Dog Sitting in Budd Lake

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, cats, and neighbors dogs for the entirety of my life. I love animals and have been around them constantly! I’m currently working full time. Weekends work best or later in weekdays. Weekends are completely available and weekdays would need to be scheduled past 5. I’m very comfortable and familiar with dog care and all different types of pets. I’m able to accommodate to any different type of setting and any type of dog

About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: Take the trip, make the memories, we will spoil your dog. Dogs have been part of our family ever since we were little. I couldn't imagine our home without the dogs that have been part of our lives growing up. My parents have always been heavily involved in animal rescue and volunteer/run a shelter near their home. Every pet has their own personality, their own story to tell - and we just love to be a part of their lives. We work from home so we're always here to take the pooches in the yard or for a nice walk at the large park right next-door to our home so there's plenty of space for them to get out and play. We have a fenced in yard, so your pup can enjoy being outside with a little bit of freedom. We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet. Our kids love to play with the dogs outside, so you can count on extra love and plenty of fun. Our pup, Haley, passed this winter after 14 wonderful year of being a part of our family and we'll be sure to treat your dog like they are as well. My husband works from home, so he is always here to play & let the dogs out and loves the extra company here in his office. We have a nice big fenced in yard, so plenty of space to run around or just enjoy the sunshine for a bit. We're also right next to a nice park, perfect for our walks. We have extra dog beds and plenty of toys because we always want the pooches to be comfy and have lots of fun.

“My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care.
