“Eilleen is AMAZING!!! Benji is our little rescue cutie! But he has days where he is a bit unpredictable- He is a cuddle bug on his own terms, can be moody and antisocial. As his "fun" aunt (I'm treat and playtime central haha) you would think he would jump for joy at the chance to take a walk with me but, that isn't the case :( He is very particular about who walks him and only let's his dad walk him. So on days dad is working overtime, I stress about how I will convince Benji to go outside. One Sunday he refused to go out they entire day, not one budge and just hid under the table. Dad was working and I was stressing! Well, Eilleen to the rescue! Upon arrival Benji greeted her at the door, like they were forever friends, hopping, tail wagging and cuddles! In amazement I watch Eilleen put kn his leash with out any hesitation from Benji and in a matter of minutes they were off on their walk together! I am so amazed by the instant connection they have and Eilleens impressive job of caring for him. We are so very thankful!! Thank you Eilleen!!!!!!! You are truly the BEST!!”


“Britany, Has been walking my 4-5 month old puppy for the last couple of weeks and we have been very happy with her services. For our meet& greet she asked about our pups routines, commands our pup knows, and how he should be rewarded. She has been reliable and Rider really enjoys her visits.”


“Deanna is always extremely responsive, attentive, and an absolute delight. She’s our go to for when we are away and need Loki our dog to be taken care of. Extremely flexible and we highly recommend. Thank you, Deanna!!”


“I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.”



“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patty is an amazing dog walker! She is incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dogs. She truly understands my older dog, who tends to bark a lot, and handles it with such care and understanding. Patty is very responsible, and I always feel at ease knowing my dogs are in great hands. Highly recommend her services!”


“Willery did an excellent job walking my 65 pound boxer named Deebo. She followed all care instructions throughly and communicated with me about his progress constantly. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”


“Rhea and Michael should be the first person booked in the Northern NJ area. We forgot to leave the device to get into the house today and they stuck around while I came home to let them in. Our previous dog walker from rover would have said they walked the dog and left. They go above and beyond every time. Simply the best!!!!!!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 18 years old. I’m experienced in giving medications to dogs who need it. I take them on walks during the day (if that’s something they are used to) and give them lots of attention. My work schedule is very flexible. Making it easy to stay with pets for longer periods of time during the day. With only some evening events for work, pets get the most attention while sitting. I have been watching pets at their own home, I go above and beyond with love while their parent is away. I make sure the get all the attention they miss while their parents are away.

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

About: I have a genuine passion for the betterment of pet care in the world. There are unique insights from each pet-parent relationship. As a pet sitter, I see the opportunity to learn from every pet parent and respect the distinct qualities of each pet as an individual. I confidently and safely walk dogs under most circumstances. (Relating to age, energy, and location.) The joy of nurturing all my cherished companions is kinda indescribable because each experience is so different and fulfilling in its own way. Taking care of mainly birds, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs has taught me the smallest details to connect without words. I worked for 3 years as a bather at Bubble Bubble Dog Groomers in North Haledon. Trained to handle some sensitivity issues properly! And had 1-year of training at Englewood's Instinct LLC. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to devote ample time to pet care. I prioritize their well-being by cleaning water bowls/ dispensers, fluffing beds, and providing head scratches while giving praise. In the event that I need to step out for a supply run or for any other reason during a live-in stay, I will inform you in advance, ensuring transparency about my departure and return times. The safety of my pets or my client's pet(s) is a top priority. Normal precautions are chaperoning outdoor activities; even in a fenced yard, to ensure the utmost safety and enjoyment for your furry friend. I make sure to dog-proof play areas by meticulously checking for any potentially tempting materials, like small sticks, animal waste, or ingestible objects. I also keep an eye on the temperature and weather forecast to ensure the well-being of the pets in my care.


“Niomi was amazing with Dolly! She cared for her on her walks and dolly loved her immediately. She would send me great pictures and I knew Dolly was in great hands. I'm so grateful for Rover and Niomi”


About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

About: My name is Jenelee and I have a strong passion for animals. I have been taking care and owning dogs ever since I was a kid. I enjoy not only taking care of the animals basic needs, but as well as making life fun for them. Playing games, cuddling and much more. I aspire to be a veterinarian when I am older and will promise to take more than amazing care of your animal. I live in the suburbs and go on a daily walk myself. This fits perfectly into my schedule because I already have the routine of going on walks and would not mind having an animals with me during those. I love being home as well as outdoors and I have a backyard. Your animal can run around in a safe space and have fun! I will always make sure to have eyes on your animal and their safety and care is my number 1 priority. Your animal will be able to have fun while being safe and cared for.

About: I have owned cats and dogs since I was a child, now I'm a mom to TWO police K9's and a high anxiety breed older dog. I work from home on my own schedule as a realtor, so I can be flexible with care based on the needs of the client. I have two small children at home so, while we do offer vacation sitting- I am unable to stay overnight. However, multiple visits per day is fine. We do also offer kennel boarding at our home as an alternative Any in home visits are under the complete control of the clients instructions, we treat them just as you would! We also have an incredibly clean and sanitary boarding area of our home if you would like that option as well. Lots of playtime in our double fenced in yard is all included in your stay.

About: I treat each pet as if they were my own, focusing, not on their basic needs, but also on their comfort, emotional well-being and routine. I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins or drop offs M-F 9-4pm. I’m available to give lots of love, attention and playtime for your furry friend! I will ensure your pet gets its regular physical activity and playtime. I have a large fenced yard and one friendly Golden Retriever to keep your furry friend company. If you’d prefer walks I will treat your home and pet with respect and kindness.
