Top rated Rockleigh dog walkers
“Erik has been awesome. Has been very prompt with the timing and days we had rain he let us know in advance better to reschedule. He cares for my dog and gave good ideas too on how to curb certain activities of my dog who has ski much energy.”
“Lorenzo did an amazing job walking our baby! Latte doesn’t need much: just a little walk to pee and poop and then he’s ready to head back in. He did just that and it was a great help as I work a hybrid schedule so I’m unable to walk Latte when I’m in office. Having someone come over while we’re out of the house and tend to our baby’s schedule is just something we need, especially with such a trustworthy dog handler! Latte was very amicable with Lorenzo, so this is definitely a great start to something new.”
“Helene is consistently reliable and great with my dog. She made Izzy feel comfortable since there first introduction and loves my dog like I do. She has been a huge help with my current work schedule. Helene is trustworthy and always updates me promptly, highly recommended!”
“Yazmine was able to jump in at the last minute and provide some quick care to Loki when my schedule changed! So grateful. Despite not having met each other before, he warmed up to her and allowed her to put on his harness (a bit achievement for a first meeting!). She was communicative and thorough, very responsive to instructions. Thank you!!”

“Peter is an enthusiastic and considerate pet care provider! He did an excellent job walking our large dog, taking the time to learn about her tendencies and needs, making sure to accommodate her allergies and health issues. He’s also very prompt and very polite. Will absolutely hire him again!”
“Alina is THE BEST. She has been my walker for 2 dogs now with very different personalities and challenges. She has been great with them. My new dog is 2 years old and has a lot of separation anxiety and Alina was great with walks and putting him in the crate when needed. I highly recommend Alina!”
About: I grew-up with dogs and cats, and have housesat for more than 5 years looking after a variety of pets, including snakes! I adopt senior animals, and give them a forever home. I am comfortable with giving medication, including pills and drops, as well as subcutaneous injections. I work full-time, so can only look after your animals in the mornings and evenings during the weekday. I am available at all times on the weekends. Unfortunately, I cannot have other animals in my house, as my senior is the king/queen of the household! But I have a lot of experience going to other people's homes to look after their animals. I am single, clean and respectful of others' property.
About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a miniature poodle I learned how to potty train him in the home and also trained him to see his crate as a safe space. I’m currently a college student that’s home for the whole summer, with 100% free time. I am free Sunday to Saturday, most likely all day. I've watched dogs my whole life! I also have a dog of my own. I know the ins and outs! I will get them to their daily walks on time, I will feed them on time. I will treat your dog as my own. Dogs bring me joy and I would love this opportunity to build a relationship with yours!
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience from pups, kittens to senior dogs and even more recently deaf pets. Was raised with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Pet care fits naturally into my life. Recently lost my 13yr old senior frenchie. I do work full-time weekdays but am available for evening feedings, walks, and weekend care. My 12 yr old son may be with me many times as this is also his passion. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. In my home, while space is modest, I offer a clean, cozy environment with a secure fenced-in yard for play and potty breaks. I'm attentive and patient. I also have a 12 yr old son who can keep your pet active if needed. My son actively entertained our frenchie and provided those extra special hugs. There will always be room for love and play. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them calm and happy while you're away.
“Alyssa walked our dog for us while we were on vacation. Before our trip, she came to the house to meet our dog. She made sure to clarify any instructions and behavioral quirks to make sure that she could keep our dog safe and give her a good time. Alyssa sent us pictures and updates after each walk. She helped our dog play safely with other dogs that she encountered. We’re lucky to have found her!”
“Orlando came through in a pinch! A great attitude and was amazing with my Toby. If I didn’t have an outstanding walker already I would scoop Orlando up in a heartbeat. 12/10 would recommend for your dog walking needs!”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including walking, bathing, and ensuring their overall well-being. I previously worked as a dog bather, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet lover with three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, exercise, and affection in pet care. Friends and family have come to me for years to look after and walk their pets! My previous experiences has equipped me to handle various energy levels and needs, ensuring each pet gets personalized attention. Whether it’s a fun walk or just some extra love, I always prioritize their happiness and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a college student with a flexible schedule. I have Mondays, Fridays, and most weekends free, along with availability on Tuesdays after 2 PM and Wednesdays after 12 PM. My schedule allows me to be reliable and accommodating. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring meals, walks, and playtime align with their usual schedule. I provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise they need. If needed, I can also handle light grooming, such as brushing or wiping paws after walks. I always respect the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure while ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

Joeyann M.
“As the spouse I can say with full confidence—and a little bit of envy—that no one takes better care of animals than they do. In fact, I often joked that our French Bulldog, Niko, was treated better than I was. Niko wasn’t just a pet in our home, he was family. And JoeyAnn made sure of that every single day, from the dog meals to the cozy bedtime routines and even personalized playlists. We’ve been lucky to have a decent-sized yard and a warm, welcoming home that’s always had space for animals. Since Niko passed, it’s felt empty. There’s a quiet in the house that didn’t exist before and all of us, including our 12-year-old son who grew up side-by-side with Niko feels it. Our son was incredibly hands-on and loving with him He learned compassion, responsibility, and how to sneak treats past us when he thought we weren’t looking. We all miss Niko terribly, but the love we had for him hasn’t disappeared—it’s just waiting for another set of paws/claws to come along and fill that space. JoeyAnn is not only loving and dependable, but has an almost magical connection with animals. If you’re considering trusting her with your pet, know they’ll be cared for like royalty… or better, like Niko.”

“Hayley is great! Dex loves her and she’s wonderful with the communication! I highly recommend her!”
Onnika D.
“Onnika has sat with our lab on numerous occasions and has done a fantastic job. She is always on time and does exactly what is requested . Our Aggie loves her and is always excited to see her so that is a true assessment of her love for pets. If you ever need a pet sitter I highly recommend Onnika. You will not be disappointed”
Carley G.
“I have known Carley G. for over eight years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. As a pet owner who is way too attached to her dog, I enthusiastically recommend Carley as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for our two boxer puppies as I would. I am more comfortable leaving my animals with Carley because she really relates to each animal individually. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave my babies, it is important for me to know that more than her physical needs will be satisfied. The affection that she receives from Carley makes her separation from me less stressful.”
Jenny H.Star Sitter
“Jenny is the best! She always sends a number of photos from the moment she picks my dog up, until she drops her off. My dogs always SO happy when she comes.”
