Cat Sitting in Passaic

About: We have had animals in and out since I was a kid! I grew up on a farm, and I’ve spent years volunteering through shelters. I also have experience working at a boarding kennel! We foster animals for a rescue as well, so have ample experience meeting pets’ needs! We are also a military household. I work part time, so I am home a majority of the week to care for them! They’ll never be left alone for long periods We have a big yard with tethers for the dogs to run and play. We have a separate room if they need somewhere to de-stress & a kennel if needed. We have older dogs that are very friendly & comforting. We go on regular walks through the neighborhood & have plenty of toys as well.

About: ​Hi, I’m Danielle! Whether your pet is a high-energy athlete or a professional couch potato, they’ll find a perfect match in me. With experience ranging from the playfulness of kittens and puppies to the gentle, specific needs of senior pets, I pride myself on providing nurturing care tailored to your pet's unique personality. I’m highly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that feeding schedules, medications, and house rules are followed to the letter. Most importantly, I treat every pet with integrity and love, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. I have a very flexible job, so pet care is easily worked into my schedule. I enjoy staying busy and spending time with pets, so its a win-win situation! I put a huge emphasis on making sure that pets are comfortable with me. I get to know their unique personalities and individually care for them based on their needs. As a pet parent myself, safety is my top priority, and I pay great attention to detail specifically in that matter.

“We used Gracie for drop in visits while we were out of town. Gracie took care of our babies so well! She won them over from barking at her when she first came, to them being excited to see her and let her sit and pet and them. She was very punctual on the times we chose for drop ins and she sent such sweet pictures of them and gave wonderful descriptions of her visits.”

“Kaylee was great!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I was away for 2 weeks, getting them plenty of play time and sending pictures of them every morning with little write ups of their moods and activities. She also went above and beyond when obstacles arose with their food supply and my changed schedule. It was a huge relief knowing my cats were being well cared for by someone that clearly loves animals. She’ll be their go-to sitter from now on”

About: Hi! I’m Mikaila, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including reactive, anxious, and high-energy dogs. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a professional dog trainer, so I bring a deeper understanding of behavior, structure, and safety into every visit. Whether your dog needs a simple potty break, a walk, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and secure. I have experience with feeding routines, administering medications, handling multiple dogs, and maintaining a calm, structured environment. I’m also very comfortable with dogs that may be nervous, excitable, or require a little extra patience. You can expect clear communication, updates, and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, well-being, and happiness. I have a flexible schedule Tuesday through Saturday and am available for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits. I do work with private dog training clients, but my schedule is adjustable and I’m able to plan visits around them. I’m unavailable Sundays and Mondays, but I’m reliable and consistent during my available days. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in dog training, I’m very aware of body language, behavior, and how to handle dogs safely in different situations. I follow all instructions closely, maintain routines, and create a calm, structured environment during visits. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments, including nervous, reactive, or high-energy dogs, and I always prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and awareness of surroundings.

“Yvette was AWESOME with my two cats. She was thorough and did great giving my senior cat his medication even when he was being stubborn and spent the remaining time playing with the kitten and wearing her out.”

“We ALWAYS use Elizabeth to watch our animals and we are always impressed! She does a great job.”

About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

“Justin was great. Between the cats and the dogs and all the nuances of each pet, Justin managed it like a champ. Our cats were not very cooperative, you know, like cats can be. Justin provided us daily updates and pics. He was also super responsive to the many texts I kept sending. He was also kind enough to grab out mail/packages, too. I would definitely recommend Justin if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”

How I care for my pets in my home🐶, I am walking them in the mornings & at night time. I take them to the Lake in my town to swim, hike, walk, and play. We are always doing something with the pups, I believe they deserve to see the world like we do. I also just got a new puppy so I am working on training her myself.

About: I recently retired from being a Kennel Manager at a rescue for 4 years. I loved it so much! However it was my time to go. In the last four years I’ve handled puppies to seniors. All disabilities and assortments of care. I know how to handle and approach every type of dog and cat. I have only been bitten one time in 4 years and it was my fault. I’ve taken Obedience classes and even have minor grooming skills. I have had several liters of puppies in my time all very successful unless due to illness. I’m currently working part time and have lots of time to play with your fur babes! I’m a very active person and try to stay that way. Being able to walk your pet while I get my cardio on is a win win! I’m a huge animal lover with time to love on your fur babe. We use basic training with our pets and the word “No”. We believe in positive reinforcement and kennel training. Lots of training treats! Our dogs get to run the house freely they are all trained and my partner works from home. I would use whatever technique the owners use to stay consistent. I would never harm a dog in any manner.
