Welcome to Paw Pals!
Who are we?
Paw Pals is a professional pet care company servicing Rockland County and select portions of Bergen County. We are licensed, insured, bonded, and have employees, not independent contractors, who genuinely love what they do! Our staff is individually hand picked, goes through extensive interview & background check processes, and complete an in-depth training program throughout the span of several weeks before they work independently with any pets. Our training program covers everything from how to hold a leash properly to understanding animal behavior. In addition, many of our employees are certified in Pet CPR and First Aid.
For our dog walking & pet sitting services, each part of the county has a team of approximately 4 sitters that will work together to ensure you always have coverage for your furkids. This also allows our staff to have a healthy work life balance. When you join our family, we will create an account for you in our online portal which is accompanied by an app for your phone. Our software is rated the best in our industry and allows clients to schedule and cancel visits, pay their bills, and communicate directly with their sitter. After each visit, clients receive a picture and report about their pawtastic visit with your furbaby. Additionally, we monitor your sitters through GPS tracking for added security, and to make sure a visit is never missed.

Frank
In-Home Care Specialist
I'm a lifelong animal lover and over the years my pets have included dogs, cats, mice, snakes, fish, and tarantulas. I have fostered dogs and kittens for local shelters, and adopted some. I'm a big time nature geek, so when I'm not caring for your pet I'm either birding, hiking, or working in my garden.
