House Sitting in Manahawkin

“I have to admit I was a bit nervous leaving Seva in the care of someone we had just met. But from our very first meeting, I felt comfortable with Chris. He has a calming, grounded presence and was immediately attentive—and most importantly, Seva approved! Throughout the entire process, Chris was communicative, responsive, and made every detail feel easy. While I was traveling, he kept me at ease with timely responses and updates. I came home to a happy pup, a well-watered garden, and a clean, tidy house that looked just as I left it. I’m so grateful for the care and intention Chris brought to every part of his time with Seva. Highly recommend. Thanks ~ Theresa and Seva”

“Stephanie loved my girls as if they were her own. They were well cared for, our home was perfect and as we met on the way out she has a calming and relaxing smile. Stephanie will be one of our family now ??”

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.

“Flynn was very happy that he had Olivia to take care of him. Olivia was diligent in keeping us posted on how Flynn was, as well as sending pictures every day. She took care of everything, including our home, which was exactly how we left it. We will definitely have her again to watch Flynn.”

About: Hi! I'm Liv, a lifelong animal lover with a gentle heart and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior cat, or anything in between, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when someone else is caring for your furry family member. That’s why I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where your pet can thrive while you're away. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or sticking to their usual routine, I tailor care to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’d love to meet you and your pet to see if we’re a good fit! While I work full time, I have plenty of available hours after my regular shifts or on days where I have work from home capability! I do not currently care for pets within my home. In client’s homes, I operate with care and caution and do my best to keep everyone happy!

“Kelsey is amazing! She is professional, punctual, & so caring. We were going overseas on vacation & I was nervous to be away from our pets/house for that long, but Kelsey immediately put my fears to rest. She kept us updated & was available & responsive for whatever we needed. My 2 cats are notoriously anxious & don’t do well when they are left alone & we came home to happy, healthy, calm pets this time. I can’t recommend her highly enough, Kelsey is fantastic!”

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I have over two years of experience working at Lucky’s, an animal boarding facility. There, I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I dealt with puppies, seniors, and those with anxiety. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, giving medications, and handling high energy or anxious dogs. What sets me apart is my professional background combined with a genuine love for animals. I know how to read dog behavior, respond calmly in any situation, and make sure each pup feels safe and cared for. I treat every dog like family and always strive to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8–5, but I’m fully available on weekends and evenings. I make sure to give pets the attention and care they need before and after work, and I’m especially flexible on weekends for walks, playtime, or overnight care. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize making pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I won’t be able to care for pets in my home, as I have an anxious beagle that does not do well with other dogs. As for my clients home, I will follow your instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and comfortable. I’ll provide fresh food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and keep you updated with messages or photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to treat your pet like family and make your home their happy, calm space.

About: Hello! I have been loving and caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I am a certified NJ teacher, but unfortunately have had to leave the classroom due to various medical conditions. I taught middle and high school English and coached girls soccer & basketball. While I can no longer teach full-time, I still love being in a caregiver role, especially with animals. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets in a comprehensive and holistic manner for two decades now. I would be honored to help care for your little loved ones and help give you peace of mind while you’re away, at work, or in need of an extra set of loving hands. Because I can no longer work full time due to my medical conditions, I am available weekdays and weekends, including holidays! I am comfortable doing feedings, walks (including to parks if allowed by owner), medication administration, baths, litter boxes, and of course lots of snuggling. I am incredibly detail oriented and I live by “leave every place you go better than how you found it.” I respect clients’ spaces and privacy. I love to help tidy up and clean as well, as long as clients feel comfortable with that. I have a calm, empathetic demeanor that animals seem drawn to.

About: I've cared for various breeds of dogs over the years. From small dogs to MASSIVE ones, I've seen it all! I love going on walks, so your pups will always get tons of attention and daily exercise! I am available for most of my services Sundays through Wednesdays. I could also do a morning visit or walk anytime before 11am on Thursdays! I always make sure that friends/client's animals get lots of attention. I let them out to use the bathroom at least twice per visit. If any accidents/unexpected things occur, I will let you know right away!

“Cat was great. She played with our little dog and took care of her while we were out. She even helped us resolve a delivery issue that arose. I’d highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle since I was 10 years old! What started as helping out neighbors has grown into a lifelong passion for animal care. For over 10 years, friends and family have trusted me with their most important family members because they know I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. From high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Whether your pup needs a high-intensity play session or a calm companion to lounge with, I adapt my energy to what they need most. Pet care is my full-time career, so your pets are my #1 priority. Because I don't have a typical 9-to-5, I have a completely flexible schedule. I’m available for mid-day walks, early morning feedings, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or constant companionship throughout the day, I can be there. In your home: I strictly follow your pet's existing routine to keep them comfortable. I am vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping harmful items out of reach. In my home: I have two pet-friendly setups. Depending on your pet's personality, I can host them in a lively home with my two friendly dogs for socializing, or in my second pet-free home if they prefer a quiet, one-on-one environment. Outdoors: I never let dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and always do a quick 'paws-check' on the pavement to ensure it’s not too hot for a walk."

About: I began my dog walking service at a young age and have been handling animals ever since. My experience spans from dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from Boston Terriers, Miniature Pinschers to Pit Bulls and European Dobermans. I am skilled in administering medications, supporting senior dogs including with nerve damage, and caring for animals with severe anxiety or high energy needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to thoughtfully creating a personalized, designed daily experience for every animal—prioritizing safety, structure, their enrichment, and genuine care. I work part time which allows me to fully attend to your pup. i have flexible availability during the week and will gladly work with your schedule as needed. In a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own- keeping it clean, orderly, and aligned with the dog’s familiar routine to ensure comfort and continuity. I maintain a calm, clean and structured environment which provides a close supervised setting tailored to each dog’s needs. I follow all owner instructions precisely, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and behavioral guidelines. Dogs in my care are never left unattended or put near unsafe situations as they are always secured during walks with properly fitted leashes and harnesses. I conduct controlled, mindful walks being awareness of surroundings, other animals, and traffic. For dogs with anxiety, medical conditions, or special needs, I provide gentle handling, quiet spaces, and consistent routines to reduce stress.

I won’t show up feed, clean and leave. I will make sure they get their interaction and play, just like I would want for my high energy pets. *Doggy day care: rate based on a full day, please reach out for shorter time as Rover doesn’t allow to adjust per hour.
