Dog Walking Colts Neck

About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their dogs, whether that means daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and lots of love. I'm an avid walker and typically walk about 3 miles every day, so I'd love nothing more than to have a furry friend join me! I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I'm committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, patience, affection, and care. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're apart from your best friend. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, playtime, or just some extra company during the day, I'd be honored to help! I am self employed with a flexible schedule and work mostly evenings and weekends. So, during the week, I have lots of time to meet with your furry family members. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I'll always follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I will treat both with the same care and respect I would my own, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

“Darlene is amazing with my dog and he LOVES her!! She always provides the full 30 minute walk which I truly appreciate. She also makes sure he eats before she leaves, and she is always in great contact with me. I truly always look for Darlene's availability when looking to book my dog for a walk. I would definitely say she is the best I have used on here and I will recommend her again and again!”

“We have had a really great experience with Joseph. He is timely, reliable, great with communication, and our dog jojo loves him. I would highly recommend him to everybody.”

“Angelica was absolutely fantastic for Casey and our family. From the initial meet and greet through our weekend away, Angelica was on point for our needs and Casey’s needs. Attentive and thorough, would definitely recommend for anyone needing a walker.”

“My 3-year-old, 60-pound Pit Bull/Shepherd mix is basically 60 pounds of enthusiasm with zero respect for personal space. He’s high-energy, pulls on the leash, and firmly believes every person he meets needs to be greeted with his whole body. This was his first experience with a stranger walking him, and honestly, I was more nervous for Max than I was for my dog! But Max’s experience and comfort around dogs showed immediately. He handled the situation with calm, firm confidence, kept things under control, and the walk was a success. My dog came back happy, exercised, and in one piece—and so did Max. 😂 I’d definitely trust him to walk my four-legged tornado again!”

About: I have been helping care for pets since I was a young child. I grew up with pets and pet responsibilities. The love that I have for my pets crosses over to the love that I will bring for your pet. Pet sitting is currently my primary focus. This allows me to have greater flexibility in my schedule and more time to take care of your pets. Great care and concern for your pet is emphasized as well as open communication with you while your pet is in my care. Your concerns are my concerns when it comes to the safety and care of your pets.

“Michelle was great and willing to extend my dogs stay by a few hours with short notice. She sent lots of pictures and kiko couldn’t have been happier.. I would use her again anytime…5stars”

About: I’ve had my 16 year old senior cats since I was 7 years old, I have a ton of cat experience but I worked at a doggy daycare shortly so I can take care of dogs as well! I can also administer medication liquid form or pills. I’m also planning on going to Veterinary Technician school because my dream is to work with animals. I’m hoping to get a part time job soon but in the meantime or on my off days I plan to take care of animals. I’m currently not working so I have a lot of time in my schedule to care for dogs and cats while I job search. For taking care of cats my room is safe and can fit a litter box and food/water bowls. I can’t take in dogs because my cats get anxious around dogs , but I am happy to come to my clients home and do an overnight or drop in visits for dogs. I like when owners leave a list of everything for me just so I can make sure their pets have everything they need.

“Initial meet & greet Rubble loved Jamie!! We are very excited for her to continue his weekly walks :)”

About: Hi, I’m Isabella and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and reliable care! Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority, as my experience with a variety of species supports my desire to provide. I currently work at a veterinary hospital, caring for pets of all ages (from babies to seniors) so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My experience goes beyond work also as I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life! I’m currently finishing up some summer college credits, which gives me great flexibility for early morning and mid-to-late day check-ins after class. My schedule is consistent week-to-week, so you can count on reliable timing and routine for your pet! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize any preferences your pet is used to. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands!

“We are so happy we found Kira to help take care of our puppy! She is super sweet, and great with our young pup. She’s been great at communicating, and our dog is happy and well taken care of after Kira stops by to let her out for a bit”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life until I lost my last one in 2023 and decided to adopts cats. But there’s nothing like a bond between a dog and a human. I have taken care of family and friends dogs since I was a teenager. I haven’t for a while and I miss doing it I work monday- friday but am home by 5. I am off wednesday mornings as well and on the weekends. So i’d be a great walker! I follow a strict program. Wherever I am needed in the house, I will be there. I will not break the privacy of a client.

About: Since I was 10 years old, I’ve always had a dog in my life. I love animals so much and I offer nothing but affection and care. I love cuddling with them too if they’re open to it. I’m in sales so I do work from home a lot. When I leave my house, it’s for a maximum of four hours. If you have a dog that is shy, I have a separate room for him/her. I have a 10 pound Shih Tzu living in our home. I adore him and he’s very friendly but if your dog does not like other dogs, it’s not a problem to keep them separate. I usually keep my dog on the main floor of the townhome. He has full access to the whole floor. If your dog is shy, I have a spare room on the lower level that the dog can stay in solo with a couch, dog bed, crate, and toys. I will only take 1 household at a time (2 dogs max) to ensure that your pup gets plenty of individual attention.

About: I've been a dog owner for over 40 years, I love all kinds of dogs, big and small. I just lost my best buddy Ziggy and I’m looking to share the love! I just retired so I have lots of availability and flexibility. I live in Marlboro township. Hope to hear from you soon! Available all day every day , short notice okay. I am retired and looking for some new buddies to hang with. Hope to hear from you soon!! I can watch in my home if needed. I’m happy to have them stay for an overnight if needed. I’ll treat your buddy like they’re my own.

“Lisa and Troy absolutely loved each other! Great walker!”

“Leigh was able to help us at the last minute. She took such good care of our dog Sadie. We were able to communicate with her while we were away. And she sent us pictures. So grateful for her!”

About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.

“There are not enough nice things I can say about Jessica! She was great with Keyser! Keyser is a senior and can be a little tricky to care for. But, he bonded with Jessica instantly and we knew he was in great hands! We highly recommend Jessica!”

About: I was raised alongside litters of puppies and my life has revolved around animals ever since. My family consistently had 8-10 dogs in our home, ranging from big dogs like labs or American bulldogs to smaller dogs like French bulldogs or terrier mixes. Since I was in elementary school, I was tasked with feeding, grooming, walking and playing with all of our dogs. As an adult, I've helped my parents out in watching their many dogs (my dad has 12!) when they are out of town and pet-sitting for friends and family. I adopted my own two cats, who I've had since they were kittens, and love them with almost my whole heart - I have two ferrets that take up some space in my heart too. Ferrets are notoriously difficult pets to take care of, so if I can handle them and all their energy & mischief, I think I'm prepared to take care of just about any creature. I have been conscientious, responsible and caring for my own pets and I promise I'll treat yours the same way :) I work 9-5 on a hybrid schedule but, as a manager, I have flexibility in terms of remote work — I can always change my schedule around to accommodate yours! I need advanced notice for overnight bookings, as I commute into the city twice a week. I can always switch my-in office days with enough of a head's up, so please reach out if my current calendar availability doesn't align with yours! We may be able to work something out. Unfortunately, I know the feeling of coming home from a trip and realizing that some little things were unattended to by a friend I'd trusted with my pets: the water fountain was half full, the litter box hadn't been scooped in a few days, their 24/7 bird streaming YouTube video wasn't on (lol). Of course my pets were still fed, but it didn't feel like they were cared for the same way I would have. I promise that won't happen if I am entrusted with your pet. I am very good at noticing and handling those little details, even if you forgot to mention them, because that's what I would want. That said, I am great at following pet-care instructions, and I'll surely feed, walk, play with (and love) your furry friend according to the schedule you set out.
