Pet Sitting Upper Saddle River

“Katie was incredible! This was our first time leaving our new rescue cat for a couple of days, and she eased my nerves immediately. She is reliable and trustworthy. Our little guy was so happy to have her company. She played with him and sent us updates. Would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a kind and confident sitter!”

“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.”

About: Thank you for stopping by my profile! Let's get to know each other. Please read through my profile and hopefully it will answer any questions you may have about my service! 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 includes 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! Fun stay for your dog while you are away! Welcome! I am so happy you’re considering my home for your furry family member. I am a loving pet owner with a genuine passion for animals, and believe that when your dog stays with me, they should feel like they’re on vacation—a fun, staycation away from home! I have a senior dog called Texas who is a little sheriff around here! She likes to watch the scene as it makes her feel like part of the action. At nearly 18 years old, she is still going strong and wants to just do doggy things! By having other dogs around, it keeps her active and mentally stimulated. My home is a warm, clean and comfortable space. I offer lots of attention, affection and fun! WHY DOGS LOVE STAYING WITH ME I provide a safe home environment where dogs become part of the daily lives of my family. Your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax. Because I spend so much time at home, your dog won’t simply be dropped off and left alone for long periods. They’ll be part of the action! Every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know each guest and their unique personality, routine, and preferences. I have a lot of experience with many different breeds of dogs. We like to think of our dogs as perfect but they all have that little things they do! I know their quirks (I see you counter surfers!) and emotional needs (I see you doodles!) It is very helpful to know all about your pet before they arrive here for their stay. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, loves long walks, enjoys making new friends, or would rather curl up for a cozy nap. Also, if they eat tissues, or garbage dip or counter surf? We can accommodate all different personalities with proper notice. Not everyone is perfect! I will do my best to make them feel comfortable and happy. We can also discuss at quick 15 minute meet and greet which is required for any boardings with me. For first time guests on longer stays over 7 days, an overnight experience is required. (Exceptions can made for out of town guests or emergencies!) A TYPICAL DAY A stay with me includes plenty of opportunities for: * Outdoor potty breaks and fresh air * Playtime and enrichment * Walks and exercise * Relaxation and cozy nap time * One-on-one attention * Plenty of cuddles and affection * Supervised social time with other compatible dogs Drop-offs can be a range of emotions for your dog- from excited, to curious to overwhelm as they enter a new situation. I have guided even the most frightened dog to love coming to my home! I love seeing each dog’s personality shine as they get to know and trust me! I TREAT EVERY DOG LIKE FAMILY I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will reassure you that your pup is having a good time with communication that includes updates and photos/videos. I love sending updates and photos so you can see your dog enjoying their stay. You can relax knowing your furry family member is receiving lots of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and excited to come back! WHAT TO BRING To help your dog enjoy a comfortable stay, please bring: * Regular food including favorite snack * Special bed * Any necessary medications * A leash, collar, or harness * Any important instructions regarding their routine I have plenty of bowls, blankets, and doggy bags, so there’s no need to overpack! Bring as little or as much as your pup needs. Whether you’re traveling, heading out for the day, having a dinner party or simply need someone trustworthy to care for your best friend, I would love to welcome them into my home. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! While I am 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. 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.

“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: Dependable, attentive animal lover providing safe, engaging visits/walks tailored to your dog’s needs. Excellent communication, punctual, and genuine care for every pet! Can’t wait to meet your pet. I am looking forward to meeting new pet friends on the weekends. I get so much joy out of helping animals stay safe and healthy. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I provide a safe, clean environment, plenty of attention, and regular photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“How much do you value Peace of Mind? When I viewed Joe caring for our Cooper, I could really begin enjoying my vacation. Joe and Cooper became great buddies. Watching the videos was entertaining and enjoyable. Thank you, Joe.”

About: i'm lisa. i have a big heart for animals and would love to help take care of yours. i have a cat, maple, who is my best pal. my main experience with pet care is dog walking and pet sitting in the owner’s home. i cannot pet sit in my own home, as it would make my cat uncomfortable. feel free to reach out! i work full time during the week but am available weekends, occasional weeknights, and a weekday here and there if i take the day off. my condo is on the third floor (one set of stairs) and is pet friendly. we have space to hang out, do some bird watching, and go for walks around the complex.

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. 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!

“Megan was wonderful! Our cat is naturally skittish and takes time to warm up to people, but Megan’s gentle and caring nature made her feel comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We’re so grateful to have found Megan and would happily book her again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets while working with children and families. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I’m responsible, attentive, and dependable.Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or companionship, I’ll provide loving care while maintaining their routine. I treat every pet as my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for you and your pet. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day.I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any other care they may need. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet’s environment stays clean, safe, and comfortable. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and comfort level. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated with the same love and care I would want for my own.

“The girls loved Maya! She was attentive and caring. She also worked through some miscommunication between us very well. I thank her for her responsiveness.”

About: I have been volunteering with animal rescues since I was in high school along. I have spent my college years volunteering with the local animal shelter walking their dogs to relieve them of time in the shelter. On these walks I take the time to work on basic skills and socialization. I recently completed my MBA this summer, and would love to help you out with any of your pet care needs! I just started working full time, so I am available Fridays through Sundays for anything your pet may need! I work local so no need to worry about time constraints. I have previously handled multiple different dogs in different situations. I always aim to make the animal feel the most comfortable in every situation. I plan to care for your pets on your own terms whether that be in your own backyard or on walks near your house.

“Corinne is the best! Rocket is my little love muffin and it’s so nice knowing he’s getting taken care of when I have to work nights. She’s great!”

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.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was very young, I’ve always had a huge love for all animals and I’ll treat your fur babies like their mine! I’m your go-to weekend pet sitter! I currently work a full-time 9–5 job during the week, which allows me to dedicate my weekends to providing attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and some Mondays so feel free to ask me and I enjoy spending my free time making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel most at ease. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I prefer providing care in my clients’ homes. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I always make sure to follow their regular feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions provided by their owners. Safety and cleanliness are very important to me, and I make it a priority to respect both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I also believe communication is key, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
