About: Growing up in an animal-loving household gave me years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds — from dogs and cats to even birds! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring looking after your pets. I’m currently a college student with a flexible summer schedule, and I’d love to spend my summer making sure your pets get lots of attention, care, walks, playtime, and of course, treats (if allowed 😄). I currently have both weekends and weekdays open to book! ‼️Please note: - I am not available for recurring visits/walks until June. Message me for more info on this :) Please reach out ahead of time to confirm availability :) I care for every pet like they're my own! As a pet-lover, I prioritize making your pet feel comfortable, and create a safe environment for all personalities. I pay very close attention to your pets needs, and follow their routine as closely as possible. Upon request, I am more than happy to send photo updates to ensure you feel at ease too!

“Wiktoria is the best! She is prompt, reliable and really easy to communicate with. We had her walk Murphy and she was wonderful - we'll be using Wiktoria whenever we need someone to help with Murphy.”

“Melissa walked my 2 pit bulls, for about 2 weeks, while i was recovering from surgery. One of my dogs, Hazel, barks at anyone that comes to my home, and the first time Melissa came, Hazel did not bark, she wagged her tail, and bonded immediately and so easily with Melissa. Melissa is the true definition of a dog whisperer.”

About: I got my first pets at four years old and have loved animals ever since. I’ve been working as a veterinary assistant for the last six years (including emergency veterinary medicine). I have extensive experience with small exotics, birds reptiles, amphibians, dogs and cats. Animals are my first love. I currently work 8 hour shifts Monday through Friday.

About: I love animals I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Making sure every animal is loved is very important to me. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through planned, consistent time set aside for each pet’s needs. On a daily basis, I schedule time for feeding, providing fresh water, walks or exercise, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and giving attention, playtime, and companionship. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. On a weekly basis, I incorporate deeper cleaning of pet areas, restocking supplies, grooming as needed, and reviewing any special instructions from pet owners. I plan my schedule in advance to ensure pet care responsibilities are met reliably without interfering with other commitments. Pet care in my home and/or a client’s home is provided based on the specific service requested and the individual needs of each pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise, and routines. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their normal daily routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and offering companionship, playtime, and supervision. In my home, pets are kept in a safe, clean, and calm environment with appropriate supervision, regular feeding, exercise, and rest. I prioritize the pet’s safety, health, and emotional well-being at all times and communicate with owners as needed to provide updates or address concerns.

About: I’m Jeff, a lifelong animal lover based in Toms River. At 51, I’ve had pets my whole life — dogs, cats, and even a chinchilla I trained along the way! I’ve raised dogs from puppies, training them myself from day one, and currently care for both a senior dog and a senior cat, so I understand the full journey of pet ownership from the very beginning to the golden years. As a work-from-home small business owner, I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet gets consistent company and care — not just a quick visit. Your animals are in experienced, loving hands. Thank You As a work-from-home small business owner, my schedule is built around flexibility. I’m home all day, every day, with no regular outside commitments — though I’m a hands-on dad to two high schoolers, so family always comes first when needed. That said, I’m consistently available for walks and visits in the early morning, mid-morning, and afternoon, making it easy to build a reliable routine your pet can count on. I keep my client list intentional so every animal in my care gets real time and attention, not a rushed visit.” When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, and your pet stays in the environment they know and love. I always use a leash and harness on walks — no exceptions — because safety on the road comes first. Throughout every visit or walk you’ll receive updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. In the event of any emergency I will contact you immediately and follow your guidance regarding your veterinarian. Medication needs are welcome and can be discussed on a case by case basis during our meet and greet.

About: Although I don't have any pets myself, family members have always relied on me to look after dogs. Every family member I know at least owns a dog, and for the most part, they all seem to like me as if I have a special connection with each and every one of them. For the two pups I've looked after belonging to two of my family members, I've had some success teaching them a trick or two that their own pet mom and/or dad had not thought of teaching them in. I'm currently out of the job market for the time being as I'm currently pursuing certifications with regards to working in IT in the near future. Providing Rover services provides a healthy balance to my studying once in a while, although this can change in the future should I decide to get back in the job market and find part-time work. I absolutely obey every rule that a client requires me while looking after their dog and/or cat in their own home. At the same time, I make it a fun learning experience in getting know more about the client's pet care requirements as well as the their pet's personality under my care.
