Caitlen took very good care of our girl, Smokey. Followed all directions, sent photos every day, left the house exactly as we left it. Excellent experience!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and consistency as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler routine, medication reminders, or extra attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping pets active with walks and playtime, and maintaining routines that help them feel at home. What sets me apart is the genuine attention and care I give every pet. I treat animals like family, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure each pet gets personalized care based on their needs and personality. I am currently working part and time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am also very available on the weekends. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and comfortable while in my care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I keep the environment clean, secure, and calm, and I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and food instructions for safety. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed

Mae is the best!!! I can’t say enough good things. She took such good care of our dog, 2 cats, and 2 turtles. She even watered our plants and took in our mail. She sent daily updates and we felt so secure on our trip knowing Mae was looking after all our pets. We recommend her so highly and hope she will house/pet sit for us again in the future!!

Sade was so compassionate with Max and not rushing him to get to be comfortable with her and gave him time and space. It also helped that Max was in his own home and Sade took care of my place as It were own. Would love to book again with her for future dates.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 years. I’m really in it for the love of the game. I unfortunately can’t have a dog my self, which in turn makes me love and care for others dogs even more. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and can handle just about anything when it comes to caring for them. I know how much you care about your dog, which is why I will go to the ends of the earth to take care of them Lucas Domazet I’m part time at the family business, so I’m free most days. Just text me when ever and I’ll let you know. Call at midnight for all I care. I know life is crazy and sometimes you can’t take your pets with you. That’s why I’m here What ever special requirements your pet may need, I will do. I know everyone loves their dog(s) more than most other people in their life. So obviously they deserve as much love and care as we can give them.

Sally was wonderful with our dogs! She helped us out in a pinch when our dog sitter bailed on us 4 days before our wedding. Our dogs did great with her (even being slightly timid dogs). She even brought some snacks and toys, such a thoughtful touch! We will definitely be using Sally again!

CeeCee was the most caring and incredible dog sitter. Our Cavapoo usually doesn’t get too comfortable in someone’s home but within 10 minutes she warmed up to CeeCee and was her happy go lucky self around her home. She sent pics and updates and paid so much special attention to our pup. I’m only sad, that she doesn’t live closer to my town to make her our regular sitter. 10 out of 10 review !! I’d 100 percent recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: *** I am available to book clients in the area surrounding Ocean City, NJ*** What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my experience, genuine passion for animals, and skills that cater to both ends of the age spectrum. Puppy Care: As a seasoned sitter, I possess a unique skill set in puppy training. I understand the importance of early socialization, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines. Senior Care: On the other end of the spectrum, I am well-versed in providing dedicated care for senior pets. I recognize the unique needs of older animals, including mobility challenges, joint care, and age-appropriate exercise. I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. I can readily adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your pets. Caring for the pets in your home is a responsibility I take very seriously! Every pet is unique, and I recognize that. I take the time to understand your pet's personality, preferences, and any specific requirements they may have. Above all, my genuine love for animals drives me to go above and beyond. Your pet will benefit from my unwavering dedication, treating them with the same affection and care I offer to my own pets. Routine: Consistency is key for pets, so l'll stick to their established routine, including feeding times, exercise schedules, bathroom breaks, and playtime. This minimizes stress and ensures a smooth transition in your absence. Feeding and Medication: If your pet requires a special diet or medication, l'll make sure to follow your instructions precisely. Whether it's administering oral medication, applying topical treatments, or managing injections, your pet's health is my top priority. Exercise and Play: Engaging physical and mental activities are vital for pets' well-being. I'll engage in interactive play, walks, and stimulating games to keep them entertained, happy, and healthy. Hygiene and Cleanliness: I maintain a clean and hygienic environment for your pet. Regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Communication: Regular updates are crucial to ease your mind while you're away. I'll provide you with timely messages, photos, and even videos of your pet, so you can stay connected and see that they're in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: While I hope it never happens, I am prepared for emergencies. I'll have your contact information, your veterinarian's details, and a plan in place to address any unexpected situations that may arise. Safety and Security: I'll ensure that your home is secure during my visits. Doors and windows will be properly closed and locked. If necessary, I'll also bring in mail, adjust curtains, and perform other tasks to give the appearance that your home is occupied. Initial Consultation: Before the pet-sitting period begins, I'll meet with you and your pet (in person or virtually) to discuss your pet's routine, medical needs, and any specific requirements they may have. Ultimately, I treat your pet as if they were my own, offering the same love, care, and attention I would want for my furry companions. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my primary concerns throughout my time caring for them in your home.

I’m currently in Doctor of Physical Therapy school at Stockton University full time, but have off from class Tuesday, Friday and the weekends. I am happy to come over and take care of your pets. I live in an apartment complex with little yard space, but I love getting outside and would be more than happy to take your pet on long walks if they need extra exercise.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!

We had a fantastic experience with Suzann looking after our home and our skittish border collie. She was incredibly responsible and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. Suzann went above and beyond starting with multiple meet and greets. Our dog is a rescue that shies away from most folks. Suzann knew how to work with her and Briar warmed up to her in a very short period of time. She did other tasks we never expected like taking out the trash on collection day and spending extra time working with our dog. Briar seemed happy and relaxed when we returned, and the house was spotless. We have used Rover sitters in the past at our previous home. None of them compare to Suzann. We highly recommend Suzann and will be booking her again for our next trip.
