Monica has done an amazing job with our 6-month old puppy, Bubba. He has a lot of energy and can sometimes be a handful but we know he is in good hands with Monica. She also takes incredible pictures of their walks/play and responds to any questions we have very quickly. In addition, she goes above and beyond to try and accommodate any last minute requests. We strongly recommend her!

I can’t say enough good things about Sam. He took excellent care of my two cats for nine days. Sam provided detailed notes and photos of my cats after every visit (which was twice daily). Whenever I had a question he responded promptly. I extended the length of my vacation and Sam accommodated the change without hesitation. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, look no further than Sam. He is outstanding.

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: I've watched countless friends' and family members' pets, as well my own, and currently have an 8 year old Goldendoodle named Gatsby who I adventure with every day. I believe in meeting dogs' full physical and mental needs beyond the minimum. I structure my walks to allow for maximum exercise as well as plenty of mental stimulation like sniffing and exploration. I listen to every dog--each one is very different! I'm a recent graduate on break with a ton of time to hang out with your dogs/cats and am based in the Glen Rock area. I am super gentle and affectionate with all dogs/cats (and animals in general). When at a client's house I make sure to respect the dog's environment and follow the owners' procedures

About: You should pick me because I grew up with dogs my whole life, having multiple at a time plus cats, rabbits, and birds all under the same roof! Whenever I see a dog in public I love to engage with them. I've dog sat plenty of times from dogs that weigh 10 pounds to dogs that weigh 100. Whether they jump, bark, lick or always want to play I am always willing to give them love. It makes me smile when you know the dog is happy and when they feel comfortable with you. I am known to be a people person but people say I can be more of an animal person with giving them so much attention. I love dogs and they love me (plus any other animals!)

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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.

About: I absolutely love to hike and walk after work and on Saturdays. I would love to share my love of the outdoors with a dog who might not have the chance to be walked in the evenings or on a Saturdays. I am a loving Mother of 2 boys ages 18 and 21 and I own a Mini-Goldendoodle who has brought my family so much love. I am a very loving, caring and patient person who would like to share some spare time with a dog who could use some fresh air and great walks. I have cared for my dog for over 9 years and believe I have the experience necessary to be a great dog walker. I am looking for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings to walk and also available most Saturdays during the day. Sundays my boyfriend, my Goldendoodle and I hike all over the Hudson Valley if someone is interested in us taking their dog along.

About: I'm a huge animal lover and have had my own pups (a Yorkie and a blue Frenchie), and I currently have a mini Bernedoodle! I have plenty of experience caring for one or multiple pets at a time, as well as overnight care/extended stays. I'm most comfortable caring for puppies, older dogs, and cats, and I'm open to just about anything. I have experience with handling everything from walks and feedings to basic training and medications. Let me know what you're looking for and I'd be happy to help! I live a very active lifestyle and would love some company! My schedule is flexible during the week and my weekends typically look like park runs and pup cups! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that would absolutely go for a pupdate! I have a crate and can separate if need be!

About: I started my experience dog walking 2 years ago for a professor’s friend in Winchester, Virginia. Twice a week, I would walk her hyper pups. She then recommended me to her father, whose dog I began walking twice a week as well. From there, my mini business boomed through word of mouth. I began dog sitting in people’s homes as well for multiple individuals for varying time spans. Most of the dogs I interacted with were seniors and required extensive care. However, all dogs owners loved and recommended me to others! I still walk the original dogs and add in others as my schedule allows with two other jobs. I am sad to leave my extensive clientele in Winchester, but I am moving back to New Jersey for graduate school and excited to meet new puppy friends!! For the summertime, I am incredibly flexible with nothing planned. I prefer weekly walks / drop ins, but also like sitting as well. In August, I start physical therapy school at Columbia University so my availability will decrease but I’d be willing to provide services on nights / weekends. During breaks, my availability will open up again! Whenever walking / sitting, I respect the owner’s rules, no matter what. I long to maintain utmost cleanliness and adherence to routine as physically possible. I am also very communicative and honest, building trust with my clients.

Jack was anwesome! He came right on time and thoroughly did everything we told him to do. He exceeded all expectations with his care for our dog, Colby. Not only did he ensure Colby’s physical exercise needs were met, but he also went above and beyond by capturing numerous funny photos of Colby during their walk, when he was fed, and when he was playing with him. We're very grateful for Jack's dedication and the joy he brought to both our dog and us. 5 stars!

About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾

About: Having a pet is a privilege and they deserve all of the love and attention we can offer! I’ve had many varieties of pets throughout my life such as birds, cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles. I’m big on hiking and parks, so if we’re a good match, I’d love the opportunity to take your furry friend out to explore! I find it very easy following a schedule if needed, as I understand how important it is for your pet to continue good and healthy habits. I intend on giving your beloved pet everything they need while we hang out, enjoying the day! I’m currently a full-time student, on my last semester before graduating! It’s important for me to prioritize spending time with the fur family (mine & yours). I enjoy being proactive with animals by taking them to parks, on hiking trails or to the water! Trust is key! I encourage you to share your daily routine with me and/or any special instructions so I can give your pets the same care you give them! Following directions will never be an issue; it’s important to me that you feel comfortable in trusting that your little ones are in great hands!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with small and large breeds, as well as dogs who may need medication, special care, or extra patience. I rescued my first dog, Lola, a pitbull, in 2017. She was an amazing dog, and as she got older and developed health issues, I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and pets with extra needs. In 2021, I rescued my second dog, Shadow, a German Shepherd/pitbull mix. He’s currently 9 years old but still has the energy of a puppy — though he’ll never turn down a cuddle. I currently work 3 days a week, 10am-11:30pm, so I wouldn’t be available to work on those days. The days I work changes each week, so please message me for updates on my schedule that week! I would be completely available any day I’m not working my full time job. Please reach out with any questions! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep them comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. I will follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and affection while keeping their environment clean and safe.

About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.
