If you in need of a professional (licensed and insured) Pet Sitter/ Dog Walker in the Freehold, Manalapan, Howell, Marlboro area please reach out.
I have been in business since 2007, do this full time, as do all professional pet sitters.
This is my business and my life’s purpose to work with animals.
My business is built on Honesty, Integrity, Reliability and Respect for your Pet.
If you think we are a good match then please reach out.
We’ll do an in depth phone consultation then a one hour in person consultation where I get to know you and your pet (s) and go over all the information needed for pet care services.
I also come to see your pet again a few days before pet services begin to foster a positive pet care experience.
One thing I hear a lot from potential clients who become clients, is that I’m very thorough. It’s just my personality, but for this field it is non negotiable.
I take care of living beings and my thoroughness and business policies eliminate any potential disasters such as miscommunications for pet care.
I text you daily while you are away or at work with reports of how your pet is doing as well as pictures. Pets under my care always do very well and are happy while their owners are away or at work.
If you are done being on the non professional pet care carousel, always having to look for someone new because the person you had caring for your pet isn’t doing this anymore, then make the move to the stability and competence that a professional pet sitter/ dog walker provides. We provide peace of mind. This is also something I hear from clients as well, that they don’t worry about their pets while I’m taking care of them.
Here is an important fact- since non professionals often charge the same as professional pet sitters, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain such as your pet sitter always showing up, not cancelling on you last minute and taking phenomenal care of your pet. A licensed, insured pet sitter is always there for you and your pet.
We love our clients and without you we can’t do this job we love so much.
My business is Pets Home Companion, LLC and you can find my business pages on nextdoor, Facebook and Instagram.
Hope to meet you and your pet soon!

Please remember to support your local Professional Pet Sitters.
These are the people who are devoted to your animals and devoted to their business of taking care of animals full time, 365 days a year.
They are the ones who will be there for you and your pets not just for the one time you are posting on nextdoor of Facebook looking for pet care, but for your pet’s lifetime.
I am astounded at the amount of posts I see on Nextdoor and Facebook where people post asking anyone- basically a stranger to come into their home and take care of their animals. Why would you trust a stranger with your home and pet? This is concerning on so many levels.
I have been in business (licensed business) since 2007 and have devoted my life to taking care of animals and improving the quality of their lives. I carry liability insurance and bonding insurance for my business.
All professional pet sitters carry liability insurance which is renewable and billed yearly, costs hundreds, and protects your pet and your home in their care custody and control.
A licensed, insured professional pet sitter is not the one you need to worry about having in your home.
No one would go through the expense and the trouble of owning and operating a business if they are not doing it for their love of animals. Not to mention dedicating their time to their business as we work very long days that only a few can manage.
We have skills and knowledge that surpasses that of someone offering to take care of animals as a side hustle.
I personally have a big focus on animal behavior and I incorporate this into my pet sitting business.
Caring for animals shouldn’t be treated like ordering an Uber. Not anyone can do it., not everyone should do it, not everyone is qualified just because they say they love animals.
There is so much more to taking care of an animal successfully while the pet owner is away than just having a love of animals. Success. That’s the difference.
For a dog owner to come back from vacation and have their home in the original condition as when they left, know their dogs were taken outside as agreed upon, sometimes more often, no potty accidents, they ate all their meals because they were feeling secure with their Pet Sitter, and coming back to a happy dog- This is success.
For a cat owner to come back from vacation to their cat having eaten their meals as usual, litter box cleaned twice a day, which is so important, not hiding while the owner is away, and enjoying attention and affection from their Pet Sitter- This is success.
This is the kind of success that pet sitters create every day for multiple clients at a time.
And we work really hard for this success. Your animal’s well being is the reason we do what we do.
Healthy and happy animals. This is success.
This is what professional pet sitters provide.
We do this every day, nights, weekends, holidays so that our clients can leave for work or go on vacation and leave their pets in trusted, reliable hands with someone who TRULY loves their pets like they do.
I value my clients and they value me and appreciate the care I give to their pets.
Having a pet sitter who is a professional you know and trust is invaluable. There is no greater success than that.

Silent bond.
The bond between humans and animals is one that has fascinated many people, myself included, since animals and humans both existed in harmony.
It is a bond that runs deep.
It is a bond like no other.
I have always known this since growing up with my White German Shepherd, Katie. We were inseparable. I always felt the need to be near her.
Several years ago in my business I had laryngitis and bronchitis at the same time.
I literally had no voice for 10 days.
It was during this time that I realized how much of our bond with animals does not depend on speaking.
I couldn’t speak. They still felt my love.
The dogs “listened” to me on our walks. They didn’t miss a beat.
There is no stronger statement that my bond with animals works off of internal communication.
To supplement this, when I needed a dog’s attention on the walk I lightly tapped them by their waist, they then followed my next lead.
I also used a clicker training tool to get their attention.
I was surprised how easily and effortlessly the pet sitting visits went.
Of course animals need to hear our voice and it is not really our words that’s important it’s the tone of voice and how we speak directly to them that’s important. From that they can gauge our intention.
So- by all means please keep speaking to your pets! They need to hear your voice.
But they also need touch and non verbal cues from you to understand what you want from them.
That was a pretty fascinating 10 days for me and it reinforced feelings I’ve always had~ that animals and humans connect beyond words.

It’s so sad to me that people don’t look for the owners of found cats before offering them up for “adoption” on social media, which can be very scary. Here’s what to do.
🐈‍⬛Found Cat Protocol
Please follow my advice.
🐾Just remember found animals cannot be re-homed by you. You have to make an effort by law to find the owner and if not turn over to Animal Control who will take to the shelter your town contracts with.
⬇️
Please knock on your neighbors door’s within a mile radius of where you found the cat.
It’s the law to report a found pet to the local police department as well as Animal Control and should also be reported to the shelter that Animal Control for the town contracts with.
Owners who have lost their pets will make a LOST pet report and Police and Animal Control work together to reunite the found pets.
Lost cats have patterns and they usually stay within a mile and most are found much closer to home as in a couple houses away or next street over.
Hand out cat flyers, speak to people.
Post flyers up on poles as well.
Please be sure to get proof of ownership before handing the cat over.
Call the local police and Animal Control to see if there was a missing pet report made the matches.
Take to any Vet for the free service of scanning for a microchip.
And thank you for helping this Kitty. Animals choose their rescuers. We cannot let them down.
