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!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my 2 cats in Leticia’s care. Very reliable and consistent with timing. I received daily updates including photos. I highly recommend Leticia for your pet sitting needs.”

“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.

“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!
“Hansa was so lovely and will definitely have her take care of my cat again! She was amenable when I had a sudden change in plans. My cat loved her. She brought toys for her and gave me really helpful advice as a relatively new cat parent!”

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.

Lara is the best! She truly cares about my cat Millie’s wellbeing, comfort, and happiness while I’m away. I always receive the cutest videos and detailed updates during each visit, which gives me so much peace of mind. Lara is reliable, timely, and goes the extra mile to make sure Millie feels loved and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

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.
