About: Hi! Besides growing up with dogs, I used to dog sit in college for about 2 years. I also own an Australian Shepherd, who I raised since she was a puppy. Based on all this, I have experience from puppy to senior dogs and understand what is needed when it comes to caring for dogs. I work remotely full-time but I am able to come walk & stay with your pup in the morning or evenings (and special requests during lunch time). If I come to your home, I will respect your space and belongs. As for your pup, I will make sure I follow your instructions on what is best for them. Whether that is making sure they are in their crate or certain room before I leave, have food in their bowl or giving them fresh water!
About: Hi, I’m Rita — a lifelong animal lover with a heart for pups and a head for details. I treat every dog like family, blending genuine affection with a calm, reliable presence that pets (and their humans!) can count on. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or sticking to a strict medication schedule, I bring both warmth and responsibility to every visit. One of my proudest experiences was fostering Leland, a sweet pittie love bug, for nearly a year. Helping him grow in confidence and eventually find his forever home was a beautiful reminder of how much love and trust dogs give when they feel safe and cared for. That’s the kind of connection I strive to build with every pup I meet. With me, your dog gets more than a sitter — they get a new best friend. Pet care is my passion and priority—I'm available for evening walks all week, plus overnight stays and weekend sits to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. I offer lots of love, attention, and playtime along with adventurous walks during my time with your for baby. They will receive great care while gaining a new friend.
“Alex has been an incredibly reliable walker for my pup. I’ve had reoccurring walks scheduled every weekday and I could not be happier with her services. She always sends me updates and is super responsive as well as flexible when I have had to cancel and rebook last second :) 10/10”
“Sophia was great with Roscoe and an excellent communicator. Had no issues whatsoever and was even able to help on such a short notice. Will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”
“This was our second time using Rick. He is great with our dog who is aggressive. He takes him on long walks that tire him out and I know our dog Ben is safe in his care.”
“Katherine stepped in with very short notice and had a great walk with my dog. She communicated great and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable walker.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who cared for my dog Rosie for 12 years. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and love the energy and sweetness of puppies. I’m between jobs this September, so my schedule is very flexible! I love exploring the city on walks and would be excited to spend that time with dogs. I currently live in an apartment with several parks nearby, perfect for walks, playtime, and exploring with your dog! I look forward to it! :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I ensure all dogs are taken for 3-4 walks per day, only have approved snacks, and are treated like family. I currently work from home 4-5 per week so I love having company with me! Very flexible schedule with little to no meetings. Dog sitting is my favorite weekend activity! I have a large apartment and live very close to many dog parks in Hoboken! I do live on the 5th floor with no elevator, so not the best for elderly, large dogs.
“Gisselle is so sweet, kind and so loving towards my dog. She has helped me out all week with my girl and been giving her plenty of love, cuddles and kisses. I am so happy I found her and will use her services again!”
“Paola does a great job. I have a 90+ lb pup who is scared around new people. Paola came over to meet him before the first walk and spent extra time on the first walk because he was barking for the first 10 minutes. She was very patient, he calmed down and they had a successful walk. Thank you for your patience and care, Paola!”
“Ramona is fantastic and my puppy adored her immediately - which is saying a lot because although he’s a lover, he’s afraid of everyone and everything at first! She made me feel super at ease about leaving him, and I’m confident he’s taken care of :)”
About: Hi! My name is Natty, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs and cats, including my own pets: a sweet beagle named Harley, a golden retriever named Layla, and three rescued cats named Benito, Minnie, and Oreo, all of whom were adopted as strays and became part of our family. Being surrounded by animals every day has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are when caring for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am very responsible, caring, and communicative, and I will always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make them feel happy and loved! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and playtime! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets at home. I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for, while keeping owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind.
About: My name is Asia and I’m your friendly neighbor living in Hoboken, I’m a dog mom to Bosia, miniature poodle puppy (10lbs). He is very sweet and loves making new friends! I have always had love for dogs, I had a poodle in my family for 18 years since I was 10 years old. I’m currently working from home and can provide a good care for your little fur baby, doggy daycare and regular potty breaks. Your puppy will be treated with all needed care, love and attention, safety is guaranteed and friendly puppy zoomies are also included ;-) I’m currently working part-time from home and will have plenty of time playing with your pup, giving him the attention he needs. My miniature poodle will be his friend and we can do joint activities. I live in a flat, with a park and a dog park in close proximity. Your dog will be having a little sweet furry friend to play. I will provide for your pup a safe environment, I’m very responsible and diligent in following your care instructions if any.
“Lucas was great and came highly recommended. Good communication prior and during. Really appreciate the care for our dog during the multiple daily walks we scheduled. Will be booking again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of very different sizes, breeds and energy levels, from a large Boxer to a small, high-energy French Bulldog. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement and giving dogs the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own and keep you updated along the way! I work from home most weekdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and playtime throughout the week, and I can often accommodate different schedules with advance notice. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so their day feels familiar and comfortable while you’re away. Every pet has different needs, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality and any boundaries before caring for them. I’ll closely follow your instructions for walks, feeding, medications, playtime and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m also mindful of things like leash safety, doors and gates, interactions with other dogs, and changes in behavior. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is being well cared for!

Had a great experience with this dog walker! They were friendly, reliable, and took great care of Sasha. Communication was smooth, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Sasha seemed happy and well taken care of after his walk. Really appreciate the care and attention. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Kenny was GREAT. I was under the weather and needed someone to take over my weekend walk. Kenny replied fast, was friendly and communicative, and got a great review from the client. She said Tiny Tim was well taken care of and really liked Kenny. Will absolutely book again. Thank you Kenny 💪🏾
Steven was amazing. He looked after my dogs like they were part of his family! He showed up consistently and on time and communicated extremely well. He sent great pictures and spent a lot of time with my kids! On top of everything he rescued me from a stuck elevator. I highly recommend Steven!
Candace is phenomenal! Reliable, quick to communicate, and incredible with Sprinkles. The Rover card updates and pictures always give me total peace of mind while I’m at work. Sprinkles comes back happy and thoroughly exercised every single time. 10/10 recommendation! She’s the best!
