Dog Walkers in Oakland, NJ

“Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.”

About: I truly treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be loved, included, and cared for in a calm, structured home environment. I have a sweet 2 year old Cavapoo who is extremely friendly and loves having company. She’s gentle, playful, and great at helping other dogs feel comfortable and welcome. If your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have a built in bestie. If they prefer their space, I’m very attentive to personalities and make sure every dog feels safe and respected. I’m big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible- feeding schedules, walks, crate time, and playtime. Above all, I provide a loving, dependable, and peaceful environment where your dog can relax and feel at home ! :) Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine. I have a 2 year old Cavapoo, so my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, and structured care. I take my dog on multiple walks throughout the day, so any pup staying with me will be included in regular exercise and outdoor time. I work my schedule around the dogs in my care to make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. I’m very consistent with feeding times, potty breaks, and activity, and I genuinely enjoy building my day around their needs. Because this is something I already prioritize every single day, adding another dog into our routine feels seamless, and they will become part of our little pack and get plenty of attention, movement, and love. I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and instructions, and I take multiple walks a day so your pup will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully monitor interactions at all times. If needed, I can crate my dog or your dog to give them space, maintain routine, or ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure.

About: I have 7 years of pet experience, aside from owning pets my entire life. i regularly took care of my neighbors 6 dogs (5 small, 1 medium) while she would go on work trips or vacation. I also had another neighbor who had a larger dog that I would walk and bathe. I have owned a wide variety of pets including dogs, rabbit, hermit crabs, cats and hamsters. I am a huge animal lover and will make any of the necessary accommodations for your pet! I am a college student who has a lot of free time to spend with your furry friend. When i’m not at school i am usually spending time with my 2 dogs, taking them on walks, hikes, swimming, etc. I get so much gratification from seeing a happy pet! I am a college student who works part time who has plenty of spare time to walk/babysit dogs. i am a huge animal lover and it always brings me so much joy to see a happy pet! Depending on what the owner tells me, i will either let the dog into the backyard or walk them, and follow any feeding/grooming instructions they give me.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up my family and I have adopted 3 dogs. I absolutely love working with dogs - big, small, old, hyper, I’m your gal! I have a couple years of experience working at a doggy day care as well as some dog bathing services. I’m a junior currently attending Ramapo College. I commute to class and am available for multiple days a week. I’m usually always available on the weekends! I have a fenced yard for my dog but she is not the friendliest. I tend to bring her to the dog park where she gets along with other dogs in a bigger/more open area.

“Amber has been great with weekly walks for our large but nervous dog. She has been patient and let him warm up at his own pace with lots of feedback as to how he’s doing from day to day. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”

About: I've walked dogs (both my own and friends/customers) for the last few years. I've also previously owned my own dog for a few years. I'm able to keep your pups healthy, happy and well cared for while you are away. I am happy to provide walks, brush their hair, maintain routines, administer medication and feed. I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own. I work full-time in Soho and have a pretty flexible schedule. Although I don't have the same days off every week, I will update my schedule on the app accordingly. I have a fenced porch and live in a duplex apartment. I do have a cat in the apartment but she is timid and typically stays to herself. There are lots of parks nearby for dogs to play or be walked in.

About: Even before I owned a dog at 10, I walked and took care of many puppies and older dogs. I trained my own dog, as we attended classes and taught him as if he is a person. I still continue to walk, feed, and take care of my friends/neighbors dogs as well as my own. I enjoy exercising, so I love walking and running with dogs, such as playing fetch. I love going to dog parks and having them interact with other dog, and I will be home all summer, so I could do that. I ensure that the pets do not eat any people food and have water at all times and food at appropriate times. Having my home clean and organized is key when caring for pets.

About: My experience with pet sitting goes beyond just having my own. I have been watching other people's pets since I was a teenager and I am great with all dogs. I have my own dog so it's just part of my day. My daily routine includes walking feeding, playing and letting him roam free in the yard. I have a fenced in yard so pets can run free. I also enjoy going on long walks. Making sure my dog is well groomed is a big deal. He always smells good, nails are trimmed and fur I'd brushed/blown out.

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals all my life. I've had cats dogs ferrets even a chicken once. As long as your baby is friendly I am happy to feed and play with your baby. I'm also comfortable cleaning out the cats litter box. I do have a full-time job but I'm available in the morning before work.

About: I have had pets for 29 years and have taken care of them at all stages of their lives. I view my own pets as members of the family and would treat yours the same. I am currently a stay at home dad and have the ability and flexibility to help with your pets anytime of day. I am typically up at or before 8am and don’t settle in till 8pm I can come to your home where your animals are comfortable and make sure they get the care they need and take them on walks with path so they are not in the road.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also dog‑sat for friends and family giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play breaks, feeding and keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort. I build my work schedule around their needs so they get consistent attention and companionship instead of long stretches alone. Whether it’s a midday walk, extra snuggles or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to give them steady, reliable care all week long. I have a quiet, calm and pet‑friendly home that’s perfect for animals who enjoy a peaceful environment. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog gets my full attention and a stress‑free space with no competition for affection. I keep my home clean, safe and comfortable and I have a deck where pets can relax outside, enjoy some fresh air and soak up the sun.
