Cat Sitting in Saddle River

“Chloe is the absolute BEST! She is easy to communicate with, professional and nice! Our super shy cat always comes out for her and feels safe with her. She is our go to cat sitter and would recommend her 10/10!!!”

“I appreciate having been able to book Alice to watch my furbaby Wednesday while I was away for the weekend. I was nervous as I know my cat can be skiddish and tends to hiss and swat at people she doesn’t know. Alice was willing to meet Wednesday prior to the actual booking. She is sweet, caring and patient and kind. I appreciate her style of communication with us throughout the process and the feedback and suggestions on how to handle certain situations. I truly am grateful for her knowledge with cats (or all pets) and I hope to implement some of her tips in my day to day interactions w my cat. Alice is great and I hope to book her again! Thank you so much ❤️”

“Joe was great with our cat, Grits and very communicative while we were away. We came back to a happy cat and everything as we left it. Thank you so much for the peace of mind on our trip, Joe!”

“Fantastic! We are so grateful to Lisbeth for checking in on our cat & fish. She took excellent care of our pets and provided check-in updates with photos which were great.”

“Alexa was fantastic with watching my cat for a long weekend. I got plenty of picture updates and she was so communicative throughout the weekend! Will definitely be hiring her again!”

“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”

“Excellent service. This was my first time using Rover and I'm very pleased with Emma's communication and perseverance getting Rocco outside”

“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”

“Kerri was very proactive and a great communicator. Our cats loved her and she was a pleasure to work with!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since we got our own pet dog when I was 8. Since then, we have fostered many puppies, and I have become a volunteer raiser and sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I have lots of experience with different kinds of pet care for all kinds of different pets. I am home from college for the summer, so I have free time throughout the day to tend to your pets! I am available for house sitting, home visits, or walking your pet any day of the week! I am familiar with exercising and entertaining pets, or practicing any training you may request. I also make a great snuggle buddy for your pets whether on the furniture or on the floor :)

“Sam was reliable and my kitties were well cared for while I was away! He cleaned their many litter boxes daily and even made sure my basil plant was watered outside. Thanks to him I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation.”

About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or sitting at your home. However, some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, feel free to message me to explore, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that they can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, we are a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie and uncle who are both home full time — me as the primary caretaker, and my partner as a backup (if you’d like). It helps make coverage more reliable, and play time feel a lot more like family time for your pup (except no kids). We are not the types to be addicted to our phones because we believe in being present when spending time with fur friends. We also typically don’t take in too many so that we can provide more attention, and be available when you need us. It’s quality over quantity for us! :) Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, so don’t worry about that. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but my spouse and I are both currently home in NJ full-time. I believe in mutual respect, gentle care, and transparency, and would treat your pup the same way I would want mine to be cared for. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel comforted that they are safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.

“Leigh is amazing! She took excellent care of our two fur babies. Right off the bat on the first meet and greet, we got an excellent first impression. She was friendly and brought them homemade amazing treats! When our trip came, she was in constant contact with us and sent so many wonderful pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip with the knowledge that our pups were safe and cared for. Leigh is a rockstar.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years, my own and others. I have compassion for all animals and I want to focus on building trust. I currently work full time but that I am able to stop by before and after work. I do not work weekends so I am able to stop by then as well. I will walk, feed and play with your furry friend. If your pet needs medications administered, I’d be happy to do that for you as well.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. My family always had dogs growing up. My first dog, Spooner, was with me since infancy. I helped train and raise my second dog, Merlin, from a puppy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing special care. I am also skilled in training basic commands and ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. As an adolescent, I would take care of my neighbor's cats when they went away. I got my cat, Stevie, 3 years ago. I’m excellent at taking care of cats and ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and have clean litter boxes. My experience includes administering medications and providing a calm, loving environment for cats of all ages. I look forward to the day I can get a dog, but until then, I will enjoy caring for others' dogs and cats. As a teacher, I have the summer off, so I’ll have plenty of time to take good care of your pups! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dedicated and attentive care throughout the day. I have a cozy, safe home for you dogs to stay at overnight or for an extended periods of time. I'm also happy to provide drop-in visits or to stay in your home. I'm a skilled communicator and will always be courteous and respectful of your residence.

“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”

About: I have worked for a doggy daycare/boarding establishment for over a year. I have also been pet sitting for family and friends for almost 3 years. Have experience working with multiple different breeds. I work at a doggy daycare/boarding establishment every weekend. During the week I take care of my own dog when my parents are at work. I like to let the pet get comfortable around me and come up to me whenever they feel ready. Once we have established a trusting relationship I will take them on walks and/or play with them and feed them!
