Cat Sitting Fort Hancock

“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. :)”

“Great experience. Our dogs are not the easiest to handle and max did an amazing job. This was one of the longest trips we have been on away from our pups, and they were in great hands. Would book again!”

“Olivia has been great with my goldendoodle. She helps my out a few times a week while I am at work. I don’t trust many people with my baby and I trust her! Not only am I happy with her but my girl LOVES her. It is a great feeling knowing that your dog is in good hands. It is such a relief to have found her to help me out.”

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.

As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and used to adapting to individual needs. During your pet’s stay, you can expect plenty of attention, walks, games of fetch, backyard time, and, of course, lots of belly rubs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m generally available after school, evenings, weekends, and during many school breaks.

About: Hello! I worked at Dogs on The Farms Pet Hotel for almost a year and since leaving continued pet sitting and enjoying being around fur babies! I also used to volunteer at my local animal shelter as a foster parent until I failed and adopted my dog! I am currently a student and only working part time due to my schedule. I am always around and accept most dog sitting and walking gigs I get! I do not bring dogs into my own home due to my own fur baby. I have slept and transported dogs to other house and have been provided with a key. When sleeping at other houses I obey there rules and put blankets in the wash and leave the place as clean as when they left it!

About: Since the day I was born and came home I already had my furry friend that soon became my best friend for life. And he changed my life! Currently I am working part Monday. As for Tuesday to Saturday I’m here to take care of your pet(s)! I’m available in the morning starting 7AM. Request in advance for quicker response. I have a Shitzu - Poddle mix and I make sure to always take him for walks, food, entertainment, keep him happy, required vet visits and petco shopping sprees.

About: I've been an active dogsitter for nearly 15 years in the DC metro area. Specializing in older pets w/ health needs. My family has had dogs my entire life, so I have 4 decades worth of experience with dogs. Since I don't have a dog of my own (despite being my parents' dog preferred human and living with 2 King Charles Spaniels), I will treat yours like family. I'm a huge dog lover! I currently live in a house with 2 King Charles and 1 cat (acts like a dog). We have a fenced in backyard and for smaller dogs, a doggie door. For over a decade, I've been a trusted dogsitter for a handful of dogs in Washington, DC- references available upon request! Additionally, I have fostered three dogs from Laila's Legacy- 2 pitties and 1 Doberman. As a volunteer, I drove dogs to Adoption Events, served as a Handler, and helped bring pups to vet appointments. All dogs are great, especially the ones who like to snuggle. I've recently moved to New Jersey and am currently seeking full time employment. Until then, if your dog is okay with other animals, they can come stay with me or I'd be happy to dogsit in your home.

“Maribella is awesome! She is prompt, responds quickly to requests, reliable and all with her polite Southern charm. We are so happy to have found her for our Sherlock, our rescue beagle that has severe separation anxiety—not welcome when living in a condo. Mirabella calmed him down, walked him to relieve his anxiety, so when we arrived home he was happily chomping on a treat. Thanks Maribella for giving us the time to enjoy our beach yoga.”

About: UPDATE 7/1/24: We just moved to a farm off Mcclees Road in the Navesink portion of Red Bank! The farm is fenced, has a pond (also fenced), a garden, and more than enough space for the dogs to run around and just be dogs...it is quite literally a dream location for dogs. Schedule a free meet and greet today and COME CHECK OUT THE FARM! You and your pup won't be disappointed... After working for 15 years as an ad executive in NYC I've decided to pursue my passion in working with the animals I love most in this world! I have 2 medium sized rescues that are very well socialized and make for incredible play partners for dogs of all sizes. What sets us apart from other sitters is our ability to custom tailor the experience for your pet's needs! Extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, or energy demands. Very fit and physically active so especially well-suited to work with high energy breeds! I work out of a home located in an extremely safe and quiet neighborhood in Red Bank. As an owner myself, my top priority is demonstrating that your pet will be cared for, loved, and protected at all costs while under my supervision. I offer a level of professionalism, communication, and respect that other sitters on this site will struggle to match so please don't hesitate to contact us! My schedule is uniquely flexible every day of the week which allows me to cater to owner's needs regardless of the day my services are needed. I have a home with a fenced in yard in a safe and quiet part of Red Bank. There is no shortage of comfortable places for your pet to relax in my home after a day of adventure. I grew up in Fair Haven so I know all the hidden gem parks and swimming areas in Monmouth County for when weather permits. Free consultations available for owners who seek additional assurances...our pets are our family and I want you to have full confidence your family members will be cared for in your absence!

About: Animals have been a big part of my life since I was 10 years old. I grew up with a lot of cats and am currently a cat owner. I spent a lot of time caring for my grandfather's German Shepherds growing up, and later looked after dogs all sizes for the families I worked for as a nanny. Flexible on Wednesdays, Fridays and occasional weekends. I will travel to the city but at an extra cost & travel fee. I am able to watch animals at my house but it is small so I’d rather do over nights at owners place when it comes to multiple dogs. If you have a fenced in yard I’ll play fetch with them and tire them out and give them good scratches and snuggles before I leave. If you do not have a fenced in yard there are plenty of dog parks in the area.

“Excellent job, very attentive to our dog’s needs.”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my combination of experience, specialized skills, and genuine love for animals. I go beyond basic care to ensure that every pet feels safe, happy, and loved in my presence. Here’s how I stand out: 1. Customized Care for Every Pet: I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, from their favorite toys to specific feeding routines, creating a comfortable and stress-free experience tailored to their personality. 2. Specialized Skills: • Puppy Training: I have experience teaching basic commands, house training, and socialization, helping puppies develop good habits early on. • Senior Pet Care: I’m skilled in caring for older pets, including administering medications, accommodating mobility challenges, and providing extra comfort and attention. 3. Health and Safety Expertise: I’m well-versed in recognizing signs of illness or distress and am trained in basic pet first aid, so you can trust your pet’s health is in good hands. 4. Enrichment and Engagement: I prioritize mental and physical stimulation through interactive play, puzzle toys, and exercise tailored to your pet’s energy level and preferences. 5. Reliable and Trustworthy Service: I treat your home with the utmost respect and maintain open communication, providing updates and photos so you can rest assured your pet is thriving. 6. Genuine Passion for Animals: My dedication goes beyond just a job—I see pet care as a way to build a bond and make a positive impact on their lives. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, requires attentiveness, consistency, and adaptability to meet the individual needs of each animal. Here’s a breakdown of how I approach pet care in both settings: Caring for Pets in My Home: 1. Establishing a Routine: • I create a daily schedule for feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and rest, ensuring stability and comfort for my pets. • Meal times are consistent, and fresh water is always available. 2. Creating a Safe and Enriching Environment: • I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no access to harmful plants, toxic substances, or dangerous objects. • I provide toys, scratching posts, and cozy sleeping areas tailored to their preferences. 3. Health and Hygiene: • I maintain clean litter boxes or outdoor areas for bathroom needs. • Regular grooming, nail trimming, and dental care are part of the routine. • I stay vigilant for signs of illness and keep up with vaccinations, vet checkups, and preventative care. 4. Bonding and Training: • I dedicate time daily for play, affection, and positive reinforcement training to build trust and strengthen our bond. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize the well-being, happiness, and health of the animals I care for. Here’s how it fits into my schedule: in the morning i start off by Feeding: I start the day by preparing fresh meals according to the pet’s specific dietary needs. Hydration: I ensure water bowls or fountains are clean and filled with fresh water. Bathroom Needs: For cats, I scoop litter boxes daily, and for dogs, I schedule morning walks to give them a chance to stretch and relieve themselves. During midday i help them Exercise: I schedule play sessions or walks to keep pets physically active and mentally stimulated. Engagement: This could include interactive toys, training sessions, or just quality time spent bonding with the pet. Cleaning: I tidy up their spaces, such as washing food bowls, refreshing bedding, or cleaning up any messes. In the evening it is Dinner Time: Another feeding session, ensuring pets stick to their routine. Grooming: For long-haired pets or those that shed a lot, I brush their fur. Nail trimming or light cleaning (like wiping paws) happens as needed. And finally Wind-Down: I end the day with calm activities, like cuddling or relaxing together, ensuring they feel secure before bedtime.

About: Back on Rover after a two-year hiatus and excited to meet some new furry friends! I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and as a dog mom myself, I know pets are family. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to provide personalized care, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and all the little details that make them unique - from their favorite toy, walking route, and feeding schedule to treat preferences, commands, medications, and any fears or anxieties. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel like another normal day. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and will care for your pet as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, lots of photos, and open communication every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member!

I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before our visit. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks or more adventurous hikes and trails, I'll tailor our time together to their age, health, and energy level while always respecting your preferences.

“We are so excited that we found Melanie, we were able to leave our Enzo and know he was well taken care of. We received photos and videos to keep us updated which really helped us with our separation anxiety. We hope Enzo and Melanie will become BF! Definitely recommend!”

“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!”
