Cat Sitting in Spring Lake

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.

“Kristin was so kind and helped us out last minute with a walk for our senior dog while we were out at a concert! Kristin was super communicative and came just when she said she would. Thank you so much, Kristin! Would definitely ask her again.”

About: I am an animal lover and long time dog owner. I am currently living in an apartment which does not allow pets. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your fur baby behind while traveling or for a long day at work or play. I would like to provide for you the peace of mind required to relax and know your pet is under the very best care. My work schedule is very flexible. I am available most days, evenings and overnighters if need be. My weekends are also open for scheduling purposes. I am unable to care for pets at my apartment but I am more than happy to care for your pets in their own environment in your home. Your pet will remain comfortable and confident in your absence because they will continue to have their comforts of home.

“Thank you so much Anahi!”

“We have never used a pet sitting service before and were a little nervous but Kathy and John were very attentive and did a great job taking care of our cats! They were punctual and very communicative while we were away, and we loved all the pictures they sent. We would highly recommend them!”

“Erin was great with our kitty! She was super sweet and caring to him while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing she was coming to care for him. Definitely recommend!?”

“Jessica is the very best sitter! She is a caring person who keeps my cat's best interest in mind and communicates with me on a regular basis. I also have complete trust her as a housesitter.”

“Lee Ann gave her best however our dogs are used to family handling them 24x7 and so they were highly uncooperative. She made progress however they are very tough customers. Need to add another appointment to allow familiarization and trust building. She is confident that she will be able to take care of them but I am nervous based on their behavior and stubbornness- typical chows.”

About: I am an approved veterinary assistant by NAVTA (National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America). Throughout the past year I have learned about all different types of animals and their behaviors through both didactic learning and hands on rotating clinical experience. My rotations include animal husbandry, surgery, oncology, physical therapy, recovery, radiology, ultrasound, and so much more. I am an aspiring veterinarian and currently an undergrad majoring in biology. I am currently working part time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pups! Either long or short walks I am willing to help out in any way I can. Your trust in me is my number one priority! I know how much love and care you have for your pets and I feel the same way. I respect and understand how much these animals mean to a family which is why my dream is to help them.

“Elizabeth was wonderful with my 2 cats. She made them feel very comfortable and went above and beyond when she was with them. She sent me daily photos and updates and was very receptive to requests and quick with communication! I would definitely recommend her and would gladly have her watch my pets again!”

“Maggie did a great job with our cat Rascal while house sitting for us. Rascal was well taken care of and Maggie left our home in tip top shape. We highly recommend Maggie and will be using her services again.”

I truly enjoy the dogs and like getting our for fresh air. If I am sitting at your house, I will make sure everything is clean and tidy.

“JoAnn was amazing! Teddy had the best time ever with her. I felt nothing but comfortable from the moment we met her. She was the absolute perfect fit !!! Can't recommend her enough!!”

About: My schedule’s open and flexible so I can truly meet the needs of each family I work with. Some days could start with an early-morning 🔆🐾 walk to get tails wagging, while others might be filled with midday check-ins, playtime in the yard, and even overnight 🐕💖 snuggles for pets who need extra company. I’m currently available every Saturday evening, with open availability Sunday through Tuesday, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and their unique routine. On my walks, I could work on leash skills and basic obedience to help your pup feel stay confident and well-mannered. I also have experience caring for high-energy dogs who need extra exercise, as well as special-needs pets who may require a gentler pace and more patience. I’m a strong multitasker, attentive to detail, and always make time for excellent communication—sending daily updates, notes, and pictures so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. With First Aid knowledge and Emergency Preparedness, you can trust that your furry loved ones are in safe, capable hands every step of the way. My schedule is open and flexible to fit the needs of pet parents. Whether it’s early-morning 🐶 🐾 walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight care, I can adjust to your pet’s routine. I’m currently available every Saturday evening and have open availability from Sunday through Tuesday. With plenty of time to dedicate, I’ll make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve while working around your schedule. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort ☀️ in every service I provide. In a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, keeping pets secure, happy, and at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment where they can relax and feel comfortable.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies 🐶 to senior companions.

About: I’m a certified animal lover with a fur baby of my own (Henry, 9lb of quiet sweetness) that I’ve been caring for over 10 years. I own a wedding photography business that allows me to work from home 90% of my year. If I am booked on a specific day during your booking, I will let you know ahead of time so you can approve or deny the amount of hours I will be gone for that day (which can be anywhere from a 1-hour session to a full 10-hour wedding). I have experience as a dog owner, but have also spent many of my years dog and cat sitting for my friends and family. I raised and trained my parents puppy, a Bichon Frise Shih Tzu mix who needed lots of care to control his barking and playful nature, now 6 years old and so loving. I’m experience with a range of ages and needs, including puppies and elder animals with special care needs. I love dogs, as you can tell, and have all the time in the world to watch and play with them! I prefer dogs and cats have been handled and are used to being cared for, with no history of lashing out or biting. Whether you need me to cuddle, feed, brush, walk, or play with your pup, I'm your gal. Note: while I take a combo of meds for my dander allergy and have a high tolerance, I ask that any animals/homes with animals with high shedding be appropriately groomed and cleaned before sitting. If I stay in your home, a vacuuming or light cleaning does wonders. If your fur baby is boarded in my home, a bath or deshedding session beforehand is much appreciated. I work from home, so pet care can be a day round activity for me. If I am sitting in your home or doing check ins, I can stay or come by as frequently as needed, given availability based on any events or sessions I have previously booked. I will always communicate with pet parents about the needs for their specific fur baby. I understand all needs are unique, so aside from common sense (walks, feedings, playing), I’ll make sure to tailor their care as needed.

About: Since I began working in animal care in NYC in 2017, I specialize in nurturing shy, anxious, or high-energy pets and smoothly managing multi-pet households. I prioritize clear communication, sending regular updates so you’re never left wondering. I'll ensure your fuzzy buddies are all taken care of through my skills in training, positive reinforcement and regimen management. Your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Plus, they get all the free snuggles (or preferred personal space) they want! I work part time as an Esthetician (4 hour shifts, 3x a week, Asbury Park), so I have mostly open availability. I lead an active lifestyle, so I can keep up with the ones who like to run! My goal is to make sure your mind is at ease while you do whatever you need to do! I always review a pet's needs with my clients before I begin services, ensuring we cover all the bases and expectations for them before you leave them in my care. I can administer medication and shots and know basic animal first-aid. Respecting schedules and house rules is an important part of my services, as well as being attentive and present to their needs and behavior. I worked with animals for 3 years in the noisy and busy NYC, so I am well-versed in assorted behaviors, socialization and getting a thunder-shirts on some anxious buddies. I can read your animals well and meet them where they're at, putting their comfort and safety at the top of my list at all times. **IMPORTANT SERVICE INFO** - I provided one recap per walk, and up to 3 updates per day. At least one photo per recap/update. - My non-emergency communication hours are 7am-11pm. - For personal safety, my walking curfew is 10pm. During visits, I can let them outside until 11pm if you have a private yard. - Unless approved otherwise, I respond to all messages ASAP, but no more 30 minutes during my hours. - I have a safe car for emergencies or trips to dog-parks. Please provide any preferred safety equipment your buddy needs and I'll happily use it. (I have a safety attachment so they can enjoy the ride with the window down.) - For my personaI safety, I do not enter or stay in unlocked homes. (No broken windows or locks, unlocked entrances, etc.) If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm very flexible and reasonable :)
