Matt has been great walking our dog Ziva. She looks so happy in all the pictures he sends. He's even brought our trash bins back to the house on trash pick up days - so thoughtful! We get great communication with each walk. I definitely recommend him for dog walking!

About: I deeply enjoy caring for dogs as I grew up with them throughout my childhood! Neighbors and family frequently confide in me to care for their pets, and I currently care for a guinea pig. I’m home from college and I have plenty of time and wide availability to take care of your pets. I have no problem fitting them into my daily schedule. I make sure pets receive what they need from my service, whether that be food, play, treats or outdoor time. I make sure they get the attention and love they deserve.

Kim is absolutely wonderful, I can’t recommend her enough! She is flexible, conscientious, kind, and really cared about my quirky dog. Her communication and updates are excellent. She is incredibly reliable and I never worried about Daisy for a second while Kim was taking care of her (and I worry about everything). I was always confident that Daisy would be safe and happy, because Kim goes above and beyond to ensure that. When my dog hurt her back a day before a housesitting visit and required meds, Kim was unfazed and helped Daisy make a full recovery. She also takes the best pictures, which were such a treat to get while I was out!

About: Hi, this is Connie! I literally grew up with dogs and have 13+ years of experience caring for them. Not only do I treat pets like family, but I firmly believe they are family. I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and cater to each one. Your pup will feel loved, safe, and happy with me. I’m a freelancer, currently working from home in Princeton, NJ. Pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine, no matter the time of day! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break or an afternoon play session, I’m always available and flexible. I’ll treat your furry friend’s schedule like my own priority. Safety always comes first for me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure, just like at home. When I'm at your place, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. When your pup stays with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe, and fun place. No messy surprises, no rushing, just genuine love, patience, and a little wagging-tail guarantee.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years and have helped care for senior pets, as well as friends’ and family’s dogs and cats. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Dogs are my absolute favorite. I’m a college student at Rutgers and currently on a long break, so I’m around for most of it and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. At home, I care for my own 5-year-old Cockapoo who is shy, so I’m very attentive to each pet’s comfort level and needs. I keep a clean, safe space and can crate dogs if needed to make sure everyone feels secure.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been the one in my family responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with them. I have also pet-sat for my neighbors’ dogs and recently helped take care of a friend’s Golden Retriever, where I walked, fed, and played with her regularly. In addition, I volunteered for two summers at my local pet shelter, where I cleaned cat areas and spent time playing and socializing with the cats. I currently have a black lab at my parents’ house while I attend college. Overall, I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am a college student on summer break with full availability, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am available Monday through Sunday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am not offering services where pets stay in my home.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have spent time with puppies right out of the womb and old dogs in their last years (and every age in between). I am excited to give your dog the love and care that they deserve. :) I currently work part-time. At most, I will be leaving your dog 4-5 hours at a time, but often, I can be with them all day. Reach out, and we can see what kind of care your dog needs! I will always want to work with your plan for keeping your pet safe, since you know them best. Your dog will be well-loved and cared for with me.

We couldn't be happier with Mr. Hong! He kindly stopped by to meet our dog, Sengay, before the booked dates to make sure it was a good fit, and they instantly connected. He gave us complete peace of mind by sending wonderful pictures while they were out walking and after getting Sengay safely back inside. I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again
