House Sitting in Rockaway

“Antonia was great with our 9 year old labradoodle. He has separation anxiety, but was clearly comfortable with Antonia right from the outset. Antonia was always prompt and is a great communicator. Highly recommend.”

“My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.”

“Jennifer watched our dog for an extended stay at our home while we were away on vacation. I mostly just wanted our dog to have some company and someone to look after our house - but I got so much more than I bargained for! Jennifer spent so much time with our dog and took excellent care of our home. She sent regular photos and updates and ultimately gave me the peace of mind I was looking for that our dog was in good hands :) Jennifer is an absolute sweetheart and she was everything we were looking for - and more! I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“As always, a wonderful experience with Liam. He watched our 10 year old Am Staff for 6 days. When we came home from our trip she was relaxed and not stressed at all, like she had been coming home from the kennel. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Liam!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for over 10 years. From family, friends, and other clients, they have trusted me to take care of their furry friends while keeping them updated as much as they want. Giving the pets the love and care as if they are my own dog I am currently working on the weekdays remote and I am available to take care of your dogs during the day and on the weekends. I do not have pets in my own home, but I am very comfortable with staying at your home to keep your dog happy being at their safe space.

“Last minute trip and Erinn responded quickly. We were delayed getting home and she came back to take care of our animals . Very responsive. Communicates regularly. Will be using her again.”

“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”

About: Puppy care & basic training: crate training, potty routines, leash manners, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I focus on creating a stress-free, loving environment where pets feel secure—and owners feel confident they’ve chosen the right sitter. On a daily basis, I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, training reinforcement, and check-ins. I make sure each pet gets one-on-one time, whether that’s a long walk, enrichment activities, or quiet companionship. In my Home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, and sleep schedules, provide plenty of playtime and enrichment, and make sure they get lots of affection and supervision. I keep a clean, secure space and carefully separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Client’s home, I treat each home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and notes so clients feel confident and informed.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified

“I highly recommend Alexyss! I am so glad I was able to find a sitter who loves my dog as much as I do. She has great experience , especially with bully breeds which left me at ease when going away! She is kind and attentive, and overall just loves animals! I am so grateful to have found her as a sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.

“Emma was great! She did what I asked of her such as send me pics of our dogs, which we appreciated very much. Our flight got cancelled coming home so we were 2 days late and she stayed until we get home. Thank you again, Emma you are the greatest.”

“Kayla was an awesome dog sitter! You can tell she is a true dog lover. She sent me frequent updates and she is overall a great communicator. I would highly recommend her and I will be using her again in the future!”

“This is the second time that we’ve used Erin to house sit our dog Rocky. Erin is awesome!!! She responds right away and always keeps us updated on her visits. Erin is now our go-to dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in the future. I highly recommend Erin for all of your dog sitting needs.”

About: ***I have availability for one dog walking client in the Hopatcong/Lake Hopatcong/Mt. Arlington area only on Mondays and/or Friday*** I am a retired school teacher and I started dog-sitting in 2015 in the summers and school vacations. I loved it so much that I decided to do it year-round. You will not find a more responsible or caring sitter for your pets! My rates may be a little higher than some other sitters, but you get what you pay for, which is a trustworthy sitter with an impeccable reputation. When your dog stays with me, he (or she) will be treated the same way I treat my own-- spoiled rotten! I consider myself to be a small dog specialist, and feel that my small-but-cozy home is perfectly suited for big dogs in little bodies. There are no children in the home and I strive to keep a clean and clutter-free space. Someone is always home with them and they are treated to frequent walks (never left alone outside in a yard), snuggles on the sofa, playtime, and lots of hugs and kisses! If I am caring for you pet in your home as a house sitter, I will be available overnight until mid to late morning and then again from early afternoon through the evening. I always respect your home and will leave it in the same condition as when I arrived. I can bring in mail, water houseplants, care for caged pets, etc. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover ever since I was a little girl. My mother could never get me to stay home, as I was always running around the neighborhood, visiting all the dogs! Finally, she got me my own dog so I would stay home. As an adult, I had a dog, a black lab mix, who lived until the ripe old age of 15. I currently have Shelby, a Chihuahua mix, who is the most recent love of my life (don't tell my husband)! I love having multiple dogs and enjoy watching them interact. Dog sitting is the perfect way to get to know lots of awesome dogs and their equally awesome owners (anyone who loves their dog is awesome in my eyes!). Meet my pets Shelby - Chihuahua mix - friendly and playful. Certified pet therapy dog who has made several visits to the school where I taught -- she loves to lick faces and spread Chihuahua cuteness! About my yard I have an enclosed deck leading from my back door. This protects those door-dashers from escaping, and provides a place to get some sun and relax outside on nice days. I have an extra lounge chair ready for your pooch! I do have a yard, but it is not fenced. I take my own dog on multiple daily walks in the woods adjoining my house, and your dog would be treated the same while staying with me. Your dog will not just be put out in a yard unsupervised. My experience administering medication Yes, oral and topical meds. Your dog will NEVER be left unattended at my home. I usually only leave the house for my dog walking appointments, and during that time, someone else will always be home. I have a shady, fenced deck area where we hang out when the weather is nice. This is right outside my back door, so if you have a "door dasher," he won't get far! There is a wooded trail just a few steps from my home where we take our walks without having to worry about cars passing by or being in the hot sun in the summer. My home is small but cozy, clean and clutter free, When I visit dogs in their home, after the "business" is finished, I love to sit, pet, play with and talk to your dog.

“Ray was amazing!! I needed someone pretty last minute & he was willing to come stay with multiple dogs at my house. He kept me updated with pictures and videos. I could tell the pups were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend & will use again! Thanks Ray (and thanks to your sister Anna also)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from different sizes and breeds since I was 17. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs, and as a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with a sitter. I’m attentive, empathetic, and detail-oriented, making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable whether it’s energetic walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their routine. I work full-time but am available after work for walks, drop-ins, play time, or feeding, with flexible care to fit your pet’s needs Friday through Sunday. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! I treat every pet like family, providing safe, loving care in the comfort of your home. I’m hyper vigilant of my surroundings, making sure all doors and potential escape routes are secured, while following your instructions closely to keep your furry friend happy, calm, and secure.

“Michael was fantastic with our 3-month-old puppy! From the very first meet and greet, it was clear that Atlas adored him and felt comfortable right away. Michael genuinely cares about learning each dog’s personality and providing the best care possible. Leaving your pup behind can be stressful, but we had peace of mind knowing Atlas was in good hands. Even when our flight got delayed, Michael was flexible and super accommodating. Thank you!”
