Dog Sitting West Orange

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, always having a dog and currently caring for four cats. I’ve raised baby kittens, which taught me patience, responsibility, and gentle care. I’m also interested in pursuing a veterinary career, reflecting my commitment to animal well-being. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine through feeding, cleaning, playtime, and quality time. I’m available for boarding on weekends and after 3 PM on weekdays, and I’m flexible to adjust when needed. In my home, I care for pets with patience and genuine love. I take pet care seriously but always make sure animals feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy through consistent routines, attention, and gentle care.

About: I have a 2 year old Goldendoodle who I’ve had since he was a puppy and I’ve always had a passion for dogs of all breeds. I work as a personal trainer, my hours are very flexible and I set my own schedule so I have a lot of free time in my days. I have a 2 bedroom apartment and live alone. I have a small backyard area and can contain dogs in any specific room in my apartment as well if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of my 70 pound labradoodle along with my family for 13 years, house sat for dogs, and walked neighborhood dogs whilst away at college. I have a patient, calm yet firm approach and enjoy the company of dogs big and small! I’m currently working part-time and have fairly flexible availability for check-ins and potty breaks—just ask! I am also available for house sitting on the weekends; however, I would prefer a week’s notice. I love to play! Whether it’s using toys or simply cuddling/petting, I believe dogs deserve the love and attention that they give to us. I also enjoy sharing quiet moments with my pets, as well as going on long walks to stimulate the senses.

About: I have owned and fostered many different types of animals. I get along well with cats and dogs, and have fostered animals with special needs (bathing, ear cleaning, medication administration). I love to go on long walks and create a connection with animals. My goal is to make your’s and your pet’s lives easier by providing a safe, trustworthy, and reliable service. I currently work remotely and have a car, so I am very available for day-time walks and check ins, as well as into the evening and on weekends. I am happy to adhere to any special needs for your animals, but I’ll always be honest about what I have experience doing. I will follow all care instructions, and make sure to take the safest walking route for your dog!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up around dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals on my family’s farm in Ecuador. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter who loves making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with feeding, walks, cleaning, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I especially love cats, but I’m happy to care for dogs too! I will treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I just moved to this country. I really love anímales and their well-being. I’m currently looking for a job, and I’d like to start working in a field I’m passionate about, which is animal care. I would care pets in their own home o just walking around the neighborhood, following the owner’s instructions and keeping their normal routine. I would make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, take them for walks if needed, and keep their space clean and safe. I would also pay attention to any changes in their behavior or health and communicate with owner if there are any concerns.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. From puppies to seniors! I love them like my own. I am a God fearing woman and animal lover with maternal instincts. I have experience with disabled pets as well and pets with dietary restrictions. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently open for full time. I already pet sit once a month for a week at a time. I tidy up the litter boxes and do light cleaning around the house. clean the floors, sweep and mop. Take out trash, walk the dog or play time.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for German Shepherds, having raised and cared for three of my own during that time. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of exercise, patience, attention, and consistency. Caring for my own dogs has taught me how to recognize their individual behaviors and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and would treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I’m available for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet care during the morning hours, generally between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual routine. I always keep dogs securely leashed when outside, supervise them closely, and make sure they have access to fresh water and a safe environment. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care needs, and I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being throughout the visit. I also make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure so pets cannot accidentally get loose.

About: I have always been surrounded by animals, growing up in a home where they were family. With years of experience and a heart full of love, I promise to care for your pet as if they were my own. Whether it's playful walks, exciting playtime, or simply enjoying the great outdoors, every moment will be filled with joy and attention. I take great pride in being responsible and ensuring your furry friend receives the highest level of care.

Reliable and compassionate, I am dedicated to keeping your beloved companion happy, healthy, and safe. I currently have a three year old dog, and grew up with dogs my entire life. It’s hard imagine an everyday routine not revolved around my dogs needs. I will care for your fur baby and their every need whether it’s a long walk, a play date, or overall care and attention :)

About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and a pet sitter for about 15 years! I have taken care of many different dog breeds including elderly dogs, special needs, and those with high anxiety. I am experienced with training such as commands, bathroom problems, tricks, and leash training. I am a very active person so I have no problem going for long walks or runs with your fur friend and playing until they’re tired. In the past, I’ve taken dogs on long hikes, lake trips, and dog parks (doggy baths included of course). Additionally, I currently have two very friendly cats! That being said I am open to house visits for cats too as I am knowledgeable on how to care for them! Please make sure to read below: - Your safety is important to me! Please let me know in advance if you would prefer to meet with masks on and/or present my COVID vaccination card! - If your pet is aggressive or a runner, please let me know in advance so I am well prepared. - If you are unable to pay the rates on my profile, please message me so we can work something out :) I have a very laid back work schedule and little to no meetings throughout the day. My schedule will be worked around your pet to make sure they are having fun and getting attention! I have a pet safe home and my own pets will be kept separately from yours if they are to come here (unless they get along!). I can also easily crate your pet if that is what you prefer and continue any training that you are actively working on. At your home, I will make sure that all electronics that might be unsafe are off and all doors are locked. I am familiar with surveillance features installed with homes as well!

About: I am comfortable with animals of all ages and size and love spending time with them. I would welcome any opportunity to help out with caring for the fur babies of fellow pet parents. Currently, I work a 9 to 5 with 3 remote days so pet care can fit easily before, after, or during work when I am at home. In September, I will be working 3 times a week as a Nurse Aide and am able to pick my own schedule. I will have free time to walk or pet sit throughout the rest of the week and am able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the family. I am conscious of the importance of understanding the nature of the animals we care for and make an active effort to keep my space as cat friendly as possible for my pets. I make sure all dogs and cats I interact with feel calm and safe in my presence so they can trust me.

“Thank you for the help!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.

About: I’ve taken care of bigger dogs like mastiffs, greyhounds, and many more. With also maintain strong connections with not only the dogs but the caretakers of these pets. In stressful situations I remain calm and can handle shy or reactive dogs. I’m willing to take dogs on hikes the park or exciting adventures. I’m currently a full time student in New Jersey but I’m constantly back in the city of Washington, D.C. At night I have the most free time during the beginning of the weekdays but towards the weekend my schedule free’s up for any time. I pay very close attention to the pets movement, and signs that it might need sorry or something may be wrong. In both my home and clients home I would apply this as well as on walks.

About: Hi, I’m Alexandra! Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, parrots, ferrets, and many other animals. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I split my time between West Orange and Hoboken. In West Orange, I live with my mother, and in Hoboken, I share a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my partner. Both have years of independent pet-sitting experience and share my love for animals. Having two welcoming homes and experienced helping hands allows me to offer more flexibility. Hoboken offers the most flexibility for overnight stays, as my partner works from home and I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. This means your fur baby will enjoy plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day! If West Orange is more convenient, I’m always happy to arrange a meet-up there and discuss having your pet stay with us in Hoboken. We love keeping pets active and engaged, aiming for hourly walks whenever appropriate, along with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of individual attention. Every pet has a different personality, so we always follow their routine and respect their comfort level. I’m also CPR certified and happy to share frequent photos, videos, and updates so you can see how your little one is doing throughout their stay. Above all, we genuinely love what we do. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and we want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be treated with the same love and attention we’d give our own. Holiday Policy: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s bookings require a minimum stay of five nights. With an additional fee I’m a college student ( business school) with a flexible schedule allowing me plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I split my time between West Orange, where I live with my mother, and Hoboken, where I share a spacious apartment with my partner, who works from home. Both my mother and partner have years of independent pet-sitting experience and share my love for animals. With our schedules and experience, there’s almost always someone home to provide companionship and attentive care. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, and personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and comfort level. My priority is to make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take extra care to create a welcoming, pet friendly environment by keeping potentially toxic houseplants out of my home and using pet and child safe cleaning products. Our home and backyard are fully gated, providing an added level of security. With experienced family members nearby and my partner working from home, your pet will enjoy plenty of companionship and attentive care throughout the day. We also have indoor cameras for additional peace of mind. ( Be advised based on your pets needs/size I’ll recommend which location will best fit your pet) I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (when needed), and any special care requirements. Above all, I want your fur baby to feel right at home, surrounded by the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands!
