House Sitting in Manahawkin

“Chris is excellent and RELIABLE. Elmer was relaxed (for Elmer), content and found a new buddy in Chris. We are very happy to have connected with him and look forward to working with him again. 👍 PS - we will be happy to tip Chris for his hard work with Elmer when we see him next.”

“Serena came through last minute for us. Couldn't have been happier with her overall service. Our animals loved her from the start and she stayed in contact the whole time which left me at ease for the evening. She is truly passionate about animals and firmly responsible as we had her house sitting with our pets. She is an asset to this service. Top tier service and professionalism.”

About: Family & friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay with their beloved pets for over a decade. Caring is a part of my nature & pet sitting/dog walking is a good way for me to decompress from the high intensity work I do at the hospital. My work schedule changes weekly & rotates between three to four days per week at the hospital- still leaving 3 or 4 days free for caring for your pet. Booking in advance allows me the opportunity to schedule my hospital shifts around your needs. I myself have a lab mix at home. I would be caring for your pet in their own trusted environment, your home, but would need the freedom to run back to care for my own fur baby during the day.

“Katie was great - responsive, friendly, and the animals (a dog and 2 cats) were all well cared for while we were away and clearly very comfortable with Katie. We will use here again without hesitation.”

“Sarah was great! She has a warm, inviting personality and my skittish dog warmed up to her quickly. Sarah provided updates and pictures of my dogs which put me at ease during my trip. Would definitely use again!”

“I reached out to Daniel with extremely short notice. He responded very quickly. He came a hung out with my puppy Moochie who is still crate training, teething and an overly curious baby. I felt very comfortable leaving Moochie with him because he works at the vet hospital and actually cared for Moochie like two weeks earlier when he had a sore butt from a vaccine. Daniel sent me a few pics during his visit, which I always love. He came and left at agreed upon time. My extreme anxiety was put at ease. 💕”

About: I have recently lost my fur baby boy and would be honored to care for your furry family member. I have volunteered with many animal rescue organizations over the years. I have also fostered dogs and cats for many years from very tiny babies to seniors. I have experience with administering all types of medications and not intimidated by how big or small the job may be. My pets have always been a big part of my family and I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I do not have any animals or children. All my attention would be on your loved pet. Thank you in advance for your trust and I hope to meet you soon! My schedule is flexible and I will only accept a job that I know I will be able to fully dedicate my attention to your loved one. I have fostered puppies and kittens to adult special needs dogs so know what it takes and the attention every animal could need. The most important is they are kept safe, well fed and plenty of time for potty breaks

“I'm so glad we found Rita. It was so nice to see the dogs run right over to her and bring a toy. ROVER TESTED......DOG APPROVED 😄”

About: I have been an animal lover since I could talk but my love has become so amplified since I became a dog mom a year and a half ago. As a recent college graduate, spending time with my dog has been the most rewarding part of trying to navigate “the adult world”. My cousin runs her own dog hiking business and I’ve had the privilege to go on hikes with her client’s dogs and expand my knowledge of working with the many different needs each dog has. Additionally, I have grown up babysitting many children in my community, a lot of which have multiple dogs. Spending time with their dogs is the sweetest treat once the kids are in bed. To me, treating animals with the utmost love and respect is my greatest priority when I wake up each day. Every animal is deserving of a day filled with love and excitement. It makes my heart feel so warm knowing that I could provide care for someone’s animal while they may be busy or unable to give their pet the exercise they’d like. I have soft spots for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs just looking for company and a snuggle. I hope I can help bring some more joy into your pets life and relieve some stress for pet parents! I have a very flexible schedule in terms of work. As an actor, my schedule is often changing due to whatever show I may be working on at the time and its specific production schedule. My dog, Shamrock is my greatest joy in life so taking him is not a chore or any type of inconvenience. Shamrock comes nearly everywhere with me, which is how I prefer it anyways. I love letting him explore our community by switching up our daily walk/hike routes to keep him engaged in new sights and smells. I intend to give your pet the same experience so that everyday feels exciting. As my dog is not yet two, we actively use a pen for him to relax in during moments of high stimulation or guests. He is very comfortable going to his pen when my family’s house is loud/crowded or we have to leave for an extended period of time. He recognizes the pen as his personal safe space. I love to provide my dog with enrichment activities throughout the day to keep his brain stimulated. Whether this means tying up his dinner in a long towel for him to sniff out, or playing hide-and-seek with him within our house for treats, I love incorporating new ways to stay active and happy. Getting down and dirty with a dog has never been an issue for me, I usually dress the part if I plan to be adventurous with a dog that day. I often wonder what my neighbors are thinking as I play a version of “tackle football” with my dog in our yard. I also keep my dog socially active by having his friends over for play dates in our fenced in yard multiple times a week. Occasionally, Shamrock will also attend a local playgroup which he loves! One of my most important principals when playing with any pet is to never end a session on a bad note; to always find a way to reward them with a treat for a positive behavior. Hopefully it’s clear, using positive reinforcement is always my method of choice and I will never find myself using scare tactics or negative punishments with anyone’s beloved pet.

“Riley helped me out on short notice, was very responsive, and took great care of our animals and house while we were away. I will definitely call on her again.”

About: My old next door neighbor who is a vet tech always recommended me when she was unavailable. I've taken care of animals of all ages and size for many years, from puppies, skittish hairless dogs, 18 year old diabetic cats who need insulin to rats and guinea pigs! I even ended up adopting my two beautiful senior girls after their senior owner passed away as i was the only person they were used to and got them back to pristine health. My one dog, Brandy had bell's palsy and could no longer blink, so I had to administer her artificial tears every day. I can also administer injections as I am I certified medical assistant as well as CPR/first aid certified. I also have a wonderful new puppy named Callie who is an absolute joy! I travel the country for work so my schedule is very sporadic. Unless listed, I'm available! I am available all day for walks, potty breaks, playtime and snuggles before tucking the pups into bed!! I would love to schedule a meeting and greet beforehand to meet your fur babies to make sure we're a good fit. Plus that just means more scratches and belly rubs for me! My fur babies are my everything. I come home on lunch breaks to feed them and let them out so there is always time for potty breaks (especially since I have a senior and a puppy)! We love after-work walks and, if the weather is nice, I'll take my energetic puppy across the street to run at the track! I always start with some pets and treats when I first greet your pups! Then they get their potty break and some playtime and snuggles after!

About: I’ve cared for many cats in my life and I currently have two Bengals kittens. i’m well versed in Raw feeding and medications. I’ll play, clean litter, and cuddle with your furbabies. If you have any questions, or special requests please let me know. Thank you. 😻 I work from home and can attend basically anytime at a reasonable distance. I’m a cat person but love dogs too. Overnight stays: accommodations under construction I am able to come to your house and attend your pets. Depending on the circumstance, I may or may not be able to stay overnight. Please inquire. Special pricing for military!!!!

About: When your dog is in my care, have peace of mind that all of their needs are being thought of & tended to. Making sure that they’re comfortable, noticing & addressing any possible signs of distress & only leaving them once every box has been checked in terms of their care. No matter what the primary reason for my visit is, you can be sure that their general well-being also my priority so that you come home to a happy dog. I prefer to meet you & your dog prior to providing care, just so I’m comfortable with your dog & feel confident that I can manage the care you expect. I’m available any time of the day, on most days of the week to provide care in any capacity. My schedule right now is very open, so I’m happy to coordinate around whatever time you choose. Ensuring your dog is comfortable and content is priority. Owners know their dog best, and I’m happy to follow any care guidelines you have. I want your dog to get the same care from me as they would normally from you.

About: I am in school to become a dog trainer. I’d love to have more experience working with dogs! I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’d love to help care for your fur babies! I also work at Lead your K9 in Orwigsburg as a dog trainers assistant! I am currently doing online school and working part time. My other job is very flexible so I’ll be available any day of the week! If I have a list of what you want me to do, I will 100% follow it. I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!

“Cat was great! We have 3 dogs, each with their own challenging personalities, but Cat handled them all like a charm. Followed all our directions, and communicated quickly and clearly. Will definitely be using again!!”

About: I grew up with dogs from the age of 10. I am often called the pet whisperer by family and friends because their pets often do things they don't normally do with people they don't know well. I have a very flexible schedule and will be able to accommodate the needs of the pets to walk and feed take care of them from daily to weekly where needed. At this time I do not have any yard space or ability to have pets stay with me at my house. I am willing to stay at the pet owners home if needed or stop by for their care needs.

About: Hi, I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I volunteered and assisted at my local shelter from 2014 - 2017. I helped in the rehabilitation of about sixty animals to their furever home. I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor. I can also assist with teaching various tricks and commands with lots of patience. In my home, your dog will be safe, have a designated play area that is fenced off inside and a huge fenced yard while outside. If your pet is uncomfortable, I will do my best to make them feel right at home, they will have my undivided attention.

About: I have about 8 years of training experience from The Seeigng Eye. I gained knowledge on training puppies from 7 weeks old to 2 years old their basic obedience and how to behave in public. Aside from this I’ve had my fair share of crazy pet tales from my 5 dogs and 3 cats. I’m used to some chaos! I work a super early shift so I’m usually out by the time some people take lunch! Need an afternoon potty break or a weekend sleepover, you got it! I have 5 very friendly dogs and a yard! I’m soon moving into a new house with 3 dogs and a fully fenced in yard so more is to come!
