Dog Sitting East Rutherford

About: Offering dog walking and sitting services! Availability on weekdays M-F day through night (around 10-8 PM). I’ve taken care of my family dogs since I was around 10 years old. I am well versed in the daily needs of caring for and attending to dogs. I am happy to take your dog on a nice walk or just hang out and give some pets and play time. I have been taking care of cats for around 5 years due to taking care of family’s cats and then adopting my own about 3 years ago. I am also well-versed in cat care and daily needs. I will be happy to adjust to your cat’s schedule and personality. I am currently awaiting onboarding for a part time job and have most hours during the weekdays available to come check on or walk your pet. I will make sure to follow directions in terms of safety and care for your pets. That is my upmost concern and I will make sure they are loved like my own.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my spoiled 10 yr. old Chiweenie! I also volunteer with a dog rescue, helping transport dogs from Puerto Rico to their new homes in New Jersey. I’m new to professional dog walking, but caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy. I’m excited to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Your dog will be treated like one of my own! 🐶❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’ll work with you to find a time that works best for you and your pup! I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits for small dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m new to Rover! I’m responsible, attentive and love spending time with animals. I’m very active and enjoy going on walks, so I’d love having a furry companion along with me! I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with patience, attention and lots of love. I’m also organized and dependable, so you can count on me to follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated while they’re with me. I work a 9AM-5PM weekday schedule, so I’m most available in the early mornings, evenings and on weekends. I’d especially love to build a few regular walking or pet-sitting routines nearby. My weekends are generally more flexible for longer walks, drop-ins and pet care. I’m very attentive and take pet owners’ instructions seriously. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking and care routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“Nicole was super responsive and gave us detailed updates on our cats feeding and litter box habits! Would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out in the future.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, learning to love each breed uniquely. Our pets truly become part of the family and we must treat them as such! When someone trusts me to take care of their pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I always strive to provide the best care possible to your furbabies. I currently specialize in house-sitting, please let me know if this service is right for you and your pet! I have experience in potty training, crate training and teaching tricks! I am available for daily walks, days and nights. I am available for boarding Monday - Sunday. I am also available on holidays, please just let me know in advance. My dog, Arlo, is a super friendly Mini Aussie who will also keep your pup company. A fenced dog park is available nearby for them to play and run. I will follow feeding, potty, and medication instructions accordingly.

About: As someone who has had many fur babies, I understand how hard it can be to leave them! My goal is to make that experience less stressful and ensure that you are stress free while away. I have had extensive experience caring for animals ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, fish, guinea pigs, mice, rats and hamsters. I currently have a cat and guinea pigs but have had all of the prior listed animals at one point or another. I am comfortable doing care for special needs animals and don’t mind the extra time that they need. I am available on short notice and during some odd hours due to grad school. I am a current grad student so I have flexible timing as well as last minute availability. I am available most weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. Given my experience with many pets, I know how to safely handle many species as well as care for cats and dogs. I am also trained in animal cpr and am comfortable dealing with any special needs an animal has as well as any emergencies that may arise.

“Michelle has been fantastic. My dog is a rescue and often takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Michelle was so patient with him and continues to provide the highest level of care for him. Michelle is very responsive and always communicates before and after the visit. I’d highly recommend Michelle to help care for your pets!”

About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend.

“Kinjal was great with my dog … she was on time and made sure he was all good on his walk and treats before she left . Would highly recommend”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five years old, and they’ve always been family to me. Over the years, I’ve raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. As I got older, I naturally became the one fully responsible for their day-to-day care, including walks, feeding, playtime, vet visits, and giving extra love and patience as they aged. My dogs lived long, happy lives, and I truly believe that’s because of the attention and love they received. Caring for animals is what I would like to do full-time, and I’m here to support your pet’s routine with consistency and love. I have open availability throughout the week, including some weekends —whether it’s daily walks, house sitting, or drop-in visits. Your pet will have my full attention, patience, and care whenever you need it. I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where each animal feels secure and seen. I have a bunny and three birds of my own, so I’m very mindful of maintaining a peaceful, clean space that respects each animal’s needs and energy. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, and I know how to read their cues—whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or patient attention.

About: Hi, I’ve had many dogs my whole entire life even puppies from Yorkshire terrier, miniature Doberman pinscher and Chihuahua. I was also a nanny/caretaker during college so have plenty of caregiving experience with transporting children. I have a small 10 pound Chihuahua. She gets along with any type of breed of dog as long as your dog does not bite. She is super friendly and loves to be around all the pets. I work in finance from home and have all day to pay attention / watch carefully and play with your dog while working and also relaxing. Since my small 10 pound Chihuahua is fairly small I prefer dogs less than 40 pounds if coming to my home. Some exceptions for a little bit over 40 lb. My dog does not bite or bark and loves to play all day with other dogs . If I come to your home I can do any dog greater than 100lb. I have a well-kept apartment with a nice balcony and a dog park located on site in my building complex with a beautiful walkable path and grass area to play.

“Dan was awesome! He really helped us out on short notice and over a holiday weekend! Great communication and pictures of the kitties. 10/10 would use Dan’s services again!”

“Baris continually is one of the best cat sitters I could ask for. He is always super helpful and caring and provides so much extra comfort while I’m away. It helps that my cat also loves him, one of the best for sure, could not recommend him enough”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working hands-on in the pet industry. My career began in the PetSmart Pet Hotel, and since then I’ve managed multiple boarding facilities, worked as an animal control officer, mentored as a dog trainer, and now specialize in pet nutrition. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable with all personalities—especially pups who struggle in busy kennel environments. Over the years, I’ve opened my home to dogs with anxiety, behavioral quirks, medical needs, or those who just need a calmer, more personalized environment. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to small animals and exotics, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. If you're looking for a sitter who is experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’m here to help! I currently have the option to work from or bring your furry baby to my pet friendly safe office space. I am a pet nutritionist! I care for pets by treating them as they are one of my own! I will work with you to understand what your individual pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while they stay with me.

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.

“Ronald was great! I had a 3 day trip out of town and came back to a happy and healthy pup. Was my 2nd time having Ronald and his wife watch Hilton and they were very good at making sure he was taken care of.”
