About: Over 15 years experience running my own pet care company. Trust in my services, and give your pets the best care possible. Loving and reliable. I have plenty of references and a resume I can email to you if wanted. I mostly work from home doing freelance copywriting, so have plenty of free time to do house and pet sitting. I have a reliable car too. I no longer care for pets in my own home, as I moved into a no pets allowed apartment. But I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect.

“Michael was great with our pups!”

About: My Husband and I cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 5 years, from energetic Jack Russells to gentle Siberian Huskies and playful Golden Doodles. My experience spans everything from puppy training to senior dog care, and I specialize in creating a calm, fun, and safe environment especially in my fully fenced backyard, where dogs love to run and play. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and again to love their pets like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just some belly rubs, I’m here to make tails wag and pet parents feel at ease. We have open availability and can provide care that fits your schedule whether it’s daytime walks, overnight stays, or weekend boarding. I work from home part-time, so your dog will never be left alone for long. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Your dog will feel right at home in my secure, fenced yard with plenty of room to play. I have two well-behaved dogs who are great with guests, and I’m happy to crate your pup if needed. I create a calm, structured environment that adapts to your dog’s personality whether they’re high-energy or a little shy.

“Maxine did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, Misty and Brroklyn. She kept in contact with me daily and sent photos as well. I'm a happy owner.”

“Nicole was a lifesaver for our Thanksgiving trip. We recently moved to the area and struggled to find someone to watch our cat while we were traveling. We recently lost one cat a few weeks ago, so we were nervous about leaving her alone after so many years as a two-cat household. Nicole was prompt, and we could tell that Cupboard was well cared for.”

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

“Becky is amazing! You can tell immediately she is an “animal person” by her energy, and I knew our girls would be in fantastic hands. I was extra nervous since one of our kitties has anxiety and is on medication - it’s a lot to ask of someone else to care for her - but Becky was completely unfazed and didn’t hesitate for a minute. I was totally reassured every minute we were gone and was actually able to enjoy my vacation knowing Becky had everything handled. Thank you, Becky!”

About: I worked at a pet store for 2 years where I took care of all kinds of different animals (birds, ferrets, reptiles, bunnies, etc.). I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and I have also been dog sitting and boarding for the past 2 years. I also have lived with dogs my whole life. I’m currently in college commuting only one day a week on Wednesdays until may 7th, so I am unavailable to do walks or pick up after 2 I care for pets in the way that the owner tells me works best for their pets. I don’t deviate from their schedule and care.

“I have used April once, but intend to use her again soon. She is responsive and thorough whenever I contact her. She sent an adorable photo of my dog from her drop-in visit. I feel overall that I can trust that she will be there when she needs to be and do what I have asked of her.”

About: I’m a full time grad student and adjunct professor. I have experience with senior and sick dogs, puppies full of energy, giant and little dogs, cats, birds, and lizards. I have a reliable SUV ready to be filled with pups on their way to the park! Thanks for considering me. I currently work from home and go to school from home as well. I enjoy exercising and taking long, nature walks. I sometimes spend a few hours a day at the library, but have a very flexible schedule. I am respectful of the client’s home and rules for their home and pets. I am hyper vigilant and prioritize the needs of the pet. I am a very safe driver and have never been in an accident, so you won’t have to worry if your pup takes a trip to the dog park.

About: I am a huge animal lover! I was a camp counselor at a daycare/boarding facility where dogs interacted and played together all day. I supervised up to 30+ dogs daily, and I have had hands-on experience with little and big dogs. I fed, cleaned, bathed, and administered medications that don't involve needles. I also have a lot of hands-on experience with cats and fish. I'm a huge animal lover, and I love children as well. I am not able to watch pets in my home, because of the pets I already have. However, I would be 100% willing to stay in your home to care for your beloved family member, or make visits. :)! I'm currently working as a 7th-grade English teacher in the Rockland County area from 9:00-3:40. I'm lucky enough to have awesome work hours that allow me to take care of pets as needed! Currently I can't watch other animals in my home because I have two cats of my own and a new puppy! All 3 of my animals are spoiled rotten! They have so many toys, tons of playtime, and the best of the best quality food and treats! I love my animals like my children, I even had a puppy shower for my new puppy! (Ask me for photos, and I will show you lol!) It's important to me, that your fur baby is comfortable, safe, and well taken care of. I will try my best to mimic your pet's schedule and keep them feeling pawsitively happy!

“1st time meeting Brendan. I was worried my dogs would be nervous with but they immediately loved him. I’m so glad they were comfortable with him, he was on the floor playing and petting them. I’m so grateful my pups will be in good hands when I’m away.”

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

About: Even if it's just a quick drop in for a potty break, I always make sure your pet gets some extra attention & snuggles. I am meticulous about special dietary needs & medication administration. Right now, I am available during the day mon, thurs, fri, and sun. I can also do evenings all week. Hoping to be able to add more availability to my schedule I always make sure that pets aren't able to get out if they aren't secured on a leash, or in a fenced in yard. I make sure to let other dog walkers know if a dog I'm walking isn't friendly. Temperature and terrain is always taken into account when dog walking

I must inform you that at this time I am a student and student teacher who may attend classes during the day; however, the classes are short- usually 30 minutes in length and commuting time is usually 20 minutes. Therefore your dog must be able to be left at home alone for ONE HOUR in a crate for safety reasons. I can adjust my schedule for repeat clients, dogs with crate anxiety or puppies who need continuous care but please make such a request in advance out of respect for my students and mentors. Much appreciated.❤️ -detailed daily report card of how your pet spent their day -due to welfare and health concerns relating to premature spay and neuter, I accept puppies under one year of age who have not yet been spayed/neutered. -doggie playtime and exercise: fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment toys and activities, basic obedience training, basic agility exercises -cat care: scoop litterboxes and sweep and tidy their space, feed, water, keep pet dishes tidy, and TLC and play.
