Dog Sitting Riverdale

About: I grew up with dogs while I was in elementary school and cared for them through college. Pets will see in me unconditional love, loyalty and a true dog friend!my goal is to ensure the dogs feel well cared for like they do by their pet parent. I work full time but work 2-3 days from home. Weekends are more flexible.would require at least 2 days heads up so I can plan for quality care for your pet. At this point, since I don’t have a fenced yard, I am Opting only for dog walks and drop in care.happy to share pictures of your pet to ensure you have the peace of mind you need when you are away or need your pet taken care of

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

About: I have a flexible schedule that would allow me to come and drop by along with pet sitting. I have grown up with pets and had learned to take care after them. Personally I have watched family and friends animals while away. I have two cats and a dog of my own. I love all animals big and small. Having me watch over your pet will relieve your anxiety as you are away, your pet will be in good hands and taken care of. We all like to know our pets are okay without being there to watch them. I love animals and to take care of them for you when in need would be a pleasure. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! I have the availability to come by after work during the week for pet care as well free weekends to visit or stay with pet(s) if necessary. I have two cats and a dog of my own that I care for daily and show lots of love to. With your pets I would show them the same care with respect to your home and rules if you have any for their care.

“This was our first time using Courtney. She took wonderful care of my 2 Abyssinian Cats for the week we were away . She was diligent and efficient, and spent time and played with them, She was easy to work with and my Cats loved her... She was on top of water fountain, feedings, and kitty litter patrol. She played with them daily and sent me updates on how they were doing , as well as daily photos.. I felt very at ease that my pets were in good care and would highly recommend Courtney and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix. I’m a homeschool mama with a flexible schedule. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

“Alison was amazing! She took such good care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. We would use her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.

About: I’m a college student studying animal science! I’ve always loved dogs and have always been around them. Currently taking a dog behavior class as well! I have a flexible schedule as a college student! On break I am free most the time, and I can also work around my classes! I love my pets more than anything! They are apart of the family and receive the upmost of care! I respect how you want your pet to be cared for an follow all special instructions!

About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life but i’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I’m well trained at taking care of multiple extra large dogs. I only work part time currently so I have open availability pretty much all the time. I’m very active so I love to go on walks! Just reach out to me for a booking :) I don’t have room to care for your pet inside my home but i’m happy to come to yours to take care of your babies

About: I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I grew up with an Airedale Terrier and later a Welsh Terrier, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for dogs at different life stages. I also have hands-on experience supporting a senior dog - handling vet visits, acupuncture appointments, and helping him get around comfortably when his mobility declined. I’m a young professional looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. In college, I lived with a friendly and affectionate pit mix who quickly became one of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever known. In addition, I’ve fostered puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs to ensure your dog gets the best care possible.

About: Hi, my name is Kimmie. I am an experienced veterinary technician(almost 21yrs; although I'm currently taking a break from teching at the moment), and I am an extreme animal lover. If you’re wondering why there's not a lot of reviews in my profile it is because a lot of my clients which, I have many, & repeat clients have come from work or word of mouth & aren’t on this app. But if you wanted some more references I can definitely give you them. I have a large fenced in yard that your dogs will love playing in. There is also a-lot of places in my neighborhood that I can take them for walks. I have been working with animals for years now as mentioned, whether it be as a vet tech or pet sitting, and I absolutely love it!! I do pet sitting/ dog walking outside of Rover as previously mentioned again if you wanted more references (than the 2 reviews I have on my page here I would be happy to provide you with them). I will take great care of your animals as if they are your children, which let's face it they basically are. I can take care of any special needs or elderly dogs or cats( I just can’t board cats but can house sit or do drop in visits for them due to someone who lives upstairs from me is highly allergic), give injections,&’ and any type of medication. It's one of the pluses of being a vet tech and pet sitting, not only because I get to work more with the animals I love so much, but because I am trained to know what to do in certain situations if need be, and what behaviors to look for if god forbid something was off or going on with your pet. This hasn't happened yet and I hope that it doesn't but I am always prepared just in case. And if they need anything at all more than I can do myself , I can go to the animal hospital with them (whether that be the one you bring them too or call the doctor/owner of the practice I work for if need be ; whichever you’d prefer) to make sure they are getting the best care and love while in my care. I am open to all different breeds and ages of dogs & cats, including puppies/kittens and senior animals as well. I am always able and willing to watch other little pets such as Guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, and other little fur babies like those. Your pet will be in great hands if you choose to use me as their pet sitter/dog walker. I really have a passion for caring for and being around animals. It is my happy place and it is what I truly love to do! I have loved them since I was a young child and feel so lucky to be able to do what I do today and work with them. So just know that if you decide to choose me to care for your fur babies, they will be in the best hands! ♡ Right now I am taking a break from Teching. So I'm open more for pet sitting. I can house sit if it’s just for a few days on a weekend -Friday night thru Monday night sometimes Tuesdays depending on the weekend because I work every other Tuesday 3pm- about 7:30ish. There are insists where I could house sit for a whole week it would just depend on the week. Otherwise days I work I can stop by before work, depending on location during my lunch break, and after work if it’s for just drop in visits or dog walking/ cat care.. like I mentioned earlier, I do work every other Tuesday and if I’m working that Tuesday then I am off that Thursday. (I know it’s a bit confusing) but my days off I’m available to stop in or dog walk more times per day even when I have work. But aside from the Tuesdays I work, I only ever really work till 4:30-5pm. The every other Tuesday I work 3pm-7-7:30pm(ish) so I could drop in, in the morning, before work, and after work. I can explain it to you better if you reach out to me for a pet sitting/boarding job if you are confused by my schedule because as I said it is quite confusing. Any other questions you may have regarding anything please reach out to me and I try to respond asap if not right away! 😊 The only time it may take me a little bit longer to respond is if I’m at work but even then I try to respond very quickly definitely within 8hrs of getting the message which as I said would only be if I was at work. I have a nice big fenced in back yard where they are able to run around and play. I am unfortunately unable to board cats just dogs and puppies. I do not have any animals of my own right now ( unfortunately due to not being able to have them where I live but I am able to board here one pet or if it’s say two dogs same family) so it would just be your pet with me to receive all my attention and love if they were staying with me at my home. If they need help (meds for older pets or any pet with medical issues/ if they need help going upstairs to go outside not a problem either esp since there’s only 3 or 4 steps up/down into the backyard. Or if you use a crate for them for sleeping at night that’s not a problem either. Any rules you have set for your pet I will follow them. For example if you do not want them on the couch or bed then then I’d follow your guidelines or if you like them to be walked there’s plenty of places I can take them for walks on too. It’s of course whatever you prefer when it comes to anything regarding the care of your fur baby!! If I am house sitting of course same thing however you normally do things with you’re pets I will follow (ex: not allowed on couches or beds; anything at all that you prefer or do with them I will do the same)!!

“Jennifer is so kind and easy to work with! I felt very comfortable leaving my two cats in her hands. Would definitely book again.”

About: Here’s what you should know before booking with me: - I’ve been on this app since May 2023 - I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, and I love them.

Whether it’s backyard playtime, walks around the neighborhood, or visits to the park, let me know what your pet loves most! - Crates are only used if requested by the pet owner. - I pay close attention to whether it makes sense to separate pets, and we can chat about this when you book. - I’ve got 4 years’ experience caring for cats. - I’ve given injections to dogs before, and if there’s anything specific I need to know for other pets, I’m happy to learn! - Need pet pickup or drop-off? I might be able to help depending on how far you are, and we’ll work out the details together. - I don’t offer grooming services. - Pet bath is not free. Before we book, just a heads-up that I’ll need a photo showing your pet’s up-to-date shots (including rabies). Can't wait to meet your pet! Since I’m around for most of the day at home, I can make sure they’re well taken care of, entertained, and feeling loved while you’re away. At my place or at the owner’s house, I always make sure to give pets the love and care they deserve by providing them with food, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I also make it a point to follow their instructions on feeding, giving medication, and tending to any special needs. I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also volunteer at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, where I socialize with dogs and cats, take dogs on walks, play with them, and help with their overall care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, providing fresh water, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m an active person, so longer walks and hikes are always a pleasure, especially for energetic dogs! I’m also happy to handle the less glamorous parts of pet care. If your pet has an accident inside the house, I have no problem cleaning it up and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and lots of attention while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits, depending on the day and your pet’s needs. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and longer visits. Safety is always my priority. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash during walks and make sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. Depending on your preferences and your dog’s routine, I can supervise them in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, or bring them to a dog park for some exercise and playtime. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog gets the type of activity they’re used to.

About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
