Pet Sitting Wanaque

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. I am currently taking classes at a college for a few hours a day but have plenty of off time to play with your pets. I have huge yard and deck that the pets can run around in and I have walk my own dog once a day up and down the street.

About: [PSA Aug. Sept. Oct. - limited moderate energy walks and minimal high energy bookings. Medium Sprain Recovering] Hello! I have years of pet care experience under my belt. Throughout my childhood I was able to grow my love and knowledge of many animals. I had cats dogs and small mammals like hamsters and bunnies growing up I got to help care for and learn about. During my teen years I helped family friends and neighbors with their pets including cats, dogs and even goats and chickens. With a solid foundation in feeding, walking, grooming, medicating, and playing with animals, I look forward to meeting and helping out many more pets throughout my twenties and beyond. [Daytime sits: ends before 9pm] [Night sits: flexibility for me to tend to my critters and other local recurring bookings.] Currently looking to go back to school, growing my expertise as a pet walker and sitter, and taking care of my own pets. I’ll have the free time and consistent schedule to check in and provide care for local pets as well. Safety trust and environment are a must when it comes to pet care. Environmentally I have my eyes peeled for hazards that could harm or cause illness in an animal, and remove those things to where they can’t be a problem. In building trust, I start every interaction with pet psychology in mind. I let them approach me with all of their senses first. Once they become interested in getting to know me, I can continue to show them I’m a safe person through gentle and secure actions on my part like walking carefully and taking softly.

“Alex was great with my cats! She was very responsible and gave me daily updates. I recommend her abs would definitely use her again.”

Lara R.

“Anytime we travel I make sure to book care for our cat with Andrew. He is flexible, always reliable and answers quickly to any questions we have. I love the pictures and updates he sends us to let us know what is going on. I look forward to continuing to book with him whenever we need it!”

Kristen H.

“Awesome pet sitter…reliable, thoughtful, and took some cute photos! Would definitely recommend, and will be using her again.”

John M.

“Avital was a wonderful sitter! She took the time to come meet my cats and get a little familiar. She took excellent care of them. Both cats were out and she playing which hasn’t happened with most sitters.”

Shannon S.

“Jennifer visited our four year old male American shorthair rescue cat Ricky daily for us. She sent us beautiful photos of Ricky which were reassuring. We will be happy to hire Jennifer again.”

David Y.

“Joe is beyond amazing! I started a new job and was looking for someone that could not only accommodate the multiple times per day for my little girl but also give her the attention she needs; we were going from me working remotely to being in the office 4x/week. From our first visit, Joe was super attentive to understanding what my Cleo likes/doesn’t like. He comes prepared, treats Cleo as if she were his own, and his communication during his visits is superb! He definitely goes above and beyond and that gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. 120% recommend!! Thank you for all you do, Joe!”

Andrea G.

“Britany was absolutely wonderful! Prompt, communication was great and sent pictures of Ricky. Will definitely be using her again soon.”

Jamie R.

“Jennifer was great! She provided us updates and pictures of our Iggy for each visit. Her visits included some outside time as well as some indoor fetch, which he definitely loved! She even spent some extra time with him, which was so nice. Thank you so much for taking care of our pup!! 😊”

Katie M.

“Allie did an outstanding job taking care of our Cali. Cali is a tough little girl and gets a bit of "separation anxiety". Allie handled it well and did a great job of making Cali feel comforatble and keeping us informed along the way. Would highly recommend her!”

Laurie P.

“I have too many adjectives to describe Colleen. She was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. I always stress when I go away and leave my girls but Colleen alleviated that feeling almost entirely. She even stayed longer than needed the first night. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.”

About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with my dog, Lucy, and two cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. For the past three years, I’ve also been a proud dog parent to my pup, Omelette! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own — whether that means a long walk, some playtime, keeping them company, or just making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I work during the day but have a flexible schedule outside of work, making me available for evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and other pet-care needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and follow any specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every animal has their own personality. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure, shy and needs some patience, or would rather spend the evening curled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave your pet knowing they’re in good hands — and I’m always happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! 🐶🐱 I work a full-time schedule, but I have plenty of flexibility outside of work to provide reliable pet care. I’m available for evening walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as overnight stays and more flexible care on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and company while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and boundaries. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love.

“Pam was great, very timely visits and lots of updates. My kitties looked very content in their daily photos and I felt like they were in very good hands while we were away. Definitely highly recommend and will hire again!”

About: I've loved dogs and cats all my life, but I never knew the impact that a dog or cat can have on me. Got my first dog when I was 12: Vicky, a beautiful German Shepherd, and I fell in love instantly. It's been a love story ever since. My family has had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, and ferrets. I truly believe pets are our "happy place," and their unconditional love warrants that love to be reciprocated. I've watched family pets when family and friends have gone on vacation or need a drop-in babysitter. A family friend actually flies me to Florida while they are away so that I can watch their babies. It is a privilege to take care of your fur babies. Working from 830am to 5 pm, I'm happy to fit pet care into my daily routine by providing dependable morning, evening, and after-work visits, giving your pets the attention, care, love, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly small dogs that will provide a safe place for them to roam, smell the grass and fresh air, and still be able to move and jump and run with two friends.

“Irem does a great job. This is the second time she has taken care of my cats. It’s nice to know that they are in good hands while I’m away and she always leaves things tidy.”

Colleen B.

“Our second time with Katie. She is very reliable and responsive to our pets. So glad to have found her and will definitely be using her services again.”

Carol B.

“Wendy did a fabulous job watching our two fur babies! Being out of the country I'm always frightened the AC will stop working for some odd reason, but she assured me that the house remained cool the entire time. Located in the same town as me, she could come to the house quickly if needed. The house was clean and tidy just like we left it. We'll definitely use her on our next trip!”

Doug B.

“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)! We can’t express how happy we are to have found Aletris and I know our kitty felt the same way! Will definitely be hiring them again for future pet sitting needs!”
