Dog Walkers in Lanoka Harbor, NJ

About: I have had dogs all my life and absolutely have a soft spot for senior dogs. Currently I have 2 dogs. A Senior Golden Retriever named Skye and a 9 month old Hound-Lab mix named Sonny. Since Sonny is a puppy he pulls on a leash and jumps, I have experience with dogs that have these characteristics. The Dog breeds that I have the most experience with are French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers. I prefer to work with medium/small dog breeds, however, I am open to working with bigger dog breeds as well. I am a full-time student at East Carolina University in North Carolina studying elementary education. I am residing in New Jersey from May 9th- August 10th. My schedule varies throughout the week. However my schedule is flexible and I am able to work with you on times and schedules that fits you and your pets needs. DATES NOT AVALIBLE: I will not be available from May 24th- 29th or through June 6th-13th. All other dates I am available unless changed. I am used to crated dogs and non- crated dogs. I am very experienced in following directions and rules as needed. I also am used to walking dogs every morning and evening if needed. I do ask that there is a list of all animals and how much they eat, what times they are fed, and any special precautions (medicine, eating in separate rooms, different foods, etc.) that are needed for each pet. Lots of playing and petting is to be expected.

“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our dog this past week. She came twice a day, let him out, took him for a walk, cuddled, and played with him. Looking forward to continuing to have her come visit while we are at work!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, not only my own but friends and family as well, through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. My long-term goal is to become a veterinarian, and I’m currently training to become a veterinary assistant/tech while continuing my education in animal medicine. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, not just a side job. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy pets, and multi-pet households. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I work at a veterinary clinic around 4-5 days a week, with most days being pretty flexible hours. I’m available for walks, drop in’s and house sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for pets. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With my veterinary assistant training and future career goals in veterinary medicine, I pay close attention to animal behavior, health, routines, and stress levels. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and handling pets calmly and patiently. I will always treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care.

About: Been taking care of cats since I can remember, I can administer medications brush them,trim nails, even give them a bath. If they are used to it. I currently don't work. So I'm eager to get started. I will be reliable and trustworthy with your babies. I can't wait to meet them. I will care for your pet like I would my own. Keeping them happy and safe. Cats are funny so it'll take a while for them to get used to me. All animals love me.

“Cara was great! Very patient with our pup. Highly recommend!”

About: Ever since I was little I have been taking care of many animals. I grew up with a cat, and my family adopted a dog five years ago that I helped train! Aside from that, I’ve had chickens, goats, and ducks! I’m a recent college graduate working retail shifts typically at night. I have a flexible schedule and if needed can change things around in order to take care of your pet. Understanding that my presence is different in the pets home, I prioritize making sure they are comfortable with me there and not scared. I aim to make sure they are taken care of and not stressed out in their own home.

About: My name is Madelyne, and I love taking care of pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, feeding schedules, and giving oral medication when needed. I always spend time playing, walking, and giving lots of love and attention so pets don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get the best care possible. As a college student I have a flexible schedule and am able to meet anyone’s needs when it comes to their pets needs. I have two dogs of my own and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always had a passion for animals and I’ve loved them since I was little. I have volunteered at a local veterinarian office and really enjoyed my time learning about animals and their health and care. I love bonding with all types of animals and caring for them like family. My two dogs currently, I love taking care of and giving them attention such as walks and cuddles. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, as well as the previous dogs I’ve owned have lived to 12 and 14. I have watched puppies as well as taking care of my own, I am good at all kinds of training such as potty training and teaching dogs different tricks. I’ve had lots of experience with all aged dogs. I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years for friends and family and decided I’d love to expand and care for other people’s pets as well. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily routine since I commute to college from home only two days a week. I have plenty of time to give pets extra attention, playtime, walks, and loving care so they feel safe and happy. I’m also very able and am willing to work with owners in whatever they may need. I care for pets in their homes, offering compassion, attention, and safety, drawing from years of experience with dogs and a lifelong love of animals. I also offer dog walks, I’ve always loved walking and enjoy seeing pups happy and content after being walked. And of course I love seeing them happy on their walk as well!

About: I have spent the last 16 years training dogs…from dogs that were sent for k-9 training, German shepherds, boxers, and Rottweilers to small dogs like bernadoodles and Boston terriers. I am know for having well trained disciplined dogs that are subject to friendly environments where dogs can behave well together I am waiting to go to training for my employment and have a lot of free time to watch and walk dogs. Other than my daily training sessions I can give full time carr I have a fenced in yard with no dogs currently living at this current location so they can have freedom to roam around in the yard and in the house without any safety concerns

“Elena was a hero today. She ran over to our house after Sammy destroyed a throw pillow. She was able to get it away from him before he could eat it. Elena is so good to Sammy and to us.”

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

“Colleen is the best!”

I'm there for 30 minutes, so if you need plants watered, garbage cans brought up, and mail on the counter, I'm more than happy to do so.*** We have a fenced in backyard with a nice patch of grass and shade for hot/rainy days. We also have two declawed cats in the house that we could easily keep in our finished basement, if needed.

“Shawn is awesome. He met Nala beforehand and she immediately liked him. Shawn is always on time and takes good care on my Nala during the walks.”

About: I was a veterinary technician for years and I just love and adore animals. I can administer medication if needed, and give a lot of love to your pets. I currently work part time at a restaurant in the evenings so I am free all day. I can also come by after work if needed. I currently cannot care for pets in my own home because I have a dog who is not accepting of other animals in her home.

About: I have had many pets since a young child and also helped my mom rehabilitate injured or newborn animals. My family has relied on me for pet sitting and dog walking. I trained my dog Darla from when she was a puppy and have always had a strong love for animals. She has since passed and have 2 dogs named Willow and Pixie. I also have 6 chickens in a chicken coop in my yard. I am currently available full time from Monday through Friday and am open to sitting on some weekends. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I do have a fenced yard and have a dog door that can be locked if needed. Also I have 2 dogs and one cat in the house.

About: I've taken care of multiple dogs in a household, where I fed, walked, and bathed them and made sure they got their fun in as well. Currently working a full-time job, but will be more than happy to provide any after work activities for your dogs in the chance schedules change. I currently have an apartment but can make it a dog friendly environment for a daycare situation. Caring for pets at a client's place during a drop in will be simple as it needs to be depending on what the client prefers.

“Ashley was amazing. We were nervous to leave our new puppy and she was very comforting and kept us updated with pictures and videos the whole time. would definitely love to use her again!”

“Gina has a really relaxed personality, which works well with my dog who has anxiety. She warmed up quickly to Gina and seems very comfortable around her. I really love how responsive Gina is. She reached out the day of to confirm the walk and always responds to texts quickly. She’s very respectful of the house and even took her shoes off without asking which I thought was pretty impressive. Overall she has good energy and is definitely a dog person.”

About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!
