Dog Walkers in Polhemustown, NJ

“Wow - I cannot thank Boryana enough for all of her patience and professionalism! She was the first dog walker we EVER hired for our dog. With two young kids and both working parents it was becoming increasingly difficult to take our dog out on all his needed walks. I must admit we were super nervous about getting someone else to walk our dog because he does not do well with strangers. Boryana made sure to take it step by step every day to the point that our dog got so comfortable with her and was looking forward to his walks with her! She was always punctual and very communicative. Thank you Boryana!!”

About: I have taken care of 2 yellow labs in the past. I currently have a bunny who I take care of as well. I love animals and believe that they need to be cared for greatly. I'm currently working part time so I have time to care for and bond with animals! I'm available for walks/check ins Monday through Friday mid morning, afternoon, and evening, and Saturday and Sunday at any time. I make sure that the pets are loved and are appropriately fed. They also need their exercise so I make sure that they spend time outside.

“Our dog loves the time he spends with Michaela. She happily accommodates our requests to extend each visit to allow time for play and a feeding on top of a walk. She sends photos and updates which puts us at ease. Michaela is flexible and responds quickly - both of which we appreciate so much when planning care for our dog! Would absolutely recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Jackie and I am an avid pet lover! I am a retired HR Manager of 37 years and am strictly confidential and trustworthy! I currently have 4 Yorkies, 1 cat and 3 horses! Over the past 2 years I have cared for family and friends fur babies and realized this is something I love doing! Two of my prior dogs were rescues as well as my horses and cat. I have recently rehabilitated my first horse Mochi! I promise to care for your fur babies as if they were my own! If you feel I would be a good fit, please feel free to contact me! I am recently retired and am looking to start a new career with Rover! My schedule is currently open and I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I will follow your instructions and directions as requested, and I ask for your veterinarian's office telephone number and an emergency number to reach you, if needed.

About: I have experience with all-size pups. I grew up with dogs, and we had an amazingly well-mannered German Shepherd and 2 lovely cats. Sadly, they all passed away, and we are ready to love on your pets <3 I’m a housewife and graduate student. So, I’m always home with the pups! I am also a certified pet nutritionist, and I have experience working in a pet store. We send pictures, videos, and daily updates so you know how your fur baby is doing throughout the day :) My husband Kevin and I work as a team! I am always home and can easily care for your pup’s needs throughout the day! We can take walks, go out, and cuddle all day. For drop-in visits, my husband Kevin and I either visit together or either one of us goes to walk/check in on your baby :) We have a fenced in yard to get all the zoomies out and still go for walks for extra exercise and exploration. We only take one family at a time to ensure safety and maximum cuddles!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My experience includes puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and anxious rescues. I’m comfortable with medication administration and have cared for pets during extended vacations. As a computer science college student, I’m detail-oriented and send regular photo updates to give owners peace of mind. I’m currently working flexible hours as a college student and have plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate morning walks, midday visits, evening walks, and weekend care. During the school year, I’m especially available afternoons and weekends. I understand pets thrive on routine and am committed to maintaining consistent care schedules. I prioritize pet safety above all else. In my home, I maintain a secure, pet-proofed environment with gates and safe spaces. At client homes, I follow all specific instructions and house rules carefully. I ensure doors and gates stay locked, provide fresh water, and never leave pets unattended outside. I send regular photo updates so owners feel connected and confident. My background includes experience with anxious pets and special needs animals. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. Emergency vet contact information is always accessible, and I maintain open communication with owners throughout their time away.

“Alyson was very prompt and communicative! I really appreciated the detailed summaries after each walk! She did well keeping an eye out for other dogs on their walks as my pup gets a bit anxious around other dogs. Would highly recommend her!”

About: A calm, patient, and playful "pack leader" with a lifetime of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, energy levels, ages (puppies to seniors), and temperaments. I currently work part-time (usually mornings starting at 5 am) and am available for walks and play with your dog most afternoons, some mornings (work schedule varies week-to-week so always be sure to check if I may be available) and early evenings. Walks are tailored to fit your dog's needs, energy level, and enjoyment. Fun and exercise (and, of course, a potty break) is the goal for every one of your dog's walks with me. Whether your dog is "all business" or likes to linger outside and play a bit, I will get to know their needs and plan our time accordingly. As needed, arrangements can be made for additional care (feedings, medicine administration, etc.). If it would make your dog enjoy it more, I can even bring one of my dogs along to join in the fun!

About: I have had cats and cared for them all my life. I have also had horses. I have cared for friends pets when they were away. I am reliable and trustworthy. I have experience with pet medications. I currently work part time on a farm until the end of the fall season. I have flexible hours and in the fall I have even more available time. I have 2 indoor cats and an outdoor Koi pond. I feed and groom the cats and maintain a healthy pond.I previously owned 2 horses and tended to their feeding and grooming and medication needs. My hours are flexible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with special needs dogs for about 7 years and am experienced and handling and giving medication. I work at dog daycare when I’m at college and looking for a way to continue my love for animals when I’m home. I am currently not working any job and taking online summer course for college so I have 100% open availability and can come at any time. I don’t have a fenced yard but access to a park near by. I have 1 dog if your dog enjoys company. I also have 2 houses so if you have a more independent dog I can provide a space where they can be alone with no other animals

“Ashley did phenomenal and went above and beyond when I needed someone in rather short notice. She always kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures of my pup while I was away. She is able to easily establish a great connection with animals. You can tell she has a genuine compassion and love for animals, especially when they are apart from their owner. Ashley is very professional, friendly, and skillful at caring for animals. Despite having a prior engagement to attend a wedding, she came back afterwards late at night to care for my dog when my flight was delayed. I highly recommend Ashley as she is an excellent care giver.”

“Krystal was really worderful with Rosie. Krystal follows instructions as to Rosie's care. Rosie is a night owl so I gave Krystal a window in which she could do their walk. She was on time all the time. If your looking for someone caring for your best friend, you can't go wrong with Krystal!”

About: As a Veterinary Technician I bring clinical expertise and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. That means: • 🩺 Medical support you can trust: Comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injections), monitoring post-op pets, and recognizing early signs of illness. • 🐾 Confidence with senior and special-needs pets: Whether it’s mobility assistance or chronic condition care, I know how to keep them safe and happy. • 🐕 Behavioral insight: Years in the field give me a solid read on animal body language, helping reduce stress and ensure comfort. • 💗 Heart-led care: Beyond the medical side, I’m all about snuggles, enrichment, and respecting your pet’s personality and routine. • 📋 Reliable communication: You’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you always know your pet is in caring, capable hands. 📆 Weekly Rhythm • Flexible Scheduling I plan my bookings so that no pet ever feels rushed or secondary. Overlaps are rare—each furry friend gets full focus. • Routine Health Monitoring As a vet tech, I build in wellness checks throughout the week—subtle changes don’t go unnoticed when you know what to look for. • Updates & Communication I carve out time each day to send photo and video updates to pet parents, because seeing their happy pet in action brings huge peace of mind. • Rest & Reset Time I also schedule downtime—for myself and the pets. Play is fun, but naps and quiet time are just as important for balanced care. When I care for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and respecting the environment they know and love. Here’s how I make sure every stay is smooth, secure, and snuggly: --- 🏡 Respecting Their Space • I follow the pet’s established routines and boundaries to keep their stress low—everything from where they sleep to how they eat. • I make sure to leave the home exactly as I found it (or tidier!), treating it with the same care I’d give my own. 🐾 Prioritizing Pet Safety • As a veterinary technician, I’m trained to notice subtle signs of illness, injury, or stress, and act fast. • I do daily health checks during longer stays, especially for senior pets or those with medical needs. • I double-check doors, fences, and gates during playtime or potty breaks to prevent escape risks. 🔐 Earning Owner Trust • I provide frequent updates with photos and videos, so pet parents feel connected and reassured. • I respect personal property, follow all care instructions, and never bring outside guests without permission. • I’m happy to meet in advance for a “get to know you” session, which helps pets warm up and gives owners peace of mind. ✨ Creating Comfort • Whether it’s playing their favorite playlist, using the same bowl every mealtime, or mimicking a bedtime routine, I adapt my care to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. • I stay calm, kind, and consistent, especially with anxious or reactive animals.
