Dog Sitting Ridgefield

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. While I don’t currently own a dog, I regularly care for my cousin’s dog here in New Jersey — walking, feeding, and keeping him company. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! I currently work as a secretary from 12pm to 5pm on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings before noon and after 5pm on weekdays. I have more flexibility on weekends and can accommodate house sitting when needed! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Since I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m punctual, communicative, and will send regular photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your pup is happy and safe!

“Stephanie was wonderful with my Cooper; he loved her From the very beginning of the meet and greet - I know he could sense she’s a real animal lover. As far as we were concerned, she was professional and trustworthy. Came to the house on time and sent pictures of their little “play date”. Definitely a great find for pet owners”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs, so caring for them has always been part of my life. I’ve regularly pet-sat for family members, and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re on vacation. I know how much pets mean to their families and I’ll give your dog the care, attention, and love I’d want for my own I’m currently taking online, mostly asynchronous grad classes, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care Monday-Friday. My only scheduled class is Tuesdays from 4-5pm. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice, so I can plan ahead and give your pet plenty of time and attention! I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feedings, walks, potty breaks, and any special care, while making sure their pets get plenty of playtime and attention. I respect their home and send updates and photos so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: Hello there! Thank you for checking my profile. I basically grew up around dogs my whole life and individually owned (survived) a Siberian Husky for 15 years. Siberian Huskies are my favorites, so if you have a rebellious Husky, I got you 😉 I am an expert when it comes to animal behavior and can assure that I am able to anticipate their needs, and understand them deeply so your pets will, GUARANTEED, love me! Can’t find a trustworthy person to take care of your pets during holidays? I am ideal to book if you’re looking for somebody responsible, clean, and that can stay with your pets during long trips/vacations. A meet and greet is required prior to booking to ensure we are a good match. Feel free to text me if you have any questions! 🐾 We can negotiate regarding hours. Please feel free to inquire. If you are going away due to the holidays, I can stay for multiple weeks with your pet until you are back. I do not only provide great care, but also can read your dog body language and provide exactly what they need and when they need it. I am organized and LOVE a clean space, so if you like your place immaculate clean, we will get along GREATLY!

About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with furry friends and giving them the attention they deserve. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends, so I'm comfortable handling everything from small, energetic pups to larger breeds with different needs and personalities. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's routine—whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while you're away, and I make sure they get plenty of care and affection. I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walks in the Edgewater/Fort Lee, NJ area — weekday evenings after 6pm and all day on weekends. I’m currently working full time but I still try my best to spend as much time with pets as I can. I’m available anytime on weekends and after 6pm on weekdays. I live in a 2 bedroom condo with the cutest cat in the world — my British shorthair his name is Uni. He’s shy so we can only host quiet and gentle cats and dogs at mine so they can have their own spaces.

“Katherine was so sweet with Coco she played with her and was very responsible. She always answers fast and took good care of my pet. I’ll highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.

“Selina did a fantastic job with taking our girl for a walk! She was able to respond quickly and be flexible to our needs, and was communicative throughout the process. We will definitely use her again!”

“Alena was simply amazing with my cat Athena. She took care of her for over a week and always made sure she was happy and well cared for. After every drop-in, she would let me know how everything went, send me amazing pictures, and provide a detailed update. You can tell Alena truly loves animals. She’s caring, polite, and incredibly attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Alena to anyone looking for a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Alena!”

About: Hi! My name is Mark, and I'm currently a Master's student at Columbia University. I recently relocated to New York City and have been missing my cat, Zuko, and my dog, Jango, every day. I'm hoping to fill that pet-shaped void by caring for other people's furry family members through Rover! Dog Experience: I adopted my dog, Jango, about a year ago after fostering him through a local rescue organization. He was being fostered by my downstairs neighbor, and we formed an instant connection that quickly turned into a forever home. Like many young rescue dogs, Jango came with plenty of energy and a few mischievous habits—especially when it came to sniffing out unattended food (that's the Dachshund nose at work!). Since adopting him, I've invested countless hours into positive reinforcement training, consistency, and building good household manners. Friends and family have even commented on how much calmer and more well-behaved he's become. Because of that experience, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and prevention when caring for energetic dogs. I'm happy to reinforce the training and routines you're already using while providing your pup with plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Cat Experience: I adopted my cat, Zuko, when he was just 8 weeks old back in 2019 while I was in college. He's now a happy, healthy 6-year-old! As a first-time cat owner, I spent a lot of time researching feline nutrition, enrichment, and overall health to make sure he had the best care possible. Over the years, Zuko has had a few visits to the vet for urinary health concerns, so I've become familiar with recognizing early signs that something may be wrong and understand the importance of monitoring litter box habits. While he's now spoiled with an automatic litter box and feeder, I'm very comfortable caring for cats with traditional litter boxes, food and water bowls, and daily playtime and affection. I am currently a full-time Master's student at Columbia University on the Upper West Side, with classes Monday through Thursday. During the week, I'm available for evening walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting after classes, and I'm happy to spend the rest of the evening keeping your pet company. My schedule is much more flexible from Friday through Sunday, allowing me to provide multiple walks, extended drop-in visits, or house sitting with full-time presence. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I always strive to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. I pride myself on being adaptable. While I have extensive experience caring for my own pets, I've also looked after many friends' and family's cats and dogs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and that every owner has their own preferences for how their pet is cared for. I'm committed to following your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, or simply giving them the type of attention they enjoy most. Before each booking, I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and your expectations so we can ensure a smooth, stress-free transition while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and to give you complete peace of mind.

About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!

About: I am a reliable person. If I say i’m coming, I show up. I think animals tend to warm up to me quickly because i’m nurturing. I am a writer, so I am flexible with my work from anywhere during the day, except for the days i’m filming and on set. I have a cat myself at home, i have a 2nd bedroom so i can always use the guest room for your animal if they are not comfortable being around a cat.

About: I have loved every dog since the moment I saw one and am proud to be a dog mom since the age of 7! I am here to provide your fur baby with the utmost care and love❤️I have provided services for friends and neighbors that includes multiple walks, feeding, medicine administering, and hugs! I have grooming experience as well. I will provide updates frequently and am always available if you need to reach out! I am available mornings and early afternoons Monday - Fridays. Depending on the date, I am able to make myself available on the weekends. :) I live on a beautiful walkway on the Hudson River with an amazing and spacious park attached. It is the perfect pet haven with stunning city views! At home, we have a cozy dog bed, lots of toys, a fence, and plenty of snacks and water.

“This was my 1st time using Rover. Melodies had a meeting & greet with me to get to know my fur babies. She walked them and sent pics. They were very happy and Melodie is sooo sweet, patient kind & easy to work with. I will definitely use her again. I felt so comfortable while away due to all of her updates and pics. She made my time away from my babies so easy and I didn't worry once. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks Melodie :)”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I actually begged my parents to let me get a dog, promising them that I would be responsible and take great care of him—and I’ve kept that promise ever since! Taking care of my own dog has taught me how much patience, attention, and love pets need every day. I’ve taught my dog eight different tricks, and I love spending time training, playing, and going on walks with him. Whenever I’m at my grandma’s, I always make sure to walk and spend time with her dog too. More recently, I’ve started dog-sitting for friends, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a freelance dancer, so I have a flexible schedule and make my own hours. This allows me to make time in my day to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they are always in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special routines or rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from anything unsafe, and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. I want every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owner is away. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Always so kind and reliable. Thank you Imari!”

About: For the past three years, I’ve cared for dogs and puppies across every stage of life — tiny learners discovering the world, energetic adolescents building good habits, and sweet seniors who move at a gentler pace. I’m experienced in training support, reinforcing routines, and providing thoughtful senior care that honors each pet’s comfort, mobility, and dignity. One of my greatest abilities is earning genuine trust. I move with intention, speak softly, and let pets come to me on their own terms. My patience is exceptional — the kind that helps anxious, shy, or cautious animals feel safe enough to open their hearts. Whether I’m guiding a puppy through new skills or supporting an older dog through slow, tender moments, I show up with calm confidence and deep respect. I’ve always believed animals — like children — are some of the world’s greatest gifts. Their honesty, purity, and emotional intelligence inspire me every day. If I could rewrite my career, I’d be a veterinarian. But even as a project manager, my long‑term dream is to work in a field that protects animals and contributes to their preservation. Caring for your pet isn’t just a service to me — it’s a calling. I honor their individuality, their needs, and their spirit with warmth, consistency, and genuine love. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. I’m always attentive, present, and able to give pets consistent care, supervision, and guaranteed genuine connection. All I need is my laptop! From anywhere, I create a calm, structured environment whether I’m in my home or yours. I follow all routines exactly as given, keep doors secured, monitor pets closely, and maintain a clean, hazard‑free space. I’m attentive, gentle, and always present — especially since I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. Pets feel safe with me because I move slowly, respect boundaries, and build trust through consistency and patience. As a project manager, structure is very important to me

About: Hey there! My name is Halley, I'm 26 years old, and I've recently relocated to New Jersey from Seattle, where I’ve been working as a Rover petsitter and dog walker for several years. (Find me on trusted housesitters to see my other 20+ 5 star reviews!) I've got special experience with: - large dogs (leash aggressive) - elderly animals - administering medication (mostly to dogs, cats, and horses) - kittens & puppies - taking care of farm animals, especially chickens and horses! (: I’m currently working remotely, so I am flexible for mid day walking needs and especially free on weekends! My mornings and evenings are also wide open For in-home pet care, I like to make sure that we maintain as much of their usual routine as possible so they don't feel too anxious or sad about you being gone! We can do all kinds of fun outside or indoor playtime, and I love nothing more than being all piled on the couch reading a good book with a sweet pup or cat <3

I structure my schedule around walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, which allows me to be flexible and dependable for my clients. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings throughout the week, as well as weekends and holidays when needed. I’m able to give pets consistent attention and never feel rushed between visits. My goal is to provide reliable, on-time care that fits each pet’s normal routine. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. In clients’ homes, I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I keep doors secured, use leashes and harnesses properly, and always double-check gates and locks. I also send regular photo and message updates so owners feel connected and reassured. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both pets and homes, which is why many families trust me for ongoing care.
