Dog Sitting in Raritan

About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.

“Nikki dropped in to check on our cats during the long Fourth of July weekend! Everything went so well and she gave one of our cats his meds every evening. She was timely and professional and very knowledgeable!”

About: I’ve always had at least one pet in my house since I was little, and I always will! Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets many times. I'm comfortable working on any training you may be working on with your pets, or giving any medications. I also love taking pictures, so I'm happy to send cute pictures of your pets :) I've volunteered for St. Huberts animal shelter in the past. I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I'm available mainly on weekdays but I can do weekends as well if needed. I’m able to give medications to your pets if necessary. I am also able to feed or give water to your pets of course, or whatever the client’s/pet's specifications are.

“Thank you Nicole, for taking care of our fur babies while we are away. Ella needs a structured routine for her IBD and you help her carry through this process. We are very thankful!”

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”

About: I have been dog walking for my neighbor for years! I loved my morning walks with him and am excited by the opportunity to meet some new pets! I currently work part time and have quite a bit of flexibility with my hours. It would be easy to find time on a daily and weekly basis to care for animals. I have loved taking care of friends and family’s pets growing up and extend kindness to all animals. I would extend the same to your pets!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 16 years, including having 4 cats of my own, 2 dogs, and few fosters! I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. I work in human healthcare, so I’m attentive, dependable, and take health and safety seriously. I currently have two very spoiled cats, Max and Toby, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I currently work Wednesday through Saturday, so my availability is more limited on those days. I’m most available on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. That said, I’m sometimes able to accommodate visits on workdays depending on the time, so it never hurts to ask! I do best with about a week’s notice for new requests, but I’m always happy to try to help with last-minute needs when I can, even if availability isn’t guaranteed. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in their own home. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your pet is supervised and comfortable at all times. Because I work in healthcare, I’m used to being detail-oriented, respectful of others’ homes, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“We will definitely be using Luqing again. She’s very attentive with our cat and was very easy to work with. Thank you! Great communication and quick.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with 6 years of experience working with dogs of all kinds. I also have a strong background in training, so your pup will not only be well cared for but also get some positive reinforcement along the way. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently studying and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stay consistent with their schedules, and care for multiple animals while making sure each one gets the time and care they need. I have a fenced yard as well as a fenced pet pen to give your pets the freedom in a controlled environment. I also provide home cook pet meals as well!

“Second time we’ve used Mika. She sends great pictures and updates! She has no problem with requests. She takes initiative and has great consideration as she’s brought in packages without even being asked. Highly recommended! We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”

“Roshni has become the substitute cat mama for our furry babies. Our last trip would have not been possible without her loving care and dedication taking care of our 3 senior kitties. One needs medication every day and another one is still missing his siblings and playing friends. In a short period and suddenly we have lost two of our babies , one to congestive heart failure and the other to feline diabetes. They are all siblings, rescued as kittens and the same age. All our hearts are broken and Roshni has been incredibly thoughtful and supportive sharing our sadness and helping us to cherish their memory. Thank you Roshni!”
