Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.
“I would highly recommend MaryAnn for anyone looking to treat your pups as her own..her attention to detail and knowledge base makes this mother of two rest easily. I have the utmost confidence in her ability to expertly care for my pups. I also trust that if she needs to make quick decisions she will always have my pups safety at the forefront. She is a dog mom's best resource!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats throughout my entire life whether it was for working families, friends and neighbors in NJ! For a few years, I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter where I’d help bathe kittens, take their dogs outside and play with our furry friends seeking homes. Being around younger or older pets for years has allowed me to pick up signs and stay calm if accidents happen, whether your pet missed the litter box or regurgitated their meal. I’m always glad to help out where and when I can! I mostly work from home where I have a bit more control over my schedule. Early mornings or late evenings are always flexible! If I receive enough notice, I’m glad to accommodate your pets needs throughout the day on any weekday or weekends as well! I have prior experience being with a wide range of larger outdoor pets and smaller indoor pets who are cage trained or not. I’m glad to keep them company, spend time with their favorite toys and make sure they’re cleaned up after! From previous experience, I have a keen eye on a pets body language and can get a sense if some may need more space than others. However, I’ll always be accommodating if some pets need to let their energy out more than others! Similar to my own cat, on a daily basis, I make sure to set aside 30 minutes of play time with them in the day time and the evening to lessen the “zoomies”!
“Giselle was amazing. We just moved in and needed someone last minute to walk my dog. Giselle was respectful and reliable. She was also so sweet with my dog. I will absolutely be requesting her services in the future.”
“Booked last minute. Geoff communicated quickly, followed all instructions & took good care of my pup. He was very punctual and Fanta had a great time with him. Thank you”
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I am starting graduate school and I have a flexible schedule and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.
“First time meet and greet. Moe was skiddish, as expected but warmed up to Daniel pretty quickly and let him take for a nice walk. Was on time, respectful, and courteous.”
“Very reliable, and so loving with our pup - they were fast friends! She asked all the right questions and paid very close attention to details when working to meet our needs. Thank you Sabrina!”
“I could not recommend Carly enough! My dog had surgery and I was incredibly anxious to leave him with anyone, but I had to look around on Rover as he had to be supervised post-surgery while I went to work. Right from meeting her, both my dog and I loved her! She is so caring, accommodating, and communicative. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day. I honestly can’t wait to book her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and a pet sitter for about 15 years! I have taken care of many different dog breeds including elderly dogs, special needs, and those with high anxiety. I am experienced with training such as commands, bathroom problems, tricks, and leash training. I am a very active person so I have no problem going for long walks or runs with your fur friend and playing until they’re tired. In the past, I’ve taken dogs on long hikes, lake trips, and dog parks (doggy baths included of course). Additionally, I currently have two very friendly cats! That being said I am open to house visits for cats too as I am knowledgeable on how to care for them! Please make sure to read below: - Your safety is important to me! Please let me know in advance if you would prefer to meet with masks on and/or present my COVID vaccination card! - If your pet is aggressive or a runner, please let me know in advance so I am well prepared. - If you are unable to pay the rates on my profile, please message me so we can work something out :) I have a very laid back work schedule and little to no meetings throughout the day. My schedule will be worked around your pet to make sure they are having fun and getting attention! I have a pet safe home and my own pets will be kept separately from yours if they are to come here (unless they get along!). I can also easily crate your pet if that is what you prefer and continue any training that you are actively working on. At your home, I will make sure that all electronics that might be unsafe are off and all doors are locked. I am familiar with surveillance features installed with homes as well!
“I was so pleased with the Antony's service and commitment to caring for Winnie. Antony goes above and beyond to help. I am a repeat customer and he never disappoints. I’ve recommended Antony to all my friends and family, and I will continue to do so! You should definitely give him a try, you won't be disappointed.”
About: I’ve had a huge love for animals since I was young! I dog sit my aunts dog for 2 weeks every summer, and have been apart of a volunteer group at my college which dog sits 1-2 times a week overnight I love go get my experience in and would love to include walks with dogs/puppies whenever needed. Walking dogs would help me expand my experience with animals before applying to vet school! Making sure my clients are will well dressed and ready before taking them on fun long and safe walks. Making sure to clean up messes whilst walking around neighborhoods and keeping dogs safe based on owner instructions
About: Since childhood, I’ve grown up with pets and continue to be in awe of their unconditional love. I am known to be a warm and friendly person, who is honest and responsible. My friends, often count on me to take care of their fur babies because they trust me to do the right thing. The best part is - I only care for one pet at a time. That way, I am able to give all my attention to your fur baby, whether it is for a few hrs or for days, when you are away. Fun fact - more often that not, I will remember the pet’s name vs the pet parent’s name :) I am home most weekends and on holidays, which is when you may need a break! During weekdays, once I am back home from work around 5pm, I am available for a few hours to care for your baby. I also board or dog sit only one pet at a time, which means your pet gets all my attention and I get to give the love and care your baby deserves. I reside in a pet friendly community surrounded by parks and open spaces. If your pet likes to go on long walks, or likes belly rubs or just wants to cuddle, then we’re a match made in Heaven. Disclaimer - Don’t blame me if your pet starts liking me more :) lol
About: With years of caring for pets belonging to family and friends, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal needs and behavior. Ever since welcoming our family dog five years ago, I’ve become especially skilled at working with puppies with care and consistency. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away! I am currently a college student so I have some extra time to spend with your pets! My schedule allows me to accommodate last minute bookings. Everyone has a different way for caring for their pet. I will be sure to treat your animal with kindness and love like I treat my own but also enforce the same “rules” you may have for your pet.

Absolutely Wonderful Dog Walkers – Highly Recommend! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tracy and Steven! They are truly exceptional—kind, compassionate, loving, attentive, trustworthy, reliable, and incredibly professional. They have been absolutely fantastic with my two dogs, Milos and Beau! They are always punctual, dependable, and genuinely dedicated to providing the very best care. What makes them so special is their obvious love for dogs. Their warmth, patience, gentleness, and affection are truly heartwarming. It’s clear that they don’t simply see this as a job—they genuinely adore animals and treat them with the love and respect they deserve. Knowing that Milos and Beau are in such caring, responsible, and capable hands gives me tremendous peace of mind. Tracy and Steven are an absolute delight, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found them! I will definitely continue using them for regular walks and future boarding. They have earned my complete trust, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding, loving, and reliable pet care. Five stars simply aren’t enough for these two amazing people! ❤️
Kyra was amazing! She was able to help out last minute and even came twice in one day to walk and feed our pup who absolutely loved her. She is super sweet, a very proactive communicator and took great care of our fur baby. We would highly recommend her for all your pets needs and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you so much!
Mark answered my request on short notice and really helped me out. He is very friendly and trustworthy. He always showed up exactly on-time and was very careful with my dogs. I needed to ask him to let himself in and feed my dogs in addition to the original request just to walk them and he had no problem doing exactly what I needed his help with. I will definitely be requesting him next time I need dog care. I highly recommend him.
I’m home recovering from surgery and had never used Rover before, so I was really nervous about booking in general. Katie was beyond sweet, patient, and treated Curley so kindly. The first day, she brought her daughter, who was also the sweetest and such a bonus since Curley loves kids! They communicated with me and shared the cutest pictures. I felt really comfortable having them walk Curley and will definitely continue booking with them ☺️
