Dog Walkers in Lawrence, NJ

About: I’ve had pets in my home ever since I was born, and have always helped with pet care since I was able to. I’ve owned dogs of different sizes and all ages, cats, and many small animals! I have experience not only with my own pets but with taking care of family members’ pets when they leave for vacations or other extended absences, as well as ongoing weekly volunteer work taking care of shelter cats and kittens. Being able to read an animal’s behavior to understand when they are anxious, happy, or unwilling to be touched is extremely important to me and something I have learned over the years being surrounded by animals. Ensuring an animal’s comfort and building trust is as much of a priority to me as ensuring their safety and health. I’m currently an undergraduate student in college, and so over the summer between semesters I have a much more open schedule. I’m available over the week during the afternoon and evenings over summers, and on weekends throughout the semester! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, making sure they are fed and taken care of while also ensuring they feel comfortable being around me. An animal’s boundaries are very important to me, and I am very meticulous when it comes to making sure everything that needs to be done gets done. I always keep you updated with plenty of pictures of your fur babies!

“Ryan and Shannon are amazing!!! I contacted them very last minute to do a meet and greet and walk our pittie, Dakoda, and they were so responsive and flexible and accommodating! You can tell they just genuinely love animals and Dakoda loved them! Will 100% be asking them to walk Dakoda in the future 😊 Thanks guys!!!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m calm, patient, and always pay attention to what the dog needs, whether that’s play, rest, or just quiet company. I also keep owners updated so they feel connected and worry-free. This isn’t just a gig for me, I actually care about the pets I watch Currently I have no job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will make sure your pet has an amazing time I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I keep their feeding, walks, and playtime consistent, and I give them lots of attention so they don’t feel alone. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I stay in touch with regular updates and photos.

“Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was always punctual, communicated clearly and consistently, and treated my dog with such kindness and care. It was clear my pup felt comfortable and happy with her. On top of that, Andrea is genuinely lovely—inside and out. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi there! I’m Kira/Kiwi🥝(they/she) :)) Over my 14+ years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs of all ages (seniors included!) and sizes (biggest was 125lbs; prefer a 100lb max limit plz :)). Caring for gentle giants, puppies, and dogs that get a bad rap is where I feel most comfortable🥰 I trained all my dogs and took care of them from age 8 onwards, and have cared for many of my friends' dogs as well. I grew up with a Lab/German Shepherd rescue and raised a Lab/Pit/Pointer rescue pup, and for a brief time, a grown Rottie when I was a baby. I also have experiences with dog bathing and routine grooming/trimming; my regulars were Goldens and Labs (big puppies to arthritic seniors), small puppies (I got lots of pug puppies!), our sweet and vocal Huskies, many anxious pups, and a majority of my lovely furry clients were Pitties and bully breeds of all ages. I also have plenty of experience with anxious dogs and cats of all ages; I’m very patient and I let Them set the pace! I’m quick on my feet, a fast learner, and I will care for your furry children as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s)! Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries or questions! Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a good fit :)) I currently work part-time in pet care in my professional life, while I save up to continue my education. I pet sit in my free time :)) Safety and trust are the most important aspects to pet care, besides our unconditional love for our sweet animals! Your house, your rules. All doors closed? You got it. Cat can come in and out? No problem! Only walk with a specific harness and leash? I got you! Ensuring your peace of mind and your pet’s safety is my top priority, just let me know your boundaries and care preferences!

“Amelia is amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and so good and patient with my little pup.”

Claire P.

“Thank you so much! Excellent work, she’s looks so happy too! I appreciate you stopped by, I tried to remember everything that she may need but I forgot about the ran. Thank you so much for drying her, moving forward I will be sure to leave one out. I truly appreciate you and I look forward to working with you again in the future!”

“Rebecca was wonderful with my dog. I love my pet very much and I'm very careful when hiring anyone to walk her, and I felt so comfortable after meeting Rebecca. She even came a little early to introduce herself to me and my dog. She played with my dog, who really liked Rebecca immediately, as I did. Rebecca was personable, friendly, professional, punctual and trustworthy and was even extremely flexible and accommodating when I had to make a last minute time change, which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend Rebecca and will definitely contact her again. My pet is happy with her new friend. Thanks so much Rebecca !!”

About: I have been pet sitting since 2009 for my friends and neighbor’s dogs. I have taken dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs who required extra care and medication. In 2021, I brought home Woody, a 18lb Cavapoo, whom I’ve had the greatest joy training and cuddling with my husband, Kyle. Woody is the love of our lives. Woody is social and has made many furry friends at the dog park. We love to take Woody with us everywhere we go including: hiking, shopping, swimming, and we would love to take your dog with us too (with your permission). If you have a dog that prefers to chill at home, we also love just staying home as well. I often work from home and Kyle is a full-time at home paw-dad so our schedule is flexible your dog will get all the attention he/she wants. We only board small to medium dogs (up to 40lbs) We’ll gladly send updates with photos and videos of your fur-baby. We live in a great walking neighborhood and less than 300m from the dog park. Our services: - send updates with photos and videos - daily dog walks (3-4 walks a day for doggy day care and boarding) - food prepping for fresh food/kibble (whatever the pet parent provides) - trips to dog park (doggy day care and boarding if weather permitting and pet parent approves) - safe home environment - fun and playtime with Woody - plenty of nap and cuddle times I work from home. I usually would take the dogs out for a potty break every 4 hours or more frequently at the request of the owner or the dog’s body language. I often take my dog to the dog-park or go hiking for 1hour or so before dinner time. I have a small 18lb cavapoo who loves to play. I also live quite close to a dog park and take dog out to socialize every day.

I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and any time I spend with them is a time well spent! :) I am available to take care of your pets any time any day. I am actively looking for a full time job, so I am currently free to hang out with your pet. I always start with a gentle approach to any new animal. I understand all animals have different personalities, and I respect them and their space.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with most breeds and all sizes. I have experience with senior dogs, sick dogs, and puppies!
