Dog Sitting Fort Lee

About: I’ve grown up with/cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more. I have professionally cared for both senior dogs and puppies, including basic training. These were dogs of all breeds, sizes and backgrounds. I currently have two rescue cats and would love to care for some doggies in my free time, as I can’t have them in my apartment! I am currently working part time in the city, and have a very free/flexible schedule. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my free time looking after your fur babies! If caring for your pet in your personal home, I will keep their routine as close to normal as possible to ensure they feel comfortable. I know animals can get anxiety with sudden change, so I would ensure they feel safe. I am great at giving constant updates/photos, so you can see how your fur baby is doing! I love cuddles if they are comfortable with this, and play time to keep them stimulated.

“Megan was a great sitter for Nyla. She was very flexible when I added additional visits and requested changes in the visits. I will definitely be scheduling her for future visits.”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life. Most recently, my partner and I expanded our family with two kitties, Gio & Jojo. During grad school, I also worked as a professional dog walker, walking 4-6 dogs on- and off-leash on hikes around local parks, and I generally averaged about 9-12 hikes per week. (I’ll keep yours on leash unless you and I are both comfortable letting your pup off leash in less-trafficed areas). I also dog sat for many of those clients, as well as several clients here. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability to leave the house during the day and evening for walks and drop-ins. I may just have to work around some meetings. My partner Zachary is a grad student with a flexible schedule who also helps out with the pet sitting! I can accommodate to whatever type of living space the pet is in. I will make sure they are given their food and water and medication if needed on schedule, they get out all of their energy during walks and playtime, their bathroom needs are taken care of, and any potential mess is cleaned up. I’ll also make sure your cat or dogs gets all the pets and cuddles they want!

“My first time booking with a sitter for my two cats while taking a week long vacation. Ambroja went above and beyond to accommodate my girls and kept me updated every step of the way. So very thankful for her. Super professional, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Always so kind and reliable. Thank you Imari!”

About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.

About: My senior Staffordshire/Fox Hound mix recently passed away and I miss the camaraderie, fun, and smell of a dog. My husband and I had a pet-sitting business before we got too busy with our careers, Each of us had a dog and cat growing up; I had a bunny and a turtle. Our own dog was certified as a therapy dog who visited local nursing homes. I need more pets in my life. I have a flexible schedule. I’m retired and, in addition to caring for pets, I will be tutoring kids with dyslexia or other learning challenges. I always keep pets in my care leashed (even in areas where unleashed pets are allowed. I don’t take pets to the dog park even though we have a big beautiful one near me. You just never know what could happen. I take leashed dogs on long walks where appropriate and play as much as they like. I care for pets as instructed.

“Selina was wonderful! I appreciated her detailed updates and cute photos and videos. My cat clearly loved her which is always a huge relief. I would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets since I was a little girl. Mostly dogs and cats in my adult years. I haven’t gotten a new dog since I had to say goodbye to my last furry friend. Now I want to have part time pets to love I’m a photographer and a design coordinator who works outside my home a few weeks a year and spends most time home editing photos, or playing with my two grandsons. I have a nice fenced in yard and a beautiful park across the street. I live in a quiet neighborhood with nice streets for walks. There is also a dog park close by.

“Lee is an amazing dog sitter and walker -- over the course of almost 2 years we worked with Lee in NY as our primary sitter/walker. He was incredibly responsive via text, the app or otherwise. With walking he walked my Dane - Ryan 2-5 times a week and would flex to show up when I was often late at the office. Lee also stayed at my home with Ryan often - he was clean, respectful of the space an totally attentive to my pup. My roommate mentioned rarely noticing he had even been there. When Lee wasn't available he had friends on recommendation who were amazing and even went out of his way to hand off his set of keys to them. Lee became such a part of Ryan's life often he was more excited when Lee arrived than when I did! We've since moved to LA and will miss him greatly!”

About: Hello there, pet parents of New York City! 🐾 I'm thrilled to introduce myself as your go-to pet caregiver extraordinaire! With over two decades of experience under my belt, I've had the joy of caring for furry companions of all shapes and sizes. From the tiniest hamster to the gentlest Great Dane, I've formed unbreakable bonds with them all. What sets me apart? Well, aside from my undying love for all things fluffy, I specialize in Senior Pet Care. Over the years, I've had the privilege of tending to the needs of beloved elderly cats and dogs, ensuring they receive the extra attention and care they deserve in their golden years. Whether it's administering medication, providing gentle exercise, or simply offering a comforting cuddle, I'm here to make sure your senior fur babies feel cherished and content. I’m currently working from home as an HR professional with a flexible schedule. With access to several public transportation options, as well as personal transportation, I make time to care for your pet when you can’t be there. I’m available most holidays too! Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether we're out exploring the city streets or cozying up at home. With years of experience in pet care, I've honed my skills in ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for furry companions of all kinds. On Walks: When we're out on walks, rest assured that your furry friend will be securely harnessed and under my watchful eye at all times. I'm well-versed in handling dogs of various sizes and temperaments, and I understand the importance of maintaining control and attentiveness, especially in bustling city environments. In Your Home: Whether I'm dropping by for a quick visit or staying overnight, I take great care to maintain a clean and organized environment for your pet. From fresh water and meals to regular potty breaks and playtime, I'll ensure that your pet's routine is uninterrupted and that their surroundings are kept tidy and hygienic. I'm also experienced in crating dogs, if needed, providing them with a cozy and secure space to rest and relax while you're away. Health & Hygiene: Hygiene is paramount when it comes to caring for pets, and I take this responsibility seriously. I'll diligently clean up any messes, regularly sanitize food and water bowls, and ensure that your pet's living area is kept pristine. Additionally, I'm well-versed in administering medications and following any special dietary or health-related instructions to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy under my care.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for them for over 24 years. In addition to helping friends and family with their pets, I’ve volunteered in animal shelters and gained experience with many different dogs. I treat every dog with patience, care, and respect. I work full-time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for care during weekdays and fully available on weekends. I always make time to give dogs proper attention, walks, and consistency. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each dog’s routine closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and supervise interactions at all times. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment.

About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.

About: Every dog is different, and I love getting to know each dog’s personality and preferences. I’m mostly familiar with cats and big dogs, but I like small dogs too! I’m available to petsit in your home, check in on your pets, or walk your dog. I’ve always had pets, so I understand how they are part of your family and will provide high quality services that keep your pets safe and happy. From taking the time to make sure a timid cat is comfortable around me to safely handling a large dog on a walk around the neighborhood, I will always do what it takes to build a rapport with your pet and make sure they are safe and enjoy the time spent in my care. I’m a full-time master’s student and am looking for pet care jobs that I can fit into my schedule most days of the week, including weekends. I’m happy to provide food and water as instructed by the client and any other specifications as well (litter cleaning, play time, etc) and am attentive to any details about safety the owner mentions.

“Wendy was great with Nash! She followed all my instructions, communicated during the visit, and even sent me a photo! Her visit was very helpful and took the worry out of being gone for the day. I will definitely book Wendy again!”
