“Vanessa was a pleasure to work with. Our dog, Gretel, loved her. She took her on multiple walks a day for us and Gretel was so excited to see her each time. She was super easy to work with and made scheduling so easy. Highly recommend her and would book again in a second.”

“I am so grateful to have had Lauren come and spend time with my pup over the past month. Lauren was very patient with Sally and did not hesitate to give her tons of love. I appreciate Lauren’s flexibility with her scheduling, her honesty and communication and the fact that she was always there for Sally at the exact time she said she would be.”

She is very diligent and careful when it comes to following particular rules.

14. Sumaira K.
About: I'm a kind & attentive pet lover! Quick learner, patient, and dedicated to providing safe, loving care for your furry friend. I bring enthusiasm and reliability from having two of my own furry pets, taking care of them, babies, and my neighbor's dog here and there from a young age! My schedule is pretty open so I am flexible for most weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings. Weekends I can do afternoons and evenings. Hit me up and I'm sure we can work something out! I have a fenced backyard but I prefer to do drop-ins/check-ins for your pet, and will do pet walking at your convenience. I can offer more clarity/details if you hit me up with what your needs are!


15. Julia P.
“Julia is the most amazing pet caregiver!!!, she is so responsible, caring, loving and trustful. She helped me a lot with my 2 dogs, making sure they're safe and in great hands. Very recommended for any occasion.”




16. Trisha L.

“Trisha is absolutely wonderful! My 3 dogs (a pit bull, Ridgeback and chihuahua) loved her instantly. I never had someone else care for my dogs as long as I've had them so I was a bit nervous but Trisha made me feel so comfortable. I work 12 hour days and my husband left the country for a month and I would have been lost without her! 5 days a week at noon and she was always in time and sent photos! She took the time to give one of my dogs (who had to be put to sleep that month) so much extra love and attention because I couldn't be there. I thought I had to make the decision alone but she was there to help me through it, comfort me and check up on me. She goes above and beyond for her clients and their babies. She's the best!”


17. Daniela A.
About: I have been an avid animal lover since I received my first puppy as a child. I taught my beloved spaniel how to sit and lay down, and he taught me patience and responsibility. I cared for him until he sadly left us at 17 years old. My experience taught me that our fur babies are here for such a short time, and they deserve the absolute best we can give them. I have extended this mindset into my care of several other pets throughout my life including my four cats and bonus fur babies that I pet sit. My current clients range from small to large breed dogs. I have gained extensive experience with senior pets and the special needs that come with them as well as pets with medical needs. As a college student working part time, I hope to expand my business and do what I love full time. I currently work 9-5 part-time, leaving me with plenty of free time including weekends. I am flexible in my schedule and availability, and always strive to provide pets in my care with as much attention and care as they would receive in their homes. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of indoor space. I have four friendly cats of my own but available space to keep pets in my care separate in the case that they are less then enthusiastic about cats. I offer in house pet sitting as well to those who prefer their fur babies to remain in their own environment. I have a valid NJ Driver's license and a reliable vehicle large enough to transport big breeds. Additionally I have plenty of experience administering medications and treatments safely.

“Nicole did a great job with my dog and would definately use her again!”




19. Alexis M.

“Here’s a humorous and heartfelt review for your dog walker: If you’re looking for a dog walker who is part superhero, part dog whisperer, look no further! My five-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, who I affectionately call “the gentle giant,” has never met someone quite like [Dog Walker’s Name]. From the moment they met, it was clear my dog had found his new best friend. [Dog Walker’s Name] approached him with a calmness that could tame even the wildest of beasts (or, in our case, a stubborn yet lovable loaf of a dog). I half expected them to break into a duet of “Kumbaya” during their walks. Not only is Alexis gentle and kind, but their patience is rivaled only by a saint. My dog has a tendency to act like he’s auditioning for “The Amazing Race” whenever he spots a squirrel, and yet Dog Allergies Alexis handled it like a pro, managing to keep him focused and moving forward without losing their cool or their sense of humor. Every time I come home, my dog is happy, well-exercised, and oddly, a bit more refined. I’m convinced he’s taking etiquette lessons with Alexis. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pup like royalty, look no further. I can’t recommend Alexis enough. They’re simply pawsome!”


20. Karla T.
“Karla was a top-notch sitter for my elder dog, Diana. She treated her like her own dog. She has to take medicine and took special care. She is so loving and attentive-would recommend her to anyone!”
