Dog Walking Pequannock

“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've helped take care of friends and families pets throughout my life. While I have no pets of my own due to my living space, I can't wait to meet your fur babies and add them to my list of friends! Before transitioning to independent pet care, I spent years working as a Seafood Manager. In that role, I was directly responsible for strict food safety protocols, meticulous sanitation, and managing high-stakes daily operations. I bring that exact same level of professional detail, reliability, and cleanliness into your home. You can trust that your pet's medication schedules, dietary restrictions, and safety protocols will be followed precisely. Dedicated Time Blocks: I structure my schedule around dedicated morning to mid-day walking blocks (8 AM – 3 PM) and evening check-ins to ensure consistency. I am available for other times depending on the day as well. Punctuality First: As a former manager, I view schedules as strict commitments. Your pets will be fed, walked, and checked on at their exact scheduled times .Overnight Consistency: For house-sitting clients, I maintain a reliable presence in your home, aligning my routine with your pet’s natural sleep and wake cycles. Required Meet & Greets: I schedule a brief, mandatory introductory meeting before confirming any booking to ensure your timeline fits perfectly with my availability. My Safety & Care Protocols: For Your Dogs: Secure Equipment Checks: I double-check collars, harnesses, and leashes before stepping outside. I never allow off-leash play in unsecured areas. Behavior Awareness: I maintain high alertness on walks to avoid strange dogs, hazards, or triggers. For Your Cats: Visual Verification: I never leave a home without physically spotting your cat in their preferred zone to guarantee they are safe. Respectful Interaction: I let shy or independent cats set the pace, never forcing interaction or causing stress. Home & Trust Management: Manager-Level Cleanliness: I keep feeding stations pristine, wash food bowls daily, and strictly manage trash and litter box sanitation. Secure Lockups: I follow entry, alarm, and key management instructions flawlessly to protect your home. Real-Time Transparency: You will receive clear photo updates and a detailed status summary text during every single booking.

“Any words of praise I leave for Giselle are nowhere near enough! She is reliable, responsive and flexible. She is so great with my dog - managing his energy, and getting him to cooperate. She is caring and kind, and really wants to connect with the pet and the pet parent. My dog always comes back from walks with her tired and ready for a long nap. He's so excited to see her every single time! I trust Giselle completely - she's even taken my dog out and had access to my house when I wasn't home. Highly recommend her.”

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Since my childhood I've taken care of all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to fish and hermit crabs. As a current English Bulldog owner, I have experience across the spectrum from energetic dogs to more relaxed breeds. I've raised my own pets since puppyhood (just 8 weeks old!) and enjoy training through this stage, including all of its cuteness and rowdiness! Family often depends on me for dog-sitting and spending time with their pets, as I love to engage with all pets through play and staying active. I love getting to know new animals and cherishing their individual personalities! I am currently a part-time student in college, leaving a lot of room for your pets! I am available during the week and weekends for things like boarding and walking. I find myself available throughout the week between my class schedule for dog walking and drop-ins. Playing with dogs is the perfect de-stressor between classes! I am much more available during the weekends for pet-sitting. I would love to spend my free time with your pups! I have experience with many different breeds of both dogs and cats, ensuring a safe environment for your pets. I understand I will be entering their space and will always make sure they are the most comfortable first!

“Ellen was wonderful and walked my Ruby twice. Once when she was a bit under the weather. She followed instructions great and Ruby loved her. Will def use again and recommend her highly”

About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for dogs with ongoing training plans and followed owner instructions very closely to maintain consistency while they were away. As a nurse, I work three days per week, which gives me a flexible schedule on my days off. While my shifts may vary from week to week, this actually allows me to be adaptable and available on different days for pet care. For dogs, I prioritize safe walks, positive reinforcement, and maintaining any leash manners or training expectations provided by the owner. I also provide regular updates so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as seamless and stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner!

About: I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and needs. I work from home, which gives me flexibility for daytime walks, drop-ins, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m comfortable administering oral medication and will keep you updated with photos and detailed notes while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, meals, medication, and companionship throughout the day. I can often accommodate daytime and evening visits and will follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep pets on the routines they know. I pay attention to feeding, medications, doors and gates, leash safety, and any behavioral or medical needs you share with me. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“I would highly recommend Christine! She was able to handle caring for our high-energy and quirky dog, Titus. I felt at ease seeing pictures of him so happy. Tituts loved her, and I will 100% book Christine in the future.”

About: I’ve always been patient and empathetic with animals. I love meeting dogs and cats, caring for them and making them happy. My family dog passed away this year at the age of 16-17. I have a cat. I can be available in the evening/night between 5pm and 8am, and in the morning before 8am. I can’t have other animals in my home because I have a cat. I can’t have other animals in my home due to my two cats, but I’m very respectful of other people’s homes. I never leave the house without making sure my cats are fed or have someone available to check on them if I will be gone for more than a few hours.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.

“Nice and calm personality which suits our two nuts well. Prompt and thorough.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! 🐶 I currently have three dogs of my own and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my beloved senior dog who lived to be 17 years old. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how different each dog can be, from energetic pups who love to play and explore to older dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and care.

When caring for pets in their home, my priority is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, exercise routine, and any house rules their family has in place. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave things clean and just as I found them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!

“Britany, Has been walking my 4-5 month old puppy for the last couple of weeks and we have been very happy with her services. For our meet& greet she asked about our pups routines, commands our pup knows, and how he should be rewarded. She has been reliable and Rider really enjoys her visits.”

About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

“Samantha was wonderful and patient with my very timid dog. She was also communicative letting my know how the visit was going which put my mind at ease.”
