About: Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. I grew up with a beloved Maltese who lived to a happy, healthy 17 years old, so I am deeply familiar with the dedicated care, patience, and attention that senior dogs and smaller breeds require. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience pet-sitting a wide variety of breeds and personalities, including: High-Energy & Large Breeds: Mini Goldendoodles Small & Toy Breeds: Toy Poodles, Bichons, and Maltese Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who loves to play or a sweet senior who just wants to curl up next to my desk while I work, I know how to adapt to their specific routine and comfort levels. I live in a fantastic, dog-friendly apartment complex that is perfectly set up for a guest pup’s staycation: On-Site Dog Park: Right inside my complex, perfect for safe, enclosed playtime and socializing (if permitted). Great Walking Paths: Plenty of safe, sidewalk-lined areas right outside my door for frequent, structured potty breaks and refreshing walks. Constant Supervision: Because my job keeps me glued to my home office, your dog will never be left unattended. They will have full run of the apartment, plenty of couch cuddles, and a flexible schedule that revolves entirely around their needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home! Because we both work from home full-time, our entire daily and weekly routine is built around flexibility. We are in the home 24/7, meaning your dog will receive constant, uninterrupted attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Our schedule adapts completely to your dog’s natural routine, not the other way around. If their normal day requires a midday walk, specific feeding windows, or medication, we mirror that exactly. Best of all, because there are two of us, we operate as a team—if one of us is in a deep-focus work meeting or running a quick errand, the other is right there to step in. We are fully available for full-time boarding and dedicated to making our home your pup's favorite staycation. We focus entirely on providing a safe, low-stress, and highly attentive environment in our home. Because we don’t have a resident dog of our own, your pup gets our undivided love and the run of the apartment. Here is exactly how we ensure a safe and trustworthy stay: Continuous Supervision: Since we both work from home full-time, your dog is never left alone or uncrated in an empty apartment. We double-team our schedules, meaning there is always someone available to supervise playtime, monitor behaviors, and offer comfort. A Secure, Tailored Environment: Before any guest arrives, we ensure our apartment is fully dog-proofed. We carefully match our home's setup to your dog’s usual habits—whether they prefer sleeping in a crate, curling up in a dedicated dog bed, or claiming a spot right next to our office desks. Active & Safe Outings: For bathroom breaks and exercise, we utilize the excellent walking paths around our complex. If your dog loves to socialize, we have access to our complex's secure, on-site dog park. However, we only do park play or interactions with other dogs if you explicitly give us the green light. Strict Routine Management: We strictly adhere to the feeding schedules, portion sizes, and potty routines your dog is used to at home to avoid any digestive upset or anxiety.
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”
About: A strong commitment to treating every pet “like you do,” with a satisfaction-focused approach centered on each animal’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. Having 20+ years of professional pet care experience, giving owners confidence that their pets are in knowledgeable hands Paws N Claws Pet Service is a full-time part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day is organized around scheduled pet visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and client updates. Throughout the week, I coordinate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and tailor care to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive reliable, personalized attention. I provide personalized, in-home care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. If needed, I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions and monitor each pet for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog’s 6-night stay. They took such amazing care of her, giving her all her medications on time, playing with her, and even working with her on her walking skills. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She spent her days happily playing with their sweet dog Luna, and the whole environment was so calm, loving, and relaxing. Most importantly, they gave our dog a true feeling of home: warmth, comfort, and so much love. Nicolle and Ronaldo went above and beyond, they even helped us with picking her up and bringing her back, which made everything so much easier for us. We are incredibly grateful for the way Nicolle and Ronaldo treated her. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and we will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
“Neide was so kind and I really felt my dog was in good hands. She's a great communicator and sent plenty of pics and videos. I could tell my dog was very happy in her care !”
About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.
“Starry and Gio were absolutely amazing! They took great care of our dog while we were away. They took many photos and videos of him. We will definitely be using Starry and Gio again!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable adapting to all personalities ~ from energetic and social to more shy or sensitive. Growing up, our home always had multiple dogs, so I’m very used to different temperaments, routines, and dynamics. I’ve also had hands-on experience supporting pregnant dogs and caring for litters, including situations where extra attention and patience were needed early on. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their behavior, energy, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. My own dog is very social and friendly, and since we’re new to the area, she would love to make some new friends as well. I’m happy to care for your dog in whatever way they need ~ whether that’s boarding, drop-in visits, or a relaxed walk around your neighborhood. My goal is always to provide dependable care and make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I look forward to connecting with you! I currently work full-time in a hybrid remote role. I offer my services on days I’m working from home so I can give your dog consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. If you need boarding services, you can expect that your dog would spend their time lounging in my home with me and my dog, Khalesi. We have a fenced-in dog park within the community, but I prefer to take them on long strolls near the grassy areas so they can get plenty of new smells to sniff.
“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”

Cat caregivers near you - Harrison
About: As a cat owner for the past two years, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level. In addition to caring for my own cat, I’ve also spent time around the cats of friends and family, including my sister’s cat over the past three years, giving me experience with a variety of temperaments and routines. I know how important it is to respect each cat’s space, provide a calm environment, and pay attention to the little details that help them feel secure. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to care for their daily needs, I’ll make sure they receive patient, loving care while you’re away.
“Toni was great! My cat, who tends to be shy with new people, loved her. She was punctual, communicated well, and sent lots of pictures and updates while she was watching her.”
“Irene was super communicative and took loads of cute pictures and videos. Both our cats seemed very comfortable with her and we look forward to using her services again 😊”
“We’ve booked with Irisdelie multiple times to care for our cats, Chai & Latte, and she is absolutely wonderful. She’s extremely attentive, very responsive with updates (our favorite to read while away), and it’s clear she truly cares about animals and takes pride in her work. Our cats adore her and we always feel completely at ease when they’re with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Deli is amazing! She provided witty updates, played with my boy, and took extra care to make sure my place looked great when I came home. Absolutely would recommend her!!”
“Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)”
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old husky Rudy and my 2 1 year old Manx cats Remi and Rio. She stayed in my house for a whole week and she took very good care of them. I would definitely be reaching out to her for my next vacation. Thank you so much Karollyne!”
“Jadis was great with my cat, Luna. She read through all my instructions and took excellent care of Luna. I enjoyed the cute photos she took in each of her visits. Luna instantly became friends with her.”
“Neide was THE BEST! Caring and attentive, she also sent frequent photos and videos to reassure me and my kids that our kitty was doing well. Highly recommended”

“Jade is hands down the BEST person i’ve booked on rover!!! My cat has so much anxiety when we leave for vacation and she gained his trust so quickly (even better than family members he’s grown up with)! She sent me multiple updates of my baby each day and made me feel like we really left our boy in the right hands. She even got him a little gift before her stay ended!! truly the kind of person you want in your space and taking care of your fur babies! We would be more than grateful if she would watch our baby again! Thanks again jade!! truly one of the most thoughtful humans!!<3”
“Lilian was amazing! She was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating and my boys absolutely loved her! She made sure to check every detail every day (water fountain levels, whether litter box was clean, what foods they liked more, etc) and was very communicative. She also sent the cutest pics of my cats, which became one of my phone backgrounds 😂 Will definitely book her again!!”
About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).
“What an amazing cat sitter! We have three cats, with very different personalities and he handled all of them wonderfully. We got tons of photos, videos and updates, and felt very confident leaving them in his hands. My wife says he is the Da Vinci of cat sitter photos!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Harrison
“Aishan & Bhumi accomodated my same day request to watch my dog while I had to run a few errands. I really appreciate their timely communication and taking such good care of Fidel. I would trust them to watch him again.”
“I am extremely satisfied with the service I received. Luna was taken care of, very well, and the communication (written/visually) was outstanding! I am very pleased with the attention, and we will be back soon! Thanks very much! We are both very happy Rovers.”
“Jeanette was a great sitter for Mr Pickles! Great communication throughout while she cared for our pet, and very friendly and easy going. Her golden doodle was also great with our furry baby, she kept us up to date throughout the day with pictures and video, totally recommended :)”
“An amazing couple to take care of your pet! Hsin and Phil were very accommodating since I messed up and chose daycare instead of boarding. They still took care of my pup without any issues! I received daily updates and fun photos to keep me updated during my trip. I will absolutely book with them again and recommend them to any pet owner 😁😁”
“Piper had a great first daycare visit and we will definitely be going back! She was given ample alone time to feel comfortable in her new surroundings and she looks very happy in the pictures”
About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.
“This was the last daycare I had with Jennifer before my sweet elderly Xander passed. Xander had come to like Jennifer and over time, started to show excitement when he saw her. So this final rating was given by the dog. Xander had many medical needs and Jennifer accepted all of them. Xander passed yesterday and I contacted her to inform her and thank her. I didn't mention this but I was feeling regret about not checking the box asking for pictures all day long. SHE STARTED SENDING ME PICTURES. I"M CRYING BIG TEARS THANK YOU.”
“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”
“Michelle is great to work with. My pup returned content and tired, which indicates he had a good day. The updates and photos provided throughout the day were appreciated. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years for family and friends, and I’m excited to welcome new furry guests into my home. I provide a calm, loving environment where every dog is treated like family. My sweet Yorkshire Terrier, Nina, enjoys meeting new friends and helps make visiting dogs feel right at home. To ensure every pup has enough space and individual attention, I only accept dogs up to 15 pounds. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. I can easily follow your dog’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. My flexible routine allows me to give each guest the attention they deserve instead of leaving them home alone for long periods. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily strolls, and my home is clean, secure, and designed to help small dogs feel comfortable. Because my space is best suited for smaller pups, I only host dogs up to 15 pounds, ensuring everyone has room to relax and play safely.

“Archie loved his stay with Arley; he had fun at the dog park and was very tired by the end of the day. Arley was very responsive and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. Definitely recommend !”
About: Since a child, home has always been made complete with pets, and that is where a genuine love for animals began within me. I’ve been around different breads and ages, from shitzu to pit bull and puppies to seniors, which gave me a broader understanding in the proper care (feeding structure, walking/exercise, pet proofing environments, etc.) and comfort required for each individual pet. The years of experience that I’ve had with these incredible fur babies has led me to ultimately pursuing my passion in helping others care for theirs! I am currently working from home, leaving me with an overall open and flexible schedule. Pet daycare is available Monday-Friday until 6pm (weekends can be further discussed). Also, due to involvement with my home church, Sundays I typically have to leave for a couple hours in the morning, for anyone interested in pet boarding availability. My home is a pet-proofed, cozy house with a spacious, fenced-in backyard, located near a park only a few minutes away walking distance. There aren’t any children nor any pets at home, creating plenty of space for your pet to safely and freely enjoy! While caring for your pets, I always prioritize following their set schedules as well, in regard to their feeding, exercise, potty, rest, and medication (if necessary). I want every owner to feel peace while they are away, so I make sure to provide consistent communication and photos/videos updates throughout the stay!
“My dogs had a great time with Te and I appreciate that she had availability at the last minute for both of them. She gave me some feeding advice to help my newly adopted dog put in much needed weight and it was super helpful because she's put on most of the weight she needs.”
“Jamin was great and accommodating at the last minute. He was definitely attentive to Yanni's needs and was helpful in getting him acclimated to a new environment. Hands down would book again”

However, I recommend contacting me with specific dates and times you require pet sitting services, so we can discuss availability and ensure I can accommodate your schedule accordingly. Additionally, I am open to overnight stays and extended periods of care if necessary. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's home, my approach remains centered on providing the highest level of comfort, safety, and companionship for the animals entrusted to my care. I have three dogs (two small poodles and one medium sized golden doodle) as well as (two cats).
About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).
“My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.”
About: If you need a kind, positive dog sitter who loves walking a lot, here I am. My grooming certificate is a big plus in case you need nail trimming or having your dog brushed and dead hair removed. Since I work online, my day is flexible so I can walk with your dog and give your pet more attention. Also, waking up early is never a problem. You need to bring his/her food and favorite snacks. I'll give food that you provide according to your dog's schedule. Also, trying to make your dog feel safe is a must for me. His/her favorite toy would help a lot. So, if you could bring a few, it'd be great. I don't allow dogs on my bed. There is a comfy and soft mat.
About: Have experience with shelter dogs as well as puppies; very patient and understands how to read and speak dog. Currently own 2 dogs with different personalities, but love each other. Working from home full time. Have availability throughout the day between meetings. Have my own dog which will need to go out 3x a day minimum. Pets are not allowed on the bed but everything else is either hidden or safe for dogs to interact with. Everything is pre tested by my own puppy.
About: I always look forward to watching the pets of family & friends. Love dogs! As a passionate pet lover, I have spent a lot of my life caring for pets of all ages and needs. I have owned some dogs over the years and have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and sick senior dogs. Additionally, I am often tasked with taking care of my family's pets. Whether feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I have the experience, responsibility, and attention to ensure your pet is happy, healthy well-cared for. With me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is great. Currently, I'm just studying from home. So I can always take care of the pet, and provide food and exercise at times determined by the owners. As soon as the pet arrives, I ensure that it has good accommodation, such as water and food, and that everything is following what was suggested by the owners. Indoor play programs and I take them for walks. The floors are disinfected regularly for everyone's health.

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog’s 6-night stay. They took such amazing care of her, giving her all her medications on time, playing with her, and even working with her on her walking skills. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She spent her days happily playing with their sweet dog Luna, and the whole environment was so calm, loving, and relaxing. Most importantly, they gave our dog a true feeling of home: warmth, comfort, and so much love. Nicolle and Ronaldo went above and beyond, they even helped us with picking her up and bringing her back, which made everything so much easier for us. We are incredibly grateful for the way Nicolle and Ronaldo treated her. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and we will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
“Neide was so kind and I really felt my dog was in good hands. She's a great communicator and sent plenty of pics and videos. I could tell my dog was very happy in her care !”
About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.
“Starry and Gio were absolutely amazing! They took great care of our dog while we were away. They took many photos and videos of him. We will definitely be using Starry and Gio again!!!”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”
