House Sitting in Cedar Knolls

About: Over my life I have had 5 cats, 5 dogs ranging from small yorkies to pitbulls and a golden doodle. I would usually take responsibility for these animals like taking them outside on walks, feeding them, buying the toys they love to play with. Overall I can’t remember a time in my life where a pet was present around me in my home. Pet care fits very easily in my schedule because all I have is school, I am a highschool student. After school I don’t have much to do so pet care fits easily in my schedule. I have a fenced in backyard that I used for all my dogs and if they got tired of just roaming the same backyard I’d take them on walks when they wanted it. I put them to sleep in their crates and feed them when it is time. My cats are pretty free and only bother me if they want to use the backyard or want food, but I like to keep them entertained so I play with them using the toys I’ve bought.

“Elizabeth is the absolute best. She took such good care of my two dogs. I appreciated all the updates throughout her time with them. We will definitely have her take care of the pups again!”

About: Looking for someone to spoil your fur baby? I've owned multiple pets over my life and supported others in their pet relationships through sitting, boarding, training support, and BIG LOVE! We all need a kind word, gentle touch, and stability in our lives. I'm here to help you foster that environment and keep your pets cared for in the way family only can. Drop them off, have me over, or let’s go play! I can't wait to meet your loved one. I work from home five days a week and have plenty of time to play. Solo life affords me the ability to also take unplanned adventures. I have a one bedroom apartment, no other pets or humans. The community has an unfenced large front courtyard where your pup can get lots of attention from my neighbors if they like! I've fostered here and everyone is super supportive and animal friendly. I also have kennels, playpens, carpen, seatbelts and everything needed to keep your pet safe.

“We could not be more grateful for Raechel’s flexibility and communication the last week as we navigated finding pet care for a last-minute funeral. We returned home to a spotless house and happy, well cared for pets - with the TV turned on to one of their favorite programs, a detail that made us so happy. We will absolutely be booking with Raechel again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from different sizes and breeds since I was 17. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs, and as a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with a sitter. I’m attentive, empathetic, and detail-oriented, making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable whether it’s energetic walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their routine. I work full-time but am available after work for walks, drop-ins, play time, or feeding, with flexible care to fit your pet’s needs Friday through Sunday. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! I treat every pet like family, providing safe, loving care in the comfort of your home. I’m hyper vigilant of my surroundings, making sure all doors and potential escape routes are secured, while following your instructions closely to keep your furry friend happy, calm, and secure.

“Kayla was great with my baby Cassie. She came over to meet her and I knew instantly she was the perfect person to watch my dog. She sent me pictures daily which eased my mind. I don’t like leaving her but after my experience with Kayla, I feel comfortable going on vacation knowing cassie will be taken care of.”

“Antonia was the absolute best!! We were so happy with her watching our fur babies! She was so informative and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We had never left our dogs with everyone and this being our first time was an absolute dream. She left our house neat, clean and was so conscientious!! Can't thank her enough!!!”

“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”

About: I grew up with dogs that were part of my family, which nurtured my love for animals. As I grew older, I took care of my friends' and family's pets, gaining valuable experience. I believe that pets are wonderful companions, and I am committed to caring for them with the attention they deserve. I understand the unique needs and affection that our furry friends require. I’m available to start pet care on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm , and I can accommodate daily care as needed. I lovingly ensure they are fed on schedule, provide plenty of playtime and exercise to keep their spirits high, maintain a clean and comfortable environment through grooming and litter box care, watch over their health with a gentle eye, and offer companionship to make them feel cherished and secure.

“Leah is personable, friendly, reliable responsible, but most importantly, very knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs. I felt totally confident and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He played, walked, cuddled which are his favorite things! I will always request Leah first for future doggy needs.”

“Jessica was professional and instantly took to George!”

“Erinn did a wonderful job with our animals. We got regular updates. The house and animals were in the condition we had left them when we returned home. Everyone seemed happy. I would definitely hire her again.”

Kathy S.

“Michael was so great with my anxious dog and elderly cat. I could tell the first time we met how calm she was around him. Wonderful communication throughout the week while we were gone with texts and pics as requested. Came home to everything in place and two happy, clearly well cared for pets. He was also super considerate about our home- brought in packages, rubbish bins, and even ran a load of laundry and dishes. Very thoughtful. Highly recommend using this great pet sitter, and we plan to do so in the future ourselves.”

Lauren G.

“Bryan was fabulous. He stayed at our house and watched 2 old cats and a dog that needs daily medication. He communicated very well before the stay so he knew what to do and touched base repeatedly while we were gone with pictures and updates of our animals. We came back to a well cared for house and very happy animals. I will absolutely be booking him again and encourage others to do so as well!”

Cat E.

“Jeanne Marie dos a great job caring for our precious furbabies. Highly recommended.”

Gary S.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from Brittiany. She was kind, reliable, and resposible. She sent frequent updates and asked questions, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The house was left spotless, and our dog seemed relaxed, happy, and extremely well-cared-for when we returned. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust with both our home and Maia. We will absolutely be booking again!”

Meggan D.

“Natalie dog sat and house sat for us for 10 days over the holiday and was absolutely amazing! She gave us updates on the dogs and sent pictures (which my kids loved), took them for daily walks and left our house in perfect condition. We have 2 big doodle mixes (60 pounds and 75 pounds). and they can be pretty needy at times. She did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone and definitely use her again.”

Kelly T.

“We HIGHLY recommend Jessica! She is so sweet and genuine, and was fantastic with communication before, during, and after our trip. She went above and beyond with our fur babies! We have a highly energetic dog and she contacted us to make sure she was doing everything possible for him. She took him on tons of walks and communicated with us about getting some new toys to calm him : ) She even went to the pet store when Amazon wasn't delivering in time. She played and cuddled with our cat as well. She left our house immaculate. We were more than happy with her care of our pets and our home - again, highly we highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to have her house sit again!! <3 <3”

About: I have a dog of my own that I got in late 2020. He was a rescue so he started out very shy and distrustful, now Frosty is bursting with energy and has fully come out of his shell. I have also pet sat for my grandmother’s dog and friend’s dogs in recent years. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) My current full time job is front desk at the Madison Hotel. I would need to give two weeks notice to get time off for long periods of pet care. I can fit shorter visits into my existing schedule most days, I work a variety of shifts, but most frequently 7am-3pm, so my afternoons and evenings are usually very open. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.

About: I have had 2 small dogs for about 14 years now that I have loved and cared for since they were puppies. I volunteered at a local animal shelter in the cattery and kitten nursery where I cleaned cages, fed, and comforted the cats and kittens. I have also fostered 3 kittens until they found their forever homes. I have been taking care of many friends and families pets over the past few years and would love to help others as well now! I have a very flexible full time work from home career that I can do from anywhere so I can stay home with your pets and care for them throughout the day. I am open to doing whatever is needed or requested. I can be accommodating to make sure clients are happy and pets are well cared for.
