Dog Walkers in Chesilhurst, NJ

“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: Hello there! My name is Lisa. My friends all know me as the animal lover. Any questions they have, they come to me. I've even had multiple offers to take in strays they find.. talk about temptation! I am open to caring for any breeds, big or small! Your dogs and cats will receive lots of love and attention. I will stick to the same schedule they usually receives from you to help their comfort level. You can trust that I will care for them as if they were my own :) I do have experience with administering some medications-willing to work with you on this. Anything you tell me they need, I will do. Message me for further details/instructions. As for your house, it will look as if nobody has been there! I am there with one goal in mind and that is making sure your pets are cared for. I understand that everyone has your own preferences so I will adjust as needed. A happy pet equals a happy owner. Currently I am employed and have three days off- however, I can work with you. Just ask! I could schedule pets on the days I work only if your pets don't mind being home alone for a few hours. A plus for independent cats. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with a dog and had another dog into the family when I was a teenager. I've adopted cats in my adulthood- I know firsthand the responsibilities of owning one but I also know how much love they give & its the greatest feeling to have your pet walk up to the door and wag their tails.

About: I've had a deep love for animals since childhood and have cared for a variety of pets over the years—including three dogs, four rabbits, fish, snails, and even some cats. I'm currently a teacher aide in an autism room at the Williamstown Middle School and looking for some part-time work to go along with that, especially in the summer while I am off. My main job has been being mom to my two amazing kids for the last 17 years. I have excellent availability and have spent the past several years helping neighbors care for their pets, which is why I believe joining Rover is a natural fit for me. I'm reliable, attentive, and understand how important peace of mind is when you're away from your furry family members. I currently care for an anxious pup, so I'm more than happy to provide frequent updates and photos if that helps you feel connected while you're away. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies, along with cats of various ages, so I have a wide variety of knowledge with different ages. As part of my drop in visits, I will gladly get your mail, take out your trash on trash days and water any plants if needed also. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet, make sure your home stays safe while you are at work or away and look forward to hearing from you! From September to June, I work as a paraprofessional in the 5th/6th grade autism classroom from 11 AM to 3 PM. I’m available for work before and after those hours, and I have full availability during the summer. I am someone who enjoys being active and I make sure my pet gets lots of exercise and mental stimulation, so I would make sure your pet gets the same. I have a Goldendoodle, and every day she gets the full treatment—her eyes cleaned, teeth brushed, ears gently wiped, and coat brushed. On top of that, she enjoys plenty of playtime, daily walks, and endless love and affection. I truly believe that pets rely on us to keep them healthy, happy, and fulfilled. They can’t turn on the TV, pick up a book, or head out to run errands—they count on us for both mental stimulation and physical care. That’s why I always make it a priority to give pets the attention, affection, and playtime they need. When I care for your pet, I’ll make sure they feel loved and engaged. I’m excited to learn what toys or activities they enjoy most, so we can burn off some energy and help them settle in happily when it’s time to rest. Of course, that includes plenty of petting and affection too! With my own dog, I make sure she has five play sessions a day and gets out for two to three walks. I’m also a big fan of The Dog Whisperer—as Cesar Millan says, “A tired dog is a happy dog!” I couldn’t agree more.

“We love Nicole! She’s accommodating with my schedule and very reliable! She treats my dog like her own.”

About: I have many years of experience and a dog of my own. (A German Shepherd) I’ve grown up with dogs since I can remember and I’ve always considered dogs to be family. I’ll always treat your dog the way I’d want mine to be treated. I’ll run and play with your dog the same way I do with mine. I’m available pretty much every day, besides the weekend sometimes! Also, my boyfriend trains dogs so I’ve been learning even more in that aspect which can be useful. I like taking walks and going to the park, or wherever else you’d prefer me walk your dog. I’d be happy to do whatever you choose. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Thank you very much for considering me

About: Both my husband and I grew up with multiple dogs in our household. We dog sit for all of our friends year round whenever they travel. I work in the office 4 days a week but my husband works full time at home. We also have a dog of our own that we let go / walk throughout the day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where your dogs can run around freely! We also make sure to keep anything dangerous out of harms way for any pets.

About: Hello! My name is Alyssa it’s such a pleasure to meet you! ☺️ I came to rover because I wanted to try something new and hopefully meet new friends and help their animals! I am a nurse and I also love waitressing on the side. My time has recently opened up which is why I’m trying this place out! I’ve raised cats my entire life and I’ve been raising German Shepherds for the last 2-3 years. I’m experienced with caring for sick animals as my first German Shepherd was special needs and so my 10 year old cat named Nico. I’m comfortable giving medication and I know many tricks to administering it to those who like to spit it out haha! I’m experienced handling working breed dogs and love training them! I’ve also been told many times I’m a cat whisperer and seem to win over even the most introverted cats 🤣 Having the ability to care for others and animals is my biggest accomplishment and blessing! I look forward to hopefully meet with you soon!! My schedule has been recently freed up so I’ve been prioritizing training my dog and doing self care! Scheduling is currently very flexible for me and I’ll update here when things change! As you may have guessed my life is pretty crazy busy 🤣🤣 but I do thrive off of the busy schedule and love being productive with my time! When it comes to my shepherd and cats, a consistent routine is always something I always create around my schedule! Routine is very important for pets and they can be stressed without it! Feeding, nap, play, and bedtime I always strive to keep consistent within a reasonable time frame. This is also what i strive for when caring for someone else’s pets as a primary way to keep stress to a minimum for them. When it comes to working breed dogs like mine, I like to allow around two hours daily of walking, training, and play to fulfill their psychological and physical needs. When I am caring for another person’s animal, I also love to help out in other ways such as basic chores around the house during down time! Cleaning is very therapeutic for me and I always love to help out when able to! However I do respect any and all boundaries on whatever you’re comfortable or not comfortable with!

About: I love animals, I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own! I've spent my whole life around animals, never living without a furry companion by my side! I'm currently a stay at home mom, so 60% of my day goes to pet care as I am constantly around my pets! Taking the dogs outside, playing and cleaning up messes ! Your pet will always feel safe with me, I will follow any and all instructions to ensure a comfortable environment for your pet. If they have any favorite treats, nicknames, or favorite petting spots I'd love to know!

“Amazing care and love provided to my Dixie!! Thanks so so much for playing with her. And these pics are so wonderful!!! Thank you for making my pup so happy!”

“This is the second time Morgan has taken care of my golden retriever pup. She always on time and adjusts her walks/ playtime according to my pups mood. I would highly recommend her if your fur baby needs walking, playing or just hanging out 🥰!! Thanks Morgan”

About: I got my first dog when I was 5 and have had one ever since. I began petsitting when I was 12 years old watching pets on my block, so I currently have 20 years experience. I also volunteered for a year at an animal shelter while I was away at school walking and spending time with the dogs and socializing the cats. I love animals and currently own two dogs (husky and pit), two cats and three ferrets. I also still ensure I spend time with my family cat back at my parents. My dog pulls on a leash so if your dog pulls I am used to it. For me its not just walking your dog or feeding your pets its also spending time with them. 1 year of volunteering at the RISPCA in Rhode Island in 2010 Currently working as a teacher but I am available before work, after 4 and anytime on the weekends. I follow school schedule so off for holidays and summers. I do on occasion have to bring my daughter/son with me to visits based on if I can’t get someone to watch them. I make sure each visit is complete with a Rover Card making you aware of what we did during my visit. I make sure to include at least one photo.

“Thank you”
