Alex and Kate have been amazing! I’m new to Jersey City and finding a dog walker for my pups was at the top of my to do list when I got here. Alex and Kate have been so great! They took time to get to know my dogs at a meet and greet and were so patient with my timid guy. They have sent me pictures and let me know how the walks are going. They have also had great communication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker!!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have cared for my own dogs with love and dedication for as long as I can remember, and for the past two years I have also cared for other people’s pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away.” 🐾🤍 currently work part-time, but I will be fully available for one month from June 18 to June 29. During that time, I will be working full-time, available Monday through Saturday all day and overnight, and I can care for pets in my home with lots of love and attention. In my home, I provide a safe and pet-friendly environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I have a park just one house away where I regularly take pets to play and get exercise. I also have toys at home to keep them entertained, active, and happy throughout the day. Your pet will receive lots of attention, playtime, and loving care as if they were my own.

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

About: Hello my name is Shanel Smith. I am a aspiring actor, model, and poet. What makes me different from the rest is that i know how to make people and dogs feel at home. I am very open and like minded to whom ever i meet. Both the dog and the owner are going to love how I engage with them. Dogs need love and affection just like human beings. They respond to what's right and wrong, and since they are spiritual creatures they are going to pick up on my aura. i have always been a animal lover they understand me and i understand them. My availability is flexible and I’m very compassionate about what I do. As I was growing up my dog was my baby brother I shared everything with him cleaned up after him and gave him all the attention he deserved. I also love to run and play them. Bath time is the best! And just like taking care of a baby you have to be on a schedule and have great time-management skills. Both the owner and the dog are going to appreciate what I bring to the table.

About: I love cats and dogs, so no matter what kind of furry friends you have, we will enjoy our time together! I'm a professional dancer working in the mental health field, so I understand how important our animals can be to our lives. I am mostly free on the weekends, but I am also free after work ends at 5pm. I am very good at engaging the animals when necessary and calming them when needed, too! I have two cats at home and have taken very good care of them. I know the psychology of introducing two animals so they get along together. I had a dog when I was younger and took him on many walks. Although he was small, I have pet sat for chocolate labs and poodles, so I have experience with all kinds of animals! Do not hesitate to ask me any questions! I'd be happy to look after your pets! I have two 10 month old kittens that are brother and sister, so I feed them and take care of them every day. I have a whole set up with scratching posts, cat couches, and more to make them feel at home. I always ensure to keep unsafe objects and foods out of the reach of animals. This includes any personal items like medications. I also ensure to calmly redirect any unwanted behavior in the home through play.

We had a fantastic experience with Isaac. We reached out very last minute after getting rejected a few times, and he accepted our request right away. We are new to the area and still trying to find reliable walkers and sitters, so his quick response meant a lot. He was super communicative from the start and even agreed to a meet and greet the same day as the walk. We found out he already walks another dog in our building, which immediately made us feel more comfortable. He was friendly, personable, and incredibly accommodating. I accidentally switched the times on the request, and he still made it work with only minor adjustments. Isaac was open and honest, sent great photos, and took wonderful care of our pets. We truly lucked out that he accepted our last minute request. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring walker.

Alexandra stayed at my place and took such good care of my dog (and my place). She sent daily updates and sent pics of their adventures throughout her stay. I found her on Rover and chose her based on reviews. I had an emergency situation so I could not meet her in person and instead we had a video chat. I couldn’t recommend her enough! My pup loved her. Would highly recommend her to others. Thank you!

She cared for my dog Zorro while my husband & I traveled, and updated me with pictures and questions along the way! Even though my two cats were not part of her duties, she was nice enough to update me on them. I plan on booking with Ana come further travels! Thank you once again.
