Dog Sitting Elmwood Park

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I have about 8 years of experience caring for them. Growing up with my own dogs has taught me how to understand their personalities, routines, and the importance of providing them with patience, love, and attention. Over the years, I have also helped care for my family’s dogs when they needed someone they could trust while they were away. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, baths, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog is different and has their own needs, whether they love being active, playing, or simply relaxing with someone they trust. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every dog with the same care, kindness, and affection I would give my own ! I currently work a part-time job, but I am still able to provide reliable and loving care for your pets. I am happy to work around my schedule to make sure your furry friend receives the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I will always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my priority, and I want to make sure they feel happy and cared for ! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether caring for them in my home or visiting clients’ homes, I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for!

“Marin was awesome. She communicated well and took great care of our dog.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

“Thank you Ruby for doing such a great job caring for Dyango! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. To be able to leave our dog is such good care, really put my mind at ease. Thanks!”I highly recommend her”

“Justice is great! She is reliable, friendly, and sent thorough updates and pictures while checking in on Cooper. Everything went super smoothly and we'd be happy to work with her again!”

About: I've had a dog in my life ever since I was 5, and I've taken care of my friends pets for even longer! I've also walked four dogs at once, and I'm very proud of that. I have a golden retriever I see three times a week. I'm in-between school and work, I have a lot of free time to take care of animals. I like to be where the animals are, whether there's a backyard, we're on a long walk, or we're cuddling on a couch watching a movie. I do work at home, which results in a lot of close contact.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I helped care for my brother's dog by taking him on walks, feeding him, bathing him, taking him to the park to play fetch, and making sure he was always happy and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'm patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits well into my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, or companionship, I'll make sure they receive the care they need. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I'll do my best to follow their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced yard for safe play and a deck where pets can relax in the sunshine. I'll follow your pet's routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz

“Natalie took great care of my two kittens! She was incredibly responsive, responsible, and communicative, and she shared key updates and lots of photos! She was great!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially willing to put in the extra time and care senior pets may need, whether that’s moving at a slower pace, providing extra comfort, or paying close attention to their routines. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a student, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am completely free every weekday after 1:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, and evening playtimes. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, my classes finish even earlier, so I am available starting at 11:00 AM. My weekends are 100% open for boarding or house sitting. Because I'm home studying often, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and potty breaks they need. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping them comfortable and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they’re used to. I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and secure, always double-checking doors and gates. I make it a point to give each pet plenty of love, attention, and interaction so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. I also communicate frequently and can send daily photo updates, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Ellen take care of my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats. She followed all of my care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure my cat was comfortable and well-loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear my cat was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. I came home to a clean space and a content kitty. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter, I highly recommend Ellen!”

“Helped out very last minute for long term care of 2 cats. Great communication, reliable, and helpful. Great experience and would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m Sasha — a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked in doggy daycares as a handler, bather, and walker, and I’m Pet CPR & First Aid Certified so your pup’s safety and comfort always come first. I work from home as a designer, which means your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also have a fenced yard and a cozy, dog-friendly home filled with beds, toys, and space to relax. I have a small dog named Nacho who is my sidekick and keeps me on a consistent routine with regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and play sessions throughout the day. Dogs staying with me are treated like family — they’ll have access to water, comfy spaces to rest, toys, and lots of love. I’m happy to accommodate cuddle bugs too — if your pup enjoys sleeping near people, they’ll fit right in here. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I have 1 small dog that is by my side 24/7 during the week. Caring for your pet will fit into my routine nicely. I work as a designer and always home during the week. I usually let my boy Nacho out to play in the morning at 7am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, and 4pm, 6pm and 9:15pm. I usually keep the dogs with me in my area while I work. They have access water, food, beds and toys. I have a bunch of doggy beds and toys 🧸 all around the house. I also don’t mind the dogs sleeping in bed with me. I love to snuggle with the fur babies.

About: I have 2 cats, senior and adult, and 1 puppy who I raised since birth in 2025. They always come first before me and I make sure they are happy! My puppy loves when we go for walks and we always cuddle whenever we have time together! I work in the gigging industry of audio and lighting, so my schedule is open and flexible! I work friday nights for shabbat services and Sunday mornings for worship service but they last about 4 hours and I am home in time to care for all my children! Free access for water, I have toys for dogs and cats, cat trees and vertical shelter for my cats to enrich their behavioral habits! I walk my dog 3 times a day! Litter boxes are always clean and fresh for the next bathroom break!

“Abby was amazing with our dog, Stella! While we were away, she kept us updated with sweet messages and adorable photos that showed how happy and comfortable Stella was. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was being so well cared for. Abby went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jesse is utterly fantastic! He was incredibly patient and gentle with our dog. His experience and knowledge in caring for dogs is strongly apparent, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing sitter.”

“Joshua was excellent to work with! He sent picture updates every day and even brought his own laser pointer to play with the cats. We were so glad to leave Skamp and Oats in such good care. He also came and did a pre-visit with us to meet the kittens first. I am a bit of a helicopter first time cat mom and Joshua far exceeded my expectations and followed our somewhat over the top instructions with ease! Re: new automated litter box. :)”

About: Hi, I'm Aphra and I am 25. I have open availability for petsitting, and have extensive experience sitting for cats and small-to-medium dogs. I am new to Rover but promise to go above and beyond and give both you and your pets a great experience. I am a freelance artist with a flexible schedule and open availability. I can be there to check in on your pets at any time/date you need. I will play and spend time with your pets, walk dogs, refill food and water, clean out litter boxes, and clean up pet messes in general.

“Abby has been doing weekly visits for our dog, Trixie for about a month now. Trixie is a rescue who has a lot of anxiety and has had some issues with dog walkers in the past (she would hide and refuse to go outside). However, she loves Abby! Abby took the time to slowly get to know Trixie and didn't push her when she was nervous. She was just what Trixie needed. Abby sends us detailed updates and photos each visit which is greatly appreciated. We are so glad we found Abby and highly recommend her!”
