Dog Sitting in Basking Ridge

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 for members within my community. I have dog sat for dogs off all sizes and ages. I also love to teach dogs new skills and give them plenty of play time and attention! Additionally, I have experience working with dogs with behavioral issues as well! I currently am working part time and I am free completely on the weekends. During the day I will take your pet on 2-3 long walks and shorter potty breaks in between if needed (depending on the dog) In my home I keep the upstairs level gated off if your pet is unsupervised. Otherwise, I do my best to let your pet get adjusted and comfortable in their new environment.

“Anneliese took amazing care of our fur babies! She was super responsive, kept us updated with messages and photos, and was such a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again. Thank you!!”

About: I am a local college student available to care for your furry “baby”; providing love and care as you would while away.  I have experience caring for range of pet ages understanding the needs of younger pets (exercise, stimulation) as well as older pets (mobility, meds, etc.).  Either way I take my time and exercise patience in getting your dog comfortable and happy with me caring for them.  My goal is to be their “stand in pet parent” and care and love for them as they way you do.   I believe to do that it is important to gain trust and confidence with meeting beforehand if that works for you.  I hope to make your pet feel comfortable so that their stay or care with me will be an enjoyable one for them, and a reassuring one for you. I am a college student - where I work my schedule to be available for your pet’s needs. I have taken care of my dog of 15 years and understand being available with the different needs of a young puppy to a more older dog. I will provide attentive, loving care by following their routine, giving plenty of affection, exercise, and patience, while creating a calm, safe, and loving environment.

About: I’ve taken care of animals in all shapes and sizes! I’ve always loved taking care of my family and friends’ animals (despite feeling like I’m cheating on my Portuguese water dog at home). If you need a reliable caretaker, I’m always willing to help! I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of free time on my hands! Weekends are typically difficult for me with another job but I’m available any day during the week. Mondays and Wednesdays after 3pm work best for me and any times on Tuesdays Thursdays and early Fridays. I prefer taking care of pets at the clients home as I have pets of my own at my house. I love long walks and will be very accommodating to what the client prefers!

“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”

“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”

About: a dog owner myself and living in an area surrounded by owners who I’ve helped over the years to take care either walk, stay over night, or just a cuddle buddy, I’ve worked from puppies all the way to senior puppies I work full time but my hours vary each day so I know what days work better and will be able to help anyone whenever requests assistance for their loving furry friend my dog is trained off leash, but I don’t have a fenced backyard I love at a dead end so I have a lot of space to run around if need but a big area in neighborhood for walks to the park or just in town.

“Mike was very punctual and super responsive! Our dog Mimi took to him immediately which made us feel at ease.”

About: We love our dog but we aren’t crazy dog people. Our home is clean. We have a friendly husky and a large fenced yard. We don’t leave for longer than 2 hours when we have a dog over and generally take 1 guest dog at a time. We work from home and only watch when we can be here every 2 hours. We don’t go out for more than 2 hours with a dog staying. I have a big fenced yard and a friendly husky that will keep your pet entertained. We also have a great dog walking neighborhood and path.

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I currently work as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is very flexible. I also will be off relaxing all summer (trying to rest as much as possible before law school starts). I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.

“Samantha was healthy and happy to see me when I returned. Couldn't ask for more.”

About: I have had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember (since I was four, to be exact) - I know how to deal with the barking, gently wrestle a leash onto the wriggliest of pups, feed them on schedule even when they beg for early dinner, and give them all the love they could possibly need. I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after my dogs for years, and I am so excited to get to do that for other pups too! I am a college student home from school and have extreme flexibility with my schedule. I have a car, so I can drive to your house to take care of your pooch as needed at almost any time between 8 am and 6 pm. The most important thing for me when taking care of pets is their comfort. As much as I love to cuddle our fur babies, if they don’t like physical touch I will give them their space. I am happy to play tug of war, fetch, and even let them chase me around outside (I understand needs change depending on the breed). I feed them as instructed and on schedule (having trained myself to resist even the cutest of puppy eyes begging for extra treats) and make sure they only get what their owners have left for them to have. I also love taking dogs on walks for exercise, both for their sake and my own!

About: My family has had 25+ animals ever since I was little. I have cared for high maintenance animals and active dogs and I love it! I am a college student so I can see your pet at least in the morning and afternoon but depending on the day times will vary. Whatever is needed for your pet I can do and I will respect any rules you have to protect them. I can not have any pet at my home but I will come pick up your pet.

About: I give personalized care to every pet. I also have experience with dogs, whether it’s reinforcing basic training or providing attentive care, I adjust my approach to fit them. I plan my schedule around consistency and reliability. I make sure pets get timely walks, meals, playtime and specific care they need. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I intentionally structure my time around. In a client’s home I focus on maintaining their normal schedule so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at ease.

“Homero and Sasha were in great hands and im thankful to have found you to look after them while I was away! Thank you so much for the daily updates and pictures that made my day !😊”

About: From puppy energy to senior calm, I bring reliable, loving care so your dog feels safe, happy, and cherished while you’re away! Happy to help! Pup care fits into my hybrid schedule easily. I’m free on weekends/the end of the week, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for dogs. My home is best suited for small dogs. I live alone in a safe, puppy-proof one bedroom with plenty of sunlight. Comfort, safety, and special needs care are my priority.

About: I recently was a manager at an interactive aquarium and petting zoo. I’ve also had experience with multiple different types of animals for 10 plus years. I love being outdoors so your furry friend and I will get along great! I’m currently searching for a part time job so I have ample time for all your furry friend’s needs. I like to be physically active and go on walks daily so I would enjoy having a companion to go with. I am available for pet sitting in your home, as well as daily dog walks. My skills include feeding, medications, bathing and grooming, excersizing, and playing. I am also willing to help with any additional services you may require.

“Jordyn did a great job today with Dash. She was on time and immediately started playing with our puppy. Dash really took to her which put us at ease. We felt he was in good hands. Great job!”
