Dog Walking Colts Neck

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 5-month-old 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 home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. *********** My home is just minutes from 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’m also American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My beloved Border Collie, Zoey, was both 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 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🐾

“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 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 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.

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 animals 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.”

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.
