Dog Walkers in Jefferson, NJ

About: I work well with independent minded dog breeds, brachycephalic breeds, and dogs with behavioral issues like extreme anxiety. I have experience in senior care, socialization, and muzzle training with my own dog. For the past few years, I have done in-home sitting for friends and neighbors. I have been around dogs in my family since a young age. In-home pet sitting services include a daily walk, feeding, outside potty breaks and play time. Additional add-on services are brushing, administration of oral medication, wrinkle cleaning, and teeth brushing if needed. There is an additional fee for 2 or more dogs. My schedule allows for me to spend much of the day with your dog, about 6 hours. At night I can spend about 4 hours (plus sleeping time) and usually more. Although I have looked after them in the past, currently I am unable to care for cats. I am available for in-home dog sitting for 1+ nights or just an evening out. Timing for in-home sitting is by appointment. I am available for dog walking/drop-in visits Monday through Saturday, between 11:00 AM and 10:00 PM. While in-home sitting, I try to keep the dog's schedule as consistent with his daily life as possible. I also will take him for a daily walk or to the dog park if that is part of his regular schedule and the owner would like that. Other tasks included are feeding, water top off, outside potty breaks, and play time. Additional add-on services are brushing, administration of oral medication, wrinkle cleaning, and teeth brushing if needed. There is an additional fee for 2 or more dogs.

About: I grew up with dogs + cats and have experience raising puppies, handling senior dogs, and dogs with minor special needs (mobility issues and vision-impaired). I have worked with animal rescues as a foster for dogs as well! As for cats, I have fostered nearly 50 kittens and adult cats, and have experience with special needs cats! I also have experience with animals such as rabbits, lizards, fish, guinea pigs/hamsters. I currently have no form of employment and can spare most of my time for pet-care. I am willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and playtime or dog walks! I cannot do boarding as I have animals of my own and avoiding a potential problem is the priority. My pets are well-cared for and since they all came from rescues, their specific needs are taken into account. The cats have their own separate litter boxes, the dogs get plenty of playtime and sunshine. As for a client’s home, I will make sure that their pets are loved as if they are my own and I will keep the home clean if any accidents occur. Important information such as diets, recommended outside time, and general schedules for the animals will be taken into account and treated very seriously.

“Awesome all around! Kate even helped us out when our boy Rocky was having tummy issues by leaving us a sample of pumpkin powder to sprinkle on his food, which helped! Above and beyond care.”

About: I have been taking care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats since I was 15. I have been hired to dog and cat sit during the day (for pets of all ages), walking dogs, and drop in visits to feed animals and play with them! I am currently in physical therapy school and have a very flexible schedule. I am available after 4pm Monday through Friday and off on the weekends. Starting May 1st I will be available all day everyday except for days marked off! I have a fence and big backyard. When caring for others pets, I am able to let them outside with a fence or able to take them out on a leash. I also have a car if they enjoy car rides!

About: I’ve had dogs and watched dogs since I moved to this area in 2006. I love to take them for walks and give lots of scratches. Dogs are just the best. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I also don’t start until 8:30 or 9 so early mornings are good. I am up late also so any time at night is fine. My home has a fenced in yard. For other homes I would take the dogs for a walk, refresh water, give a treat and make sure they’re all settled before heading out

“Ava is the best! She cares so much about our dog and gets back to me very quickly. She always sends us pictures and videos and updates about the walk. I would highly recommend Ava!”

About: I have been around animals since I was born and have gained experience caring for pets by helping neighbors and family members while they were away. As a student at Rowan College of South Jersey, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to help meet your animal care needs. I am dependable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time caring for animals of all kinds. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding them on their regular schedule, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get proper exercise and attention. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean environment and giving them plenty of affection and supervision. I also follow any specific instructions given by the owner, such as medication schedules, dietary restrictions, or behavior guidelines, to ensure the best possible care.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, and I have raised two dogs myself along with my wife. I’ve also watched plenty of friends pets while they are out of town I work remote, so I often have free gaps throughout the day when I can take my dogs on walks or stop by for a visit. I have two incredibly friendly golden retrievers, but there is also plenty of space in my house along with a yard in case pets need space.

“Tommy is really awesome! I really appreciate the updates during her walks while I’m at work. He makes sure my dog uses the bathroom each visit and that’s a relief for me. Thanks for being so great with Luna I’m sure she looks forward to every walk!!”

About: Hi! I’m Olivia Pierman, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets. For the past two years, I’ve worked with my boyfriend in his kennel business, gaining valuable experience in professional pet care. At home, I’m surrounded by three lively Golden Retrievers and a sweet rescued Pitbull named Molly. They keep me busy and deepen my passion for connecting with animals. What sets me apart? I don’t just care for pets—I bond with them. Whether it’s playtime, special care for seniors, or positive reinforcement training, I’m all about making sure your pets feel loved and happy. I can’t wait to bring that same joy to your furry family members! I’m currently finishing my teaching internship, so I’m in school Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. My boyfriend does this full time and is at the house in the day with the dogs. I’m available for pet care before and after school, as well as on weekends, ensuring your pets get the care they need. I ensure a safe and comfortable environment with a fenced-in yard for secure playtime. Crates are available for pets who prefer their own space. To keep everyone safe, dogs are separated unless they’re being supervised.

“Kevin was prompt to responding to my request for a dog walker. On the same day we set up a date for meet and greet. I received a text message from Kevin that he was on his way. My dog Rory is a 100 pound English Labrador and met Kevin at the door. Right away they both clicked. Kevin told me he had 2 dogs and he was very attentive to my boy. We agreed on the dates and time and I completed the process online. On the first day Kevin texted he was on his way. Rory was excited to go for his walk and was happy as evidence by running to me and wagging his tail when he came back. Every morning Kevin came, Rory met him at the door. I was very pleased with how friendly Kevin was and the attention he gave to Rory. I received 4 adorable pictures of Rory from Kevin while they were on their walks. I definitely recommend Kevin for your dog care needs. Thank you very much.”

About: I have always had a soft spot for puppies to seniors, all breeds of pooches. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides to drive around, a special treat for a pup cup and playing fetch in the yard. I am comfortable with medications, baths/grooming, accidents and the endless dog kisses. I have 2 dogs myself (Rottweiler, and a King Charles Cavalier) who are very rambunctious and always keep me on my toes. I am currently available during the week, weekends and holidays. I am home and available for drop ins, long visits, dog-walks, boarding/overnight visits at your home. I do have a very large fenced in yard for dogs to play in. Multiple crate sizes for dogs and cats along with carriers. For cats- I have multiple cat trees in my home. I do have areas to seperate pets if needed in my 4 story home. Multiple food bowls, blankets and beds to keep everyone happy.

About: I bring hands-on, real-world experience from working at a professional dog daycare called Fetch, where I regularly supervised groups of 17–20 dogs at once. This taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play safely, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and enriched. Beyond daycare work, I’ve also done individual dog walking and spent time volunteering at local shelters, where I walked dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. These experiences have helped me build patience, confidence, and strong handling skills. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun experience for them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I dedicate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays entirely to it. I treat pet care like a full-time responsibility on those days, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, play, feedings, and attention. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, they become my priority, and I make sure their routine is followed and their needs are fully met. In my own home, I’ve cared for my dog since he was a puppy—we started with crate training and now he enjoys playtime in our fenced yard and daily walks. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable with different routines and training styles. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very flexible and always follow the routine their dog is used to. Whether that means crate time, specific walking schedules, certain feeding instructions, or favorite play activities, I make sure to care for their pet the same way they would. My goal is to keep each dog comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to what feels familiar to them.

“Britney was great with our 11 month old Bernese Mountain Dog, Bohdi. We had her come for a mid morning walk for a week that I was away to break up his day since I work from home and he’s used to being with someone. Bohdi is usually hesitant with new people but he warmed up to Britney immediately and was excited to see her even on the two practice runs beforehand. I know he was in good hands and I will definitely use Britney again.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid. My neighbors, friends, and family would always reach out to me to care for their dogs while away or just to walk and let them out on a busy day. I have some experience training dogs, grooming them, and giving medications. I have also helped foster dogs! I am active and love to walk and play with pups but can also act as a great companion or company! I work 3 days out of the week. I am looking to care for pets on the days that I am not working. My schedule differs each week. I am looking for something to keep me busy and entertained on those days! I am safe and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable coming into your home and handling your pet and of course cleaning up their messes! I love being outside, playing and being active! But I also love hanging out and being a companion when your fur baby needs it.
