House Sitting in Ho-Ho-Kus

“Milena stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and she was great! We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! She kept us posted with pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!!”

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.

“Justine stayed with our dog over the weekend while we were attending our daughter’s wedding. She was AMAZING in every way. It was so comforting to know he was in good hands and that allowed us to enjoy the weekend. She’s lovely and our dog is happy.”

“Victoria took wonderful care of our puppy for several hours and did an amazing job! She made sure our pup was well fed, played with her, and kept her happy the entire time. She was very organized, attentive, and followed all our instructions perfectly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“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!”

“Melinda is amazing! She came to meet my pup ahead of time, developing a real rapport with her. During her time with my puppy, she communicated very well, took great care of my dog, and showed her real love. She also did a little dog training, which was very welcome. Love Melinda and our experience with her.”

“Tatiana was great! She took the time to meet before the day she was going nj to Dogsit. She sent lots of updates and photos and was a joy to communicate with. Thank you Tatiana!”

“Lisbeth was great with our furbabies! She took great care of our home & pets, and provided fabulous pictures while we were gone. She was very responsive to us, and also respectful in her updates, and not at all bothersome of our vacation. Our dog is high energy and pretty attached to us, and Lisbeth took excellent care of him, with lots of walks, fetch, attention and care, so he was happy while we were gone (& when we came back). We would ABSOLUTELY have Lisbeth stay again! Thank you Lisbeth - you’re a gem & rockstar!!”

“Melissa was wonderful with our new tiny Maltese puppy Penny. She was loving and patient with Penny and we look forward to having her come stay with Penny again in our home.”

About: Experienced dog & cat sitting of all ages. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I work from home 5 plus years now, I have the flexibility for pet care. I also volenteer at a local cat adoption place walking distance from my home I can feed, walk & crate furry friends and sometimes have playtime at a park if needed. Per pet, I follow their specific routine for feeding, exercise, and medication, while also ensuring a safe and clean environment. Communicate with the owner beforehand.

“Yvette spent a couple of days with Oliver and was great within. She provided timely updates and pictures, asked questions when needed and Oliver was great with her. Would definitely book her again.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Ivy, who stayed overnight with our two Bernese Mountain Dog pups. She was incredibly attentive, engaging them with playtime and making sure they were comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Ivy provided regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Above all, she was professional, polite, and courteous. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”

“Rachel took care of Kuma at our apartment while we went to a wedding out of state and we couldn’t be happier with choosing her! She was extremely professional, provided great communication and updates the whole time, and gave so much kindness and love to our pup. He definitely received the best care possible from her. If we have another event coming up soon we will definitely be reaching back out!”

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.

“Bowie loves his walks with Cory!”

“Hillary was absolutely amazing with our 17-year-old senior dog. Caring for an extremely elderly dog is not easy. It takes patience, experience, and compassion. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We had total peace of mind knowing that our dog was in such loving and capable hands. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Pete is one of the best dog sitters I've ever worked with. He's very much a dog person and had an intuitive sense for how my dog Bandit was doing. He was very effective in taking care of Bandits' needs including some special medical foods and procedures required. And he's flexible -- he was able to also take care of my daughter's dog Brandy for some of the time while he was also taking care of Bandit. He also is an effective communicator and regularly sent us texts and pictures, as well as knowing when to ask questions if there might be a problem that arose. He's just very good. I highly recommend Pete (although please don't hire him when I need him). Thanks.”

About: Animals have always been family to me. I grew up with dogs and now share my home with two cats who are truly my kids. I’m the kind of pet parent who wakes up in the middle of the night if they need me, or rushes to the vet the moment something feels off. When I lived with my parents, I cared for their two dogs with the same devotion. From daily walks and playtime to the less glamorous tasks, I did it all with love. What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to treating every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing play and structure, or a senior pet who deserves patience and gentle care, I bring reliability, compassion, and the kind of attentiveness that gives pet parents peace of mind. With me, your pets will feel safe, loved, and cared for as if you never left. I work full-time as a Human Resources Benefits Administrator monday through friday 8–5, but outside of those hours I’m available for pet care. On Fridays I work remotely, which gives me extra flexibility. I can do daytime visits, evenings, or overnight care the night before. I make sure to plan around my work schedule so your pets get the attention they need. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. I care for pets like they’re my own. I follow your routines so their day feels normal and stress-free, whether it’s mealtime, playtime, or quiet time. I keep things clean and safe by refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and tidying up after walks or play. Every pet is different, I pay attention to what makes them happy, extra cuddles, space to relax, or more play.
