“Christina did a great job looking after our two dogs and our home while we were away in vacation for a week. We were very, very pleased and impressed with her work, and would highly recommend Christina as a trustworthy and kind pet and house sitter.”

About: I've taken care of mutiple dogs with different disabilities to dogs with high energy and needs lots of play time. Depending on the age and activity it can handle depends my routine with them. If its a puppy, I will make sure to follow the guidelines set and to practice its skill to not collect bad habits. I am currently a leasing agent. My time spent with any pet will be the same. I will designate my days off to this app to help fellow neighbors Each situation is different depending on housing if it has a fence or how the dog is with people and other dogs. My main concern is being there if the dog needs to go to the bathroom or its daily walks. Then when its an over night visit. I make sure the dog knows its safe until the owner is home. If it were to come to my home I would ensure it is comfortable with the enviornment and bring toys and treats to help the dog settle in.
About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!
“Sheli was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and home! She gave daily updates on how everything was going with the dogs, as well as pictures. She was truly so helpful to us and allowed us to relax on vacation knowing the dogs were in such great care! 10/10 recommend!”

About: ** NOTE: At this time I am only boarding Hypoallergenic dogs, such as Poodles, Bichon Frises, Maltese, and Portuguese Water Dogs, Yorkshire Terriers, etc. While no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, there are many breeds labeled as such. ** I can walk and care for dogs in owner's home of any breed. Love and respect animals of all kinds. Long-time dog owner...all of which have lived beyond life expectancy. Simply put, I have a good rapport with almost every dog I have come in contact with. Any size. Any breed. On the most basic level I am kind, trustworthy, and honest. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with dog owners own schedule. Flexible pet care would not be an issue for me as I can be available day and night. I have a pet-friendly home and I have a large expanse of woods behind my house with trails. Pets under my care would always be on a leash unless in a fenced yard.
About: What sets me apart is my reliable, loving care that puts pets first. I’m experienced with giving medications, following each pet’s unique routine, and making sure they get plenty of outdoor time and attention. I treat every animal like family—with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes weekends work best right now. I can work around days as well. I can easily follow whatever instructions are left for me. My home is fenced in and has gates so your pet getting out wouldn’t be a problem.
“Jennifer was great! Our little girl, Dash, recently got spayed and we needed someone to watch her for one night who could keep her calm and happy. Dash was immediately comfortable with Jennifer and we received lots of pics and updates. Would def recommend!”

“First off, let me say from a very anxious dog mama to leave her babies, Rover made this entire experience seamless and very professional. Kasper was a godsend. Kasper took the time to meet my dogs prior to the booking. Kasper took every concern I had and made sure it was addressed. Not only did Kasper communicate through the whole booking, I received pictures upon pictures of my dogs. There was not one point in my time away when I didn’t know what was happening at my home and felt 100% secure. Kasper was beyond kind and loving to my dogs and I will definitely be using Kasper again. Anybody that needs someone to come and stay with your dogs in your own home, Kasper‘s the best. 150% satisfied and 200% endorse booking with Kasper!!”

About: I love dogs more than anything in this world and they are definitely what I am most passionate about. Since I recently lost my dog, Iam trying to become more involved with helping other dogs. Even if it’s just a few walks a week, I will always treat your dog as if it’s my own. Keeping your dog safe, healthy and happy is my number one priority. I will also take the time to personally get to know your dog and make him/her feel like they’re the only dog in the world! If you have any questions please feel free; thanks! Weekends I am free so that’s never an issue. My work schedule is Monday-Friday 7:00-3:30 in Bayville at Ocean County Utilities Authority. I can help out with your dog anytime after 4 during the week or even in the morning if I’m done by 6:30. I can always help out at noon too as I am on my break. Sometimes I can miss out on work too like I have for clients in the past as I have the time, so don’t be afraid to ask; I’m always easy to deal with! I live in a residential neighborhood near the water in Lanoka Harbor. My house is located on a long secluded street as there are no other houses. I can walk your dog however long you’d like and will even take them anywhere you might feel more safe if I happen to come to your neighborhood. I’ve walked my dogs multiple times a day throughout the years and have been lucky so far never having any issues. I hope to gain more trust and respect from both you and your dog after each walk!
About: I have always lived with dogs and cats and consider them family members who should feel cared about, every moment of the day and night I make my own hours driving for a car service.

“Marissa babysat my dog for two nights and took great care of my big boy! She listened to all my instructions and made sure he got his daily Dasquin. I felt comfortable knowing she was going to hang by his side for the majority of the stay. I’ll def use her again in the future.”

“Rita was an amazing cat sitter! She provided regular updates and photos of our fur baby. Our house was in great condition when we returned. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be booking with Rita again :)”

About: I’ve had 3 cats and 2 dogs in my lifetime. One of the dogs was a foster and I spent a lot of time training him and preparing him for his forever home. I currently have one cat who is a Tabby and his name is Gus! I’m currently a full-time student at Stockton University. I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 3 and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 1. I also work at a Doggy Daycare called Pampered Pets on Fridays from 12-6. I have a free schedule on the weekends. Since my services are only drop-in visits and walks I will do my best to make sure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of.
About: Hello I have many years of experience with all different types of animal varying through snakes and Lizards- horses and cows.

I am available for board from Monday to Thursday Anytime I am very understanding and patient with animals so if they are brand new to me or my home and is scared or timid of their surroundings I know how to care for them.
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: Hello! My name is Kaity. I am 34 years old and have been a pet owner since I was 12! My own beautiful and wonderful dog’s name is Maya. My younger sister has two dogs herself, named Lukas and Riley. Though Maya is my princess, Lukas is for real my best friend. He is a reactive dog and I have worked so hard with him and with myself to remain calm and patient. I have worked to understand how to manage Lukas’s reactions because I don’t want him to feel stressed. Similarly, my younger sister’s second dog, Riley, gets injured very frequently and has allergies that have at time left her immobile. My own dog, Maya, is more like a cat but she has still taught me so much about patience, love, and joy! I have a large amount of experience working with dogs just through the three mentioned above but I have also watched the dogs of friends and family members. I truly enjoy working for the connection between myself and the dog I’m walking or checking in on! I have found, that for me, patience, awareness, and remaining calm are my BEST tools in taking care of the dog I’m in charge of and also making sure me and those around me are safe. I am available all throughout the holiday season to watch, walk, and do house visits for your animals! Please contact me and we can setup a meet and greet to see how things go! I hope to hear from y’all soon! I am currently a full time Dog and Cat care taker. Unfortunately I was laid off, as were so many others, in the beginning of 2023. It truly impacted my mental health and my future plans changes abruptly. What got me through it all were my own dogs! Now I’m using my years of experience and trying to pay it forward in some small way to make sure our pets get the empathy, love, and care they deserve from us… just as my dogs showed me empathy, kindness, and compassion… I want to make sure any pet in my care gets those same things from me! I will do a tiny or extensive meet and greet with a pet prior to just going on a walk. I want them to feel safe. They don’t have to love me, but I do want them to feel they are in good hands. I may even continue the meet and greet and continue to build trust throughout a walk. For me, it’s a two way thing. I have to honor the pet if I expect them to honor me. If I’m at a clients home and the notes say to let the dog(s) in the backyard, I always check a fenced in backyard for gaps or openings prior to letting a pet out. I also have reflective collars that simply Velcro around the pet if I am walking them or caring for them while outside at night. Accidents rarely happen but if they do, I want full visibility of your loved one!
About: Beyond walks: I offer expert care for your dog, day and night! I offer tailored adventures and stress-free overnights, ensuring a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pup. My part-time employment allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for your dogs. I offer boarding services and walks through our the week and weekends! I prioritize your dog's safety and comfort above all else. My property features a fully fenced yard for playtime and fun, plus lots of love.
