About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. My family always had pets. As an owner of my own pets, I understand the love and attention they need. I offer the flexibility and loving space needed to cater to any needs of your family pet. I would love them like they’re my own. I was a nurse before staying home with my kids, who are now in school full time. I’d be home all day with your fur baby so they’d have all my attention for play, cuddles, & walks. I have a fenced in back yard if your fur baby likes to play outside, or plenty of room inside my house to play. My family has an almost 3 year old goldendoodle who is the sweetest pup. She would enjoy having friends to play with.

We LOVE Maryann. Whenever we are away we know our dog Isabella is in GREAT hands. She treats our dog like she’s her own, and really gives her so much love and attention. We will always use Maryann to walk/watch our dog.

About: I’ve taken care of my friend small and medium sized dogs when they are away for vacation and I always send them updates of how their pets are doing. Having to show the best experience of me being their dog sitter, they referred me to other friends of theirs to have me watch their pets while they are working or away. I’m currently working remotely F/T but can be available on my lunch breaks and on weekdays after 5 pm and weekends anytime of the day I have a spacious apartment with my 10 year old friendly Pomeranian who can keep your fur baby company. I make sure they are fed and walked as needed. I always like to keep the pet owner updated on their fur babies day to day activities so they have a peace of mind when they are taken care of.

Your pet will have plenty of room to settle in and feel comfortable in my home. I have a dedicated quiet space where your pet can relax and feel saft throughout their stay. My home is clean, organized and thoughtfully set up with pets in mind. I also have a small, friendly dog that enjoys socializing with other dogs. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during your pet's visit.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.

About: I’ve had my dog, Winston, for 10 year's. My family is usually busy, so when i’m home i make sure to walk him at least once a day. I’ve watched a few of my friends’ dogs and cats as well, and have walked multiple dogs from my neighborhood. I am a graduate student at MSU and I commute from Nutley, so I get home fairly earlier from class. The first thing I do when I get home is take my dog on a walk. I can crate dogs, take them out, feed them, play with them, show them love, and just spend some quality time with them! I always make sure to respect boundaries though and read their body signals when they need space.

About: I come from a family of veterinarians so I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t around animals or caring for them. I’ve been lucky to have an array of pets including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, squirrels, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles and exotic fish. I’m currently in medical school and trying to earn some extra cash. I’m busy during the day due to school, but can study anywhere in the evenings to house sit. I can walk, feed, and keep pet company. I’m used to following long instructions for care, such as, different times and types of medications or supplements that need to be given.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I focus on making every walk or visit fun, safe, and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and always give them the same love and patience I’d give my own. I’m also experienced with leash training and helping anxious dogs feel calm and cared for. With my remote job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care each day. I plan my walks and visits around my work hours to ensure reliability and punctuality. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I make sure every pet receives dependable care and attention. Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in my home, I make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and calm care I bring to every cat I look after. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 14, and over the years I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities, from independent cats to shy rescues who need time and gentleness to feel safe. I’ve personally taken in stray cats and helped them adjust into loving homes, so I understand how to read their cues, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their pace. I also have experience with senior cats and know the extra care, softness, and awareness they require. I take the time to learn each cat’s routine and comfort level, and I always approach them with patience and respect. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where they feel secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule with availability from 8am–2pm and again in the evenings from 5:30pm–8pm. This allows me to give pets consistent, attentive care without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and any specific needs, while paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and energy. I approach every pet with patience and adjust my care based on their personality, whether they want playtime, affection, or a calm presence. I also treat your home with respect and can provide regular updates and photos if that’s your preference, so you feel confident your pet is well cared for.

Natalia was absolutely wonderful with Vali! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, which made the whole process so easy for me. She took amazing care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks, and kept me updated the entire time with the sweetest photos and messages. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can really tell Natalia genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!

Julia is fantastic! I contacted her to walk my 10 month old puppy, Joy, as I am returning to work this week. We set up a meet and greet first which made me feel comfortable and gave me peace of mind. Julia showed up early for her scheduled walking time and spent an ample amount of time with Joy which I greatly appreciated. She took pictures on the walk and sent them to me while I was at work; this truly made my day and it was obvious that being with Julia made Joy’s day as well. Julia is a reliable, efficient, and caring dog walker with excellent communication skills. I am looking forward to working with her in the future!
