Dog Walkers in Raritan, NJ

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, and have had the pleasure of taking care of everything from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I was a member of my counties 4-H for 13 years and competed nationally in events relating to pet care and knowledge. I have also been working on the side for different horse farms since I was 8 years old and have loved every minute of it! Currently I have my own cat and my family has a dog and two other lovely kitties. I’m a vegetarian who loves all animals, no matter what! I take care of every animal I encounter as if they were my own and make sure they know they are loved. On Sundays I spend a few hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well :) I work a full time corporate office job so any opportunity to get outside is one that I look for. Since my commute from work is only 10 minutes, it makes getting around very easy. I treat my pets like people and always put their needs before my own. I pride myself on organization and cleanliness as well as my ability to retain a lot of detail

About: Hi there! My name is Roe and im from Basking Ridge, NJ. Animals are my life! I have resided with dogs, cats, reptiles (and pretty much every kind of household creature possible) for the past 20 years. I was a professional pet sitter for 2 years :) i currently work at a dog barkery and would love to pet sit again in my spare time! Im friendly and reliable, and I will give your pet family lots of love!!! Long walks, treats, and cuddles are my favorite :) I cant wait to get to know your fur babies! Feel free to contact me for more detailed schedule <3 I currently work at a dog bakery in Bridgewater. Wed-sat. 6-7 hours a day. If your pets are used to you being away during those times that would be perfect! I have decent flexibility with this schedule so feel free ask :) I have 3 pups! I understand the worry and stress that comes with having to leave your fur babies! I will care for them like I would my own!

“Very pleasant and reliable. Can’t say enough about Yana. When it’s time for Zeus’s walk he sit by the dog waiting eagerly. She is great with my Zeus. Yana is great. I would highly recommend her”

About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.

“Neha is a very sweet girl whom my dog loved on the very first meet. She is very punctual and arrives at the exact time as committed. She takes care of every detailed instruction as provided to take care of the little one. She even arrived at the wee hours of dawn to walk my dog when we had an urgency. I would trust her to take care of my dog in future for sure!”

About: Been around dogs my entire life and when I was in high school I got one of my own. A beautiful German Shepherd I named Rocky, who stole my heart. His energy was always high and puppy like, but he was well behaved and calm when it was time to be. He has recently passed, but he lives on in my heart. I raised him on my own from a pup through potty training, chewing, and walking on leash. He would respond to basic and advanced commands also able to walk off leash without running off. I have recent experience with senior care just having gone through caring for a sick and elderly dog. He was around 95 pounds and I was able to help him get around, I’m capable to assist any elderly dog however they might need it. Started my own personal training business, but most people are available after normal business hours. So that leaves me free with large breaks during the day which would be perfect for me to baby sit while their owner is working. My schedule is mostly flexible, allowing for long walks and supervised relaxing, but if any type of emergency were to come up, my partner works from home to administer care and constant love so don't be worried your pet will never be alone. We have a house with a fenced in yard. We can walk, play or just hangout. I like to go on a walk first to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, and I will do whatever is possible to make sure your dog is loved how you would love them. If they’re comfortable using a crate I can provide them with one and a soft bed. I have dog bowls for water and will feed them as often as you prefer. Your pet will be physically and mentally simulated making sure they don’t get bored and are always having fun.

About: I have always been around cats and dogs my whole life and have taken care of both before. I love being able to bond with a pet! Hi there! I am new to NJ as I just moved from VA. I work hybrid 9-5 Mon-Fri, and my days in person vary every week, so my availability depends on my job! I am available on weekends- time doesn't really matter for me unless I have something planned but letting me know ahead of time works best! In my home with my cat I always make sure he's fed with a clean box and tons of pets ready for him when he isn't asleep and many toys for him that he loves. The same goes for anyone else's pet I am responsible for!

“Victoria is so good with our dog Dash! She’s so patient with him and makes sure he’s comfortable and has all the things they need (including treats!) for a successful walk! I’ll definitely be hiring her again!”

“Ruby takes such good care of our Golden Retriever puppy. She’s always on time and gives detailed updates about how the walks go. Ruby is kind, easy to communicate with, and we know our pup is in great hands while we’re at work!”

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every dog I work with. I'm very patient, detailed-oriented, and naturally nurturing, so I take the time to understand each dogs personality, routine and comfort needs. Whether it's making an anxious pup feel safe or keeping an energetic dog engaged, I adjust to them- not the other way around. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel calm, loved, and well cared for while your away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I keep a structures and organized schedule. I'm able to plan my days around walks, feedings, and check-ins to ensure each dog gets consistent, reliable care. I provide care in my client's home so pets stay comfortable in their own space. I follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved and well cared for.

“Our experience with Brittany was stellar! She comes prepared and is incredibly kind~ she became quick friends with our nervous doggo in no time! Would absolutely recommend, will absolutely be booking again!”

About: I have a passion for working with dogs and helping them and their humans have the best possible relationship. Regardless of your pup’s age, personality, medical (or other) needs, I’m happy to step up and be a positive part of their day. I’m lucky enough to have a very open schedule during the summer, especially during the day. That means I’m super flexible and willing to work with whatever your scheduling needs are! The love and compassion that you have for your pup is being passed into good hands. Your pup will thank you for entrusting them to my care!

About: I have a couple years of doing in house sitting, dog walking and cat care. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also am able to help give medication if needed. I am reliable, consistent with communication during my time with your pet (s). *For new clients* I do ask to schedule a meet and greet before I confirm an appointment so owners like you, and your pets can get to know me and able to go over what services your pet needs. My availability varies due to work at a veterinary clinic and school. During Monday-Thursdays, I'm available in the mornings before 12:00pm, and provide care in the evenings after 7pm. On Fridays-Sunday I am flexible on times. I'm more than happy to coordinate schedules to find a time that works best for you and your pet. I strive to provide reliable, loving care while accommodating each pet owner's needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, clean and loving environment. I follow all care instructions carefully and ensure pets get the attention, exercise and supervision they need. If medication is required, I make sure to confirm with you as the owner on instructions. As well as any other routine that your pet is in. I also provide updates with lots of photos and videos so owners can feel confident and relaxed while their pets are in my care. If any incidents or possible illness occurs during my time with them I will of course reach out and give an update to you.
