Dog Sitting Bloomingdale

About: [PSA: Aug. Sept. Oct. - limited 'high energy' bookings. Sprain Recovery] Hello! I have years of pet care experience under my belt. Throughout my childhood I was able to grow my love and knowledge of many animals. I had cats dogs and small mammals like hamsters and bunnies growing up I got to help care for and learn about. During my teen years I helped family friends and neighbors with their pets including cats, dogs and even goats and chickens. With a solid foundation in feeding, walking, grooming, medicating, and playing with animals, I look forward to meeting and helping out many more pets throughout my twenties and beyond. [Daytime sits: ends before 9pm] [Night sits: flexibility for me to tend to my critters and other local recurring bookings.] Currently looking to go back to school, growing my expertise as a pet walker and sitter, and taking care of my own pets. I’ll have the free time and consistent schedule to check in and provide care for local pets as well. Safety trust and environment are a must when it comes to pet care. Environmentally I have my eyes peeled for hazards that could harm or cause illness in an animal, and remove those things to where they can’t be a problem. In building trust, I start every interaction with pet psychology in mind. I let them approach me with all of their senses first. Once they become interested in getting to know me, I can continue to show them I’m a safe person through gentle and secure actions on my part like walking carefully and taking softly.

About: I've helped take care of friends and families pets throughout my life. While I have no pets of my own due to my living space, I can't wait to meet your fur babies and add them to my list of friends! Before transitioning to independent pet care, I spent years working as a Seafood Manager. In that role, I was directly responsible for strict food safety protocols, meticulous sanitation, and managing high-stakes daily operations. I bring that exact same level of professional detail, reliability, and cleanliness into your home. You can trust that your pet's medication schedules, dietary restrictions, and safety protocols will be followed precisely. Dedicated Time Blocks: I structure my schedule around dedicated morning to mid-day walking blocks (8 AM – 3 PM) and evening check-ins to ensure consistency. I am available for other times depending on the day as well. Punctuality First: As a former manager, I view schedules as strict commitments. Your pets will be fed, walked, and checked on at their exact scheduled times .Overnight Consistency: For house-sitting clients, I maintain a reliable presence in your home, aligning my routine with your pet’s natural sleep and wake cycles. Required Meet & Greets: I schedule a brief, mandatory introductory meeting before confirming any booking to ensure your timeline fits perfectly with my availability. My Safety & Care Protocols: For Your Dogs: Secure Equipment Checks: I double-check collars, harnesses, and leashes before stepping outside. I never allow off-leash play in unsecured areas. Behavior Awareness: I maintain high alertness on walks to avoid strange dogs, hazards, or triggers. For Your Cats: Visual Verification: I never leave a home without physically spotting your cat in their preferred zone to guarantee they are safe. Respectful Interaction: I let shy or independent cats set the pace, never forcing interaction or causing stress. Home & Trust Management: Manager-Level Cleanliness: I keep feeding stations pristine, wash food bowls daily, and strictly manage trash and litter box sanitation. Secure Lockups: I follow entry, alarm, and key management instructions flawlessly to protect your home. Real-Time Transparency: You will receive clear photo updates and a detailed status summary text during every single booking.

“Mark was fantastic! I could tell right from the start that he was going to try his darnedest to get my shy Moira to connect on his visits - when he instantly started to practice the high-pitched voice I use which Moira best responds to on our initial visit lol! Right out of the gate I think he was able to find her under the bed and engage with Churu! While she didn't allow contact every single day - I have no doubt that he tried and he even succeeded on several. I definitely felt safe having Mark taking care of my shy lil' girl.”

“Alicia was great with our cats! Plenty of detailed updates and pictures. Friendly and on time, I'm sure our cat's looked forward to her visits!”

About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

About: I have 5 pets of my own; 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are my world, truly. I have had pets most of my life, and have watched other peoples pets previously. Comfortable giving meds, feeding, playing, snuggling, etc. Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross). Have assisted with dog rescues & fosters. No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me. At home we have an electric fence for the dogs, and our cats are strictly indoors. At a client’s home, I will provide all the necessary and recommended care asked from the parents. I am very respectful and responsible. You wouldn’t even know I was there; respecting others’ property is important for me. Remain clean, professional, and respectful.

“Jennifer is HIGHLY recommended for all your sitting needs. She knows dogs and has a great rapport with them. Additionally, it is very easy to contact Jennifer. She answers almost immediately.”

“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”

About: I love all kinds of animals and would love to help you out with your fur babies! I have experience with reactive/emotional pets and have dog sit for friends and family in the past. I also love staying active and would love to take your dog on a walk so they get their exercise too:) I have school 3 days a week and am free most afternoons/evenings to help out anyone who needs a drop in or walk for their fur baby:) I have pet sit for friends/family before and always make sure animals are fed, walked, and sleeping. I cannot take animals in my own home as my dog is pretty protective/reactive:)

“Wendy did a fabulous job watching our two fur babies! Being out of the country I'm always frightened the AC will stop working for some odd reason, but she assured me that the house remained cool the entire time. Located in the same town as me, she could come to the house quickly if needed. The house was clean and tidy just like we left it. We'll definitely use her on our next trip!”

About: I live at home with my parents in a small 3 bedroom ranch home. Our property is about half an acre, but is not fenced in. There’s a dog park not far that is a safe place to take them to burn some energy. I have two of my own dogs who are wholly a part of our family and we treat them like any other family member. I have an undergraduate degree that provided me with a lot of exposure to animals of all sizes and breeds. Between these two facts, I am happy to make new four-legged friends and take the time to learn how they best thrive in the time we have with them on this earth. I currently have a full-time office job in West Caldwell, NJ. I work until 5pm during the week, and typically available by 5:30pm during the week. Weekends are fairly open for lots of playtime with your furry family! I have two very friendly dogs at home that we treat like any other family member. I will do my best to show that same respect to your pets and maintain your pet’s normal routine while you are away.

“I had a wonderful experience with Ligiane! Her thoughtfulness and excellent communication skills put me at ease while I was away. They kept me updated regularly and went the extra mile to ensure I felt comfortable as a first time with a cat sitter and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring animal sitter.”

Ana D.

“First time I have used a pet sitter for my 2 pups, I had Lidia come over for 2 drop in visits while I was away for Thanksgiving day. She followed the instructions I left to the tee and kept me updated on how Dante and Preston were doing. I could not be happier with the job she did and will book her again when needed.”

“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)! We can’t express how happy we are to have found Aletris and I know our kitty felt the same way! Will definitely be hiring them again for future pet sitting needs!”
