“I had the pleasure of hiring Esther to provide walks for my two dogs. I could tell that she would be great just the way my dogs bonded with her right away. In fact, my Toby waited for her at the door every day and Riley spun around as he was so happy to see her. Esther was responsive (literally within minutes), thoughtful, and catered to my dogs’ needs. I would definitely hire her again 😍.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love dogs and have had them as part of my family ever since I was a kid. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide enjoyable, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and fun they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. I have a pretty flexible day job, which allows me to easily fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Because of that flexibility, I’m also available for pet sitting when needed and can provide reliable care and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I am very thorough and make sure each pet has everything they need, including food, water, exercise, comfort, and companionship. I pay close attention to their routines and individual needs, and I always aim to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. I would apply the same level of care, responsibility, and attentiveness to my client’s pets as I do with my own.
“Alyssa did such a great job with Sadie! She was so understanding with last minute requests. She gave our girl a good time and lots of cuddles. We would 100% book her again! Thank you Alyssa!”
About: I grew up with dogs all my life and have always had a deep love for them. My most recent dog, Rocky, passed away in 2022 after being raised in our household from a puppy. I was his primary caregiver during his senior years, providing him with the love, care, and attention he needed. As a senior and hospice dog, Rocky required additional care, including regular shots and medications. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentiveness when caring for older dogs and those with additional needs. Please reach out to me regarding availability, as the calendar does not allow me to detail my schedule as specifically as I would prefer. I am a trusted member of the dog-care community here in Cliffside Park, with experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and mobility levels. I am also VERY flexible with scheduling and committed to maintaining consistent schedules for my clients. Providing loving and attentive care according to each client’s guidelines, including feeding, medication administration, and any other special care needs. I also maintain clear communication with clients and promptly provide updates regarding any concerns or changes I notice.
About: I’ve taken care of my sweet senior dog for all of his nearly 18 years. I fully understand that seniors need a little extra love and attention 🩵 I’ve also been the default dog and cat sitter for friends when they have needed it. I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed! My little guy passed recently, so I’m just here to give your fur babies some love while you are away 🩵 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible and can take breaks midday to walk and play. I’m available for boarding most work days and weekends. I live on a quiet street that is great for walks, and there is also an open yard for quick potty breaks. I have no other pets in the home and only take one client at a time, so your pets will have my full attention!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. To me, dogs are never “just pets”, they’re family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave a family member in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I also have two years of professional dog walking experience, which has helped me become confident with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very affectionate, dependable, and attentive, and I always take the time to understand what each dog needs to feel happy and secure. Whether that means going on long energetic walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them comfort and companionship, I’ll always care for them with kindness, patience, and love. I truly enjoy building a bond with every dog, and I treat them the same way I would want someone to treat my own. 🫶 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I have open availability and can adjust my schedule as needed. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, so I’m able to take on walks, drop-ins, or sitting whenever I’m needed. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all instructions carefully: feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, whether that means playtime, long walks, or just being there with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m very clean and respectful of the home as well, so I always leave things the way I found them. Most importantly, I pay close attention to how each pet is feeling and adjust my care based on their personality, whether they need a lot of energy and stimulation or a calm, gentle presence.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep love for animals combined with a calm, reliable, and intuitive approach to care. I specialize in both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, understanding the unique needs of each stage. Whether it’s crate training, potty schedules, or administering medications, I provide attentive, tailored support. I treat every dog like family—always ensuring they feel safe, loved, and understood. With a background in wellness and a natural sense of routine, I’m great at maintaining structure while giving plenty of affection and play. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or relaxed evening check-ins. I work remotely and have a flexible lifestyle, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. Your pup’s well-being becomes my top priority, and I love creating a rhythm that keeps them happy, healthy, and at ease. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top prioritie- whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine. I always take time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, so I can create a stress-free, familiar environment. In your home, I maintain your pet’s usual schedule and surroundings to help them feel secure. In my home, pets are treated like family with a clean, calm space that’s both cozy and supervised. I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Gawon walking our two dogs! She was always on time, reliable, and so caring with both of them. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated her communication and the care she showed our pups. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
About: Started caring for cats at 15 then would board friends dogs while they travel and have even fostered dogs at risk of euthanasia and/or stray dogs traveling from Texas. I work full time m-f however am able to wfh as needed and always have enough time to cuddle and play with furry friends. Weekends are always free for outdoor play time or indoor snuggle sessions. I am in a spacious apartment with a 3 year old cat and 9 year old dog. Both are friendly and love to nap all day. More than enough space to be separated if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgefield
Warm, friendly and responsive to my dog. My velcro dog, who hasn't been on a walk without me since her adoption in June immediately felt comfortable with Christina and was willing to go out without me. She came home happy and tired. Christina told me about the walk and used good judgment in choosing where to walk, when to encourage Muffin to walk further and when Muffin really wanted to go home. I've hired her again.
Nicole is an absolute angel. I could not have met a kinder person. Benji took to her immediately and did wonderfully on his first walk. She made sure to even refill his water while I was out and played with him for a little. As a new dog mom, she really eased my anxiety with my new pup and I will absolutely be booking her again!
Francine has such a wonderful rapport with Roxy. We hadn’t needed a walker for Roxy but we all missed seeing Francine. When she arrived, Roxy was so excited. Francine is the epitome of dog walkers: charming, gentle, dependable, and trustworthy. Everything you Joe for.
Mark Joshua went above and beyond with his walk for Heinz this weekend. We needed someone to just make sure Heinz got to go potty while we were attending a wedding and Mark Joshua took Heinz on a walk for over a mile in the rain. We really appreciate Mark Joshua doing what was best for Heinz even when it was inconvenient for him. We will absolutely be booking with him again!
Jasmine was wonderful with Bobby! She was super communicative, arrived early, and was incredibly easy to work with. Bobby loved her, and she gave him a thorough walk. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was, and I would definitely book her again!
Melissa was very accommodating as we needed a last minute dog walker due to work schedule changes. She was patient, gentle, and understanding with my older maltipoo. She also provided detailed updates about my dogs walk! So glad to have found Melissa, highly recommend :)
