Dog Sitting in Fair Haven

About: I'm an experienced, caring, and playful sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a running buddy or a gentle hand for a drop-in visit, I'm here to offer reliable, attentive, and fun care tailored to their unique needs. 🐶 About My Dog Experience With over 13 years of hands-on experience, I've proudly been a dog parent to two wonderful, high-energy Lab mixes—so I truly understand the dedication it takes to manage and love energetic breeds! Beyond my own dogs, I have walked and cared for countless friends' dogs, ranging from playful puppies needing potty breaks to gentle seniors requiring specialized attention. I am adept at handling everything from basic training reinforcement to complex walks and am ready to welcome your beloved dog into my care. 🌟 Why Choose Me? (The Energy Advantage!) The High-Energy Expert: Training for a half marathon means I have miles to burn! If you have a high-octane dog that needs a serious run (not just a walk), I'm your girl. I love giving dogs the focused exercise they need to be happy and well-behaved at home. Experience & Trust: With a background spanning over a decade, I bring a calm, knowledgeable presence. You can trust that I will treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care, ensuring their routine is maintained and their safety is always the top priority. Playful & Caring: I believe dog care should be fun! I prioritize not just exercise, but also playtime and cuddles, ensuring your dog feels loved and mentally stimulated while you're away. Services Offered 🏡 House Sitting (Your Home, Their Comfort) I stay in your home, providing around-the-clock companionship and care. This is perfect for dogs who thrive in their own environment. I manage feeding, medications, playtime, walks, and make sure they feel safe and loved until your return. 🚶 Dog Walking (Customized Exercise) From a brisk 30-minute neighborhood walk to a high-intensity run for the athletic pup, I offer personalized exercise designed to match your dog's specific needs and stamina. ⏱️ Drop-In Visits (Quick & Comprehensive) Ideal for quick check-ins, potty breaks, feeding, and a little playtime/snuggle time. I make sure their basic needs are met and they get a happy human interaction to break up their day. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and becoming their trusted caregiver! I work from home so have flexibility to work from anywhere and stop to play/walk/feed/etc. whenever is needed! I run my own consulting business so my hours are my own to build around what is needed and can flex on any given day. I am a loving pet parent myself and will treat your dog just like my own with lots of cuddles, pets and playtime. If they just need someone to be near, I can stay in your home for most of the day and try to keep life as normal for them as possible while you're away. If they crave socialization, I can also bring to play with my 2 year old lab in our fenced in yard, as needed/wanted.

About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of high maintenance and loving animals. I cannot wait to meet your favorite member of your family! I am currently working mostly remote and my schedule is very flexible. I am a very active person so I am looking for a companion to accompany me on my walks. I will treat your pet like it is my own (with lots of love). Please inform me of any medical, safety, or any other concerns.

About: My family has owned and cared for animals since I was born. You can say my family and I are animal lovers through and through. Whether it was my first poodle, my wife's rat, yes a rat(Humphrey was his name and she loooooved him), our neighbors goats, or our current duo(Terrier mix and Shichon) we are not complete unless we have a four legged friend or two to take care of. We pride ourselves on the treatment of our family members. We look forward to sharing the love we foster in our home with your loved ones. I work remote during the day and have the ability to plan walks, drop-ins or day sitting. My household is up early and nods of late. Hopefully we can be a good fit. Regardless of location playing fetch, going for a walk or just providing a good scratch on the belly or behind the ear should be expected. I understand the importance of the timeliness of meals, meds, bathroom breaks and exercise take those instructions seriously.

About: Since I was 10 years old, I’ve always had a dog in my life. I love animals so much and I offer nothing but affection and care. I love cuddling with them too if they’re open to it. I’m in sales so I do work from home a lot. When I leave my house, it’s for a maximum of four hours. If you have a dog that is shy, I have a separate room for him/her. I have a 10 pound Shih Tzu living in our home. I adore him and he’s very friendly but if your dog does not like other dogs, it’s not a problem to keep them separate. I usually keep my dog on the main floor of the townhome. He has full access to the whole floor. If your dog is shy, I have a spare room on the lower level that the dog can stay in solo with a couch, dog bed, crate, and toys. I will only take 1 household at a time (2 dogs max) to ensure that your pup gets plenty of individual attention.

About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping with family animals, including feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care. Love nothing more! I’m working part time, so I have plenty of time to be with the pups! Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday are my most available days! No times are an issue with me! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe environment at all times. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, energy levels, and surroundings to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of each owner’s instructions and home, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I had taken care of my dog for around 16 years, until she passed in December 2025. I miss her dearly and would love to pour my love for dogs into your loving pet🥰 I have a pretty flexible work schedule as long as I know ahead of time, as I drive around frequently for work! I typically work M-F from ~8 to 4 depending on the day; some times starting later in the day or ending earlier in the day. I am willing to work with your schedule! I will love your animal as if it were my own. I am really excited to take on this task! I have always been mature for my age, and the “mom” of any group I happen to be in. I am known as the dependable friend and very trustworthy with all my relationships.

“We are really happy to have chosen Samantha as our pet sitter! She is very kind and calm natured. She gave Toby his medicine daily while we were away and that allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing we have someone we can depend on to care for him! We are so grateful!”

About: I absolutely love what I do. I’m a certified dog trainer specializing in anything fearful. I train puppies. I take care of many different kinds of pets and I truly love what I do. I’ve just moved to red bank and I love it so I’m not working now. I look forward to meeting your fur babie and getting to know them. I live in an apartment with a roommate and my senior dog . So it’s not ideal here. I mainly take care of your fur babies in your home.

“Caroline did a great job taking care of our cat. She can be a little sassy but Caroline did a great job handling her. She was able to send us photos and updates and answered promptly, which put my mind at ease when we were traveling.”

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins

About: I have two pets of my own and take care of them all of the time. They are my world and are just as important as myself. I am very available and will have plenty of time to take care of your animals! They are my priority and need care as much as humans do! I am okay with any home and I am very respectful of them! I would love supplies provided for your pets to care for them.

“Trixie is opening right up to Leigh! She's normally very reserved around new people. It's so great that she's so chatty so quickly—it's a very positive sign. :)”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while away. As a nurse, I’m responsible, attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented, so your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and lots of love while you’re gone I’m an OR nurse with a flexible schedule outside of work and love spending my free time with animals. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting on many weekdays and weekends, and I’m always communicative and reliable when coordinating care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, walks, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Lots of updates and photos included 😊

About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.

“Jennifer is our first walker for our very co-dependent pandemic pup, and she made the whole experience effortless and comfortable. Looking forward to leaving our pup in her care again soon!”

About: I am a long-time pet sitter with experience with both dogs and cats, puppies and elder dog care, and medication administration. I am patient, responsible, and playful, with extensive experience with overnight stays and dogs of all sizes. I aim to earn and keep the trust of every animal I care for and make them feel safe and loved. I am a student with a personal client list of pets that I care for and am always clear on my time commitments to ensure the pets I visit have my dedicated attention and their owners feel safe. I am an early riser that keeps a clean and safe environment for your pet. I ensure that I stick to the pet’s schedule as per the owner’s instructions and provide timely feedings, walks, and of course, cuddles and playtime.

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

About: In all my 22 years of life, I have always had a dog and have assisted in feeding, bathing, and walking the dogs I’ve had. I’ve always been an animal person even considered becoming a vet at one point. Whenever I am at someone’s home, you can find me hanging out with their pet wether it’s a dog or cat or even a snake! In addition to walks on ROVER I make and sell custom stickers. Pet stickers are especially popular and my Etsy is ShopMomentsFromMichi I currently have a flexible schedule, please reach out to me a week in advance, so I can fit your pup into that schedule!! I do 20 hours of volunteer work a week and babysit, I plan each weeks work days/ volunteering days about a week in advance and would love to add your precious pet into that mix! I am looking to do dog walking and dropping in! I am open to taking your dog for a leashed walk around the neighborhood or drive them to a fenced in dog park if you’re comfortable with it!! Whenever I walk a dog I always bring myself and the dog water to keep us safe and hydrated.

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve helped train my mom’s two current dogs. I help my sister take care of her cat when I visit her. I’m excited to help others take care of their furry friends! I work remote full-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. Unfortunately my rental does not allow pets, so I cannot have any overnight. But on a case by case basis I can stay at the owners house with pet(s) if needed, or make multiple stops during the day and before bed time. I can take your pet for walks, play fetch with them, feed them, and more. Whatever is needed while you’re gone throughout the day or overnight within reason!

About: I’ve become the go-to person among my friends for pets that need extra care or have specific routines. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s normal schedule. As a dog owner myself, I truly empathize with how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize clear, thoughtful communication—keeping you updated and reassured, while also giving you peace of mind to enjoy your time away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekday and weekend afternoons, and I truly enjoy being around dogs. 😊 I’m very mindful and respectful of a dog’s home environment and personal space. I take my time building trust and focus on creating a calm, safe presence so they feel comfortable and secure.
