Dog Walking in Greenwood And Hamilton, Trenton, NJ

About: I’ve had pets in my home ever since I was born, and have always helped with pet care since I was able to. I’ve owned dogs of different sizes and all ages, cats, and many small animals! I have experience not only with my own pets but with taking care of family members’ pets when they leave for vacations or other extended absences, as well as ongoing weekly volunteer work taking care of shelter cats and kittens. Being able to read an animal’s behavior to understand when they are anxious, happy, or unwilling to be touched is extremely important to me and something I have learned over the years being surrounded by animals. Ensuring an animal’s comfort and building trust is as much of a priority to me as ensuring their safety and health. I’m currently an undergraduate student in college, and so over the summer between semesters I have a much more open schedule. I’m available over the week during the afternoon and evenings over summers, and on weekends throughout the semester! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, making sure they are fed and taken care of while also ensuring they feel comfortable being around me. An animal’s boundaries are very important to me, and I am very meticulous when it comes to making sure everything that needs to be done gets done. I always keep you updated with plenty of pictures of your fur babies!

About: I have been involved in taking care of dogs since I was a child as we always a had a pet int the family. I addition to that I've been volunteering with a animal welfare organization for 2 years now where I assisted in the transportation of dogs that have traveled long-distances to meet with adoptive families. I am available to walk and care of dogs any opportunity where I am not at work. Work Schedule: Wednesday 4pm to 8pm, Friday 4pm to 8pm, and Saturday 12pm to 6pm. I can care for pets by feeding them, playing with them, walking them, taking them places, and with athletic dogs making sure they get a workout.

“A very lovely dog sitter ! Polite and confident !I will definitely call her for our next need for Bruno .”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. As a child my family trained Seeing Eye Dogs. As an adult I’ve developed dog walking and training skills by working with my own reactive dog and volunteering at the local shelter for the past 5 years. Your pet will be safe and happy with me! I’m currently open to new work opportunities, prioritizing spending time with animals to feed my soul. I do take a day off on the weekend to rest. Having worked with reactive dogs, safety is my priority. I also know a tired dog is a happy dog, so I’m happy to provide dog walking services to excessive their brains and bodies.

“Amanda is fantastic! Reliable and flexible when my work schedule changed. Communication regarding scheduling and the care of my dogs is easy. I really enjoy the walk maps, photos and narratives Amanda writes daily following their walk. Amanda is truly 5 star and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent dog walker. Rover is fortunate to have such a dedicated dog walker. Thank you Amanda!”

About: With a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science, four pets of my own, and previous work experience in a doggy daycare/ boarding service, I believe I have the necessary experience and skills needed for proper animal husbandry for your pets. I grew up with dogs throughout my whole life, and growing up with them meant I learned something new every day. Even now, I make sure to research and ask vets what would be the best ways to improve the quality of life for my animals, and make sure I'm up to standards with husbandry. Working in the dog daycare field gave me a proper introduction into the petsitting business as I would follow owner instructions for feeding, bedding, enrichment, and oral medications. *PLEASE NOTE*: I have not yet had proper experience administering injections to dogs and cats (only livestock via university lab work), so for your pets safety as a new sitter I will not be offering a service for medication via injection. I have learned how to do hands-on CPR for deep-chested dogs. I am knowledgeable on CPR for smaller dogs and cats. Pets at Home: 1 American Akita, 1 Shiba Inu, 1 orange cat, 1 crested gecko. As long as proper care instructions are given, I'd love to take care of any variety of pets, including low-difficulty reptiles (ie. geckos)! If you have such a reptile in your household, message me if you're interested in petsitting for them as well! At the moment, I am looking to potentially work as a veterinary assistant in nearby clinics, so I am currently available all day weekdays and weekends. First and foremost: I prioritize comfort, safety, and routine. I follow each pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible—including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, and playtime. I give plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on each animal’s personality and needs. Shy cat? I give them space, time, and gentle encouragement. High-energy pup? We’ll get those zoomies out safely! Additionally, as an aspiring microbiologist (and as a student who did a presentation on Parvo), I believe prevention is key. Any puppy will be carefully looked after outdoors and proper sanitzation methods will be met. I would prefer to keep young puppies in your household, and have playtime in a backyard if possible. I would limit walks to around the household area. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and always leave things as clean—or cleaner—than I found them. I will send regular photo updates so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Rebecca took great care of my dog. She fed him, took him out, and sent pictures when they were done. I came home to a very happy puppy. I would recommend.”

“Ashley is a lovely young woman who truly loves the dogs she cares for. Our situation was just needing someone to walk Cheyenne twice a day. She was timely and willing to make a change in time with notice. We will miss seeing her every day??”

About: I've got a lot of experience with pet care, especially with dogs. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my dedication to their well-being and ensuring they feel loved and safe. I specialize in training puppies and providing excellent senior care for older dogs. I believe that every dog deserves the best care possible, and I strive to provide that for each furry friend I look after. If you ever need advice on training puppies or caring for senior dogs, feel free to ask me! Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize the well-being of my furry friends by incorporating feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime into my daily schedule. Training sessions are also crucial to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. My pets are like family to me, so I always ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve every day. I make sure to provide a safe, trustworthy environment for pets in both my home and my client's home. Depending on the service I offer, I tailor my care routines to meet the specific needs of each pet. This can include feeding, grooming, exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive. I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care.

“Kendall is always very reliable! She was able to come walk our girl, Nala last minute. She also stays and gives her snuggles and kisses after her walk which I’m sure Nala loves. Definitely recommend Kendall!”

Elizabeth A.

“Had a family emergency, did a last minute booking and Bri confirmed right away. It took Milo sometime to gain trust but she was sweet and patient, kept me updated and made sure he was comfortable before going on his walk. Thank you so much!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had a dog in my household since before I was born. My family and I have owned four dogs since I was a child. Our dogs always felt safe around me (and vice versa), and I always had great relationships with them. I am a teacher entering summer break, so my schedule is opening up soon. I will be working Monday to Thursday from 8am to 1pm, and will be off Friday through Sunday. From June 25th to July 6th I have open availability. I start by gently introducing myself to the dog and allowing it to feel comfortable around me. I make sure that all of its basic needs are met. First and foremost, I will communicate with the pet parents to gain as much insight into the care of their dog as possible.

About: I have 10 years of experience training dogs of all breeds and ages! Happy to share several references from happy clients. I’ll love your dog like it’s my own! I’m a part-time student with flexibility in my schedule that allows me to properly care for your pet! I’m an early riser and love morning walks. I treat my dogs like they are my family because they are. Their comfort, health, and happiness are of critical importance to me. I have a large yard, pool, and plenty of space in my house for dogs to play!

“Norman, pup & I had a meet & greet, then set up one walk so far. It was a straight forward collaboration. Communications were clear & I came home to a happy healthy pup. Looking forward to continuing.”
