Dog Walking Blackwood

“Mary has been amazing walking my dog everyday while I'm at work. Unfortunately I was laid off so I won't need a dog walker, but if you can get Mary to be yours she will be amazing!”

About: Hi everybody! I come from a dog family where I have watched, taken care of, and continue to walk my grandparent’s 2 golden retrievers, my Aussie labradoodle, and my mother’s 3 golden doodles. I currently am a part-time nursing student, work full time at Jefferson Health, and enjoy exercise. I have my Tuesday and Thursday mornings/afternoons (almost exclusively) for dog walking! That being said, if you would prefer a different day of the week or time please reach out so I can accommodate your schedule. Thank you I offer dog walking services for either a 30 minute or 60 minute for the energetic pups! With our family dogs, they love to walk a couple times a week with me, so I am sure that your dogs will too!!

“Amy is so sweet and friendly! She was available pretty quickly for a meet and greet, and my dog immediately warmed up to her! I appreciated her flexibility with walking my dog and sending me detailed reports with pictures. I will definitely rebook Amy for any future needs!”

About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.

About: I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!

“Meant to send this earlier. I appreciate all your help with Chance. Have a great holiday!”

About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my schedule becomes a bit more dynamic. Feel free to reach out and see if our availabilities are a match! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!

“Jenny has been unbelievably kind and patient with my shy rescue Jesse. He is responding quickly to her positive energy, learning to be friends and allow her to walk him. She has brought her husband Anthony and little daschund so they can walk together, a beautiful healing experience for my unsocialized, scared dog. They are gems and we are so lucky to have we found them!!”

About: I have experience with larger dogs, small dogs, and cats as well. I help cater to any special needs or requests you may have such as administering medicine, special diets, and keeping you updated on their well being. Good for quick walks or staying with your pet overnight. I worked everyday in Brooklyn, NY as a dog walker/pet sitter from 2019 to 2023. I have since then been traveling around as a pet sitter for the last two years in-between taking care of some important family business. I have grown up raising German Shepherds all of my life and love to know that I am helping someone's day out by being able to care for their pet while they are not able to. I am currently available for any time and can even travel to you if needed for extended overnight stays. Your pet's needs come first for me. I will care for your pet at your home and follow the routine they are used to. Whatever makes them most comfortable is how I will take good care of them.

“Maddie gives great services to my Sammy. She's always on time and has not missed any time since she started with Sammy. She follows through with pictures when walking him, and communicates with me immediately when I reach out to her.”

About: First of all I would like to say that I love dogs. But doesn’t everyone? I have had dogs since I was a little child, labrador retriever and a German Shepherd. I have two children living with me and the third teenager on most weekends. We all love dogs. I can take your dog to the local dog park and run with him/her or I can take them to your neighborhood to walk or mine your preference. I also have an American hairless terrier who doesn’t like the cold or the rain LOL. I also have a kitten that’s about six months old and they get along very well. I am very flexible with pick up and drop off times and I understand that life happens and I can accommodate most requests for changes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12! I have been my family friends’ go-to pet sitter when they travel and take care of my brother’s dog for weeks at a time. I’m currently in school and my schedule varies, but I usually have free time in between classes and would love to use my extra time to spend with your pet! I will respect your home as my own and love your pet as my own too. I am a very neat, organized, and dependable person.

About: I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 15 years. I have experience with walking, boarding, and training all types of breeds. All ages are welcome, from puppies to senior dogs. I am self-employed, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pet. My schedule is built to provide steady, dependable routine care right when you and your dog need it most. Your home and your pet’s safety are my absolute top priorities. Because I focus strictly on dog walking and drop-in visits at your location, here is exactly how I maintain a secure, high-trust environment: • Home Security: I take house keys and entry codes very seriously. I only access your home via your designated secure entry method (like a lockbox or keypad), and I double-check that your door is completely locked and secure both when I arrive and when I leave. • Clean & Polite: I respect your space. I drop in quietly, focus 100% on your dog, and ensure your home is left exactly how I found it—wiping muddy paws if it is raining and making sure gates or doors are securely latched. • Dedicated Neighborhood Safety: Walks are always done on a secure, reliable leash setup in your immediate neighborhood. I strictly practice one-on-one walking, meaning your dog will never be mixed with dogs from other families or taken to crowded, unpredictable dog parks. • Transparent Communication: You will get a real-time update and photos the second the visit is done, so you never have to wonder how things went.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and my ability to tailor care to each dog’s needs. I’m patient with puppies, helping reinforce routines like potty training and leash skills, and attentive with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I keep dogs on their usual schedule, prioritize safety, and make sure they feel calm, secure, and loved while in my care. As a college student with a part-time job, I have a flexible schedule with days off dedicated to pet care, along with daily experience caring for my own dogs. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s pace and energy level, ensuring exercise, bathroom breaks, and comfort during every visit.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, from large and small dogs to cats and horses. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply giving them some extra love and attention, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. 🐾 I have a flexible daily schedule that works around my children’s school hours, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m generally available from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or other special care as instructed. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I also understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. 🐾

About: Lauren here! I have always had multiple dogs in my home of various sizes. Having such a vast array of dogs means I’ve handled all kinds of personalities and lifestyles, such as: the various walkers - off leash dogs to 120 lb dog that pulls, various energy levels, even various health issues - kidney disease, thyroid issues, hip dysplasia, bladder stones, eye issues. We have always had cats, as well, so I completely understand the importance of cleaning out the litter box, providing fresh water, and even just being there for your cat whether they want some scratches or to play. With cats, I also have plenty of experience administering medicine orally, SQ & transdermal. In May 2020, I graduated with my degree in Chemistry-Biology from West Chester University that I hope to use working with animals. During my college career, I shadowed at a veterinary office for two months. During that time, I got to oversee surgeries, injections, and daily routines. For a year after college, I had been working in a veterinary office - assisting in appointments, administering medication, becoming familiar with various medications and dosaging, & even just noticing the small details. Dogs, cats, & all pets are family, they deserve the best kind of treatment and love! I promise I can be the one to give your pets nothing less than the best! I work Sun-Thurs, typically 9-4. Outside of those hours, your pet is my main priority! I can head right to your pet(s) after work. As long as their medication or potty breaks work with my schedule, which I will always be 100% transparent and honest if they do not. Your pet deserves the best! Inside the home, pets are welcome on the couch, the bed, the various dog beds, blankets - truly whatever they please. Any special requirements you have for your dog, I will work into my routine so your dog has that same consistency as they do in their own home - that could be: a special diet, a stricter diet, getting treats at certain times, getting their teeth brushed, etc. If it’s something that will make you more comfortable, let me know and I’ll be happy to try and provide that! In a client’s home, I try and care for the pet as close to what the owner provides for their own pet (& better if possible, but it’s hard to outlove a pet parent’s love for their own). Consistency is key on allowing that pet to feel comfortable with me in such a short time span, as they would their family.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. As a child I cared for cats and now as an adults I care for my dogs and my family and friends dogs as well. Love taking dogs for walks and to the park. Experienced in bathing dogs as well. I work full-time as a teacher, but I am available on weekends to stop in and check on your animals or take them for a walk. I am willing to watch animals in my house over the weekend as well. I have two for babies that will keep yours company. Plenty of space for them to play in and out side of the house. No fence but I have a lead, and I am happy to take many walks a day.

“This was my first time with Britney and I could not be more happy. She was great with my puppers and sent a picture of him getting a treat after their walk. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I think that animals make the world a better place. I’m committed to giving them wonderful care and and a friendly, warm embrace every time! I am currently retired and enjoy spending my free time spoiling my animals and others. Animals are better than humans. I take my dog for multiple walks a day. I go out of my way to ensure that the pets feel safe and comfortable in my presence. That’s what means the most to me.

“If you are looking for an experienced, considerate, and dedicated dog walker/sitter, then you've found your match! Gregory has provided dog walks and overnight care for our 60lb hound mix multiple times over the last few months and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He is incredibly communicative, provides very detailed updates after every walk (with plenty of pictures included), and has shown the utmost dedication to understanding our dog Izzy and her specific behavioral needs. We have worked with many positive reinforcement trainers in the past to address our pups over-excitability and leash reactivity and Gregory using much of the same language as these dog trainers when discussing strategies he used on his walks with Izzy to help redirect and keep her focused and safe. Our pup is very scent driven on walks which can require a lot of patience and steady redirection, and we are so grateful for how kind and gentle Gregory is when handling Izzy. We've only had one overnight experience with Gregory so far and he took great care of our home and left the house spotless! He also ensured us that he only books one overnight stay at a time to avoid any conflicts in schedule and make sure our dog has company throughout the night and to keep her safe in the event of an emergency. All that being said, you will have no regrets choosing with work with Gregory and we feel very fortunate to have found him!”
