Dog Walking Etra

“Tom was not only willing to step in and cover for my regularly scheduled dog walker on very little notice, but he did such a great job with Yoda, who has the stubbornness of most beagles. It was a relief knowing that Yoda was in such great hands. I , without a doubt, would use Tom again!!!! Thank you for taking great care of my best buddy !”

About: I’ve had 3 dogs and still have two. I also love all my friends and neighbors’ dogs as well. I’m comfortable with various sizes. I have small and medium but have walked friends labs & doodles. I’m very flexible and have some commitments Tuesday evening & Wednesday AM. Otherwise I just have the gym schedule to work around. Weekends are usually good too except some Saturday AMs by I can work around that commitment. I love animals and look forward to caring for your fur babies just as I would want someone to look after my fur babies. I can care for your pets in your home and will follow whatever usual routines your fur babies have. I can walk them, let them out and play with them.

“Thank you for always taking good care of Yoda. I don't know how, but he has had more energy since you've been walking him. At 15+ years, he's tiring me out”

I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home, but am happy to feed, walk, play with, or just keep an eye on your pet in your home.

About: I’m now the mom of a 4-year-old poodle whose weight is 55lb , and 20 years ago I had a Maltese, whose weight was 6lb. I love dogs with my whole life.

“On very short notice, Boryana was able to step in, take the time to meet me and Yoda before walking and feeding Yoda. She was fantastic! I would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”

“Brianna was very kind to my dogs and made sure I came home to no accidents! With the warm weather we’ve been having she was kind enough to modify our walking routine to make sure the dogs were comfortable, has followed typical feeding schedules, and adjusted to my youngest dog’s needs through his medical issues. I am happy to recommend her as a reliable pet sitter for anyone in need”

About: Diagnosed with allergies in childhood, I didn’t have pets until in my 20s, when I picked a week-old kitten from a litter & raised him. Thelonious used to walk between my shoulders as I moved around the house, and slept in my bed. Friends told me he behaved more like a dog than a cat—very affectionate. We were very close. His death broke my heart & I still miss him. Seven years ago, I did cat-sitting for a friend whose apartment in NYC I stayed in for a summer while working nearby on Varick Street. He was a very easygoing cat. Years later, my stepson left his dogs at our house & I was their primary minder. I fed, walked & played with them every day. Although I’d been around dogs a lot growing up, it’s one thing to be around them & another to be responsible for them & develop relationships with them. Each of the dogs had a very distinct personality, and I found them fascinating. Through those & other experiences with friends’ pets, I’ve found that I’m able to make connections with animals that go beyond words. I never would have imagined such a thing in childhood. These days I do house sitting & drop-ins for clients in Monmouth, Mercer & Middlesex Counties. I’m tending to pets with a wide range of needs & dispositions, and love I give is more than equaled by the love I receive from them. I’m truly humbled & in awe. Professionally, I managed desktop publishing & automated publishing for a Fortune 500 financial firm for 20 years. So I have a long track record of responsibility & discipline. That combination of sensitivity & responsibility are what I bring to pet sitting. I only accept clients living within a 30-minute drive from my home, and my routines at home are easily adaptable to meet my clients’ needs. That means my highly flexible schedule allows me to provide your cat with the consistent time, routine, and attention they deserve while you are gone. I don’t rush my check-ins; I stay the full duration to ensure your pet gets plenty of physical play and mental stimulation. Because my hours are highly adaptable, I can drop in at the exact times your pet expects breakfast, dinner, or treats. I’m happy to take photos during my stay to enable you as the pet owner to feel secure about your pet’s care in your absence. I like to play with & talk to pets, and try to adhere to their normal routines, so they, too, feel comfortable in your absence.

About: I have a full-time job that includes a lot of travel, so please reach out if you’re looking for a day I’m marked as unavailable. I currently work full-time but travel a lot so my schedule changes from week-to-week. My schedule is flexible at night and sometimes during the day. In your home I will do what’s necessary to keep your fur babies happy and comfortable while you are away. I’m happy to sit and cuddle with your senior animal or spend my time playing with young ones.

“Abigail is amazing!!! Always on time and treats your animal the best. She is very nice and listens to your request. Book her whenever you can. You will not regret it.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly love caring for animals. I grew up with three dogs and have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters and at animal-focused events. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I can care for your dog in my home or come to yours, depending on the service. I’m a full-time teacher, so during the school year I typically work from approximately 8 AM–3 PM. I’m available before and after school, evenings, weekends, and school breaks. On weekends and breaks, I have much more flexibility and can provide around-the-clock care for boarding guests. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. ❤️ I am currently an art teacher working with students k-8. My schedule varies based on the school year. I can have full availability during weekends, summer, and evenings during the school year. have a small fenced-in area as well as a large grassy area perfect for leashed walks and outdoor time. I will always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority, and they’ll get plenty of attention while in my care.

“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”

About: Hi, I’m Jill and I live in Hightstown, NJ. I have loved animals from a very young age and grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards and hamsters, so I’m knowledgeable on what needs to go into caring for them. I’m able to provide a safe environment with a large fenced backyard for your dog(s) to run and play. I work from home some days, but otherwise I am in my office 15 min away from my home. I love to go for walks, so your pet can get in a good amount of exercise. As I currently do not have any pets myself, I am excited to get the friendship and love that dogs always provide! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)!

“Our dog loves the time he spends with Michaela. She happily accommodates our requests to extend each visit to allow time for play and a feeding on top of a walk. She sends photos and updates which puts us at ease. Michaela is flexible and responds quickly - both of which we appreciate so much when planning care for our dog! Would absolutely recommend!”
