pets” tab is empty. All of my babies are in my “Photos” tab. I am currently a college student, so my schedule is pretty much limited to Friday-Sunday for long term care. Along with another part-time job. However, my schedule varies week to week, so if there is any point where you would need care during weekdays, I am completely open to coming up with a solid plan and schedule. I much prefer to go to the clients home, since my three pups don't exactly love the extra company. However, I am very meticulous with the way I treat other peoples spaces and animals, as I have mentioned before. I would not like anyone coming into my home, and not honoring it the way I see fit. I also have a very OCD system, where I ensure everything is clean and where it should be before I leave. Again, this is your home and your system, there is no reason it should be disrupted. All that being said, your pet is my #1 priority. After reading my "get to know me," I am sure you are very familiar with my method and how much time I like to take with animals. I also realize it would be really hard to explain my own dogs specific routine to anyone else, but I WANT YOU TO BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE! If they will only take medication every night with a certain flavor of pill pocket, or only can be hand-fed their breakfast/dinner; I want to know it all!

“This was our second time booking with Jennifer and we will definitely book with her again in the future! It’s so nice to know that Rosie is in good hands and that we have someone we can trust to take great care of her.”

About: I’ve worked with the bull terrier rescue mission for about two years and i’ve had cats and dogs my whole life including sick ones and ones with behavioral issues. I currently am between jobs and can help most of the time including weekends and weekdays. will update if things change in the future. yay I have fostered dogs back to healthy weights. i feed animals one meal a day unless advised otherwise with constant access to water. i give my animals treats including animal safe human food- not too much though and keep a clear boundary on what they can and can’t eat. I will try everything (within reason) to make a dog or cat happy if they are restless or upset. i trim they’re nails and groom them myself if needed.

“Daisy did a great job caring for my cat when I was away. He’s a big scaredy cat, but warmed up to her fairly quickly. I would hire her again!”

Elizabeth S.

“Hannah is great with our pets, and also very responsive and pleasant. We don’t worry about the pets when we know Hannah is taking very good care of them while we are away.”

Karin R.

“Caitlin was great! She gave me peace of mind while I was away for an extended period of time. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

“Madelyn provided outstanding care for my 2 year-old pup. She took her on walks, made sure her water & food bowls were cleaned and refilled, and gave her a lot of love and attention in my absence. She is responsible and trustworthy and I highly recommend her.”

Diane M.

“Emily was fantastic! She was wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process from when we first contacted her for a meet and greet, all the way til the last visit ended. She not only read all our lengthy instructions and brutally honest descriptions of all 3 of our pups, but retained all the info on them, as well. Our pups loved her sweet demeanor, and the attention she gave each of them. She was super punctual and trustworthy. Will definitely be using her again while she's available and not at school!”

About: I have owned, rescued and fostered many dogs over the last 25 years. My experience lies in many sizes and breeds. I am also trained in CPR and first aid just in case an emergency arises. I have a special place in my heart for seniors and I have provided a loving home to several of them in their golden years. Dogs, like us, have personalities, quirks and mood swings. They can and will test us. My many years of experience and love for dogs gives me the patience and understanding to deal with difficult situations. I am available full time and on weekends to provide the time and attention your dogs and cats need. That would include drop ins, feeding, walking, poop cleanup and YES even baths. I can also administer medications. Dogs require a structured routine with both feeding and exercise. Your dog is your family and I will treat them like a member of my own pack.

“Kayla was such a great cat sitter! I was gone for two weeks and she checked in on my Louie every other day (and even watered my plants!). My cat is shy when I’m not around and Kayla was so kind with my Louie and gave her treats and played with her (even though my cat was being very antisocial). She sent me pictures and updates with every drop-in visit. I definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and I will definitely book her again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Kayla!”

“Lori has become BFF with my dog Lulu. I have always had a large enough family for Lulu to be watched by family. Reaching out to Rover and finding Lori has been miracle. We now think of Lori as part of the family.”

Margaret B.

“Maranda was a doll! She was attentive and loving with our fur babies, and made sure we were kept up to date with how they were. We will definitely be calling her again!”
