House Sitting Oakhurst

“Kelsey was on time and kept my dog entertained and happy. She gave him his medication. My house was exactly as I left it. I would recommend Kelsey.”

“Tori was so amazing with my fur babies. I have a very large nervous dog and she was so patient with him letting him get to know her in his space. She took great care of my animals and my house while I was away on business travel. I would highly recommend her.”

“Jessica is an awesome pet sitter! Jessica is great with dogs, she kept us updated, and allowed us to have a fantastic time, knowing our dogs and our cat were in such good hands.”

“I’m glad we found Laurel. She took great care of our Gipper. Giving medication to a cat isn’t easy, but it seemed the two bonded right away and Gipper received great care. We look forward to Laurel taking care of our little ones in the future!”

About: Hi there! My name is Kristin and I have a lifelong passion for all animals. Growing up on a horse farm, I was surrounded by various animals and always had cats and dogs as pets. Outside of having pets growing up, I have helped out friends and family members with dog, cat, and house sitting for them over the past 10+ years. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ranging from big breeds such as Pitbulls and Boxers to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Jack Russells. I care for all animals with all my heart and your pets will be in loving hands with me! I work full time in Monmouth county, so weekends would be ideal for me. However, if your pet doesn't need to go out as frequently, I can definitely help out during the week. I am typically out of the house between 10am-6pm, so I can play with/walk/feed them before or after those times. Weekends are totally open for me so I can do whatever your pet needs. In my client's home, I will follow their typical routine and do whatever they do to care for their pets. I always respect their home and make sure I leave it as clean as possible.

About: Hi, I'm Robin. I currently work as a nurse but have 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician at various animal hospitals.I was Fear Free certified at the last animal hospital I worked at and have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I grew up owning dogs and cats all of my life and I have been a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter since I was 16 years old. I currently share my home with my rescue dog, Riley and three cats, Willow, Julius, and Chase. I have off from work on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays so I am available anytime but also willing to do the occasional walk/drop in on evenings after work. I have a lot of experience walking my dog as I am in an apartment so I walk her frequently and a lot of experience walking other dogs in all kinds of settings.

“Claudia is a rockstar! My dog is pretty high maintenance when it comes to walks, as she’s reactive on the leash. But Claudia handled her very well, and made me feel much more at ease while I was away. If you need a wonderful dog sitter, Claudia is your girl! 🙌”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

About: I was raised alongside litters of puppies and my life has revolved around animals ever since. My family consistently had 8-10 dogs in our home, ranging from big dogs like labs or American bulldogs to smaller dogs like French bulldogs or terrier mixes. Since I was in elementary school, I was tasked with feeding, grooming, walking and playing with all of our dogs. As an adult, I've helped my parents out in watching their many dogs (my dad has 12!) when they are out of town and pet-sitting for friends and family. I adopted my own two cats, who I've had since they were kittens, and love them with almost my whole heart - I have two ferrets that take up some space in my heart too. Ferrets are notoriously difficult pets to take care of, so if I can handle them and all their energy & mischief, I think I'm prepared to take care of just about any creature. I have been conscientious, responsible and caring for my own pets and I promise I'll treat yours the same way :) I work 9-5 on a hybrid schedule but, as a manager, I have flexibility in terms of remote work — I can always change my schedule around to accommodate yours! I need advanced notice for overnight bookings, as I commute into the city twice a week. I can always switch my-in office days with enough of a head's up, so please reach out if my current calendar availability doesn't align with yours! We may be able to work something out. Unfortunately, I know the feeling of coming home from a trip and realizing that some little things were unattended to by a friend I'd trusted with my pets: the water fountain was half full, the litter box hadn't been scooped in a few days, their 24/7 bird streaming YouTube video wasn't on (lol). Of course my pets were still fed, but it didn't feel like they were cared for the same way I would have. I promise that won't happen if I am entrusted with your pet. I am very good at noticing and handling those little details, even if you forgot to mention them, because that's what I would want. That said, I am great at following pet-care instructions, and I'll surely feed, walk, play with (and love) your furry friend according to the schedule you set out.

“Kaelah came through for me the same day another sitter canceled! She followed all instructions given and made me feel comfortable choosing the house sitting option. Usually my dog gets sad when I’m away and he seemed to do pretty well with Kaelah watching him. I would use her again if needed!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. I have two dogs, a cat, and a bunny, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I currently work as a substitute teacher and will be attending medical school next year, giving me a flexible schedule and extra time that I’d love to spend caring for your animals. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and happy to tailor my care to what makes your pet most comfortable—whether that means an active walk, playtime, or simply some extra company and attention while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher during school hours, which gives me a flexible schedule outside of the school day. I’m available for early morning and afternoon/evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with additional flexibility on weekends and days I’m not teaching. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will closely follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or special care. I’m patient, responsible, and respectful of your home, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they’re in my care.

About: As an EMT and pet owner, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm when unexpected situations arise. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets and home while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, meals, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and plenty of affection while following your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide! I work longer shifts 4 days each week, which gives me 3 full days off each week to dedicate to pet care. My availability varies by day, but I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully accommodate. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on the dates and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and any household rules you provide. As an EMT, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm if something unexpected happens. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Emily was a wonderful dog sitter! My rescue dog has a lot of anxiety and Emily was terrific with her from the beginning. In addition, I had to extend my trip twice and Emily was very helpful and worked with me. I highly recommend her!”

“Having a strong connection with my boys, I hoped to find someone who could empathize. Rachel empathized and cared for my nervous lab and demanding staffy for 9 days. But more importantly she took time to get to know my guys and me. They were walked, cared for (during a storm, and late evening). The care Rachel provided helped me to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you, Rachel”

About: I have been taking care of dogs/animals since my family brought home our first dog, a rescue, named Tank. From Tank, we brought home Snowy (a white German Shepard). My parents instilled in me from a very young age that I would have to help take care of our pets to not only learn responsibility, but also to truly love our pets by showing how to take care of them and so much more. We also had a few cats when I was growing up that I loved so much even though I didn't think I was a car person LOL! I took our dogs for walks, helped give them baths, and fed them on their schedules. I also went with my father to training with our dogs to thoroughly learn demands and how to approach our pets at a young age. My grandmother was also a pet sitter and when I lived with her few a short time I assisted with the dogs she would have at her home whenever she needed my assistance-walking, feeding, and sometimes bathing. Now, my husband and I are the parents to the most crazy, adorable, and full of life goldendoodles, Roman & Tukker! They have changed my life in more ways than I can describe! They are literally our children, and know it! 😅Having your own pupper is something so indescribably special and rewarding. We have self-trained them with commands- sit, stay, paw, in the crate. I hope to be trusted the way I was trusted growing up, and now with my own, with your family member I can safely assume is your everything as my boys are for me! Thank you for reading a little about me! I am flexible to work with your schedule! I am available M-F, and can work together with you if weekend availability is required! I'm here for YOU-let's work together to give you a stress-free experience and give your fur baby the best time while you are away! I will care for your baby the way I care for mine- with love, compassion, pets, and many walks/play time! Whatever your dog/animal needs I will follow your/their routine! My pups go for many walks a day (don't worry that won't interfere with me caring for yours!), eats 3 times a days around the schedule we have prepared for them at home, and we take them to the local tennis court in my neighborhood turned dog park to play fetch and get energy out! They LOVE car rides best of all! Let me show you and your fur baby the best!

“We are repeat clients and will continue to be! Our dogs love Christina and she does an amazing job with them!! We are grateful to know they’re in good hands!!”

About: Hi! I am a holistic minded health care worker (integrative pharmacist & functional health coach) and I love dogs. My senior dog recently passed from cancer so I have experience in caring for senior dogs with special needs (frequent feedings, giving medicine, frequent symptom monitoring, glucose fluctuations, liver supportive care, etc). I have a Shih Tzu puppy (1yo) and it’s been the greatest joy watching her grow, I’m teaching her lots of tricks, she knows 15 already! I’m happy to try and teach your dog tricks too :) she is very friendly and submissive if you are looking for a companion to or to socialize your dog. I work part time and remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible for playtime and walkies! I have a Shih Tzu puppy that can come along & we love long walks on the beach or around town :) I have a Shih Tzu puppy who is treated like the royalty that she is 😂. I love all animals and treat them with love, care, and respect. My girl is playful and submissive and gets along beautifully with all animals, in case your pet is looking for a companion or socialization!

“Bryan did a great job dog sitting Mikey. We had to cut our trip early due to the snow storm and Bryan was very flexible and took so much stress off our plate. Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip - especially dog owners like me who often stress about finding the right person for their pup!”
