Pet Sitting Saddle River

“Katie was extremely thorough and timely in her check-ins on our cat, Grits. Every update was thoughtful and reassuring and we came home to a happy cat. Really appreciated that he got some playtime and attention while we were away and made it so much easier for us to have a relaxing first family vacation! Thanks again, Katie!”

“Sam did a great job with our two cats. One was rather timid and he worked with her over the booking to get her from only eating on the stairs, to eating in the kitchen where she normally eats. We appreciated his patience with the cats and his willingness to play with them every day as they are very curious and energetic!”

“Joannie is a kind and nurturing. She was respectful of my shy guys comfort zone and took good care of my little dog. Joannie did drop in visits for my older timid Yorkie and worked hard to try to win him over. Would recommend her and plan to use again in future.”

About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.

“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!”

About: I am a well-rounded professional with experience in veterinary care, pet sitting, fostering, as well as owning and caring for various animals since I was very young I am available in the evenings during the week for pet care and on Saturdays after 2pm for drop ins and various pet care visits. I am happy and honored to care for all of these pets as if they were my own. I am passionate about providing a safe and compassionate experience.

“She took very good care of my dogs, bashful as the one is. Took nice pictures, did everything we agreed upon, Roomba was happy to have a new friend, and Susie was happy in her own way.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies who need lots of exercise to older dogs who prefer slower walks and plenty of attention. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and play routine is followed closely and keep owners updated with photos throughout their pet’s care. Punctual, gentle, patient, and dependable. Typically will be able to spend at least 30 minutes with your pet for a drop in visit and more if they need to be walked, or watched for longer. Flexible with timing. I’m currently in grad school and have a flexible schedule to provide care for your pet, whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure doors, gates and other areas are secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my 2 dogs, Ender and Petra. From the very start, communication was excellent. Maria was responsive, attentive, and made sure to keep me up to date. I reviewed photos and saw how happy and relaxed both pups were. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and professional. Will certainly book again! 🐾”

“This was my first time trying Rover & I’m extremely pleased?. Cynthia took the time to come & meet Blue and he loved her from the start. That made me very at ease because I was leaving the country for 9 days & he's never been left alone or with other ppl. She followed all instructions given & sent a video of him after each visit. He was his normal self & displayed no signs of anxiety ??. I will definitely be using Cynthia again for ALL upcoming vacations. ❤️”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with both cats and dogs and always having pets as part of my family. I currently have four cats, a dog, and a horse of my own, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life. My cats require medications, so I’m comfortable administering medication and following specific care routines and instructions. Having cared for animals for so many years, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and will always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat every pet I care for like one of my own! I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of attention at a variety of times, and I’m happy to work around whatever schedule your pet is most comfortable with. With four cats, a dog, and a horse of my own, caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I understand that every pet has their own schedule and needs, so I’m very flexible and can accommodate early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and other times as needed. My goal is to make things as easy as possible for you while keeping your pet’s normal routine consistent. My home is very pet-friendly and already set up with animals in mind! Since I have pets of my own, I’m used to creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where animals can relax and feel at home. There’s plenty of space for your pet to play, lounge, and get lots of attention throughout their stay. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any other special instructions you may have. I can also provide separate spaces when needed, especially for pets who prefer some quiet time or need a little extra time to adjust to a new environment. Above all, I want your pet to feel like part of the family while they’re here. They’ll receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and individualized attention so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for just like one of my own.

“Maggie is very kind, patient and loves animals. My Tella was well taken care for, lot of attention, cuddles and play time! This makes me very happy!”

About: I’ve cared for and loved dogs of all ages and sizes my whole life. In addition to fostering several pups over the years, I’m a proud rescue owner! I own my own business and work from home. Currently I am responsible for school drop-offs and pick-ups but am free for pet care throughout the day. I have a fenced in back yard and friendly puppy to keep your dog company. I’m comfortable crating a dog in the home if needed.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, I even started my own neighborhood dog-walking service, handing out flyers and building relationships with local families who trusted me to enter their homes and walk and care for their dogs regularly. I’m extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I’m active, dependable, and patient, and my background in coaching has made me very responsible, consistent, and comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners always feel comfortable and updated while their pet is in my care. I currently work remotely, which gives me flexibility for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m especially available in the mornings, midday, and early afternoons, and I can often accommodate recurring weekly schedules. I’m also available for select evenings and weekends depending on the booking. I take every pet’s safety and routine seriously. I’m comfortable entering clients’ homes, following detailed feeding and care instructions, handling leashes and harnesses, and caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets supervised, and provide updates so owners know their pet is safe and well cared for.

“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”

About: Hi there! I can’t wait to welcome your pet into my home. Dogs and cats who stay here are treated like guests of honor, with all the care and attention I bestow upon my own pets. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, pets are allowed to roam freely in a cozy, familiar home environment — no rows of kenneled dogs here! I’m very selective about the pets I accept. I usually only accept a maximum of 3-4 dogs at once. I meet every new pet before booking, and I usually won’t accept more than one new dog at a time, alongside repeat clients. This ensures that I’m familiar with how all the dogs will interact with each other, with only one new variable, thus avoiding potentially uncomfortable or dangerous situations for your pet. I’ve always loved animals, and with more than 15 years of pet care under my belt, I have the knowledge and experience to provide your pets with the best care possible. I take the responsibility of caring for your pets very seriously, and I’m certified by the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid. Earliest drop off or pickup is at 8 am. Latest drop off or pickup is at 8 pm on weekdays, 9 pm on weekends. I’m also available for drop-ins at your home, every day except Saturday mornings. (I’m available Saturday evenings instead.) For Dogs: I have a large, unfenced backyard that dogs love exploring on a 50-foot long leash - so many scents to sniff and chipmunks to chase! I’m always there to monitor them - dogs are never left alone outdoors. Water is always available, and I work from home so I’m around the majority of the day to keep them happy and safe. What you’ll need to send: Their regular food is the most important thing to send, as dogs can get upset stomach from sudden dietary changes. You can also send their favorite treats, and a favorite toy. If they tend to pull on the leash, a front-latch harness, rubber-tipped prong collar, or gentle leader is appreciated. Bowls, beds, brushes, litter bags etc. are all unnecessary, as I have extras of all these supplies. For puppies, a crate may be necessary, depending on their level of potty training. For Cats: The cats have a comfy lounge downstairs, with food, water, litter boxes, and scratching posts. The dogs are not allowed downstairs, so the cats can get all the space they need from the dogs. The cats are free to move upstairs and downstairs as they prefer. All cats are indoors only. I have a lot of wide, accessible windowsills that they love chilling on to watch birds and squirrels outside, as well as battery-operated and automated toys that they can chase and play with on their own. What you’ll need to send: their regular food (wet and dry) and treats. Cat litter is also appreciated. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m home most of the day. I have a spacious home that can accommodate giving multiple animals space, and I can keep animals separated from each other if necessary. I've always loved animals of all kinds, and I currently have my own dog and 3 cats. I can't wait to meet your pet, and I promise to love them and care for them the way every pet deserves to be loved!

About: I grew up caring for 2 dogs and 2 cats, as well as pet sitting for friends and family! Even though some have passed away now, the fur babies always leave a print on my heart. While I am unable to house pets where I reside, my heart is ready to meet new friends on my traveling journeys! I work remotely as and English/ESL teacher, so my schedule remains flexible to meet all pet needs and responsibilities. I have yet to run into a schedule that I could not tailor to my current workload and personal needs. Due to my flexibility, I have no issues waking up early and being around for specific care requests that are needed through the day. All of my previous engagements have felt confident and felt pleased with the attention, safety and comfort I am able to provide with the consistent presence.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for several years, both my own pets as well as family and friends. I have experience with all different sizes of pet and temperament, as well as different ages of pets from puppies/kittens to senior animals. I currently have availability M-F 3:30-9pm during the week, the weekends I have much more flexibility for any time of the day or night! I have a fenced yard at my home with lots of space to play outside! My home is also right by a park that is very friendly for pets. I can also crate animals in your home if needed.
