Dog Sitting Blackwood

About: Hi! I’m Shani, an attentive, responsible and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have a professional background in supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. I bring patience and strong communication skills to each job. I have experience coordinating and managing schedules. I ensure the well-being of those in my care. I am naturally skilled at providing safe, structured, and loving care for dogs, cats and other pets. I’m detail-oriented, and comfortable handling routines, while still being laid-back. I am confident I can handle you and your pet's needs - whether that means consistent walks, feeding schedules, or special instructions. I also work one-on-one with clients, giving me the ability to read behavior, adapt quickly, and personalize the relevant kind of attention—which is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’m calm under pressure, and committed to creating a positive, stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, companionship during the day, or attentive overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own—with kindness, respect, and affection. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet. I mostly work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I enjoy my play time with my furry buddies or walks outside as an enjoyable part of my day. I have room indoors and outdoors for playing, a big fenced grassy backyard and a quiet neighborhood to explore for our walks. I can host pets at my house or come visit them at yours.

About: Greetings pet pawrents!! My name is Rin I’m a Jersey local dog handler and trainer! My son Goku, local dogs, and dogs at work experience (dog hotels, walking, training, boarding) are motive to keep doing what I do. Dog handling is care out of love. Luci and Goku are my dear children that I revolve my daily routine around. Working at a pet hotel, babysitting for friends and neighbors who have pets, dog walking, dog training, animal bathing, and pet check-ins. Are all apart of my daily life! Caring and nurturing animals everyday are just steps towards my dreams of being an exotic vet. my dog loves other dogs especially since he goes to work with me and hangs out with dogs! If I came to a clients home and they preferred it private my dog would stay home with my roommates.

About: Long day of work or play? Don't let your dog get lonely, cooped up, or risk having an accident! Let them stretch their legs for a while with someone who is passionate about animal welfare. I am well-versed in both senior dogs and puppies, dogs with allergies and special needs, and leash training. Please me know if you are working on special commands, if your dog has any allergies or is on medications. Feel free to negotiate longer visits. About this sitter: Jordi is a big-time animal lover. From her family dogs to her pet hedgehog Wesley, she loves spending as much time as possible around animals as well as learning about exotic ones. She is an active volunteer at local shelters, creating enrichment activities and taking dogs for long walks. I'm currently unemployed in this disaster of a job market. While seeking full-time employment I am home 100% or at the local animal shelter volunteering. Whether it's couch cuddling, playing tug or fetch, games to give them mental stimulation, long walks, or socializing with other dogs, I am happy to follow your requests based on your dog's individual needs and preferences.

About: My name is Rashad I am a 32 year old who has always had a strong love for pets. I am local to the Blackwood area but I will travel to care for your animals personally. I have personally owned 3 dogs, a Weimaraner named Bella, pitbull terrier mix named Jay and a toy sized Yorkshire terrier named Chloe. Unfortunately I am no longer a pet owner but I still I hope to be able to watch over some other furry companions to fill the void that has been made by their absence. I have experience as a manager at Petco so not only do I know how to care for dogs, I am well versed in the basic needs for most reptiles, birds, cats, and other small animals.I have no problem accepting pets that are not spayed or neutered for some reason rover won’t let me change that setting on my profile, so please disregard. I hope to share my affinity for pets with other pet parents while they allow me to host their fur children and look forward to yet again feeling the comfort of a four legged friend in my home. I work a rotating schedule with 12 hour shifts at a healthcare facility. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date but I am flexible so I do encourage you to reach out to me directly with an inquiries about dates and times I am available. I’m typically available early mornings and in the evening on the days I’m working but on my off days I am ready to be an all day companion for your furry friend! I have many years experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breed. I know how important it is to provide a safe and friendly environment to our four legged friends. I always try and approach any arrangement with both the owners and pets best interest in mind. I look forward to crafting a safe and trustworthy environment for your furever friends.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, and I have raised two dogs myself along with my wife. I’ve also watched plenty of friends pets while they are out of town I work remote, so I often have free gaps throughout the day when I can take my dogs on walks or stop by for a visit. I have two incredibly friendly golden retrievers, but there is also plenty of space in my house along with a yard in case pets need space.

About: NOTE: My calendar isn't a stone tablet! Reach out anyway! I'm very flexible! ***Want to see more? I post K9 concierge videos on my Nextdoor profile, so head on over and check it out! *** I'm a confident, knowledgeable dog mom that will only provide the best care with safe, enjoyable walks for your dog! Since I was very young, my family has owned a variety of dog breeds. For the past 5 years, upon adopting my own Staffordshire Terrier named Nya from my local animal shelter, I have deeply fallen in love with all dogs and have learned so much about what it means to be a responsible dog owner. Seeing the benefits of consistent training, accommodating behavioral, health/allergy needs, and learning what makes the happiest, well-behaved, furry members of the family has been such a beautiful, rewarding experience I would love to share with the dogs and owners in my community. I love taking walks around my neighborhood and greeting all the dogs on my path. I know without a doubt, I will quickly become their second-best friend! I'm available for walks on most days between 9am and 8pm, but I'd be happy to work with an owner and accommodate a different time. In your home, I'll play with them, provide opportunities for enrichment to entertain them and make them think, go for a good walk, and whatever else you'd like me to do to get the most out of our time together!

“Donovan was an absolute pleasure to have! He cared for all three of my dogs at once, and trust me—they’re a handful with their different personalities. Somehow, he made it all look like a breeze while I was away on my trip. He went above and beyond, even sending me picture updates that gave me peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable in his care, which means the world to me. I’ll definitely be requesting him again for my future vacations. Thank you so much, Donovan!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and working closely with a Boxer, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding a dog’s unique personality and energy. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve also owned and cared for cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different pet needs and behaviors. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy building trust with them, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s an energetic walk or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also have volunteer experience with a local animal rescue and even fostered and homed 5 different cats. I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime, Monday through Friday, to accommodate your pet’s needs—whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended sitting. I also offer availability on select weekends with advance notice, so I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care you can count on whenever you need it. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect by carefully following all instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I stay attentive to each pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe and stress-free. I treat every home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to create a calm, reliable experience so both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi! I am a full time biology teacher who has her weeknights, weekends and summers off to hang with your fur babies 🐾 While I was getting my teaching degree, I worked part time at Petsmart in the pet care department where I gained valuable knowledge for the needs and wants of pets. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog and 3 Torti cats ages 8-11. I have always had dogs and cats growing up of all sizes so no fur baby is too small or too large for some cuddles! I have also had some not so common pets like hamsters, fish (fresh and saltwater), frogs, turtles and even an Eyelash Crested Gecko! Being a teacher I have learned how to be compassionate, caring and unbiased and I carry these traits into my pet services too! All fur babies deserve to be loved and cared for with the utmost respect and compassion. My fur babies mean the world to me so I will always make sure your fur babies are cared for how I would want my fur babies cared for when mom is not around. I hope you don’t mind me spamming you with cute pictures of your furry loved ones while I am hanging out with them. I believe you can never have too many pictures to capture all of the silliest moments with your “fur”ever family members 🐾 During the school year, Sept - Early June, I can work weeknights after 4 and weekends all day. For the summer months I can work Late June - August any time frame. 🗓️ I am cautious about making sure all doors are locked and fences are locked so no fur babies can make a jailbreak. I am well versed in using different types of harnesses and how to correctly apply them. I always make sure to bring a portable water dish just incase your fur baby needs a drink mid-walk and I make sure to thoroughly clean it between each use. I require to have an emergency contact person in case of an emergency and would like to know what vet/emergency vet you prefer. A meet and greet with you and your fur baby is always the best way to start a fun and safe relationship!

She came by our house everyday and made sure our two cats Ozzie and Dude were feed, clean and happy. We even received pictures. I would use and recommend Shannon’s services again . She was awesome ! Thanks again Shannon!”

“Haleigh was so awesome in Cari g for ALL 3 of my babies! She is a god send. I have never used this app before and was skeptical at first but she eased all of my worries and concerns. She checked in with me multiple times and sent me videos and pics of my babies and took care of them as if they were her own. Will definitely be a returning customer and recommend her without any hesitation! Thanks again Haleigh🫶🏻🥰”
