Dog Walkers in Polhemustown, NJ

About: First and foremost, I love our furry little friends! I have a beautiful 4.5 year old Bluetick Coonhound/German Shepard mix named Scarlet & she is the love of my life. We love relaxing & snuggling together, walking, running, playing with a soccer ball & of course she loves being chased around with her toy. She is well trained unless she’s being her stubborn hound self! I also grew up with 3 cats and a Beagle/Chihuahua mix, which was my first dog at 17. Even at that age I would take her on walks in the park or neighborhood, plays games with her & give her all the love she wanted. She was a feisty one with medicating but she trusted me the most in doing it. I’ve worked at an animal clinic for over 8 years. I am well trained with medicating pets, senior pets & nervous/anxious pets. Even though my days during the week are filled with meeting new dogs/cats or seeing my favorite patients, there’s always room for more love to give! I work full time during the week at the animal hospital (Monday-Thursday) but I am available on weekends for those that work or have plans :) I make sure the pet’s collar/leash are well secured on them so there is no chance for them to get loose while on a walk. I will make sure all gates are closed. As part of being a vet tech I am trained in trimming nails & expressing anal glands, as well as knowing if there is an issue that needs to be addressed by a doctor. If your pet has any specific medical, food or behavioral needs I am very experienced to assist! :)

“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: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that. Any other questions about me are always welcome:) I am currently home and available at all times! I pick up my kiddos from school at 3 and we are ready to help your furry friends with any of their needs! I have two friendly dogs who love company and two kids to help get their energy out we live on 5.5 acres and love to go for leashed walks along the property!

About: Over the past year or so I have put together my love for walking with dogs. I began walking at a local rescue a few days during the week and then began taking on other dogs in my neighborhood. I also have started drop in visits to help care for pets while their parents are out of town. I have taken care of dogs, cats and even a fish. I am open to helping you with whatever you may need help with. I have had dogs all my life and I have recently added a fun love very playful puppy named Pippy to our household. She is an amazing toy doodle. We do walks daily and work on her obedience training throughout the week. She is doing great for her age. I’m a stay at home mom of two boys and a playful pup named Pippy. My days are currently free during the week ,so I can offer dog walking and mid day doggie breaks. I can also offer drop in visits for pets that are lower maintenance and don’t need constant eyes on them during the day. I am very flexible and would love to help if I can. Please don’t hesitate to ask me! If I can I will. I will care for your pets like I would care for my own. I will give them lots of love and affection with safety being number 1. I am very careful to follow all the owners need and wants when caring for their pets. I love sharing updates and picture with the owners on my visits. I take pride in my work and make sure I am on time for every job. I am careful to lock up behind me and make sure the pets are secure before leaving them. I am very respectful of people’s home and property as well.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid. There has always been a pet in my house while growing up. My family has relied on me to feed and play with the pets while they were away. I additionally have experience in caring for both young and senior pets. I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most days except for Thursdays and Saturday nights. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate if needed :) I currently have one cat in my home. I feed him, give him affection and play with him everyday. We also have a dog that comes to visit us sometimes, so my cat is friendly with other dogs!

About: As an Air Force veteran with over 6 years of service, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail into every pet care experience. I’ve had dogs my entire life and also have experience caring for cats, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I regularly dog and cat sit for my spouse’s coworkers, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures, including administering medication twice a day, so I’m comfortable following special care instructions and keeping a close eye on pets who may need extra attention or medical support. I am a full-time online student, which means I’ll be home throughout the day and able to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I have a fenced-in yard for supervised playtime and exercise, along with two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with respect and care.

“On very short notice, Boryana was able to step in, take the time to meet me and Yoda before walking and feeding Yoda. She was fantastic! I would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”

“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!”
