Dog Sitting in Ridgewood

About: I have 10 years of experience in dog care, dog rescue, and animal shelters. I am fear free certified, dedicated to practicing positive reinforcement and force free protocols. I ran a petsitting business until last year when I adopted my own dogs. I specialize in dogs with reactivity, newly adopted dogs, fearful dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I am dedicated to continuing my education on dog behavior through seminars and webinars. I am recently out of corporate America and am looking to spend more time with dogs in my area. I am open to walking dogs and drop in visits for pets any time of day! I care for pets in their home and environment, where they are already the most comfortable. I am dedicated to safety, comfort and keeping everyone as happy as possible!

“Christina is the best!! So reliable and my puppy loves her!”

About: Hi! I’m Lindsay, a 19-year-old college student originally from New Jersey. Some things about me that I do on my free time is going on runs, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now currently have a tabby cat. I’ve frequently helped care for pets belonging to friends and relatives as well. I will always enjoy spending time with pets whether it be on a walk or just hanging out with them to keep company! I also have been caring for pets through a different app as well providing walks, sittings, drop ins, etc with a 5 star rating! The same love and attention I give to my pet will be the same for yours! I’m currently working part-time at Ben And Jerry’s. Usually Mondays, Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays. However, I work around my schedule as a pet-caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone’s care. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention that I give to my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always be my top priority, and I will make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way!

About: I’ve been lucky enough to have a dog or dogs almost all my life. I also love helping out neighbors & caring for their dogs. I work from home, for the most part, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which also helps to ease the minds of any anxious pups. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run around and hang out. My neighborhood is also pretty quiet for nice, safe walks.

“We had a great experience with Melinda caring for our cat Ramen during our vacation. She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and kept our home clean and tidy. She provided wonderful company for our cat, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog Sugar since I was 12 years old, feeding him, walking him, cleaning his crate, and now changing his diaper in his older age. I am very responsible and caring when looking after dogs. After Sugar broke his neck and needed surgery, I helped him eat and take his medicine, as well as holding him in my arms and comforting him. I now take care of two other dogs as well, Rocky and Sparky. When I’m home, I walk Rocky every morning, make sure the dogs are eating and drinking, give them cuddles, and play with them. Also, 2 years ago, I dog sat for two dogs, one of them being an older dog named Lucky that is blind, partially deaf, and diabetic. I made sure to follow all the instructions given on taking care of them and administered Lucky’s insulin shots daily. As I was dog sitting, Lucky had a serious health scare and needed to go to the vet. I was responsible for taking care of him throughout the process, getting in contact with family members, and ensuring that he got the care he needed to recover. Thankfully Lucky is ok, and his family is very grateful to me for the care I provided him while they were away. I am a college student in New Brunswick, so my availability varies on the weekdays, but I have open availability on the weekends. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am available after 5:30 PM. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am available after 3:30 PM I care for pets by following the instructions given to me by their owners and facilitating a caring and welcoming environment. The pets’ well-being is my top priority and I will ensure that they are properly taken care of.

About: Hello! I’m from Wyckoff, NJ but living in Knoxville for medical school! I love hiking and walking but will run if the dog needs so exercise. I enjoy all pets and I'm mostly available on weekends and weekdays. I’ve sat a variety of dogs including larger German Shepards to Teacup Poodles. I've just recently babysat a 4 year old dog while a couple vacationed in Maui, Hawaii. I'm comfortable with staying at your home or at my apartment. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I am always available for anything. I hope you will contact me if you wish to proceed. Thank you so much for reading this whole bio, hope to hear from you soon! All the best, Camille

“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”

“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”

About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾

I'm most comfortable caring for puppies, older dogs, and cats, and I'm open to just about anything. I have experience with handling everything from walks and feedings to basic training and medications. Let me know what you're looking for and I'd be happy to help! I live a very active lifestyle and would love some company! My schedule is flexible during the week and my weekends typically look like park runs and pup cups! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that would absolutely go for a pupdate! I have a crate and can separate if need be!
