Pet Sitting in Sloop Point

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have some vet experience, and have house sat for many friends. I am very patient with dogs and cats. I treat any animal as my own and have personal training experience with my dog as well. I am currently working part time and have a lot of time during the week and weekends to play with your fur babies to give you a piece of mind! Unfortunately I have 3 animals at home so I am not able to have animals at home :( I love dogs and cats and want to help anyone who may not have as much time to get out with their fur babies or for those that just need a breather!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and species — from playful puppies and senior pets to cats, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and livestock. I’m Fear Free certified and trained in preventative care, nutrition, feline urinary health, and exotic & small mammal care. I also hold a Wildlife Rehabilitation Apprentice License (any wildlife I care for with never be in the house and your fur babies will never be exposed to them) I’m confident in safe handling, administering medications (oral, topical, and insulin), and caring for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. I offer grooming services (no cuts) and like to send pets home with clean food and water bowls and fresh bedding. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs extra cuddles, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Clear communication is a priority, and I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Bonus: - I also have military base access! - Drop ins on week days I'm available 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) - Drop In’s on the weekend I'm available 0800-2200 (8am-10pm) I am currently available all the time as I am a stay at home mom. I also love working with animals in or outside a clinical setting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I create a calm, structured environment and tailor my approach to each animal’s needs, personality, and routine. When Pets Stay in My Home: - Safe, supervised environment: I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure areas for play, rest, and meals. Pets are never left unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. - Separate spaces if needed: If a pet is shy, anxious, or prefers their own space, I can safely separate them from others while still giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. - Clear safety plans: If I’m hosting more than one family at a time and any pet shows signs of stress or aggression, I follow a structured safety plan and communicate everything with you. - Fosters kept separate: I occasionally foster kittens or puppies, but they are always fully vetted and housed in a completely separate, contained area away from guest pets. - Comfort & routine: Pets have access to soft bedding, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection, enrichment, and potty breaks. When I Care for Pets in Your Home: - Respecting your home and routine: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medication routines, walk preferences, crate habits, and household rules. - Low-stress handling: I use Fear Free techniques to help pets feel relaxed, especially those who are nervous or slow to warm up. - Consistency: I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and maintain a familiar environment. Experience You Can Trust: - I’m trained in safe animal handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and insulin), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, and livestock. - I ask plenty of questions up front so I can fully understand your pet’s needs and keep them safe and comfortable. - I believe communication is key — you’ll receive honest updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life. Different sizes and breeds. Can handle walking and dropping in to check on all your pups! I am working remotely so am free to walk your pups or stop by and check on them. They are also more than welcome at my home for daycare if they are friendly with other dogs. I have a large fenced yard and 1 very calm and friendly dog. She loves friends if your pup needs to come to our house.

About: I’ve been taking care of not only my pets but my neighbors pets since I was around 9 or 10. I love being able to play with them no matter how big or small. I also love giving dogs baths because who doesn’t like a clean smelling dog. Currently I am in college so I can’t work Monday's or Wednesday’s but I am available at most times these days excluding Tuesday and Thursday mornings though I am free after 12:30. I am willing to do almost any service that is wanted whether that’s playing with the pet, bathing it, walking it, or even just spending time with it.

“She did a great job with my dogs”

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for neighbors and friends. I have a calm demeanor and want to make sure your furry family member is well taken care of, whether they are active and need lots of walks and playtime or are lazy and need some peace and quiet. Whatever your fur baby needs I am ready to care for them! I have an open schedule this summer and can care for animals any time of day. I am located in hampstead/surf city and can visit your pet multiple times a day as long as the commute isn’t too long. I have one dog in my home who is gentle and a bit shy but will be ready to play with your pet if they are wanting to interact but she is not one to hound other animals. I have an unfenced yard and live in a nice neighborhood that’s perfect for long walks if your pet stays at my home. If I come to your home I will let your pet slowly warm up to me and then provide them with walks/playtime/ whatever you recommend to make sure they are happy!

“Leah was incredibly helpful when I had to leave town for a few days. She came over to meet the pups the day prior and I could tell she really cared about their well being. She sent pictures with updates which made my trip that much easier not having to worry about the creatures. Will use her again if I ever have to fly out of town.”

About: I’ve had family dogs since I was born, and I can’t live without them! I’ve grown very passionate about training my dogs since 2020, and highly value promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle- especially involving physical/mental exercise, socialization, and healthy foods. As a full time nurse, I regularly practice patience, compassion, and consistent routines. I currently work as a full-time night shift RN. However I fit pet care into most of my day whenever I’m home: including morning and evening walks, mental stimulation, monthly vet visits to keep up with medications, socializing my dog at the park multiple times a week I currently live in an apartment with a large dog park to run off-leash. However I love long walks around neighborhoods as well and always try to find public dog parks. I also have a very loving and affectionate 1 year old pup who loves to play and keep others company

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born! I have cared for many neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s pets. I hope to help you with yours! I’m currently working full time Tuesday through Friday until 3pm as a dental hygienist. I am available for care after work and on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and any holidays. I have a house with a yard that is not fenced in yet, but I have plans to get a fence in the future. There is still plenty of yard for your pup to run around outside.

“Great sitter! Very professional. My cat loved her. Madison kept me up to date on him while I was traveling. Super friendly and easy to work with. Thanks!”
