House Sitting in Kenvil

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. They now live with their forever homes. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.

“Amazing care! We got so many pictures and a few videos throughout the 11 days and Hero was well taken care of. He has a habit of eating things he shouldn't and there was only one minor incident that we were told of right away (and thankfully hasn't caused any issues). We're looking forward to booking them again!”

“We are SO happy with Jennifer’s diligent, patient, & loving care of our little girl — we feel we hit the jackpot finding her! After the sudden passing of our two beloved dogs last year, we were anxious & apprehensive about leaving our recently adopted (also anxious) dog for the first time on a trip. Jennifer alleviated all anxieties, was wonderful about checking in and asking questions, respectful of our home, went above and beyond. Plus our hard-to-crack little egg absolutely loves her! Many many thanks to Jennifer; we feel confident leaving our little girl in the safety of her care.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with high-energy pets, shy animals, seniors, and those with special needs who require extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet needs calm, dependable care or lots of playtime and activity, I’m happy to provide a fun, loving, and attentive experience. I work three days a week and have four days completely off, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and lots of playtime and attention. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, especially high-energy pets who need extra exercise and engagement. I’m also comfortable maintaining routines and giving pets the patience and consistency they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Growing up on a farm taught me how to read animal behavior, handle different temperaments, and stay patient in new situations. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, seniors, and animals with special needs. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner preferences closely. In a client’s home, I prioritize cleanliness, supervision, safety, and making sure each pet feels loved and stress-free.

“Antonia was the absolute best!! We were so happy with her watching our fur babies! She was so informative and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We had never left our dogs with everyone and this being our first time was an absolute dream. She left our house neat, clean and was so conscientious!! Can't thank her enough!!!”

“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”

“Rebecca was absolutely fantastic with our fur babies! We have a cat and an older dog with digestive issues that requires specific care. Usually, we travel with our pets, but unfortunately, this time, we couldn’t. I’m a nervous wreck when I leave them with anyone else because of past experiences and illnesses that have occurred in my absence. Before booking, Rebecca was completely transparent about any prior commitments that might take her away from our home for a few hours. She wanted to ensure that this would still be a good fit for our dog’s well-being. I really appreciated that Rebecca was incredibly kind and attuned to the needs of our animals. She handled them with the utmost patience and understanding. I believe her to be incredibly trustworthy, and both our dog and cat absolutely adored her. I received countless photos, videos, and updates of our dog doing her happy dance, taking naps, and snuggling up on the couch with Rebecca. One day our dog had an upset stomach which is always a cause for concern with her chronic health issues, and Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure that she did everything possible to care for her properly. She kept me fully in the loop and even offered to cook rice and broth for her in case she needed to settle her stomach. I mentioned that sweet potato usually helps her eat again if needed, and Rebecca offered to drive and pick one up so that she could ensure it was a good quality for my dog, rather than me having one delivered to the house: Thankfully my dog finally decided to eat her food and got better in the evening but like I said, she went above and beyond. I would/will hire Rebecca again and entrust her with our fur babies without hesitation. She was simply phenomenal and is a pet owner’s dream come true. Rebecca, Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our fur babies!”

“Jordyn did a great job caring for my westie in my home while I was away for a week. She sent updates and pictures. He was well cared for. When I returned home, Jordyn made sure everything was in perfect order! Linus misses her already! We’ll be calling Jordyn again! I highly recommend her!”

“Annett is wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone! She stayed with our two sphynx cats for 10 days while we were in Europe. She took the time to really bond with them and we felt so much better knowing they were getting plenty of attention and care while we were away. She had excellent communication and her daily updates brought smiles to our faces every time!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for years, both personally and professionally. I previously worked in a grooming salon where I regularly handled large and giant breeds, helped with bathing and nail trims, and worked with dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. Friends and family have also relied on me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and attentive caring for your pet, and I always try to make animals feel safe and comfortable with me. I currently have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my routine. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care depending on the booking. I always try to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and body language so pets can stay as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also have experience working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels through grooming salon work and personal pet care.

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

Boarding— i have experience caring for dogs overnight in others homes and in mine. I provide a space in my home where the dog can sleep. I have a big yard and areas where the dogs can play.

Id love to connect if you are interested in learning more. I take online grad school classes, so I’m usually around the home hanging out with them. I feed them in the morning play with them during the day and get lots of love and attention. I have a pretty big apartment where I can take care of cats and small dogs. my backyard is not fenced in, but I can keep the dog on a leash.

“Christina did a great job with my dogs and taking care of the house while we were away. She provided updates and was easy to keep in contact with. She also left the house clean and neat with extra touches she provided.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs a good portion of my life! Love pets altogether. I can understand that all pets have different needs and quirks! I’m currently babysitting Monday’s through Friday’s but a limited amount of hours daily. It isn’t anything that would interfere with pet care needs I’d need to accomplish elsewhere. As far as overnight stays my hours wouldn’t cut in but I’d leave at some point in the day for babysitting for a couple hours. For day to day drop in’s or walks I could communicate my availability and come to an agreement accordingly with owners. My hours in babysitting wouldn’t prevent me from meeting any needs because aside from babysitting I have a lot of time available in the day. I personally don’t take boarding clients but I’m very respectful in other peoples homes. Whatever boundaries and request’s set I will honor them. I’m there to help with a service needed and get paid and hopefully get some pet cuddles in lol. I’ve worked in many different homes with different dynamics and I’ve always gotten back that I’m very pleasant and helpful, that’s huge especially when it comes to childcare. Let alone pet care. I would never take advantage or overstep it’s not in my moral compass to disrespect another persons space.
