Cat Sitting Wood-Ridge

About: I’m new to Rover! I’m responsible, attentive and love spending time with animals. I’m very active and enjoy going on walks, so I’d love having a furry companion along with me! I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with patience, attention and lots of love. I’m also organized and dependable, so you can count on me to follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated while they’re with me. I work a 9AM-5PM weekday schedule, so I’m most available in the early mornings, evenings and on weekends. I’d especially love to build a few regular walking or pet-sitting routines nearby. My weekends are generally more flexible for longer walks, drop-ins and pet care. I’m very attentive and take pet owners’ instructions seriously. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking and care routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I have hybrid work environment so I'm home two out of the three days a week if needed. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.

About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals. I believe our pets are just as important as any other family member. I grew up with dogs and now have a puppy that I share with my partner who is quite truly our child. One of my recent clients said, "Rachel, you see animals as if they are little children, with personalities, feelings and emotions. I've never come across anyone that is as intuitive with them as you are". I'm that girl who will stop you in the middle of the street to pet your pup just because he or she looked at me. I want to give them as much love as I possibly can. My patience is my biggest asset and skill as a pet parent, sitter and dog walker. I want to give your pup the same attention as I give my own. I sit for both puppies, kitties and senior animals. I'm experienced with special care needs such as medication management or any other special care your animal may require. When I'm caring for your your pet(s) they becomes my family and I give them the gentle care and loyal love they deserve. PS. Our beloved Rocco passed over the rainbow bridge in early June. We are in the process of adopting another puppy. As a freelancer, I often have a flexible schedule and am happy to come up with a schedule that works for us both - weather you are looking for regular care or are simply taking a trip for the weekend and need someone to look after your fuzzball. I am able to provide sitting services at your home, walking sessions, drop-in visits or play dates. I live with my partner and am able to care for your pup in our home or in yours, the choice is yours. My partner is allergic to cats, so although, I am not able to board them in my home unfortunately. But, I am more than happy to board them in your home, drop by for a cuddle, play time, in home stay. I love going on walks and can play with your pets to make sure they stay happy and mentally enriched. I can also brush your pets hair for you, bathe them as well as give massages.

“Andrew was such a wonderful sitter for my two cats. Both warmed up to him quickly and I felt confident they were in good hands. Andrew kept me up to date with detailed notes and amazing pics. I am so happy to have booked with him and will for sure rebook for future sitting needs.”

“Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.”

Caleb V.

“Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with him again.”

Richmon K.

“Anna has been watching my puppy a few times a week since she was about 4 months old and my puppy always has the best time. Anna is very thorough and follows all of my instructions regarding my dog’s care. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Haley P.

“Victoria watched our anxious eight-year-old cat for a week. Every day, we looked forward to receiving cute pictures and a description of the visit. When we returned, our cat was noticeably happier and healthier than he has been after visits from previous pet sitters. Victoria gave our pet plenty of love and attention. You can tell that she really cares about the animals she pet sits.”

“Xunzi did a great job! She kept us updated during her visit with our cats and sent a lot of pictures. I would definitely recommend Xunzi for your cats.. Thank you Xunzi.”

Matthew H.

“5 stars isn’t enough! Maryann is amazing! She treated our pup like one of her own. She kept us updated on each visit with food and walks and we truly enjoyed the pics and videos! She is kind and caring and was honestly so great with our girl!!”

“We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own and will continue to do so with every animal entrusted to my care! I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. My daily job and walk times work around each other so please notify me at least 3 days in advance of your booking date and I will try my best to make it work for you! As stated on my profile, I have a strict 7 day cancellation policy applied and it is automatically enforced by the Rover app. This is due to the nature of my day job as I may need to adjust those hours when scheduling a booking of any kind. Please be mindful of this, thank you. I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.

About: I love animals so much that neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of there pets while away, I find it fun and pleasing to work with animals I’m currently a college student and need some side money, so I have time to work all day! I’m available almost everyday! I am also very reliable and easy to work with! I have a fenced yard and a lovely home to relax in! I will also keep them occupied while they are away from there owners!

“Valeria was great with my cat! She was very responsive, punctual, and genuinely cares about what she does. I loved the pictures and updates she sent when I was away. Would highly recommend!”

About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend.

About: Use my promo code for $20 off! CAMMI16428, https://www.rover.com/sit/cammi16428 **All services on Rover are negotiable. I am more than happy to quote a custom rate based on 15-20min (< 2 miles) or 45min (< 3 miles) as opposed to 30 or 60, which is what Rover defaults to. **There are two main providers (my mom and I) working on this account. I am the lead sitter, and my mom works with me directly. I am responsible for walks, visits, and overnights (in your home) while she runs the daycare and boarding services offered in our home. **Arrival times for bookings: As we all know, Bergen County has its' fair share of traffic and bad weather making getting from one place to another difficult at times. Then, there's apartment complexes and having to wait for an extended period of time to receive a key, for example. With that being said, we kindly ask for flexibility (within reason) in terms of arrival times with the exception being puppies, pets who require medication, and the elderly. All pets are important as are pet owners. We want to make everyone happy with regards to when we arrive. I, Cammie, complete all new client bookings and bookings that require medication or have animals present with special needs of some sort. You are dealing directly with me when communicating via the platform. To ensure your pet is safe and well taken care of, you should aim to use a full-time professional pet sitter that is trained and dedicated. Offered Services: *Kennel-free boarding (our place) *Overnight Stay (your home, 2 options) -Please ask how we can customize your animal's in-home care while you're away. *Drop-in Visits (non-vacation customers) -Can be daily or reoccurring bookings when the visit is not solely focused on walking the animal. For example, if you have a puppy and want me to stop by for 30min, 3x a week to play with and take the puppy out, then this would be considered a drop-in since puppies don't typically go on full blown 30min walks. *Dog Walks -Standard dog walks are 30 minutes and we start the timer as soon as we unlock your door. 1-hr long walks are limited availability and scheduled in the early mornings or late evenings, weekdays only. *Doggy Daycare -Available to clients only (those that have utilized other services, such as: dog walks or visits) *Please know that most services are negotiable for several pets within the same household (for example, if you have 6 cats). **About Me: I've always had animals in my life and over the years, thought I'd be a veterinarian. That never happened, of course, because I couldn't bare the cons of working with animals in that capacity. I began watching pets of friends and family in my free time and wholeheartedly enjoyed it. In January of 2022, my dad passed away unexpectedly from COVID-19 which left me torn to pieces. And somehow, after half of a year, I decided that I was going to focus on the aspects of my life that bring me the most joy. I had to. Before COVID-19, I signed up to Rover but was only acquiring strange/fake inquiries. I don't know why, but I decided to try again after my loss. This time, things took off very unexpectedly. Call it divine intervention or happenstance, but I know what I'm meant to do now and it involves what I've always loved-- animals. I'm happy to announce that I started my business in January of this year, 2023, and dedicate the majority of my time to loving on animals! I go to great lengths to plan and optimize my schedule so that I can give the highest level of service possible to you and your pets. I love what I do, and take this very seriously. When I go to your home, I will respect any and all rules laid out for me. Just let me know whatever you need, and I will get it done!
