Cat Sitting in Rumson

About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was 8 years old, watching my neighbors pets when they were away. My college degree in Animal Science taught me the background information needed to care for medically complex animals, such as dogs with diabetes or cats with FeLV or FIV. I have experience administering injections, giving pills, wound care, and other medical treatment. If you’re looking for an experienced pet sitter to care for your beloved friend, look no further! I work remotely and can spend as much time with your pet as you need. On the weekends I have even more flexibility! Any time you need someone to take care of your pet, I’ll be available. I take safety very seriously and take precautions to ensure the safety of your pet and my own safety. When I first meet your pet, I introduce myself very slowly and pay close attention to body language. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I always double check locks while entering the home and leaving to ensure that no strangers can enter and no pets can get out.

“Alley is everything we needed in a pet sitter: attentive, responsive, and caring. She really got to know our cats and did a great job looking after them and cleaning up after them too.”

“Angelica was wonderful with our kitties. She followed all instructions and went the extra mile, cleaning up after our cats and keeping our home spotless. Her updates were detailed with lots of great photos. We were able to travel with peace of mind knowing Angelica was our caregiver.”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs ever since I was a kid, walking feeding and bathing. My family has fostered dogs my whole life and I grew up with pets. I have an open schedule right now, Monday through Sunday anytime . I’m available to book with short notice and happy to commute. Thank you! Every dog deserves a walk. I enjoy exercising and why not help dogs stay healthy while I’m at it. I’m committed to give your dogs a good experience daily.

About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 8 months, taking care of cats, dogs, bunnies, and anything that came through those doors. I have dealt with waste, scratches (thankfully not bites). I love to get outside and move and pets are a great way to do that, however, I don’t have any of my own right now so I’m excited at the chance to walk and interact with others! I work 7am-3:30pm Saturday - Wednesday. Therefore I am free in the early afternoons and on Thursday and Friday. I love to get exercise so I will walk as long or as little as your fur baby needs. I am good at following instructions. I can not have pets where I am so I can only do at home care. With that being said, I will ensure to follow any/ everything your fur baby needs.

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins

About: As a mother of three grown children and a dedicated business owner, I bring a wealth of experience in reliability, attention to detail, and exceptional organization. Having cared for several dogs and cats since childhood, I am a lifelong animal lover with a deep compassion for pets and their well-being. My unique combination of professional expertise and genuine affection for animals makes me a trustworthy and caring companion for your furry friends. I'm available most weekdays between 11am and 4pm. I can also support some weekend and evening activities as long as I am given advance notice for planning. I can care for pets in their own homes, including walking, cuddling, feeding, and general care during the daytime. I am not available for overnight care.

“Lynn Nicole was amazing and A+++. She took such great care of our two kitties during our long trip. Ensuring our kitties were well taken care of initially caused me some stress but after meeting Lynn Nicole we knew they would be in good hands and all of that stress melted away. She is responsible, genuine, friendly and kind and pays a great attention to details. And most importantly, she loves animals and our kitties immediately took to her during our meet and greet. And we loved her daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend Lynn Nicole!!”

This includes strictly following instructions for their basic needs – feeding, exercise, medication, and any specific behaviors or routines. Maintaining their familiar schedule is crucial to minimizing stress and ensuring their safety and overall well-being.

“Marie was an absolute profesional and made my wife and I at ease while we were out of town. It would usually take me a few times to trust someone with my elderly cat, but Marie made me comfortable right of the bat. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi there! I have loved dogs since I was a toddler. My experience ranges from owning my own dog, fostering a fear-aggressive rescue, working as a veterinary assistant/kennel attendant, working at an animal shelter and walking/boarding/babysitting many furry friends. I am also a KPA-CTP trainer. Check out my reviews from past clients! I am always happy to meet up before hand to introduce myself and my own pup to your friend before any services. During all of my services, I make sure enrichment, training, safety and, of course, fun, are key components. Reach out, I’d love to meet your four-legged family member :) I am currently on sabbatical from my job working at an animal shelter for the summer. I am available every day and have a very flexible schedule. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments. Stranger danger, reactivity, and other behavioral problems are something I’ve dealt with regularly. My top priority is always safety and making sure the animal experiences as little stress as possible.

About: I have been taking care of various animals on my own since I was around 9 years old! I used to walk dogs around my neighborhood, and have experience taking care of them (feeding, giving medications, cleaning, etc). I have worked with dogs of all different ages, including ones with different health issues. I am great working with cats, and have two of my own! I frequently cat-sit and house-sit for many people. I also have experience taking care of other animals, such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I love working with and taking care of all different animals! I would love to work out whatever schedule works best for everyone involved! I would be available varying weekdays and weekends throughout the day to take care of your animals. Again, I am available to discuss certain days or schedules that would work best for individuals. I would not be able to bring any other dogs or cats to my own home, but I would be available to house sit or watch your animals in other environments! I have experience house sitting and cleaning up after the animals, as well as feeding and taking care of them. I would be able to follow walking and feeding schedules, and would love to take the dogs to parks or on longer walks if needed! I understand the different needs that each animals has, and would love to provide them with the care they deserve.

About: Hello there! I’ve been a caretaker of animals big and small—furry, feathered, scaly, and everything in between—for as long as I can remember. Whether it's a playful pup or a senior kitty, I approach every pet with compassion, patience, and respect for their unique personality. I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. My late Samoyed, Mackenzie, was my pride and joy—I raised her from puppyhood and later cared for her through diabetes, administering insulin and giving her the support she needed to thrive. These days, the current love of my life is Tucker, a Poodle/Bichon mix with a heart of gold. I’ve trained him to be a model canine citizen—he’s friendly with other dogs, gentle with kids, and so well-behaved that neighbors stop just to say hello! I know every pet is different, and I’m happy to tailor my care to what your animal loves most—whether that’s belly rubs and cuddles, long adventurous walks, a vigorous game of fetch, or simply hanging out together in the backyard. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your beloved companion! I recently moved to the area and am not currently working full-time, so I am available to provide 24 hour care for your pets with occasional brief periods out of the house. My home is a puppy paradise - there are dog beds scattered throughout the house along with several baskets filled to the brim with stuffed toys and balls, so your precious pup can lounge or play as much as they want. I allow dogs on the couch and they are always welcome in bed, but if your dog prefers a crate to feel safe, you can either bring your own or I can provide a large crate that they can use during their time at my home. My backyard is not fully fenced so I would not allow them outside off-leash, but there are two amazing parks nearby that are perfect for walks and a good sniff or two. If you are comfortable with it, I would also be happy to bring your dog to the Wolf Hill Off-Leash Dog Park for socialization.
