Dog Sitting in Leonia

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. To me, dogs are never “just pets”, they’re family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave a family member in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I also have two years of professional dog walking experience, which has helped me become confident with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very affectionate, dependable, and attentive, and I always take the time to understand what each dog needs to feel happy and secure. Whether that means going on long energetic walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them comfort and companionship, I’ll always care for them with kindness, patience, and love. I truly enjoy building a bond with every dog, and I treat them the same way I would want someone to treat my own. 🫶 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I have open availability and can adjust my schedule as needed. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, so I’m able to take on walks, drop-ins, or sitting whenever I’m needed. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all instructions carefully: feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, whether that means playtime, long walks, or just being there with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m very clean and respectful of the home as well, so I always leave things the way I found them. Most importantly, I pay close attention to how each pet is feeling and adjust my care based on their personality, whether they need a lot of energy and stimulation or a calm, gentle presence.

“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”

About: As a pet parent for most of my life, I’m passionate about all different animals. While I am a self-proclaimed dog person, I love all pets and consider them family. Because of this, I believe in treating your pets as if they were my own! I have owned dogs for most of my life and have extensive experience in dog care, such as walking, feeding, bathing, and playing. I have helped family members and friends with different services whenever needed, and truly have a passion for spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, and believe every dog deserves kindness regardless of breed. I have taken care of cats before and am also very comfortable with them! I also have my own vehicle, meaning I can transport your pet to any location as needed. I’m comfortable standing, walking, and playing for long amounts of time, as some pets require more energy and attention than others. I’m also very detail-orientated and will follow any instructions as listed by the client, such as for feeding and bathing. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and take pride in carefully caring for them ❤️. My schedule is very flexible, meaning I have time for different pet services throughout the week. I am available most days, and am a stickler for scheduling and being punctual, meaning you never have to worry about mix-ups or last-minute cancellations. My calendar is always freshly updated so that you may know if I’m ever unavailable! I can take care of any pet in a client’s home provided that the client has necessary items, such as food, toys, and a bed/crate. I’ve taken care of pets with both strict and flexible routines, and am comfortable following a schedule or being spontaneous and taking care of a let’s needs as they arise. I’m also comfortable with administering oral medication, as I have experience doing this with my own dog.

“Alyssa is incredibly reliable and responsive! Even with a last minute request and during Christmas, she was able to care for our pets. I trust Alyssa in my home and with our cats. It’s an added bonus that she sends pictures every visit.”

About: I have over ten years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, bathing, medications, and reinforcing basic training routines. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day and week.

About: My pet care experience began when I was a child; I volunteered at animal shelters, pet-sat for neighbors and family, and cared for my family’s dog, Gustavo! As an adult, my commitment to animal care has grown. I graduated from University of Maryland in 2024 with a B.S. in Animal Sciences. While earning my degree, I gained hands-on training concerning cats, dogs, rabbits, and multiple species of large animals. During the following year, I worked as a veterinary assistant at an emergency veterinary hospital. This job allowed me to care for pets with a wide variety of needs, from behavioral issues to critical medical conditions. Currently, I am earning my master's through University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. My extensive animal experience and education have prepared me to provide high quality care for your pet, no matter what needs they may have! I am currently an online graduate student, which means that I am highly flexible. I am usually able to accommodate whatever hours my clients need! With that being said, I am only capable of taking on short-term bookings due to my commitments to current clients. My top priority when caring for any pet is understanding their needs on an individual level. My experience has taught me that connecting with each unique pet results in the most effective care possible! Let me know the type of environment that makes both you and your pet most comfortable and I will be sure to provide it.

About: I have always had animals in my life since I was 12 and I always took care of them. I love my animals with the very core of my being. I’m available full time so I can take care of any pet needs while the owner is away on a business trip, vacation or whatever plans they may have coming up. I live in an apartment so I walk my dog 5 times a day for good exercise and to use the bathroom. In a pet owners home I will feed, cage, play, let outside if there’s a yard, walk or whatever it is to make sure all needs of the pet and the owners demands are met. Everyone’s pet is different so I would follow what the owners tell me.

“Mya was truly a blessing and the perfect kitty sitter! She was extremely attentive and loving to my two little spoiled cats. She was always on time and spent a lot of quality time with them. They were instantly in love with and felt super comfortable with her. I was away for work at my new job and wanted to fully committed without worrying. She sent many cute pictures and just went above and beyond. Hire her! But not when I need her 😅 (jk) you won’t regret it. ♥️”

“Our young dog has separation anxiety, she screams and jumps at the door the entire time when we leave her alone. I'm so thankful we found Amanda so that we could have an evening out without worrying about what was happening at home. We loved getting updates and photos throughout the evening. The experience exceeded our expectations and we will use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets since I was a little girl. Mostly dogs and cats in my adult years. I haven’t gotten a new dog since I had to say goodbye to my last furry friend. Now I want to have part time pets to love I’m a photographer and a design coordinator who works outside my home a few weeks a year and spends most time home editing photos, or playing with my two grandsons. I have a nice fenced in yard and a beautiful park across the street. I live in a quiet neighborhood with nice streets for walks. There is also a dog park close by.

About: What sets me apart is my patience and how I read dogs instead of forcing them. I’m good with stubborn dogs, strong pullers, senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I stay calm, don’t rush them, and adjust to each dog’s pace and personality. I focus on safety, consistency, and trust, making sure every walk or visit is a good experience. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Ive also been around dogs of different shapes and sizes my whole life! Pet care is part of my regular routine. I plan my days around walks and visits so I’m not rushing and can focus on each pet. I stay consistent during the week and flexible when owners need adjustments. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walking, and potty breaks, and I give them time to settle in without rushing. I always supervise them, especially at first, to make sure they’re comfortable and calm. I keep my home clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they have a quiet place to rest. I also send owners updates and photos so they know their pet is doing good.

“Allison is great! Prompt and thorough with the drop in visits with my 3 cats.”

“Lee is an amazing dog sitter and walker -- over the course of almost 2 years we worked with Lee in NY as our primary sitter/walker. He was incredibly responsive via text, the app or otherwise. With walking he walked my Dane - Ryan 2-5 times a week and would flex to show up when I was often late at the office. Lee also stayed at my home with Ryan often - he was clean, respectful of the space an totally attentive to my pup. My roommate mentioned rarely noticing he had even been there. When Lee wasn't available he had friends on recommendation who were amazing and even went out of his way to hand off his set of keys to them. Lee became such a part of Ryan's life often he was more excited when Lee arrived than when I did! We've since moved to LA and will miss him greatly!”
