“Great with Cal! Anthony is very responsive, responsible, and always on time. I was not worried about Cals health or safety at all when we were gone. I will definitely request him in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.
“Linda was outstanding. Came exactly at the requested walk times, quickly picked up on Teddy's walk habits and observed several chronic conditions for which Teddy is already receiving care from our vet. A total joy to work with.”
“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”
About: My partner and I have been dog sitting for five years. Prior to that, we both grew up with family dogs and are very familiar and comfortable with a wide variety of dogs and breeds. We are incredibly enthusiastic, loving, and kind towards all animals. A stay with us if fun for your pet and for us! We love going on walks, and we live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex/neighborhood. We hope you’ll have your furry friend come stay with us! I am dog-sitting full time and my wife, Kayla, works remotely from home most days. Together we give your dogs the utmost care and attention. Attentiveness is the most important thing for us when with pets. In our home, we make sure that we can see the dog playing at all times. We put items away that are not dog-friendly, and we clear out space for playing and downtime. On walks, we are always attentive to the dog and how they behave and interact with other people, dogs and other animals in the neighborhood. A stay with us is always fun for the dog, but we like to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for. We also value communication. You putting your pet in our care while you are away, and we understand the trust that it takes to leave a member of your family with us. We give as many updates as you’d like via messenger and numerous photos or videos throughout the day. We are always reachable and willing to let you know how your dog’s stay is going. I’m currently working remotely. I tutor part-time from home, but I’m almost always home and I make pet sitting a priority. I used to be a teaching assistant, so I am very reliable and used to being responsible for others’ loved ones. I live in a very safe apartment complex. The buildings look like town homes, it is away from the main roads, and the complex Is pet friendly with lots of grass areas for your little guy or girl to do their business. It’s a wonderful welcoming community. I have my own entrance to my apartment and all the dogs in the community are wonderful.
About: My experience with animals is anything but ordinary. My journey started as a fearless kid who found joy in looking after the nervous, afraid, and wild stray dogs of Russia. Fast forward to today, and I've been a proud owner of two dachshunds, birds, chickens, bees, fish and shrimp. However, that is not where my animal adventure begins. I used to ride and care for horses, so you can trust me when I say that your dog pulling me is nothing I haven't experienced from a thousand-pound horse :). Whether it's a teacup puppy or a Great Dane, I've got the patience and love to handle them all. If you're looking for a dog walker who's not afraid to get a little dirty, look no further. I'm your go-to person for everything dog-related. Let's go on an adventure together! I work during the week but my weekends are open. Need me in the early morning? No problem! My 5:00 am alarm is already set. The same goes for late evenings. I understand how important it is for high energy breeds to get their daily exercise, which is why I give walkers the chance to customize their type of walk. If your dog would prefer a jog in the morning instead of a walk to wear him out for the day, say no more, my running shoes are already on. I used to be a runner for SE England, so I have no issues fulfilling the exercise needs of our furry client. Prefer a lazy stroll? No problem, we’ll walk around and make sure to smell every rose (or fire hydrant). We'll take our time, explore the neighborhood, and make sure to sniff out anything that catches our fancy. 2 hour walk? I'll make sure to bring the both of us a water bottle.
“Alyssa was terrific with our dog, Teddy, who tends to be shy, doesn't warm up to strangers easily. Alyssa helped us out during a difficult time. We would highly recommend Alyssa.”
“Caren was wonderful with Hailey! She was so gentle and thoughtful, especially with the cold weather—she made sure Hailey was comfortable and even played with her instead of just doing a quick walk. I really appreciate how caring she was. Highly recommend!"”
“Linda does a wonderful job walking our two nervous pups. They are unsure of strangers but she gives them time to warm up to her. I feel very comfortable having her walk them. Recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I volunteer at an animal shelter and I love it. I have always been the go to person in my neighborhood when someone is out of town and needs someone to stop by their house or even care for their pets. I currently work part time so I have extra time on my hands. I have a large dog of my own and two cats so pet care is not unfamiliar to me Because I have a large dog of my own and two cats, I know what their needs and wants are. I have had pets since I could remember

Faith has been incredibly accommodating and flexible during the weather related visit adjustments to the schedule. I have had detailed information on the walks and photos. I would highly recommend Faith as a conscientious and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Faith.
I am so incredibly grateful for Hailey. She started walking Gus just last week, and it’s already clear how special she is. Gus absolutely adores her - which says everything. She’s kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also been wonderfully flexible and accommodating, which has meant the world to me. I can’t recommend her highly enough - truly the best dog walker I could have asked for.
Vivian had been an amazing dog walker for my pup. She comes about once a week and is trustworthy and reliable. She send us updates and pictures and we know our dog is in good hands. Our pup tends to be nervous around strangers but we know she is very comfortable with Vivian. I cannot recommend Vivian enough!
Anthony is an absolute gem! He is clearly passionate about what he dues and very knowledgeable. My extremely reactive dog immediately relaxed around him and was lying at his feet within the first 2 minutes of the visit and my very yappy pomsky didn’t bark at him once. I highly recommend booking this dog whisperer to anyone, we are so happy we found him!
So glad it went so well! She’s always happy after you’ve been here. I’ll be vacationing here and there over the next couple of weeks, not much walking needed. But very like the 21st and/or the 22nd depending on how my grandson’s games go. Are you available on those dates?🤞
