Dog Walking Lake Hopatcong

“Julie did a great job. She and my dog connected right away and I felt safe and secure with having him be in her care. She was responsive, professional and follow-through on all that we agreed on. I highly recommend her and will be calling upon her in the future as the need presents itself.”

“She did an excellent job, our Bella is older with health issues.”

“First time using Rover and Christina did a good job. Simple request to take our pups for a walk up a hill, for therapy, and she executed it.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I’m a dedicated sitter with experience watching up to three dogs at one time, making sure each pet feels valued and never overlooked. I take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and comfort levels so they feel safe, calm, and truly at home while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving plenty of playtime, or creating a relaxing environment, my priority is always your pet’s comfort and well-being. You can trust that your pets will be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine love. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time, but I’m always available for early-morning walks before work, and I’m typically home from the office around 4 p.m. to handle evening walks, feeding, and playtime. I also work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide extra attention, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. Your pets will get consistent care and a reliable routine they can count on. In my home, your dog will have plenty of company—my own dog and my roommate’s dog are both friendly and love having a new playmate around. We live near a park, so the dogs get plenty of chances to run, explore, and burn off energy. I also keep everything organized with a shared board where I track each dog’s walk times, potty breaks, and feeding schedule. This helps ensure your pet stays on a consistent routine and receives attentive, reliable care. Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety, structure, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for.

“Jessica was wonderful with Toffee! She took great care of my pup during our two days of walks, and her kind nature really shows. I’m very happy with her services and will definitely reach out to her again.”

About: Reliable and compassionate pet sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medications and providing attentive, personalized care to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Services include drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. Your pets will be treated like family every step of the way! I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare! I’m available for drop in visits and walks upon special request, due to my work schedule, but I’m available for overnight stays 7 days a week. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar environment while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and attentive to their comfort and well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and senior, I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.

“Very knowledgeable. Very patient and friendly”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner, having been raised surrounded by animals. That being said, I always helped to take care of our pets since I was a young kid. Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snails, crabs; you name it, I've raised it. I love animals and love to care for them. I am athletic so I am great at keeping up with even the most energetic pets! I would love to be of service to anyone who may need me. I have also petsit and dogwalked for others privately for pay before this, so I have proper experience as well beyond my personal life. I work from home and varying hours between 3-8 pm on Mon-Fri (Usually only 2-4 hours in the studio at a time), so I have plenty of free time for care! I have experience with free-roaming pets of all kinds, as well as cage-training and homes with limited areas the animal is meant to stay in, so I have no trouble remembering these things. I can send regular updates if requested, including photos!

“Very communicative and really found the positive in my quarky puppy Ollie”

About: I am a teacher in Secaucus who recently moved to Rockaway. I love dogs and my greatest joy in life is spending time with my dog, Bronxie! I’m a teacher who is looking for summer work which makes it perfect to do pet care with an open schedule! I am available Monday-Friday in mornings and afternoons. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for dogs of all ages. Also, I make sure all dogs get along together and have their own space when they need it.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)

About: I have experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through these roles I cared for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs while learning how to recognize signs of stress, illness, and discomfort. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adults, and seniors and I understand the importance of maintaining routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. As a veterinary assistant, I also have experience handling animals using fear free techniques and compassion, giving owners peace of mind that their fur babies are in capable hands. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like family. I'm currently on summer break from college so I will be available for bookings through June-mid August. I am available for weekends and weekdays when needed. I focus on maintaining your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and any other care requirements. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you're away by providing reliable, attentive care in their familiar environment

“Our Boston terrier absolutely LOVES Jaylynn! Going away for a week, we left our pup at home with a relative who couldn’t take him in regular walks, but Jaylynn came every day to tire him out. She was prompt, communicative, and flexible. 10/10 would recommend”
