Dog Walking Northfield

“Michele did a wonderful job taking care of my Boston Terrier Phoebe. She is detail oriented and maintained communication with me each day so I would know how their walks went and what they had done. I would not hesitate to have Michele again and truly appreciate her attentive care!”

About: I've been taking care of my rescue dog Elliot for over 6 years now. Recently, I've started volunteering at the local humane society, helping socialize the animals and allowing them to become more comfortable around humans to prepare for adoption. I recently moved back to New Jersey to help out my parents with some medical issues, so I am currently available to look after your pets full-time! I always like to be as slow and gentle as possible to let the pets get comfortable approaching me first. My dog was very anxious when I first adopted home at the rescue, so I understand the importance of letting your pet feel comfortable and keeping them from being overwhelmed.

About: I have worked with animals at a boarding facility and then transferred to two veterinary hospital as a technician assistant and training tech. I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.

About: I've been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years now. I absolutely love to hang out with your pets! Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets in every way. I have plenty of reviews and references to provide. I am currently working part time, but I have a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends for drop ins and dog walking. :) Though, I do not offer in home pet sitting, I am 100% capable to provide the love and attention your pets need in your own home. I have had dogs, cats, reptiles, and many other pets in my 30 years of living. I am comfortable in any situation and have worked with plenty of different attitudes our pets show us. Good and bad! I no longer offer overnight visits, but I offer drop ins and short term visits.

“Logan is very sweet! She was on time and didn’t just take our girl for a walk and then leave. She spent some extra time with her and we appreciated that very much!”

About: Over the years, I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of dogs. Each experience has taught me valuable lessons in responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing proper nutrition, exercise, and affection. Whether it's scheduling regular vet visits, grooming sessions, or simply spending quality time playing and bonding with them, I've found joy in ensuring their well-being and happiness. Each dog has its own unique personality and needs, making every caregiving experience both rewarding and educational. I currently work as a virtual full time speech therapist in the school setting which allows me to work from home and gives me the ability to care for animals even while I’m working. I am available any day of the week or on weekends. Caring for pets in both my own home and clients' homes involves several responsibilities. Firstly, I ensure their environment is safe, clean, and suitable for the pet. This includes providing comfortable bedding, fresh water, and a balanced diet tailored to their nutritional requirements. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are crucial, so I schedule playtime and walks as needed. Most importantly, I strive to create a loving and supportive environment where pets feel secure and cared for, fostering a strong bond based on trust and companionship.
