“Dong is an absolutely amazing dog walker! He has been walking my pup for the past ten days, and he has been incredibly understanding and flexible, especially during the chaos of my home renovations. Dong has consistently gone above and beyond, ensuring my pup gets plenty of exercise and is always happy and well-cared for. I'm so grateful for his reliability and dedication. I highly recommend Dong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

“Great presentation and carenofnmynpippy. Puppy connected with him and came home super happy!! Great shots of his play time. Ray was flexible, easy to communicate with and super pleasant. Will happily rebook.”


“Frankie is absolutely amazing! My dog Nardo had a wonderful time on every walk with him. He always came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way—clearly well-exercised and content. One of the cutest things was how Nardo would wait by the door for Frankie, tail wagging with excitement. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that my dog, who is basically my son, was in such caring and trustworthy hands. Frankie is not only great with dogs but also a genuinely awesome person. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker!”

“I think the countless pictures with hordes of happy pups on her profile already speak volumes, but to echo the many others, Jenid is a gift to Hoboken/Jersey City’s dog community. She’s extremely communicative and caring, and expressed a clear passion for animal care. She takes great care of my Doberman, attentive to his happiness, health, and well being like it’s second nature. She’s the Michael Jordan of dog walkers.”

“If there was an option for more than 5 stars, Emily would be receiving them. She is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever encountered. She is kind and patient with my two older, stubborn dogs. Each week, she arrives with a smile and takes the dogs out, rain or shine, whether they want to go or not (they are quite lazy). We are incredibly fortunate to have found Emily!”

About: I am a remote worker who is able to stop in and take care of your pets any time of day. I have a very flexible schedule. I am a remote worker who spends most of my time at home.

About: Hi, I’m Jocelyn! Based in McGinley Square, Jersey City, I offer flexible pet care with experience handling all kinds of personalities, from bouncy pups to chill cats. My own toy poodle, Honey, is friendly but prefers her personal space, and my two cats are wonderfully independent. I’ve cared for pets big and small, energetic or easygoing, and always incredibly lovable. As a fourth-year neuropsychology student, I spend most of my time studying at home and am only out a few hours a day for class or my internship. I tend to read my textbooks aloud while studying, and every fur baby I’ve looked after seems to enjoy a mini lecture on neural systems! 🧠🐾 Whether your pet wants cuddles, quiet company, or a walking buddy with treats in her pocket, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 My social life mostly involves textbooks and tail wags! I spend a lot of time at home studying or relaxing, which makes pet care an easy and enjoyable part of my routine. I like to work with each owner to find what schedule and style of care fit best for their pet’s needs. You can trust that your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In My Home: Your pet will have a cozy, safe space where they can relax comfortably, especially if they prefer quiet or personal space. I provide structured routines with regular feeding, walks, and playtimes, always keeping an eye on their comfort and stress levels. Pets are allowed on the furniture. If you'd like your dog to be crated, please provide your own crate. In Clients’ Homes: I ensure each visit feels familiar and comforting for your pet, sticking to their routine as much as possible. I refresh food, water, and any bedding as needed, and provide companionship and plenty of play. My focus is on creating a seamless transition so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away.
“Alicia is amazing! My dog loved her so much upon meeting, and she was an absolute life saver when I left for vacation. She is prompt, always updates with many photos, and let’s you know everything! She is definitely my permanent dog walker from now on.”

About: Genuine compassionate care from a dog owner’s eyes. I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and have done some volunteer work for shelters. I believe all animals are precious and yours is too. I work from home and my schedule is fairly flexible, can be done at basically any time of the day I want. So I can fit in anywhere when needed 2 daily walks minimum, extensive attention and play, and being sure needs are met. Most pets thrive off structure, and knowing a good schedule for them is best
“Emily does a great job with my pup Dolce! She was my dog sitter for when I went out of town for 5 nights and I came home to a happy pup! The apartment was clean and tidy when I came home. She gave me updates along the way and when I got settled back into town I decided to hire her as my regular dog walker for Dolce. She comes twice a week and takes her out. She takes photos along the walk and I feel confident that Dolce is being looked after well. Highly recommend!”

“Chelsea was amazing with my baby!!!! She gave me a lot of updates and spent her time getting to know him and forming a relationship with him. Highly recommend. My dog & I were very happy with her!”

“Shaina is so kind and patient with the pups as they got used to her for the first day or two. One of my dogs can be moody and she handled him with grace and patience until he was comfortable. Highly recommend!”

“This is our second time using Christina and she shined like the bright star that she is once again. She is just so great and a true dog whisperer. She really cares for dogs as her own, and I see that with my beloved banjo. She is also so great with walks and boarding and such because we found out she has training and works to become a vet tech. Literally trust your dog with Christina. She’s the only person on Rover I’d ever trust.”

“David has been a routine dog walker for our 8 year old black lab. He is on-time, and sends detailed updates with photos. Our Cali loves seeing him. David is super responsive and communicates clearly about any changes well in advance.”
