Dog Walking Newark

About: Hi! My name is Natalia but I go by Nat. I’ve been caring for dogs for about 7 years and have three dogs of my own. I’ve raised them since they were puppies, so I’m experienced with feedings, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and sticking to their routines. I understand every pet has different needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I treat every pet as my own and will always do my best for them and their owners! I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care most of the week. I work as a swim instructor on Thursdays from 6:30p.m.-8:15p.m. , and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m.-1:15 a.m., but I’m avaible after and before these hours. I’m happy to accommodate to walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’ll ensure your pet gets plenty of attention and care! If there is any case of a same day booking, I am sometimes able to take it! Your pets safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow all instructions carefully including eating habits/schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special requests. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while your away.

“She was always on time, with a perfect attitude and providing quality walking time for my dogs. 100% recommended, they had an amazing time and came back to the apt super tired, meaning they walked a lot! Thanks for taking care of the walking process with Sola/Chanel!”

“So thankful to have found Athena on such short notice! She was easy to communicate with and I loved the pictures she provided. Athena was super attentive and even filled up my dogs water bowls and brought in our packages when she arrived. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’m a retired nurse so have no problems giving shots or medications. (liquid is best) I have done so many times for my own dogs. I am currently not working so am available anytime to care for your pet(s). I do request 5 days in advance notice of the actual visit(s). I will be happy to feed and water your pet, clean up after them as well as walk/play with them!! I want them to trust me. I truly love our fur babies!

“RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.”

“Justin was great with my dog Conny! He also was good about communicating with me about timing. I'd definitely recommend Justin and will be booking him in the future.”

I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. On weekends, I occasionally go out, but with advance notice and bookings, I always plan my schedule accordingly to make sure your pet’s care is never affected. I prioritize consistency, attention, and quality time, so your dog will always feel well cared for and comfortable. In my home, I provide a calm and safe environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive my full attention. I only care for one pet at a time to ensure personalized care and reduce stress. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play. My neighborhood is quiet and dog-friendly, making it ideal for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs are handled consistently, helping your pet feel comfortable and secure in their own space.

About: Hi, I am Hong, you can call me Vicky too. For 18 wonderful years, my life revolved around my sweet Mini Schnauzer. From the playful puppy days to the gentle senior years, I've lovingly navigated every stage. I understand the unique needs of both growing puppies and older dogs—whether it’s extra cuddles, gentle walks, or medication management. I’ve been around dogs for over 20 years—starting in my student days, when I would help friends care for their dogs during the holidays. It’s something I’ve always truly enjoyed. Now, I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone! Your furry family member will be treated with kindness, respect, and the same deep devotion I’ve always given. They'll enjoy constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and all the cuddles they desire. 📢Why Choose Me? ⭐️ Constant Companionship: As someone who works from home, I provide near-constant supervision and company, ensuring your pet feels secure and never lonely. ⭐️ Proven Patience & Love: Having raised a dog to 18 years, I have a deep well of patience and understanding for every personality and need. ⭐️Seamless Communication: I am fluent in both English and Chinese（中文）, ensuring clear, easy, and worry-free updates for you. ⭐️ A Ready, Dog-Safe Home: My home is quiet, safe, and ready to welcome your pet without the stress of other resident animals. My work situation is great because I'm home-based and have a lot of flexibility with my time. I have the freedom to provide attention and potty breaks throughout the day. Your pet's safety is my top priority. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed, clean, and hazard-free environment. I am meticulous about following all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and routines to provide a stress-free experience. A Note on Health & Safety (For All Our Well-being): To ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I kindly require that all pets in my care are fully vaccinated and on a proven flea/tick prevention program. As my canine guests are welcome on my furniture and even to snuggle in my bed, this is essential for everyone's comfort and health. My goal is to provide a "home away from home" where your pet feels loved, secure, and happily exhausted.

“Charlene is an awesome dog sitter!!! She attentive and loving. She took the time to meet with Riel and I before dog sitting Riel, and asked a lot of questions to try to understand my dog. Riel loves her. Seeing the pictures of Riel while I was on a trip gives me a peace of mind! Thank you Charlene!”

“Atlas loves his walks with Mali! He's a young dog with typical lab energy and needs guidance. She understands his need to sniff while setting boundaries for him.”

About: I have a beautiful cat, Charlie. I learned a lot about cats from him. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Much Love (dog foster), NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles, dog care taker) and the Marin Humane Society ( cat care taker), where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. More recently I fostered Timon, a handsome husky, and found a furrever home for him. I love pets and have lots of patience. I’m currently working from home. And my working schedule is flexible. I can work around the schedule to fit pet care in. So I am available most time of the week. I have a fenced yard. My cat Charlie, he just doesn’t care. He is ok with other cats and dogs, based on past experience. No children at home.

About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I would be happy to take care of your pet. I grew up the youngest of 4 kids and we always had animals around. We had Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Chickens, my sister wanted a goat but my dad said thats too much. Being the youngest it was usually my responsibility to make sure the pets were fed and taken care of. I know going away can be hard not only for the pet but for the owner as well and I will always strive to make sure both are reassured and comfortable. Currently, I am between jobs, so I am completely free to assist morning or night, weekday or weekend. I am very flexible with my hours at this point so I can stay with your loved pets if needed. I would need to take care of your pets in the client's home as my wife has a pet allergy. I bring a very warm and friendly energy and would want to meet the pet before I start working with them to ensure we are comfortable with each other.

About: I have experience caring for pets with patience, love, and responsibility. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, giving them attention, and providing the care they need while their owners are away. I am comfortable with dogs of different ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I am responsible, reliable, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, routines, and special instructions. My goal is to give every pet the same care and affection I would want for my own. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I have flexibility for walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their home, provide careful supervision, and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Shirley was wonderful! Our dog is super shy and Shirley had such a calm, gentle presence with her. We are so grateful to be able to entrust her with our baby when we’re away!”

“My dog is a shelter girl we’ve only had a few months, so I never know what she’ll think of strangers but they had no problem becoming best pals! Thanks again for handling my last-minute request for a dog you hadn’t met yet 😅😁 Will book again!”

Victoria F.

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

About: I am a dog mom since 2020 when we got our first dog, a golden doodle and since then I have been around him and his friends. Dogs keep me energetic and lively. I talk to them and treat them like babies. My motherly instincts for dogs are no different from taking care of a human being. Since I got my baby, I have researched and have been enhancing my knowledge to take better care of him each day. Whenever I get an opportunity to stay around any dog, it makes me feel very blissful. I have many dogs in my family and friends groups. I keep my house very clean so they do not eat anything from ground. Even for emergencies, I have made an emergency kit which is ready with Charcoal, ear wipes, tweezer and 3% hydrogen peroxide (to induce vomiting) in case they ingest something. I know how to handle normal doggy issues that could occur and even how to handle an emergency situation. If needed I can go to vet immediately. For info, nearest vet to my place is 1 mile ( Golden paws Vet clinic) and nearest emergency (Beacon Veterinary specialist) is 6.5 miles. Your pets safety will be my TOP priority. I am full time at home and will have dedicated time to spend with dogs. I play with them, do stimulating activities as I do with my dog. Your dog will be no different to my own. I have a fenced yard and a long side yard where I play fetch 2-3 times with my dog. I am very creative with playing activities. I am well versed in case of emergency as I keep myself well informed with the knowledge needed to keep pets safe. Important note : Please make sure your dog is up to date with shots and rabies vaccine. Provide a proof you first bring in your dog for day care or boarding.

About: *Both me and my Dad, Gerry manage fbis account and are the primary care taker of dogs* Boarding prices are listed for dogs 25 pounds and under, larger dogs will incur prices 25% more. I’ve fostered dogs for the past 5 years and love spending time with animals. I work from home with flexible hours and live across a park. I’d love to take care of your dog whether it be overnight stays, walks or potty breaks. I’m home pretty much every day of the week and have a flexible working schedule. I tend to start my day around 8am and end it at 10pm. I’d be happy to adjust my schedule based on your needs. I have a fenced yard and a big home so your dog or animal won’t feel cramped. We also live across a park so I can take your dog to play there when needed. I don’t host more than 2 dogs from the same family in my house at one time, big or small, to ensure your dogs have enough attention and care - I live with 3 other family members who are very friendly that also help out with care every now and then (playing, walking etc).

“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”
