Dog Sitting River Edge

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age 5 when I was gifted my first pup. I love my dogs as if they were my children. I have 10yr old 80lb boxer mix and a 9mo poodle. I’m currently in school to be a certified life coach. My husband owns a cleaning business and I help him from time to time. I would like to fill in my days getting outside and caring for your fur babies. I can care for your dog at home as instructed. I also have a medium poodle that is fully vaccinated and in great health that I can bring along to play with your pup.

About: I have experience with high-energy dogs like doodles, as I have one of my own. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, so I’m able to keep dogs well exercised and engaged. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. For the month of May, I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays, and from 8 AM to 3 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Starting June 1, I will be working a full-time internship and will be available on weekdays from 6 PM to 10 PM, and on weekends from 9 AM to 3 PM. I care for pets in their own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise based on their energy level, while always keeping them securely leashed and monitored. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and any specific routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, whether they’re high-energy and need longer walks or more relaxed and prefer a slower pace. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I always provide updates so owners know their pet is doing well.

About: I have a two senior furry friends that always seek attention. 🐶🐈‍⬛ My 12 year old pup was diagnosed with insulinoma about 2 years ago, and ever since she has been living the best senior life full of pup cups and Trader Joe’s salmon skins. ❤️ It is through her that I have learned a great deal in friendship and cuddles. 🫂 I am currently working part-time on Rover on the weekdays and weekends when needed. I do have a schedule on my pet’s meal time for 10am, 12pm, 6pm, and 10pm. 🕙 All times vary, and can be accommodated. ❤️ My home is right by the Leonia forest, so it’s the best for taking our fur babies on strolls to allow them to get more fresh air and whiffs of nature. 🌱 All standard necessities such as bathing, grooming, and feeding I am capable of. If needed, please do let me know your preferred routine, and any allergies, medications, or food diets for your pup(s) that I should be mindful of.

“Peter was fantastic! This was our third time booking him, and he never disappoints! He kept us updated throughout with photos and check-ins, which always gives us total peace of mind. Communication is smooth from start to finish and he’s always quick to respond. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have also cared for other animals like turtles, frogs, rabbits, hamsters and birds. Growing up surrounded by pets sparked a lifelong passion for animal care, and I’ve been caring for them ever since. I used to run my own dog-sitting business in the neighborhood where I grew up. I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. It was a rewarding experience that helped me build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I’ve also cared for cats and other small animals, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care as if they were my own. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to care for dogs before work, after work, and throughout the weekends. On weekdays, your dog will receive plenty of attention in the mornings and evenings, and if boarding with me, they’ll have the companionship of my friendly dog during the day. I’m also available for overnight stays, boarding on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, giving your pet plenty of love, exercise, and personalized care while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets become part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine by following feeding schedules, providing walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of companionship. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality and needs to ensure they receive the best possible care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: With over three decades of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and versatility to ensuring the well-being of animals. My journey began with a deep love for creatures of all kinds, evolving into a lifelong commitment to their care, training, and happiness. From nurturing playful puppies to providing specialized care for senior dogs, I’ve mastered the art of meeting animals’ needs at every stage of life. My expertise extends beyond canines to include horse training and ownership, as well as caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets and fish giving me a uniquely broad perspective on pet care. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience across such a diverse range of species. Training puppies has honed my ability to foster trust, teach essential behaviors, and create lasting bonds using positive, patient methods. Caring for elder dogs has deepened my understanding of their unique needs, from mobility support to tailored nutrition, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and dignified. My work with horses has refined my skills in handling large animals, mastering their training with a calm, confident approach that translates to all species. Meanwhile, my care for smaller companions like rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets showcases my attention to detail, from crafting enriching environments to monitoring their delicate health needs. This diverse background equips me to adapt to any pet’s personality, needs, or challenges. I pride myself on creating safe, nurturing environments where animals thrive, whether it’s through customized training plans, meticulous health monitoring, or simply showering them with love. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a commitment to lifelong learning about animal behavior and care. With 30 years of hands-on experience, I offer not just expertise but a genuine passion for enhancing the lives of pets and their owners, making me a trusted partner in their care. As a former elementary art educator now a stay-at-home mom, I seamlessly blend my pet care experience into my daily routine, ensuring our animals thrive alongside family life. My flexibility and availability allows for a harmonious, pet-friendly environment with ease. Dedicated to care, love and enrichment, I ensure your pet’s safety, trust, and comfort in my home. My securely fenced yard includes a designated pet relief area, kept clean for hygiene. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs offer companionship, with interactions carefully monitored to suit your pet’s temperament. If crating is needed for rest or anxiety, I am happy to use your dog’s crate. My expertise spans puppies, senior dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and fish, allowing me to adapt to any pet’s unique requirements with confidence and care. I foster trust through transparent, personalized care, consulting with you to understand your pet’s routines, feeding, and preferences. My pet-friendly home is a safe, enriching environment, free from hazards, with spaces for rest, play, and feeding. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m present to provide constant supervision, ensuring your pet feels loved and secure. Regular updates and photos keep you connected, giving you peace of mind that your fur baby is thriving in my care.

“I have a 130 lb female Great Dane who isn’t the easiest to handle, but Bryndon was absolutely amazing with her. Highly recommend to anyone — especially if you have a big pup who needs a little extra attention!”

About: “I have spent most of my life caring for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. Having a family pet is a true joy and blessing, and I understand how important they are to you. Life can get busy, but you can rest assured that I will care for your furry (or feathered!) friend as if they were my own.” I’m currently working part time so my schedule is flexible to help with your furry friends. My schedule is open M-F 8am-3pm and 4pm-7pm. Also available for overnights on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and a 2 year old rescue mixed breed Shepherd . If they get along great. If not I can crate my dog when your pet is in the house.

“Andrea was very easy to work and communicate with through the whole process, and put us at ease for our first time using Rover. She sent great photos and didn’t mind the occasional love bites one of our cats tends to give.”

“We have booked Jalisa several times and she has always been wonderful. She is great with our pack of pups (we've never left her with less than 2 and sometimes as many as 4 dogs) and reliably keeps in touch with great pictures. I recommend Jalisa highly.”

“Liz was great watching my cats! She sent me lots of pictures and spent plenty of time with them to make me feel comfortable while I was away! She even got my shy cat out of her shell in just two visits which made me so happy to see while I couldn’t be there with them. Great communication from her and overall just such a great help while I was gone.”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for a dog every day showed me just how much I love being around them and giving them the attention they deserve. As an elementary school teacher, I have more flexibility during the summer, and my weekends are usually free. I’m flexible with scheduling and can often accommodate same-day requests when possible. I have experience with walks, playtime, basic training, and lots of snuggles. I even helped reinforce good leash manners and taught a few fun tricks. I’d love the chance to give your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and care! 💙 As an elementary school teacher, my availability expands during the summer, and weekends are almost always free. I’m also happy to accommodate same-day requests and schedule changes whenever possible! 🩵 I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep pets secure on walks, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. 🩵

“Nheli is so good with our dog. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of pets for over 25 years. I have personally owned pets and I know what it takes to care for them. I am currently retired. I have free time on my schedule to care for your pet(s). I am also flexible with my schedule, if needed. I have a fully fenced in yard, with a nice grass area. My house is big enough for your pet to have space to roam around and play.

About: I am a (human) doctor and your pets safety is my priority! I know that peace of mind when you’re gone is the most importantly, and you can be sure I’ll take care of your pet like I have my friends and families. They have trusted me for many years to care for and play with their furry members! My work is remote and flexible in hours so I am very available any day other than Tuesday. I am happy to give your dog(s) the attention they need! I treat every dog and home with respect—I know that your needs may differ from my last clients, so I will always follow your instructions with care. I am attentive to detail and really love animals. They deserve the best, and I promise to deliver that.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and can’t imagine a home without them! I’ve had my own pups since I was little and currently share my days with my dog, Jagger. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which makes my schedule very flexible. I love spending time with dogs & cats and giving them plenty of love, playtime, and care. My goal is to make things easier for you while ensuring your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. Please let me know if your dog or cats has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of—like medication, dietary restrictions, or separation anxiety. I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m great with dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels, but it’s helpful to know their personality and what makes them happiest!

“Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is often a stressful for an owner but knowing Craig is keeping a watchful on them for drop in visits aleviated a half stress. Craig was punctual and provided consistent communication. Craig is very kind and understanding of my senior dog’s needs. His punctuality ensured there were no potty accidents. Despite terrible rain storms during the visits, I returned to find my home clean and my dogs content which is a testament to Craig’s respect for me home as well. I highly recommend Craig for drop in visits.”
