House Sitting Fair Haven

About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a student analyst in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!

About: If you're like me, pets are an extension of your family, so I understand how much trust goes into having a stranger care for your dogs and cats. With over 10 years of experience, I've handled everything from cleaning and giving medication to daily feeding routines and enriching playtime. Cats and dogs, all sizes and ages, are welcome. I can't wait to meet your furry family member(s). I recently graduated with my Master's degree. I'm enjoying my time off, and saving up for an apartment while job searching, so I am available all, day everyday. I provide care at your home, following your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that entails feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any medications. I make sure to keep their environment safe and secure (checking doors/gates/fences) and am more than happy to send updates or photos to you at your request so you know how your pet(s) are while you're away.

“Our dogs LOVE Samantha! They were so excited to see her and spend time with her. She stayed at our house for 2 nights and made sure the dogs were safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!”

“Kelsey was on time and kept my dog entertained and happy. She gave him his medication. My house was exactly as I left it. I would recommend Kelsey.”

About: I love dogs! I used to own a professionally trained service dog and I still follow all the correct service animal commands when interacting with dogs. I also assisted in the birth of her 3 puppies which I raised for 12 weeks. I’ve walked and cared for both male and female dogs, from chihuahuas to black labs. I have toys, bowls, and a bed for them already in my home — and they’re always allowed on the furniture. Can’t wait to meet your fur-baby! I work on short cruise ship contracts so when I’m home, I’m REALLY home with nothing else going on. I like going for 45-min neighborhood walks on my own and would love to have some four-legged companionship. I wake up early and go to bed around 10:30pm. I don’t drink or smoke so I am always 100% mentally clear. I live with my mom in a large suburban home with a beautiful yard on a dead-end street and plenty of low-traffic streets to walk your dog around. There are no other animals and no children in the home.

“If you are looking for a trustworthy and exceptional pet sitter, hire Nicole! She stayed at our house for 12 days to look after our dog, and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. Leaving your pet can be stressful, but Nicole constantly updated us with multiple photographs throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind about our dog's well-being. Our baby was incredibly safe, happy, and content when we returned. Not only did she provide top-tier care for our dog, but she also left our entire home spotless. Nicole is professional, responsible, and a true gem. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Went away for a week. Maximilian puts the effort in to make our pups feel comfortable. He also communicates well and is quick to respond where needed. No complaints here, will book again.”

About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.

About: I really adore making connections with animals. I’ve looked after friends and family’s pets many times, whether I dropped in to give some pets and treats or stayed a few nights to keep them company. Apart from my own cat Jade, there’s lots of strays in the area that my neighbors and I help feed and look after. I also live very close to the SPCA in case of emergencies. I love being active and having an excuse to take a walk or play with your loved ones. I work an 8am-4pm office job. I work from home every Thursday, and am off Saturdays and Sundays. Would be able to stop by after work, spend nights, go on walks and to parks, or just to chill and give your pet some company while you’re away! I’m very careful about having scraps and trash cleaned up to avoid any eating or swallowing. I don’t keep many hazardous plants or products in my home. I have many soft spaces for dogs or cats to lay or hide, very calm and quiet in the home and neighborhood as well. I’m always giving my cat attention, and check up on her paws, teeth, ears, and normal behavior every day to make sure she’s okay

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! Looking for some pets to take care of in the Monmouth County area. I am a college student at Monmouth University but I am looking to help out any fur babies in my free time. I finished up my 4th season of soccer with Monmouth University and now with my added free time I would like to help out anyone in need. I live in a welcoming home with a lot of girls who love all types of animals. I am willing to make any accommodations to make your pets feel safe!

“Vanessa, thank you so, so much for taking great care of our pup. This was our first long time away from him and we’re as happy to see him as he is to see us. Thanks for all the great communication along the way.”

About: I have owned animals since the day I was born. My family even breed dogs for years. So I have trained and taken care of animals since forever. I know how to administer medications, eye drops, basic grooming, etc! Since I am a full time college student, my schedule is definitely slightly more tight. But just talk with me and I’m sure I can figure out times and everything so it all works out! In my clients home I will ensure the animal receives all the care and love it needs. I will do everything in my power to make sure the animal is comfortable.

About: My name is Brooke, I am an 22 year old attending Monmouth University in the fall and I have experience with a variety of pets throughout the years. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat that I care for daily. I will treat your pets as my own and am comfortable with a variety of behaviors, species, and needs. I look forward to caring for your pet! I have plenty of time to care for your pet this summer as I have an open schedule before school starts in the fall. I am flexible with dates and times. I am comfortable dealing with a variety of environments and needs for your pet. Please let me know any requests or concerns you have for your pets behaviors or needs!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve done all the chores that come with them. I’ve had a big dog and a little dog almost my entire life. My big dog is now older, so I have to help him with his arthritis. I’ve had to pick up poop, feed them, walk them, and massage him. I don’t have a job currently, so I’m free for anyone’s convenience! Besides when I have to go to the gym, or when im on vacation. I have a fenced yard and a specific place for them to use the bathroom outside, and also have a pee pee pad inside that I switch out twice a day.

“Caroline did a great job watching my puppy Winston while I was at work. It was so nice knowing he was so well cared for. The pictures were so great to receive. Thanks again for taking such great care of him. I would definitely book with Caroline again!”

Lauren N.

“I’m glad we found Laurel. She took great care of our Gipper. Giving medication to a cat isn’t easy, but it seemed the two bonded right away and Gipper received great care. We look forward to Laurel taking care of our little ones in the future!”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

About: I've always had a huge love for dogs, and with years of hands-on experience, I've had the opportunity to care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I spent four years at Pet Supplies Plus as a dog bather, where I learned firsthand the patience and dedication that go into caring for dogs. I've also worked with dogs who prefer their personal space, dogs who may be shy or hesitant around other dogs, and senior dogs or dogs with mobility issues who need a little extra help, including getting up and down stairs. As a Clinical Mental Health Counseling master's student, I bring a unique level of patience, attentiveness, and understanding to the care I provide. I believe every dog deserves to have their individual needs and personality respected, whether that means endless cuddles and playtime or giving them the space and comfort they need. I'm happy to meet each dog where they're at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also love sending plenty of pictures and updates so you never have to worry while you're away! I make it a priority to create a dedicated schedule for you and your pets that works around their individual needs, including meals, walks, playtime, and overnight care. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week. As a graduate student, I do have some classes and internship commitments, but I am able to plan around those to ensure your pets receive plenty of attention and care. I have the most flexibility on weekends and love to spend the entire day with your pets. I am also available for overnights and will have even more flexibility during school breaks, including winter break. I will even put together a written schedule outlining feeding times, walks, playtime, and when I will be with your pets, so you know exactly what their routine will look like while they are in my care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while keeping their routine as consistent as possible! I always prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you and your pet, learn their routine, and understand your preferences. I want your pet to feel comfortable and familiar with me before you leave. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with mobility challenges or health conditions, and accidents or unexpected messes are never a problem! I pay close attention to changes in behavior or signs that something may be wrong so I can recognize when a pet might need additional or emergency care. During longer stays and overnights, I love having a new study buddy and making sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I prioritize their health and safety, including being mindful of their surroundings and other animals during walks. I also send plenty of pictures and updates so you always know how your pet is doing! I make sure to leave your home neat and tidy, clean up after your pet, and vacuum when needed so you can come home to a happy pet and a tidy space!

“Anahi was great with taking care of our pup and cat. They were quick, friendly and professional from start to finish. Our pup, Frankie requires extra attention and Anahi handled everything great and updated us during the sit.”

“I highly recommend Andrea! She took excellent care of my puppy Murphy while I worked. She responded immediately to all of my text messages and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day. I felt very comfortable leaving Murphy with her Knowing that she would take good care of him.”
