Dog Walking Pequannock

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 mid-day walking blocks (11 AM – 3 PM) and evening check-ins to ensure consistency. 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.

She truly understands my older dog, who tends to bark a lot, and handles it with such care and understanding. Patty is very responsible, and I always feel at ease knowing my dogs are in great hands. Highly recommend her services!”

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.

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 became a dog mom 2 years ago but I’ve always been a dog and just animal lover my whole life and I’ve also volunteered in animal shelters. My fur baby, Kiera, is a pitbull that we rescued 2 years ago. and shes the biggest mush. I love her dearly and she makes every day so much brighter I’m currently home full-time with my daughter, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always show respect and responsibility when entering someone else’s home to care or walk their babies because I know I would like the same if someone was taking care of my fur baby

“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 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.

“Reliable, sweet, concerned, and a great communicator!”

“Giselle is so kind and friendly, Kyrie loves walking with her! Communication is always great and she keeps me up to date. I know Kyrie is always looking forward to seeing her! Thanks so much, Giselle!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give lots of love to their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I currently work part-time and am also a full-time student, so I’m available on weekends only, from 7am–7pm, for dog walking. I love spending time outdoors and making sure every walk is safe, fun, and full of care and attention. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new friends. I always supervise playtime and can crate your dog if needed. I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure.

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

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.

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! During the summer, I work-part time, leaving a lot of room for your pets! I am available during the week and weekends for things like boarding and walking. When I am on-campus at Rutgers University, 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!
