Dog Sitting in Union Beach

About: Hi, my name is Christina! I’m 33 years old and a proud single mom of two wonderful kids. We’re a loving, active household that adores animals, and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, love, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles on the couch, or keeping up with their routines, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and right at home. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I’d love to help care for your dog while you’re away! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. As a mom, I’m already used to keeping a structured schedule, and I enjoy starting and ending my days with walks, feedings, and plenty of playtime. My kids and I love spending time outdoors, so including dogs in our activities—like walks around the neighborhood or playtime in the yard—comes naturally. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and lots of love. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, not something I squeeze in—it’s a natural part of how I spend my days. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I follow their regular routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddle time—so they feel at ease. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space for play and relaxation, and I give each pet lots of love and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pet feels cared for and secure. I stick to the owner’s instructions, keep everything clean, and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind. Whether it’s daily walks, fresh food and water, administering medications, or just giving extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels happy and loved while you’re away.

About: I have been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember. I am certified in Dog Training Knowledge from Catch Academy, a nationally recognized organization based in New Jersey. Additionally, in my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am available at anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I will do my best to work around your schedule and be available when needed. I will review all necessary information with you about your dog and his/her needs. I will follow your directions to ensure that you feel comfortable with me in your home and with me spending time with your dog. I will treat your home and dog with the utmost respect and care.

“Stephanie was able to help us in such a loving way with our two cats. She was responsive and very loving and caring will definitely hire her back.”

About: I’ve owned a small dog since 2017 and have been taking care of many different kinds of dogs since I was around 11 years old. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities through family, friends, and neighbors, including medium and large breeds. I’ve also dog sat and walked regularly, so I’m comfortable handling different routines and energy levels. What sets me apart is my reliability and my ability to read dog body language. I pay close attention to how dogs are feeling and adjust to their needs, whether they’re playful, anxious, or more laid-back. Animals tend to trust me quickly, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine alongside school and my part-time job. I’m doing this to gain even more hands-on experience with animals because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting around my schedule, and I make sure to only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I also volunteer at an animal shelter, which has given me additional experience working with different types of animals and temperaments. Because of this, caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities while still giving animals the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. For dog walking, I make sure each walk matches the dog’s energy level, whether that’s a quick potty break or a longer, more active walk. I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to keep them safe at all times. For pet sitting, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care routines. I spend quality time with pets so they feel comfortable and not alone, whether that’s playing, relaxing with them, or just being present. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes, keeping everything clean and secure. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure to provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have had dogs all of my life and have been caring for them as well. I currently have 4 dogs of my own, one being my working dog. Working with a dog every single day is a dream come true and I would love to continue sharing my love and knowledge of dogs to others. I work full time for the government and currently get out at 2pm. After that I would love to help anyone else who is in need of assisting or taking their pets out for walks and playing with them. In my home, I have a fenced in yard around my entire house and let my animals run around. I also take them on walks around the neighborhood to get them out of that same area.

About: As a part-time nurse, I spend my days caring for people in a fast-paced environment, so on my days off I love slowing things down by caring for dogs instead. Pet care gives me a chance to unwind while still helping others and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I have 5+ years of experience with dog walking, boarding, and in-home sitting, with multiple references available. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities, from tiny Frenchies to 100-pound bullies, and I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re away.

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

“Iwona dropped by to feed our baby while we were out of town for several days and was prompt each day with her reports. She also came by for a pre-visit to get our key and meet the kitty :)”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.

About: I've cared for animals since very young. I have proffesional experience working at a resort for dogs where I rendered boarding, daycare, as well dog walking services. I have two small children, so I will not be available between the hours of 7am-9am and 3:30pm-5:30pm. I am available some weekends. I am also not available Thursdays. All dogs will be accommodated to the specific needs and level care, appropriate, for each individual dog. Dogs that need more play and exercise will also have the option of being taken to dog parks for an additional fee 🥰🫶🏼

About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs, our friends dogs, and our own dogs for as long as i can remember. I love animals. I grew up having all different animals in the house, so I have much experience with them, and would love to take care of other local fur friends. I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible! I am available any day of the week for drop ins, and walks. Whichever you prefer! I care for fur friends in others homes by always keeping their animals safe, fed, and loved as if their owner was there with them.
