Dog Sitting in Cranford

About: Hi there! My name is Jalene, and I’m a dedicated pet sitter based in Cranford, New Jersey. If you’re looking for someone caring, dependable, and experienced to look after your cats or dogs, I’d love to help. I have 2 years of professional experience in animal care, along with a lifetime of hands-on experience as a pet owner myself. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Throughout my experience working in animal care facilities, my responsibilities included feeding, walking, grooming, assisting with medication administration, monitoring behavior, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments — from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior dogs over 15 years old. I’m also comfortable accommodating special diets, unique routines, and detailed care instructions to make sure each pet feels as comfortable and cared for as possible. At times, I handled and cared for over 80 dogs within the facility, which taught me how to stay attentive, organized, and calm in fast-paced environments. Additional responsibilities included maintaining a clean and sanitary space through daily laundry, dishes, and overall facility upkeep. In emergency situations, I’ve been trained to respond appropriately and prioritize the safety of every animal in my care. In May 2022, I received my Pet CPR & First Aid Certification through Paws N Claws 911. My training included identifying signs of illness or distress, cleaning minor wounds, and responding effectively during urgent situations. Whether you need dog walking, overnight care, drop-in visits, or simply someone to give your pets extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I also have four pets of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your animals like family. At home, I have a Goldendoodle named Biscuit and three very unique cats named Geo, Snow, and Big-Cat! My availability can be flexible but my typical days are between Monday-Thursday at any time of the day. Friday's I am able to work before 5 pm, Saturday's I have full availability, and Sunday's I am available after 2 pm. All in all, your pets will be in safe and loving hands with me, and I make it my priority to ensure their comfort and happiness while you're away. I would also be more than willing to accommodate any regular scheduling routines or special instructions that you provide. It is my goal to bond with your baby (or multiple fur babies) in order to create a trusting relationship between me and them! Of course, I also want to ensure that you feel comfortable and at peace leaving them in my care so I will undoubtedly communicate effectively at all times!

“Definitely Daniela is the type of person who loves, cares, enjoy and have a good chemistry with animals, specially with cats. the way Daniela expresses herself about pets and treat them like they were her own pets… that shows her experience with animals and her lovely personality. she did a good job spending time with my cats, feeding and playing with them. One of my cats is female and she is super shy and she takes her time when getting to know new people, but as soon as she smelled and got close to Daniela , my cat became friendly with her and in that moment I knew Daniela was the perfect person to take care of my cats whenever I’m not home. Daniela provided an excellent service and now she is someone who I can totally trust. 10/10.”

About: Hi my name is Coral! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds!! My first dog was a Yorkie named Lilly and I adopted a Doberman named Amber. I’m currently a proud grandma to my son’s Long Haired Dachshund Ralphie. I’m available for dog walks and overnight stays in the owners home. I work in Livingston and would be able to stay in your home and walk your pup before work, on my lunch break and after work. I can be available for dog walks after 6 pm in Livingston.

“Alexandra has been wonderful with my dogs! She takes the time to make sure they are happy, gets plenty of exercise, fed on time, and was also kind enough to come meet the dogs before hand! She’s always on time, super reliable, and communicates really well with updates and photos after every walk/visit. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs were in caring and trustworthy hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker who treats your dog like their own.”

“Paula was responsive and responsible during the booking and meeting process. I have a 12 week old poodle. He has lots of unbridled puppy energy. he is really just learning how to walk on a leash.. Paula was very patient getting the leash and harness on him as well as walking him. I do appreciate that. I would recommend Paula and I would use her for future walks once my dog matures thank you.👍🏽🙌🏽🙏”

I have the most experience with cat sitting - both indoor and outdoor - but have taken care of dogs many times as well as had a dog of my own for four years! I am adaptable to any needs your pet might have, as I was used to allergies, injury care, and high excitability with my own family dog. I have loved animals all my life and would love to provide any care possible, for any type of pet! I am a college student on break who currently does not have a job, so my days are very available for pet care! I have reliable transportation and will be able to do multiple visits per day.

I always make time to stay with your pet for some extra time past just being fed or walked, so that they get all the attention they need.

About: For the past 12 years, caring for dogs has been a daily part of my life. I have two of my own who I walk multiple times a day, rain or shine. Their happiness and safety mean everything to me, and that same level of caution and attentiveness is what I bring to every dog I care for. I’m the kind of person who always errs on the side of safety: secure leashes, controlled environments, and constant awareness of surroundings. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I also work part-time at a dog daycare and boarding facility. This means I handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities almost every day. I’m trained to read dog behavior, manage group play safely, and make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s a shy pup who needs gentle reassurance or an energetic dog who loves adventure, I know how to tailor my approach to their needs. Dogs truly bring so much joy to my life, and I treat every dog I meet with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. When your pet is with me, whether for a walk or a drop-in, you can feel confident knowing they’re in safe, experienced, and loving hands. I currently am working part time in the morning so I have availability most days in the afternoons or evenings for walks and drop ins. I can be flexible. When doing drop ins and walks it’s important to me to take your lead on what your pet is used to in order to create a relaxed and stress free experience for them.
