House Sitting Montclair

About: I grew up on a farm in the midwest. We had all the animals. It was awesome. Now at 48 years old, healthy, tall and strong, I have owned lots of pets over the decades and have been pet sitting for longer than I can remember. I love animals more than people, and they all love me right back! I am in school online so my schedule is really open. Sunday morning for church is my only off day. I usually do my school work on Tuesday and Thursday but its very flexible. I am honest, respectable, Christian, reliable, experienced, trustworthy, and able bodied. I am an avid walker so this is a great fit. I also have a very calm demeanor that puts animals at ease.

“I am definitely one of Bonnie’s repeat customers and will continue to be. She is professional, caring, and always punctual. I really appreciate the photo updates she sends of my dog—they give me peace of mind and show how reliable she is.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, from taking care of puppies to walking 4 dogs at once. I’ve also owned and taken care of a cat and fish my whole life. I love animals of all breeds and species! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with their favorite toy, and snuggling with them. You can be sure that I will give them all the love they need while you’re away! I know how to administer oral medication, and how to disguise it if the pet is particular about taking medicine. I’m easy going and take instructions well. I’d like to make you feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands! I own a car, so transportation won’t be a problem. I’d love to come walk, play, and stay with your cherished pet!

“Kellar took great care of our pups (and house) while we were out of town! Kellar was great with updates and pictures, and was quick to check in when our old lady, Maggi, wasn’t eating (don’t worry, she was just holding out for the good stuff). Both pups were relaxed and happy when we got home - we would definitely ask Kellar to stay with Raffles and Maggi again!”

“Eldar was a wonderful housesitter and companion for my silly old pup. I came home from a week of vacation to a very happy and relaxed dog and a spotless and comfortable home. He was kind and responsive to questions and arrangements, and kept in touch with me about how he and the canine were getting on. I was very impressed and appreciative - what a gift it is to be on vacation with absolutely no worries or concerns! Bonus points also for his patience and grace during some unexpected house repairs. Eldar is great and I will absolutely use him again!”

About: I worked for a pet boarding and daycare so I’m optimistic I can provide the best care for your furry family members! My skills start with tending to pet clients needs, group play for daycare and for boarding, as well as individual play for special dogs. Feedings in am and pm as well as lunches for specific clients. Picking up and cleaning spills, fecal, and other messes. Dishes and laundry and overall tending to the cleanliness of the facility. I have faith if I can handle 60+ pets I can handle anything! I have four cats and one dog, so you can imagine I have my hands full. I clean our three litter boxes every day and feed both cats and dog twice. Once in the am and once in the pm. The cats do get some kibble in between the day as well. Take the dog out back to potty as frequently as needed. But we spend a lot of time outside so it’s not hard. I follow client instructions to ensure the comfort and care of their little fur family. I know it can be hard being apart from their owner so I always try to give them extra love to provide comfort and reassurance!

“I hired Zoe to do in house pet sitting. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my kids in her care. She gave me updates throughout the day. She let me know when she was going to be out of the house for errands and when she was back home. I got pictures everyday. Best part: the kids love her. Will be hiring her again in the future.”

“We are so grateful for Amirah! She stayed with our dogs, Maggie and Zara, for almost two weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. She treats our girls like they’re her own—she even brings them little gifts every time she visits, which is such a thoughtful touch (and the dogs absolutely love her for it!). What really stands out is how attentive she is to both of their needs. Amirah does separate walks to accommodate each of the girls, making sure they get exactly the kind of attention and exercise they need. We always feel completely at ease knowing our pups are in her hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely caring, look no further. Amirah is wonderful, and we’re so lucky to have found her! 🐾💛”

About: My love for dogs started at a young age, and what began as a simple passion quickly grew into a lifelong commitment to caring for, protecting, and loving animals. At just 15 years old, I started walking dogs and pet sitting, turning something I loved into an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of dogs and their families. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and needs. But my passion goes far beyond walks and pet sitting. Dog rescue holds a special place in my heart. I believe every dog deserves a safe home, a loving family, and a second chance at life, regardless of their past. I understand that dogs aren’t just pets; they’re family. That’s why I treat every dog in my care with patience, compassion, attention, and the same love I would give my own. Whether I’m providing daily walks, overnight sitting, companionship, or helping a rescue dog feel safe and loved, my goal is always to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Currently, I work full time at my 9-5 but I’m free weekends and after 5pm on week nights. As I grow a customer base I can always try to accommodate my clients requests to ensure I can meet their pooches needs. I typically like to start off caring for pets in their own environment first because that way they can get comfortable with me in their home. If they prefer to come into my home then I allow dogs to free roam in my house but they have to be comfortable meeting my friendly pitty Oddie first.

About: I've loved and cared for animals since a young age. I grew up with dogs and cats always in the family home and at times a turtle, bunny, ferret, snake, pet rat and birds. I have HUGE heart and experience with senior animals of my own. I have current experience as a volunteer at Upland Animal Shelter. I currently have an open schedule for daily visits, walks or a weekend away. I would love to help make your week easier for you and your pet(s). I'm available to house sit at a client's home, making a daily routine easier and safer in a familiar environment. I always check doors, gates and for hazards. My priority is your dog's safety and comfort. If I notice a limp, excessive panting, change in potty or a change in behavior you will be made aware.

“Kayla is fantastic and highly recommended. She was super responsive right away which was fantastic for a last minute request that I didn’t expect would actually happen- but it did! My goldendoodle and Belgian shepherd took a liking to her right away. She even mustered the courage to walk them even after I warned her they are high energy pullers and walking wasn’t necessary. Kayla is professional and friendly and highly recommended!”

“Molly really enjoyed Joseph. I could tell by her interactions with him on my return. I would definitely use him again.”

“We were away for a few days, and Consuelo took wonderful care of Buddy. She's reliable, responsible, and made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. Buddy was happy and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciate the great care and would definitely recommend them!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and had many family pets growing up. I have had experience caring for and walking dogs of various ages and temperaments. I can stay kind, patient, and conscientious every step of the way! I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt on the fly! Let me clear my mind and a bit of your to do list with a brisk or slow stroll with your four legged friend. I show respect to all species and will vow to take the safest and healthiest path each step of the way with your four legged family member. Open to suggestions and areas your pet may need extra attention or time on.

About: I come from a genuine position of wanting to understand how the animal is feeling and what is motivating their behavior. I have experience with cats and dogs from growing up with them and from pet sitting as a kid. I also worked at an animal sanctuary so I have experience with the animals such as pigs, chickens, ducks, and goats. I treat all animals with compassion and care. They are like children in that they each have unique personalities, and deserve autonomy, while at the same time needing to be cared for and protected. I am always learning about how to better communicate with animals and understand their needs. From watching videos to taking classes and reading books, I seek out new perspectives on animal behavior because it is an ever-changing field of study A couple years ago, when my dog started peeing in the house, punishment was not on my mind, I could see from her body language that she felt bad and wasn't doing it on purpose so I had her checked out and learned it was a medical problem not a behavioral one. This is the type of care I will bring to your pets. I'm currently working part-time with flexible hours so I'll be able to stop by multiple times or even stay with your pet for hours or days. I have a fenced yard and quiet neighbors. I am respectful of other people's homes, I leave things the way I find them and do my best to understand the unique needs, routines and personality of every animal.

About: I've cared for doggies of all ages all my life, both my own and for clients. I am comfortable with pups that require a bit more attention & have experience with administering meds, keeping food and water dishes clean & fresh, preparing specialty food and cleaning up any accidents. I am comfortable with giving baths, going for walks & frequent potty breaks. Getting to play and cuddle is always a plus! As I am looking for part-time work I currently have plenty of time for specialty pet care including play time, feeding, potty breaks, walks, or even baths. I have more experience with pets that are allowed free range of the house, but if needed I can safely crate the fur baby comfortably.

About: I had male husky growing up, fostered a female pit bull and rescued a 2 year old toy poodle. They have brought me so much joy through hikes, beach trips, and play dates with friends. I am excited to learn more about every pets unique personality especially through walking and playing time. Your pets will be in a safe and tidy environment with me. It would be extremely helpful to me if you can provide me with any information about your pet to allow them the most exciting and fun experience when they are with me. Hope to meet your furry friends very soon. I currently work hybrid and only go in person a few times a week. My days are flexible for house sitting, lots of long walks, potty breaks. I frequently accompany my neighbors and friends pets whenever they needed. Owners will leave me instructions for feeding, exercise and play time. For my poodle, we normally go on 3 walks a day, but now with the heat wave, she’s limited to two walks, early morning and evening. During the day, she’s kept busy with puzzle games and mental stimulation!

“Britney was amazing and took care of our dog and cat while we were away at our wedding. We had absolutely no worries for the 5 days we were away. I mean, how much more can you ask for? 100% would recommend and book again. Thanks, Britney!”

About: Growing up with dogs as beloved members of my family has instilled in me a profound love for animal care. I find genuine joy in tending to puppies, and I've been fortunate to extend my care to my last two doggy boys, accompanying them until the very end of their lives. My last dog, Oreo, was completely blind and deaf in his final years; I tried to make sure he was comfortable at all times. Currently enjoying retirement without any pets at home, I am thrilled to offer your dog full-time care. This includes enjoyable trail walks and a flexible schedule tailored to accommodate the unique preferences of your furry companions. In my retirement, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to tailor my time to meet the unique needs of your dog. Mornings would kick off with a breakfast for them, followed by a refreshing leg-stretching session. Afterward, it's back home for a cozy morning nap. As the afternoon rolls around, I'll take my furry companions out once more, ensuring they enjoy another invigorating walk before the sun sets. My home comes complete with a fully fenced yard, providing a secure haven for your dogs. Their safety is my utmost priority, and you can trust that they will be under constant and attentive care in this protected environment.

About: I am a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that pets are family (I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bird and tortoise!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m currently a student at Claremont Grad University where I’m getting my teaching credential. My classes are online so I have flexible evenings. My weekends are generally available as well. I am very attentive of the animals in my care. I always strive to ensure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away!
