Dog Sitting in Fort Lee

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. To me, dogs are never “just pets”, they’re family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave a family member in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I also have two years of professional dog walking experience, which has helped me become confident with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very affectionate, dependable, and attentive, and I always take the time to understand what each dog needs to feel happy and secure. Whether that means going on long energetic walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them comfort and companionship, I’ll always care for them with kindness, patience, and love. I truly enjoy building a bond with every dog, and I treat them the same way I would want someone to treat my own. 🫶 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I have open availability and can adjust my schedule as needed. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, so I’m able to take on walks, drop-ins, or sitting whenever I’m needed. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all instructions carefully: feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, whether that means playtime, long walks, or just being there with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m very clean and respectful of the home as well, so I always leave things the way I found them. Most importantly, I pay close attention to how each pet is feeling and adjust my care based on their personality, whether they need a lot of energy and stimulation or a calm, gentle presence.

“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!”

“Emma has been an absolute lifesaver and is the perfect sitter for our new puppy, Hubble. Emma went out of her way to make herself available in the middle of the day during our first week back at work and it has made all the difference. She is communicative, punctual, and extremely kind. I have nothing but nice things to say about Emma. I know Hubble absolutely loves his new friend!”

“Our young dog has separation anxiety, she screams and jumps at the door the entire time when we leave her alone. I'm so thankful we found Amanda so that we could have an evening out without worrying about what was happening at home. We loved getting updates and photos throughout the evening. The experience exceeded our expectations and we will use her again in the future.”

“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.”

“My cats were so well take care of! I felt very comfortable and at ease during my vacation. I loved all the pics and videos of them while I was away.”

“Amy is the most thorough, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter I could imagine! I've never used Rover before and have a 7 month old kitten- Amy was incredible this last week for us, even through new years eve and new years day. She was so considerate and came before booking twice to meet peanut, once when we first booked and again a few weeks later before we left for our trip. She took pictures every day and sent it to us, which made my day. In the pictures I can tell my cat loves her and she came out when shes usually afraid of people. I'm so glad we found Amy and I cannot recommend her enough. ❤”

Abbot blvd is where we go for most of our long walks and play dates. Fort lee dog park is only a 15 min walk from the house so we spend a-lot of our time outside. He’s been on a raw diet for 4 months now but slowly winging him back into kibbles until he’s 2 years old.

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.

“Marin was exceptional! It was my husband and my first time away from our baby girls, and Marin made us feel very comfortable and safe with her the whole time. She followed our small nuances and made sure our babies were happy and very well cared for in our absence. We can’t thank her enough!”

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Thursday anytime after 12:00 PM, all day Friday. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.

“Larry took care of our cat while we are away for a vacation and we’re extremely happy with his care and visits! He isincredibly professional, kept all of his words and very communicative. Our cat enjoyed his time together with Larry. We will definitely rebook his service in the future.”

“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”

About: Hi, I’m Ksenia! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a big Newfoundland dog along with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, our home is still full of animals. We have a cockapoo, a bunny, and two guinea pigs, so caring for pets is truly part of my everyday routine. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, calm, and happy. I take this responsibility seriously and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekday routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the week, whether your pet needs a potty break, feeding, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away. I enjoy calm, relaxed care and focus on being reliable, present, and consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully and make sure dogs are walked calmly and securely. I’m attentive, respectful of your home and routine, and always keep pets supervised. I communicate clearly and want pet parents to feel fully comfortable and confident while their pet is in my care.

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