About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, and I’m very protective of my own girl, Niya. I know how hard it is to trust just anyone with your dog, so I treat every pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me. I work as a paraprofessional at a public school Monday- Friday 8-3 in Bergen county. I am available after work up to 9 pm to care for your pets. I have holidays and weekends off and am very flexible. Communication is key! Your pets needs are very important to me. I can do walks, play time, feeding and anything you may need you may ask and we will work something out.

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

Monica has done an amazing job with our 6-month old puppy, Bubba. He has a lot of energy and can sometimes be a handful but we know he is in good hands with Monica. She also takes incredible pictures of their walks/play and responds to any questions we have very quickly. In addition, she goes above and beyond to try and accommodate any last minute requests. We strongly recommend her!

Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.

Brianna is the best! She was super responsive from the moment of inquiry to setting up a meet and greet and throughout the entire experience. I felt confident and comfortable being hundreds of miles away that my babes were well taken care of, even with their little quirks. Brianna will be the first I call when I need someone to care for them!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.

About: Get $20 off your first booking with me using the code ZULEYI39503 Here’s what you should know before booking with me: -I’ve been on this app since May 2023 -I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, and I love them. They're one of my favorite animals, and I always treat them with patience and gentleness. - I can let you know how many pets I’m currently looking after if you’d like. - I usually reply pretty quickly, so feel free to reach out anytime! - I’m all about spending quality time with your pet. Whether it’s backyard playtime, walks around the neighborhood, or visits to the park, let me know what your pet loves most! - Crates are only used if requested by the pet owner. - I pay close attention to whether it makes sense to separate pets, and we can chat about this when you book. - I’ve got 4 years’ experience caring for cats. - I’ve given injections to dogs before, and if there’s anything specific I need to know for other pets, I’m happy to learn! - Need pet pickup or drop-off? I might be able to help depending on how far you are, and we’ll work out the details together. - I don’t offer grooming services. -Pet bath is not free. Before we book, just a heads-up that I’ll need a photo showing your pet’s up-to-date shots (including rabies). Can't wait to meet your pet! Since I’m around for most of the day at home, I can make sure they’re well taken care of, entertained, and feeling loved while you’re away. At my place or at the owner’s house, I always make sure to give pets the love and care they deserve by providing them with food, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I also make it a point to follow their instructions on feeding, giving medication, and tending to any special needs. I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, and caring for them is truly my passion. My own dogs had puppies, and I raised and trained them until they were ready to go to loving homes. I treat every pet like family, giving them patience, kindness, and plenty of love! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! As an online student, my schedule is flexible and allows me plenty of time for pet care. Since I’m home most of the day, I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, making sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness mean everything to me. Whether in my home or yours, I create a cozy, loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. I follow routines closely, give plenty of affection, and treat every pet like family!

Enis is awesome. He was amazing checking in on our cat. Stayed and played with her for the time booked and she was purring the entire time in the videos he sent us. Also provided pictures. He was also very patient with some hiccups getting into our home. We would definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone with a pet. You can tell he is a true pet lover too.

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. Over the past six years, I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, and providing general care and attention to my own dog. These last few years I’ve also pet sat for my family members and friends, taking care of their dogs and cats. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and ensuring that they feel well taken care of and loved! I am currently a student at Iowa State University, but everyday I have breaks or long stretches of time where I can drop in on and take care of your pets! I always ensure that I go over with any rules/boundaries with clients and to ask about any additional care towards the pet (like administering medicine). I like to know whatever works best for you and your pets!

About: You can call me Dani 🐾 I have a pretty wide resume working with animals of all sizes, ages, temperament, and breeds. This includes 6+ years experience in handling aggessive, energetic, senior and adolescent dogs in a boarding/training setting as a dog behaviour care technician. Simultaneously I've worked as a vet tech for 8+ years total. I'm a part time biology student studying animal behavior while also pursuing a certification in dog training. My passion to work with animals and animal lovers has been consistent my entire life, and giving the proper care to pets and pet parents has always been a number one priority to me. PS. I am more than willing to negotiate pricing, especially for bundled walks or repeat clients. None of my rates are set in stone! Feel free to reach out to discuss. I have a very sweet and social 15lb Maltipoo at home and 4 incredibly friendly and social cats, along with a western hognose snake and a beardie. Currently I am a full time surgery technician at my animal hospital. My work schedule is very flexible most days, the latest I am home is 7pm if not by late afternoon. Otherwise in my free time I do tend to hike often, so I'm more than happy to bring your K9 family members along too. I am able to board dogs under 20lbs that are dog/cat friendly! However in your home I want to ensure your fur babies have exactly the same routine as if you were home with them.

We hired Genesis to take care of my elderly mother’s cat who is also elderly and relies on Thyroid Meds. My mom really wanted to go away but was reluctant to leave her cat as the cats brother had died in June and both Mom and Cat where grieving. Genesis put my mom at ease and sent regular pictures. We really appreciated it. Would definitely hire her again.
