Pet Sitting Lavallette

About: I enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor each visit or walk to your pet’s individual needs. I have volunteered at Animal Shelters (specifically for dogs) for about a year and a half and periodically care for family and friends pets while their owners are out of town! Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m up for it! I have flexible hours since i work part-time and only in the mornings, I’m always done by 12. I have weekend availability along with weekdays! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before each visit

“Shannon is a pleasure. She is patient and caring, treated my Lucia like her own. Shannon kept in touch with me to let me know pertinent details of her visits, which confirmed my belief that I had made the right decision. I strongly recommend Shannon, and will certainly call her in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the experience I've gained caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I volunteered with ACCT Philly Animal Shelter, where I helped care for both dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments and needs. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable, whether working with energetic puppies, shy rescue dogs, or senior pets that need a little extra care and compassion. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family always had multiple pets, and I was known as the one who spent the most time caring for them. Whether it was feeding, walking, playing, or simply making sure they felt safe and loved, I naturally took on that role because I truly enjoy being around animals. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience because they're a puppy or senior, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine—it's a part of my everyday life. I truly believe that when you choose to have pets, you make the time for them. The people closest to me joke that I'm a bit of a "helicopter mom" with my animals, but I think that's exactly why we have such a strong bond. I love going above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy, healthy, and enriched. On nice days, I bring my cats out onto our secure porch so they can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine. I hide treats around the house to create little "brain games" that keep them mentally stimulated, stay on top of their grooming and hygiene, and make sure each of my pets gets one-on-one attention every day. I think it's important that every animal feels loved as an individual, not just as part of the group. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Whether it's sticking to their normal routine, making time for extra play, or simply giving them companionship while you're away, I'll care for them with the same dedication I give my own. I believe the best pet care starts with understanding both the pet's needs and the owner's expectations. I'm also a strong advocate for respecting boundaries—both yours and your pet's. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member can feel nerve-racking. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you prefer frequent updates, lots of photos, detailed visit summaries, or specific instructions on how you'd like your pet cared for, I'm happy to accommodate your preferences.

About: experienced, reliable, and genuinely dog-obsessed sitter who treats every pup like family. Whether your dog is a high-energy zoomie professional, a couch potato connoisseur, or a “needs three belly rubs before bedtime” type, I’ve got them covered. My schedule allows me to provide consistent care throughout the week. I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but I have a very flexible job that allows me to leave during the day for potty breaks, walks, or check-ins as long as the location isn’t too far away. This means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate midday care to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine. I have had dogs and cats my own. So I am very comfortable with creating. I do not have a gated fence but I live in a nice town where there are sidewalks for long walks.

“Christina is a rare and talented gem who gives incredibly thorough and tender care to our furbabies. The peace of mind she provides when we’re away is unparalleled, especially as our one kitty is newly diabetic. He’s also a very shy guy and she quickly mastered issuing his oral pill. All 3 kitties and our exuberant doggo pretty much immediately took to Christina. She’s truly an animal whisperer and an extremely reliable support for us. We are beyond grateful for Christina and highly recommend her!”

“Katie was awesome! We needed drop in visits for our 2 cats very last minute and she was able to help us in a pinch! Will definitely use her services again if we ever go out of town. 10/10 thank you soooo much. You are our vacation hero!”

“This was our first time using the Rover app. We were so happy to have Nicole as our sitter. She went above & beyond in caring for our cat while we were away, including brushing, cleaning up the area around the feeding dishes, removing hair balls, etc. Nicole sent a detailed report each day and made sure she got pics even on those days our cat was hiding. Nicole developed a rapport with Ollie very quickly and it helped us enjoy our time away knowing our cat was in great hands.”

“Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease caring for Jackson & Julius during our daughter’s wedding celebration. I was grateful for the updates and pictures shared. I highly recommend Charlotte and this service.”

About: Hi! I’m Gillian, a professional dog groomer with over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Throughout my career, I’ve handled thousands of dogs, including puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and dogs with special needs. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for health concerns, and provide calm, confident care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or grooming services, I will treat them like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I work as a professional dog groomer during the day and offer pet care services before and after work, as well as on weekends. During house sitting stays, pets must be comfortable being alone for several hours on weekdays. I prioritize communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With over 8 years of professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs with special needs. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and household rules. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience while you’re away.

About: I have three years of experience walking other dogs in my neighborhood back home. I have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Additionally, I have spent my whole life caring for my own family’s dogs, including daily walks around the neighborhood and longer walks at the beach. I love dogs and love caring for them! I am in my senior year at ASU. As a student, I focus mainly on my studies, however I have a lot of time in between my classes and I am looking to fill this time with dog walking! My schedule is very flexible, just reach out! For dog walking, my priority is keeping pets safe and comfortable. I will make sure to follow the routine set by their owner and listen to the pets' needs. I will stay aware of surroundings at all times, adjusting each walk to match what your dog is comfortable with.

About: I've volunteered with an animal rescue for 8 years now. I know how to administer oral medicine, handle feral or very anxious furbabies, I'm fearless and very lovable. Animals are the humans most wonderful friends. I know basic dog training as well. I have open availability at this moment in time unless I have planned events. I'm planning to start school soon but most of my classes would be online so I will be home. If you have a certain routine or schedule with your babies I'll do my absolute best to follow in your foot steps for them. ❤️

About: I have had dogs for my entire life and I love being around them. I can easily manage walking, feeding, and entertaining them as I do at home. I am working at the Crabs Claw this summer, but I am hoping to fill my off hours with as much work as possible. I will be able to walk whenever I am not working I can manage all dogs needs. Whether they need to be leased on a walk, played with in a fenced yard, or crated at the end.

“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!!!”

“I can’t recommend Taylor highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, cat, and even my hermit crabs while I was away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. She kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. All of my pets were clearly happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It’s not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your animals, but Taylor is truly one of a kind. I’ll be booking her again!”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner - I’ve had my own special needs deaf dog that I’ve taken care of for 3 years since he was a puppy. Sadly he is no longer with me, but that means I can dedicate myself to other peoples fur babies and it gives me a lot of joy to be able to do that again on a part time basis. I have experience with puppies, obedience and behavior modification training (I am not a professional trainer, but I have worked with one and have taught my own dog basic obedience using hand signals), giving medication as necessary, and adaptability at handling anxiety and reactivity (as this was my dog). I’ve learned the body language of dogs a lot more than many other dog owners because of what I went through with my dog and I am happy to help if I can while your pup is in my care. Before getting my dog, I also watched and walked one of my neighbors dogs regularly. I’ve also done in-home dog sitting for some friends on several occasions for days at a time. I love dogs very much and will treat yours like it’s my own! I’m currently in between jobs and looking for recurring care, hence my open availability. For new clients that need one-time care, I am usually available on weekends. I’m currently in an apartment which may not be the most ideal, though it is pet friendly, so it might only be a good option for day sitting smaller dogs. Otherwise, I can come and sit dogs at your residence. I’ll walk your dog every 2-4 hours. I can also take them to parks/dog parks or runs for exercise if you are comfortable with that.

“Vee helped me in a last minute need for a walker. Not only did she take care of Kai but stayed a bit longer and made sure she got a good walk in! Will be using regularly in the future.”

About: With over 15 years of experience as a responsible pet owner and lifelong animal lover, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, weights, and breeds. Although limited I do have experience caring for cats. (My girlfriend has cats) Alongside this, I bring 25 years of professional project management experience, which means I’m organized, reliable, and attentive to details. I truly enjoy caring for animals and would genuinely look forward to giving your pets the attention, care, and respect they deserve. I work from home M-F. My weekend availability is spotty as I work in Lambertville NJ some Saturdays and Sundays (seasonal) so just ask and I will do my best to accommodate. I will care for your pets in your home exactly how you do. I appreciate precise details of your pet’s habits, things that bring them happiness and expectations of anyone caring for them.

“Donna is great! Super reliable and great with our pup!”

About: My name is Kristen and I currently live in Lavallette. I have a ton of experience with all types of animals especially cats and dogs. I currently live in a home with a fenced in backyard, perfect for your pet to roam. My house is very pet friendly and I will make sure to accommodate whatever is needed. I work remote so I have a lot of flexibility with regards to housing your pet, or going for walks etc. My house is entirely hardwood floors with very little carpet in case accidents do happen. Your pet will have the ability to roam freely throughout my two story house, and sleep wherever they want. We currently have one small very friendly border terrier in the house. Happy to let them interact or keep them separate your choice! We go to the park and I try to take her to the dog park every so often to change it up. I make sure she always has enough food and water when we return, to make sure she stays happy and healthy. I love all animals and have a lot of experience caring for them. I raised my older dog since she was a puppy and took care of her after surgery. I also consider myself a good trainer, as my old dog knew over 15 tricks. I will make sure to provide your pet with the love and attention he or she deserves. :) I work remotely full time with a very flexible schedule so I am able to provide full time care for your pet! I am active but just as happy to stay and snuggle up with your pup :) I have a completely fenced in back yard so your pet is free to roam without any worries of escaping! Live in a 2 story house with primarily all hardwood flooring as well.
