Cat Sitting West Milford

“First time that I ever that I came home to a clean house with no accidents left behind or litter everywhere. Colleen was wonderful. I would book Colleen again in a second.”

Jennifer L.

“Alex is the best sitter ever! She’s reliable, responsive and is very trustworthy- if we weren’t moving across the country would definitely book her more regularly but of the two times we had her we were pleased!”

Ariana T.

“I had to unexpectedly work late and Jill had no problem rushing back over to feed and hang out with my cat last minute. She is very reliable and responded quick.”

About: I have been walking an awesome dog almost daily, he is a very energetic and adorable 8 year old Pitbull/Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue mix named Chewy and I have loved every minute. He has taught me how important it is that dogs get their daily walks and experience adventure! Looking to help other pet owners give their dog a hopeful moment in their day by getting outside - rain or shine! I’m currently working part-time, and I am incredibly flexible. I have a very reliable, pet friendly, Subaru that can drive in any weather. I am the type of person that you can text me an hour before and I will be there! Always happy to help in a pinch. I respect all spaces and homes the same. I understand owning pets can be messy and I’m not afraid to step up and help calm the storm however I can. I do not mind showing up to a home to help care for a pet, happy to help in any way I can!

“Maria was fantastic as always. Even though our plans changed, she was extremely flexible and accommodating. Our Angus LOVES his playtime with Maria!”

About: I’ve spent over a decade helping dogs and the people who love them build better relationships. My background includes professional dog training, developing an animal-assisted intervention program in a special education school, working with therapy dog teams, supporting rescue dogs, and educating handlers using positive reinforcement methods. As a former teacher, I bring patience, observation, and a thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I believe every dog is an individual, and I take the time to understand their personality, communication style, comfort level, and what motivates them. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a visit, my focus is on more than just exercise. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals while providing enrichment, safe exploration, and positive interactions tailored to your dog’s needs. I love giving dogs the opportunity to sniff, explore, and enjoy the world while building confidence and trust. I have experience with puppies, adolescent dogs, senior dogs, and rescue dogs adjusting to new homes. I incorporate positive reinforcement principles, including concepts from Puppy Culture, to help puppies develop confidence, healthy habits, and a strong foundation. For dogs who enjoy adventure, I’m also happy to offer longer enrichment walks or easy hikes on dog-friendly trails (with owner approval). These outings are a great way for active dogs to get additional physical and mental enrichment while exploring safely at their own pace. As a dog owner myself, I understand that your dog is family. My goal is to provide the same thoughtful, reliable care, communication, and attention that I would want for my own dogs. I also have experience caring for cats, including living with a senior cat, and I understand that cats often need a different approach than dogs. I’m happy to provide thoughtful care while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. Every visit/ walk, you will get text updates and photos. As a pet mom myself, it always puts me at ease to see a happy picture while in the care of a trusted sitter or walker. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! ☺️ I currently offer walks/ hikes Mondays & Wednesdays: 9:45-12:30 Fridays: 9:45-11:15 I can do check-ins and occasional walks on scheduled weekends and evenings as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog and cat is an individual, and I take the time to understand their routines, body language, personality, and needs before providing care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely and maintain a safe, calm environment for your pet. I use thoughtful handling practices, pay attention to stress signals, and make decisions based on what is best for each individual animal. I always make sure they have fresh water upon return from our walk, and during check-in visits. As a longtime pet owner with dogs and a senior cat of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I treat each home and pet with respect, provide reliable communication, and will always prioritize your pet’s well-being.

About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I currently own a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko and a 15 month old Cockapoo named Nala. I also have 5 chickens and 6 ducks and love to take care of animals as a homeschool mama. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

“Maddy was great!! Very communicative and super sweet to our kitty. I highly recommend her!”

Dianna & Shea G.

“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: I’ve grown up around animals and currently care for my 10 year old yorkie Aj. Who has taught me so much about the importance of patience, routine, and unconditional love. I pay attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs whether that’s plenty of playtime, snuggles, or extra patience for seniors. I’m also reliable and attentive making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 💕💕 I am super excited to take on this adventure because I have such a deep love for animals and would love to spend my extra time taking care of any lovely dogs or cats. I have a large chunk of time I can spend with cute pups! I am available after 5pm as well! My top priorities are safety and trust. In a client’s home, I always respect their rules and preferences so pets feel comfortable in their own environment. My goal is always to give pets the same love and security I give my own pup 🩷

“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!”

Samantha S.

“Dianna and Shea took great care of my cats and fish while I was away for 6 days. They are amazing communicators, I got texts every day telling me when they arrived and were leaving, as well as updating me on how everyone was doing and that everything on the “to do” list was done. They also sent pictures every day which I really appreciated! They consistently followed all my instructions to the letter. It was clear that they really care which gave me such peace of mind. It’s always stressful when I have to be away from my babies, especially so when using a new sitter, so having confidence that they were in good hands was such a huge relief. I would highly recommend them and will definitely have them back!”

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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and parrots all my life. I’ve had the responsibility of walking them, feeding them and playing with them. Now that I’m post-grad I have a cat of my own and am solely responsible for its care. Ive helped neighbors and friends with their animals when they go away on vacation. I am home for the summer with a part time job and this would fit in perfectly with my schedule. i am able to schedule around my other job. In my home we have a fenced in yard and our dogs are sometimes crated when we leave. When they are not crated have gates to set up safe spaces in the house where they can roam.

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

About: - Have had multiple dogs since age 5 - have taken care of neighbors dogs since age 10 - Volunteered at a stables at 11 and then again at 13 - Taken care of my aunts dogs since I was 16-22 - Have been called on multiple cat sitting jobs just to play with the cat for a couple hours I am a freelance photographer, so my schedule is very random so I am available most days and can work my schedule around your schedule! My entire life I have always had an animal around, it just makes my day better! I spoil them big time and I would treat them like they were my own animal!

“Christine was fantastic!! I knew my kitty was in good care with her. I could tell my kitty was happy and well cared for. Christine jumped in at the last minute to replace a sitter we had a bad experience with, and she followed every instruction, was very communicative, and bonded well with my kitty. Will definitely book her again.”
