Dog Sitting in Montclair

“Paula has a lot of experience and really knows how to handle things smartly, so I trust her. I’d feel totally comfortable leaving my beloved cat with her. I was lucky to find Paula on Rover, and from now on, she’ll always be the one I trust with my cat.”

“Laura did a great job and gave me real peace of mind when I was on vacation. We had very hot weather and I appreciated her letting me know that the house temperature was cool and they had plenty of water”

“Carmen was absolutely fantastic with our bully babies. She was very detailed in her report cards and took very good care of our dogs during their drop in visits. Lots of pictures. We’ve used a couple different sitters over the years but Carmen by far has been the best”

“Caitlin was super accommodating accepting my request 1 day before as I urgently needed a backup sitter for a drop in. We scheduled our meet up the same day the request was submitted, and once her and Harlem were acquainted, I felt comfortable enough to trust someone to do a drop in. Harlem can be high energy, but Caitlin took such good care of him. She followed my instructions and provided constant updates during her visit along with pictures. I would rebook with Caitlin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust their fur baby with. Harlem says thank you, Caitlin!! :)”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 18 years old, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I also have professional experience in pet grooming, having worked as both a bather and a dog groomer. This gives me an edge in handling pets gently and confidently, especially during bath time or when dealing with nervous or high-energy pets. Whether it’s daily care, grooming needs, or providing extra attention to puppies or senior pets, I bring patience, skill, and genuine love for animals to every job. I am currently working in a Pet Grooming as a dog groomer during the week. My availability is only on weekends but I am open for a conversation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and loved. I follow any instructions provided closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or special preferences—and I always take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace

“Marc has been great since he started checking in and walking the boys. Super nice and asks plenty of questions to make sure they’re well taken care of when he stops by. I highly recommend using Marc!”

About: I have two kitties of my own, but have experience with both dogs and cats, including giving extra medical attention to elderly pets. I grew up around animals and absolutely love being around all kinds of pets. Would love to help out with your fur babies! I work full time, but work from home two days a week (W/F) and am available most evenings and weekends. I am very communicative and responsive, and will do my best to accommodate your schedule and needs! If I am in your home, I will be respectful of your space and ensure everything is left clean and how it was upon arrival!

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following feeding and walking routines, and providing lots of affection. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow-paced walks, or just company on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and consistent care throughout the day. I'm available for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Since I'm home most of the time, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention and affection. My schedule makes it easy to accommodate pets with special routines or needs, and I’m happy to adjust my day to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs who love the company of new friends and help create a welcoming, social environment. I always monitor interactions to ensure everyone is getting along and feeling comfortable. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a break, I can provide crate accommodations upon request. I maintain a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel safe, happy, and cared for.

“This was truly the best experience. Jojo was very thorough with their communication. Everything was documented and detailed. Our minds were really put at ease from the beginning of booking. We even got a custom drawing of Dopey which we love and cherish! I trust Jojo completely to look after my pets and highly recommend them!”

About: People often call me a Disney princess because everywhere I go animals of all kinds are always appearing around me in nature! Lol 💗 I was a live-in pet sitter for almost 2 years while getting my Masters in Psychology. I cared for 2 Portuguese Water Dogs, a partially blind senior dog of 14 years and a very energetic puppy of 4 years, whose owner had to work at the shore during the week. It was a wonderful experience and brought me and the dogs much joy! I've also done shorter overnight pet sitting on and off for friends and family. When it comes to pets they always naturally gravitate towards me, Even when I'm not trying! Lol ☺️ I was told that I have a healing gift with animals and often they will start to fall asleep and relax in my arms when I pet them. I've also helped pets dealing with trauma and emotional anxiety and physical pain get relief when I'm able to spend extended time with them. I have a special affinity for senior dogs that are dealing with a lot of healthy issues and need extra compassion. I can administer medication, and prepare specific dietary needs for your pet, weather it's freshly prepared or requires specific instruction. I also provide light grooming, or washing if needed from outdoor activities, and apply needed creams. After I spend time with them they have either become very relaxed and or return to a childlike and become playful as if their youth has been renewed! ☺️ Pet owners are often surprised when even there most anxious or standoffish pets will come and sit in my lap, and play with me when they usually avoid most people. I love seeing animals happy it brings me joy! I am a creative artists, and entrepreneur who works from home. So I have a very flexible schedule that I can tailor your needs. This allows me to have the time to give your pet the extra attention that they needs! I am mainly interested in house sitting and dog walking especially during the holidays to provide pet sitting for families going on vacation and want their fur babies to maintain their the routine while they're gone. I also love plants so I have an excellent green thumb and will take care of your plants and bring them back to life if they needed a little extra love and care! 🌷☺️ I will follow any instructions that you provide with explicit detail, to care for your pets and plants and home, while you are away. I take much care to maintain a sense of normality for your fur babies while pet sitting, And will do what I can to give them a sense of routine, safety, and a peaceful and joyful environment. I can provide frequent updates and pictures as needed to give you peace of mind that all is well. ☺️
