Dog Sitting Rutherford

“It is such a blessing to be able to go away and know your dogs are in good hands. Oleida is very responsible and has a great personality. My dogs are explosive detection K-9s. One active and one retired. I needed the best care possible and I got it with Oleida. I Will be a repeat customer. The dogs loved her and her mom. Thanks again Robert”

“We opted for drop-in visits for our dog and Gabby did an amazing job. She understood the instructions well and was super responsible in handling him and getting in and out of our home. My dog had a great time and we’d definitely hire Gabby again! 😊”

About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.

About: Use my promo code for $20 off! CAMMI16428, https://www.rover.com/sit/cammi16428 **All services on Rover are negotiable. I am more than happy to quote a custom rate based on 15-20min (< 2 miles) or 45min (< 3 miles) as opposed to 30 or 60, which is what Rover defaults to. **There are two main providers (my mom and I) working on this account. I am the lead sitter, and my mom works with me directly. I am responsible for walks, visits, and overnights (in your home) while she runs the daycare and boarding services offered in our home. **Arrival times for bookings: As we all know, Bergen County has its' fair share of traffic and bad weather making getting from one place to another difficult at times. Then, there's apartment complexes and having to wait for an extended period of time to receive a key, for example. With that being said, we kindly ask for flexibility (within reason) in terms of arrival times with the exception being puppies, pets who require medication, and the elderly. All pets are important as are pet owners. We want to make everyone happy with regards to when we arrive. I, Cammie, complete all new client bookings and bookings that require medication or have animals present with special needs of some sort. You are dealing directly with me when communicating via the platform. To ensure your pet is safe and well taken care of, you should aim to use a full-time professional pet sitter that is trained and dedicated. Offered Services: *Kennel-free boarding (our place) *Overnight Stay (your home, 2 options) -Please ask how we can customize your animal's in-home care while you're away. *Drop-in Visits (non-vacation customers) -Can be daily or reoccurring bookings when the visit is not solely focused on walking the animal. For example, if you have a puppy and want me to stop by for 30min, 3x a week to play with and take the puppy out, then this would be considered a drop-in since puppies don't typically go on full blown 30min walks. *Dog Walks -Standard dog walks are 30 minutes and we start the timer as soon as we unlock your door. 1-hr long walks are limited availability and scheduled in the early mornings or late evenings, weekdays only. *Doggy Daycare -Available to clients only (those that have utilized other services, such as: dog walks or visits) *Please know that most services are negotiable for several pets within the same household (for example, if you have 6 cats). **About Me: I've always had animals in my life and over the years, thought I'd be a veterinarian. That never happened, of course, because I couldn't bare the cons of working with animals in that capacity. I began watching pets of friends and family in my free time and wholeheartedly enjoyed it. In January of 2022, my dad passed away unexpectedly from COVID-19 which left me torn to pieces. And somehow, after half of a year, I decided that I was going to focus on the aspects of my life that bring me the most joy. I had to. Before COVID-19, I signed up to Rover but was only acquiring strange/fake inquiries. I don't know why, but I decided to try again after my loss. This time, things took off very unexpectedly. Call it divine intervention or happenstance, but I know what I'm meant to do now and it involves what I've always loved-- animals. I go to great lengths to plan and optimize my schedule so that I can give the highest level of service possible to you and your pets. I love what I do, and take this very seriously. When I go to your home, I will respect any and all rules laid out for me. Just let me know whatever you need, and I will get it done!

“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Nicole was exactly what we needed! Our pup can be shy, but she immediately loved Nicole, and Nicole quickly mastered all of our girl’s quirks and routines. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”

“Absolutely phenomenal! She cared for my kitties the way I do :)”

About: I’ve had my dog, Winston, for 10 year's. My family is usually busy, so when i’m home i make sure to walk him at least once a day. I’ve watched a few of my friends’ dogs and cats as well, and have walked multiple dogs from my neighborhood. I work from home 3 days a week, which allows me the flexibility to consistently walk my own dog and take care of his needs- and I am more than happy to do the same with yours! I can crate dogs, take them out, feed them, play with them, show them love, and just spend some quality time with them! I always make sure to respect boundaries though and read their body signals when they need space.

About: I have worked at many doggie daycares, shelters, and sanctuaries taking care of many types of dogs, while I have been studying for my Masters in Animal Science As a Masters student, I am able to control my schedule to care for all your pet needs on your time! Your furry friends are my top priority! I am ‘Maddies Fund’ certified in Canine Body Language, trained in breaking up and preventing dog fights and ensuring animal safety. As a keeper with Howling Woods farms I am well trained in animal behavior

“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”

“Julia was amazing with the cats. She came in twice a day to take care of our 2 cats for two weeks. Gave one of them medication. Sent daily reports and very affectionate photos. I am sure they had a great time with her.”

About: I am a reliable person. If I say i’m coming, I show up. I think animals tend to warm up to me quickly because i’m nurturing. I am a writer, so I am flexible with my work from anywhere during the day, except for the days i’m filming and on set. I have a cat myself at home, i have a 2nd bedroom so i can always use the guest room for your animal if they are not comfortable being around a cat.

“Morgan was PHENOMENAL! So kind and so incredibly sweet, and my pups absolutely loved her. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”

About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of available time to spend with any pet in need. I cherish the love of all furry friends! * I offer daytime house-sitting which allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pet without overnight stay for personal reasons. My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.

“Ashlee was an amazing fit for our Banji and our baby took to her very quickly ! The photo updates were amazing, and it was such a joy working with her. We will be booking her again !!”

About: I currently work at one of the top-rated doggy daycares in Elmwood Park, where I’ve had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have grown up around them my entire life, learning how to care for them with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. Working with dogs is something that comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. I work morning shifts five days a week, typically from 6 AM to 1 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings open for pet care. My days off vary each week, but I’m flexible and love dedicating my free time to caring for animals. I’m available whenever I’m not working and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care. 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My own pets are my spoiled babies, and I make sure they have everything they need to live their happiest lives from plenty of playtime and attention to regular meals, potty breaks, and the freedom to be their silly, lovable selves. I create a calm, caring environment where pets can feel comfortable, be themselves, and know they’re in loving hands. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with that same patience, affection, and care I would want for my own.

About: My heart goes out to every pet owner, as I have recently lost my childhood companion in June 2025. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets. Pet care in my daily life and daily routine is something I have open availability for at this time as long as I am notified 1-2 days in advance. Based on the pet I am taking care of, I can best accommodate with the pet if I know their behaviors, triggers, their favorite things to do, etc. I’d treat every pet as my own, making sure they get their daily walks in, set a time for when to eat, make sure they do eat, set some time aside to possibly play depending on the dog, cleanliness is also key.

“Kelly took such good care of my pup while I was out of town! Would not hesitate to book her again! Thanks!”

“Randi was great! She Took care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. She made sure to take photos and keep us updated with how they were doing the whole time!”

About: Hello!! I’m Zainab, an owner of 2 silly cats and I would love to take care of your furry loved one! Spending time with pets genuinely makes me happy and it shows in the type of care I give them. Finding the appropriate pet care is just as stressful as finding the right care for your human child. A few of my qualities like being patient, reliable, and responsible can help ease your mind especially when you are far away from your pet. I will always stay in touch and give regular check-ins with a photo of your pet so you can see how they are doing. Yours and your pets comfort is my priority. I’m there to make your pet feel safe, loved and cared for no matter what their big personality brings. They can be shy, energetic, cuddly or even a bit stubborn. I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs and I care for my 2 cats including one of my cats that needs his daily oral allergy medication. I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend! I am currently unemployed and looking to fill up some of my time looking after your pets. My time is pretty flexible to give them all the attention they need! I try my best to keep up with your pets same schedule and routine so they do not feel lonely or stressed without their human their. And of course there will be extra attention and play time going around.
