About: I grew up with a beagle and pitbull-mix, so dog care (and playing with dogs) comes naturally to me. Plus, as a freelance advertising creative, I have a flexible schedule where gaps open up pretty regularly during the workweek. Also, I've lived in Jersey City for over 5 years now (and lived in Hoboken for a year prior), so I know the nooks and crannies--especially Paulus Hook, Downtown, Hamilton Park, the Waterfront, etc.--of the local area really well. I'm a freelance/contract copywriter currently working with a big consulting firm. However, I work remote and there are regularly down periods during the day. But, being remote, mornings and evenings are easy for me to be available, as well as weekends. In my home, it's about creating a comfortable space for your pup to play and relax. Additionally, I'll be living a block away from Van Vorst Park, which has a relatively popular dog run. In others' homes, it would be about respecting the home and how the owner takes care of the place, and adapting to those standards.

Thank you so much! Awesome pictures to show me my pups activity and being safe back at home. I appreciate the long walk and following instructions for entry and exit of home. We hope to see you again!

Christine is wonderful. An absolute professional and incredibly warm with my dog. She gives my dog thorough walks, and always provides pictures and feedback after the walk (if he peed, pooped, etc.) I will definitely be trusting Christine with my dog again!

Denise was an amazing sitter from the start. She not only met the pups with me but also went out of her way to go on a walk with my regular sitter to see their temperament and attitudes. Denise put up with Sadie’s sassiness and loved Spud through his below par walking and obsessive kisses. Would 100% recommend her and will be using her again!

Kelly is amazing with my mini bernedoodle Buster! He always comes back so happy and excited after his walks and playtime in the dog park. Kelly is very attentive to what Buster needs being a puppy and is always willing to help out when he doesn’t feel good or needs extra attention. She is also great at communication. I would recommend her to anyone!

Faith was great with my crazy 2 year old golden! She came a couple days before the walk to meet him and get the rundown and he took to her right away. Day of I got plenty of updates and pictures, he had a great time and was nice and tired when I got home! Would definitely recommend Faith!

I was really anxious about getting a dog walker for my pitbull Layla, who can be quite reactive and tends to pull a lot on walks. But Raj has been incredibly patient and understanding with her from the start. He not only handles her with care and confidence, but he also eased my worries by sending thoughtful updates and the cutest pictures of her 🥹. Now, Layla gets so excited every time she sees him — it’s clear she absolutely adores him!

Followed all the instructions left for Divinity’s care. I couldn’t be more pleased. Very professional. A trust worth experience.

About: I've been walking my neighbors' dogs for a year now (back in California). My current place doesn't allow pets, but in the past I've also done boarding for a few days at a time. I work from home so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! My schedule is extremely flexible so I am available pretty much every day of the week. I live very close to the waterfront and multiple dog parks so there's plenty of space for your fur baby to play and run around!

About: Had pets all my life, dogs, cats, and even fish. Always loved animals and have a real passion for them. I was lucky to have the most well behaved amazing pets as a kid but have also had to deal with some toughies I am a student and a part time worker and volunteer. I’m pretty lucky to have a flexible schedule during the summer so I should be available most days at most times. Pet service is a two sided job. Of course you have to love the pet and have a good time being with them but it’s also about responsibility and being kind but stern. My grandma loves her cats but she feeds them a bit too much and I think I have learned from dealing with those poor cats.

Victoria was amazing! She was able to help me out super last minute and did a great job with Bean. It was Bean's first time meeting her and it was clear he was extremely comfortable and happy during their walk. She was more than happy to give Bean his dinner and meds after his walk, and even stayed a few minutes extra to play fetch with him. Will definitely be reaching out again soon!
