Dog Walking Brielle

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping to care for our family pets. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my parents’ dogs while they’ve been away—handling everything from walks and feeding to playtime and keeping them on a routine. Recently, I’ve welcomed a puppy of my own, so I’m especially familiar with the attention, structure and patience younger dogs need. I work from home so can be available for midday walks and and drop-ins. My schedule can vary but is flexible, especially for local visits. I treat every dog like my own and always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and happy. I stick closely to your instructions and your dog’s routine and am mindful to send an update so you feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Nicole is excellent with our golden retriever. He loves her, she sends great pictures to keep us informed. He felt so loved. Highly recommend”

About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and joy I get from being around dogs. Spending time with them never feels like “work” to me! I love playing, going on walks, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies and older dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m very attentive, reliable, and always make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family. As a nursing student, I’m naturally detail-oriented, responsible, and calm under pressure, which helps me provide safe and trustworthy care. My goal is always to make both you and your dog feel at ease. I’ve been babysitting and walking a family of 9 dogs for the past 4 years. I can’t wait to be your dogs new best friend :) Nursing student home from college for the summer, offering dependable and compassionate pet care. Very flexible schedule, attentive to safety, and committed to keeping your dog happy!! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable so pets feel safe and relaxed. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can catch if something seems off. I also make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise because I know how important that is for their happiness.

“Our Boston Terrier Ruben LOVES his weekly visits with Lisa!!! After meeting with her, my wife & I felt confident that Ruben would be in good hands. We enjoy the photos & updates detailing their day together. I’m so glad we found Lisa & are extremely grateful for the time she dedicates to Ruben. Excellent communication, very kind & always prompt. We look forward to Ruben’s continued walks & play time with her! Can’t thank you enough & truly appreciate your help!”

About: Retired school teacher and dog owner for over 30 years. I bring experience in caring for many different breeds. Dogs in my care are family, not pets. All dogs that stay with us are treated and loved as a member of the family. I have experience in dogs with disorders, special diets and weather related stress. Being a school teacher, I am home early afternoon and all weekend/holidays which provides me with plenty of time to care for and love your furbaby. When your pet comes to me, they will have the same access and activities, if desired, as my dog. We have a fenced in yard for unlimited supervised playtime. Your dog will also take walks and relax on the couch.

“Luke was very reliable and great with Sox!”

About: My schedule’s open and flexible so I can truly meet the needs of each family I work with. Some days could start with an early-morning 🔆🐾 walk to get tails wagging, while others might be filled with midday check-ins, playtime in the yard, and even overnight 🐕💖 snuggles for pets who need extra company. I’m currently available every Saturday evening, with open availability Sunday through Tuesday, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and their unique routine. On my walks, I could work on leash skills and basic obedience to help your pup feel safe, confident and well-mannered. I also have experience caring for high-energy dogs who need extra exercise, as well as special-needs pets who may require a gentler pace and more patience. I’m a strong multitasker, attentive to detail, and always make time for excellent communication—sending daily updates, notes, and pictures so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. With First Aid knowledge and Emergency Preparedness, you can trust that your furry loved ones are in safe, capable hands every step of the way. My schedule is open and flexible to fit the needs of pet parents. Whether it’s early-morning 🐶 🐾 walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight care, I can adjust to your pet’s routine. I’m currently available and with plenty of time to dedicate, I’ll make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve while working around your schedule. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort ☀️ in every service I provide. In a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, keeping pets secure, happy, and at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I use owner-provided leashes for secure walks, monitor interactions closely, and follow all dietary or medical needs with precision—because your pet’s well-being is my top priority. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies 🐶 to senior companions. Throughout the years, I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs, including Standard Poodles, Shih Tzus, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, Schnauzers, Labradors, and Beagles. I also bring a lifetime of cat care experience, having raised and loved breeds such as Persians, Himalayans, Torties, and American Shorthairs. 🐈‍⬛

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and am always patient when it comes to caring for pets. I also frequently dog sit and dog walk for family friends. I am a college student home for the summer and am extremely flexible when it comes to drop in times.

I am very active throughout the day so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or play with them until they get tired!

“Joe is the best! He is a willing and understanding dog person for pet parents like me who have more difficult dogs. As his bio indicates his experience with the SPCA and years of pet sitting make him extra special.”

About: Dogs have been in my life forever, mine always my bestfriend. They simply bring joy to me, I can bathe, walk, feed, entertain, cuddle , and understand your pet! I am available before 5:00 PM every day except Thursday and Sunday. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, so I can consistently make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For overnight stays, I just ask for at least one week’s notice whenever possible so I can coordinate my schedule and ensure I can give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As the primary caretaker for my dog, Bear, I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits, walks, and overnight care, and I enjoy spending time with animals as part of my week. This makes caring for other pets feel natural and rewarding for me.

About: Greetings! As a dog owner for most of my life, until recently, I know that ensuring your Pup is well cared for can be the #1 biggest concern of your workday/holiday or any time you’re separated. If you're anything like me then you have undoubtedly spent THOUSANDS on making sure they receive only the best care. My doggy resume: Previous owner of Duke, my cairn terror, who was amazing with people, but terrible with other animals. He had to be leashed at all times and we had to stay clear of other dogs, squirrels and so on. Loved him. I also have experience with an American Pit Bull. She was so loving too and she happened to be deaf. I learned a lot loving and loving her. A few items we will touch base on before our meet and greet: 1. Is your dog a rescue? Do they potentially have an unfortunate history. If so, what is that history and let’s find a way to navigate it, if possible: 2. Are there any medications that will need to be administered? How and when? Do you have a method to do so (pill in food or treat). We don't want them missing anything important. 3. Dietary habits and needs while under my care. Besides time and amount, anything unusual? Or imperative? 4.How frequently does your dog tend to need outside trips? Are they house broken? Tibia okay if not, we all have to learn at some point. Is there a behavior I should be looking out for, it is out of scheduled time? 5. Let's talk walks: Leashes, harnesses, dog parks,other dogs and everything in-between. 6. A typical day in the life; on or off furniture, chewing shoes, rules, other behaviors, do's and dont's. We are open to it all. 7. While an emergency is unlikely, let's set a plan. I'm a Retired small business owner of 20 years. My days are open enough to to help with last minute, emergencies, planned and even separation anxiety pups. I can stay in if needed. If no schedule is given, I will typically follow the below plan: Walks will be first thing in the morning, lunch (12:30-1:30) and in the evening. Breaks needed is fine too! I'm available Monday through Sunday Open to Drop-off and pickup times, but not after 9pm. If you need some added flexibility we can definitely discuss that. I can come to your home for a pickup or drop-off. Our home is bright and airy and we have w big backyard. No rugs, no kids….My mom lives two blocks away with a big backyard with a pool, if your Pup likes the water. And orchard park dog park is a walk away if allowed. One of the biggest CONS of transitioning from a 60 hour work week for 20 years to sitting at home and walking with just the two of us. Because of this, I go on daily walks to the dog park, where we sit for awhile and watch them play. I'm hoping your dog will finally give me a reason to go into the dog park. If dog parks isn't your dogs thing, I can head to a more residential route. Don't worry, I'll be sure to send you a picture or video. And I will make sure to keep open communication, with updates. My days and evenings are open! Monday-Sunday. Nothing in my schedule lasts over 3 hours, so I am pretty much open for your Pup’s needs. I follow directions about the care of your dog to perfection. We have a big backyard, if granted by you, because there’s no fence. We have two bedrooms they can stay in, or they can stay in ours, or in a crate! We are so flexible. There is a dog park we can walk to if allowed. We also have access to my mother’s pool, if allowed, she is within walking distance and her backyard is fenced. Big area to run around and hang out. We have no kids, which makes it even easier!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. I work full-time, but I’m never home later than 6:00 PM and am only about 15 minutes away from home while at work. I can board pets for weekends or longer stays during the week. I make it a priority to check on and care for pets during my lunch break, so they are never left alone for extended periods. Your pet will never be unattended for more than 8 hours, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I will care for your dog according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. If your dog is crate-trained, I can safely crate them when needed and follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Rachel has walked Gus a few times now. They are great together. She is extremely knowledgeable on all dogs and cats needs. He really enjoys his walks with her - you wouldn’t guess that he’s a senior. I would definitely request her again and highly recommend her services to anyone. 10+++ stars!”
