Dog Sitting Short Hills

About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently at home most of the time which I spend my day with my dog. I take walks daily morning, afternoon, and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that is friendly and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed) I have Pet First Aid/CPR certification for emergencies.

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for years, and both my husband and I grew up with pets. We truly love being around animals, it genuinely makes us happy. We care for pets together, which means extra attention, calm energy, and lots of love in our home. I also have guinea pigs now, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. We treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into our routine. My husband cares for pets with me, and he works from home while I work nearby as a nanny, so one of us is always home. This makes it easy for us to keep dogs on their normal schedule, give them attention throughout the day, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. I take safety and comfort seriously, and my husband and I work together to create a calm, tidy environment where pets can relax and feel secure. We follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, sleep habits, and any special instructions, and we always pay attention to how a pet is feeling so we can adjust as needed. We make sure doors are secured, no unsafe items are accessible, and pets are supervised throughout their stay. With my background in nannying, our experience pet sitting, and both of us being naturally observant and responsible, we’re very careful with every detail. Our goal is for every pet to feel safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while they’re with us.

“Took great care of my cat and spent extra time making sure kitty got enough attention to make up for my absence. Good feedback and pics from visits as well.”

“Xiomara is amazing! Did a really great job of taking care of my two cats, and played with them. My cats have no issues interacting with her, and immediately show interest to her at first intro meeting. She kept house clean and tidy after the visit. Would definitely recommend her and book her again for the future!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also volunteer at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, where I socialize with dogs and cats, take dogs on walks, play with them, and help with their overall care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, providing fresh water, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m an active person, so longer walks and hikes are always a pleasure, especially for energetic dogs! I’m also happy to handle the less glamorous parts of pet care. If your pet has an accident inside the house, I have no problem cleaning it up and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and lots of attention while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits, depending on the day and your pet’s needs. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and longer visits. Safety is always my priority. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash during walks and make sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. Depending on your preferences and your dog’s routine, I can supervise them in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, or bring them to a dog park for some exercise and playtime. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog gets the type of activity they’re used to.

About: I've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need ! Though I've mainly cared for cats, I also have experience with more exotic pets like fish, geckos, and tarantulas. I have a 30gal fish tank of my own ! I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !

“Alex was wonderful in every way!”

“Brittiany was amazing! I needed someone to check in on my pup last minute and she was able to take care of him. She was very gentle and sweet with him. I would definitely book her again!”

“Bianca did a fantastic job sitting for my 2 cats! she always asked for clarification if she needed it, and was a great communicator. I got lots of pics of my fur babies while I was gone, I will definitely hire her again! :)”

“Jiajia was amazing and completely raised the bar on my standards for a cat-sitter. My cat Beans has trouble getting along with other animals/humans, so I was worried she might give Jiajia a difficult time. Fortunately, Jiajia was excellent with Beans and had her in a great mood every visit. Jiajia genuinely cared for my cat and made me feel like Beans was safe and well looked after the entire time I was away. Jiajia sent me full deck of videos + photos for each visit, meaning I had a full album of Beans by the time I came back to town! She was excellent with communication, prompt, and never cut corners with time on her visits. 10/10 experience and would book again!”

About: I’ve cared for my dog(a Maltese poodle mix) for over 6 years now. From potty training to now adulthood. I can also give meds to your dog if special medical care is needed. Do note if injection is needed or close monitoring is needed, rate will be higher. I have a fenced yard that’s over 0.5 acres. Work from home all day. Happy to take them out every 2-3 hours for a play. My house is spacious (over 7000sqft), the doggies will have a log of room to even play inside. I’m only able to care for dogs below 40lbs and this unfortunately will be a hard constraint as I can’t pull back a bigger size dog. if I take care of your dog, you can expect a super super responsible care giver who will cuddle and spoil your furry baby all day long. Please make sure you do pickup/dropoff on time at agreed time. I’m working from home everyday. Happy to board the doggies any day during the week. For dropping in times, please private message me to arrange. I’m generally flexible. Fenced yard for over 0.5 acres. Also taking doggies to walk every day. The neighboorhood is a safe and dog loving neighborhood. I also have a dog of my own.

“Great experience with Natalie. On time, organized, nice, respectful. Thank you very much.”

“We had such a great experience with Kethely! She took wonderful care of our kitty while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind the entire trip. We really appreciated all the updates, photos, and the genuine care and attention she gave him. It made being away from him so much less stressful knowing he was in such good hands. We will and have booked with Kethely again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter 😊! Thank you so much Kethely!”

“Jon is great! He came for a meet and greet before letting my dogs out and kept me in the loop while he was over with my dogs. Definitely booking him again!”

About: I’ve taken care of bigger dogs like mastiffs, greyhounds, and many more. With also maintain strong connections with not only the dogs but the caretakers of these pets. In stressful situations I remain calm and can handle shy or reactive dogs. I’m willing to take dogs on hikes the park or exciting adventures. I’m currently a full time student in New Jersey but I’m constantly back in the city of Washington, D.C. At night I have the most free time during the beginning of the weekdays but towards the weekend my schedule free’s up for any time. I pay very close attention to the pets movement, and signs that it might need sorry or something may be wrong. In both my home and clients home I would apply this as well as on walks.
