About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.

“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!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, I am caring, compassionate, and will treat them as one of my own. I understand the stress you may have to leaving your puppy behind. I will make sure they’re well taken care of, and feel comfortable and baby and spoil them. I am a teacher and I am home early and can provide late afternoon and evening Walks. For dogs that are comfortable staying home alone. I am available all during the week I can give them a walk in the morning and then again late afternoon. I am free on weekends. I have a large fenced in yard that your dog is welcome to run and play in. I have my own little Chihuahua Yorkie mix, so your dog must be friendly. I have a large fenced in yard to provide lots of outdoor and playtime. I have my own small dog who is friendly. your dog will be allowed to roam throughout my house or if they need more restraints, I have a room with a doggie gate that they can stay in. They will be allowed on furniture.

“Shirley was great. She communicated and sent comforting pictures from her visit with our cat. We are very grateful for her service and will use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My hands-on experience started in 2015 with my cat Mittens (now 10) and my dog Fluffy (also 10), so I understand the long-term care and attention pets need at every stage of life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I worked at an animal hospital for a year and a half, where I gained valuable experience in animal care. This included feeding pets with special diets, following specific care instructions, and supporting animals with different needs. My combination of personal and professional experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I look after! I am currently home for the summer from college would like to dedicate my afternoons to my future furry friends! I am flexible, so if there is any shifting/accommodations that has to happen that is fine. I care for pets in my client’s home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and kept in their normal routine while their owner is away. I follow all specific instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication if needed, and exercise routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they don’t feel stressed or lonely. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean. I will always provide updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away--I know what its like to miss my pets too!

“Eric is great with our cat, easy to work with, very professional. Highly recommended!”

About: I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Apart from my current two dogs, I've also raised three previous dogs from being a puppy into their senior years. I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement training, every dog deserves the utmost love and care. I own my own business and set my own hours so I can accommodate anyone's pet care needs. I'm fine with short notice requests and can work with anyone's schedule! I have two dogs that can run around freely in my fenced in backyard. They each get at least two solo shorter walks (about 15 minutes around the park we live next to) per day and an additional longer walk (around 45-60 minutes) once my girlfriend gets home from work where we walk both together.

About: I have 2 years of experience working at a doggy daycare facility, as well as taking care of my own dog for 7 years. I have worked with dogs of all temperaments, and am good at handling dogs of all sizes! I am working throughout the summer, however I have weeks off where I am fully available, as well as being available before 8:00am and after 4:30pm every day, and I am fully free on weekends. I have experience taking care of all different kinds of dogs, and I can adjust my care to suit your dogs specific needs and preferences

About: As a pet owner myself with 3 pets of my own I understand the importance of making sure your pet is in safe, reliable hands. I personally have a senior Russian blue cat, a beautiful red cockapoo, and a holland lop rabbit. As per my animal care history i’ve walked a plethora of different breeds from tiny shih tzu and teacup yorkies, to large and strong breeds like pit-terriers and great danes. I’ve watched many different kinds of cats each with unique personalities. I am not afraid of large dogs or cats with claws, I have an educational credit for Animal Behavior and passed an Animal Behavior course in 2022. I am well versed in administering medications such as topical ointments or oral supplements, and I have cared for many pets that have either temporary, actively healing, or permanent injuries that require delicate care and a much more focused and attentive walk. I have also worked with pets that have aversions to men, children, loud noises, or other animals. I am a lover of all kinds of animals and enjoy being able to spend my time making their days a little brighter, and their owner’s days a little easier! I can’t wait to work with you and your favorite fluffy pal! I am currently a student at Montclair State University so my schedule will vary depending on my class schedule. I have classes throughout the summer Mon-Thurs so as it stands I am available on weekends throughout the day, and Mondays and Thursdays after 3:30 pm (my classes end at 3pm). This schedule is subject to change with fall class schedules. When conducting pet care in a client’s home my m.o. is strictly following house rules. If your little furry friend is used to daily outside time, and is allowed outside, then supervised outside time is a must to keep them happy. But they are not allowed outside or on the furniture, just as much fun can be had playing or getting belly rubs on the floor and off the couch! Walks will depend on the time you request that they last for, however I always go at the dog’s pace and allow them to get all of their sniffs and business done so they can be fully taken care of by the time you return. I not only want your pet to be happy and healthy but I want you to be able to leave your pet at home with no stress so you can focus on the day ahead, and return to your four-legged family members stress free!

“Janayah is a lovely cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She read and followed all my instructions and took good care of my cat Luna. She provided a couple photos each visit. She played with Luna, kept the litter tidy for her, made sure her food plates were cleaned out and rotated. She has been very responsive in her communication and handled everything well while I was away on vacation. I came back to seeing everything neat and clean in the house as well.”

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I currently have two dogs I walk and board as well as a dog at home. I’m committed to keeping the dogs in my care safe, and making sure they are having a great time. Currently I have a pretty open schedule and could work with you on the details. Available 7 days a week, days and nights. Long term or short term. I walk the dogs two or three times a day. Often walk the woods in the reservation and use the dog park. My yard is fenced in and private. Have dog at home (Messi) who loves dogs and company. If you’re more comfortable having your pet caged, we can make arrangements for that or whatever makes you comfortable.

Doug & Luiz Pet care is part of our everyday routine. One of us is home throughout the day so dogs receive consistent supervision and attention. Our mornings usually begin around 6 AM with potty breaks, feeding, and short walks. Throughout the day we rotate outdoor time, play sessions, and rest periods depending on each dog’s energy level. Because our home is set up specifically for dog boarding and daycare, we can easily adjust routines for medications, feeding schedules, extra potty breaks, or dogs that prefer quieter space. Dogs staying with us enjoy a safe and comfortable home environment with plenty of supervised attention. We have a large fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and an additional floor of our home is dedicated to the dogs. This allows us to separate guests when needed and provide quiet space for dogs who prefer their own area. We follow each dog’s routine closely and take time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort level so they can settle in quickly.
