Dog Walkers in Blackwood, NJ

About: I started using Rover way back in 2013, doing housesitting and dog walks! Took a break for a long time, but I'm on the school schedule so my summer is open! In 2026 I have my own home with a fenced yard, a small dog who loves visitors, and some dog-friendly cats. Your dog will love it here! I'm on school hours, so I wake up early for a morning potty break for my dog, then he eats his breakfast while I get myself put together, then a quick leashed walk. He's alone for about seven hours. We have a potty break, playtime, dinner, an evening leashed walk, and usually another potty break in the yard around 10pm. During the summer break things change a little, my dog is alone a maximum of five hours, I'm not on quite as early a schedule. My yard is fenced! Small dogs can potentially wiggle under my gate, so yard breaks are supervised. I have a patio and many toys as well as plenty of grass to roll around in.

“Extremely friendly, punctual and followed all the instructions thoroughly. We felt very comfortable having Christian stay and walk Zorro. Definitely went, above and beyond. Will definitely repeat him.”

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!

“Lisa is a gem. She made herself available with short notice and was kind and patient with me as a new puppy parent to the rover app. Most importantly I was able to enjoy a day off without feeling guilty and worrying about leaving my puppy’s home for an extended time.”

“I’ve been using Katia for the past few weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she gives my dog. She is always punctual, professional, and genuinely loves animals. My pup comes back from every walk happy and well-exercised, and I appreciate the regular updates and photos during their adventures. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in good hands when I’m at work. Highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”

About: Hi, I’m Jai! I’m a passionate animal lover, certified dog groomer, and dedicated pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — even when they’re away from their family. 🐶✨ My journey with animals began through my 4 years in FFA (Future Farmers of America), where I gained hands-on experience with animal care, responsibility, and proper handling. I also have experience working on a farm, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, patience, safety, and the importance of providing consistent care. Throughout high school, I completed 4 years of agriculture classes, including animal science and anatomy studies, which helped me better understand animal health, body structure, and overall well-being. Along with my dog grooming certification, I have built a strong foundation in caring for dogs and understanding their individual needs. I am also continuing my education with the goal of opening my own affordable, high-quality dog care facility, where every pet can receive loving, dependable care without families having to worry about the cost. My passion is creating a place where dogs feel at home and owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring hands. I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup is a playful adventurer, a shy sweetheart, a senior needing extra patience, or a cuddle-loving companion, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable. When your dog is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Safe, reliable, and personalized attention 🐾 Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection 🐾 Walks and activities based on your dog’s energy level 🐾 Grooming knowledge and attention to their comfort 🐾 Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected 🐾 A patient, caring, and responsible environment Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’m passionate about and continue to build my future around. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own. 🐕💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I’m already dedicated to creating a structured, safe, and loving environment. My days are built around routines, responsibility, and making sure everyone’s needs are met — including my furry guests. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. One of the things that makes my home special is my 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and exploring. My property includes a walking trail, a river area, and an invisible fence system that helps provide an added layer of security while they enjoy the outdoors. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every pup is comfortable and cared for during outdoor activities. I love creating a home-away-from-home experience where dogs can relax, have fun, and receive personalized attention. Between my animal care background, grooming experience, and love for dogs, I’m committed to giving each pet the patience, care, and affection they deserve. I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide personalized care. My daily routine allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, including regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, playtime, exercise, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. I have 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised adventures, including a trail for walks, open areas to play, and access to nature while being protected by an invisible fence system for added security. I understand that every dog is different, so I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, comfort preferences, and daily habits. My background as a certified dog groomer, along with my experience through FFA, agriculture classes, and working on a farm, has helped me understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of patience and proper care. My goal is to provide a home-away-from-home experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they are receiving dependable, attentive care. 🐾If a pet is crate-trained or an owner requests it, I can comfortably use crates for rest periods, meals, or bedtime to help maintain their normal routine. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, and I work to keep their schedules as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while away from home.

About: Long day of work or play? Don't let your dog get lonely, cooped up, or risk having an accident! Let them stretch their legs for a while with someone who is passionate about animal welfare. I am well-versed in both senior dogs and puppies, dogs with allergies and special needs, and leash training. Please me know if you are working on special commands, if your dog has any allergies or is on medications. Feel free to negotiate longer visits. About this sitter: Jordi is a big-time animal lover. From her family dogs to her pet hedgehog Wesley, she loves spending as much time as possible around animals as well as learning about exotic ones. She is an active volunteer at local shelters, creating enrichment activities and taking dogs for long walks. I'm currently unemployed in this disaster of a job market. While seeking full-time employment I am home 100% or at the local animal shelter volunteering. Whether it's couch cuddling, playing tug or fetch, games to give them mental stimulation, long walks, or socializing with other dogs, I am happy to follow your requests based on your dog's individual needs and preferences.

About: Hello! My name is Nicholas I’m 24, and I have a love for all pets! I’m also going to be graduating the following couple years for my degree for business management. I am going to be graduating with a business management degree and will be using this to reach my ultimate goal to open my doggy boarding service/grooming/training/veterinary clinic. It may seem like a lot to do but I’m willing to put the time and effort in and I’m already halfway there so I’m not stopping now! So this I believe will set me apart from the “doing it for extra money” I’m in this for the experience and to gain as much knowledge as possible about different dogs because ultimately this is my passion and career choice and has been since I was a little boy. Now you may ask what has lead me here and that’s been years in the making. I was always that kid in the woods or out back with a bucket trying to catch lizards, snakes, frogs all types of creatures. I basically would just enjoy catching animals looking at them and then letting them back go because I knew they had their own families to go to. So all my life I’ve just been revolves around animals animals and more animals! Even though my parents didn’t really like pets as much as me I still had that passion! But back to the main reason I’m here now, it’s becuase I have a huge love for dogs that has never gotten old and it’s not just money for me it’s something I genuinely do enjoy with my whole heart. I will always go above and beyond for you best friend and I will make sure they are happy and healthy when they are in my care! So I really hope that you give me a chance I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently full time on dog and animal boarding/walking/care services! I’m fully invested in my dream of opening my own veterinary hospital in the future that’s actually affordable. So I’m here whenever you need me! My home offers a semi fenced in environment and we have a LARGE backyard with our own river we love to walk, we also have some trails in our yard too!

About: Hi. I grew up with dogs and cats and have had cats in my home for the past 20+ years. I have had more than one cat that has required daily medication over an extended period of time so I am comfortable giving meds. I have experience dog and cat-sitting for friends, family and coworkers. I know how difficult it is to go away and leave your furry family members home alone. I work from home now so I can work around your schedule and your pets schedule and give you that peace of mind you need while away. I will do more than just feed your pets. I am happy to walk your dog, brush your pets, get on the floor and play with your pets and I will clean up after them whenever necessary. I am an animal lover and would be honored to care for your furry family.

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

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: Hi, my name is Olivia and I love all animals but have always had a soft spot for dogs! I have had dogs my entire life with having a german shepherd as a child and a black lab mix! I have worked at an animal shelter in Alexandria as an ACT (animal care technician) so I work with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I currently am a vet student in the area on an internship! I’m super looking forward to looking after your dog!!

About: I mostly have experience caring for cats, but have gotten very comfortable with a variety of dogs as well. Always up for more time with any pets! I am in school full time and don't work so my afternoons and nights are very free unless I have an event. On weekends I am usually home most of the day as well. I'll be able to spend as much time as needed with your pet or pets and will care for them as well as your home as if they were my own!

“Very nice, very friendly, very helpful.”

Livia A.

About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was very young, from birds to cats and lizards to dogs, being tasked to walk, care for, feed, and just generally oversee. I am also a current Pre-veterinarian undergrad, and am confident in my taught abilities to both handle and treat animals. I love working with any and all animals, and am absolutely thrilled to be working with your furry friends! I'm a fresh animal science graduate from the University of Delaware, and have a pretty flexible schedule. Inquire with what you need, and I'll let you know if the times align! I currently have a very eccentric 3 year old, and as such have experimented a lot in the safest possible options for your pets! I am super confident I can provide a safe environment where trust can be built and your pet is safe.

“John was great! He took wonderful care of our pup, who immediately bonded with him. We also appreciated John’s communication and updates. We’d recommend John, and will be booking with him again in the future.”
