About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time

About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs, our friends dogs, and our own dogs for as long as i can remember. I love animals. I grew up having all different animals in the house, so I have much experience with them, and would love to take care of other local fur friends. I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible! I am available any day of the week for drop ins, and walks. Whichever you prefer! I care for fur friends in others homes by always keeping their animals safe, fed, and loved as if their owner was there with them.

About: I'm a big dog owner for 20 + years. Had labs, pit bull mixes, rottweiler and a golden retriever, etc. Love dogs...they are so sweet and loving. Love to walk them and play with them. UPDATE- I now have a dog of my own. A lab/husky mix named Bo. He is about 3 and LOVES to play. He is dog friendly and LOVES people. He is 55 lbs. I work FT at home in Laurence Harbor (part of Old Bridge). I can board your dog(s) for you at my home. I have plenty of dog toys. I have a good sized fenced in yard with a 6ft vinyl fence. I love to walk dogs, play ball, cuddle and spoil all the dogs I watch. If you are looking for dog walking or dog sitting at your home, I can mostly only do that evenings or weekends. I can board your dog at my home 7 days a week. Drop in visits/dog walking or dog sitting at your home is evenings and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. Love to take dogs for walks and play fetch in the house and my yard.

Bethany is a really wonderful sitter, and person! She has been so easy to communicate with, reliable, accommodating and caring. Our dog has been anxious in his new home and very sick lately, but he felt super comfortable with her. Her boyfriend Jason who also is on Rover joined her for this visit, and the both of them bonded so well with our dog. We are so excited to work with them moving forward!

About: With over six years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked for three pet sitting companies, the MCSPCA, and at the same kennel twice. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and countless other animals—big and small—with love, patience, and reliability. Growing up surrounded by animals shaped my deep passion for their well-being, and I’m committed to treating every pet like family. 💞🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, as I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. That means I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pet. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the week and weekends, and I’m happy to help with holiday or last-minute bookings. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, so this never feels like “work” to me—it’s something I look forward to every day!! :) I grew up with dogs and have been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I always follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and strive to make every visit calm, fun, and stress-free. Whether it’s a big, energetic pup or a shy senior cat, I have experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities ♥︎

About: My husband and I both grew up with several dogs in our homes as children, and while we have no children of our own, our fur baby is a ten month old Shih-Poo, whose name is "Reesie". Reesie is the sweetest boy, who loves to cuddle, play, and run outside in the dog park! I'm currently a stay at home fur mom, and typically take our pup for walks every few hours! My husband and I take him to a park several nights a week after dinner to allow him time to exercise and play! There is a fenced in dog park here at our apartment complex, and we are willing to adapt to your pup's needs if a crate is necessary.
