Pet Sitting in Forked River

“Jen is a member of our fam now. Since we moved to the Jersey shore I have not let anyone else watch the fur babies. She’s so sweet and loving. She treats them so well and sends the best updates and pics. If she couldn’t watch them if we had to go somewhere, we honestly wouldn’t go.”

“I'm so glad we chose Melissa to care for our cat Jake while we were away. She filled out his report card every day and she always kept us in the loop,a long with daily pictures. We will be using Melissa again in the future. Jake seemed very content when we got home.”

“Emily was WONDERFUL with our three dogs. She is responsible and a great communicator. She sent pictures from each visit. Our pups loved spending time with her. We’d definitely use her again.”

About: Ever since I was little I have been taking care of many animals. I grew up with a cat, and my family adopted a dog five years ago that I helped train! Aside from that, I’ve had chickens, goats, and ducks! I’m a recent college graduate working retail shifts typically at night. I have a flexible schedule and if needed can change things around in order to take care of your pet. Understanding that my presence is different in the pets home, I prioritize making sure they are comfortable with me there and not scared. I aim to make sure they are taken care of and not stressed out in their own home.

“Madelyn provided outstanding care for my 2 year-old pup. She took her on walks, made sure her water & food bowls were cleaned and refilled, and gave her a lot of love and attention in my absence. She is responsible and trustworthy and I highly recommend her.”

“Nicoletta is such a kind, sweet dog lover. Sent me pictures and kept me posted about my little guy while we were away! Thanks for a stress free weekend?”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.

“"Christina was absolutely wonderful! Floyd was so well cared for and clearly soaked up every bit of attention he received. The thoughtful photos and updates Christina shared really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing Floyd was in such kind hands!"”

“Daisy did a great job caring for my cat when I was away. He’s a big scaredy cat, but warmed up to her fairly quickly. I would hire her again!”

“Sarah was wonderful. Our two girls took to her from the first meeting. Our Mollie has a bit of anxiety but she instantly showed her affection. Thank you Sarah- You are on our list.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, not only my own but friends and family as well, through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. My long-term goal is to become a veterinarian, and I’m currently training to become a veterinary assistant/tech while continuing my education in animal medicine. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, not just a side job. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy pets, and multi-pet households. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I work at a veterinary clinic around 4-5 days a week, with most days being pretty flexible hours. I’m available for walks, drop in’s and house sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for pets. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With my veterinary assistant training and future career goals in veterinary medicine, I pay close attention to animal behavior, health, routines, and stress levels. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and handling pets calmly and patiently. I will always treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care.

About: Been taking care of cats since I can remember, I can administer medications brush them,trim nails, even give them a bath. If they are used to it. I currently don't work. So I'm eager to get started. I will be reliable and trustworthy with your babies. I can't wait to meet them. I will care for your pet like I would my own. Keeping them happy and safe. Cats are funny so it'll take a while for them to get used to me. All animals love me.

About: Hello! I have been loving and caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I am a certified NJ teacher, but unfortunately have had to leave the classroom due to various medical conditions. I taught middle and high school English and coached girls soccer & basketball. While I can no longer teach full-time, I still love being in a caregiver role, especially with animals. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets in a comprehensive manner for two decades now. I would be honored to help care for your pet(s) like they’re my family. I hope to give you peace of mind whether you’re away, at work, or just in need of an extra set of loving hands. I’m more than happy to do meet & greets beforehand. Because I can no longer work full time due to my medical conditions, I am available weekdays and weekends, including holidays! I am comfortable doing feedings, walks (including to parks if allowed by owner), medication administration, baths, litter boxes, and of course lots of snuggling. I am very detail-oriented and I live by “leave every place you go better than how you found it.” I respect clients’ spaces and privacy. I love to help with anything I can while staying in your home, as long as clients feel comfortable with that. I have a calm, empathetic demeanor that animals seem drawn to. Think of me as Aunt Meg to your pets—your favorite fun aunt who’s coming to watch/help out as family. I can only do overnights in non-smoking homes.

About: I am an animal lover.I have every animal’s best interest at heart.I am truly dedicated and devoted to make sure your pets needs are met. I am involved in non profit animal rescue and complete animal volunteer work. I am currently growing my pet care business. I do my best to accommodate all pets schedules and needs. It is important to me that your pet stays on a routine schedule during my time of caring for your pet. This is a full time buisness and would welcome to add your pet to my schedule. I will care for your pet in your home by following the instructions that are directed. I believe it is very important to keep your pet on its routine schedule as much as allows while I am caring for your pet. I make it a point to be very careful and make sure all situations are safe for your pet.

About: I was a veterinary technician for years and I just love and adore animals. I can administer medication if needed, and give a lot of love to your pets. I currently work part time at a restaurant in the evenings so I am free all day. I can also come by after work if needed. I currently cannot care for pets in my own home because I have a dog who is not accepting of other animals in her home.

About: Beyond walks: I offer expert care for your dog, day and night! I offer tailored adventures and stress-free overnights, ensuring a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pup. My part-time employment allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for your dogs. I offer boarding services and walks through our the week and weekends! I prioritize your dog's safety and comfort above all else. My property features a fully fenced yard for playtime and fun, plus lots of love.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

About: I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy with personalized routines, play time and plenty of love while you’re away. 15+ years of experience of pet sitting/pet owner. I have assisted in whelping puppies and care for my own dog with multiple health issues. I work a typical 8:30-4:30 job in the Ocean and Monmouth county area. But I am flexible with work from home, or traveling for drop in visits. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running, frolicking and playing. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and schedules all while providing endless love! I am comfortable with administering medication if necessary.

“This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!”
