Dog Sitting Montclair

About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication. I just recently graduated cosmetology school so I’m taking time off in the mean time to explore other areas. I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them

“We had an amazing experience! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Georgia, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Georgia was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely trust her with Georgia again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of my Georgia! She always made sure Georgia was busy playing, getting lots of pets and love, so she wouldn’t miss us too much while we were away. Everything was clean and organized when we came back. We really appreciate all the care she gave Georgia. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again! 🐾❤️”

“Camila was great! We reached out last minute to set up a drop in visit for our golden retriever, Carson, and she was super quick to respond and set up a quick meet and greet later that same day. She took great care of our Carson, provided updates and pictures during their walk. We will definitely reach out to Camila next time we need a sitter!”

“Cathy took wonderful care of my cat, Sky, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Sky made a great connection with her and was incredibly affectionate, which says so much about the care and warmth she provides. She truly went above and beyond, giving Sky extra love and attention and making sure he felt comfortable and happy at all times. Cathy was kind, helpful, supportive, and very proactive, always keeping me updated and anticipating anything Sky might need. She was also extremely responsive and easy to reach, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely trust Cathy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. If Sky could type, he’d probably give her 5 paws and a head boop 🐾😄”

About: Hi. My name is Jessi. I’m someone that loves animals and especially dogs. I have been living around animals since I was a small child. I love watching dogs and cats and just chilling and sending time with them. I know just about all the ins and out when it comes to pet sitting because I have had 3 dogs in my care. I also have had 3 cats in my care. Leaving your pets with me is one of the best decisions you can make. I’m also very easy going and easy to get along with. I’m sure you won’t regret putting your pet in my care. I understand that our pets are like our furry children and I know that I want my furry child to be well taken care of. I am currently working full time with every other Friday off. I get off work at 4:30pm and get home around 5pm. I and usually available during the whole evening I live in a pet friendly neighborhood so I can walk dogs around often. I also have a lot of space in my apartment so they can roll around and lounge as they please

“Melissa is fantastic. She provided updates and pictures with every visit, letting me know my cat was doing well and in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for years. I have my own dog and have also pet sat overnight for 3-8 days for family friends. I've also had cats and experience caring for those. I'm currently an undergraduate student in DC. I'm available most afternoons and evenings during the week, and very flexible on weekends. I can do overnight stays in the Northern VA area as well. I offer house sitting and drop‑in visits in your home to keep your pet comfortable in their normal environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, and play. I take home safety seriously, keeping doors and gates secure, supervising outdoor time, and treating your space with the same care as my own. Before any stay, I review your written instructions and ask questions, then send regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is John Paul (JP) for short. I turned 18 a couple months ago and I’m available for pet sitting! I have been doing pet sitting for about 6 years now and I love it. I’ve had 3 dogs, 2 cats, and over 5 baby parrots I’ve raised on own when I was younger and I like to think I had/have a very good relationship with them. I love all sorts of animals and love getting to spend time and interact with them. We’ll because I’m still in school, I stay at home with my parents but I have 2 cats that I feed, clean litter boxes, and spend time and play with daily. In my clients home I would obviously respect their space and not let the pets in anywhere they cannot go. If they have a fenced backyard and allow it, I would let them out and play with them. If they have a cat I would try my best to just spend time with them and play if they want to!

About: My experience in pet care began at 15 years old when I took some neighbors dogs for walks. The types of dogs I walked were a greyhound, a collie and an Australian shepherd. My next petcare job was the summer after my junior in college when I cat sat a persian named Mimi for a professor who went on a long vacation. Mimi was sad when her owner left, but I gave her lots of love, and we formed a strong bond. The summer after I pet sat a great dane and an american bulldog, and they were big teddy bears and lap dogs. Sometimes they would even sleep at my feet at night. Years later towards the winter of 2014, I pet sat for a client later turned friend who travelled 3 months to Antartica for his job. His furry companions were a black named Fred and a golden named Ginger: both of them what I called the sweetest dogs in the world. I did everything there is to pet sitting and even took them to the vet for a regular check-up and the groomers. It was around this time I lost my main job I had and was very distraught. They sensed this and they did things like come upstairs to check on me to see if I was ok, sit on my lap and watch tv with me, shower me with lots of doggie kisses, sleep by my side or by my feet in bed etc. I joined Rover in late 2018, and I had a handful of families that made me their designated pet sitter because of the quality care and love I give. Their pets actually got sad (and so did I) when I had to leave after their owners returned, but were enthusiastic when I arrived to care for them again. During 2019-early 2023, I worked for a pet care company called Becky's Pet Care where I cared for a plethora of animals such as dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and chickens. However, due to their failure of maintaining health and safety standards of employees, I decided to branch out on my own and rejoin Rover. I have several clients and hope to get a few more clients because caring for animals is extremely rewarding. They are my best friends. NOTE ABOUT MY RATES: -For doggie walks and drop in visits my rates are $15 for a 20 minute visit, $25 for a 30, $35 for a 45 and $50 for an hour and beyond. I also offer in-home pet sitting, and my rates are on my profile. I will stay with your animals for the majority of the day and only leave if I have other dog walks/drop in visits, to do the trivia shows I host Wednesdays, or to drive for Uber and Lyft for a few hours on the days I don't have my shows. -I do not charge extra for multiple pets when it comes to dog walks and drop in visits, however, I ask you be realistic on how long you think a timed visit will take. For example: feeding and walking two dogs, then feeding cats and scooping their litter boxes will take longer than 20 minutes. I do charge extra for additional pets when it comes to staying over, but it's only $10 for each additional dog and $5 for each additional cat. If you have multiple animals where it's something like one dog and two cats, then I will $50 for the dog and $5 for each cat. -I DO NOT charge extra if your fur baby is...well...a puppy. Lol. Puppies are a riot: full of energy and lots of love. I know some pet care professionals do, but I don't. -I DO NOT charge extra if your dog has special needs. Guess what? I do too!! I have tremendous anxiety sometimes and have to exercise. Other people might charge extra, but I don't. -I sometimes request to be paid half up front if its an EXREMELY long pet sitting request. You can simply leave a check or cash on a table for me when I arrive to start pet sitting for you. With that said, I send lots of photos, videos and texts through the WhatsApp or through text, even without a request, so you know your furbabies are well taken care of. I'm currently working for myself and can easily fit taking excellent care of your furbabies into my schedule. In fact, I may be working for myself for a while. I drive for Uber and Lyft. I will take care of your furbabies like the cuddly precious angels they are. I will only give them food and treats you approve. I will make sure they get proper exercise and will give them lots of love. I will also make sure there's no aggressive rough housing if you have more than one dog. Or even cat.
