Dog Sitting in Highland Park

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We can't praise Mike enough for his incredible pet-sitting services! He has stayed over and also dropped in for visits. He has taken care of our three dogs and two cats flawlessly. Mike not only follows our instructions to the T, but also has a remarkable ability for understanding our pets' needs even without detailed guidance. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing our furry crew are in such capable hands. His warm and caring approach makes it clear that he genuinely loves animals, and our pets adore him! If you're looking for a reliable and skilled pet sitter, we highly recommend Mike. You won't regret it!”

“Olivia is so patient with Carmela. I really appreciate it. Carmela is very shy and nervous and Olivia does a great job keeping her calm. I feel great leaving Carmela in Olivia’s care.”

“Jasmin did a great job looking after our cat Clementine while we were away. Clementine warmed up to her very quickly. She was very communicative and easy to work with. I will definitely trust her to watch Clementine again in the future.”

“Thank you so much for the last minute drop in! My dogs and I appreciated it. You took the extra effort to take them out and make sure they had food and water. Will use again ?”

About: I love how each individual pet has their own personality. I know how much pets mean to each family and I know I am capable of caring them like their own pawrents. I currently work as a full timer hybrid schedule. I do go to office on Thursdays but that’s about it. I can be there for pets any other day including weekends! I have a fenced in backyard and I do have my own pet. She’s a senior pupper who’s 15 but she’s thriving and acts like a puppy still. Fenced in back yard is huge for us because she can roam freely as she pleases and will allow for other pets to safely roam in between walk breaks!

About: I have so much love and care for pets that I cannot just go past knowing that pets need care and attention. I have had pets myself and have raised my pets with a lot of love and care. I would love to share that with other pets as well! I am a college student and I am currently on summer break. I am pretty flexible with schedules! Feel free to accommodate schedules if needed! I am able to walk your pets in any areas or visit your home to give care as needed. They will be safe and taken care of in any environment!

About: Hi there! I was previously a volunteer at an animal shelter, worked with didabled animals, and fostered several animals helping them find forever homes. I have a true passion for animals and enjoy being around all kinds of pets! Furry members of the family are important and should be treated as such! I am comfortable with all size dogs as well as cats and exotic animals. I would love to help you take care of your fur babies!! I enjoy being outside and going for long walks/hikes but am willing to assist in any way you need. I will gladly work around both of our schedules to accommodate your needs! I am more available in the morning and evenings but can switch things around if necessary. I keep dogs active and loved while parents are away and have no issues with keeping up with your usual schedule so their routine isn’t thrown off.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets. Whenever they went of vacation, unable to walk they’re fury friend, or dr appointments. I love them all so much and treat them like my own! I work part-time. I’m very flexible which noticed with time. If it’s last minute I will always find a way to make it work. I’m very understandable I would try to get their trust, be playful, and try to make them feel very comfortable with me since we’re going to be around each other for some time

About: With over 10 years of dedicated pet care experience, I pride myself on providing attentive, personalized care tailored to each furry friend's unique needs. I prioritize safety, companionship, and enriching experiences for every pet under my care, striving to create a bond built on trust and love. I’m currently a full time student & working part-time at a hospital, Working to eventually get into the medical field! Although scheduling at times may be challenging for many of us, I prioritize the well-being of the animals I care for. I allocate specific time slots each day for walks, feeding, playtime, ensuring consistency and reliability. When caring for pets in a client's home, I adapt to their familiar surroundings, maintaining consistency and minimizing stress. Whether in my home or my client's home, my goal is to create a positive and enriching experience for pets, fostering a sense of security, happiness, and well-being.

“Great communication and my very stand off ish dog loved her as well! 💕”

About: I have experience working with an animal control department, giving me expertise in working with dogs and cats (and the occasional ferret) in high stress situations! I am a graduate student, so I have flexibility during the day as well as during the work week. I also enjoy the outdoors and would love to include your pet on my daily walk 😊 I take priority in safety for both your pet and myself. I know how to handle caring for pets when they are unfamiliar with me, but I also know how to love on them to make them feel safe!

About: I've had cats my whole life and I've had my dog Ellie since I was 11 (she's now 11!) so I have a lot of experience with both--feeding, playing, changing litter, walking, and bathing. I've also petsat for family and friends many times. I love all types of dogs and cats and I am able and good at adapting to any specific needs--I just want to ensure they're the happiest and healthiest they can be while under my care. Additionally, last summer I worked as a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare/boarding company. At this job, I got to walk, feed, give water, and spend time and play with a bunch of dogs every day. Even though giving the dogs affection wasn't a required part of the job and many of my coworkers overlooked it, I always tried to pet and spend a few minutes at a time with as many dogs as I could (so long as they were friendly and appreciated it). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to continue working there again this summer because I am living in a different city this summer. I would love to have another opportunity to take care of and play with a bunch of dogs like before! :) I'm currently home from college for the summer and my schedule is completely open other than a trip July 11th-19th. I am free to petsit or dog walk any time or day before going back to college on August 20th as long as we arrange it a few days ahead of time. My care for your pet would depend entirely upon what you request and what I read from the behavior of your pet. In my home, we walk my dog on long walks once or twice a day and shorter walks in between, in the morning, and before bed. Ellie is crate-trained and feels best going to sleep in her crate, but if I cared for your pet I would accomodate to whatever your pet is used to. I am very athletic and outdoorsy so I can accomodate to more high-energy dogs that need lots of exercise but I also am perfectly fine mostly chilling inside or going on slower walks if that's what your dog prefers. For my cat Max, we keep him indoors all the time and in a certain section of the house because he gets anxious easily and my dog isn't very cat-friendly, but he is litter-box trained with a self-cleaning box and we spend a good portion of the day cuddling with him and playing. I prefer to petsit in your home rather than mine just to keep the routine your pet is familiar with and not create any anxiety--plus my home is relatively small. At the same time, if necessary I could potentially house a very mellow cat in my home for a short period with no trouble.

About: I’ve been a nanny for humans for 8 years and caring/walking for their pups while the families were out of town. I have a 10 year old frenchie, and am privy to senior dog needs. I am currently not doing boarding or overnights- just dog walking pups☺️. I work from home full-time and a pretty flexible schedule,so available for frequent walks and lots of cuddles to ensure the pup feels right at home I work fully remote so I’m home 90% of the day. I walk the pups in my neighborhood which has all sidewalks and a very safe community neighborhood. I always have them on leash and ask they have a collar

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals since I was little. I grew up with dogs, cats, lizards, birds, hamsters. I spent my summers when I was little taking care of horses. Not only have I taken care of pets of my own, but my neighbors often entrusted me with taking care of their pets too, and still do. Feeding, bathing, walking, I’ve done it all. The area that I have the least experience in is puppies, but I do love them and am more than willing to take care of them. I’m also currently employed at a vet’s hospital where my duties include walking, feeding, bathing, and checking on the overall wellness of the patients including cats and dogs. I’m currently a full time student studying animal science. I have classes Monday-Friday but my weekends and Friday nights are free. Pet care would be my main priority during the weekend! I am able to spend the nights during the weekday and feed breakfast and/or dinner as long as the pet does not need attendance during the day :) I’m a very big advocate for animal safety and well being! I have no issues crating an animal if it is needed and they are crate trained. I also often allow the pets to come to me and take into consideration their body language and discomfort level. If staying at your house, I will try to enrich their day as much as possible by playing with them, speaking to them, spending time with them, etc. They will be my best friend for the time I’m with them!

About: I have owned dogs almost my whole life and I can't imagine ever living without one. I have experience with many breeds of dogs large and small. I will play with them. I have basic first aid experience and can give medicine. I also have flexible hours. I just lost my little Pomeranian. Timber was 20 years and 4 months old. I rescued him at 4 years old. This is the kind of care that i will bring to your pet(s). I have a Veterinary Assistant certificate from Middlesex County College. I also trained my Very stubborn pit bull to sit, stay and walk without pulling. I will be very patient and loving with your pets. I will love them as you do. I also have experience with birds, turtles, rabbits, and guinea pigs.

About: I helped care for my family’s black lab mutt since I was 9 years old. When she passed in 2021, we were dog sitting for family friends quite often! On my own, for the past 2 years, I have done some dog sitting and a little cat sitting at friends and family’s houses. I have cared for large and medium sized dogs, some good listeners and some bad listeners. I am experienced with calm, hyper, young, and old dogs. You can rely on me to meet your pet’s needs and stick to their normal routine as much as possible! My job is a hybrid structure to allow me flexibility for pet care. I am almost always available in the evenings after work and most weekends to play with your pets, walk them, or feed them! I am available to come to your home as often as desired. I keep my word, I am attentive, and responsible. I truly love spending time with doggos and kitties and will take care of them like my own.

About: I have a 7 year chihuahua mix that I adopted from a local animal shelter is is the sweaters and quiet. Her name is Mimi! She has a certificate from PetsMart from completing a training course and knows how to sit, down, give me paw both alternating paws. She is potty and leashed trained. I love to take for walks at least 4 times a day. I currently have to go into work but it is flexible and I can create my own a Schedule during the week. I have experience dog sitting my friends chihuahua and my brother Maltese as well as overnight boarding. I love giving pups nicknames as I get to know their personalities. For example, my pup goes by Mimi, Memes, Memmers , Mimicent, Mimicita. .

About: I’d love to meet your pets and go on mini adventures with them :) I’ve had my own dog before and I’ve fostered kittens. I love animals and have babysat many (lots of huskies so i’m trained for the drama). I’m a recent grad with extra time on my hands and a landlord that doesn’t allow pets so please let me show yours some love! I currently only have one part time job so plenty of time to fit in for pet care, reach out for more details I am very flexible! I am very respectful of all spaces and places, when coming to your home to check on your pets I will do my upmost best to keep everything as you like it.

“Natasha took great care of my old cat! I’m more than pleased with her and highly recommend her and I will definitely use her services again. Thanks Natasha! ❤️”
