Dog Sitting in Midland Park

“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”

“She is the best and most patient sitter I have ever met. She not only did a fantastic job she helped my Dino start to get over his anxiety! Work in progress as it’s a journey and she has the patience of a saint!”

“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”

“Leigh is amazing! She took excellent care of our two fur babies. Right off the bat on the first meet and greet, we got an excellent first impression. She was friendly and brought them homemade amazing treats! When our trip came, she was in constant contact with us and sent so many wonderful pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip with the knowledge that our pups were safe and cared for. Leigh is a rockstar.”

About: I really believe in meeting dogs' full physical and mental needs. I structure my walks to allow for maximum exercise as well as plenty of mental stimulation like sniffing/exploration. I have been keeping pets since I was little, including birds, fish, and dogs. I've watched friends' and family's dogs. Right now I have a 5-year old Golden Retriever/Poodle mix named Gatsby who I adventure with every day---we've been on countless hikes, walks, and swims. I'm a recent graduate on break with a ton of time to hang out with your dogs/cats and am based in the Glen Rock area. I am super gentle and affectionate with all dogs/cats (and animals in general). When at a client's house I make sure to respect the dog's environment and follow the owners' procedures

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, continued through college, and now I have a senior dog of my own; so I truly understand the patience and attentiveness older dogs need. Whether it’s a puppy or a senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I am currently home for the summer from college so I have a lot of flexibility. My daily/weekly routine will be very open to caring for your pets! When I care for pets through walks or drop-in visits, my priority is making them feel happy and comfortable. For walks, I follow your dog’s pace and routine, whether they prefer a brisk walk or a slow lap around the block. During drop ins, I make sure they get fresh water, food (if needed), playtime, and lots of affection. I follow any specific instructions you leave to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free.

About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or sitting at your home. However, some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, feel free to message me to explore, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that they can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, we are a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie and uncle who are both home full time — me as the primary caretaker, and my partner as a backup (if you’d like). It helps make coverage more reliable, and play time feel a lot more like family time for your pup (except no kids). We are not the types to be addicted to our phones because we believe in being present when spending time with fur friends. We also typically don’t take in too many so that we can provide more attention, and be available when you need us. It’s quality over quantity for us! :) Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, so don’t worry about that. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but my spouse and I are both currently home in NJ full-time. I believe in mutual respect, gentle care, and transparency, and would treat your pup the same way I would want mine to be cared for. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel comforted that they are safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.

About: I worked for Animal Loving Care (ALC) for 2 years when I lived in NYC. During that time, I walked dogs, I was a pet sitter and worked in the daycare department. The company wanted me to come back but I moved to New Jersey once I became a mom. It's a long commute for me to go every day taking public transportation to New York with a baby. I've been walking and taking care of dogs from external clients that I have and who ACCEPT ME TO GO WITH MY BABY. You can see photos on my profile. I'm a stay-at-home mom, fully dedicated to caring for and raising my 20-month-old baby. I also walk some of my clients' dogs and feed their pets when needed. We can make an appointment to meet and meet the dog before. I can stay at the clients house as many days as necessary, walk their dog as many times as necessary, feed him/her and play.

About: Hi! I’m Nicoletta — a lifelong animal lover with real, hands-on experience. I grew up in a house full of pets: three German Shepherds, a dachshund, a Jack Russell, a Shih Tzu, and a cat — so I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses my whole life. Walking, feeding, playing, and caring for them wasn’t just a chore — it was my favorite part of the day. These animals weren’t just pets; they were my best friends and part of the family. From high-energy pups to tiny lap dogs (and even the cat who thought he was a dog), I’ve learned how to connect with all kinds of personalities and temperaments. Whether your pet needs a relaxing walk, playtime, or just someone calm and reliable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. My Availability: I’m moving to Boston in September, so this summer I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m not juggling any major commitments right now, which means I can give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care — including last-minute walks or extended visits! How I Care for Pets in Your Home: When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to playtime and any special instructions you leave. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I’m all about making your pet feel relaxed and happy in their familiar space. I also keep you updated with photos, messages, and anything else you’d like to stay in the loop!

About: About a year ago, I lost my childhood dog, Chloe, who I had the honor to spend 16 beautiful years with. She was quite frankly the center of my world and I’m so grateful I got to care for her from puppyhood into her senior-years. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have also looked after dogs of family and friends, so I am experienced in caring for dogs of different sizes and ages, as well as more than one at a time. I enjoy spending time outside for play and walks, as well as snuggling indoors and playing with toys. I currently work a hybrid job full-time, so spend most of the week at home with ample time to spend with new furry friends. I look forward to meeting you :) I currently work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to be home most of the week. This allows me plenty of time to take breaks for play, feeding, walks, and anything else the pup might need. I care for every pet as I would my own. I understand the level of trust that is needed to allow someone to care for your own loved one(s), and I don’t take it lightly. Every pet’s needs are tended to with care and they are given lots of love and attention, with their safety and comfortability being my number one priority.

About: Chris is a local firefighter and EMT, and Ellen is a fourth grade teacher. Chris grew up with dogs and cats, while Ellen had cats and got her first dog when she was engaged to Chris. Currently we have a black lab pup named Whitley and two rescued cats, in addition to our two animal-loving human kiddos. Whitley is always looking for playmates! Chris has a rotating work schedule, and depending on your needs is very available certain days and nights. He would love to help you with your pet care needs as long as he is off-duty that day or days. We have a fenced in yard with a lot of space to run around. Inside we have a double crate - Whitley uses one side and the other side is currently available. They would be separated but close to each other. Whitley is generally out of the crate while we are home but can be kept in one gated room if needed. We are willing to adapt to your needs when caring for your pet.

About: I grew up with a dog (a Springer spaniel named Curly) and my family is dog obsessed. I regularly watch my sisters dog when she is out of town. I do the same for my parents! I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule. I work from my apartment and have very few meetings, and love to fill my free time with adorable pups! I always respect the owners home and possessions — I’m a quiet guest and mostly read or watch tv when I’m not walking or playing with the dog. The dog is always the number one priority and I adjust my schedule accordingly.

About: I've taken care of many dogs for over 20 years. I love all animals and have lots of love to give them. I have had many cats as pets over the years. I am currently only working part time so I have play with your pets and give them lots of love. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk. I have a cat so I cannot have animals at my home. But I would be happy to come to your house and take care of your pets at your house.

About: I absolutely love to hike and walk after work and on Saturdays. I would love to share my love of the outdoors with a dog who might not have the chance to be walked in the evenings or on a Saturdays. I am a loving Mother of 2 boys ages 18 and 21 and I own a Mini-Goldendoodle who has brought my family so much love. I am a very loving, caring and patient person who would like to share some spare time with a dog who could use some fresh air and great walks. I have cared for my dog for over 9 years and believe I have the experience necessary to be a great dog walker. I am looking for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings to walk and also available most Saturdays during the day. Sundays my boyfriend, my Goldendoodle and I hike all over the Hudson Valley if someone is interested in us taking their dog along.

“Pam took excellent care of our 14 year old maltipoo while we were away! Would highly recommend her.”

About: Our family dog, Rosie, a beautiful black toy poodle, passed when she was 16 and I was 21. I always took her on walks, fed her, and she slept with me. Ever since Rosie's passing, my family and I aren't ready for another dog, but I miss having one around. When a good friend of mine told me about Rover, I knew I would be the perfect candidate. I'm caring and gentle and every dog I sit will get the proper amount of attention. Dogs are like children, all they need is care and love! I'm currently working with my mom's company, Zoom Rides For Seniors. It a ride share service that focuses on caring for seniors and the disabled. We take seniors to their doctor appointments, the grocery store, wherever their hearts desire. I only do local rides and all of my rides don't take longer than 20 mins and then I come right back home. If I'm not home, Trish will be home since she's the owner and mostly in her office. I don't work after four either. I live in a five bedroom house, plenty of space for your fur baby to roam in. He or she can sleep in their crate in my brother's old room, which is down the hall from me. We do have a massive backyard that goes up on a hill, but we also have a closed deck where the fur baby can freely play and go to the bathroom in. I will probably be going outside on the deck each time as well to watch him or her.

“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of Coco. I will be contacting her again.”

Jackie F.

“Megan was wonderful! She was very attentive to our dog’s needs and sent thorough reports and lots of pictures! We would 100% trust her to watch our furbaby again! :)”

About: I take care of 5 aquatic turtles for a living, and volunteered at humane societies. I have a specific interest in parrots for years and am confident in detecting illnesses, or any behavioral issues. I maintain high sanitation when it comes to birds. I maintain aquariums regularly, if any water quality maintenance is needed I am open to if supplies are provided. I have some training in dog grooming if minor maintenance is needed (nails, face/paw cleaning, rear trim) and your dog tolerates grooming. My day job is 7-5, Monday to Friday, outside of that I am available for drop ins or weekend stays. I’m available afternoons and willing to do early morning animal prep on weekdays. I’m confident in animal handling if needed but will always do my best to reduce as much stress as possible and contact owner before hand. I can do consistent meal prep like chop for avians, and am confident administering medication. If stimulation toys need to be set up I will gladly provide anything to reduce their boredom both while I’m there and before I leave. I will always respect their boundaries first and never push. If your dog prefers walks in a certain place I’ll be happy to take them there! I will always put your pets happiness over convenience.

“Couldn’t have been happier. It was really great seeing pictures all the attention Madison gave our dogs, and seeing how excited they were to see her. So impressed.”
