House Sitting Ridgewood

“Before we left our dog for vacation, my partner and I were worried as he has a bit of anxiety and can be high energy at times. We also communicated with Mary that he had a bit of GI upset and that he would need to be on a special diet and medication while we were away. Mary did a great job at keeping us updated with daily pictures and videos, and was quick to respond if we had questions regarding Otto’s behavior and comfort. This was the first time that we’ve left him with someone else for a longer period of time, and we were at ease knowing that he was well taken care of. When we got home, Otto was relaxed and ready for bed upon our late return. Our house was spotless and she also took out the trash and stripped the bedsheets from our spare bedroom. Thank you for keeping our space clean and tidy and leaving us notes and a cute drawing of our boy! We appreciate your kindness and care for animals and we’re looking forward to working with you again in the near future.”

“Shawn was great with Rosi! She is an anxious velcro dog, and I was nervous to leave her overnight so soon after adopting her. She seemed calm and happy with Shawn, and he sent updates with photos to give us peace of mind. He also helped her with medication and an altered diet due to some tummy troubles she’d been having prior to us leaving her.”

“Louisa was excellent! She was so thorough in our meet and greet making sure she was aware of any and all needs Ollie might have. Ollie loved her right away which made me feel very comfortable. Louisa was great at communicating and sent pictures during the sit which I appreciated. Highly recommend her and will certainly have her care for Ollie in the future!”

“It was so nice knowing that Autumn was with Greyson while I was away. She took care of things and was thoughtful in sending pictures of Greyson. He appeared to be acting normal and not hiding away like I thought he might. So glad to have Autumn’s care.”

About: I am a Pre-Veterinary Medicine and bioscience student with about 1 year of experience handling animals. I currently work at a local dog daycare and boarding facility where I specialize in canine body language/behavior management and special needs care. Additionally I completed a 5th month mentorship of clinical veterinary experience where I saw medical routines and gained experience in patient handling in higher stress environments Because I balance college courses and a part-time job, my weekly routine is very consistent and easy to plan around for your pups! On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am completely free anytime after 11:30 AM for walks and midday drop-ins. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am always available after 6:00 PM, and I have a dedicated midday break perfect for quick potty runs or administering medications. I am widely available for weekday overnight house sitting, and I frequently open up my weekends as well! I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s environment as stress free as possible. I will follow your established schedule of feeding, walking, and bedtime to maintain your pet’s sense of normalcy even with the change environment. I will monitor their behavior and health and be sure to keep you updated with frequent pictures so both you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I will also provide plenty of playtime, companionship, and of course couch cuddles! I will additionally make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs! Small or Big not a worry! I love being outside on a long walk but also don’t mind snuggling on the couch if needed!:) I do work a full time job but it’s quite flexible with being able to leave for them to be let out quick if needed! I’m free most days after 4pm and don’t start until 9am most days! I’m the kind of person to act like your dog is my dog! Only the best for your pets because I get it you want the best for them!:) I love to play and give scratches but I’m also willing to cuddle like I said !

“This was Morgan's 2nd stay with our doggos - this time for a longer duration. Our dogs were well cared for and the house was clean. She even went above and beyond and did some shoveling! We're so grateful to have someone reliable and good with dogs to leave our babies with when we can't be the with them. Thank you, Morgan!”

“Vanessa was flexible and understanding with my schedule changes and was dedicated to caring for my fur baby! She sent pictures daily and was great about communicating, including when my kitty began to have some GI issues. Though it wasn't in the plan, she was able to find and administer medication successfully. I was glad to come home to a clean apartment and a contented fur baby. Vanessa has become my kitty's favorite person besides me. I definitely recommend her for your fur baby! :)”

About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since 2014. I'm a bit more expensive than other sitters because I spend so much time with your pet - no leaving them for hours on end! The only exception being if your dog stays over a work day. As a substitute teacher, I have passed an F.B.I background check and have a flexible schedule. I'm very casual about dogs in my home and love giving them attention and affection. I have a number of repeat clients and have cared for a variety of dogs. When I'm not at work, most of my time is spent with your dog. Demetral Dog Park is a 10 minute walk from my home. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you. During the school year, I generally work full-time Monday through Friday but summer, holiday breaks, and weekends I'm generally available. I enjoy dog company when I'm home! I live in a second floor apartment in a house. I do have a large, metal crate available if necessary but I'm happy to have your pupper simply relax on their bed or mine.

“Great to have Tina in our home! She was flexible and sent pics often. I had no qualms leaving for a month over two holidays with Tina in the house! I already left a tip for her from the girls!”

About: I’ve shared my life with animals for over a decade, and my heart truly belongs to dogs and cats. As a homeowner and a "dad" to three pets of my own, I understand that your animals aren't just pets—they’re family. Why Choose Me? -I’ve been with my own buddies for 10 years, navigating everything from post-op surgery care and complex medication schedules to senior "attitudes" and puppy smiles. -I am a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule and my own transportation, making it easy for me to drop in for walks or midday snuggles. - I treat every home with the same care I give my own. You can expect a clean space and frequent, proactive communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. -Whether your pet has a specific routine or a quirky habit, I follow instructions to the letter to ensure their comfort remains consistent. I know the peace of mind that comes with knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m here to provide that same comfort for you. Work mostly from home with one day in the office. Very flexible on needs and schedule! Up early and go to bed late, which makes my schedule open to accommodate the needs of our little fur friends. I respect your space, privacy, and needs to ensure your home is just the way you left it when you return. In my home, we keep a clean ship, organized, and make sure all fir buddies are rewarded with treats when good behaviors are exhibited. With instruction, can be mindful of any special needs for our fur friends. Their health and comfort matters too!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

About: Hi, I am Halle! I grew up with many dogs, including a Pug, Pomeranian, Wheaton Terrier, Golden Doodles, a Poodle, and Boston Terriers. I worked at a dog groomers and have experience pet sitting other breeds, including Labs, Alaskan Klee Kai, Great Pyrenees, Border Collies, and other mixed breeds. Because of this background, I am very comfortable with high energy puppies, large breeds, and senior dogs that need a slower pace on walks. If you choose to board your dog at my apartment, my routines include 30 minute walks, play time in a fenced in dog park (which is apart of my complex), feeding, and baths as needed. I am comfortable giving them medication as long as there are instructions (for example, oral medicine with instructions provided by a veterinarian). I highly prefer that your dog is potty trained and does not bark loudly, as I will not be at my apartment the entire time to watch them. Safety is my number one priority for myself, the dogs, and their caregivers, so proper communication will be required for Rover services. I’m currently available for walks in the morning and afternoons. If you board your dog at my apartment, I will take them on 3-4 walks per day. I am flexible right now and my schedule can change depending on the services you request. Walks- I can come to your house/apartment to take your dog on a walk. Client’s home pet sitting service- same applies^- I can come to your house/apartment to care for your pet’s needs. Boarding in my home- I request that your pet be dropped off at my apartment with food and food/water bowls, toys, leashes, and their crates if they need them. I maintain a clean, safe apartment and do not have my own pets. My apartment complex has a large fenced in dog park. I will regularly take your dog to this park for play time during their boarding. *Safety- there is no smoking or other dangerous activities in my home. Communication is my priority to ensure that your pet remains safe and healthy. I will provide periodic updates to confirm that they have been fed, walked, played with, etc during your service.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life as well! Between family dogs, coworkers' dogs, and dogs I get to pet on the street, I love them all! One day I hope to have a golden retriever of my own! I have a rotating schedule so I’ll have time to feed, walk, and hangout with your dogs mid week or weekend depending on the week! I live in a nice area with nice neighbors and with many places to take your pup for a walk or to a park to play fetch!
