House Sitting in Island Heights

“Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have also been around cats too. Im very patient, understanding, loyal and trustworthy. I love all animals and would love to help anyone out that needs it. My schedule is flexible and usually can work on last second notices. I would love to get to know you and your pet so everyone can lead a happy life. I work full time as a High School teacher during the week but have time after the school day is over and on weekends to come by. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)

About: I had the pleasure of owning a Golden Retriever for 13.5 years. During that time I trained her, socialized her with other dogs, and gave her a loving home. I learned the different needs and characteristics of the breed and how to handle larger dogs. I'm also knowledgeable on common AKC guidelines. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me flexibility during the week to care for your pets. On weekends, I sometimes have events for my small business and love spending time with family. Please feel free to message me your preferred times — I’m happy to work something out that fits both of our schedules! I strive to create a comfortable environment to accommodate your pets needs as much as possible. I'm adaptive, flexible, and willing to work in a variety of different situations.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, dog mom to my energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Boomer, and mom of three active kids, caring for others comes naturally to me. Our home and lifestyle are very active, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with lots of energy, big personalities, and different needs. I have experience with pets both big and small and understand how important it is to keep them safe, exercised, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, or dependable in-home care, I treat every animal like part of the family and care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. My schedule is very flexible thanks to my career in real estate, which allows me to adjust my day around client and pet care needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I create my own schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of time and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. As both a dog owner and mom, I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for a member of your family. I’m attentive, dependable, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always focus on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, crate training preferences, and any special care requests to help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free.

“Veronica is a loving, caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable and experienced pet sitter. In addition, Veronica came through for us 5 days before we were going away for my Step-Sons wedding. Our original sitter had a family emergency so I looked on Rover and found Veronica. She immediately answered when I requested her as well as came over the very next day for a “Meet and Greet”. Upon meeting her we instantly felt comfortable with her staying at our house with our baby,Marlee,for the weekend. She took such good care of her! Marlee needs eye drops 2 times a day and Veronica had no problem administering them twice a day. She walked, feed and played with her all weekend! She kept us informed and sent pictures of Marlee too! We had peace of mind knowing our little love was in such good hands. We highly recommend Veronica to take care of your fur baby!!”

About: I provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always focus on safety, comfort, exercise, and personalized attention during every walk or visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and walk everyday regardless as fitness is a part of my routine. Due to being in college at Ocean County I have plenty of time on my hands to give to help a busy pet parent out and help pay for school. Im flexible, dependable, and able to give pets consistent attention, care, and special treatment given owners request. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, respect the owner’s instructions, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

“Jameson absolutely loves Jennifer and was so excited to have her stay over. She does such a great job with him, and is great with our cats as well!”

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.

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.

“Sheli was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and home! She gave daily updates on how everything was going with the dogs, as well as pictures. She was truly so helpful to us and allowed us to relax on vacation knowing the dogs were in such great care! 10/10 recommend!”

MELANIE S.

“Kasper was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs. From the moment we connected, they were communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced. They treated my dogs like their own. Patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I received consistent updates that put my mind completely at ease, and when I came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Kasper exceeded every expectation. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Kasper!! you’re truly amazing!”

“Calm and friendly, Margaret was just what my pups needed as they experienced their first long car ride and hotel stay for a family funeral. She was very receptive to our dogs' needs and behaviors, and I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur family.”

About: Hello! My sister and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with no pets of our own currently, however we both grew up with 3 dogs and a cat. We know how to treat animals with kindness and patience. I have 1 year experience volunteering at an animal shelter and my sister and I have been pet sitting for friends since we were about 14 years old. My family pets have ranged from 13 pound dogs to 100 pound dogs so we can handle anything. We would love to take care of your loved one for as long as you need! We both have school from home for a while and will be there to care for your pet 24/7. We can wait to meet your furry friend!
