House Sitting in Wallington

About: I'm an experienced dog & cat handler, I have had cats & dogs around me most of my life. I'm a dad to a wonderful dog & a playful cat. Moshi 12, a blind chihuahua that I adopted & a rambunctious cat, "Monster" he is 5 years old. This is the perfect side job for me that I hope to do full time when I retire. I have handled scared dogs, hyper dogs, puppies, etc. I know that consistency & patience are key. Every dog is different & some need more reassurance & patience than others. Either way I'm confident I can gain your furkid's trust & develop a relationship with you & him/her. I'm very protective of all animals & I will follow all your instructions. Safety first. Your concerns & your baby's needs are a priority to me. I work remotely & have a flexible schedule, which allows me to do what I enjoy, which is walk & take care of dogs & cats By working remotely I'm able to provide better care & supervision to any pet staying with me, I can provide walks, some play time, as well as feed them as instructed.

“Michael is the BEST. He took care of our house and our cats with patience, humor, respect, and care. He sent photos, funny info, and kept us updated on their antics. A couple of things went wrong in the house while we were away (nothing to do with Michael) and he handled them with complete grace. I felt at ease while we were away and would not hesitate to hire Michael again. And again!! We recommend him 200%!!”

“Emily was so great with Odin! She took great care of him while we were out and he was sad to see her go! Definitely recommend as a sitter, and Odin would love to see her again!”

“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 have 3 years of professional dog training experience, working with over 100-150 dogs in obedience, rehabilitation, and off-leash training using proper e-collar techniques and various training tools. I’ve also administered medication and helped socialize dogs. In addition to training my own dog for the past 5 years, I’ve assisted my girlfriend with dog care on Rover, ensuring every pup gets the attention, exercise, and structure they need. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work full-time from 9 to 5, so I'm available for walks and drop-ins before 9 AM, after 5 PM, and throughout the weekends. I love giving dogs a fulfilling experience by incorporating play, long walks, and short training sessions to keep them mentally stimulated. I’m also available for house sitting and boarding at my home, where your dog will receive plenty of care and attention from both me and my girlfriend, who’s also experienced with dogs and active on the Rover app. Lastly I am also available on the weekends as well if need be. I live in a pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your dog or cat to feel comfortable and safe. There's a beautiful park right behind my place, perfect for walks and outdoor time. I have room for a crate if needed and lots of open space indoors for your pet to relax and roam freely. When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I prioritize safety by following their specific routines and instructions closely. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, keep harmful items out of reach, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I maintain a clean and calm environment, monitor their behavior closely, and provide regular updates to the owner to ensure peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority.

About: First time using Rover? Use code YONGL37332 for $20 off your first booking! As a parent of two lovely cats, I have consistently provided attentive care for both my family and friends' pets, ensuring their well-being through meticulous feeding, walking, maintenance, and, crucially, fostering joy and connection through engaging play sessions. With generous weekend availability and flexible weekday hours, I am well-suited to offer dedicated and compassionate care to both cats and dogs. Currently, I am not accomodating any pet care in my home. I prioritize creating a familiar environment for pets by adhering to their routines. This includes maintaining consistent feeding schedules, ensuring clean and comfortable spaces, and engaging in activities that align with their preferences.

“Sherylee was super kind to us and our dog. She communicated throughout the day and provided pics. I would highly recommend Sherylee and look forward to having her watch our puppy again. Thank you!”

“Nicole was great with my pups! They immediately felt comfortable with her. She was very professional, punctual, and had great communication during her overnight stay. Would definitely trust her to take good care of my dogs again.”

About: Hi there! I’m a 26-year-old animal lover living with my partner, two sweet cats, and one lovable senior pup. Fitzgerald and Westley, our cats, are three years old and full of personality. Fred, our senior dog, is the gentlest soul you’ll ever meet. All of our fur babies are extremely friendly and used to being around other animals. We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your furry friend to feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away, so I’m here to provide a calm, caring environment for your pet while you're gone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or outdoor playtime, I’m happy to match your pet’s needs and routines. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby I work from 9am to 2pm, so I handle all walks, playtime, and feeding for my pets from 7-9am before I head out. When I get home around 2:30pm, I do another round of walks, playtime, and feeding. At 12 I come home for lunch and do snack time. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to fit your fur babies needs please discuss any special requests with me. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 2:30pm and weekends after 10am, making it easy to care for your pets while accommodating my schedule. Whether it’s for a play session, walks, or just some cozy cuddle time, your pet will feel right at home with my flexible routine. I offer pet care in my home, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet will enjoy a structured routine with feeding, playtime, and walks, all while being surrounded by my friendly fur family—Fitzgerald, Westley, and Fred. I’m experienced in providing special care, like administering medication or post-surgery recovery. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet's specific routine and needs. Before boarding, we’ll have a conversation to understand your pet's wants and requirements, ensuring they have the best possible stay with us.

“I was so nervous finding a new sitter for Bella since she can be a bit quirky. Nathalia was so sweet, kept me up to date on what they were doing, and sent great pictures. She went above and beyond for us! Thank you so much, we can’t wait for the next sit :)”

About: I've been taking care of other people's pets, as well as my own, since I was a child. I have experience in all age ranges, and I feel comfortable handling dogs with behavioral issues as well as those that need special attention or medicine. I work a full time job from 9-5. So for house sitting, I would be available to your pet outside of those hours and the full day on weekends. I am also available to check in with your pet during my lunch break if my workplace is close enough. I am available for all other services before 8AM and after 530 PM on weekdays. On weekends I'm available whenever you need me :) I have experience with crated and uncrated dogs, and those who are still learning or that use wee-wee pads. I'm very diligent about keeping fences and doors closed- your dog won't escape on my watch!

About: While I don't have any special skills or licenses, I am an avid pet lover and will fawn after almost any fur baby(even the ones that don't have fur). Something that I do pride myself in is putting their needs before their wants, so I'll shower them with attention after I do the things that need to be done(like picking up their poop, feeding them food/medicine, etc.). I'm a college student so besides my time in classes, I'll be happy to take care of your pets when you're at work, at school, etc. I understand the concern for safety, especially when it comes to your fur baby. I honestly cannot think of anything that can one hundred percent assure you as a pet parent, so I'm open to having a chat with you first and vetting me as someone who could be or isn't the right fit for your pet.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—raised with dogs, experienced with cats, and the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. Whether it’s a shy kitty or a high-energy pup, I know how to keep pets happy, safe, and loved. Walks, playtime, snuggles—I’ve got it covered! I’m currently working on a very flexible schedule and looking to help some fur families out in my free time. Feel free to reach out anytime! Your pet’s safety is my top priority! I always keep a close eye on doors, gates, and anything they shouldn’t get into. I make sure walk routes and play areas are secure, and I follow your home rules and routines to keep things stress-free and safe!

“Anastasiia was wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitten while we were away. He was terrified when we left, but soon after we walked out, she sent pictures of him warming up to her. We were so relieved! She made us feel comfortable by sending so many pics and videos of him looking happy and active each day of our trip. We trusted her in our home as well. We hope to use her services again next time we go away!”

About: I grew up in the Philippines from when I was born till I was 19. And for those years we have always had a dog in the house. Most at one time was 6 dogs. All are trained and well taken care of from the moment they were born or adopted. Giving them their best lives is all that they deserve from us, these furry friends will love us unconditionally. It’s my job to make sure that they feel that same love back. I am currently working part time on a few jobs around the Montclair/Bloomfield area. I plan to return to school for my doctorate but for the mean time caring for pets have always been a love of mine and I will do my very best to make sure your little (or big) buddies get the attention they require. Depending on the breed of dog and their individual energy levels, their playtimes would vary from either indoor activities like tug of war, sensory activities like training their sense of smell with treats, or more outdoor backyard stuff like fetch, making sure all their zoomies are taken outside before they cause a mess inside the house. Making sure that each pet is well stimulated and given and good amount of food and water after tends to get them in a lot calmer mood as the sun begins to dim

“Good communication and was available to be there for cocoa for multiple days!”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker in my community since I was 10! I have experience with a wide variety of dogs and situations, including: blind and deaf dogs, senior dogs who have lost bladder control or who take medication, reactive dogs and dogs with leash aggression, dogs who are 70 lbs and larger. I also have training in pet first aid and in dog training methods. Our pets are a part of our family and I will always treat your pet with the same love and care as any family member! I’m currently working from home part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I’m available for dog walks, home visits to care for your pet as well as short-term boarding. I live in a large apartment on the first floor of my building, so there aren’t many steps from my door to outside. I can also keep to any schedule you may have in place for your pet. I know every home is different and I can adapt my pet care to the needs of you and your pet.

About: I have a Pitbull-mix who is 13 years old, and I provide him with daily walks, and 2 meals a day, ensuring he has the best playtime in his routines. I currently work a full-time job, and I am free during the evening hours after 5 pm. I enjoy taking walks between 30-45 minutes and can do home visits for all breeds. I enjoy playing with my dog, whether it's with tug of war or fetch. I like to set reminders if my dog has to take any medication or walks to ensure they are getting their daily routine.

“Alexandra is so so wonderful! Whenever I go away and have her stay with my 3 dogs, I never worry because know they are being cared for by someone I fully trust. She is kind and thoughtful. Alexandra sends photos every day and makes sure to update me about everything! She allows me to relax when I leave and that’s the most wonderful feeling! Thank you for being amazing to my fur babies 🥰”

I am very good at reading behavioral and nonverbal cues. I have two doggies at home who are playful and full of energy. My home has a large yard and fenced-in. In the summer I have another home which is also fenced in and lots and lots of space. Services are welcomed at both places. if a boarding request is after 4pm then an extra night charge would be added. Thank you for understanding. Hope to hear from you soon!

I am comfortable with wiping down dogs, brushing teeth, to hand feeding. My dog requires certain care due to her anxiety, which I am used to accommodating to.
