We are looking forward to meeting other furry friends, whether it is at our house or yours. We have sixteen years experience in caring for our dogs, as well as pet-sitting for friends' and family's dogs and other pets.

“Sheryl was amazing with our girls. They love her. She arrived 2 times each day as planned and took care of our girls as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend her and we will use her again when needed.”

About: I grew up with a Shih Tzu and helped take of her. My sister has another Shih Tzu now that I dogsit often. Absolutely love small dogs and can give them all the love and attention they need. I work full-time, but I work from home 2 days a week. I live and work in Asbury, so if I dogsit in town I can easily go during lunch breaks to take the dog out. Otherwise, when I know I am dogsitting I will make sure to not make other plans so that my full presence can be with the dog. I would learn the norms of the home and what the dog needs to feel comfortable and safe by having a thorough conversation and observing the dog in their habitat. I will do my best to respect the dog and their parents’ environment.

About: Hi! I recently took a short break from Rover while undergoing treatment for breast cancer—I’m doing great now and really looking forward to getting back to what I love: spending time with animals! I’ve been caring for pets since my early teens and have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. One of the most memorable chapters of my life was working on a TV show filmed at an animal sanctuary, where I helped care for a crew of 99 animals—everything from dogs and cats to kangaroos and lemurs. Over the years, I’ve also volunteered at shelters and fostered both dogs and cats, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all ages, energy levels, and special needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy senior, or anything in between, I’m comfortable providing gentle, attentive care. I am completely flexible! Even on holidays! Currently on leave from my film industry career, I have the freedom to dedicate ample time and attention to your lil buddies. I'm currently responsible for the well-being of a diverse fur family, which includes one dog and two kitties. Meticulously, I manage their feeding and bathroom schedules, keeping track of their unique dietary needs and allergies, ensuring that they never get the wrong meal. Beyond the basics, I offer hours of stimulating walks, playtime, and cozy cuddles. However, I always remember that when it comes to your pets, the pet parents are the ultimate bosses. Your instructions and preferences guide my care, ensuring that your furry companions receive the love and attention they deserve.

She is definitely an animal lover!! And it shows. Karin asked all of the necessary questions and planned everything ahead of the visit from playtime to walks and food. We felt very secure and confident leaving our two pups with Karin. We knew they were in good hands.

About: I became a cat lover later in life, taking in a stray after a snow storm on Christmas day. Prior to that I was a self-described dog person. Now, I love cats and dogs equally as they both have special traits. I've had two family dogs during my childhood, and two during adulthood. I've dog-sat for a friend's senior dog during their summer vacations, and I've cat-sat for my sister's family cat, feeding, administering insulin shots, and giving him a little love. I trained my parents' nervous rescue dog to walk on a leash (taking months of patience!). I would love to walk or sit your family pet while you're at work, away for the weekend, or on vacation. As a school teacher, my summer schedule is flexible. For the summer, I have a flexible schedule and I can accommodate various times. We can work out a schedule based on your pet's needs. I can care for your cat in your home or in my home (I have one friendly mature cat). I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, or dog sit in your home.

“Alexandra is great. She was on time and my dog who is usually shy to most warmed up immediately. Highly recommend!!”
