Dog Walkers in Allendale, NJ

“Eilleen is AMAZING!!! Benji is our little rescue cutie! But he has days where he is a bit unpredictable- He is a cuddle bug on his own terms, can be moody and antisocial. As his "fun" aunt (I'm treat and playtime central haha) you would think he would jump for joy at the chance to take a walk with me but, that isn't the case :( He is very particular about who walks him and only let's his dad walk him. So on days dad is working overtime, I stress about how I will convince Benji to go outside. One Sunday he refused to go out they entire day, not one budge and just hid under the table. Dad was working and I was stressing! Well, Eilleen to the rescue! Upon arrival Benji greeted her at the door, like they were forever friends, hopping, tail wagging and cuddles! In amazement I watch Eilleen put kn his leash with out any hesitation from Benji and in a matter of minutes they were off on their walk together! I am so amazed by the instant connection they have and Eilleens impressive job of caring for him. We are so very thankful!! Thank you Eilleen!!!!!!! You are truly the BEST!!”

“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, continued through college, and now I have a senior dog of my own; so I truly understand the patience and attentiveness older dogs need. Whether it’s a puppy or a senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I am currently home for the summer from college so I have a lot of flexibility. My daily/weekly routine will be very open to caring for your pets! When I care for pets through walks or drop-in visits, my priority is making them feel happy and comfortable. For walks, I follow your dog’s pace and routine, whether they prefer a brisk walk or a slow lap around the block. During drop ins, I make sure they get fresh water, food (if needed), playtime, and lots of affection. I follow any specific instructions you leave to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free.

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. There was always a dog in my home when I was a child. Later on, in my own home had raised two dogs and a cat from their earliest days. My sweet Golden Retriever, Milo, was with me and my kids since he was 10 weeks old. He was amazing! Sadly after a year of being sick and fighting a good fight, it became too much for him. My kids & I said goodbye to him with many tears and such a heaviness in our hearts. It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog. I'm home during the day which allows me to have the time to devote to your dogs.i also have two teenage kids who are able to walk and play with him. I live on a quiet dead end street with hardly any cars coming through. I have a nice sized yard which is great for playing and taking in the suns rays(my dog would love to just roll his body over in the grass...lol). So I would being taking care of your precious baby boy/girl as if he/she was my own! I also will only take care of one dog at a time... so YOUR dog will have ALL my attention! I am a very easy going down to earth person.... I'd love to chat with you about your needs and concerns for your dog. Please let me know what I can do to help you ... Talk to you soon! Kathy

About: I’ve had a dog all my life, have pet sit for many dogs, cats, and even a rabbit! I love animals and have knowledge about all sorts of pets. I am a student at Butler University and have just a couple classes with a lot of extra time each week. At home I have a dog and my sorority house also has a dog. Making sure pets are comfortable and safe is my number 1 priority. I even did my Girl Scout Gold Award project about keeping dogs from getting scared and running away and how to find them if it happens.

“Both Kelce and I loved Leigh. She showed Kelce so much love when we met for the first time and Kelce loved her back! I will definitely recommend and will continue to work with her.”

About: I’m a dog lover and grew up with three dogs! I live in NJ with my family, daughter, and Vizsla. I’m 35 years old and work part time. I’m home most days during the week. I love animals and have experience caring for all different breeds! I’ve cared for Viszlas, doodles, Yorkies, black labs , Italian greyhounds, and other small/large breeds!! I love long walks with our dog and morning runs. I always have experience with high energy dogs and know how important it is to play games and give them exercise. I would love to watch your best friend :) I understand how important someone’s dog means to them and I want to be able to help make the process comfortable for both you and your pet! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time during the week to play with your dog and give them exercise. I’m available for long walks, exercise, games, feeding, and regular check ins When caring for a dog in someone’s home it’s important to give them time to get used to you and make sure they feel comfortable

About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or sitting at your home. However, some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, feel free to message me to explore, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that they can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, we are a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie and uncle who are both home full time — me as the primary caretaker, and my partner as a backup (if you’d like). It helps make coverage more reliable, and play time feel a lot more like family time for your pup (except no kids). We are not the types to be addicted to our phones because we believe in being present when spending time with fur friends. We also typically don’t take in too many so that we can provide more attention, and be available when you need us. It’s quality over quantity for us! :) Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, so don’t worry about that. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but my spouse and I are both currently home in NJ full-time. I believe in mutual respect, gentle care, and transparency, and would treat your pup the same way I would want mine to be cared for. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel comforted that they are safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. My family always had dogs growing up. My first dog, Spooner, was with me since infancy. I helped train and raise my second dog, Merlin, from a puppy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing special care. I am also skilled in training basic commands and ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. As an adolescent, I would take care of my neighbor's cats when they went away. I got my cat, Stevie, 3 years ago. I’m excellent at taking care of cats and ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and have clean litter boxes. My experience includes administering medications and providing a calm, loving environment for cats of all ages. I look forward to the day I can get a dog, but until then, I will enjoy caring for others' dogs and cats. As a teacher, I have the summer off, so I’ll have plenty of time to take good care of your pups! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dedicated and attentive care throughout the day. I have a cozy, safe home for you dogs to stay at overnight or for an extended periods of time. I'm also happy to provide drop-in visits or to stay in your home. I'm a skilled communicator and will always be courteous and respectful of your residence.

About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets... I'm currently working full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your poppies! I'm available for boarding on weekends and holidays, just let me know in advance. I can’t take care of your dog in my house, I can take it for a walk or take care in your house. I am so socially.

“Barbara is fantastic! Professional, prompt and friendly, it was obvious that she was perfect for our dog Tux. I highly recommend Barbara.”

About: I have watched family, friends and neighborhood dogs for short and long term while also tending to cats. I treat every pet as they were my own because they are your family member and should be treated with love and care. I work full time but also a hybrid schedule but when I care for your pets they will have my full attention as they should. I will treat them as my own and make sure I am available for any of my clients needs. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run and have fun in a safe space. While in my clients home I will respect their home while learning the ins and outs to make sure I can tend to the pets every need and make sure I can take care of them in any scenario.
