About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. From training puppies (& lots of walks) to caring for aging dogs. I’ve enjoyed it all. I’m a stay at home mom to teenagers. I am happy to spend my time at home taking great care of your pet family members. We love having your pet in our home, but I do not take more than one or two pets at a time (1 family) and I don’t take boarding or care request that are more than two weeks long. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also take care of pets in your home, but only full overnight on Friday & Saturday.
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
About: Ive cared for my own pets and many friends pets mainly dogs throughout my life. From puppies to senior dogs. Never met one I didnt love. I run my own small planning firm so my schedule is very flexible. I am available during the week day or night for walks and pet care. I am happy to come to your home and play with your fur baby and also attend to any of his or her needs, feeding walking petting medication.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and I have also taken care of people’s animals my entire life. From walking, sitting, feeding, I’ve done it all. Family, friends, and even strangers rely on me for their pets needs to be met safely and with love. I’m a student at Kean Ocean, and the pet sitting will be my side gig. I will be in school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the day time. I can easily crate dogs, and I can also play with them in fenced in yards. I am very careful with doors and gates to ensure no accidental escapes can occur, as well.
“I originally had a trusted friend coming to take care of our cats while we went away who cancelled the night before we left! I contacted Sheli and she was able to come at the last minute! We were so relieved. She communicated well with us and checked in every day with pictures of our kitty. She was honest and took care of some things around the house for us that I didn’t expect, like bringing in the mail and deliveries. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”
About: Thank you for reading my profile! I have over 20 years of experience with dogs. Throughout my life I have owned bulldogs and a chiweenie. Currently, I manage a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have handled all size dogs and love them all equally. While I do work full time, I am able to schedule walks, boarding, or pet sitting around my work schedule. I can't wait to meet your pup! While I do currently work full-time, I am able to work around that schedule with notice for overnight stays. I can be available any morning or evening for a check in or walk. Most weekends I am free. I know your fur baby is very important to you and we can discuss any safety or environmental concerns that you may have. When I walk pups I generally double leash for extra safety. I have no issues with pets on my furniture and I have a beautiful deck they can relax on in the sun. I am very organized and will follow any detailed instructions you leave for me.
“Marissa was absolutely wonderful! She came when expected and took really great care of our Willow girl. She communicated with pictures and updates which eased our minds so much! We definitely will be booking with her again, highly recommend!”
“Patty was an excellent drop-in sitter. She was punctual with feedings and put me as ease with the details messages and multiple pictures taken. I will use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi! I’m Lisa. Thank you for checking out my profile . . . I love all animals. Big or small, thin or chubby, hairy or hairless, ugly or cute doesn’t matter to me one bit. I just love them all. If forced to choose my favorite type of animal, I would have to go with dogs. Ironically, I own 2 cats (Herbie & Finster) that prefer a nap over a walk any day. I am looking forward to adopting a dog from a local rescue at some point. In the meantime, I have several friends that know that they can count on me to take care of their furry friends when they are out of town. Since I am very active, I enjoy having a four-legged friend to walk with. Whether it’s on the boardwalk, the beach, or just around the neighborhood it’s all fine with me. Of course, I am always down for cuddle time or brushing.
