Dog Walkers in Saddle River, NJ

About: Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have been around dogs my entire life and taken care of countless dogs for friends and neighbors over the years. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy. Theres really nothing like the love of a pet. I am meticulously clean, I am very detail oriented and treat the dogs I care for as if they were my own. I have a few clients I house sit for and will consider on a case-by-case basis if I feel I am the right fit for you and your pet. Thank you! I have a flexible schedule, especially during weekday hours. I am usually available from 9-3 with some weekend availability if needed. Please message for more details. I am only available for in home pet sitting on a case by case basis. I had a long career working with children who have developmental disabilities so I am extremely caring, dedicated, reliable and attention focused.

“I can’t recommend Helene enough! She is incredibly reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. My chunky Staffy Luna loved her the moment she met her and didn't even want to come back to me lol. She gets so excited every time she arrives, and I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in great hands. She even drives her to a trail near my house, ensuring plenty of exercise, playtime, and even sending me updates and photos. If you're looking for a responsible and loving dog walker, Helene is the best and is very accomadating!”

“Eilleen is AMAZING!!! Benji is our little rescue cutie! But he has days where he is a bit unpredictable- He is a cuddle bug on his own terms, can be moody and antisocial. As his "fun" aunt (I'm treat and playtime central haha) you would think he would jump for joy at the chance to take a walk with me but, that isn't the case :( He is very particular about who walks him and only let's his dad walk him. So on days dad is working overtime, I stress about how I will convince Benji to go outside. One Sunday he refused to go out they entire day, not one budge and just hid under the table. Dad was working and I was stressing! Well, Eilleen to the rescue! Upon arrival Benji greeted her at the door, like they were forever friends, hopping, tail wagging and cuddles! In amazement I watch Eilleen put kn his leash with out any hesitation from Benji and in a matter of minutes they were off on their walk together! I am so amazed by the instant connection they have and Eilleens impressive job of caring for him. We are so very thankful!! Thank you Eilleen!!!!!!! You are truly the BEST!!”

“We are so happy with Fionnuala. She was so patient and sweet with my boy. He is a little nervous with new people and he warmed up to her fast. She had very good communication with us and was understanding to all of our dog’s needs. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”

About: I am now home & available to take care of your pets weekdays & weekends !! I just graduated from Rutgers University! I’m available to pet sit, board and walk your dog(s). I am an experienced pet sitter and dog walker and would love to help out !! 😊 I’m currently available most days, I’m extremely flexible this summer as I am staying here in New Jersey. I can dog/ pet sit on both weekdays & weekends :) If your pet stays with me for the day or the week(you pick the time frame) they will be allowed throughout my home. Or if you want me to come to your home that’s an option too.

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. There was always a dog in my home when I was a child. Later on, in my own home had raised two dogs and a cat from their earliest days. My sweet Golden Retriever, Milo, was with me and my kids since he was 10 weeks old. He was amazing! Sadly after a year of being sick and fighting a good fight, it became too much for him. My kids & I said goodbye to him with many tears and such a heaviness in our hearts. It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog. I'm home during the day which allows me to have the time to devote to your dogs.i also have two teenage kids who are able to walk and play with him. I live on a quiet dead end street with hardly any cars coming through. I have a nice sized yard which is great for playing and taking in the suns rays(my dog would love to just roll his body over in the grass...lol). So I would being taking care of your precious baby boy/girl as if he/she was my own! I also will only take care of one dog at a time... so YOUR dog will have ALL my attention! I am a very easy going down to earth person.... I'd love to chat with you about your needs and concerns for your dog. Please let me know what I can do to help you ... Talk to you soon! Kathy

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.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, and cows. I have been living with and caring for animals for over 15 years, whether it be for walks, day care or house sitting and overnights. I have a lot of experience with shy, timid and traumatized dogs. I have a lot of patience and respect each animal's needs. I have experience with administering medications and using an e-collar. I am currently in a graduate program. I have full availability most weekends and a flexible weekday schedule around classes. Please check with me about my Thurs/Fri availability as those are my heavier class days. I am a respectful, patient caring individual with lots of love and energy for animals. I am comfortable with crate trained animals, as well as those who sleep in the bed. I will make sure that your animal feels safe and comfortable by reading it's body language and communication around what it needs. I can be extremely affectionate and cuddly and respectful of space depending on what each individual needs. I adore and respect every animal's unique way of expressing themselves, whether it be rolling around tail wagging, nervously keeping to their corner or being a bully and vocal when they want something.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life! In New Mexico we had 5 dogs and 2 cats they were my responsibility to keep fed, happy, healthy! I have years of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am comfortable around even the biggest and the friendliest dogs. Can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working from home but have pretty flexible time constraints. Which means I have plenty of time to play with furry buddies! I often will take walks to nearby local parks or trails, and I am early riser so there is allot of flexibility in my schedule. We have a large backyard that with a fenced up play pen and have had several dogs in the house so plenty of left over toys and stuff to chew on. I have sat dogs with crates but unfortunately do not have one on the property.
