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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.

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.

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

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.

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!

About: I have over 13 years of experience caring for dogs, having grown up with dogs in my home since I was 10 years old. I’m confident handling both small and large breeds, including dogs like Chihuahuas and Golden Doodles, and I’m comfortable with all energy levels. What sets me apart is that I truly care for every dog as if they were my own. I focus on building trust, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I’m also very attentive and patient, whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or just plenty of doggy cuddles. I am currently a part-time student and part-time worker, so my availability can vary at times. However, I always make sure to keep my schedule updated so pet parents know when I’m available and can plan with confidence. Right now, I am available weekdays after 4 PM, and I am available for boarding on weekends, where I can spend quality time with your pups, including playtime and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure dogs are taken out regularly for walks and bathroom breaks, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and playtime. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own dogs, making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for at all times.

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 have a Dalmatian (my cancer survivor!) and my French Bulldog! I have owned and walked furry friends for over 10+ years and i am currently a dog walker for friends, family members and neighbors. I am compassionate, responsible, reliable and thorough. I have my own form of transportation. Iphone with portable charger. My schedule is flexible and i also work on holidays! I have experience with dogs who pull and who are all different shapes, colors and sizes. I also train, do gland expressing, nail trimming and dog poop removal from yard all for separate charges! Please Contact me at any time regarding questions or specifics you have with your pet. Walks, play time, maybe teach some new tricks! I like to exhaust the pet, so their nap times are comfortable and they got all that pet energy out. I have doggy gates and constantly cleaned crates. Have puppy pads for bathroom if necessary. Also, always mopped and vacuumed! I do not feed anything to your pet unless you give it to me at booking.

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.
