House Sitting in Franklin Lakes

“I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs all my life. First there was Beethoven, then Mozart, followed by Rachmaninov, and then Wolfgang. All family dogs and all miniature schnauzers. And now I am the proud dog mom of Betty the Boston Terrier with one brown eye and one blue. Both in my family’s house growing up and now my house, everyone knows dogs are welcome additions at my house; they will be loved and cared for and have the best time, too. It will be my honor and pleasure to know and spend time with your four legged family member. I am currently working part-time in the evenings during the week, so I am free all morning and early afternoon to walk your sweet pups. And on weekends I am flexible all day. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for sneaky goofy puppies, quiet old folks, rambunctious, playful, and everything in between. I also have some experience in behavioral training, as well. My goal is to make your dog comfortable and happy on their walk, making sure they are safe, stimulated, and exercised. I am currently working part-time in the evenings during the week, so I am free all morning and early afternoon to walk your sweet pups. And on weekends I am flexible all day. I am always attentive to both the owner’s needs as well as the pet’s needs and habits and I make sure to accommodate and deliver consistently.

“We are very pleased with the exemplary care that Alexa provided to our dog Finnegan during a several day stay in our home. Finnegan warmed up to her within seconds of meeting her. She was proactive in communicating with us regularly, providing much-appreciated pictures. Alexa has been a caring, reliable, and responsible sitter whom we’d recommend to others and plan to call upon again!”

About: I’ve had many pets since I was young, rabbits, dogs, small rodents and hermit crabs. All have been taken care of in a loving home! I have worked on a lot of training with my chiweenie Paige, who is now almost 10. I have pet sit for friends and family many times and love to meet new animals. I am currently a student at Ramapo College so once a schedule is worked out with clients I can be dependable with timing and consistent Though I may not always be able to board dogs depending on the time of year I can learn your routine with your pets and adapt as needed in your household

About: I am current graduate student at Ramapo college looking for a new way to spend time with dogs (since I can’t get one of my own just yet)! I just ended my time volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay as a short term volunteer with completing my undergraduate degree. In the past I have worked at a dog daycare taking care of 15-20 dogs at a time. I pet sit for friends and family all the time but I am looking to meet new furry friends. I’m currently working part-time and attending school full-time on two nights a week. During the week, I have some nights free, and before classes, I have mornings and afternoons free! I will not offer in-home services as I have a family pet that does not get along well with other dogs, but does great with humans.

“I am very happy to find Lisbeth, she takes good care of my dog Ruby. Ruby is a senior with weak legs and slightly difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Lisbeth.”

About: I’m a long-time cat and dog owner with experience caring for friends’ and families’ pets as well. I have lots of free time and flexible availability. I currently work part-time where I choose my own hours! I’m looking forward to using my free time to care for your pets and give them my full attention. I will care for your pets in whichever way best works for you. I’ll keep them safe and away from other animals and humans on walks, give them the right amount of exercise for their breed or size, and give them all the pets and attention they could ever ask for.

About: I have had a medium sized dog since 2020, I helped my family train him. I am pretty confident around dogs and am not afraid around them giving a safe space. I am currently attending college full-time while working part-time. I am home every Thursday-Sunday since I am commuting only Monday-Wednesdays. I am available on most nights for any pet needs. I am an excellent walker and live to spoil dogs with love. I can hang and be with them so they are not alone during mini weekend trip.

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

“Kristy was super detail oriented and attentive! We trusted her implicitly and look forward to booking again”

About: I have had a pet by my side since the day I was born. Pets are family and they deserve to be treated as such. Specifically, I have cared for other pets the last 7 years; feeding and cleaning fish tanks, overnight stays combined with daily dog walks and changing cat litter and cleaning their coats. To care for other's pets is a privilege that I do not take lightly, there is trust and commitment needed. I want to allow individuals to feel comfortable that their pet is cared for in times when they are unable to do so themselves. Above all else if a pet needs care, I want to provide them with a friendly face, playful affect and calm presence to ensure successful care treatment. I am currently working a full-time job that requires me to work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. I occasionally work 1 day of the weekend and will provide full schedule is a service is requested. I will provide open and honest communication with client and maintain a flexible schedule outside of work hours. Currently I am unable to board pets in my home. It is something I hope can happen later in life at a different residence. In the client's home, I will care for their pet as they would like me to, ultimately wanting the pet to maintain their normal schedule as best as possible.

About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

About: ** please note I work a hybrid schedule - 1 week in office l, 1 week from home, alternating. I’m more flexible with my schedule the weeks I work from home.*** Hello! I’d love to learn more about your pet care needs. I’m truly passionate about animals and understand firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I grew up around many different animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and even a turtle! Currently, I share my home with the sweetest 5-year-old cat. I have experience caring for pets with temperament challenges, special needs, medical conditions, and those who simply need a little extra patience and love. I completely understand that every pet is unique, and no request is ever “too much.” I’m happy to follow detailed routines and provide personalized care. I’m available all day on weekends in Bergen County, NJ, and I work a hybrid schedule during the week, which allows for flexibility. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my day around feeding schedules, check-ins, playtime, and litter box care to make sure pets receive consistent, high-quality care. On weekends, I’m fully available and able to provide extra time, attention, and flexibility. I prioritize maintaining each cat’s normal routine to minimize stress, and I’m always happy to accommodate specific timing requests when possible. I provide attentive, in-home care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety. In my clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I always move at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I keep the home clean and secure, make sure pets have fresh food and water, and spend quality time providing companionship, enrichment, and affection based on each pet’s preferences. I’m observant of behavior changes and will communicate promptly if anything seems off.
