Dog Sitting Lanoka Harbor

About: As a pet parent to three cats with cerebellar hypoplasia and one very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, I understand firsthand how unique every animal’s needs can be. I spent over 10 years working part‑time as a large‑animal vet tech while balancing a corporate career, giving me extensive experience with pets of all temperaments, medical backgrounds, and special needs. I now work primarily from home, which allows me the flexibility and time to care for your pets with the same attention, patience, and love I give my own. I also owned 2 certified therapy dogs who were certified. Volunteering with Pets and helping to brighten people's day with a pet visit is important to me. I am currently working on certification for my cat Tango Mango Flip Flop. I also am a member of a pet transport group that pulls animals from high kill shelters and transports them to no kill situations. I am both a driver and a feline overnighter. I am a sponsor of 2 cats at Tabby's Place in Ringoes NJ. I also work remote most weekdays - so I have flexibility between conference calls during the day as well as availability for early morning/after work hours visits. I have owned cats for over 40 yrs and high energy German Shorthaired Pointers for 30 yrs. I like to know the temperment of a pet if taking them on a walk to ensure their comfort and safety. Do they get startled by cars or bicycles - best to avoid areas with lots of commotion. If playing in a client's yard - are there garden areas we need to ensure don't get trampled? If a dog is crated during the day, does the owner want their collar on or off when in the crate. Pet sitting is a combination of care of the pet and care of the pet's surroundings.

About: Experienced pet sitter reactivating my profile due to new flexible schedule! I’ve cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from senior dogs to active puppies. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats in total (including one blind + deaf senior dog). With one indoor cat currently, I really miss having dogs around! I’d love to care for your pet while you’re away, or show them some love with a walk. It would make me just as happy as it makes them. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available and ready to care for your beloved pet, whether it’s a cat or dog! For pet sitting, I will ensure your pets belly is full, is given a walk and plenty of water, will be let out to go potty, and will get plenty of attention while you’re away!

“Sophia was kind, loving, attentive, and very flexible when caring for my cat! I never felt worried while I was away because I knew my cat was in good hands. Sophia treats your pet as if they are her own and her experience handling animals shows. I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone else!”

About: Growing up with dogs has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. I bring a lot of energy and confidence to my walks, making me a great fit for larger, high-energy breeds or young pups who are still working on their leash manners. At the same time, I have a deep respect and gentle approach for senior pets who require extra patience, medication administration, or just a calm companion to keep them company With football coaching wrapped up for the season, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to pet care. Because I don't have conflicting commitments, I can offer flexible, highly reliable availability throughout the week for midday walks, drop-in visits, or consistent routines. Your dog will be my main priority, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and structured care exactly when they need it. In my clients' homes, my top priority is maintaining your dog's established routine while keeping your home secure. I double check locks, ensure gates are closed tightly, and always stick to the specific feeding and medication schedules you provide. If a dog is staying at my home, they enter a secure, dog friendly environment where they are treated like family. Because I'm home full time right now, your pet will never be left unsupervised, and they will enjoy a structured routine of frequent backyard play, supervised socialization, and plenty of safe space to relax.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. As well, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was in charge of feeding all of the dogs and letting them out to go the bathroom. The dogs ranged in ages from puppies all the way up to senior dogs which needed assistance in getting up to start walking. There is no dog too young or too old for me. I will embrace and love your best friend like they are my own! We will go for walks and play every night to make sure your best friends does not miss you too much! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. Let’s have a barking good time together!

“Daisy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She updated us each day with several pics. She was mindful of the heat and avoided walking her by other dogs.”

“Joyce was wonderful. Not only was she professional, but she was considerate and kind. She placed value on Max and his needs. In a very short time, she understood Max and cared for him as if he was her own. She was consistent and reliable. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”

About: I've been a dog owner for over 30 years. My dogs are just as much as my family as my three (now grown) children. I tend to go over and beyond...never missed a walk..no matter the weather! Love bringing them joy...their joy is my joy! I don't currently have a pet care fit for my daily routine aside from the fact that there's not a day that goes by that I don't currently walk my two dogs. I'd love to hang up corporate job and begin a career change in walking and caring for dogs! I would care for your dog depending on their individual needs and your requirements. Whether that be play time in the yard or walking or cuddles on the couch!

About: I have had numerous pets over the years that include dogs of many sizes and breeds. I have raised puppies and seen my share of canine companions through to the Rainbow Bridge. I have experience with numerous medical issues and giving medications. To be clear, I do not have any professional Veterinary experience from a providers perspective, but am able to provide basic medication dispensing with your instructions. I love to go for long walks and experience the joy that our furry friends get with lots of sniffs along the way. My husband is also available daily to help with care if for any reason I need to run out for an errand. My husband is also a caregiver on Rover if you would like to check out his page. His name is James Blankenhorn. I am a former Dental Hygienist that has been retired for just under 1 year. We lost our precious Malti Poo 2 years ago and I miss having a dog to care for. My husband is also retired, so we are both at home most days. My husband is also a Rover member that can help care for your dog when needed if I am unavailable, If you would like to check out his profile on Rover, his name is James Blankenhorn. We have had numerous dogs over the years that range from small to large. Our home is in a gated development and none of the yards are fenced in, so walks on a leash would be required. Each of us are also available to walk your canine companion in their own neighborhood if preferred. As noted above, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am happy to walk your canine companion in my neighborhood or yours. I am happy to dispense medications if needed and happy to take your special pet to a Vet appointment if needed.

“Curt was easy to work with. I have a big dog that I trusted Curt with and a sometimes difficult reactive dog. It is hard to find someone who is patient with my difficult dog so it was nice to be able to get away for the night and know my dogs were safe!!!”

About: After 30 rewarding years of working with children and adults with special needs, I have recently retired and am bringing my lifetime of patience, empathy, and intuitive care to your beloved pets. I understand that every animal is a unique individual. My career taught me how to read subtle body language and provide a calm, reassuring presence. Whether your dog wants to curl up on the couch for endless cuddles or a shy, anxious friend needs gentle space and time to warm up, I naturally adapt to their emotional needs. As a proud owner of a sweet senior dog myself, I am well-versed in the slower paces, gentle handling, and extra TLC that older pets require. I can be available during the week or on weekends in the mornings afternoons or evenings for drop ins, belly scratches, walks, meals, and whatever else your pet needs. I cannot bring pets to my home at this time. Though I have a large fenced in yard, my senior girl might have trouble with company if she’s having a tough day with her arthritis.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like my own. My experience includes daily care, feeding routines, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, patient, and dedicated to making pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I'm excited to help care for your pets! i currently have a decently flexible schedule! Available weekdays after 2pm and all weekends. I can adjust to your pet care needs. Your pet will never know you're gone! I will treat them as my own pet and keep on their current routines to establish a great transition!

About: Growing up in an animal loving home, I have had the responsibility of taking care of dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, birds, turtles, mice, Guinea pigs, and an iguana. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, brush, clean, bathe, and play with their animals. I treat them as if they were my own and as if they were human. I currently work Monday to Friday 8-4:30pm and I am home on weekends. I am able to walk, feed, play, and follow potty schedules as you do in your home after work, on the weekends, or in my home for boarding. I do have owners who are ok with their dogs being in my home while I am at work but it is all about whatever you feel comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard with three house trained, dog friendly doggos. They get a walk everyday and let out as much as they need. My husband and I love to go in the backyard with them and run around or take them on adventures in the car. My dogs do sleep in our room, either in their beds or on our bed, whatever they prefer and that is the same option I will always give your dog. I can crate if needed/requested. Wally and Reed are fed three small meals a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening, but I know not everyone’s food schedule is this way. All feedings are separated from your dogs. My older dog has allergies and is given allergy medication daily as well as ear drops which makes me capable of following a medication routine. We also have a Furbo indoor camera that has all eyes on the dogs at all times and baby gates to separate large areas of our home just incase anything were to ever happen. There are times where I will be sitting other dogs as well as yours. All dogs are slowly introduced on leash in the backyard in a safe environment. I allow the dogs to take the time they need to settle in and get a feel and sense of smell of their surroundings. If an owner feels as though the stay will not work out, I am completely understanding. I would never want an owner or dog to ever feel uncomfortable in my home. If you are unsure of your dogs feelings toward other dogs, especially males, I always recommend a meet and greet in advance. I have never cared for a special needs animal, but I have taken care of very sick animals and making sure they are comfortable and accommodated for. If you have a special needs dog and are considering me, I would make all the accommodations necessary to make your pet feel right at home and comfortable.
