About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

Cristina took wonderful care of my 4-month-old kitten for a week while my family and I were out of town. She communicated well, responded promptly, and sent us pictures every day. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my kitten and took great care of her. Cristina followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Before we returned, she took out the kitty litter garbage and left the bathroom clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter!

About: Hello! My name is Mallory and I’m so happy to virtually meet you! My fur baby pictured in my profile image is Dippy, a 14 year old senior kitty! I grew up with pets of all kinds living in my household: cats, dogs, turtles, bunnies, hamsters! Although I don’t necessarily have “special skills” in the pet care department, I’m absolutely willing to learn new things to best accommodate your child or children! As a mother of three beautiful cats, I’m likely found feeding them during their meal times, refreshing their water, cleaning their litter boxes daily, giving my senior baby some extra tender care, giving my two youngsters some extra play time, getting all of them their vet needs, etc! Since I do have three cats who aren’t entirely open to other fur children wandering around, I would take care of your pet in your home where they feel the safest. I’ll do my best to maintain their typical routine during your travel, considering their meal times, play times, and bathroom times of course!

About: I’m a caring and responsible dog sitter with a genuine love for animals and experience providing attentive, personalized care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved through walks, playtime, and companionship. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my time caring for animals. I love being active, attentive, and present, making walks, check-ins, and quality time with pets a rewarding part of my day. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while respecting their routines and individual needs. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets happy and relaxed through feeding, playtime, walks, clean-up, and plenty of attention. I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully so their pets feel secure and cared for while they’re away.

About: Hello!! My name is Amelie, it nice to meet you! Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I truly believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and happy even when their favorite humans are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Every pet has their own unique personality, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know what makes them happiest. I'll follow their routine, give them lots of love and attention, and send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to making new four-legged friends! I currently have my mornings free from 9-5 and afterwards I have my part time! I make sure I was enough wiggle room based on your pets needs and time variations so please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have I’m happy to clear up any doubts! I can take in cats in my home and depending on your cats needs I will gladly adjust! I will be home with them at all times so if they have a favorite game or simply enjoy chill company I will gladly do whatever makes them most comfortable! I also do drop ins! Just let me know what your pet routine is and I’ll take it from there. If it’s to feed or even let them out I’ll make sure they get what they need and send a farewell picture :D

With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I am a school psychologist in Palisades Park. I have owned dogs my entire life. I love a dog's need for attention and their energy and unconditional love! During the summer, I can be available most days and most times during the day. I am available most evenings. I'm an early bird! I am looking forward to becoming friends with your dog while getting our exercise. I am also looking forward to your pet getting the attention he or she needs. I'm friendly, honest, loyal, and looking forward to a new adventure. I have a dog, Stephen. He is 3 years old and lives at home with me and my husband. Reach out to see if we’re a good match! I’m available some weekends. I can take them on walks, follow a schedule, and love a routine. My current dog is chill and likes other dogs too. How would you like me to take care of your dog? You just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions. I know how important it is to have a trusting person watch my dog. Your dog is allowed on my bed, couch, and wherever he may be comfortable.

About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.

Jennie was wonderful in caring for our kitties. We have 3 inside and 1 outside. She was timely and thorough with her communication and sent many photos! On one visit, she noticed that the water fountain for the cats wasn’t working so she alerted me. I was able to troubleshoot shoot it with her and she was able to get it running again. Jennie is very professional and caring. We would highly recommend Jennie.

Chris has a kind, steady demeanor that our puppy immediately responds to, and he’s incredibly patient.
