Dog Walking Roosevelt

“Tom was not only willing to step in and cover for my regularly scheduled dog walker on very little notice, but he did such a great job with Yoda, who has the stubbornness of most beagles. It was a relief knowing that Yoda was in such great hands. I , without a doubt, would use Tom again!!!! Thank you for taking great care of my best buddy !”

About: Diagnosed with allergies in childhood, I didn’t have pets until in my 20s, when I picked a week-old kitten from a litter & raised him. Thelonious used to walk between my shoulders as I moved around the house, and slept in my bed. Friends told me he behaved more like a dog than a cat—very affectionate. We were very close. His death broke my heart & I still miss him. Seven years ago, I did cat-sitting for a friend whose apartment in NYC I stayed in for a summer while working nearby on Varick Street. He was a very easygoing cat. Years later, my stepson left his dogs at our house & I was their primary minder. I fed, walked & played with them every day. Although I’d been around dogs a lot growing up, it’s one thing to be around them & another to be responsible for them & develop relationships with them. Each of the dogs had a very distinct personality, and I found them fascinating. Through those & other experiences with friends’ pets, I’ve found that I’m able to make connections with animals that go beyond words. I never would have imagined such a thing in childhood. These days I do house sitting & drop-ins for clients in Monmouth, Mercer & Middlesex Counties. I’m tending to pets with a wide range of needs & dispositions, and love I give is more than equaled by the love I receive from them. I’m truly humbled & in awe. Professionally, I managed desktop publishing & automated publishing for a Fortune 500 financial firm for 20 years. So I have a long track record of responsibility & discipline. That combination of sensitivity & responsibility are what I bring to pet sitting. I only accept clients living within a 30-minute drive from my home, and my routines at home are easily adaptable to meet my clients’ needs. That means my highly flexible schedule allows me to provide your cat with the consistent time, routine, and attention they deserve while you are gone. I don’t rush my check-ins; I stay the full duration to ensure your pet gets plenty of physical play and mental stimulation. Because my hours are highly adaptable, I can drop in at the exact times your pet expects breakfast, dinner, or treats. I’m happy to take photos during my stay to enable you as the pet owner to feel secure about your pet’s care in your absence. I like to play with & talk to pets, and try to adhere to their normal routines, so they, too, feel comfortable in your absence.

“Brianna was very kind to my dogs and made sure I came home to no accidents! With the warm weather we’ve been having she was kind enough to modify our walking routine to make sure the dogs were comfortable, has followed typical feeding schedules, and adjusted to my youngest dog’s needs through his medical issues. I am happy to recommend her as a reliable pet sitter for anyone in need”

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind, from my family dog to my friend’s dogs with special behavioral needs. My family and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and give medication to their dogs and cats. I currently work part time at a dance studio for children that is mainly open during the evenings, allowing me to have a flexible schedule during the day for more walks and playtime. I can walk, feed, play with, and give medications to your fur baby to give them the extra love and attention they want during the day.

About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”

“Daniel has been working with my dog for the past few weeks, and I can’t thank him enough. He is always on time, and always messages me before he gets to the house, as well as when he leaves. As soon as he met my dog, I could tell he was trustworthy and a huge dog lover. I always feel secure knowing that he is on the way looking after my pup. Cannot recommend him enough!”

About: Dogs are part of the family! Being pet parents for over 10 years means we have a lot of experience taking great care of dogs and giving countless belly rubs and snuggles. We love all animals so much! Especially our 2 year old Beagle, Ollie and our 9 month old puppy, Sidney. They are the most loveable and playful boys 🥰 We’re currently available Monday-Friday for drop ins and dog walks from 8am-7pm. Please let us know if you need pet care outside of these hours and we’ll do our best to accommodate. We have a very large fenced in yard. We have a 2 year old male Beagle (neutered, very playful and friendly). Dogs will never be left unattended outside!

“I was so happy to have Laura talk Ace for a nice long walk. She has been very helpful and professional and will be continuing my services with her.”

Theresa D.

“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!”

About: Hi, I’m Jill and I live in Hightstown, NJ. I have loved animals from a very young age and grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards and hamsters, so I’m knowledgeable on what needs to go into caring for them. I’m able to provide a safe environment with a large fenced backyard for your dog(s) to run and play. I work from home some days, but otherwise I am in my office 15 min away from my home. I love to go for walks, so your pet can get in a good amount of exercise. As I currently do not have any pets myself, I am excited to get the friendship and love that dogs always provide! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)!

I’ll keep my availability updated and am happy to discuss your pet’s routine ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent care. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow each owner’s instructions carefully. During walks, drop-ins, or stays, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, proper leash or harness use, potty breaks, and a calm environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
