Pet Sitting Carteret

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since I was little, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a loving 7-year-old Pit Bull, and being a pet parent has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, busy, or just need an extra hand. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine. I work throughout New Jersey, so I’m often able to adjust my schedule and make time to care for your pets when they need me. Whether it’s stopping by for a visit, feeding, playtime, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some energy out. For check-ins, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ll also give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

“Paige was AWESOME!! My first time using a pet sitter & it was WAY above my expectations. I looked forward to receiving Paige’s daily updates & photos of my cats. She was sooo conscientious and kind. Extremely reliable & detailed….. she wanted to be sure she followed my instructions to the letter. Excellent!!! I’ve already re-booked her for June! Thanks Paige….. great job with my fur-babies 🥰”

About: Have had multiple dogs in my family throughout the years and have owned a dog myself for 3 years as well on my own. Loving and caring for them was absolutely the highlight of my day and I will make sure to treat your furry friend with the exact same I showed mine while you’re away! I do work a full time job in the elevator industry but, will be available on weekdays after 4:30 PM and will be available on weekends literally anytime you may need me. Just give me a shout and something can certainly be worked out! At the moment, I do not have the capability of bringing your pets home with me but can sit in your home! I can follow whatever the schedule is that you will need and can follow it to a tee while you’re away! I promise to keep your friend/s safe, happy and very content!

“McKenna did a wonderful job caring for my cats while I was on vacation. It did my heart good to see the daily check-ins and pictures of my cats enjoying her company. I will definitely choose McKenna going forward.”

“Tara was amazing !!! I have a hard time trusting people with my fur babies but upon meeting Tara I was immediately comfortable. She was so sweet , on time, and gave regular updates ! I insisted she didn’t have to clean the litter daily and she still did! I couldn’t recommend her more !!”

About: I have 2 small mixed playful and friendly dogs. I am a dog lover and truly enjoy the time I have with each dog in my care. I have a breezeway where your dog can stay and hang out. The breezeway has sliding dooos that open to a large, fully fenced backyard. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows me to have a schedule that is flexible. I am able to check in intermittently on the dog(s) during the day for potty breaks or as needed as I work close to, or around my home. I can provide medications, shots, etc as needed. I am also very flexible with the dogs in my care and provide attention and love each one as if he or she was my own fur baby. I et them sleep on my furniture or bed if that is what they like. My home will be a safe and comfortable haven for your furry child(ren). And you can relax while on vacation. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows flexibility and I am able to do drop ins as needed. I can also pick up and drop off dogs if requested. I have a large fenced backyard and 2 friendly dogs who will keep your fur child(ren) company. I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need.

About: Hi! My name's Mike I've grown up with dogs all my life - parents had a small Maltese, and all my close friends had dogs of all sizes - which I was known to be the designated voluntary caretaker for. I helped raise 2 wonderful blue nose Pitbulls, a French Bulldog, a Golden, a short haired Chihuahua, and 2 German Shepards before I even started college. You should hire me for my ability to properly care for a dog, and my undivided attention. No feeding from the hand, no jumping on strangers, rewarding good behavior (not barking at the door, sitting before food, etc.). You can rest assured that your fluffy bundle of joy will be the center of my attention at all times, and I will always be encouraging good behavior to the extent of the current training of your pet!! I currently live in a large home with no family members or pets, so there's plenty of space for you pet to explore. No trash or clutter on the floor, no dust, no smoke, no sharp objects, nothing in the house that contains typical pet allergies (but please let me know if there are specifics!) Hope to meet some wonderful pets!!
