About: I’ve watched multiple dogs at once all my life, making sure they get all the attention and love they need. I also love to just walk around so your babies will get the exercise they need. I’m free most hours Sunday through Thursday. Saturday and Friday get a little iffy but I’m sure I can work stuff out. I work part time so most of my day would be spent caring for your dogs. I will play with your dog walk them as long as they need. I’ll let them out and make sure they are as safe as they can be.

About: I have had many pet’s growing up and always love taking care of, playing, and having fun with my dogs. As of last year I started giving my time to a near by boarding and day care kennel and have absolutely loved it!!! I am currently a graduate student and working an internship which allows me to care for animals in the mornings and late afternoons. The days I do have class I have marked myself unavailable. I have a fenced in yard and three very friendly dogs who love to run and play! My dogs love to go on walks which I hope I have the opportunity to do with yours as well or play in the yard!

About: I've raised dogs my entire life! Over the last 5 years, I've started house sitting for family friends for upwards of 3-4 weeks at a time, adding cats, bunnies, and birds to the rotation. Currently until the end of June, I will be working about 4 days a week as a substitute teacher. I'm usually out of the house by 6:30a and home around 3:15p.

I will be cognizant of whatever rules and guidelines you lay out for me to make sure your animal is getting the best care!

About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle since I was 10 years old! What started as helping out neighbors has grown into a lifelong passion for animal care. For over 10 years, friends and family have trusted me with their most important family members because they know I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. From high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Whether your pup needs a high-intensity play session or a calm companion to lounge with, I adapt my energy to what they need most. Pet care is my full-time career, so your pets are my #1 priority. Because I don't have a typical 9-to-5, I have a completely flexible schedule. I’m available for mid-day walks, early morning feedings, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or constant companionship throughout the day, I can be there. In your home: I strictly follow your pet's existing routine to keep them comfortable. I am vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping harmful items out of reach. In my home: I have two pet-friendly setups. Depending on your pet's personality, I can host them in a lively home with my two friendly dogs for socializing, or in my second pet-free home if they prefer a quiet, one-on-one environment. Outdoors: I never let dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and always do a quick 'paws-check' on the pavement to ensure it’s not too hot for a walk."

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and consistency as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler routine, medication reminders, or extra attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping pets active with walks and playtime, and maintaining routines that help them feel at home. What sets me apart is the genuine attention and care I give every pet. I treat animals like family, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure each pet gets personalized care based on their needs and personality. I am currently working part and time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am also very available on the weekends. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and comfortable while in my care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I keep the environment clean, secure, and calm, and I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and food instructions for safety. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: *** I am available to book clients in the area surrounding Ocean City, NJ*** What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my experience, genuine passion for animals, and skills that cater to both ends of the age spectrum. Puppy Care: As a seasoned sitter, I possess a unique skill set in puppy training. I understand the importance of early socialization, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines. Senior Care: On the other end of the spectrum, I am well-versed in providing dedicated care for senior pets. I recognize the unique needs of older animals, including mobility challenges, joint care, and age-appropriate exercise. I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. I can readily adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your pets. Caring for the pets in your home is a responsibility I take very seriously! Every pet is unique, and I recognize that. I take the time to understand your pet's personality, preferences, and any specific requirements they may have. Above all, my genuine love for animals drives me to go above and beyond. Your pet will benefit from my unwavering dedication, treating them with the same affection and care I offer to my own pets. Routine: Consistency is key for pets, so l'll stick to their established routine, including feeding times, exercise schedules, bathroom breaks, and playtime. This minimizes stress and ensures a smooth transition in your absence. Feeding and Medication: If your pet requires a special diet or medication, l'll make sure to follow your instructions precisely. Whether it's administering oral medication, applying topical treatments, or managing injections, your pet's health is my top priority. Exercise and Play: Engaging physical and mental activities are vital for pets' well-being. I'll engage in interactive play, walks, and stimulating games to keep them entertained, happy, and healthy. Hygiene and Cleanliness: I maintain a clean and hygienic environment for your pet. Regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Communication: Regular updates are crucial to ease your mind while you're away. I'll provide you with timely messages, photos, and even videos of your pet, so you can stay connected and see that they're in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: While I hope it never happens, I am prepared for emergencies. I'll have your contact information, your veterinarian's details, and a plan in place to address any unexpected situations that may arise. Safety and Security: I'll ensure that your home is secure during my visits. Doors and windows will be properly closed and locked. If necessary, I'll also bring in mail, adjust curtains, and perform other tasks to give the appearance that your home is occupied. Initial Consultation: Before the pet-sitting period begins, I'll meet with you and your pet (in person or virtually) to discuss your pet's routine, medical needs, and any specific requirements they may have. Ultimately, I treat your pet as if they were my own, offering the same love, care, and attention I would want for my furry companions. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my primary concerns throughout my time caring for them in your home.

About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a child, and we currently have a farm with 4 horses! We have have two dogs of our own, a Welsh Corgi and Husky/ Australian Shepherd mix, along with 5 goats and lots of chickens; my parents have a Welsh Corgi as well and two Labrador Retrievers. There are plenty of animals and stimulation to go around. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am comfortable with giving medication, walks, baths, dog park visits, as well as training basics. I am always happy to accommodate client and fur-baby needs! From late night potty breaks, to farm/house sitting and all the extras, I'm up for anything to keep your 4-legged kids comfortable and happy! I do work full-time, Monday through Friday, with very low-key, quiet weekends. I work 9-5 in Middle Township, and can accommodate play time and potty breaks before, during, and after work if necessary. As long as your fur-babies are able to go 4 hours in the AM/PM for potty breaks, I’m happy to spend my lunch with them for a walks, potty breaks, or a midday snack. Im around most weekends and can usually accommodate schedules with prior notice, and am happy to do walks and toys and adventures while you are away/ working. I like to keep animals on the same schedule, with as little change or variation as possible. The less stress I can cause, the happier they will be until your return! I am an early riser, and always up by 7am for morning breakfast and potty breaks, as well as very active and enjoy walking and dog parks and playing with your fur-babies. I do have a welsh corgi, who goes everywhere with me, should your fur-baby want/need company! If you fur-baby likes to travel/go for rides, I would be happy to bring them over to our farm to enjoy running around on 10 acres! (We also love car rides to Starbucks for a puppachino while out and about!)

About: I enjoy dogs and I enjoy walks so what better way to combine the two than becoming a Rover walker! I have most experience with small and medium dogs. I work flexible hours in my full time job currently, I am sure we can work something out that works for both of our schedules! Dogs bring so much joy to our lives! I love to walk and explore the neighborhood with a furry companion, throw a ball, and cuddle up with sweet dogs.

About: I have always had a love for animals. I had dogs growing up, and now have a cat, Nick. I began volunteering for the Beacon Animal Shelter about 9 months ago. It has absolutely changed my life in the BEST way! I promise to go above and beyond and love your fur babies just as much as you do, if not more! I work full time as a Records Clerk, and part time as a 911 dispatcher. I am available all days of the week, but I am pretty flexible. I have 2 children who share my love for animals, and I know they would be thrilled to assist me in loving and caring for your pets. My cat, Nick is getting older, so we have to take special care in making sure his food is soft enough for him to chew. As I had mentioned, I volunteer at Beacon Animal Shelter where I give those fur babies as much time and love as I can. It brings me absolute JOY to see an animal happy and thriving! I will listen to you regarding your animals needs and follow your instructions to the letter. I understand the importance of making sure an animal is still well taken care of even when their humans are not home.
