Pet Sitting Waterford

“We had a really great experience with Nicole! Our dog can be a little nervous with new people, but she was patient and made us (and our dog!) feel comfortable right away. She was on time, very communicative, and reliable. We really appreciated how well she took care of him and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker.”

About: I Have a whole lot of love and patience to give when you cant be with your fury companion. I have had dogs for 25 years (lost my longtime ones of 14/16 years old years back) and Because my heart still yearned to wanting to provide that love and quality of life every animal deserves, I turned to dog sitting and rescue/foster. I have a clean home with a fenced in yard. I want your pet to feel comfortable in their surroundings and will cater to the life they typically lead when with you(laying w me, play time ,walks, treat time, med administer, etc). When your fur baby leaves, I want them to leave happy and waiting for their next return. For the most part I only take 1 Dog at a time. I will always have my 4.5 year old Terrier mix Female. She is 11 pounds. (Very love able and low key. She was a “foster fail” who We just couldn’t part with. She fairs well w smaller, low key dogs). I will also consider caring for caged small birds/animals as I have done so for clients. It will be an extra $5-$10 per day. I Always send updates and pics while in my care. I would love to talk w you about your fur baby. Please feel free to reach out. Please also understand the communication process for meet and greets and bookings is imperative.to maintain(within 24 hour responses), or I will offer the inquiry of date to the next person that wishes to proceed immediately. Example: Request booking or meet and greet, I respond I’m available and don’t hear back within 24 hrs w a set date to proceed. I like to be fair to my fur baby customers who truly need me. All my best! I do work outside of the home. During that time your pup will be have everything they need to relax (I play gentle dog relaxing music in the background). My fury house guests just love this so! It’s a calming effect. I have a fenced in yard, always give lots of attention(endless belly rubs), and provide A relaxing, low key environment. I want them to enjoy their time Here.

“This was my first time using Rover & I happened upon Kat after pouring over all the sitters in my area. I knew right away she was who I wanted to take care of my fur babies when I’m out of town. After a meet greet the kitties and I loved her. She’s a vet tech by profession, animal CPR certified & a mom to many fur babies herself. I felt content & safe leaving my world in her hands & knew if there was a problem that she’d be able to use her skills, judgment and background to handle it. Bonus she sends pictures & videos & I loved this:)... I plan on utilizing her from here on out & you should too!! You won’t be disappointed!!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and developed a genuine love for animals from an early age. I have sat and taken care of friends’ and families' pets over the years. While in high school my mother and I fostered dogs while they waited to be adopted. In addition, I spent 2.5 years working at a locally owned pet store, where I gained hands-on experience with pet care, behavior, and nutrition. I am widely available during the week besides scheduled appointments, errands, and housework. I have reliable transportation and keep an organized schedule so there is no overlap. Each animal should feel safe in their home while their owner is away, so I work calmly and patiently to earn their trust through my actions. Your dog should know I am there for their well-being, including all the good things like snuggling, playing, and tail wags. I treat each client's home with the kindness and respect I would want in return if the roles were reversed. I follow all instructions and information provided to the best of my ability, and your dog will receive plenty of love in the process.

“Hailey is highly recommended! She did some drop ins to cleanup and care for our cat while we were traveling. Hailey sent us pictures and updates each visit and was very responsive. Thank you, Hailey!”

About: I used to work at boarding/doggy daycare facility for two years so I have experience with walking dogs, properly taking care of them, and keeping them safe and clean! I miss working work animals and I’m excited to start again! I do work a full time job, but i do have off every other weekend and am available every day during the week between 8am and 2pm. I would love for my clients to tell me about their fur baby, ex. Any behavior or things their baby may or may not like and their home, ex. If they have a fenced in yard or not. All of this or any information is helpful so I know how to best keep your baby safe!

“Delaney is a sweetie and dependable! She was put in an awkward situation, but handled it like a champ while exercising the dogs for over an hour! (Thanks again for that learning experience) My Shiba requires medication twice a day and she has no problems handling that. I will definitely continue to rebook Delaney.”

About: My name is Rashad I am a 32 year old who has always had a strong love for pets. I am local to the Blackwood area but I will travel to care for your animals personally. I have personally owned 3 dogs, a Weimaraner named Bella, pitbull terrier mix named Jay and a toy sized Yorkshire terrier named Chloe. Unfortunately I am no longer a pet owner but I still I hope to be able to watch over some other furry companions to fill the void that has been made by their absence. I have experience as a manager at Petco so not only do I know how to care for dogs, I am well versed in the basic needs for most reptiles, birds, cats, and other small animals.I have no problem accepting pets that are not spayed or neutered for some reason rover won’t let me change that setting on my profile, so please disregard. I hope to share my affinity for pets with other pet parents while they allow me to host their fur children and look forward to yet again feeling the comfort of a four legged friend in my home. I work a rotating schedule with 12 hour shifts at a healthcare facility. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date but I am flexible so I do encourage you to reach out to me directly with an inquiries about dates and times I am available. I’m typically available early mornings and in the evening on the days I’m working but on my off days I am ready to be an all day companion for your furry friend! I have many years experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breed. I know how important it is to provide a safe and friendly environment to our four legged friends. I always try and approach any arrangement with both the owners and pets best interest in mind. I look forward to crafting a safe and trustworthy environment for your furever friends.

“Yara did a great job with our kitty, Domino. She was good with communication and following instructions and gave us timely feedback. I would use Yara again if the need arises.”

About: I’ve owned 3 dogs in my life & all of them I have trained from puppyhood into adulthood. I make sure life is full of play, adventure, and structure. I have been a reliable pet sitter for many of my friends & family! I currently WFH and have a 5 month old puppy. I am able to visit during the daytime starting early afternoon and into the evenings for play, walks, as well as enrichment/activities. I treat your pet and your home as I would mine or if a visitor came to mine. I understand putting the most valuable things in your life into the care of someone else and I take that very seriously. I guarantee professionalism and a visit that follows your instructions from the moment I park, along with your desired routine for your pet during the visit and from locking up and leaving to ensure your pets safety and comfortability.

“We had a very good experience with Shannon! We contacted her last minute and she was very accommodating. Shannon seemed very sweet and genuine, which are refreshing qualities! She came by our house everyday and made sure our two cats Ozzie and Dude were feed, clean and happy. We even received pictures. I would use and recommend Shannon’s services again . She was awesome ! Thanks again Shannon!”

About: I have been a pet owner to most animals over 30 years. I have experience in all breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even alpacas. I love to play with them in the yard, I make sure they have water at all times and I stick with their schedule for eating. Animals are like my children though I do have human older children too. I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have had many dogs over the years and even a few cats. When my children were young they each had their own guinea pig and chicken. Yes I said chicken.!! I recently bought an alpaca who lives on a beautiful farm and I go and visit him often. My main job I work from home but my pets are never by themselves for longer than 4-5 hours. I have owned pets my whole adult life and could never see myself not having this wonderful responsibility! I make sure when arriving at a clients house that I greet each pet. Then we got outside for potty break and playtime. I normally stay about 30 minutes. I make sure they have fresh water and give them a treat if allowed.

“Abby was absolutely wonderful! I was in a pinch and needed someone to come over and check on my dog the same day. I blindly reached out to her, she responded quickly and was able to make it happen! We then had her come check on our dog the following 2 days as well. She let me know when she was on her way and gave me thorough updates throughout. I’ll absolutely be using her again and if highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I'm Shania! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you've come to the right place. — I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog and a cat of my own, and my family has frequently cared for friends' pets while they were away. Those experiences taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. — I currently have a dog; his name is Sport, and he is 15 years old, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and consistency are–especially with senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I'm happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable. — When your pet is with me, they won't just be "watched." They'll receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and making them feel safe and happy is always my top priority. — I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands. — I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️ 📆 I'm currently a full-time college student, but I carefully schedule my availability to ensure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. • Fridays and weekends are completely open for bookings. 
• During the summer, I'm available throughout the week as well.
 From 8 am to 10:30 pm. • I never overbook because I want every pet to receive personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. If you have questions about scheduling or special requests, feel free to message me! My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very walkable, with plenty of grassy areas perfect for walks, sniffing adventures, and exercise. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first. I'll make sure they have a calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks or your cat prefers lounging in a sunny spot, I'll make sure they have a comfortable stay.

“Kara was wonderful. She had a very good, positive attitude and was very willing to do anything that I needed done. Kara was also very quick to respond anytime I sent her a message. I will request her to take care of my cats again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in our home and now have a dog of my own! I have experience with a variety of breeds - Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Lab, Malinois, Husky, Golden Retriever - and a variety of sizes! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and all breeds. I will love and treat your dog like my own and I am happy to help meet your pet’s needs. I have helped take care of my family pets, taken care of my own dog, dog and cat sat for neighbors, and taken many dogs on walks. I helped train a family puppy and continuously been working on training with my own dog - I am able to carry over any training you have been doing in my visits or walks. I am currently working full time and doing dog walking/drop in visits on the side. I am able to help in the morning and afternoon around my fixed schedule. In the summer I will have more availability due to working in the school district and can help more if you are looking for more frequent visits! I make sure the pet is comfortable in their environment, especially as they can be nervous with a new person. I care for them as you typically would to keep their routine the same.

About: What sets me apart is my background in veterinary medicine and animal care. I have over five years of experience working with animals and currently work as a Veterinary Assistant and Customer Service Representative at an animal hospital. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those requiring medications or extra attention. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for potential health concerns, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine due to having a structured schedule that allows me to reliably plan around animal care. I work Monday through Friday from 3–9 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–1 PM, which leaves me available in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays for consistent pet visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m very organized with scheduling, allowing me to ensure each pet receives care on time and maintains their normal routine. In my client’s home, I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided, and I pay close attention to each pet’s normal behaviors so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or energy. Creating a calm, familiar environment by respecting the pet’s space and allowing them to interact on their own terms is my priority, especially for more shy or anxious animals. Communication is important to me when it comes to my own animals, so I provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pet is being well cared for while they’re away.

“Isabella is great with my dog, happy I found her. I would highly recommend her.”
