House Sitting in North Caldwell

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

“Elissa was a great sitter for our 13 week old pup. She took her time to meet and get comfortable with our puppy. She was in constant communication with us throughout the day and sent us pictures and updates on her behavior. We felt really comfortable leaving her in our house and everything was kept neat and tidy. We would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!”

“Maryna is a great sitter. She loves dogs and was so sweet to my dog Blossom. Blossom adores her and is so excited when she shows up. Maryna is also a very kind person and easy to deal with. She stays on task and devotes her time to the animal. She follows feeding directions and walking directions. I highly recommend her. Rena”

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and I am looking to spend my time studying and taking the MCAT. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

“Svetlana sent photos and texts and our pets were very well taken care of while we were away. We have two dogs with very different energy levels, routines and personalities, but she managed to juggle them both. Her communication pre dog sitting was excellent and she arrived early so she could meet our dogs and spend some time with them before we left the house. I am very happy with Svetlana as a dog sitter and we will definitely call her again. THANK YOU Svetlana”

“Gabby was a great sitter for our Maxey girl. Maxey is 3 months old so she is a lot of work right now and Gabby did a great job watching her for 3 nights! We came home to a happy pup :)”

About: Since before I was born my family has loved animals. Weve had beagles, pitbulls, english and american bulldogs, birds, cats, fish, hamsters, and even a rabbit. Growing up I loved being around my pets and learning about them. Whenever anyone has a question about their pet they always come to me because they know I have their pets best interest in mind. I am a student at Montclair state University and I am available Monday through Saturday to take care of any pets. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine ever since I could walk. Growing up there was always at least one animal in my house which fostered my love for animals. For the past six years I have been taking care of a rabbit and two birds so my animal knowledge goes beyond cats and dogs! In my home pets are treated equally to humans! All animals that cross my path will without a doubt be showered in love and affection.

“Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.”

“Cheryl was great for walking and sitting for our 2 standard poodles. Our younger one is more challenging but she was patient and eventually won him over. She was very professional and we were very comfortable in trusting her with our fur babies for a weeklong trip. Can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.

“Kayla was fantastic for watching my 2 pups and kitties while away. She was super receptive to their little quirks (including walking them outside on leashes in the yard during the rain because they think they’re sugar and going to melt, and would not go out!). I would definitely recommend using Kayla and plan on booking her again when she is available.”
