Dog Walking in Paterson

“Eilleen is AMAZING!!! Benji is our little rescue cutie! But he has days where he is a bit unpredictable- He is a cuddle bug on his own terms, can be moody and antisocial. As his "fun" aunt (I'm treat and playtime central haha) you would think he would jump for joy at the chance to take a walk with me but, that isn't the case :( He is very particular about who walks him and only let's his dad walk him. So on days dad is working overtime, I stress about how I will convince Benji to go outside. One Sunday he refused to go out they entire day, not one budge and just hid under the table. Dad was working and I was stressing! Well, Eilleen to the rescue! Upon arrival Benji greeted her at the door, like they were forever friends, hopping, tail wagging and cuddles! In amazement I watch Eilleen put kn his leash with out any hesitation from Benji and in a matter of minutes they were off on their walk together! I am so amazed by the instant connection they have and Eilleens impressive job of caring for him. We are so very thankful!! Thank you Eilleen!!!!!!! You are truly the BEST!!”

“Willery did an excellent job walking my 65 pound boxer named Deebo. She followed all care instructions throughly and communicated with me about his progress constantly. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“Enis is really great! Always happy to accept my bookings even the day before for my shaggy, who isn’t the best with strangers but is great with Enis couldn’t recommend more!”

“Morgan was fantastic with Kyrie. She walked her a few times this week and made sure to feed her afterwards. Morgan was super nice when we first met her and she took notes on how to care for Kyrie along with great questions she asked to make sure based on the weather. Detail oriented and reliable, thanks so much!!”

“Karen was a great dog walker. We had our initial meet and greet with her and she was very understanding with how our dogs were with new people. She was very patient and kind with them. I loved the updates with photos she put on their report card, I could see that they were being well taken care of. She would keep me updated when I needed to refill their doggy bags. My dogs quickly liked her and would patiently wait by the door for her to come. As an anxious dog mom, I was able to trust her completely. I would highly recommend Karen for any pet needs.”

About: Note: I cannot take your beloved doggie in my home, however I can accommodate with dog sitting at owners home, dog walking, and doggie exercise routines. I only board cats and birds. *I currently own no pets. *ALL animals that I watch are free to roam around my home as they like. *I have both COVID vaccinations and booster. *I only take immunized animals in my home. *No wild cats of any breed please. *No cats with issues using or learning how to use the litterbox. *I have a nursing assistant license so I’m aware of how to keep things sanitary (food items and wound care) I enjoy the outdoors. Im familiar with walking dogs in the heat and performing and adjusting exercise routines. I have experience with older dogs with end-life cancer and dogs just out of medical operation. I can administer oral medication and/or topical creams and apply sterile bandages. I can be tender and loving but also highly energetic and playful for your dog/cat. I have 2.5 years of experience caring for younger pitbulls and un-neutered and high energy terriers. It’s easy for me to tell when an animal is feeling nervous, scared, happy, tired etc. and therefore can adjust their days schedule with them. I grew up with 8 cats, my favorite being my orange/white tabby who lived for 18.5 years. She taught me all about cat mannerisms, likes and dislikes, what meows can mean, cat behavior, cat fears, when a cat is scared/happy/wanting something. Boots was my other kitty (a shorthair tuxedo) who had a huge personality and came from a background of neglect. Boots was my companion and best friend who would walk with me outside. I had a personal relationship with all my cats, the list would be too long for writing. With owners preference, I am able to groom, wash and maintain hygienic care for any dog or cat you have. I give every pet the chance to explore my home, social interaction, and a lot of ❤️ Indoor play is very easy for cats. I already have many cat toys and a scratch post or can use your preference of toys. I always give kitties something to scratch, a window to look out to, a perch to sit up on, and space to move around. Dogs have a lot more energy so I spend more time outside with them. Balls are always a big hit for dogs and cats. Bones, owner preferred treats, and baths (if your pet allows) are always a distraction and a time of play. I am big on communication so I update owners to pictures and texts however often they prefer. I’m a masters student with a child so I’m available part-time for in-home dog sitting, cat/bird boarding, cat/dog walking. I can do several weeks with in-home boarding schedules. My time is flexible but I prefer mornings and afternoons for one-time requests. I’m very familiar with making indoor and outdoor cats happy with toys, stimulation, bedding, clean food and toiletry. I keep my home clean at all times. I check for daily needs of kitty/doggie and provide freq updates. If I’m in my home or the clients home, I can clean up for your pet and make their space cozy and tidy.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and understand the importance of treating every animal like family. I have hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy level from high energy pups that need structured walks and playtime, to senior dogs who require a gentler approach.

About: My affinity for animals started at the ripe age of 5 years old! Throughout my childhood, my family had 2 cats and and 1 dog - and I helped attend to their every need! Present day, my family has a golden retriever who I regularly look after. Recently, I personally adopted a spunky little cat named Tiramisu (Misu for short). Over the past 20+ years I’ve cared for both cats and dogs - small and large, active and reserved alike! Prior to utilizing Rover, I've been pet sitting/dog walking for close family and friends since 2016 (on and off). I am currently a freelancer with an open and flexible schedule. I can also adjust my schedule if need be, with notice. I can shift things around to make time for pet drop ins and walks! In my client's homes, I care for their pet, as if they were my own. I ensure a pet has: 1. fresh food, water and/or treats 2. a clean environment (clean litter box/pee pads/accidents cleaned up) 3. entertainment (toys/tv or music background noise) 4. safety with any special gates/locks

About: I have two pitbulls at home and have always been around dogs and cats. I love animals and feel really connected to them. I treat them like they’re my own and can’t wait to be your pet sitter. We can work on flexibility, but you can always count on me to check in on and walk your pets! I’m usually available, but I’m a college student, so if anything conflicts with my classes, I’ll let you know beforehand so we can reschedule later on that day. I always make sure your pet is well and healthy before leaving, ensuring they have water and are set for the rest of the day. If your pet has any accidents, I’ll gladly clean it up for you. After every visit you’ll receive the rover card where you can see pictures of ur pets and we’ll always be in contact!

“Amazing and as always very communicative!”

About: In the past I have recognized the needs of my pet and responded to them. I always recognize when my pet doesn't want to play anymore and give him/her space.

I am obsessed with dogs and love to play with them. I don’t mind walking dogs at all. I love to spend time with dogs. I used to own an English bull mastiff she was very big and sadly passed from age. I don’t mind bathing dogs or being with them all day and night because I find them very relaxing and fun to be around.

I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.

About: I had many pets in my life and my love for animals grew stronger with the years. It encouraged me to pursue a life where I can be surrounded by pets. I first worked as a dog trainer for almost a year and now I'm a Certified Veterinary technician. I'm currently working part-time and looking for a side job where I get to do what I love most, playing with puppies and kittens! I'm available on weekends and some weekdays after 3pm. My house is not pet-safe but whenever I'm at a client's house I follow all house rules and try my best to complete tasks as requested. My knowledge in dog training makes dog walking an easy task, as long as your pup has some level of basic training.

About: I’ve taken care of many family and friends dogs as well as my own! My dog lives with my mom so trying to get more time with some furry friends! I’m normally available just depending what day/ time it is, sometimes my schedule changes a little but I definitely have a lot of free time !! I can sit in clients home and play and feed the dogs and just keep them company depending on what the client is looking for!
