About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days and when I am in the office, I am a short drive away. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor or not. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up my family and I have adopted 3 dogs. I absolutely love working with dogs - big, small, old, hyper, I’m your gal! I have a couple years of experience working at a doggy day care as well as some dog bathing services. I’m a junior currently attending Ramapo College. I commute to class and am available for multiple days a week. I’m usually always available on the weekends! I have a fenced yard for my dog but she is not the friendliest. I tend to bring her to the dog park where she gets along with other dogs in a bigger/more open area.

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals from small to big since the age of 7. I currently have a German shepherd mix, and he’s been with us since March 8th of 2021, having the time of his life. I’ve had my share with senior cats/dogs, as well as being able to handle oral medication and specific routines. I‘m open and available any day of the week and usually at any time. My calendar is up to date all the way until August. I will treat your pet and your house with utmost respect and privacy, and treat your pet with the love, comfort, and care they deserve and more. They’ll always be safe in my care.

About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend.

About: Hi! I'm A lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet parent who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your dog! I currently have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, whom I am actively training, so I'm very comfortable with daily routines, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also previously raised a Boxer-Catahoula Leopard Hound mix from puppyhood through his senior years, and he lived a happy life until about 16. That experience gave me hands on knowledge with energetic puppies, adult dogs and seniors who need a gentler approach. I treat every dog as if they were my own-with patience, attention, and care! I have experience with small, medium/large dogs, including puppies and seniors and I am comfortable reinforcing basic training and good leash manners. At this time, I'm excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare and boarding Tuesday, Thursday through Sunday. Come summer time I will have 7 days per week availability. I'm currently offering discounted rates while I build up my Rover profile and reviews without cutting corners on care and attention. I am not offering doggy day care or boarding at this time until my own puppies are fully trained. My focus is 100% individualized one-one-one care for your dog in their familiar environment. You can expect a timely visit that includes safe and attentive walks, fresh water, feeding and clean-up, if needed. I can provide photo updates and a brief summary after each visit. My approach to care is calm and assertive! I understand that every dog has a unique personality and I take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe, happy and confident. I am a caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with your dog.

“Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.”

“Sydney saved the day when I needed last-minute help! She was quick to respond and incredibly accommodating. I’m very particular about who I trust with my dog, and I felt good about Sydney right away. She was easy to communicate with and reliable, and her updates made it clear Shera was in good hands and enjoyed her company. I’ll definitely be booking Sydney again for walks or drop-ins.”
