“Wow - I cannot thank Boryana enough for all of her patience and professionalism! She was the first dog walker we EVER hired for our dog. With two young kids and both working parents it was becoming increasingly difficult to take our dog out on all his needed walks. I must admit we were super nervous about getting someone else to walk our dog because he does not do well with strangers. Boryana made sure to take it step by step every day to the point that our dog got so comfortable with her and was looking forward to his walks with her! She was always punctual and very communicative. Thank you Boryana!!”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Kate! From the moment we met, it was clear she has a genuine love for dogs and our Harvey absolutely thrives during their walks. Kate consistently go above and beyond, making sure Harvey gets plenty of exercise, and mental stimulation. We always receive detailed updates with photos, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing Harvey is having a blast. Kate has become a trusted part of our family and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch dog walker.”
“Our dog loves the time he spends with Michaela. She happily accommodates our requests to extend each visit to allow time for play and a feeding on top of a walk. She sends photos and updates which puts us at ease. Michaela is flexible and responds quickly - both of which we appreciate so much when planning care for our dog! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Jesko was energized after his walks with Toni. She was great to communicate with and prompt with her support. Would definitely book her again, as I know Jesko would appreciate it too.”
About: I have experience with all-size pups. I grew up with dogs, and we had an amazingly well-mannered German Shepherd and 2 lovely cats. Sadly, they all passed away, and we are ready to love on your pets <3 I’m a housewife and graduate student. So, I’m always home with the pups! I am also a certified pet nutritionist, and I have experience working in a pet store. We send pictures, videos, and daily updates so you know how your fur baby is doing throughout the day :) My husband Kevin and I work as a team! I am always home and can easily care for your pup’s needs throughout the day! We can take walks, go out, and cuddle all day. For drop-in visits, my husband Kevin and I either visit together or either one of us goes to walk/check in on your baby :) We have a fenced in yard to get all the zoomies out and still go for walks for extra exercise and exploration. We only take one family at a time to ensure safety and maximum cuddles!
“Kristina was great! She followed all of my instructions perfectly and was super sweet to my dog, even when my dog was being a bit difficult. She communicated well and was respectful of my home while I was away. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: 3 households have trusted me long term in the past with their dogs. These ranged from simple walking and feeding to teaching habits and commands. I do better with Big Dogs (I owned a Border Collie[Oreo] for 12 years) and understand the basic communications of dog. As a student at UNA I attend to dogs in the afternoon after classes and do not walk dog on the days where I have multiple classes (M,W,R) I thrive in backyards where there is training equipment to exercise and teach the dog as well as inside relaxation where the pets can rejuvenate. Will only cage upon request.
“Elizabeth is a wonderful dog walker! I'm very happy with her, and so is my dog! She is always on time, patient with my dog, Ivy, and doesn't let her eat grass! Ivy has gotten to know the sound of Elizabeth's car and starts getting excited to see her before she even gets the car parked! I've booked Elizabeth for another week!”
“Ashley did phenomenal and went above and beyond when I needed someone in rather short notice. She always kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures of my pup while I was away. She is able to easily establish a great connection with animals. You can tell she has a genuine compassion and love for animals, especially when they are apart from their owner. Ashley is very professional, friendly, and skillful at caring for animals. Despite having a prior engagement to attend a wedding, she came back afterwards late at night to care for my dog when my flight was delayed. I highly recommend Ashley as she is an excellent care giver.”
“Wonderful care for our puppy. She was kind and patient, really helpful. Flexible schedule and was available to help out last minute. We are very pleased and will look forward ro many more booking for our little Ahsoka.”
“Krystal was really worderful with Rosie. Krystal follows instructions as to Rosie's care. Rosie is a night owl so I gave Krystal a window in which she could do their walk. She was on time all the time. If your looking for someone caring for your best friend, you can't go wrong with Krystal!”
About: I began working in pet care in 2013, as an assistant to the owner of a Monmouth County-based pet care business in New Jersey. I loved meeting new cat and dog friends, and I’m excited to meet yours! During overnight stays and daytime visits, I pay attention to details like following owners’ precise instructions, efficiently cleaning up after accidents, engaging pets with their favorite toys, and just loving on them. Dog walks are one of the best parts of dog care, since getting fresh air, exercising, and taking in a good view can really enhance the day. Not to mention the cute photos that come with it! My current home and work life allow me to keep a flexible schedule, so I am enjoying building new relationships with local pets and their owners. I am typically an early riser. I work a mix of in-person and remote shifts. I am happy to adapt to your pet’s feeding/walking schedule. I am super hands-on with my clients’ pets. I approach them calmly so we can build rapport with each other. I give them lots of love and play time!
“Dana is such a great walker. We always know our dog Roux is in good hands when she walks her. She always goes above and beyond! We especially enjoy the detailed updates.”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighborhood’s friendly Shih Tzu whenever his parents would go out of town for the past 10 years. I hope to take care of your dog as though it were my own while he/she is in my home. I am confident that my experience taking care of patients will reflect in my attentiveness to your dog. Regular feeding, bathroom, and playtime guaranteed 👍 I’m currently working virtually and largely asynchronously so I can meet your dog’s needs at all times during those days which I have indicated my availability. My home consists of two pet-loving parents and myself—no children are in the house. The house is kept clean, with all food placed in inaccessible cabinets. There are several large fields within the neighborhood that do not require crossing any roads.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I am passionate about pets and the type of care I provide to them. I love having the ability to interact, play and show love to all types of animals. My neighbors, friends and family rely on me to provide the best loving nurturing care to their furry friends. It warms my heart to be able to care for any and all pets. Not to mention I have have a dog of my own, since I was born. I promise to provide the best possible care for all my furry clients that I will have the pleasure of providing care for. I have a very flexible and open schedule, so that I can work around my clients times and needs. I am available for last minute emergencies as well. You can depend on me to have plenty openings for your pets. In any home setting, whether it be mine or the pet owners home, I would make sure to maintain a safe clean environment for the pet. I would ensure they are filled up on fresh clean water and food, and administer any medications if needed. I would follow any and all of the pet owners instructions for caring for their pets. I would always make sure to give the dogs exercise, love and lots of fun playtime!
