About: I'm a life long cat lover who never seems to have enough space for the menagerie of cats that I would love to own. Pet-sitting is the next best thing! I have raised & loved several cats through their entire lives as newborns into their maturity. I am currently a Cat Mom to two males in a May/December relationship (3yr old/9 yr old). They could not be more opposite or more joyful to live with. I am flexible alongside my part-time job. Acting and producing in the world of community theatre keeps me busy, but caring for pets & housesitting keeps me happy and grounded. I will always be fair & honest about my time & availability. As an actor I am gifted in matching energy: is your pet skittish or nervous? Are they older or grumpy & listless? Well, I can be good company either way. I’ve cared for and given medication to senior dogs & cats that need more attention. I’m observant, caring & intuitive to their needs. While caretaking in your home, I will be dependable, respectful & trustworthy. *Please note - specialty senior care is at PUPPY rate.

About: I've watched countless friends' and family members' pets, as well my own, and currently have an 8 year old Goldendoodle named Gatsby who I adventure with every day. I believe in meeting dogs' full physical and mental needs beyond the minimum. I structure my walks to allow for maximum exercise as well as plenty of mental stimulation like sniffing and exploration. I listen to every dog--each one is very different! I'm a recent graduate on break with a ton of time to hang out with your dogs/cats and am based in the Glen Rock area. I am super gentle and affectionate with all dogs/cats (and animals in general). When at a client's house I make sure to respect the dog's environment and follow the owners' procedures

About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsay, a 19-year-old college student originally from New Jersey. Some things about me that I do on my free time is going on runs, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now currently have a tabby cat. I’ve frequently helped care for pets belonging to friends and relatives as well. I will always enjoy spending time with pets whether it be on a walk or just hanging out with them to keep company! I also have been caring for pets through a different app as well providing walks, sittings, drop ins, etc with a 5 star rating! The same love and attention I give to my pet will be the same for yours! I’m currently working part-time at Ben And Jerry’s. Usually Mondays, Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays. However, I work around my schedule as a pet-caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone’s care. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention that I give to my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always be my top priority, and I will make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way!

About: In the past I have recognized the needs of my pet and responded to them. I always recognize when my pet doesn't want to play anymore and give him/her space. I always show pets affection and never uses physical punishment or force. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have strong interpersonal and communication skills. I am very patient with pets. I am obsessed with dogs and love to play with them. I don’t mind walking dogs at all. I love to spend time with dogs. I used to own an English bull mastiff she was very big and sadly passed from age. I don’t mind bathing dogs or being with them all day and night because I find them very relaxing and fun to be around.

About: Having a pet is a privilege and they deserve all of the love and attention we can offer! I’ve had many varieties of pets throughout my life such as birds, cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles. I’m big on hiking and parks, so if we’re a good match, I’d love the opportunity to take your furry friend out to explore! I find it very easy following a schedule if needed, as I understand how important it is for your pet to continue good and healthy habits. I intend on giving your beloved pet everything they need while we hang out, enjoying the day! I’m currently a full-time student, on my last semester before graduating! It’s important for me to prioritize spending time with the fur family (mine & yours). I enjoy being proactive with animals by taking them to parks, on hiking trails or to the water! Trust is key! I encourage you to share your daily routine with me and/or any special instructions so I can give your pets the same care you give them! Following directions will never be an issue; it’s important to me that you feel comfortable in trusting that your little ones are in great hands!

Jack was anwesome! He came right on time and thoroughly did everything we told him to do. He exceeded all expectations with his care for our dog, Colby. Not only did he ensure Colby’s physical exercise needs were met, but he also went above and beyond by capturing numerous funny photos of Colby during their walk, when he was fed, and when he was playing with him. We're very grateful for Jack's dedication and the joy he brought to both our dog and us. 5 stars!

Sam did a great job with our two cats. One was rather timid and he worked with her over the booking to get her from only eating on the stairs, to eating in the kitchen where she normally eats. We appreciated his patience with the cats and his willingness to play with them every day as they are very curious and energetic!

About: I've walked my friends' rescue dog and helped take care of her. In addition, I have helped out friends and family members with their dogs. Also, I took care of a puppy for seven months. I am patient, gentle, energetic, and genuinely enjoy playing with the dogs. My values include always cleaning up after the dog. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. Dog walking is something I am excited to do consistently. My current focus is on dog walking, rather than caring for pets in my own home. In a client's home, I would care for pets by following each owner's instructions carefully and respecting their home and routine. I would make sure the dog is safely leashed before we head out on a walk. During a walk, I would keep them secure and comfortable, clean up after them, and make sure they are safely back inside afterward.

I trained my old dog completely on my own, my dad used to be a dog trainer so I picked up many of his tricks! I am also a college student eager to work. I went to Bergen Tech for high school and my first year I was apart of the small animal care class room! I am more than happy to bait your dog also. Animals are so pure and joyful, being around any type of animal makes me so happy! Can not wait to start taking care of your beautiful dogs! Thanks so much!

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!
