Dog Walking Pluckemin

“Lauren did an excellent job adapting to our Dog as he didn't want to go for a walk in the cold. So he had a quick bathroom break and some cuddles on the couch!”

About: Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’ve spent years around dogs and other pets, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and any animal of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies that need lots of exercise to older dogs that prefer slower walks and extra care. I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Currently work part time at nights and weekends predominantly so I have morning/daytime availablility during the week while you are at work! Can also do overnights any day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always follow each pet’s routine, care instructions, and any special needs provided by the owner to make sure they feel secure and well cared for. I maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Whether it’s during a walk, a drop in visit, or extended care, I always keep a close eye on pets and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and any changes in mood or energy so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I also make sure pets have fresh water, proper feeding, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of affection. Communication is very important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and messages to keep owners informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy experience where both pets and their owners feel completely at ease.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I truly treat every pup like family. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves playtime and long walks or a senior who prefers a slower pace and extra snuggles, I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and making sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and completely at home while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and walks, and I structure my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of interaction and affection. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a calm, cozy environment where they’re free to relax, play, and feel comfortable. All outdoor time is fully supervised and on-leash to ensure safety at all times. Walks, potty breaks, and fresh air are built into the daily routine. I also have a friendly dog at home who genuinely loves the company of other dogs. I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and monitor interactions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pup prefers space or slower socialization, I can easily adjust to meet their needs. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite habits — so they feel secure in their own environment. My goal in any setting is to provide loving, attentive care where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

“Marc was great with our dog Penny. After just a meet and greet and one walk, she was so excited to see him the third time you would think he was part of our family. Also, I like the detailed feedback he gives about how she does on walks.”

About: a dog owner myself and living in an area surrounded by owners who I’ve helped over the years to take care either walk, stay over night, or just a cuddle buddy, I’ve worked from puppies all the way to senior puppies I work full time but my hours vary each day so I know what days work better and will be able to help anyone whenever requests assistance for their loving furry friend my dog is trained off leash, but I don’t have a fenced backyard I love at a dead end so I have a lot of space to run around if need but a big area in neighborhood for walks to the park or just in town.

“Rachel is professional and reliable. Great with our dog and great with communicating.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both my own dog and others’ pets. I have a Yorkie-Bichon mix named Frankie, and taking care of her has taught me how important patience, routine, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I love dogs, cats (even though I’m allergic! 🥲), rabbits (especially my friend’s whose name is Cosito), and really all animals. You can trust that I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree and am currently doing more schooling by completing nursing prerequisites. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because it allows me to do something I genuinely love while continuing my education. My classes are Monday through Wednesday in the mornings, so I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I do understand every pet is different, so I’ll be patient and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I will always send pictures as well!

“Kristina has been there for me and my pup a few times now and has been awesome. Completely reliable and a true dog lover. Goes above and beyond bringing in packages and letting me know when my fish tank alarm started beeping. I have had to be away from home a lot recently and it’s been easier to do knowing Kristina was looking after my dog.”

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I currently have a very free schedule, as I am in the summer before I start law school (I am trying to relax as much as possible before). When I begin my studies at the end of August, I will be available on weekends for boarding requests. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.
