Dog Sitting in Sea Girt

About: I have taken care of friend’s and family’s cats and dogs for years. I have two cats of my own and my world revolves around them. I know just how important caring visits are for them when I am out of town. I truly enjoy dog walks and meeting new kitties to care for. I work full time M-F 8-4. I am available weeknights and weekends. I could do very early before work visits if needed, locally, as well. When I visit with my current clients dog, we go for long walks in the neighborhood and on the beach. He goes for car rides and visits friends with me.

About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.

About: I love dogs more than people 😉 and have been around them my entire life — from Silky Terriers to German Shepherds. I’m a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring person who will treat your dog like my own. We currently do not have any animals in the home, which allows me to focus fully on your dog’s care and comfort. While we live in an apartment, we’re just a few blocks from the beach in Asbury Park and have access to excellent walking routes. I take dogs on long daily walks of at least 3 miles and am always happy to go farther if that suits your pup. I’m especially understanding of dogs who may be anxious or reactive around other dogs. I know how stressful it can be to leave a dog with behavioral sensitivities, and I’m committed to providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I currently work outside the home three days a week. My husband works for the city and is home daily for lunch, so your dog will never go longer than about three hours without a potty break. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I spent 12 years caring for a dog who was reactive toward other dogs, so I understand how important structure, vigilance, and clear communication are. I take instructions seriously and will follow your care and safety guidelines closely — whether that means avoiding other dogs, using specific equipment, or sticking to a familiar routine. Our home is calm and pet-focused, and we currently do not have any animals, allowing me to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, proactive, and thoughtful in my approach, and I’m committed to creating a safe, predictable environment where your dog can feel secure and relaxed.

About: I am a 10 year pet owner and volunteer at animal shelters walking dogs. I love to go on long walks, play outside, and giving lots of love and treats! I am a current college graduate looking for some part time opportunities. My schedule is very flexible and this allows me to spend time with animals which I enjoy! I am responsible for the grooming and feeding of my own cats and dogs- talking them on walks, cleaning and making sure they are safe.

“Jessica is extremely reliable. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is a true extension with training our 8 month old Havanese, Pebbles. The consistency adds to Pebbles success. The lond voice and affection Jessica gives to Pebbles is appreciated and genuine. We highly recommend Jessica!!”

“Rachel took great care of our little guy! She was very easy to work with. Both communicative and accommodating. Rachel took so good of care of our Frenchie that I don’t think he even missed us! We have already rebooked with Rachel for our next getaway.”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my family my whole life, and love dogs of all breeds. I help Family, friends neighbors care for their dogs when they aren’t home. I walk my own golden retriever 2-3 times a day down to the Brielle park and back plus we have a fully fenced in back yard. We also love to head to the dog park occasionally for some socializing. I have a flexible work schedule and am available to care for my dog and yours all day, everyday with morning and afternoon walks and many chances to go out in the backyard to play. We live down the street from the park, have a fully fenced yard, an9 year old golden retriever who loves all dogs and is very very chill. My husband and I have 3 daughters, 1 in college and 1 In high school and 1 in middle school and they love dogs and have been around dogs since They were born.

“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”

About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside

About: Hi! I’m Amanda, a nurse and lifelong animal lover who is brand new to Rover and so excited to be here. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, both professionally and personally, and that same level of compassion, patience, and attentiveness carries over into the way I care for pets. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs a little extra patience and TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a nurse, safety, reliability, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I take caring for pets very seriously, from secure leashes and locked gates to making sure routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special instructions are followed closely. I know how nerve wracking it can feel leaving your pets with someone new, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for pet care throughout my week. I work as a nurse, so being dependable, communicative, and attentive comes naturally to me. I’m excited to be starting my journey on Rover and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to details like secure leashes, closed gates, feeding instructions, medications, and routines to make sure every pet is safe and cared for. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

“Carly was a blessing to have while we were away. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and she was able to administer it all. Super communicative and personable. Highly recommend and will use again.”

I have a very flexible schedule! I will treat your home with the utmost respect of course! I have pet sit and babysit my whole life, and have experience with staying overnight in

“Lisa was on time every day and followed up with all the details to help take care of the pups. I would definitely recommend Lisa to help with your fur baby.”

About: Greetings! As a dog owner for most of my life, until recently, I know that ensuring your Pup is well cared for can be the #1 biggest concern of your workday/holiday or any time you’re separated. If you're anything like me then you have undoubtedly spent THOUSANDS on making sure they receive only the best care. My doggy resume: Previous owner of Duke, my cairn terror, who was amazing with people, but terrible with other animals. He had to be leashed at all times and we had to stay clear of other dogs, squirrels and so on. Loved him. I also have experience with an American Pit Bull. She was so loving too and she happened to be deaf. I learned a lot loving and loving her. A few items we will touch base on before our meet and greet: 1. Is your dog a rescue? Do they potentially have an unfortunate history. If so, what is that history and let’s find a way to navigate it, if possible: 2. Are there any medications that will need to be administered? How and when? Do you have a method to do so (pill in food or treat). We don't want them missing anything important. 3. Dietary habits and needs while under my care. Besides time and amount, anything unusual? Or imperative? 4.How frequently does your dog tend to need outside trips? Are they house broken? Tibia okay if not, we all have to learn at some point. Is there a behavior I should be looking out for, it is out of scheduled time? 5. Let's talk walks: Leashes, harnesses, dog parks,other dogs and everything in-between. 6. A typical day in the life; on or off furniture, chewing shoes, rules, other behaviors, do's and dont's. We are open to it all. 7. While an emergency is unlikely, let's set a plan. I'm a Retired small business owner of 20 years. My days are open enough to to help with last minute, emergencies, planned and even separation anxiety pups. I can stay in if needed. If no schedule is given, I will typically follow the below plan: Walks will be first thing in the morning, lunch (12:30-1:30) and in the evening. Breaks needed is fine too! I'm available Monday through Sunday Open to Drop-off and pickup times, but not after 9pm. If you need some added flexibility we can definitely discuss that. I can come to your home for a pickup or drop-off. Our home is bright and airy and we have w big backyard. No rugs, no kids….My mom lives two blocks away with a big backyard with a pool, if your Pup likes the water. And orchard park dog park is a walk away if allowed. One of the biggest CONS of transitioning from a 60 hour work week for 20 years to sitting at home and walking with just the two of us. Because of this, I go on daily walks to the dog park, where we sit for awhile and watch them play. I'm hoping your dog will finally give me a reason to go into the dog park. If dog parks isn't your dogs thing, I can head to a more residential route. Don't worry, I'll be sure to send you a picture or video. And I will make sure to keep open communication, with updates. My days and evenings are open! Monday-Sunday. Nothing in my schedule lasts over 3 hours, so I am pretty much open for your Pup’s needs. I follow directions about the care of your dog to perfection. We have a big backyard, if granted by you, because there’s no fence. We have two bedrooms they can stay in, or they can stay in ours, or in a crate! We are so flexible. There is a dog park we can walk to if allowed. We also have access to my mother’s pool, if allowed, she is within walking distance and her backyard is fenced. Big area to run around and hang out. We have no kids, which makes it even easier!

“Monica did several drop in visits for my 47lb yellow lab mix over the last few days. She went above and beyond and provided extra love to my dog. If you need a reliable, trustworthy, attention to detail pet sitter/walker, look no further!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. I work full-time, but I’m never home later than 6:00 PM and am only about 15 minutes away from home while at work. I can board pets for weekends or longer stays during the week. I make it a priority to check on and care for pets during my lunch break, so they are never left alone for extended periods. Your pet will never be unattended for more than 8 hours, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I will care for your dog according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. If your dog is crate-trained, I can safely crate them when needed and follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Christy was great. Left updates and pictures the whole time. Comet was well taken care of played with and happy. Would definatrly have Christy care for my pet anytime im away.”
