Dog Sitting Helmetta

About: Hello! Im Alissa :) I am a huge animal lover that can’t wait to help you with you and your pets needs! I have cared for and loved many animals from dogs to cats, reptiles, rodents and more ! I’m looking forward to getting to know your little companions unique personality and funny quirks but most importantly making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Since I was a little girl I looked for anyway to take care of animals, for instants, while my sister was in cheer practice I was going around asking if people wanted me to watch, walk or play with their dog and was very successful lol. Growing up I mostly stayed helping only friends and family with pet sitting but now I think it’s time to help others! Through the years I’ve had dogs, cats, rats, hermit crabs, snakes, geckos and much more. My goal in life is to have a farm or a rescue so I can care for many animals and make sure they all get to experience the wonderful life they deserve. I’m looking forward to becoming a trusted friend to both you and your four legged companion! I am currently in school to become a dental hygienist and my school hours did not align with the required hours for my job. Therefore I am looking for a new opportunity with more of a flexible schedule and I’d love to give my open time to care for your little companions :) I am enrolled in a weekend program so I am more available on the weekdays with a few hours on the weekends! Your pets’ safety, comfort and trust will always be my top priority! I unfortunately do not offer boarding in my own home since I live with my grandma and have animals of my own. I want to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. However, I’m more than happy to stay in your home, where your little companions are already familiar with their surroundings and can feel most relaxed. I’m also big on sending plenty of pictures, videos and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your babies are happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away!

“Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I am different from other sitters because I care about both pet and caregiver. I know what's it's like to leave a loved one to a stranger so I deeply care about open communication and lots of photos for updates! Due to other commitments from 3-8, I am available M-F at 8 am to 3 pm and then later on from 8 pm to 10 pm. On weekends my schedule is completely open! I make sure the pet is always at eye level to me. Double check everything is secure and where they're supposed to be. I will make sure that nothing dangerous is nearby.

“Hannah was very nice and reliable when dropping in on my two cats for a couple of days. She sent me pictures of the visit. She made sure my cats were comfortable. I liked working with her very much and i would use her again and recommend her to others.”

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give each dog as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding, and behavior, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also organized, patient, and I always make sure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I’m fully available, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can give pets consistent attention, follow their schedule, and be present throughout the day. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of space to explore. I’m lucky to have a large outdoor area with beautiful surroundings, including small lakes and walking paths, which allows for relaxing walks and plenty of fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety. Inside, I keep a clean, cozy space where pets can rest comfortably and follow their usual routines. In clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s routine and environment, making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: Being a pet caretaker is an integral part of my life, as I work part time as a veterinary technician, and hope to be a future veterinarian! I have experience training service dogs in training as well as large animal experience. I definitely have a passion for working with dogs! I have the patience to work with dogs of all ages, including special needs. I have no problem working with animals of all shapes,sizes and temperaments. My schedule is pretty much flexible and I have means of transportation to wherever you may need! I am also pet First Aid and CPR Certified from Pet Tech. Pet care is one of my passions in life and I’d love the opportunity to meet your four legged friends! Pet care is basically my life, as I work at a veterinary clinic! I also work part time at a local pet store, and of course I take care of my sweet dog at home! I unfortunately do not have a fenced in back yard, but live in a suburban area next to many parks and trails! I love going on adventures with my own dog and would love to meet new friends and include them.

About: Hello all! I have previous experience caring for a hamster and am currently the proud owner of an American Pit Bull Terrier. I’m passionate about training, grooming, and overall animal care, and I’m always refining my skills. I work in healthcare and fitness, so I’m active, hands-on, and detail-oriented. My strong work ethic, communication skills, and personable nature allow me to build great relationships with both people and their furry friends! I have open and flexible weekend availability, and I’m available most weekday evenings as well. I also enjoy working early morning shifts and am happy to accommodate those when needed. I love outdoor walks and playtime—I have stamina for days! I’m also comfortable handling grooming, as I do all of my own pet’s grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and always want pets to feel comfortable, enriched, well-rested, fed, and, most importantly, loved.

“Vee was a very thorough sitter for my 2 year old cat. She took the time to visit with my cat beforehand and really understand her needs and what she’s used to. Vee sent me plenty of photos and a very detailed follow up note about her visit. My cat is definitely very particular and Vee did a great job caring for her!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 18 years. I also have a dog myself named Dash. I’ve also taken care of family members and friends pet. I am a full time employee who is willing to care for your pet after my work day or before. I am free on weekends. I would care for the pet as if the pet was my own.

About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience raising my dog since he was 4 months old, including training in various methods. I’m dedicated to understanding your dog’s unique needs and providing personalized care, whether it’s puppy training or senior dog support. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to offer reliable care during evenings and weekends. I work full time during the week, but I’m available to provide attentive care starting at 4 PM on weekdays and am free for full-day care on most weekends. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and welcoming environment, with a fenced yard for playtime and outdoor fun. My two friendly dogs enjoy the company of others, so your pet will have a buddy to socialize with. In your home, I ensure your pet’s routine is followed, providing familiar comfort and attention.

About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life! I have my own dog her name is Revvy and she is my whole entire world! I also have experience with pigs, chickens, fish, and so much more! I have lots of love to give to all kinds of animals. I just want to be able to care for all furry kinds of friends and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work at a doggy day care and boarding facility but always make time for my dog, we always are out early in the morning to tire her out so she isn’t missing me too much when I am at work! Then we go out after work. I am mostly available early mornings and possibly late evenings. I will treat them as my own, give them lots of love and attention. I will protect them and provide them with everything they need. I just hope that they will end up loving me as much as they would be loved by me.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, but I really started learning through hands-on experience when I got my own pug 6 years ago. He’s super mellow and has taught me so much about caring for dogs day-to-day. I love making sure pups feel comfortable and entertained—especially if they’re treat-motivated! I have enrichment toys, a basket full of fun toys, and a cozy patio they can relax on. There’s also a dog park in my community for extra playtime. I’m not a pro trainer, but I’m happy to work on basic training with treats and patience. I just genuinely love dogs and want them to feel happy and at home. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I take my dog on walks around my townhouse complex, stop by the dog park, and make sure he gets plenty of play and cuddle time. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my partner is home during the day if needed, and I always make time in the evenings for walks, feeding, and attention. On weekends, I’m fully available. I also love taking dogs to pet-friendly spots throughout the week—because they deserve a fun outing and a little treat now and then, like a pup cup if allowed! Pets in my home are free to roam since they’re trained to potty outside, but I’m always happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. I have potty pad holders available if needed and will gladly follow any special instructions you provide to help your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable!

I’ve helped with dogs as small as malteses and as big as goldendoodles! Ive also helped dogs with specific needs such as blind and older dogs! I work remote one day a week so I’m happy to watch dogs or take them out, I just need a heads up to pick the day I work from home.

I have a fenced yard for any pet to wander around in and am happy to walk them around my neighborhood park! No other pets in the home!

“Kimberly was great with our two dogs during our vacation. She is very responsive and caring. One of our pups had an allergy flare up while we were gone and Kimberly was able to give our dog her medicine. I would definitely book with Kimberly again!”
