Pet Sitting in Smithville

About: Animals have been my whole life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one taking care of our pets, and I’ve had dogs, cats, and all kinds of other animals over the years. Even a squirrel! I’ve also spent years pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family & collègues. Whenever someone needs help with their pets, I am usually the first person they call. I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals and their different personalities! I’ve always been involved in helping animals however I can. Back when I was in school, I organized donation drives for local shelters and volunteered my time there. I also help build shelters for stray cats in the winter for a few consecutive years now! Working with animals has always been a dream of mine. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets and care for them like they’re family, I’d love to help! P.S. I am more than willing to care for any other types of animals! Turtles, birds, rabbits, lizards and hey even a squirrel! As long as all of the proper personal care information is relayed to me in advance :) I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting, drop in visits, and walks. Outside of work, my schedule is very open! I care for pets in their own homes by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I know being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well!

About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I take time to understand their routine and personality so they feel comfortable and safe. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around pet care. I make time for walks, feedings, and check-ins between classes, and I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pets needs. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m committed to being reliable and consistent. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and any special care. I keep the home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. I also provide regular updates for peace of mind.

“This is the first time we had someone take care of our dog Sawyer that was not a relative or friend. We were nervous because Sawyer can be anxious around strangers and he also has some medical issues. Our fears were put to rest at the first meet and greet between Sawyer and Andrew. Andrew immediately engaged Sawyer and listened carefully to my concerns. He was always on time and visited as scheduled. He was faithful in providing reports after each visit that led me to think he already knew what was important to me as Sawyer’s mom. We will definitely contact Andrew if we need him to take care of Sawyer in the future!”

About: I have a reactive German shepherd husky mix at home that I am able to handle really well! I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats! I’m currently in Doctor of Physical Therapy school at Stockton University full time, but have off from class Tuesday, Friday and the weekends. I am happy to come over and take care of your pets. I live in an apartment complex with little yard space, but I love getting outside and would be more than happy to take your pet on long walks if they need extra exercise.

About: My family had many cats, dogs, rabbits, and horses growing up. I’ve been around animals the majority of my life. We cared for and re-homed many stray cats and kittens that showed up on our property as well. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with my and my friend’s pets, and it’s a pleasure to be in the company of animals. I currently have an office job where I work 9-5 in Egg Harbor Township. I am available during weekdays in early morning or evenings, and weekend availability. Care with patience and love. I make sure all pets needs are attended to as requested, and that they get a good amount of attention during the day.

“Adrienne is someone who genuinely cares about your pet. Choosing her to watch my cat while I was away for 10 days was the perfect choice. I couldn’t be any happier. Between the updates, the photos, and her willingness to go above and beyond, we are so thankful we found her! Thank you Adrienne!!!!”

About: When my dog was a puppy I’d train him, but made sure it was like a game. He now sits politely for scratches and food. I do have a part time job at the moment but I can provide pet care just about any time and day with advance notice. I have experience with crate training, preparing treat toys, grooming (such as brushing, trim, ear cleaning, dental) and I will follow feeding instructions as needed.

About: I’m dependable, patient, and truly love animals. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to fit their needs — whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or maintaining a training routine. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra reassurance. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, which means I’m best available in the evenings throughout the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins or walks during those times and always make sure pets get attentive, unrushed care. I communicate clearly about availability and scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and household guidelines. I’m respectful of your space, make sure doors and windows are secure, and always double-check that everything is safe before I leave. I keep a clean environment, refresh food and water bowls, maintain litter boxes, and monitor behavior for any changes. I also provide updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.

About: I have over thirty years of experience caring and loving both my own pets as well as caring for family and friends’ pets. I am used to puppy through senior as well as sensitivity or food allergies. I am available for day, overnight or boarding. I am generally available weekdays and weekends. Able to accommodate many holiday weekends with advance notice as well. I have a large roughly half acre backyard fully fenced with a separate fenced dog run. I have a medium to large size crate for use.

“Halli was great! Was playful with 2 dogs and they enjoyed her company. Highly recommend.”

About: Growing up, I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages. I had many puppies throughout might childhood. as well as older dogs. I took and still take pleasure in making sure they were getting treated the correct way and making sure they feel loved. At the end of the day, they are apart of the family! I currently work 9am-5pm so I am available any time after 5pm during the week. I am flexible during the weekend. Whether your dog needs to a walking break or a potty break, I can help I currently have a backyard that is not fenced in, as my dog is trained to not leave the yard. However, I am more than comfortable using leashes. I will be sure to make your dogs safety and experience a top priority

“Shannon has been amazing… she has helped us out for both an overnight visit and a drop in. She is so sweet to Benji and always makes sure that he feels extra love and doesn’t miss us! She’s kept up his schedule and exercise and is very aware of his heart condition and doesn’t push him. She is very helpful and polite. Would definitely use her over and over!”

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar to there day to day.
