Dog Sitting in Franklin Lakes

About: I am an experienced dog owner of over 20 years (cats over 10 years). No issue with breed size as I have owned dogs ranging from Bichon size to Rottweilers! Your pets will feel loved and comfortable here in our home. I work from home full time so will have more than enough time to give your pet all of the attention they crave! Walks, play, and feeding times can all be scheduled to your pet's needs. My yard is fully fenced and large enough for fun playtime. My home is large and has wide space for indoor play. Your pet will have my full attention all day as I work from home!

“Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.”

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and trained dog care professional based in Ramsey, NJ 🐾 I am willing to help all over North Jersey! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my 14-year-old Wheaten Terrier, Dexter, who I’ve had for his entire life! :) I’ve also worked in a professional dog daycare and provided dog walking and pet sitting for multiple families, and I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! Whether it’s playtime, a walk, helping with meds, or just keeping your pet company, I bring calm, reliable, loving energy to every visit. I’m trained in safe animal handling and committed to keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also make sure keep pet parents updated with lots of photos and messages for peace of mind. 😊 Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!! I’m a college student home for the summer!

About: Hi! My name is Logan, and I’m a current college student at the University of New England with a strong background in studying animal behavior. I have several years of experience pet sitting, caring for my own pets — my dog Riley and cat Nadia — and working with local animal shelters. I love animals of all sizes and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. They’re family, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide loving, dependable care and to treat your pets with the same attention and compassion I give my own. I'm currently looking for a part-time job until Rover takes off, so as of now, pet care is my 100% focus. I spend every day caring for my cat Nadia and my family's dog Riley. I'm hoping that I will get to spend a good amount of my time also caring for other peoples pets :). When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also following any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special care requests closely. I always prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised, securing doors and gates, and maintaining a clean, calm environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family while they’re away.

“Corinne is the best! Rocket is my little love muffin and it’s so nice knowing he’s getting taken care of when I have to work nights. She’s great!”

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

“Pam took excellent care of our 14 year old maltipoo while we were away! Would highly recommend her.”

“Kimberly was a life saver. She quickly filled in when my original sitter fell through during my 3-week work trip. She sent photos and was extremely communicative. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my cat while I was traveling. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember, so caring for them is second nature to me. I also spent a few months living with my boyfriend and his cat, which gave me hands-on experience with cat routines and their unique personalities. Whether it’s a dog who loves walks or a cat who prefers quiet company, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part time (around 30 hours a week) but I have a lot of flexibility. I can usually shift my schedule around to make sure your pet(s) get the care they need! Keeping your pet safe and happy is my top priority! Whether it’s a walk, stopping in, or a longer stay, I will be sure to follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and stick to your pets’ usual routine. I promise to treat your home with care and make sure everything is clean and comfortable, so your pet(s) can relax, play, and enjoy their day while you’re away!

“Samantha was so great with my cat, Oliver. He needs medication twice a day and she handled that with no issue. She also was very communicative with updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I've always had pets in my life! I've cared for a wide variety, from giant dogs to tiny ones, as well as special-needs cats and so much more. Each experience has enriched my life in unique ways! Full time college commuter, but very flexible schedule so my availability varies from day to day! Available for walking, feeding, etc! Reach out for more info :) I have extensive experience with dogs, particularly as a proud owner of two German Shepherds—an 11-year-old and a lively puppy! Additionally, I have a 6-year-old cat and actively assist my sister with her foster care efforts.

“Chelsea took great care of our pet while we were away on vacation. She was communicative the entire time and transparent about everything. She provided photos of our pet with each visit. Chelsea was punctual on all her visits with our pet and never late. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a dog walker.”

“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”

About: Full-time aunt to Kobe, a silky terrier 6 year-old sassy, well trained boy, with a strong personality. Part-time aunt to all of my friend's animals, cats/dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Super observant of animal behavior in order to understand animals needs. Highly prioritize communicating with owners about their animals, to learn and adapt to animals/owners needs. I enjoy active days, especially with a cool dog to run around or play ball with. I'm also just as good at lounging around as your cat is, if it needs someone to fluff around with, I'm that person too. I can hold down my own, when it comes to extra large sized animals or even the fiercest of them all- the tiny animals. Besides creating a fun environment for your animals, I'm also creating a positive active environment for myself. Nothing makes me happier than cool animals, they are great company. I am a fan of walks as it is, so to have an animal join me in my outdoor adventures sounds like the perfect day to me. I am currently in a space where I am working from home, so it's been nice to have the company from all the animals as well as a reason to get up from my desk during the daily walks. I am quite clean when it comes to animals, so wiping of the paws after entering from the outdoors is on a list of to-do's for me. They do after all, sleep in our beds and walk on our couches. I also do not like ingredients like wheat and filler, so I always make sure to have any/all treats or foods with ingredients that will elongate the life rather than cut it short. I do not actually have the space to board at this time, but I am more than accommodating to keeping animals in their home space to make sure they are in their most comfortable mental state, while their parent/parents are away.

“Erin was so amazing with my cat. He loved her so much. She played with him and took such good care of him while I was away on an extended trip.”

Marisa R.

“Sevinc is absolute fantastic. She was extremely attentive and friendly to my cat Arthur. I definitely felt at ease, especially with this being my cat’s first time alone overnight. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

Erica B.

“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”

Leticia D.

“Joannie is a great person and took wonderful care of our pup. She is the best!! Thank you for all that you did to help her while we were gone!”

“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 yrs old, owning cats, dogs, birds, fish, a python, guinea pig, and a blue poison dart frog. I went to ranch camp in Nebraska to ride and take care of horses. For sitting, I've looked after dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, lizards, and rabbits. I've worked overnight at a kennel for a year which included walking dogs, playing with cats, feeding, and cleaning up: blood, vomit, urine, and stool. I worked at a Veterinary hospital for 8 years. I am NOT a Vet, but I am comfortable with medicating pets, post surgery care, seniors and pets with disabilities. I've saved field mice, chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, salamanders, and bees. During the spring and summer, I house and nourish caterpillars until they turn into butterflies. Then they are released into the wild. I am available during the week, weekends, and holidays, and would be more than happy to accommodate your schedule. Occasionally, I have my own appointments or family events, but will work with you to avoid any scheduling conflicts. I believe that trust, love, compassion, transparency and common sense are all required in animal care. Both you and your fur baby should be comfortable and trust your sitter. If time allows, I prefer meet and greets to ensure a proper fit. If a pet isn't comfortable with a sitter while their parents are around, they most likely won't be comfortable while their parents are away. I believe it is important to acknowledge and understand your pet's body language and needs. A pet is not just an animal, it's your family, and should be treated as such with care and respect. I will comply with your feeding/relief/medication schedule, because it's important to keep your baby on their own routine to avoid confusion, stress, and bowel issues. I currently have a male senior cat who enjoys being an only child, so I am unable to care for other pets at my house, but am happy to take care of your munchkins in your own beautiful home.
