“I was hesitant at first on getting a Dog Walker. Savana was kind enough to meet and greet Cooper and nutmeg. They both loved her. I am so glad to have Savana walk my puppies. Savana is punctual, loving, and very responsible. it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, now only working part time. I am available for your pet care needs early morning, early afternoon, & evenings. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Grayson was excellent with our dog Preston! She was punctual, professional and communicative while she hung out with him and gave him multiple walks. We’re thrilled to have someone reliable near us to be able to hang with him and that we know he’s in very good hands!”
“Meghan was great and very attentive to our dogs. She followed up with details after every walk and even brought some of our packages inside for us. Excited to book her again in the future.”
“Kimberly did a great job caring for our dog while we were at work. It was our first time having someone come to the house and walk our dog. She made us feel very comfortable that our dog was going to be well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for well over 10 years. I myself have a 7 year old and 3 year old dogs, and a 18 month old cat and a 4 month old kitten. Since we’ve had each of our pets since infancy, I’m well versed in the adorable yet tricky stages of pet care like puppy &kitten-hood. I can also care well for senior dogs, just like we loved our 16 year old rescue til she crossed the rainbow bridge two years ago. I’ll be working full time later this summer, but I’m looking to fill my days with your pets until then! I’m unavailable most Sunday mornings, but may be able to make arrangements if necessary. I am happy to keep your dog on a leash, in a fenced in area, or in a crate for your peace of mind at your request. I absolutely love dogs, and would make a fantastic guardian for your older dog, young puppy, dog with separation anxiety, or your family pup that you just cant bring on vacation. I also adore cats. I know each one has such a special personality, and I’d be happy to snuggle & play with them on the couch or let them lounge and entertain themselves, watching from afar. I’ve experienced the anxiety of being away from them, so I’m glad to send you pictures or texts to help you feel comfortable while apart. I look forward to getting to know your pawfect family member!
About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, with two chocolate labs, a dozen barn cats, and various other farm animals! I also ran a small pet-sitting business in my neighborhood when I was a young teen. I absolutely adore animals, and caring for them has been second nature to me since I was young. I have a wide range of experience from fiesty barn animals to cuddly couch potatoes. I typically work 3-4 days at the end of the week, which leaves Monday through Wednesday (Sometimes Thursday!) completely open. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and drop ins. I can even accommodate walks and drop ins on the days I do work, depending on my schedule. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and keep routines as consistent as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or playtime. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always move slowly with shy animals and give lots of love to the social ones! If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet spaces for rest. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like part of the family, whether they’re here for a visit or I’m looking after them in their own home.
About: I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter! I have also had 2 German shepherds and 2 cats growing up. I currently work part time, and I don’t work every day. I can easily work around my work schedule to help out with your pups! I will care for your pet in your home. That would be the best for me and your pet! My home is not suitable for pets at the moment.
About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.
About: I'm Rai (he/him)! I am a proud cat dad to Luca -- he is my whole world. I will treat your pets like my own, send you picture updates, play with them, sing them little songs, and accommodate their needs! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends & family and would love to be your go-to person as well :) I'm currently working part-time and freelancing, so my schedule is flexible! I typically have a lot of availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, or playtime. I respect your home and your pet’s routines, including any rules about where they’re allowed to be. I’ve got experience with my own cat, Luca, who used to love jumping on tables—so I understand how to gently reinforce boundaries and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: I have years of animal experience! I am a veterinary technician and kennel attendant at an animal shelter in North Jersey when I am back from school. While working at the shelter I am responsible for the health and care of about 20 dogs and 30 cats! I have worked with newborn puppies/kittens, middle aged, and senior animals. I have a soft spot for behaviorally challenged animals and have experience handling them. I currently am a veterinary technician at an animal hospital. I know the signs I have to look for in case there is a medical emergency and am very experienced with medicating animals. My patients, experience, and knowledge will make your time away from your fur baby stress-free! I treat all the animals in my care like my own! I currently work part-time at the animal hospital and am a student at Rutgers University. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am willing to work with you! I cannot care for pets in my own home. I will take care of your pet in your home exactly how you need/want me to!
About: I had an incredible opportunity to foster dogs and cats over a 4 year period and learned all animals need patience and kindness to be healthy! Some of those animals had disabilities and needed special care like medications or treatments as well. I currently work in office Tuesday - Thursday, 9:30 - 5:30. House sitting can be very flexible through out the week and on weekends as well. I currently have a pet free home, so your pet will be my only priority. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do live in a community that has sidewalks and plenty of grass for dog walking.

“I have never been away from my dog, Bubba, for more than 3 hours and when I met Raisa through a friend, it was like all of my worries were lifted off my shoulders. Raisa took care of Bubba for a 3 whole consecutive days until I came home for bedtime. She walked him three times a day, fed them, played with him (sometimes at dog parks), and kept up with his in-home potty training. It was a lot of responsibility for someone’s first time with my dog and she did an amazing job.”

Nicole F.
“Nicole is such a great addition to our family! During her first meeting with Kiedis, she immediately sat down and gained his confidence by playing with him and petting him. While giving her a rundown of his list of needs during her stay, she diligently took notes. She was able to house sit during our vacation and was a spectacular guest. We came back to a very clean kitchen and the sheets from our guest room where she stayed were washed and folded up for us. She’s an excellent house guest and even better caretaker for our fur baby, so much so that he loves when she comes around!”
