Dog Walkers in Richwood, NJ

About: I work well with independent minded dog breeds, brachycephalic breeds, and dogs with behavioral issues like extreme anxiety. I have experience in senior care, socialization, and muzzle training with my own dog. For the past few years, I have done in-home sitting for friends and neighbors. I have been around dogs in my family since a young age. In-home pet sitting services include a daily walk, feeding, outside potty breaks and play time. Additional add-on services are brushing, administration of oral medication, wrinkle cleaning, and teeth brushing if needed. There is an additional fee for 2 or more dogs. My schedule allows for me to spend much of the day with your dog, about 6 hours. At night I can spend about 4 hours (plus sleeping time) and usually more. Although I have looked after them in the past, currently I am unable to care for cats. I am available for in-home dog sitting for 1+ nights or just an evening out. Timing for in-home sitting is by appointment. I am available for dog walking/drop-in visits Monday through Saturday, between 11:00 AM and 10:00 PM. While in-home sitting, I try to keep the dog's schedule as consistent with his daily life as possible. I also will take him for a daily walk or to the dog park if that is part of his regular schedule and the owner would like that. Other tasks included are feeding, water top off, outside potty breaks, and play time. Additional add-on services are brushing, administration of oral medication, wrinkle cleaning, and teeth brushing if needed. There is an additional fee for 2 or more dogs.

About: I have been taking care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats since I was 15. I have been hired to dog and cat sit during the day (for pets of all ages), walking dogs, and drop in visits to feed animals and play with them! I am currently in physical therapy school and have a very flexible schedule. I am available after 4pm Monday through Friday and off on the weekends. Starting May 1st I will be available all day everyday except for days marked off! I have a fence and big backyard. When caring for others pets, I am able to let them outside with a fence or able to take them out on a leash. I also have a car if they enjoy car rides!

About: I bring hands-on, real-world experience from working at a professional dog daycare called Fetch, where I regularly supervised groups of 17–20 dogs at once. This taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play safely, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and enriched. Beyond daycare work, I’ve also done individual dog walking and spent time volunteering at local shelters, where I walked dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. These experiences have helped me build patience, confidence, and strong handling skills. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun experience for them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I dedicate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays entirely to it. I treat pet care like a full-time responsibility on those days, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, play, feedings, and attention. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, they become my priority, and I make sure their routine is followed and their needs are fully met. In my own home, I’ve cared for my dog since he was a puppy—we started with crate training and now he enjoys playtime in our fenced yard and daily walks. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable with different routines and training styles. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very flexible and always follow the routine their dog is used to. Whether that means crate time, specific walking schedules, certain feeding instructions, or favorite play activities, I make sure to care for their pet the same way they would. My goal is to keep each dog comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to what feels familiar to them.

“Ava is the best! She cares so much about our dog and gets back to me very quickly. She always sends us pictures and videos and updates about the walk. I would highly recommend Ava!”

“Pippa’s first walk with Kate was great! We recently moved into the area and I was anxious about finding a reliable, trustworthy weekday walker. Kate eased my worries. She is very communicative, provided great notes with photos, but most importantly, Pippa was very happy to see her.”

“Kevin was prompt to responding to my request for a dog walker. On the same day we set up a date for meet and greet. I received a text message from Kevin that he was on his way. My dog Rory is a 100 pound English Labrador and met Kevin at the door. Right away they both clicked. Kevin told me he had 2 dogs and he was very attentive to my boy. We agreed on the dates and time and I completed the process online. On the first day Kevin texted he was on his way. Rory was excited to go for his walk and was happy as evidence by running to me and wagging his tail when he came back. Every morning Kevin came, Rory met him at the door. I was very pleased with how friendly Kevin was and the attention he gave to Rory. I received 4 adorable pictures of Rory from Kevin while they were on their walks. I definitely recommend Kevin for your dog care needs. Thank you very much.”

About: I don’t discriminate against any type of breed. I care for them as they are my own . There is no problem for me in giving medications, if needed. I currently work full time . They would be taken care of in the morning, if needed at lunch time . Once done my normal work day, then I would go back to them for however long was needed . In the clients home : We would play, go for walks if the dog enjoys them . I like to snuggle and sit with them, I will converse with them . I always make sure they have fresh water .

“John is very responsive and pays attention to Zuri's needs. She is strong, curious and loves to walk. John gave her a little extra time because he understood she was really enjoying her walk. He checks in and was punctual. I appreciate him.”

About: I worked at PetSmart inside the pet hotel for over a year. I took care of hundreds of dogs with my duties including bathing, walks, and playtime with up to 15 dogs at a time.
