Dog Walking in Hopatcong

“Jaylene came the day after our meet and greet to walk our dog Remi! She was easy to communicate with to make plans and schedule. Jaylene took her time to win over Remi, who can be a little shy and skeptical upon meeting someone new. They went for a walk and Jaylene updated me with everything Remi did. Remi and I look forward to our next booking with Jaylene!”

“Julie is fantastic! Such a relief to find someone who takes just as good of care of my baby when I’m gone. Punctual for his walks every week, sends pictures of what they’re up to, and I trust her care with him 100%. My dog loves Julie and is excited to see her every time she stops in! If you don’t trust me, trust him!”

I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety.

Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.

About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.

“Maria was able to take our pups on walks on very short notice. She is very polite, was always on time and sent lots of pictures. Pups enjoyed their walks and always came back happy and tired! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. Growing up, I had four dogs at once as family pets. My siblings and I were responsible for taking care of them. Their breeds ranged from English Mastiff, to Great Dane, to Jack Russell Terrier. I especially helped take care of them towards the end of their lives, where care is more challenging. They have since passed, and I now have a 3 year old Lab of my own. Neighbors and family members have always relied on me to take care of their pets while away, and the dogs have always taken a liking to me. I pride myself on having experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes. I promise you’ll dog will be in good hands, as I know the unnerving feeling of leaving your pet with a stranger. As a teacher, I thankfully have the entire summer off. I’m available morning, day, night, and weekends! There is no time that is off limits. I will care for your dog however you request in your home, whether that be left out or crated. They will be walked or played with until their heart’s content!

About: **currently not offering boarding. Drop in visits and dog walking only I love dogs ! I’ve always grown up with dogs and adopted my own once I moved into my house 7 years ago. We lost our beloved 17 year old shih tzu in 2020 and since have adopted a fun loving 11 year old husky named Skylar! I have dog walked and house sat for others since I was in high school and have experience with young and old dogs . Neighbors , friends/family have also relied on me to help out when they need someone to care for their dog. I am willing and capable to administer medication if needed. I quit my full time teaching job to pursue a more flexible work schedule to be home more. I nanny part time and I am home most hours of the day. My husband is also home 3 days of the week given his first responder schedule . I have a completely fenced in back yard and we are extremely cautious when it comes to leaving our home / coming inside. We rarely use our front door and go out/in through our garage making sure to close the door before opening ! I am looking to board dogs primarily in my home if it’s over night . Our house is split leveled and although another dog is welcome in the entire house, having the split level is a nice option if the dog needs to be separated . If we do need to leave the house I would separate both my dog and the boarded dog to be safe. We have dog gates to separate the top /bottom level of our home. I prefer that all puppies are crate trained . We do have a crate . I work from home part time am always home or around town! My husband and I always make sure to give a good long walk to our dog each day and love to bring another pup along. I have a large fenced in yard which makes for a great space for your dog to run around and play/use the bathroom! My house is a split level so your dog will have its own area downstairs so I can separate my dog and yours during bedtime and if I run our of the house. I also am able to provide a crate for dogs who are crate trained.
