Dog Sitting Glen Ridge

“Nicole is so patient, kind, and friendly. My pets are all older and I could immediately see upon meeting her that she would be the best fit. My apartment was tidy and the dishes she used were washed and on the counter. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Nicole!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my Shiba Inu, Roxy, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs. I understand the importance of sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you have peace of mind. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and your furry family member will receive lots of affection, supervision, and personalized care. I know every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Hi! I’m Gisselle, a devoted dog lover and proud dog mom to my friendly Shiba Inu, Roxy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your dog feels like part of the family. Every pup in my care receives plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and individualized attention based on their unique personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll provide the care and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. I also believe communication is just as important as exceptional care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, loved, and having a great time. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. I look forward to welcoming them into our home and giving them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home. Our home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, sunbathe, and play under close supervision. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, lounging in the sun, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, they’ll have a comfortable and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with both dogs and cats, cared for my own dog for 15 wonderful years, and currently share my home with my cat. Losing my dog in 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer reminded me just how much our pets mean to us—they're family. That experience deepened my appreciation for providing patient, compassionate care and creating a calm, loving environment for every pet. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and safe while giving you complete peace of mind. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable daytime, evening, and weekend availability for walks and drop-in visits. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate recurring walks, last-minute requests, and holiday bookings with advance notice. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (when applicable), preferred walking routes, and any household routines. I take the time to ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before and after every walk or visit. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also believe communication builds trust. You'll receive prompt updates, photos, and a summary after every visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: I grew up working in a farm around nature and animals. I have experience with care, medication, feed and hearding of animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, cows and horses. I just moved to this country. I really love anímales and their well-being. I’m currently looking for a job, and I’d like to start working in a field I’m passionate about, which is animal care. I would care pets in their own home o just walking around the neighborhood, following the owner’s instructions and keeping their normal routine. I would make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, take them for walks if needed, and keep their space clean and safe. I would also pay attention to any changes in their behavior or health and communicate with owner if there are any concerns.

“Angie did a great job of taking care of our cats while my fiancé and I were on vacation. She followed our more in depth instructions with the food to a tee and did a great job making sure all the litter boxes were cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I am comfortable with animals of all ages and size and love spending time with them. I would welcome any opportunity to help out with caring for the fur babies of fellow pet parents. Currently, I work a 9 to 5 with 3 remote days so pet care can fit easily before, after, or during work when I am at home. In September, I will be working 3 times a week as a Nurse Aide and am able to pick my own schedule. I will have free time to walk or pet sit throughout the rest of the week and am able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the family. I am conscious of the importance of understanding the nature of the animals we care for and make an active effort to keep my space as cat friendly as possible for my pets. I make sure all dogs and cats I interact with feel calm and safe in my presence so they can trust me.

About: La mayoría de tiempo cuido perros o gatos a familiares, amigos y conocidos, me encanta pasar el tiempo con ellos y brindar mi amor. Trabajo por las mañanas puedo ofrecer el bienestar de tu mascota en fines de semanas desde el sábado por la tarde hasta el domingo con mucha seguridad. Tengo un pequeño jardín pero si prefieres se puede llevar al parque más cercano de tu zona para el cuidado de tu mascota.

About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a pre-teen. People have always seen me as being so welcoming caring & warm to both cats and dogs. I have plenty of time in the afternoons for walks and drop in visits. The park is 10 minutes away (walking) and I have a fenced-in yard perfect for zoomies. I have a fenced yard, plenty of toys around my house, and 2 lovely parks within walking distance of my home! I live walking distance to both Nishuane Park and Colgate Park. I also have a beagle that’s 8mo old and she loves walks and loves to play. Junie would be over the moon to have another pup to play/walk with. Additionally, I have a large crate and beds of various sizes if needed. Finally, I have 2 extra leashes, so we are good to go. Your furbabies are in good hands with me. My sister and I are animal lovers, so we treat them as our own. Junie, our beagle, will provide great company as well. Go ahead and book 😌

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, always having a dog and currently caring for four cats. I’ve raised baby kittens, which taught me patience, responsibility, and gentle care. I’m also interested in pursuing a veterinary career, reflecting my commitment to animal well-being. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine through feeding, cleaning, playtime, and quality time. I’m available for boarding on weekends and after 3 PM on weekdays, and I’m flexible to adjust when needed. In my home, I care for pets with patience and genuine love. I take pet care seriously but always make sure animals feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy through consistent routines, attention, and gentle care.

“My dogs became aggressive with each other Not Julie our awesome Rover person. After they separated she took all the proper measures and best practices - I was on a cruise - so I was unreachable -she called my emergency contact - she took one of the dogs to the Veterinary hospital to ensure all was well. - she kept in constant contact with my emergency contact a Nurse for over 10 years. - she called the next morning to ensure the dogs were ok and being well cared for. - SHE is amazing -”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 18 years old, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I also have professional experience in pet grooming, having worked as both a bather and a dog groomer. This gives me an edge in handling pets gently and confidently, especially during bath time or when dealing with nervous or high-energy pets. Whether it’s daily care, grooming needs, or providing extra attention to puppies or senior pets, I bring patience, skill, and genuine love for animals to every job. I am currently working in a Pet Grooming as a dog groomer during the week. My availability is only on weekends but I am open for a conversation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and loved. I follow any instructions provided closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or special preferences—and I always take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace

About: When you love dogs or cats that love will always be with you whether you're caring for your own pets or someone else's. I believe pets should be treated with love and a concern for their comfort, happiness and well-being. After owning a retail business for many years and then working for a major national bank, it was time for a change. Why not do something that involves my love for pets? Dog walking was the answer. For the past nine years I've been delivering dog walking services to pet owners ensuring strict supervision of pets during walks while providing a safe and nurturing environment for dogs with different needs, temperaments and medical conditions. Most importantly, you can rest assured that the safety, security and well-being of your dog will always be my number one priority. What makes me different is that your dog is walked by one consistent walker--me. There's no rotating cast of walkers and no wondering who is coming to your home. I get to know your dog's personality, routine, and individual needs, while you always know exactly who is caring for your pet. And I love keeping owners in the loop! I regularly send photos from our walks, and one of my favorite things is hearing from owners about how much they enjoy seeing their dogs having fun. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and become someone you can count on. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday between 8 am & 4 pm. I’m not usually available on weekends, however, if you’re in a bind and need a walk or a visit on a Saturday or a Sunday, and I have no plans that weekend, I most likely will be able to do it as long as it’s no later than 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.

About: Having grown up on a farm and surrounded by various animals, my pet care experience is extensive and deeply ingrained. From nurturing newborn alpacas to handling our pets everyday needs, I have a wealth of knowledge in tending to their well-being. Additionally, having cherished pets of my own over the years has further honed my understanding of their unique requirements and behaviors. My background instills confidence in providing compassionate and skilled care for any furry or feathered companion that comes my way. As a software engineer with a wonderfully flexible schedule, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. My love for animals makes them an essential part of my life, and I prioritize their well-being with the same dedication I give to coding. Whether it's feeding my pets, taking them for refreshing walks, or engaging in playtime, I ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. It's a win-win situation that keeps me both productive and connected to nature. Living on the second floor of a quiet community with a courtyard just outside my door and nearby woods, I provide attentive pet care both at home and for clients. In my home, I ensure pets have a comfortable and secure space to relax, whether it's a cozy pet bed or their own crate if preferred. Regular walks and adventures in the nearby woods offer them ample exercise and stimulation. With plenty of playtime, love, and a variety of pet toys on hand, I make sure they feel right at home and well-cared for throughout their stay.

“The only person we trust our dogs with!”
