Dog Walking Colts Neck

About: As a first-grade teacher with years of experience caring for children, providing a safe, nurturing, and dependable environment comes naturally to me. I bring that same level of patience, attention, and care to every pet I look after. I have been the go to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family since I was in middle school! With two big dogs and three cats of my own, whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll treat them like one of my own while you’re away. 🐾 I am currently working part time in the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am available Monday/Tuesday after 4, and Wednesday-Sunday anytime! I can easily walk your dogs safely and crate them if needed! I can play with your pets securely in a backyard! I can also feed your pets when needed!

“Jenna is terrific with my dog. She patiently guides him into his walks, because he can be finicky. She is observant to notice ticks and/or other bugs or growths. She pay attention to details. I would recommend her.”

About: Hi there! Although I only recently reactivated this app, caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my beloved Border Collie, Zoey (see Gallery), from puppyhood through adulthood. She has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, but during her life I taught her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide dogs of all ages with a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment that is free from hazards—while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⸻ Today, I own a longhaired male Dachshund named Moose. He loves other dogs, is up to date on his core vaccines, and is currently unneutered. Because of him, I have firsthand experience with the unique care that long-bodied breeds require, including proper handling techniques and back protection. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My prior Border Collie, Zoey, was dog-reactive and medically disabled (she was completely blind in one eye), so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s individual needs. ⸻ I am home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. The house is in close proximity to the Belford Ferry, making it especially convenient for NYC commuters. *********** For clients interested in doggy daycare or boarding, dogs will enjoy a securely fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor play, as well as an indoor gated playpen located on the main living level of the home (see Gallery). The playpen is stocked with plenty of toys and enrichment activities, and dogs also have access to the adjacent hardwood-floor living area. *********** To help keep all of our furry friends healthy and safe, proof of core vaccinations is required (except for young puppies), and all dogs must be on a flea and tick preventative. Clients are welcome to bring a crate, favorite bed, blanket, or other comfort items from home. Baby gates are installed on the stairs for added safety, and walks may be added to daycare or boarding services. *********** At this time, I intentionally accept only one client (which can include multiple dogs) at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention, maintain a calm, low-stress environment, and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. I closely supervise all interactions and can easily keep dogs separated if needed. At night, your pup will have the playpen all to themselves for a peaceful night’s sleep (or a crate if you prefer). The playpen is also monitored with a baby monitor for an extra layer of safety. ⸻ My goal is to make drop-off as simple and stress-free as possible. If you’d prefer to simply drop off your pup, I’ve got the essentials covered! Of course, you’re always welcome to bring your dog’s own food, crate, favorite blanket, toys, or any comfort items if you’d like. *********** What’s Included with Daycare & Boarding: • Premium name-brand kibble, served with fresh water and dog-friendly bone broth • Quality treats and chews, including turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, and more • Supervised outdoor potty breaks and playtime in a securely fenced yard • Indoor enrichment activities, including frozen lick mats and puzzle toys • Access to a variety of toys and comfortable beds within the secure indoor playpen • Daily photo updates for peace of mind 😊 ⸻ Before every booking, we’ll discuss your dog’s routine, personality, exercise needs, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so I can provide personalized, attentive care. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. *********** I have a flexible schedule and will work with you to coordinate pickup/drop-off times that work. We will discuss scheduling at the initial consult. We can go over any quirks /routines that you do to make your pup feel comfy, favorite toys, etc., to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾

“Kamryn helped me out last minute when I desperately needed a walk for my boy Apollo and had no way of getting home in time. Highly recommend her !”

“Angelica is a great person to take care of your dog or walk them. I would recommend her and use her again in the future if needed. She is always keeping you informed about the walk and if any issues come up. She is always on time and will communicate with you if she is running late.”

About: For years I have taken care of dogs big and small. I’ve been called on my neighbors, friends, and family to watch their fur babies while they are away. In the past I have come over for the routine feed and bathroom and kept company, boarded at my home, or stayed at their home if the dog is more comfortable in that environment I am currently a student, so you can often find me home studying. Studying can get boring pretty quickly, so I would love the company and your fur baby would be spoiled with love and attention I live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard and live within a short walking distance to a scenic walking path

“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.”

“First time using Rover. I am very pleased with the care provided by Vick for my two Cavachons Kurt and Kyle. She was very detailed orientated regarding their care and provided a nice long walk while we were out all day. A very kind care giver, the boys had a great time with her. Five star performance!!”

About: We had my family dog for 15 years, and I’ve dog sat for friends and family. I’ve also fostered cats in my home for multiple months. I’m happy to pop in for check-ins, walks, feedings, or just to provide some company (cats, dogs, or both!) I am available for check-ins, walks, and feedings both week days and weekends! I’m happy to provide whatever your pet needs while you’re out of town. I am a detailed instruction follower, so I’m happy to follow any nighttime routine no matter how wacky! I love animals so I try to make sure they’re getting everything they need from exercise to food needs, etc.

“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!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life, have had dogs of all sizes (from labs to terriers), and love all dogs no matter what. I am able to handle puppies, and elderly dogs. I am currently taking classes for my university and helping take care of my own pups! I am available most weekdays, from 7:30-4ish and can’t wait to meet some new pups! I have three dogs of my own at home, two labs and a Norwich terrier! I am their primary caretaker as my parents work and need some help with those guys!

About: Hi! My name is Rachel and I am the biggest dog lover. I have a yorkie, Layla who I love very much. I would love to meet new dogs and care for them! I am very soft and gentle when it comes to dogs because I want them to feel comfortable. I am also good at evaluating dogs’ body language so I can accommodate to their needs. My goal is to make your dog as happy as it can be, keeping them well fed, hydrated, and active through walks. Having a dog myself made me fall even more in love with dogs and I can’t wait to meet more dogs and care for them! :) I am currently working part time in the mornings and early afternoons which makes me available to care for your pet in the middle of the afternoon and evenings! I take care of the pets by listening to what the owner wants for their pet. I make sure the pets are comfortable where they are and I am gentle. I understand some dogs are shy and I come into every home aware of that and I try to let the dogs slowly warm up to me. I make them feel as safe and cared for as possible. Feeding and walking is as consistent as the owner wants it :)

About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

“IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great. She rcommunicated after each walk and took some cute pictures as well. I was able to have fun on my day trip knowing that Molly was there to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her again.”

“Julia was terrific!”
