House Sitting Roxbury Township

About: I have had cats for 10 years, walked my friends dogs and babysat them, cared for birds and fishes, I love animals of all kinds! I currently work an afternoon to evening job so I have time in the mornings and early afternoons! I also enjoy exercise so its a good way to get walks in for me! I currently do not offer services in my own home, but animals are family members to me. That means dignity should be taken account for, how they are treated, trust and safety is a huge compliment to me, so I find it very important that they feel loved and safe.

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. They now live with their forever homes. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.

“We HIGHLY recommend Jessica! She is so sweet and genuine, and was fantastic with communication before, during, and after our trip. She went above and beyond with our fur babies! We have a highly energetic dog and she contacted us to make sure she was doing everything possible for him. She took him on tons of walks and communicated with us about getting some new toys to calm him : ) She even went to the pet store when Amazon wasn't delivering in time. She played and cuddled with our cat as well. She left our house immaculate. We were more than happy with her care of our pets and our home - again, highly we highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to have her house sit again!! <3 <3”

“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”

“Sam is great! She arrived on time and was very communicative throughout the night. She sent photos throughout the night, as well. I would definitely book her again!”

“Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a special bond with animals. I was always surrounded by furry friends, learning to care for them. I have a unique connection with cats and dog. They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. This is not applicable as I do not currently take clients in my home. However for your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.

About: Since I was old enough to remember Ive had various types of animals both small and large. I had overseen , cared for and loved all my furry, scaled and feathered friends. Ranging from fish, rats, hamsters, birds, bearded dragons, snakes, sugar gliders, cats and dogs. I made sure all my pets were comfortable, loved and treated as family. I would treat your furry, scaled, feathered babies as I would treat my own. I am a stay at home single mother with time available regularly. My schedule is pretty flexible just need a days notice. Look forward to meeting you and your little loved ones. In all my years, Ive always made sure that I do my due diligence to make sure they feel like part of the family. By make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy and loved.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs a good portion of my life! Love pets altogether. I can understand that all pets have different needs and quirks! I’m currently babysitting Monday’s through Friday’s but a limited amount of hours daily. It isn’t anything that would interfere with pet care needs I’d need to accomplish elsewhere. As far as overnight stays my hours wouldn’t cut in but I’d leave at some point in the day for babysitting for a couple hours. For day to day drop in’s or walks I could communicate my availability and come to an agreement accordingly with owners. My hours in babysitting wouldn’t prevent me from meeting any needs because aside from babysitting I have a lot of time available in the day. I personally don’t take boarding clients but I’m very respectful in other peoples homes. Whatever boundaries and request’s set I will honor them. I’m there to help with a service needed and get paid and hopefully get some pet cuddles in lol. I’ve worked in many different homes with different dynamics and I’ve always gotten back that I’m very pleasant and helpful, that’s huge especially when it comes to childcare. Let alone pet care. I would never take advantage or overstep it’s not in my moral compass to disrespect another persons space.

“Ava was great with our little dog. She always came to give her food and take her out for a walk. She changed her pad and picked up her poop. She took out the trash. Super recommended. I would use her services again.”

“MaKenna took excellent care of our furry family while we were out of the country. She was great at communicating and providing photos. She was thorough with providing our Daisy her meds and getting to know Daisy, even though she's a bit shy. And Winnie and MaKenna seemed to click right away. It was clear by the photos that both animals had a great time!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Animals are a passion of mine, as well as traveling, music and nutrition. The slogan Eat, Play, Love is a spin off of my favorite Eat, Pray, Love. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I loved each & every one of them. When I got older I turned my passion into a form of income. I’m a former kennel-hand. I’ve been a house/ pet sitting for years now but just as a side job & usually by word of mouth. Now I’ve turned it into a full-time business. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s) ! I walk many dogs throughout the week. I housesit whenever someone needs me. Then at home, I help out with my family’s dogs. I’m really flexible, I’m willing to work weekends & holidays as well. I care for your furry friends like they’re my own, with lots of love. I pride myself on leaving a home better than I found it.

About: ***RECENT MBA GRAD WITH TIME TO WORK BEFORE STARTING FULL-TIME POSITION THIS OCT*** Growing up, I helped care for my family's dog and regularly pet sat for neighbors' cats and dogs. I now have a cat of my own, so I truly understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind for a work trip or vacation. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and affection they need to keep their owners at ease. I recently graduated from graduate school and am enjoying a flexible schedule while waiting for my new role to begin this fall. In the meantime, I'm taking on a variety of work, which means I have plenty of availability to accommodate your pet care needs whether that's a regular daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or an extended stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they stay in a secure, calm, and loving environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog as well as dogs of those in Mendham due to having to help my mother with her side jobs in the past. Whether it be small or big dogs, I can take care of them! With work and college my schedule can get a little busy, but I’ve got plenty of free time because of how I organized my schedule. Feel free to ask about when I’m available and we can work something out I am able to keep dogs in my own home seeing as I live in an open and large basement and have access to a fenced in backyard. I am also available to take care of dogs in the homeowners house.

Growing up around pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are in their care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, and play. I stay organized and flexible to meet each pet’s needs consistently. In my client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they’re fed, exercised, given fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, while keeping their space clean and tidy.

“This is the second time that we’ve used Erin to house sit our dog Rocky. Erin is awesome!!! She responds right away and always keeps us updated on her visits. Erin is now our go-to dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in the future. I highly recommend Erin for all of your dog sitting needs.”
