House Sitting in Upper Montclair

“Elissa was so great when she house sat for us to watch our cat and dog. She sent plenty of updates and made sure she had all the information she needed, like double checking the feeding schedule and making sure there were no medications to administer. Will definitely see if she’s available the next time we need help with the pets!”

“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and I am looking to spend my time studying and taking the MCAT. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old and have always had pets in my home. From playful Golden Retrievers to energetic Jack Russells - and cats with all kinds of personalities - I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care that keeps pets happy and safe. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick to their usual routines, and be available for last-minute or extended care when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I provide lots of attention, playtime, and affection, while also making sure their feeding, walks, and any special care needs are handled exactly as instructed. I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would my own.

“Absolutely the best pet and home sitter I have ever used. Communicative, caring, and clearly loves pets. My home was immaculate and my pups happy. 10/10 STARS”

“From start to finish, Gordon did an excellent job. He was right on time, took excellent care of my dog Pepe, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures that truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Pepe was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Gordon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.”

“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”

About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.

“She helped us incredibly with everything we asked for and took very good care of our son.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, caring for animals truly brings me joy. While I’m especially intuitive with body language and behavior, my experience extends to caring for a wide variety of pets over many years. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always approach care with patience and respect. I’m very comfortable with large or reactive dogs and have experience handling 100+ lb dogs confidently and safely. I’m physically strong, calm under pressure, and always prioritize control and safety on walks. I’m experienced with shy, energetic, and even “spicy” personalities, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications in a calm, low-stress way. I prioritize both physical and mental enrichment, making sure even the laziest pets get appropriate movement, stimulation, and attention based on their needs. I’m fast to respond, reliable, detail-oriented, and highly attentive. I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and loving care so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work as a professional hairdresser & have an extremely flexible schedule. Mornings nights weekdays weekends you need me I'm there. reliable transportation. Will answer your txt call in .2 seconds. Literally Will leave your home in better shape then you left it! Huge on building a trusting relationship. I Love to organize, clean, or do any tasks in your home you have been putting off don't be shy to ask!!! I’m very comfortable with large or reactive dogs and have experience handling 100+ lb dogs confidently and safely. I’m strong, calm under pressure, and always prioritize control and safety on walks. I keep my house super clean and tidy home no toxic chemicals or things animals can get into. Have a huge cat wall. toys- interactive things to stimulate & entertain. 2 doors to enter so no escapees!!!

“I am soooo happy and grateful I found Erin. She was available on very short notice and went above and beyond expectations. I was so nervous and skeptical trying this service for the first time but after our video chat and seeing all the pics and videos she sent I was able to actually enjoy my vacation. My 1 yr old pup has anxiety and not super socialized but she took to Erin from the minute she walked through my door. Oh and I should mention it rained everyday which is a fete in itself. She made sure my pup and house stayed clean. Idk who was happier with Erin, me or lily! And to top it all off, the next day lily sat and looked out the door all morning looking for Erin to come 🥰 I definitely will be using her again on a regular basis”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are my best friends! Cant wait to make new ones and take care of your furry friends! I’m currently working at a school during the week between the hours of 8:30-3:30 but make sure to plan no events after if I am taking care of a furry friend for longs walks and hangouts! We have a big back yard with lots of space to run around and 2 furry friends that are always around to keep the new furry friends company.

About: Since before I was born my family has loved animals. Weve had beagles, pitbulls, english and american bulldogs, birds, cats, fish, hamsters, and even a rabbit. Growing up I loved being around my pets and learning about them. Whenever anyone has a question about their pet they always come to me because they know I have their pets best interest in mind. I am a student at Montclair state University and I am available Monday through Saturday to take care of any pets. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine ever since I could walk. Growing up there was always at least one animal in my house which fostered my love for animals. For the past six years I have been taking care of a rabbit and two birds so my animal knowledge goes beyond cats and dogs! In my home pets are treated equally to humans! All animals that cross my path will without a doubt be showered in love and affection.
