House Sitting Upper Saddle River

“Eric was a fantastic dog sitter He took my dogs to the park got caught in rain yet to manage to get them toweled off and dry. He was very pleasant and responsive to communications. Would definitely recommend him again.”

“We have had Max for 6 years and have always been lucky to have a family member nearby, until now. Elizabeth was amazing! Max fell in love with her during their first meeting. She stayed at the house and walked, fed and played with him. While we were away, she would check in at least 2x per day with a message from Max and pictures, which put my mind at ease immediately. Max was happy and healthy when we got home. We look forward to having Max's new BFF come to take care of him again!!”

“She was great with our pups. One fairly energetic, but in need of calm because he was recovering from knee surgery, and the other a 17 year old diva who is mostly blind and mostly deaf. Will definitely book again.”

“Maddie was by far the best dog sitter. I have two golden retrievers that love to run, play fetch and go on hikes. She did all of the above and more. she sent me pictures, took the dogs hiking at the reservation, they went on 2 mile walks, played fetch and were very well taken care of. She is kind, respectful, communicative, and truly loved our fur babies. I highly recommend her. I will definitely hire her when we travel. I cannot thank her enough!! 🩷🦴🐾🦮”

About: I bring over 15 years of devoted experience caring for dogs of every personality and age. From energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch, I've been the person neighbors, friends, and families trust to provide calm, reliable, heart-centered care. What sets me apart is my patience, and my ability to make every dog feel safe, seen, and loved. I can assure you they are being cared for with genuine attention and compassion. Pet care fits natural into my weekly routine because I run my own business and have flexibility. I am able to coordinate the needs of your pet with you on an individual basis. I am very reliable, responsible and loving. Your pet will be treated with the same attentive, loving care I would expect. I provide pet care directly in your home, where your dog feels safest and most comfortable. I follow routine closely to keep everything familiar and stress-free. My focus is on creating a calm, secure environment in your space.

“I was so nervous about leaving our dog. My hunting partner. After I met yvette that all went away. She cared for my Izzy like she was hers . Long walks and lots of attention. Def use yvette. I will be again soon.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through regularly dog sitting for my friends and their pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet I care for like my own! I am currently working full time but I have weekends off, and sometimes a day or two during the week so weekends are best but feel free to reach out about weekday availability! I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play. I also have a cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for pets and making sure everyone has a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s individual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love.

About: I love animals, grew up with them since I was a baby, Cats, Dogs, Lizards, Fish, and Birds. I think to me they are people with fur. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them and play with and taking care of them. If I had tell you once thing that makes me who I am, is my heart. I always give 110 percent and I am very upbeat and caring. I am an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and actress, and this is the puurfect side hustle for me! I don’t have a typical 9-to-5 schedule, and my hours are always changing depending on which project I’m working on. This gives me the flexibility to provide loving care and attention to your kitty or dog when you need it most. I would prefer to come to your home so your pet can stay in their own familiar environment, where they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I would always follow the instructions and routines you provide first. If you don’t have any specific instructions, I like to let the pet set the pace. With cats, I’ll give them space and let them come to me when they’re ready. I’ll feed them according to the schedule you recommend, and I’ll spend time getting to know their personality and seeing what they enjoy. If they want to play, I’ll play with them! If they prefer to relax, I’ll let them do their thing while keeping a watchful eye on them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I’ll take them for walks and, when appropriate, we can visit a nearby park to help them burn off some energy. I’ll make sure they have fresh water and food, and I also enjoy working on fun training exercises and basic commands such as sit, down, and paw. This gives them a chance to exercise both their body and their mind. After some play and training, we’ll go for another walk to help them wind down and get ready for bedtime. And if you have me stay over to the next day I will work on a schedule you set forward. Depending on what type of dog breeds need different type of support.

About: I have been a zoo keeper for the past 3 years, and have worked with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and have lived with a yellow lab. I have spent time looking after family and friends’ pets many times before! I am currently in between zookeeper jobs and am available most days. Thank you! I am experienced with dogs, cats, and many household pets. Very experienced with birds, rodents, and small mammals as well. I do not have the availability to house pets at my home, but I am very willing to travel to the destination that is needed!

“Melissa was wonderful with our new tiny Maltese puppy Penny. She was loving and patient with Penny and we look forward to having her come stay with Penny again in our home.”

“Lisa is fabulous! This is the first time we left our puppies to go away. Lisa took such great care of our babies. She was super attentive and would send updates throughout the day. I recommend her as a sitter and look forward to working with her in the future when we need care for our pups!”

Jennifer L.

“Tatiana was AMAZING!!! our puppy Willow has a pretty bad separation anxiety, but with Tatiana she may have forgot all about us. Constant text/pictures/updates made us feel so comfortable, as well as amazing communication throughout the sitting. 10 out of 10!! Couldn't be happier.”

David B.

“Lisbeth has been a great dog sitter. She took care of two dogs and did a great job with everything. She provided updates every day and sent doggy photos. Both of our dogs loved her.”

About: I have watched pets most of my life of friends, and family. I take the time to get to know their personalities, routines, and special needs, because I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I have a traditional 9–5 job Monday to Thursday and work from home on Fridays. Morning would feed and walk. Lunch would be midday walk, which my job is about 10 minute from home. Evening would be walk, spending play time and evening feeding. Weekends I’m home spending time with pet. I have plenty of room to accommodate your pets space. I can also crate if you want. I also have a large front yard for play time. There are sidewalks all through town, which is close to my home for walks.

“Christy was great!! We were very happy with her services. She sent us regular pup dates and photos of our girls throughout the weekend. Would highly recommend”

About: I have owned dogs most of my life, always showering them with the love and care they deserve. Now, I want to do the same for your pups! My wife and I both work full time out of the house (I’m in the office four days a week and work from home on Friday), and our kids are in school, so I am available Friday, Saturday and Sunday and over holiday weekends. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog, so your dog will be housed safely, and will have a four-legged friend to play with. I take my dog on frequent walks and would be excited to take yours along with us.

About: I am a life-long animal lover. I grew up with dogs, a cat, a rabbit and anything else I could convince my parents to house! I've been riding horses since an early age as well. Connecting with animals has always come very naturally to me. I truly enjoy caring for and loving animals. My first job, at the age of 13, was as a daily after-school dog-walker, for my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog, Winston. That 30 minutes was the highlight of my weekdays. Animals and their pet parents have been finding me ever since! :) I work in the public school system and my days end at 3:10pm. I am available most weekdays after 3:30pm for drop-in visits and walks. I also have weekend availability. I am available for house sitting throughout the entire year. My schedule and availability for walks and drop-in visits is more flexible during the summer months! During visits, I focus purely on your pet and his/her needs. Drop-ins are normally feeding, a potty break & some fresh air, playtime, water change, a treat (if that's okay by you!) and of course, lots of LOVE. I will tailor the play activities to your pets preferences and energy level for the best experience. During walks, I will remain consistent with the usual pace and route. My goal is for your pet to receive the right amount of activity & stimulation and to feel comfortable and happy in my company. I will ALWAYS make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and looked after as if he/she is my own. :)

About: I've always had a passion for animals and have enjoyed caring for them throughout my life. I currently specialize in cat sitting, bringing 6 years of experience to ensure your feline friends receive the best care. While I do offer services for dogs as well, my primary focus right now is on providing dedicated services for cats. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of the time to play with your dogs and cats. I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and 1 friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company and I’m happy to assist with your pets' needs.

“I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”

About: Hi! My name is Christina. I grew up having a Siberian Husky named Tonya and later a Bichon Frise named Daquiri. Pets have always been a part of my life. In my early 20's I took an incentive to relocate down south where I adopted Franky, a pitbull/husky mix puppy. Anyone who knows me knows that my world revolved around my dog. If my dog couldn't come, I wasn't going. 'You won't ever see Chris without that dog, who brings a dog to a hair appointment?" Yup.. that's me. Franky had such an impact on my life that she even was responsible for steering my career. Formerly regional leadership for Banfield Pet Hospital I was responsible for Learning and Development for the largest veterinary practice in the world with over 900 hospitals in 51 markets. (Annnd... Yes, my dog got to come to work with me!) My best friends and former colleagues range from medical directors within the veterinary field to Brandon Mcmillan from CBS Lucky Dog (animal trainer). There's no shortage of emergency contacts in my phone to reach out to which came in handy when Franky, my 17yr old Pitbull/Husky was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Almost 9 months ago now I made the heart wrenching decision to have Lap of Love come to my home and end Franky's suffering when it was clear she was losing her battle with cancer. It's bringing tears to my eyes now and I don't want to be the most depressing profile which leads me to you. While i'm not quite ready for another dog of my own as no one can replace Franky, I get so much enjoyment from being around animals that watching other peoples' pets has been healing and a source of comfort. I think it's safe to say I was a little over protective and needed my own pet sitter when traveling to and from headquarters in Portland, Oregon. At the time, Deb was a God send and I was so grateful to have found someone who understood me and my pet and I hope that I can be that to you and yours! I'm excited to meet you both! After leaving Banfield as a result of increased travel I went into business for myself. I currently only work from home and no more than a couple days a week. As you can imagine it can get lonely and I look forward to having your pet come stay with me. I try to stay active and walk daily to a nearby hiking trail. It's a good walk it takes about an hour and there is a dog park within the trail which is nice for dogs who get along well with others and are healthy enough to participate. Even when they don't get along with others sometimes if you go in the evening closer to dusk the park is empty and its nice to play fetch within the fenced in area. I live in an apartment but don't allow that to fool you, we have a huge courtyard and as I mentioned there is a hiking trail and dog park nearby to keep busy.
