House Sitting Bayville

“Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!”

About: Ive cared for my own pets and many friends pets mainly dogs throughout my life. From puppies to senior dogs. Never met one I didnt love. I run my own small planning firm so my schedule is very flexible. I am available during the week day or night for walks and pet care. I am happy to come to your home and play with your fur baby and also attend to any of his or her needs, feeding walking petting medication.

“Sheli, went above and beyond to take care of my two Boxers pups on such a short notice. She house sat for 6 days and sent updates throughout the stay which made my vacation less stressful. Would 100 percent recommend for house/dog sitting, and would use her services again! Thank you again.”

“Jennifer was great! Our little girl, Dash, recently got spayed and we needed someone to watch her for one night who could keep her calm and happy. Dash was immediately comfortable with Jennifer and we received lots of pics and updates. Would def recommend!”

“First off, let me say from a very anxious dog mama to leave her babies, Rover made this entire experience seamless and very professional. Kasper was a godsend. Kasper took the time to meet my dogs prior to the booking. Kasper took every concern I had and made sure it was addressed. Not only did Kasper communicate through the whole booking, I received pictures upon pictures of my dogs. There was not one point in my time away when I didn’t know what was happening at my home and felt 100% secure. Kasper was beyond kind and loving to my dogs and I will definitely be using Kasper again. Anybody that needs someone to come and stay with your dogs in your own home, Kasper‘s the best. 150% satisfied and 200% endorse booking with Kasper!!”

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been one of the greatest joys in my life. I have been an avid dog lover my entire life and have been fortunate to raise and adopt several wonderful dogs throughout my journey. Every dog I’ve had has taught me something special, and I truly believe our pets are cherished members of the family. My life has taken me from the beautiful Pacific Northwest to spending 20 years in the California desert, and now I’m excited to call the Toms River, New Jersey area home. One of my favorite things about living here is enjoying the incredible wildlife and beautiful scenery on long walks. I currently share my home with two senior rescue dogs who absolutely love their daily walks. Caring for senior dogs has given me experience with patience, gentle handling, and understanding that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a dependable sitter while you’re away, plenty of cuddles and companionship, or an enjoyable walk filled with fresh air and new sights, I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own dogs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy—and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and look forward to making lots of new four-legged friends here in the Toms River community! I work remotely and can tailor my schedule around other commitments easily. It is not a problem for me to leave my work for a few hours to tend to a pets needs. I am highly responsible and will watch over your fur baby as I watch over my own. I have never had a lost pet or had a pet escape my presence. I have completed dog training courses and know how to responsibly handle a pet.

“Tim was amazing!! It was our first time using a sitter and I couldn’t be happier! Definitely would use him again. I did not have to worry about my pups at all! Thank you Tim!! You are truly appreciated!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. As well, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was in charge of feeding all of the dogs and letting them out to go the bathroom. The dogs ranged in ages from puppies all the way up to senior dogs which needed assistance in getting up to start walking. There is no dog too young or too old for me. I will embrace and love your best friend like they are my own! We will go for walks and play every night to make sure your best friends does not miss you too much! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. Let’s have a barking good time together!

“Amazing sitter! This was our first time having Veronica sit with them and our babies loved her. She was very attentive and communicative all day, sending pictures and updates on one of our older girls who has an injury currently. We absolutely would use her again and recommend her highly!”

About: I’ve recently moved to NJ about two years ago. Prior to moving here, I have walked many many dogs including Great Danes, Samoyed, German Shepherds, Yorkies, etc. On occasion I would cat sit my friend’s cats whenever they go on vacation. I love ALL kinds of animals, but do the best when they’re friendly to humans. Im high energy and like to be out going, so I do prefer dogs with lots of energy to play, walk, or run with! I’m a college student working part time over the summer. Despite that, my job is very flexible and I can move things around to fit whatever works best for you. My Saturday & Sunday are busy from 4pm-11pm and my Mondays and Thursday are busy from 11am-10pm, but I can move things around if needed. I only ask that I would get a week in advance notice! I absolutely love playing with animals. I’m high energy myself and seeing any animals happy makes my heart melt. I would take probably hundreds of photos of the fur balls! I work best with animals that are already tamed or don’t bite. I’m also very good with following any type of instructions and would ask questions to sort out any concerns prior to pet sitting.

“I cannot recommend Bryan highly enough! He cared for my two dogs, including my elderly dog with special needs, for ten days and did an exceptional job. My older dog requires extra attention and patience, and Bryan handled everything with kindness and professionalism. He kept me updated regularly, followed all care instructions, and made sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely book him again in the future!”

About: Ive taken care of people's pets while they were away. I even stayed at their house. I am trustworthy and reliable when it comes to taking care of people's pets. I'll make sure the animals are well taken care of especially pets that are older. I currently work full time at a nursing home kitchen as a dietary aide. I usually work 6-2. Tuesdays I work 10-7:30. The only days I am off are Thursdays and Sundays. So anything after 3 is fine and Thursdays I am available all day. I will care for your pets with love and affection. I will walk your dogs and feed them. I will also play with them to get a feel of how they interact. As for cats I will feed them and play with them as well. I enjoy rewarding them with treats.

“Rita was an amazing cat sitter! She provided regular updates and photos of our fur baby. Our house was in great condition when we returned. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be booking with Rita again :)”

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.
