Dog Walking Newark

“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!”

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: 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.

“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!”

About: Independently managed the care of pets for family and friends for 11 years, including feeding schedules, walks, and grooming routines. Willing to talk more about the care of your fur baby, if there are any concerns. I care for two birds (a Sun Conure and a Green-Cheek Conure) and two dogs (a Chocolate Lab and a Shih Tzu), which means I start my day early to handle their needs. This includes changing bedding, providing scheduled meals, grooming, and engaging them in regular playtime. Whether caring for pets in my own home or a client’s, I prioritize consistency, safety, and individual attention. In my home, I create a structured, pet-friendly environment, while in clients’ homes, I stick closely to their routines and preferences. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and well-cared for in any setting.

About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I have experience caring for my own dog and understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and confident while you’re away. As a dedicated pet lover, I structure my daily routine around ensuring the dogs in my care receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of mental stimulation. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your pup's regular feeding, walking, and nap schedules without disruption. With 8 years of personal experience raising my own dogs—including a Havanese for 6 years and a dachshund, schnauzer mix for 8 years—I am deeply familiar with managing daily feeding routines and bathroom schedules. I provide a safe, reliable environment by sticking strictly to your instructions, keeping a watchful eye on your pet, and maintaining a predictable, stress-free routine while you are away.

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.

“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: 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.

“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.”

“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 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: 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!

About: Since I was born, I have had pets running around my house and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I have had 5 cats and 3 dogs and I know everything there is to know about taking care of them. I will make sure your pets get the same love that my pets get at home. I don't have a job right now so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, but I will update my availability when I do find a job. I live in an area with lots of open walking space and places to use the bathroom. There is a park close by with wide open areas that I know pets would love to roam and explore.

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 a heeler shepherd mix. He’s a good boy but not for everyone. Even though he’s a challenging breed, we go on many adventures together. I have the knowledge to work with even challenging dogs. Just let me know when is good. I try to keep my evenings free but if it’s a good fit I’m open to making it work. My pet is well cared for and has a very enriched life. I would follow any preferences set by the owner because I know how important consistency is

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, big and small. I’ve had puppies and seniors, I can say I have a real passion for taking care of dogs, be it little guys or big boys they all deserve lots of play time and endless walks.

I always come from a place of mutual respect with animals and people, I’m also someone who comes prepared. I’ll bring snacks for training, cleansers for messes and anything in between.

About: I've been a devoted pet caregiver for 9 years, caring for cats, rabbits, and hamsters with love and patience. Over the past year, I've also gained hands-on experience raising my own energetic Border Collie, who is now 10 months old and about 44 lbs. Through daily training, walks, playtime, and caring for a high-energy puppy, I've developed a deeper understanding of dogs' physical and emotional needs. I know that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or senior, I always provide patient, attentive, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also enjoy sending detailed daily updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I'm currently an MBA student and have just completed my first year. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. During the school year, my classes are primarily in the evenings, allowing me to continue providing reliable daytime care with minimal scheduling conflicts. Because I currently rent my home, I'm unable to offer boarding services. However, I'd be happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Since my MBA program starts in mid-August and all my classes are in the evenings, I currently have a flexible schedule during the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time to new opportunities, projects, or commitments without scheduling conflicts. I’m available throughout the daytime and can easily adapt to different time zones or urgent tasks while attending evening classes. I currently rent my home and am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I am happy to provide loving and attentive pet care by visiting your home for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, and I’m dedicated to making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
