About: Pets have always been part of my life. I've had dogs, cats, goldfish, betta fish, hamsters, bunnies, and chinchillas. Currently in my care are the adorable bunny brother-and-sister duo I call the Wonder Twins, a senior Staffie mix who doesn’t like going down the shore so we’re weekend buddies, and Sassafrass, the “fraidy" cat. Each of these animals has its own rhythm and needs, and I've learned to pay close attention to what makes each one comfortable, whether that's a quiet room, a clean habitat, or a gentle, familiar routine. Since I'm retired, my days have a lot of natural flexibility built in. I can offer morning, midday, and evening visits throughout the week, not just squeezed-in slots around a nine-to-five. Pet care isn't something I fit around my life. It's become one of the things I structure my life around, alongside my own dog, Mojo. All of my care happens in your home, not mine. I come to you for dog walks and feeding visits, so your pet stays in their own familiar space with their own food, bed, and routine. For dogs, that means a walk at their pace around your neighborhood. For cats and smaller pets, it means fresh food and water, litter box or habitat cleaning, and some quiet one-on-one attention. At this time, I don't board pets in my own home. Keeping care in your space is part of what keeps things low-stress for your pet and simple for you.

“Maxibel did an amazing job taking care of my two pups! From the start, communication was clear and consistent, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about animals my dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I came home to two relaxed and content pups, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Maxibel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Geoff was absolutely wonderful!!! We have an extremely challenging German Shepherd who we were nervous about leaving but Geoff was kind and firm with him. He sent quite a few pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease. We will definitely have him in again to take care of our Bo.”

“Andy was an incredible sitter for our cat, Lincoln. He was highly responsive throughout the entire process, and he provided thorough check-in summaries with pictures, which really helped ease any concerns about our pet while out of town. Lincoln is not always the nicest to newcomers, and Andy did a great job navigating Lincoln’s defensiveness”

“Great at everything. I used her service multiple times and she’s been awesome at timing, service and goes above and beyond. I will definitely recommend her and will continue using her moving forward.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, learning to love each breed uniquely. Our pets truly become part of the family and we must treat them as such! I have experience in potty training, crate training and teaching tricks! I am available for daily walks, days and nights. I am available for boarding Monday - Sunday. I am also available on holidays, please just let me know in advance. My dog, Arlo, is a super friendly Mini Aussie who will also keep your pup company. A fenced dog park is available nearby for them to play and run. I will follow feeding, potty, and medication instructions accordingly.

About: Multiple years of pet sitting as well as dog daycare work. Capable and experienced with multiple breeds and sizes of dogs. Available most days of the week. Available most days and times for work. Can work flexible hours if needed later in the day or earlier in the morning. Schedule may vary. Pets are always a priority. When housesitting I always ensure to maintain and respect my surroundings and the needs of the pets in the house.

“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”

About: I grew up in the Philippines from when I was born till I was 19. And for those years we have always had a dog in the house. Most at one time was 6 dogs. All are trained and well taken care of from the moment they were born or adopted. Giving them their best lives is all that they deserve from us, these furry friends will love us unconditionally. It’s my job to make sure that they feel that same love back. I am currently working part time on a few jobs around the Montclair/Bloomfield area. I plan to return to school for my doctorate but for the mean time caring for pets have always been a love of mine and I will do my very best to make sure your little (or big) buddies get the attention they require. Depending on the breed of dog and their individual energy levels, their playtimes would vary from either indoor activities like tug of war, sensory activities like training their sense of smell with treats, or more outdoor backyard stuff like fetch, making sure all their zoomies are taken outside before they cause a mess inside the house. Making sure that each pet is well stimulated and given and good amount of food and water after tends to get them in a lot calmer mood as the sun begins to dim

About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.

“Erika was amazing with my pup. He is a senior dog and she took great care of him. I received lots of pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Erika.”

“Yaneira is great! She watched my kitty Sydney for over a week and did exactly what I asked for and more! I truly felt comfortable being on vacation knowing that Sydney was in Yaneira's hands. She is professional and loves animals, which was easy to tell from when she met Sydney. I will definitely be using Yaneira again the next time I need to go out of town. She is very responsible and committed :)”

About: I bring a rare blend of structured accountability, diverse hands-on experience, and an intuitive connection with animals of all shapes and sizes. What truly sets me apart: Deep, Lifelong Experience: I have loved and cared for pets across the entire spectrum—from being a former Golden Retriever owner to adopting an elderly Tuxedo cat. Whether handling large, enthusiastic breeds or patient senior companions, I understand their unique needs. Active, Versatile Care: As an experienced dog walker, my current routine includes regularly walking a high-energy Cockapoo. I am proudly Pitbull-friendly. The Magic Touch: As a former Licensed Massage Therapist, I have the magic touch - "Tails will be-a-waggin'!" Rescue-Level Empathy: Having successfully rehabilitated my own skittish street-rescue cat, I'm good at reading subtle body language and building trust with nervous or reactive animals at their own pace. I guarantee total respect for your home security, strict adherence to your routines, and exceptional communication while you are away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I am fully available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM just about every day of the week for scheduled bookings. This wide window allows me to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule, ensuring they get their meals, walks, and potty breaks exactly when they expect them. Because I manage my calendar carefully with a 3-day advance notice window, I am able to guarantee that when your pet is on my schedule, they receive my completely dedicated, active companionship and attentive care exactly when they need it most. My approach to pet care is rooted in deep empathy, household security, and strict adherence to an animal's natural comfort zones. • Home Security & Integrity: I treat your home with the utmost respect. This means strict double-checking of door locks, ensuring gates are securely latched during backyard play, and maintaining a calm, hazard-free environment indoors. • Routine Consistency: I follow your instructions to the letter. Whether it's morning feedings, dedicated mid-evening playtime, or ensuring the litter box is perfectly clean before bed, consistency is how I keep your pets feeling safe and secure. • Patience with Sensitive Pets: I bring a calm, grounded energy to your home. I know when to give a pet their space and when to offer affection, ensuring they always feel secure and never pressured. If your pet needs extra time to adjust to a new face, I bring a calm, patient presence that allows them to approach me whenever they feel completely comfortable.
