About: I’m the owner of Happy Tails, a local dog walking and pet care business serving Long Branch and nearby Monmouth County neighborhoods. I’m also a backup dog walker for another pet care company, which has given me hands-on experience with different dogs, routines, homes, and owner preferences. I speak English and Spanish, and I care about being reliable, communicative, and gentle with every pet I’m trusted with. Pet care is part of my regular weekly work because I own Happy Tails, my local dog walking and pet care business. When I’m not already booked with Happy Tails clients or backup walks for another pet care company, I’m typically available Monday 1–5 PM, Tuesday 9 AM–5 PM, Wednesday 1–5 PM, Thursday 1–5 PM, and Friday 9 AM–5 PM. I keep my schedule organized so I can give each pet reliable, focused care without overbooking myself. For Rover, I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits only, so I care for pets in their own home and neighborhood, not in my home. I follow each client’s instructions closely, including leash and harness preferences, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I prioritize safety, trust, and communication, and I’m careful to leave the home secure and the pet calm, happy, and cared for.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years now! My top priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m an illustration major at Fashion Institute of Technology but currently on break. I used to dog sit for repeat clients in my neighborhood full time! My priority is always to give your pet a safe environment to play and rest. I make sure to stay attentive but give them enough space if they’re uncomfortable around new people/places.
“Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊”
“Cristy was very thorough in her notes and sent lots of photos! Zachary can be shy so the fact he enjoyed spending time with her says it all. We both highly approve and will rebook with Cristy next time I’m away!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and my love for them is immense. I’ve raised 3 dogs from puppies of all different breeds.

About: My name is Alexis. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and caring for pets is something that truly makes me happy. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk, sit, and love their pets, and I always treat each one like they’re part of my own family. I do volunteer work three times a week and work from home. My day can be filled with caring for pets due to my free time and ability to make my own schedule. I have an apartment in a community with a fenced yard and it’s pet friendly. My apartment is large and I have lots of toys to play with.

About: I'm Michael, your premier local dog walker! Serving the local Two Rivers area and adjacent towns, I provide both dog walking and pet drop in visits that can be scheduled on a consistent or as needed basis. Services can be tailored to the needs of pets and owners alike. Walks are a happy and healthy way to give your pet a bit of exercise and social interaction! 30 minute walks (or longer) can be around your local neighborhood or a nearby park, wherever your dog is most comfortable. If a walk is not the right fit for your dog, a drop-in visit is a great option to provide your pet with some human companionship (potty break and some treats too!). All sizes and breeds are welcome! I have experience with pets of all kinds, including horses! My goal is to provide a relaxed and happy experience for both pet and owner. I offer flexible hours for convenience. Please contact me with any questions or requests! **Have an open and flexible schedule for your needs **I will take time to walk your pet for at least 30 minutes or more upon request I will make sure your cinnabuns get some exercise and everything else they need from being out and about on their walks all while being safe!
About: I have hands on experience walking dogs through caring for my own dog, a German Shepherd, as well as regularly helping walk dogs in my neighborhood. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need while keeping them safe and happy on every walk. As a hairstylist, I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to creating and managing my own schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs and be available at different times throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, and dog walking is a great way for me to spend time doing something I genuinely love while helping pet owners ensure their dogs receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own German Shepherd and walking dogs in my neighborhood. I always ensure dogs are safely leashed, closely supervised, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I understand that every dog is unique, and I will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of responsibility I would give my own.

Simply amazing! My pups are always well taken care of and best of all, they're comfortable with Max! I'm always updated and told of any issues that may arise, and as someone who travels a lot for work, I feel very comfortable knowing that they are being taken care of appropriately and lovingly.
Meghan was an EXCELLENT dog sitter for my senior Frenchie! She was incredibly communicative and made sure to follow all of Lucie’s care needs, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lucie was smiling in every picture she sent (it was clear she felt happy and comfortable!). I’ll absolutely be booking with Meghan again - it was such a relief knowing Lucie was in such great hands while I was away.
Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊
Nicole was amazing! I’m so excited to have found such a wonderful caretaker for my dog. Her communication was quick and friendly, and my dog clearly loved her immediately. Nicole sent videos and photos - and made me feel so at ease leaving my dog in her caring hands. I can’t wait to use her again!
