Pet Sitting in Tallman

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Joseph as our very first dog sitter! Leaving our dog Skye with someone new was not an easy decision—she’s extremely protective of me, not very social, and her size can be intimidating. But Joseph handled her with calm confidence and patience. To our surprise (and relief), she warmed up to him faster than we imagined. Once she connected with him, we knew we had found someone special—Skye doesn’t give her trust easily, but when she does, you’ve got a loyal friend. Even our shy cat Anona, who typically hides from strangers, came out every time Joseph was around. That alone spoke volumes. Joseph truly has a gift with animals, and we’re so grateful for the peace of mind he gave us. We’re absolutely happy to use him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents looking for someone they can trust”

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

“Second time booking taylor and she was great watching my fluff. She followed all instructions very well and is very professional. Definitely recommend her for your pups/ animals!”

“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.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

“Oakley had a good walk with Jamie who was very nice and friendly with Oakley!”

“Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.”

“Elizabeth is a FANTASTIC pet sitter. She watched my 2 cats through visits for 4 days. She was punctual, trustworthy, and careful in my house. She sent me daily updates on their care and send tons of pics of them. She loves animals and she loves her work. I will definately have her to watch my fur babies again!”

“Emma went above and beyond in her care of Stevie. She communicated frequently and left plenty of photos. It was great to know that Stevie was well cared for.”

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. Every morning, the dogs get a long 1-2 hour walk on a local forest trail (weather permitting) and in the afternoon/evening we have a shorter 15-30 minute walk around the neighborhood or in my backyard. 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!

“Amazing as usual! Alyssa always makes sure I’m updated and sends pictures after each visit. I’m so grateful she was available on such short notice and took wonderful care of my cats. Highly highly recommend!”

“Monica had been the best dog help we could dream of. our Charli loves her so much. We booked her for 8 days of drop in visits, and every day that she was with our Charli she takes lots of pictures and write notes of what she did to Charli ( like a summary of her visit) , which me and my hubby really loved. We are booking her again june to november while im away for travel work… we love you Monica”

“David did drop-in visits for me while I was traveling for work. He was polite, professional, and friendly. My boyfriend and my cats approve! Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

“Danielle was great during the drop in visit with my dogs and took the time to go above and beyond to make sure they were both taken care of before leaving. She is very attentive and I’ll definitely be booking her again for future visits and walks!”

“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”

About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! I have experience with pets of all personalities — from sassy calicos with lots of attitude to nervous, anxious furry friends who need extra patience and love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! :) I work full time so I have the most flexibility on Friday-Monday. For weekdays I am available 6am-8am and 5pm-8pm. On Mondays and Fridays I am also available between 12-2. I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses every day. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs — whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or full of attitude!

“She took great care of my dog and made him feel comfortable!!”

“Omg! If you have not booked Joe already, you are missing out. Not only is he a wonderful person but he took care of my girls like they were his own. This is my first time hiring a dog walker and I was definitely a little nervous with the idea but Joe made the transition seamless and stress free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🙏 Thank you Joe for everything 🙏❤️”

About: PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: - I require a meet and greet for all new clients before accepting bookings, I want to get to know you and your pets! - I schedule at LEAST a 15 minute buffer between all visits to provide timely, consistent and quality care, but it could be longer, can’t be too careful!! - Your pet’s health and safety always comes first. I will never take on anything I’m not fully confident handling or that I believe could be unsafe or unhealthy. - I also have to make sure I stay safe in every situation, because I can’t properly care for your pets if I’m not in a safe and healthy position myself! I have several years of dog and cat sitting experience and I am also a life long dog owner, which has given me a deep understanding of dog care and companionship. I’ve also had many years of cat care experience! I’m especially experienced with senior annimals and those who are sick or disabled, and I approach their care with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I am also an AKC Certified dog groomer and completed four years of coursework in animal science and animal behavior.

I will make sure to love your babies just like my own!! I also specialize in reptile and exotic care if needed, I love them all!! I currently work part-time mornings and nights, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m typically available Mondays and Fridays during the day between 11am and 3pm. I do not usually work holidays since I’m often not around during those times, but exceptions can sometimes be made, never be afraid to ask me!! Alongside this, I have professional experience in animal sitting and have cared for a wide range of pets over the years. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and I bring patience, reliability, and real hands on experience to every visit. Whether it’s daily care, check ins, or extra attention for pets with special needs, I make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own! I provide calm, reliable, and attentive pet care with real heart. I treat every animal like my own, taking time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress free from the start. I’m highly adaptable and can follow just about any routine, always going the extra mile to make sure every need is met. I promise to take my time to really learn you and your pets routines and preferences so I can provide the best care and services possible! I also support and maintain any training already in place in the home to keep consistency for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra care for senior or special needs pets, I show up consistently, pay close attention, and always put my best foot forward to keep both you and your babies happy and at ease!!
