House Sitting Bergenfield

About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.

“Danielle was just amazing! She was house sitting for us and took wonderful care of our 13-year-old dog and 2-year-old cat, giving them lots of love and attention while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, which allowed us to enjoy a worry-free vacation. I would definitely ask for her help on our next trip. Highly recommended!”

“We just had Jalisa watch our dog Chewy for the first time and it was wonderful. Chewy is a bit of a nervous guy and Jalisa was very understanding. She gave us updates throughout the stay. We already have her booked for another weekend.”

“Marco went above and beyond to care for our senior dog! Our pup is a bit particular and he doesn’t cuddle newcomers often. However Rocket warmed up to Marco and even slept with him! Plus Marco took wonderful care of our home. We’ll book him again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have lifelong experience raising and caring for pets, including raising my own Akita from 9 weeks old up to 14 years. Navigating his senior years gave me deep, hands-on experience with elder pet care and specialized needs. I've also raised a second Akita, care for a cat, and have professional experience working at a doggy daycare kennel. I am incredibly responsible, attentive, and passionate about giving every animal the dedicated care they deserve! I work full-time as a school paraprofessional and get off work at 3:30 PM. This means my late afternoons and evenings are completely dedicated to dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat care! I am also fully free and available all day on weekends for flexible pet sitting. Here is a ready-to-use paragraph for that **"Safety, trust & environment"** section in **image_3.png**! It combines your responsible background, your experience with both dogs and cats, and exactly how you'll care for their homes: > "When caring for pets in your home, safety, structure, and respect are my absolute top priorities. Because of my background, I am highly reliable, detail-oriented, and excellent at maintaining consistent routines to keep your pets feeling safe and stress-free. I have personal experience managing a multi-pet home with both a dog and a cat, so I know exactly how to keep everyone happy and secure. I strictly follow all feeding, walking, and household instructions, ensure all doors and gates are locked tight, and will always leave your home clean and respected.

“Absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for better. My Oliver instantly loved her and so did I. Highly recommended and will be using Tatiana again. Couldn't be happier and feel more comfort leaving my baby boy- Thank you ; )”

About: I have been caring for dogs since 2020, with experience providing dog sitting, overnight care, and boarding for friends, family, neighbors, and Rover clients. I have cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I enjoy spending time outdoors, making plenty of time for walks, playtime, and quality time with pets. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and needs! I treat every pet like my own! I carefully follow their routine and any instructions from their owner while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“I would highly recommend Asel as a pet sitter. She is considerate, responsible, reliable and wonderful with animals. Asel stayed in our home for 11 nights and took care of our dog and cat. Our cat is very easy, but our dog is a fairly new rescue who is a scared dog and often does not want to go outside for walks. Asel was very patient and bonded very quickly with both animals. She sent us pictures and updates every day during our trip. We came home to 2 very happy animals and our home was just as we left it!”

“Stuart was great with Ollie and we’d definitely recommend him !”

“Pete is one of the best dog sitters I've ever worked with. He's very much a dog person and had an intuitive sense for how my dog Bandit was doing. He was very effective in taking care of Bandits' needs including some special medical foods and procedures required. And he's flexible -- he was able to also take care of my daughter's dog Brandy for some of the time while he was also taking care of Bandit. He also is an effective communicator and regularly sent us texts and pictures, as well as knowing when to ask questions if there might be a problem that arose. He's just very good. I highly recommend Pete (although please don't hire him when I need him). Thanks.”

“Scarlet was amazing with Ollie and Coco. She was super nice and very considerate while staying at someone else’s home. Thank you for making it a little easier for us to leave our fur babies!”

About: I will ensure your pet will get exercise and love when they are with me. I will play with toys, and give them endless belly rubs. I walk my dogs frequently throughout the day. I play with them as much as they want to play, and I give them lots of love and attention. I do this for all of my family members’ and friends’ pets as well, whenever I care for them. I am available to start caring for your pets today up until July 1st, which is when I will be getting my work schedule for my nursing career. After that, I am willing to work around my nursing schedule to care for your fur babies. I have a 3 year old mini Goldendoodle and a 12 year old golden retriever. I take them on multiple walks through out the day, feed them twice daily, ensure they have enough exercise and give them lots of love and play time. I will do the same for your family pets!

“This was our second time Amelia house sat for our dog. She is attentive, professional, and extremely conscience when watching our pug. She is easy to get in touch with and has a positive attitude. She is a very clean house guest. We would continue to book her for our overnight travels!”

“I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”

Diane H.

“We are so happy to have found Mia! When she walked into our home to meet our pup, Koko immediately ran to her. It made it so easy to leave Koko for the weekend knowing that she was with someone so sweet and trustworthy.”
