Dog Sitting in Gibbstown

About: Care and responsibility for animals were instilled in me from a very young age. I've taken care of dogs since having a Cocker Spaniel when I was 6 years old. As an adult, I have adopted 4 dogs - Cierno (Pitbull), Pumpkin (Staffie mix), Sweet Pea (Boxer - deaf), and Bodhi (newest Staffie mix). I fostered 11 dogs, over the course of 4 years, through Furkid Rescue. I was also a volunteer for Hello Bully for 3 years. Pumpkin served as a PitBull Ambassador, and I cared for and exercised the Pits at their halfway house. All of the dogs in my care have been given everything they need to be healthy and happy pups. I have extensive experience with bully breeds, elderly and deaf dogs. I recently lost my last 2 dogs - Pumpkin (15 years old) and Sweet Pea (12 years old) and added the love of a new puppy, Bodhi, in May 2023. Bodhi would LOVE to have a pup to run around the fenced yard, wrestle and play with. Your dog will be well cared for in my home while you are away! I walk Bodhi before I leave for work at 7 and when I get home at 4. I have a dog walker come M-H at 12:00 to take Bodhi on a 30 minute walk. If you'd like your dog to also be walked, let me know and I'll see if they're open to walking your pup too. Your dog will need to either come with crate or be ok to roam free in a room or the apartment. I don't have children so dogs are the beings that I raise and care for. I have a secured, fenced in, large yard, and a puppy for your dog to play and walk with. Bodhi has lots of toys to share, my pantry is stocked with treats and my house is full of love. Even with a yard, I know the importance of leashed walks so exercise is a priority in my home.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, and I have raised two dogs myself along with my wife. I’ve also watched plenty of friends pets while they are out of town I work remote, so I often have free gaps throughout the day when I can take my dogs on walks or stop by for a visit. I have two incredibly friendly golden retrievers, but there is also plenty of space in my house along with a yard in case pets need space.

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My journey started with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family in middle school and grew to volunteering at local animal shelters and working in a boarding kennel to currently working as a vet assistant while at school, pursing a pre-veterinary science degree, giving me experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. At home I have a 14 year old beagle/boston terrier named Pepper who I just adore. I cannot wait to share my experience and love for animals with your pets while you are away :) As am currently home from school for the summer, my schedule is very open to care for your pets, so I am sure we would be able to work something out. I cannot wait to spend my summer caring for new furry friends!! I understand that it can be strange for our pets when a new person comes in the house, so I encourage owners to reach out to schedule a meet and greet so I can meet your four legged friends before you are gone, making the process less stressful for everyone involved.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. My father trained dogs in the army and continued throughout his life. I currently have 3 rescue dogs, Marley (lab), Marshall (terrier mix), and Chester (Chihuahua). I also have 3 rescue cats, Tiger (orange tabby), Tabby (calico), and Boots (3 legged tuxedo). Other pets I have had/cared for include Birds, hamsters, fish, hermit crabs, & axolotl’s. I’m also a mom of two! I’m a special education school teacher on summer break!! My youngest daughter is 11, so I have more freedom and spare time on my hands. I love being outside and meeting your animals. Any pet that enters my home or if I enter theirs will be treated as if they are my own. Being that I am a schoolteacher all of my clearances are up-to-date. I have a large fenced in yard. My pets are used to meeting you animals and typically very friendly!! I’m also very used to cleaning up any kind of pet messes as well as administering any type of medication needed.

“Lorenzo was not feeling well while I was away and Jessica was absolutely awesome with caring for him and sending me updates. She was always on time, attentive and I could tell she genuinely cared about my dog.”

“Gillian provided top-notch care for my four dogs, and I'm so thankful to have found her. After meeting the dogs, she put my mind at ease, and the daily photos she sent were a lovely surprise. When we returned home, the dogs were happy and relaxed, a testament to Gillian's excellent care. We'll be sure to book her again for our next trip - she's definitely earned our trust!”

About: I've taken care of many different types of pets for a large portion of my life. As friends and family have brought to my attention, I tend to attract animals big and small in a genuinely positive way. I'm currently in between jobs. I have a large amount of time in my week to spend with your fur baby. I'll be available to care for your little one for most of my day. I have 2 friendly cats in my home alongside an African Grey Parrot. My home is welcoming to all furry friends. I have a large unfenced yard with plenty of room to play and run.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid. My neighbors, friends, and family would always reach out to me to care for their dogs while away or just to walk and let them out on a busy day. I have some experience training dogs, grooming them, and giving medications. I have also helped foster dogs! I am active and love to walk and play with pups but can also act as a great companion or company! I work 3 days out of the week. I am looking to care for pets on the days that I am not working. My schedule differs each week. I am looking for something to keep me busy and entertained on those days! I am safe and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable coming into your home and handling your pet and of course cleaning up their messes! I love being outside, playing and being active! But I also love hanging out and being a companion when your fur baby needs it.

“Deanna was so lovely! She accommodated us as with a last minute request and responded quickly by asking lots of questions about our dogs, their habits, and needs. She followed our instructions to the letter and although it was a quick drop in, she still gave us a full report and pictures. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Lady! We could tell by the pictures provided that she had a great time playing in the backyard and she looks forward to hanging out with you again soon!”

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

“Madeline is amazing and very compassionate! Took great care of my senior pups. My one senior really can’t leave the house anymore so we did drop in visits. Madeline put us at ease by sending updates and photos every time she checked in. Definitely will use her again! I’ve used Rover twice before and she is the best!”

“Jennifer is an amazing sitter! Took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated the whole time. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always had a soft spot for puppies to seniors, all breeds of pooches. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides to drive around, a special treat for a pup cup and playing fetch in the yard. I am comfortable with medications, baths/grooming, accidents and the endless dog kisses. I have 2 dogs myself (Rottweiler, and a King Charles Cavalier) who are very rambunctious and always keep me on my toes. I am currently available during the week, weekends and holidays.

Multiple crate sizes for dogs and cats along with carriers. For cats- I have multiple cat trees in my home. I do have areas to seperate pets if needed in my 4 story home. Multiple food bowls, blankets and beds to keep everyone happy.

“Olivia is the best! She takes extremely good care of our furry babies while we’re away. We always know they’re in good hands with her so we can enjoy our trip.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, both big and small, practically my whole life! I know how to be patient with them and I love to explore their fun-loving personalities! Aside from personal appointments and family commitments I have a pretty open schedule, I love spending time with animals so the more time the better! I always make sure the pet is watched in an enclosed area and pay close attention to their body language to ensure they are comfortable and not anxious or overwhelmed.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 4-years old. Since then, I have volunteered at animal shelters, worked at animal shelters, watched dogs for my friends and family, and have owned a dog for most of my life. I adopted my first cat in 2020, and currently have 5. I have a Ph.D. in Biology which helps to understand the internal processes of animals. I am available most Saturdays, Sundays, and some Friday evenings. I enjoy walking and working with dogs and/or dogs. I am outgoing and very approachable, making it easy for me to befriend every type of dog or cat! I work full-time during the week, but my weekends are typically very flexible to walk a dog, feed a pet, or spend time with your animal. Growing up, I would help walk my dogs at least once a day, sometimes three times a day. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules as well as ensure that the pets are let out at the appropriate times. I currently have five cats, whom I clean the litter boxes for at least once a day and ensure they are fed properly at consistent times.

“Wayne was incredibly helpful with taking care of our rabbits and dog! He was proactive about asking if they needed medication (which they did) and a strong communicator about timing. Thank you again!”
