Pet 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.

“Katie did an outstanding job taking care of our cats and our home. She communicated well and I was so confident our boys were in good hands! I am so impressed!”

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.

“Gracie went above and beyond for all of our animals! And I could see her on our cameras being super sweet and patient with them all! Definitely will be using her in the future!”

“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”

“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.”

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.

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

About: I truly believe pets become very lonely when left at home. Animals need fresh air and lots of love and play time. I currently have two very loving, playful 2 year old Bichons, and I love them dearly. I would be overjoyed to get paid for playing/walking/tending to your pet while you are away (: thank you so much for considering me! I’m currently working part-time on, but I have a free and flexible schedule for your pet needs on Thursdays and Fridays, along with the weekends. I can be as flexible as needed because I know every pet differs. I have two fur babies at home and will soon have a fence. I am able to crate your animal at night if I’m providing pet sitter services, and I’m also able to provide updates as frequently as you would like. I love to be active and be outside, so walks are no problem either.

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.”

About: I currently work at a Vet Clinic, I have had animal shelter experience since I was little because of my mom, she was an Owner/Manager for Second Chance Pet Rescue in Grove Oklahoma. 💞 For jobs I have had a year of vet care experience, working in Animal Shelters, and I always make tons of trips to go down to Grove Oklahoma to donate and volunteer. 🐾 My life runs off of being surrounded by animals. ✨ When I watch your fur-baby(s) I make sure I send daily photos and information so everything runs smoothly. 🎉 I’m currently trying to start doing Rover for Full time, 🐾pets have a special place in my heart and my heart always comes back to spending time with them. 💓 In my free time I’m watching clients dogs or I am at home with my own 3 dogs, walking, playing, training the new puppy or cleaning. 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.

“Kylie has taken care of our fur kids when needed. She walks and plays ball with them. She treats them like they are hers. They both adore her. We appreciate how well she takes care of them.”

About: Dog owner and lover for over 30 years. I’m the missing connection to what your baby is needing. I’m outgoing and ready for what the day may bring. I work from home and don’t work in the summers. My friends and family consider me the dog whisper and someone you can trust. Thanks I have a great wood fence with large outside clean kennel and large inside house area. I also have a Border Collie who loves animals.

About: Taken care of dogs for over five years. Watch neighbors and friends dogs routinely. Live around the corner from Grandview pet hospital for even more peace of mind. I work full time remotely so I’m always home. Bathroom breaks and walks will never be an issue. I am literally home 95% of the time. The other five percent is locally around KC to see family. Big back yard and have an extra room for pets including toys and mattress etc. My dog is my son without tax breaks so he sleeps in the bed with me mostly. I don’t mind if dogs are on furniture etc. If this is against your home rules, I have no problem keeping them off if needed. Food, walks, naps, play time and repeat.
