House Sitting in River Edge

“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”

“Maybelline did a 5-star job caring for our sheltie Pepper. (Thank you, Maybelline!). Maybelline is a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. She is a terrific communicator and did an excellent job providing daily updates. We especially enjoyed the Pepper photos she sent. When we returned from our trip, it was clear that Pepper was well cared for and happy.”

She was very organized, attentive, and followed all our instructions perfectly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“James kept us informed, kept our high energy dog happy and cared for. He took her on walks where she met other dogs to play with. He took her with him on short trips out of town. He followed feeding and care instructions well. He left our home in great shape, took out the garbage and kept everything clean and ready for us. He was very conservative of any resources to which we gave him permission to use or to consume. We highly recommend James!”

“Ceecee was amazing! She was able to accommodate us extremely last minute to home sit our senior dog. She took great care of our dog and was able to keep up with all his medications. Our apartment was in phenomenal condition when we returned. We will not hesitate to book Ceecee again.”

“Lisbeth is a reliable and responsible sitter who took excellent care of our dog in our home this past weekend. As soon as he met her, he immediately connected to her, which put our minds at ease. Throughout her stay with our dog she followed through with everything asked of her and kept us well-informed with daily pictures. I would definitely recommend Lisbeth and plan to seek her services in the future!”

“Rachel was a fantastic sitter for Wally. She did a pre visit with Wally to get to know him and I could tell by all her thoughtful questions, Wally was going to be in the best hands. She provided amazing pictures and updates to us all weekend long. She was incredibly responsible, trustworthy and made sure Wally felt comfortable and had a ton of fun. We can’t wait to work with her again (and I’m sure Wally can’t wait either).”

“Alexandra was just wonderful. She understood my cats and gave the best of care. She sent me pictures daily accompanied by funny tidbits about them. She stayed in my home for two weeks and when she left it looked exactly as it was when she arrived. I was so grateful for her superb care and kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

Elisabeth T.

“Pete went above and beyond! Incredible job as far as attention to detail and instructions. Very nice guy who kept us completely in the loop the entire time we were gone. Pete is easily the best dogsitter we’ve ever had and our dogs can’t wait to have him back. Whatever is above a perfect rating is what we’d rate him.”

Todd S.

“Maryann was great with my German Shepherd. He's been going through some separation from me and his sister and she was attentive by his side. She cleaned up well after him as well and made sure he got walked or went to the doggy park. I would contact her again.”

“Amanda is awesome! She took great care of our senior dog while we were on vacation. She was extremely patient and attentive to her needs, gave her all her meds, and plenty of walks and attention. She was also very communicative which helped ease our anxiety about leaving our dog. I highly recommend her!”

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.

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.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

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.

“Sherri was excellent! She’s very knowledgeable and skilled. My dog missed her when she was gone.”

About: I grew up around many animals, my best friend and I were roommates and I took part in caring for her senior dog during the last few years of his life. Animals are very precious to me, I do everything that I can to ensure their happiness in their time with me!! I work full time in an office and am only free after 5:30pm M-F. I occasionally go camping in the fall but my calendar will notate when I’m free for weekend visits! I do have a stellar Airbnb profile as a guest haha. All jokes aside, I really do respect my environments especially when they’re not mine. I understand the importance of a home and understand it is a privilege to be invited into that space for whatever length of time. I always strive to leave things the same, if not better, than how they were found.
