Dog Sitting River Edge

About: I grew up with a dog that we lost at age 15, then I adopted a senior dog who I had for five years afterward. He had a variety of health issues I had to administer medication for, including epilepsy and arthritis. In March of 2024, I adopted a puppy, so I now have experience with younger dogs as well. I allow drop off/pickup between 8AM and 8PM. I work from home full time, M-F from 9AM - 6PM. I can take your dog out to pee numerous times throughout the day and can take them on longer walks 1-2 times per day, weather permitting. I only board dogs who are fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours at a time as I do not offer constant care. Please bring all of your dog’s supplies as I live in an apartment and don’t have extras: food, bed, treats, bowls, toys, chews/enrichment, leash and collar, and anything else you want to send them with to feel comfortable. I have poop bags and some toys they can share with my dog. I can only accept bookings with dogs who are friendly with others, as I have a dog of my own. If they do not seem comfortable together I have a baby gate I can use to separate them. My dog stays in her crate whenever I leave my home. Please note that I do not let dogs I am sitting sleep in my bedroom so they will be sleeping by themselves in whatever bed or crate you provide in my living room.

About: I treat every pet like my own, with love and patience. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I’m great at making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently available on sun,mon,tue (whole day) and wed before 2pm. My schedule is flexible on those dates. I do accept same day schedule. :) I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they get the exercise, playtime, and rest they need. Whether in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, caring environment so they feel at ease.

“Varsha is an incredible pet sitter with a genuine passion for animals. My little pup, Sundae, absolutely loves spending time with her. We had a successful meet and greet where Varsha introduced herself to Sundae and quickly built a rapport. Throughout the visits, Varsha kept me updated with frequent communication and sent me plenty of adorable pictures. As a first-time user of Rover, I am extremely grateful for Varsha’s professionalism and dedication, which made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Five stars!”

About: I love playing with my dog and always make sure he is feed, walked, and is having fun. I have also been around a few different animals and always try to taylor how I treat them towards them. At 8:30am and 6:00pm my dog gets a walk and I let out my dog whenever he stands by my back door into my fenced in yards where he is free do do as he pleases (there is nothing dangerous back there). I walk him around 30 min after his meals so he get a good bowel movement in. I would alway try to leave everything as it is and only to touch what I am instructed too. The would be taken the upmost care of.

“Yvette was awesome! Took such good care of my 3 little fur babies. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and I was in the loop with pictures and updates. One million percent would book again! Thank you!!!! 🐾🐾🐾”

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on dog care experience, including working at two dog daycare/kennel facilities for approximately six months each. In these roles, I was responsible for supervising dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cleaning and sanitizing play areas, handling waste, bathing, brushing, de-shedding, and treating minor wounds. I am very familiar with dog body language and behavior. I can recognize signs of anxiety, stress, fear, overstimulation, and potential aggression, and I know how to respond calmly and safely. I have experience separating dog altercations and maintaining a controlled environment. I am also a dog owner of a Golden Retriever and a rescued Labrador Retriever. I raised my Golden Retriever from puppyhood, so I am highly experienced with puppy care, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and exercise needs. My Labrador was rescued with injuries, and I cared for him during recovery, including wound care and post-neutering recovery. I provide attentive, compassionate care and believe in building trust with every dog. I communicate clearly with pet parents and always prioritize safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Dogs tend to bond with me quickly, and I take pride in creating a calm, loving, and structured environment Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine.

About: What sets me apart is my patience and how I read dogs instead of forcing them. I’m good with stubborn dogs, strong pullers, senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I stay calm, don’t rush them, and adjust to each dog’s pace and personality. I focus on safety, consistency, and trust, making sure every walk or visit is a good experience. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Ive also been around dogs of different shapes and sizes my whole life! Pet care is part of my regular routine. I plan my days around walks and visits so I’m not rushing and can focus on each pet. I stay consistent during the week and flexible when owners need adjustments. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walking, and potty breaks, and I give them time to settle in without rushing. I always supervise them, especially at first, to make sure they’re comfortable and calm. I keep my home clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they have a quiet place to rest. I also send owners updates and photos so they know their pet is doing good.
