Pet Sitting Ridgewood

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping pets company, and following specific instructions from pet parents. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your furry friend with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m currently a full-time student, but my class schedule leaves me with plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available in the mornings, between classes, and in the evenings, with especially flexible availability on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and sitting depending on the day and timing. I’m responsible about keeping my commitments and will always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated while caring for your pet. I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

“Erik was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly responsive, communicative, kind, and friendly from start to finish. My dog is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but he opened up to Erik almost immediately, which says a lot. Erik also accepted a last-minute booking during an insane heat wave and still showed up in 90-degree weather without hesitation. I truly appreciated his reliability and care. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again”

“Faith was a great sitter for our cat Molly. Faith came every morning to feed and play with her. She sent us photos every visit, which we loved! Faith was attentive, communicative and went above and beyond during her visits. We trust her and hope to work with her in future! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Adeline was great while I was away on a trip. She stopped in once daily to check in on my kitties. She was very prompt, responsive and thorough with communication and updates. She sent pictures and assured me daily on how the kitties were doing! I would definitely recommend and continue to book her as a sitter with my furry fam! Thanks Adeline 😊”

“Amber was so helpful watching my cat while I was out of town for the holidays! My boy is not very social but she did a great job of making sure he was okay and that everything was clean everyday!”

Mallory K.

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

Christina S.

“Ambur was so lovely and took great care of Banksy! Super great to communicate with and made me feel really at ease while I was out of town for Thanksgiving. I would give 10 stars if I could!”

About: I'm an animal welfare professional actively building toward a career in animal behavior and training, grounded in real-world shelter experience and a deep commitment to whole-animal care. My shelter background has given me hands-on experience with high-volume intake, humane handling of anxious and behaviorally complex animals, and close collaboration with medical, admissions, and volunteer teams. I work calmly under pressure and communicate clearly across all parts of an organization. Over the past year I've been going deeper into the areas I care most about: balanced training, behavior modification, play-based training, and socialization and neutralization work. I'm also drawn to the less-talked-about foundations of animal health, including nutrition, husbandry, and how they shape behavior. Training a personal service dog has been one of my most formative experiences, giving me an up-close look at how relationship, consistency, and technique intersect. Cats are just as central to my work as dogs, and honestly my own life. My first adopted cat came to me severely behaviorally challenged, and watching our relationship transform through the right nutrition, training, and species-appropriate enrichment has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had with any animal. It deepened my belief that understanding the feline mind is just as important as understanding canine behavior, and I'm passionate about helping people see cats differently. Not as low-maintenance or mysterious, but as complex, communicative animals who thrive when their needs are truly met. Something I feel strongly about is helping the broader community understand what shelter life is really like — how it affects animal behavior, the many reasons dogs and cats end up there and are returned, and what that means for families considering adoption. There's so much misunderstood about shelter animals, and I think better public education leads to better outcomes for everyone. I do pet care full time as I train dogs and cats! I have a full house of animals with two cats, two dogs and a reptile! We enjoy an active life with walks, play and adventure although have a nice balance with rest too:) Safety is my #1 priority. I firmly believe that a trained animal is a happy animal! Every animal that comes into my care has clear expectations so everyone can thrive to the best of their ability. If at daycare, I have the ability to crate and separate dogs and I have a clean, fenced in backyard that has a doggy pool for those warm summer days! For check ins and walks, i'm all about what is most comfortable for the pet. If your cat just needs someone to clean their litter box, thats what I'm there for! Wether its a potty break or full adventure, I'm here for it!
