Dog Sitting in Saddle River

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and trained dog care professional based in Ramsey, NJ 🐾 I am willing to help all over North Jersey! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my 14-year-old Wheaten Terrier, Dexter, who I’ve had for his entire life! :) I’ve also worked in a professional dog daycare and provided dog walking and pet sitting for multiple families, and I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! Whether it’s playtime, a walk, helping with meds, or just keeping your pet company, I bring calm, reliable, loving energy to every visit. I’m trained in safe animal handling and committed to keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also make sure keep pet parents updated with lots of photos and messages for peace of mind. 😊 Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!! I’m a college student home for the summer! I have a very open and available schedule, and I’m available to help you and your furry friend/friends most any time and any day with anything you need :) I always make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. When caring for dogs in their home, I’m respectful of the space and always leave it even better than I found it!

“Thank you for the great walk and descriptive updates!”

“Raquel was communicative and reliable when we needed a last-minute drop-in sitter for our cat over the holiday weekend. During the meet & greet, she was very interested in learning about Monty’s habits and needs. While we were away, Raquel sent updates and photos each day, and helped with an unexpected package delivery. It was great to know that Monty was in such good hands - we highly recommend Raquel!”

“A big thank you to Tyler for jumping in a the last minute to care for our pups for the day. Great communication and pictures, too!!”

“My dog was recently diagnosed with vertigo which made her general care a bit more difficult. Joe showed up like the amazing guy he is and took SUCH good care of her! He followed my instructions to a “T,” asked clarifying questions, and gave me constant updates on how she was doing. You could tell that he became invested in her journey to recovery too!”

Andrea G.

“Thanks for being sure our girl, Nessie, got out this week. We appreciate having a reliable person to care for her. I hope your dog is doing better and home from the vet. She will see you next week!”

“Alli has done such an incredible job with my puppy. She was always on time, was flexible with change of instructions during visits, took lots of pictures, and gave him the attention he needed! She is reliable and a great help. I would 100% work with Alli again and would highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Kaitlynn was very thorough and thoughtful throughout her care of our cat, Grits. She was also very knowledgeable which gave me so much peace of mind heading out the door! She even took initiative with extra tasks, which made things easier as we settled back in. Thank you, Kaitlynn!! Will definitely get in touch next time we need eyes on our cat.”

About: I’ve had many dogs in the past and have plenty of experience caring for them. I make sure they get regular walks, lots of playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m responsible for feeding them and keeping them on their routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently a college student who is very dedicated and hardworking in my studies, and I bring that same level of responsibility and commitment to pet care. During the summer, my schedule is very open, which allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day. I don’t have many daily obligations right now, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they need, including regular walks, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your dog will feel at home. I always supervise pets closely, whether we’re indoors or outside, and I make sure they are secure at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“We had a great experience with Melinda caring for our cat Ramen during our vacation. She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and kept our home clean and tidy. She provided wonderful company for our cat, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”

About: All my family and friends have dogs or cats and they are considered family just like everyone else. I’m very patient, kind, and compassionate. My dream job is a veterinarian Right now I’m in school but I graduate on June 25th and then in the month of July I work 9-12 at my summer camp so anytime after that I am free My two cats and one dog are super friendly to any new visitors. I try to spend as much quality time with the animals because they deserve it

“Matthew and Christianna were excellent — punctual, communicative, and sent regular photo updates. Our dog was very comfortable and not stressed while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a clean, tidy house. For us, it was such a relief to be away and not worry about a thing. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve had many pets since I was young, rabbits, dogs, small rodents and hermit crabs. All have been taken care of in a loving home! I have worked on a lot of training with my chiweenie Paige, who is now almost 10. I have pet sit for friends and family many times and love to meet new animals. I am currently a student at Ramapo College so once a schedule is worked out with clients I can be dependable with timing and consistent Though I may not always be able to board dogs depending on the time of year I can learn your routine with your pets and adapt as needed in your household

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with larger breeds like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos as well as smaller dogs like Yorkies and Mini Poodles, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to fit each dog’s personality and needs. As a student working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide care in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and make sure to follow your pets’ routines closely so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I am a life-long animal lover. I grew up with dogs, a cat, a rabbit and anything else I could convince my parents to house! I've been riding horses since an early age as well. Connecting with animals has always come very naturally to me. I truly enjoy caring for and loving animals. My first job, at the age of 13, was as a daily after-school dog-walker, for my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog, Winston. That 30 minutes was the highlight of my weekdays. Animals and their pet parents have been finding me ever since! :) I work in the school system and my days end at 3:10pm. I am available most weekdays after 3:30pm for drop-in visits and walks. I also have weekend availability. My schedule will be much more open & flexible during the summer! During visits, I focus purely on your pet and his/her needs. Drop-ins are normally feeding, a potty break & fresh air, some playtime, water change, a treat (if that's okay by you!) and of course, lots of LOVE. I will tailor the play activities to your pets preferences and energy level for the best experience. During walks, I will remain consistent with the usual pace and route. My goal is for your pet to receive the right amount of activity & stimulation and feel comfortable and happy in my company. I will always make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and looked after as if he/she is my own. :)

“Jack was anwesome! He came right on time and thoroughly did everything we told him to do. He exceeded all expectations with his care for our dog, Colby. Not only did he ensure Colby’s physical exercise needs were met, but he also went above and beyond by capturing numerous funny photos of Colby during their walk, when he was fed, and when he was playing with him. We're very grateful for Jack's dedication and the joy he brought to both our dog and us. 5 stars!”

“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!”

“Judith went above and beyond taking care of Poochie. She gave her medications and got her up and walking. It was very comforting to know she was in good hands.”
