Madison took extra good care of our Holly. She went above and beyond and even gave Holly a much needed bath. Holly adores Madison and we would highly recommend Madison as a walker, sitter or trainer.

Giving sarah 5 star review is easy. She's prompt and responsive. I was happy to check in our camera system and see her sitting with and attending to my sweet old girl.. she fouled instructions to the tee and left any detailed information on my pooch and what she did at the house.

Daniel has been the best dog walker I have ever had. My girls seem to love him dearly! My dogo argentino is a big girl, and a load of work and he managed everything perfectly with her. One dog is blind and one is deaf and he was amazing with them. Great pictures, amazing updates, went above and beyond. Extremely pleased and will book again moving forward!

About: Hi, Matt here. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is that I understand dog behavior, routines, and needs from real, hands-on experience—not just from reading about it. I’m calm, reliable, and confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they’re high-energy and need exercise or more laid-back and just want companionship. I pay close attention to detail, follow instructions closely, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure owners have complete peace of mind. I’m currently a full-time teacher and will have open availability in the summer time to care for your pets! During the school year I am also available after 3:30 PM on weekdays for any walks, drop ins, etc. I have two dogs on my own and I am focused on safety! Pets will always be secure with a leash while on walks and kept away from other animals walking by. If being let out in the yard I always double check that the fence is secured, and there are no areas where dogs can escape.

I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor.

I will always do my best to make sure your pet feels at home. ❤️ I’m currently staying at home as I’m a retired vet, I do morning drop off to school then I am free to keep your pet company I have a fence yard and a small Yorkie to keep your dog company. I can also crate train if needed if that is preferred

About: A true nature lover I love ALL living things! Yes spiders and snakes too. Especially those who can love back . I've rescued and cared for almost every species. Elder dogs and those with health issues. Medications, injections I'm able to deliver it all. My schedule used to revolve around one of my Yorkies 12 hour insulin schedule. I cooked his meals took him for long walks. He loved the water and we spent long hours at the beach. He recently passed at age 15. I'm now willing to share with other pups who need some care and stimulation. I have a large fenced yard and a pool which one of my dogs and another I sit for loves! My other 2 are couch potatoes and are content to lay in the shade although they do enjoy their walks. We exercise rain or shine

About: Ever since I was little I have been taking care of many animals. I grew up with a cat, and my family adopted a dog five years ago that I helped train! Aside from that, I’ve had chickens, goats, and ducks! I’m a recent college graduate working retail shifts typically at night. I have a flexible schedule and if needed can change things around in order to take care of your pet. Understanding that my presence is different in the pets home, I prioritize making sure they are comfortable with me there and not scared. I aim to make sure they are taken care of and not stressed out in their own home.

About: With hands-on experience from working at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m active, strong, and trained in reading animal body language to ensure safe, patient care. I love providing enrichment and helping nervous pets feel calm and secure. As a devoted pet parent to one dog and two cats, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so my availability is wide open! I love having furry company during the day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Morning, afternoon, or evening — I’m flexible and always happy to make time for extra belly rubs or walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to learn every detail that matters — from quirks and favorite toys to the words and calls they respond to best. I ask plenty of questions upfront so I can follow their routine exactly, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. I respect each pet’s personality, whether that means lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or both. I also treat every home with the same care and respect as my own, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and cared for.

About: I began my dog walking service at a young age and have been handling animals ever since. My experience spans from dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from Boston Terriers, Miniature Pinschers to Pit Bulls and European Dobermans. I am skilled in administering medications, supporting senior dogs including with nerve damage, and caring for animals with severe anxiety or high energy needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to thoughtfully creating a personalized, designed daily experience for every animal—prioritizing safety, structure, their enrichment, and genuine care. I work part time which allows me to fully attend to your pup. i have flexible availability during the week and will gladly work with your schedule as needed. In a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own- keeping it clean, orderly, and aligned with the dog’s familiar routine to ensure comfort and continuity. I maintain a calm, clean and structured environment which provides a close supervised setting tailored to each dog’s needs. I follow all owner instructions precisely, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and behavioral guidelines. Dogs in my care are never left unattended or put near unsafe situations as they are always secured during walks with properly fitted leashes and harnesses. I conduct controlled, mindful walks being awareness of surroundings, other animals, and traffic. For dogs with anxiety, medical conditions, or special needs, I provide gentle handling, quiet spaces, and consistent routines to reduce stress.

About: I have had dogs all my life and absolutely have a soft spot for senior dogs. Currently I have 2 dogs. A Senior Golden Retriever named Skye and a 9 month old Hound-Lab mix named Sonny. Since Sonny is a puppy he pulls on a leash and jumps, I have experience with dogs that have these characteristics. The Dog breeds that I have the most experience with are French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers. I prefer to work with medium/small dog breeds, however, I am open to working with bigger dog breeds as well. I am a full-time student at East Carolina University in North Carolina studying elementary education. I am residing in New Jersey from May 9th- August 10th. My schedule varies throughout the week. However my schedule is flexible and I am able to work with you on times and schedules that fits you and your pets needs. DATES NOT AVALIBLE: I will not be available from May 24th- 29th or through June 6th-13th. All other dates I am available unless changed. I am used to crated dogs and non- crated dogs. I am very experienced in following directions and rules as needed. I also am used to walking dogs every morning and evening if needed. I do ask that there is a list of all animals and how much they eat, what times they are fed, and any special precautions (medicine, eating in separate rooms, different foods, etc.) that are needed for each pet. Lots of playing and petting is to be expected.

About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! I don’t have pets of my own so that I can spend time taking care of so many others. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂
