House Sitting in Spring Lake

“Margaret was exceptional! She took care of my 4 fur babies, sent pictures & updates daily, and left my home in great condition. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services and would book her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up, I was always around dogs and cats, and over the years my children have also owned numerous dogs and cats, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like family. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, feeding, administering basic care, or simply making sure a pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away, I take pride in providing compassionate and dependable care. After retiring from a nursing career of more than 40 years, I now have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy traveling, but I have plenty of availability to provide dependable pet care and can often accommodate pet owners’ scheduling needs. My experience in nursing taught me responsibility, attention to detail, patience, and compassion qualities that I bring to caring for every pet. Whether your pet needs regular visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I have the time and dedication to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets and work to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect, providing companionship, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and any other requested care. When pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they receive supervision, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and play. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.

“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”

“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”

“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”

About: Tell your dog I said hi!!! I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My family and friends rely on me regularly to keep their homes and animals safe! I unfortunately can't have pets at my apartment but dog sitting is a way to get my pet snuggles in! You'll receive cute pet pictures if you want as well! I would come to your home and meet your pets first and familiarize their routine with you before you leave. Very open with communication for your needs.

About: I have been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for many years, and caring for both cats and dogs has always been a true passion of mine. I understand that pets are beloved family members, each with their own unique personalities, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. I am dependable, compassionate, and attentive to detail. Whether your pet is an energetic dog, a playful cat, a shy rescue, or a senior or special-needs companion, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience with rescue animals and special-needs pets has taught me to be especially patient and observant, allowing me to quickly notice changes in behavior or health. Nothing makes me happier than earning an animal’s trust and ensuring they receive exceptional care while their family is away. My goal is to provide not only outstanding care for your pets, but also complete peace of mind for you. As a full-time high school teacher, I maintain a structured and dependable schedule, working from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM during the school year. This allows me to provide pet visits during the midday, if needed, and dedicated walks and care immediately after the school day. Caring for animals is an important part of my daily life. I share my home with two dogs, who enjoy their walks as soon as I return home, as well as my cats, who are part of my evening routine. This firsthand experience as a pet owner helps me understand the importance of consistency, exercise, affection, and attentive care. In addition to my availability during the school year, I have school vacations, holidays, and summers off, which provides greater flexibility to accommodate your schedule and your pets' needs. I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and professional care so you can feel confident that your pets are in excellent hands. I provide attentive, personalized care in your home so that your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand that consistency is important for reducing stress and helping pets feel secure while their families are away. During each visit, I ensure that your pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty areas, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor breaks, and interactive play tailored to their energy level and needs. For cats, I provide feeding, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and quiet companionship on their terms. I am experienced in caring for rescue, senior, and special-needs pets, including administering oral medications when needed. I take the time to observe each pet’s behavior and overall well-being, and I will promptly communicate any concerns. I also respect your home and will keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and pet spaces clean and tidy. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving loving, professional care.

About: I attended animal science school for a year, where I learned about different dog breeds, grooming, behavior, and training techniques. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any routines or special care instructions to make sure your dog gets the best care possible. I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, so pet care fits best into my mornings, evenings, nights, and weekends. My schedule is very flexible though! I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, and lots of attention before and after work, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I also keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: I have always had a way with animals. They seem able to feel the peace and caring in me so that aren’t afraid.I am personable and genuinely care for people and animals . I am 58 years old and have extra time to take care of your pet. I don’t work a full time job anymore so I am available mostly anytime I am needed If you need me to stay in your home to care for your pet, I am respectful of your house and everything within it. I own my house and know the anxiety of leaving someone you don’t know in your home wondering what your home will look like when you get back. Your home will look exactly the same as it did when you left. Possibly even clear than when you left.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I saw my first one. Caring for animals is one of my favorite things to do. I want to make sure they are so comfortable, it’s like you never left. My partner Rebecca is, naturally, every animal’s best friend. She brings a calming vibe to the space that is hard to achieve for everybody. I am 18 years old and a full time high school student meaning I will be available any time from Friday night - Sunday evening. We have a very carefully crafted schedule for all of our pets at home. Making the dog feel comfortable and cared for is my biggest priority.

About: I have my own cat Anya and she is one of the most important things to me. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Since I was young, I could always connect with other people’s pets, many times they would say wow he/she never let’s anyone do that etc. I often feel that I connect better with animals than with people.” I work at a kennel in auburn ny from 8am to 10am in the morning and evening from 4-5:30 but before and after that I try to fill in my time as much as possible seeing and taking care of as many animals as possible I have my own cat Anya but as far as taking care of your animals it would have to be at your place of residence. I offer walking, sitting, overnights, feeding etc. I don’t board any more pets at my residence.
