Dog Sitting Bayville

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the experience I've gained caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I volunteered with ACCT Philly Animal Shelter, where I helped care for both dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments and needs. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable, whether working with energetic puppies, shy rescue dogs, or senior pets that need a little extra care and compassion. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family always had multiple pets, and I was known as the one who spent the most time caring for them. Whether it was feeding, walking, playing, or simply making sure they felt safe and loved, I naturally took on that role because I truly enjoy being around animals. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience because they're a puppy or senior, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine—it's a part of my everyday life. I truly believe that when you choose to have pets, you make the time for them. The people closest to me joke that I'm a bit of a "helicopter mom" with my animals, but I think that's exactly why we have such a strong bond. I love going above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy, healthy, and enriched. On nice days, I bring my cats out onto our secure porch so they can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine. I hide treats around the house to create little "brain games" that keep them mentally stimulated, stay on top of their grooming and hygiene, and make sure each of my pets gets one-on-one attention every day. I think it's important that every animal feels loved as an individual, not just as part of the group. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Whether it's sticking to their normal routine, making time for extra play, or simply giving them companionship while you're away, I'll care for them with the same dedication I give my own. I believe the best pet care starts with understanding both the pet's needs and the owner's expectations. I'm also a strong advocate for respecting boundaries—both yours and your pet's. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member can feel nerve-racking. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you prefer frequent updates, lots of photos, detailed visit summaries, or specific instructions on how you'd like your pet cared for, I'm happy to accommodate your preferences.

About: I have been taking care of all types of animals, including training dogs since I was little. I have always seen myself working with animals and it has been a true joy! I previously worked at a pet boarding and doggy daycare facility for a of couple years, gaining even more experience before I started my own dog walking and pet sitting business, called Furry Care that has been very successful and running for several years now. I have experience with a variety of animals such as cats, dogs, hedgehogs and more. Any opportunity I have to care for more furry friends, I gladly take! I currently am booking drop in visits for dogs 3X a day for pet sitting and regular dog walking. I also offer overnight services at your own home for pet sitting and drop in visits for cats and other furry friends. All pets are taken care of in your own home with updates and pictures of your fur baby. Doors are locked back up after services and key location/code are strictly kept confidential.

“Emily was WONDERFUL with our three dogs. She is responsible and a great communicator. She sent pictures from each visit. Our pups loved spending time with her. We’d definitely use her again.”

About: My love for animals has always been very strong since I was little. I have experience with watching puppies and dogs, I also have a pup and will willingly provide care to your pet as if it were my own because pets are family. I’m currently working a part-time job and go to class Mondays/Wednesdays during the day. I can do overnights in your home, but we can work it out to what works best for us and your furry friend! I have a fenced backyard for your pet, i have a crate whenever you would like me to. I also have a camera in my home if I need to run out quickly, I am able to check on them.

“Curt was easy to work with. I have a big dog that I trusted Curt with and a sometimes difficult reactive dog. It is hard to find someone who is patient with my difficult dog so it was nice to be able to get away for the night and know my dogs were safe!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs to take care of as well as helping friends with their pets. If someone was to take care of my dog, I’d want them to be loving, responsible, and friendly and that’s exactly how I’d be with your pup! I’m here to help you out, so you just have to let me know when :) I work full time 8-4, Monday to Friday. Any time after my work hours I can help. And I can do any day or time on the weekends if I’m available. If you have a fence, I’m triple checking that it’s locked before we play outside. And making sure their bed is as comfy as mine is only fair!

“I'm so glad we chose Melissa to care for our cat Jake while we were away. She filled out his report card every day and she always kept us in the loop,a long with daily pictures. We will be using Melissa again in the future. Jake seemed very content when we got home.”

About: I've had cats and dogs since I was 2. I love animals, whether it's being excited as a dog is when they meet a new friend, or befriending and making a cat comfortable with me I work from home full time, and often have down time where I came come out and check up on your pert, whether it's feeding them, or letting them stretch their legs in the backyard or during a walk while you are at work. Id treat them as my own. I know cats and dogs get curious about things that may not always be the best for them, so I try to put away or hide things that may look like trouble. During walks I avoid busy roads and other dog walkers to avoid pet confrontations. I always look around at my surroundings for vehicles or other hazards while still letting the dogs explore safely.

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.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like my own. My experience includes daily care, feeding routines, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, patient, and dedicated to making pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I'm excited to help care for your pets! i currently have a decently flexible schedule! Available weekdays after 2pm and all weekends. I can adjust to your pet care needs. Your pet will never know you're gone! I will treat them as my own pet and keep on their current routines to establish a great transition!

About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!

“Kasper is the best! They took extra good care of my 3 kitties and followed all instructions left. They sent me tons of pictures and left detailed notes of each visit. I felt the my kitties were safe and in caring hands with Kasper. I also felt my house was safe and locked up properly each time. I will 100% be reaching out for Kasper’s services again in the future. - I can tell you truly care about animals and that’s very important to me in a petsitter. Thank you again for everything.”

About: Growing up with dogs has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. I bring a lot of energy and confidence to my walks, making me a great fit for larger, high-energy breeds or young pups who are still working on their leash manners. At the same time, I have a deep respect and gentle approach for senior pets who require extra patience, medication administration, or just a calm companion to keep them company With football coaching wrapped up for the season, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to pet care. Because I don't have conflicting commitments, I can offer flexible, highly reliable availability throughout the week for midday walks, drop-in visits, or consistent routines. Your dog will be my main priority, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and structured care exactly when they need it. In my clients' homes, my top priority is maintaining your dog's established routine while keeping your home secure. I double check locks, ensure gates are closed tightly, and always stick to the specific feeding and medication schedules you provide. If a dog is staying at my home, they enter a secure, dog friendly environment where they are treated like family. Because I'm home full time right now, your pet will never be left unsupervised, and they will enjoy a structured routine of frequent backyard play, supervised socialization, and plenty of safe space to relax.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life and helping friends and family with their dogs for years as well. I would love to help you out with your furry friends when life gets busy. I work full time but get out at 11am every day and have the rest of the day/afternoon open to drop in or visit. Wednesdays I am off so have morning available that day as well. I can crate your dog if needed, I can keep them on a leash to go out if they are a bit of an escape artist, and along with loving on them will keep my eyes on them for our entire visit.

“Patty was an excellent drop-in sitter. She was punctual with feedings and put me as ease with the details messages and multiple pictures taken. I will use her again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: Multiple years of pet care experience. Specializing with patience in nervous/ anxious dogs but I care for all! I am a loving dog mom that obsessed with my fur baby & will treat yours as my own! I currently work a full time job but I work from home two days a week which gives me more time to watch your pet! I am available weekends & during the week can do early morning, evening, & night time drop ins/ walks. **Please be advised that I work a full time job & am in office 2.5 days a week, this can mean that some days I will not be able to spend the entire day with your pup, please message me with any questions so that we can work something out** I care for your pet in your house as you would! If you'd like, I'll crate your pet upon departure or make sure they are comfortable roaming while you are gone. I provide care in your home so that your pet is comfortable while you’re away. When walking dogs I will make sure all of the accessories you use are used, as well as any other safety precautions I think may be necessary so your fur baby stays close to me & makes it home safely (collar, leash, harness, treats, etc). I promise to make sure to give them a lot of belly rubs, play with them, & let them drool all over me! As a mom of a rescue dog, I understand the patience and gentleness certain dogs need when anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. If your dog falls under this category and has any special needs to be comfortable please let me know ahead of time.

About: Growing up in an animal loving home, I have had the responsibility of taking care of dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, birds, turtles, mice, Guinea pigs, and an iguana. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, brush, clean, bathe, and play with their animals. I treat them as if they were my own and as if they were human. I currently work Monday to Friday 8-4:30pm and I am home on weekends. I am able to walk, feed, play, and follow potty schedules as you do in your home after work, on the weekends, or in my home for boarding. I do have owners who are ok with their dogs being in my home while I am at work but it is all about whatever you feel comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard with three house trained, dog friendly doggos. They get a walk everyday and let out as much as they need. My husband and I love to go in the backyard with them and run around or take them on adventures in the car. My dogs do sleep in our room, either in their beds or on our bed, whatever they prefer and that is the same option I will always give your dog. I can crate if needed/requested. Wally and Reed are fed three small meals a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening, but I know not everyone’s food schedule is this way. All feedings are separated from your dogs. My older dog has allergies and is given allergy medication daily as well as ear drops which makes me capable of following a medication routine. We also have a Furbo indoor camera that has all eyes on the dogs at all times and baby gates to separate large areas of our home just incase anything were to ever happen. There are times where I will be sitting other dogs as well as yours. All dogs are slowly introduced on leash in the backyard in a safe environment. I allow the dogs to take the time they need to settle in and get a feel and sense of smell of their surroundings. If an owner feels as though the stay will not work out, I am completely understanding. I would never want an owner or dog to ever feel uncomfortable in my home. If you are unsure of your dogs feelings toward other dogs, especially males, I always recommend a meet and greet in advance. I have never cared for a special needs animal, but I have taken care of very sick animals and making sure they are comfortable and accommodated for. If you have a special needs dog and are considering me, I would make all the accommodations necessary to make your pet feel right at home and comfortable.

About: Been taking care of cats since I can remember, I can administer medications brush them,trim nails, even give them a bath. If they are used to it. I currently don't work. So I'm eager to get started. I will be reliable and trustworthy with your babies. I can't wait to meet them. I will care for your pet like I would my own. Keeping them happy and safe. Cats are funny so it'll take a while for them to get used to me. All animals love me.
