“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.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I currently go to school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until 3PM! On Fridays I am free after 12PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are completely open. Weekends must be scheduled 2 weeks in advance. I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.
“It was great working with Jennifer. She really helped my dad out when he needed it. And Winner (his dog) seemed to have a great time, too. Will definitely work with her again.”
“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 love dogs, big and small, and enjoy building relationships based on love and trust with dogs I meet. My friends know how much love and attention I show their dogs whenever I visit, and frequently have asked me to care for their dogs while they're away, whether it's a week or longer vacation, an overnight trip, or simply needing someone to feed and/or walk their dog either as-needed or on a given schedule. I have experience with older and special-needs dogs, and have given dogs eye drops, given pills and liquid medications (including dogs who weren't eager to eat), and I've even given IV infusions to one dog I was caring for. I work fully remotely so dogs in my apartment are almost never left alone, and if they are, it's never for more than 5-10 minutes at most. My schedule is very flexible, so if your dog needs to be walked at exactly 8am, noon, 4pm and 8pm, I can generally accommodate that or any other schedule. I try to maintain consistency with how your dog is cared for by you, so if you allow him or her on furniture, he or she is welcome on mine, but if you don't, I'll make sure he or she stays off mine. If there's a specific route you'd like me to walk your dog on, I'm happy to follow it, and I'll follow any and all instructions you provide related to treats, feeding, etc.
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: Taking care of your pet is like adding another addition to our family, I will make sure to exercise, play and love them from the moment you leave until your return. If they enjoy walking around the lake and playing till there hearts content or just spending the day keeping them company snuggled up on the couch. Any specific needs or little extra things you would normally do for them please don’t hesitate to let me know(grooming, medications, extra belly rubs)! Making sure everyone is comfortable , safe and happy while you are away is what I wish to provide.I’m a stay at home mom of two boys and a little girl just looking for a little extra income doing something I love. I currently have several fish and our cat Spinel age 6! I am currently a stay at home mother so I am able to make your pets happy, safe and comfortable while you are away ! Where we go they go! Whether you need me to come to your home or ours I am available for long walks , potty training, and some good play times with belly rubs and love!
“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.”

“Julia was terrific! She showed up for a last minute request. She was friendly, prompt and flexible. My dog was very comfortable with her at the outset. I was so impressed that since she needed to address something at home she offered to take my dog with her rather than give me less than the full hour walk.”

“Lin was just great with ROMY. She was right on time for her walking ROMY and ROMY immediately took to her. She is very caring and calm and I was so happy to see her manner with my puppy! I will definitely be rebooking again.”

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and fish. I volunteer at the West Milord Animal shelter. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I have experience administering medication to all different animals. I've also worked with and trained puppies. I love all animals and taking care of them is my passion. Pet care is my full time job and I love it. This is a daily passion, woven into my routine with morning walks, playtime, and tailored feeding schedules. I'm flexible, adapting to each pet's energy levels and needs, ensuring they receive consistent attention and a safe, loving environment. Evening routines include calming cuddles and preparing for a restful night's sleep, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness. I offer attentive pet care, tailoring my approach to each animal's needs. My routine includes daily essentials like walks, fresh water, and meals; playtime with toys and training; a safe environment; and plenty of love and cuddles. I keep clients updated with photos and notes.
About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own! I have been volunteering at Father Johns Animal House for a little over 3 years now dealing with all sorts of cats and dogs. I am a 20 year old professional dog groomer. I am currently working part-time while regularly going to school. I like to take care of pets whenever I have the free time! I am willing to work for someone who is flexible and understanding of my schedule and conflicts I will play with your pets, feed them, walk them, and make them feel loved and comforted. I love keeping pets happy and warm, it’s the best feeling in the world!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life, and grown up with them since the day I was born. I’ve never not had a dog, my childhood dog lived to be 16 years. I’m here to do what I love and be able to spend my time with all of your fur babies Im flexible I walk dogs while being able to finish school, I do this Monday through Friday and I’m looking to get more overnight sits for the weekends I care for every animal as if they are my own they will be as equally as spoiled as they would in their own home. The safety of your animal is not in question with me because I understand how much we worry about our animals when they aren’t able to be with us.
“Very nice couple. We met ahead of time in a meet n greet. I explained my dogs issues. The two of them were very understanding and patient. I would definitely recommend them.”

About: I am an outdoorsy person. I am fun and athletic. I love going for walks to get exercise. I have had dogs in my house all my life. I am very comfortable taking care of dogs. I have always been responsible for walking and feeding all of the dogs in the house. I love playing with dog whether it be fetch or tug o war I am up for all games. I love all breed of dogs. I have had many different breeds in my home from husky to old English sheep dog to a shih tzu. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pup. I am available for boarding, dog walking and drop ins whenever you need me. I have a big back yard and a quiet neighborhood so I can provide plenty of exercise for your fur baby. I also have 2 children who love dogs and can’t wait to play with them as well.

About: I’ve had a corgi for 6 years… which honestly feels like earning a PhD in chaos management. If you know, you know. Corgis are dramatic, stubborn, wildly smart, and 100% convinced they run the household — and I’ve survived (thrived, even). Because of that, I’m calm under pressure, consistent with routines, and very familiar with high-energy zoomies, side-eyes, and “I will not be doing that” attitudes. I’m great with playful pups who need structure and stimulation, and I have the patience for seniors who move a little slower and need extra TLC. Your pet will get walks, play, cuddles, and someone who genuinely gets their main-character energy. I work part time and volunteer, so my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your pups needs! Need a weeknight fur baby sitter or wanna get away on the weekend? You can count on me :) Safety and trust are my top priorities. I stick closely to your pets usual routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I always keep doors secured, use leashes on walks, and avoid unsafe environments like crowded dog parks unless requested. I monitor behavior, energy levels, and eating habits to make sure everything feels normal and healthy. I treat every home with respect, keep spaces clean, and send regular updates so you feel completely at ease while you’re away.
