Dog Sitting Cliffside Park

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep love for animals combined with a calm, reliable, and intuitive approach to care. I specialize in both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, understanding the unique needs of each stage. Whether it’s crate training, potty schedules, or administering medications, I provide attentive, tailored support. I treat every dog like family—always ensuring they feel safe, loved, and understood. With a background in wellness and a natural sense of routine, I’m great at maintaining structure while giving plenty of affection and play. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or relaxed evening check-ins. I work remotely and have a flexible lifestyle, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. Your pup’s well-being becomes my top priority, and I love creating a rhythm that keeps them happy, healthy, and at ease. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top prioritie- whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine. I always take time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, so I can create a stress-free, familiar environment. In your home, I maintain your pet’s usual schedule and surroundings to help them feel secure. In my home, pets are treated like family with a clean, calm space that’s both cozy and supervised. I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I have walked all kinds of dogs since I was 15. I started with Pitbulls in my neighborhood and walked all sizes since then. I went on to adopt a dog 10 years ago and now live with my fiancé who brought her own dog into our home. I will always be a dog father for the rest of my life and truly value what they mean to someone as a pet/partner and in some cases -child. I already walk my dog 3 times a day so pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Currently dog walking is my only profession as I look for work so I am completely open to accommodate any scheduling requests. Having walked many different types of dogs throughout my life, I know that each dog has different personalities and needs that must be accommodated for. Each pet has its own routine that helps make sure they are happy and healthy. One of my dogs is very good at communicating when he needs to go outside, and I can read his cues and take him out for multiple walks in quick succession. Another one of my dogs is much more of a habit former and appreciates a longer walk that tires him out and gets all his energy out of his system. I constantly check on them both emotionally and physically to make sure there are no problems with their habits or their physical bodies. I always like to make sure the dogs I take care of get to spend quality time with me either at my home or at the client's home to help relax them after or before a long walk. I never leave the house without checking they have food and water readily available, and a treat to make sure they're feeling loved and cared for.

About: Hi there! I’ve always loved animals and am lucky enough to have a cat of my own, Kitty, who has been with me for 6 years! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, but rest assured, I will love them as if they are my own! Your pet will be in good hands with me and I’m excited for the chance to meet them! Pet care is a priority in my schedule! I am home most of the week and during the day so I’m very flexible on time. I love to stay active so also willing to do frequent walks or play outside with your pet. I have one cat in my home and am very careful with ensuring her safety and health - she is well-maintained and clean (e.g., brushing, cleaning teeth, trimming nails) and spayed. Just let me know if your pet has any specific needs, allergies, or anything in particular to be aware of! I’m someone who loves to take photos of my cat so if you want frequent updates on your pet, I’m happy to do that too!

About: I’ve been dog walking for about 3 years and have had the opportunity to care for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, so I always try to approach them calmly and patiently and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. On my days off, I enjoy spending my free time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m usually available from the morning through the afternoon, anytime before 4 PM. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they get a comfortable and enjoyable walk. 🐶 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs. During walks, I stay attentive to their surroundings and make sure they are safe and comfortable at all times.

I am good with keeping everything as clean as possible, vacuum everyday. I also have experience taking care of small dogs. I took care of my step daughter's two Yorkshire Terrier dogs when she was travelling, One of them is more than 10 years old. I fed the dogs and clean the dog's face, comb their hair, play with them. It was fun time. They like me more than my husband, haha. I’m free after work, I work at Wall street Manhattan, living near Fort Lee NJ. I will be available after work Monday to Friday, weekends will be more flexible. I bought everything automatic for my cat. The automatic litter box, I clean it every day. Water fountain has filter, I wash and change the water every 3 to 4 days with boiled water (cooling down) due to my cat only has one kidney. Cat food, I feed him with wet can food twice a day and with dry food automatic feeding. I mix different cat food due to his sensitive stomach.

I offer housesitting in the clients home. I would be respectful and responsible, treating the space how I would want someone to treat my home.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I actually begged my parents to let me get a dog, promising them that I would be responsible and take great care of him—and I’ve kept that promise ever since! Taking care of my own dog has taught me how much patience, attention, and love pets need every day. I’ve taught my dog eight different tricks, and I love spending time training, playing, and going on walks with him. Whenever I’m at my grandma’s, I always make sure to walk and spend time with her dog too. More recently, I’ve started dog-sitting for friends, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a freelance dancer, so I have a flexible schedule and make my own hours. This allows me to make time in my day to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they are always in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special routines or rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from anything unsafe, and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. I want every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owner is away. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Kelly took such good care of my pup while I was out of town! Would not hesitate to book her again! Thanks!”

About: My pet care experience began in 2022 when I helped care for and raise my grandmother’s domestic shorthair cat, whom I still treat like my own. Before 2022, I grew up caring for family dogs, gaining experience with handling, grooming, and caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Since 2023, I have volunteered at the ASPCA, where I’ve learned from animal care professionals about providing animals with patience, compassion, attention, and consistent routines. I now try to bring these experiences to pet sitting, intending to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and like family while in my care. Hi, and welcome! I’m Ariana, and I’m a part-time dog handler at a doggy daycare, but decided to start pet sitting in 2024 to expand my skills and experiences to help more fur babies thrive! I’m available Monday–Friday with weekends off, giving me a flexible schedule for pet care. My job is also aware that I do pet sitting, so I can always let them know if I need to make any arrangements with my shifts to match your pet’s routine. If anything, feel free to review my calendar for more details on my availability. ¡También hablo algo de español! I live in a small apartment, but I will ensure it’s spacious, clean, and pet-friendly, ready for your pet’s arrival so they can be comfortable, with enough space to play, run, and sleep anywhere they like. I also live with family, including my two younger siblings, aka my two little active helpers, who make sure to be gentle, patient, attentive, and willing to always give me a hand with your pet so they’re never alone or bored.

“Damaris responded immediately to my initial message. I got the feeling that she was paying attention to what I was saying/ asking, which helped reduce my stress over having to trust a new sitter with my pet. She followed instructions and my cat was well cared for.”
