About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!

About: While I don’t have formal professional experience with dogs or cats, I do have tons of real life, hands on experience caring for them. I grew up with a chihuahua from age 8 to about 20, so dogs have always been part of my everyday life. I also have my own dog, and he gets the full VIP treatment like his morning walks, night walks, plenty of potty breaks, well timed meals, and lots of playtime and attention throughout the day. I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs, keeping them active, happy, and feeling loved. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s pets, including her dogs and two cats, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for while she’s away. Dogs are honestly my happy place and my daily serotonin, they’re family to me. I treat every pet like my own, and my goal is to make sure both pets and their humans feel happy, relaxed, and confident while they’re in my care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily accommodate different routines and time needs, including last minute requests when possible. I’m always happy to work around your dog’s schedule and will do my best to be as reliable and accommodating as possible. I take great pride in caring for my own dog and making sure he’s always clean, comfortable, and well looked after. I keep a clean, cozy home, make sure potty breaks are consistent, and ensure my dog is always warm, safe, and happy indoors. If I ever care for a dog in my home, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and right at home. I truly care for dogs as if they were my family.

About: I have worked for a year and a half at a doggie daycare/boarding service as a kennel technician. I owned a dog since I was 7 years old and was responsible for walking, feeding, training, and bathing her. Unfortunately, the dog aforementioned has passed the rainbow bridge as of December 2023. I am now 25 years old. I have also worked for a 24/7 veterinary hospital for 8 months as a veterinary assistant. I know how to properly restrain animals using Fear Free techniques. I can also trim nails and provide bathing. Lastly, I worked at a local dog walking/pet sitting company for about 4 months. I have had experience taking care of dogs and cats throughout my time at this company which serviced all of Monmouth County, New Jersey. I’m looking to go all in on pet care, so I am going to be available 7 days a week. I’m looking forward to scheduling with you! I have a lot of energy, so I would love your pets as my companions on my many daily walks. I currently share a pet-friendly apartment with my fiancé, therefore, I am open to providing all services from boarding to house-sitting for all of your pet-care related needs!
