Dog Sitting Montclair

About: I am a Pawsome Companion! I have been around pets most of my life, and I've been caring for cats and dogs for the last 15 years. I am very comfortable with either, and most comment about how comfortable their pets seem when they first meet me. I give them all lots of attention, belly or chin rubs (whatever they like best), and treats when Mom or Dad says that's ok. I'm new to Rover, but not new to treating your furbaby exactly how I'd treat mine - with love and care! Right now I'm doing pet care and sitting for both cats and dogs, and I'm available most days when I'm not caring for other pets already. I'm very responsive, and responsible, and looking forward to meeting and loving your precious ones. I'm ready to be a "Pawsome Companion" to your pet. Your pets are your family, but you can't always be with them or take them with you, so, I provide loving pet sitting for cats and dogs, dog walking, medicine administration, cuddles, and more! I treat all of them (and your homes) as I'd want you to treat mine. with loving and responsible care.

“I booked Ruby very last minute and she was very accommodating and followed the instructions I left her to a T. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and responsive pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10 years old and have always been a huge animal lover! As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I also have a friendly pup of my own who would love a playmate if your dog enjoys being around other dogs! I work full time, but I am remote. I take care of my dog every day as I am working from home and I take him on walks around the neighborhood or to the local dog park. I also have a dog park in my building. I am in an apartment complex with a dog park. My building is a bark building. Very dog friendly and dog proofed my house for my own pet.

“My dogs became aggressive with each other Not Julie our awesome Rover person. After they separated she took all the proper measures and best practices - I was on a cruise - so I was unreachable -she called my emergency contact - she took one of the dogs to the Veterinary hospital to ensure all was well. - she kept in constant contact with my emergency contact a Nurse for over 10 years. - she called the next morning to ensure the dogs were ok and being well cared for. - SHE is amazing -”

About: I've always had animals in my life. I would care for cats and dogs while neighbors were away growing up. I've helped my friends and family while they're out of town. I've trained all my dogs growing up and taught them to walk respectfully on leash. I have also been a vet tech for 3 years and know how to care for animals beyond simple feeding and walking. My passion for animals has always driven me. I've helped treat very sick animals in the vet field. I know certain signs to look out for to ensure the pet is fully safe and happy and healthy. I take the comfort of all animals very seriously. I have experience with bathing, feeding, walking, and medicating animals per Doctor orders. Some special medical treatment such as administering topical, oral, and SubQ medications. I love that I am able to take this on as a full-time career. My schedule is 7am-4pm Monday through Friday. I have another job for the weekend hours. I am very respectful of my surroundings and other people's possessions. I make sure your pet is comfortable with me. I can place on a harness and remove if you don't like your pet sitting home with a harness on all day. I can crate your pup if you find it necessary as I leave. I can play music or leave a TV show on for your pet if you wish. I am here to serve you and your pets. I am currently doing walks full time so I'm happy and thankful to say I'm keeping busy helping make more pets happy throughout the day. My current available time slots are 10am and 10:30am. Thank you for your time and consideration. I can crate your pet if you find necessary. We can spend a few minutes after a walk with yard or indoor playtime if you like.

About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.

“Just wow - kristina is a TOP TIER cat sitter! One of my kittos was scared and wouldn’t come out - she was relentless in coaxing him out and has now throughly bonded with him. I’m so grateful! Her persistence and kitty know-how helped me feel so comfortable and sweet relief that my kitties were in good hands.”

“Nicole was an amazing pet sitter and extremely reliable throughout the three days she cared for my cats. She always arrived at the agreed time, stayed for the full 30-minute visit, and was very attentive to every detail. She carefully fed them and made sure their automatic litter box, water fountain, and feeder were all working properly. She also sent me plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing my cats were safe and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Nicole and would be very happy to book with her again!”

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

“Claudia was great! Communicated with me the entire tire and was very patient when we had issues with our remote door lock system. Would recommend and happily use her services again.”

“Gabrielle watched our four cats for a week and she is amazing! Gave meds to Willow on schedule, and the reclusive Pippin made a showing. Our home and all things relating to the cats was perfectly taken care of. Gabrielle has a kind and calm nature that made our four cats comfortable. Great communicator too! Highly recommend for pet sitting!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats for years as well as helping neighbors and friends while away. I have walked and fed dogs as well and love spending time with them. I’m currently working remotely which allows for flexibility during the day. I can be available for drop ins with ease and have the ability to travel. I will be very respectful and compassionate to your animals as i know how much they deserve it! my goal is to have the pets taken care of and comfortable.

About: As a dog dad and future medical doctor, I bring a unique blend of compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to pet care. My experience in healthcare has trained me to be observant, reliable, and adaptable, which are qualities that are essential when caring for pets. I understand the importance of trust and consistency, especially for senior pets or those with special needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy dogs, providing gentle care for older pets, or administering medications, I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a student currently applying to medical school, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adapt to fit your pet’s needs. My routine is structured yet flexible, ensuring that your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away! As a dog dad myself that has used Rover on numerous occasions, I know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain routines, and ensure plenty of exercise, play, and affection. With my healthcare background and attention to detail, I’m always mindful of a pet’s well-being, keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or distress. Your furry friend will be in responsible, loving hands—just like I’d want for my own dog.

About: I’ve had family pets since birth, growing up with 3 dogs, and caring for family + friend’s animals on the side. I’m a cat owner with an ex stray and senior cat who knows a lot about reactive pets, and can provide compassionate care for animals of all emotional experiences. I worked with EASEL animal rescue in Ewing, NJ with their dog walking and cat adoption events. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, and have a car. I’m a college student with a car, *****and a flexible schedule. I have breaks in between classes I can drop in for walks, and on most days I can spend extended time with your fur baby!! I approach all animals with a genuine curiosity. W/ your help I get to know your animal well and will learn quickly what treats, food + handling style they love. I carry extra treats on me and make sure to win your pet over, and keep them company while you’re away. ** I’m an extremely neat person as well, I will leave your home cleaner than I found it!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. My sister is also a professional dog groomer, so you could say that a love and understanding of pets runs in the family! What sets my care apart is that I offer a personal, boutique-style experience rather than a one-size-fits-all stay. I intentionally keep my boarding environment small so I can give each pet genuine individual attention and learn what makes them comfortable—from their routines and feeding schedule to their favorite toys, sleeping habits, personality, and little quirks. I’m also very comfortable following detailed pet-care instructions. Whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding routine, extra walks, crate time, or simply a little more patience and reassurance, I take those instructions seriously and make them part of their normal routine. At the same time, my approach is calm, loving, and laid-back—I want your pet to feel like they’re staying with someone they know and trust, not being placed in a stressful or overcrowded environment. My goal is for you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pet with me as they feel staying with me. I treat every fur baby as an individual and give them the attention, affection, structure, and supervision they need to have a safe and genuinely enjoyable stay. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m happy to accommodate a variety of boarding and care needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m able to make most schedules work. To provide each guest with the personalized attention they deserve, I can host up to three dogs at a time, though I typically care for just one fur baby at a time to ensure a calm, comfortable, and stress-free experience. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home has a secure, gated courtyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and exercise in a controlled environment. I always check that gates and entry points are securely closed and remain attentive while pets are outside. I also keep potentially harmful foods, medications, cleaning products, and other hazards safely out of reach. Before each stay, I take the time to learn your pet’s individual needs, routines, temperament, and any behaviors or concerns that could affect their safety. I’m careful during arrivals, departures, and transitions to prevent accidental escapes, and I use leashes or additional barriers whenever appropriate. Pets are never left outside unattended. I’m fully bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s fur baby seriously. My goal is to provide a clean, calm, secure, and loving home where your pet can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and sizes. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, and companionship. I’ll treat your pets like they are my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am a school teacher so most of my days end by 3:30pm and would have all afternoon to spend with your pets! I am flexible on weekends and willing to work with your schedules. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and crate time if needed. I’ll provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment and make sure your fur baby gets plenty of attention, care, and cuddles while you’re away.
