Dog Sitting Martinsville

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Before fostering cats, I fostered dogs and I even had two “foster fails!” My two sweet pitties stole my heart and became permanent members of my family. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous cats and kittens, including seniors, shy cats, and young babies. Fostering has taught me that every pet is unique, and I love taking the time to build trust, help them feel safe, and provide care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications when needed, but my greatest strength is creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax and be themselves. My professional background has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to detail, and I bring those qualities to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family. You can also count on regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry baby is happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s schedule consistent. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: I am a 24 year old Graduate Student at Rutgers University and have been taking care of neighborhood and personal pets since I was 10! Not only have I taken care of animals in a home setting, but I have 2 years of experience in caring for animals in a veterinary setting as a veterinary assistant. I am happy to assist in any sort of special care that your pet might need - I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes! I currently have two cats of my own that I take care of myself full-time and would love the chance to love your pet as much as you do! I currently work as a graduate student in a research lab at Rutgers University! I am very flexible and will communicate the exact times I will be caring for your pets :) I only offer services that take place in the client's home/neighborhood as I have two animals of my own! I am flexible with walk times and really enjoy nature so I am happy to take dogs for lengthy walks. I am also appreciative of any type of animal love so couch potatoes are great for me as well! I am very diligent about making sure that animals are safe with me. I ensure that when entering the home, I greet the animal gently and let them come to me. I will never push the boundaries of an animal or add stress to their home environment. I also am very detail oriented, and will make sure that your animal gets everything they need.

“2nd time that Madeline take Honey for walks and refill the food/water bowls. We really appreciate the extra care and belly rugs, Honey easily gets along with Madeline and enjoy spending time with her. Totally recommended!”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life, from months old to 14 years old. I’ve managed medication schedules and walking routines multiple times a day for a senior dog with special care needs. I’m comfortable with everything from small, calm dogs to big, hyper ones. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of any age. I’m home from college right now, so I have plenty of flexibility to play with your pups! I’m available for drop-ins and walks on weekends and weekdays, including daytime hours. I can accommodate flexible scheduling throughout the week depending on what you need. My whole house has been set up with our dogs in mind, so your pup will be just as safe and comfortable as at home. I have secure gates and safe spaces to keep dogs contained when needed, along with plenty of room to play. When caring for your dog, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, given regular bathroom breaks and walks, and supervised closely at all times. I hold every dog in our care to the same standard of attention and love that I give my own.

About: I have always been around cats and dogs my whole life and have taken care of both before. I love being able to bond with a pet! Hi there! I am new to NJ as I just moved from VA. I work hybrid 9-5 Mon-Fri, and my days in person vary every week, so my availability depends on my job! I am available on weekends- time doesn't really matter for me unless I have something planned but letting me know ahead of time works best! In my home with my cat I always make sure he's fed with a clean box and tons of pets ready for him when he isn't asleep and many toys for him that he loves. The same goes for anyone else's pet I am responsible for!

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs. I have also pet sat both cats and dogs. I currently have 1 cat, Fluffy, and hope to get a dog once I move somewhere a bit more spacious. I've worked with a variety of dogs and cats, both young and old, and also helped my fiancee as she pet sat in the past. I'd love take care of your furry friend while you're away! I work from home so I have plenty of availability for drop in visits and I can make overnights work pretty often as well. I have my own cat that I take care of so I'm pretty used to a routine. I can keep you updated with lots of pictures and updates on how your pet is doing while you're away. Also happy to handle many special requests and take extra steps to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

“Great drop in! Hiral was very quick in responses and went out of her way to take videos and photos of my pet during her visit. Swiftly did all tasks and overall great experience.”

“Cameron watched our golden retriever, Millie while we were away for a week. She took such great care of her and was responsible with our home. We received several photos each visit and updates. We would definitely book her again!”

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I currently have a very free schedule, as I am in the summer before I start law school (I am trying to relax as much as possible before). When I begin my studies at the end of August, I will be available on weekends for boarding requests. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.

About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician and have extensive pet sitting experience. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!

About: Growing up, my family and I lived on a small farm with tons of animals, including horses, cows, chickens, cats, and of course, little dogs. I was taught from a very young age that any living thing should be respected and treated properly. Puppies and kittens have been in my life for as long as I can remember, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Pet care is part of our everyday routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day. We have a fully fenced yard that’s just under half an acre, and my kids and I spend a lot of time outside playing with our pets. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and love every day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and always make their safety and comfort a priority.

About: I'm new to Rover but definitely not new to doggos! I've been around dogs my entire life. We had a soft coated wheaten growing up, and I rescued a lab mix when I was in college about 8 years ago. As a sole caretaker of a dog, I know how to read dogs' body language extremely well and can adjust my behavior accordingly. I've also babysat/walked friends' dogs throughout my young adult life so I'm very experienced in caring for puppers of all shapes, sizes and attitudes :) I am a middle school teacher on summer vacation so my schedule is open for all your dog walking and sitting needs! Book with me! If you have any special instructions regarding your pups walk, just let me know and I can follow them! If they need to be crated that's no problem, and can leave them with fresh food and water if need be! Whatever will make them more comfy :)

About: I recently was a manager at an interactive aquarium and petting zoo. I’ve also had experience with multiple different types of animals for 10 plus years. I love being outdoors so your furry friend and I will get along great! I’m currently searching for a part time job so I have ample time for all your furry friend’s needs. I like to be physically active and go on walks daily so I would enjoy having a companion to go with. I am available for pet sitting in your home, as well as daily dog walks. My skills include feeding, medications, bathing and grooming, excersizing, and playing. I am also willing to help with any additional services you may require.

“Michael was an amazing cat sitter to our 3 indoor boys and took care of our 1 feral lady outside! He was there everyday we were gone at the boys “dinner time” without fail! I received adorable photos of the belly rubs and even my shy guy came out for treats! That’s a testament to the animal person Michael is! When we returned home from our vacation the house was exactly how we left it and the boys had plenty of food and water. Their boxes were clean and the area was tidy. We will absolutely be using Michael’s services again!”

About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)

“Sara was the ideal pet sitter. She took great care of our dog while we were away. She provided daily photos and videos to keep us informed at all times. Sara is professional, kind and thorough. She followed all instructions and was simply wonderful to work with. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities.

I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.
