Dog Walking Rutherford

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My experience with dogs started when I was just 4 years old, when my grandmother raised Cocker Spaniels. Growing up, I was also lucky enough to have dogs and cats of my own, which helped me develop a genuine love and understanding of animals. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I currently have a shelter dog mix of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, keep them happy and comfortable, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m currently working full time M-F and am home evenings and weekends. I have a routine with my dog so following another routine will be simple! I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have one dog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs.

About: Some people call me the dog whisperer, but I just speak a dogs language. I love dogs, even more than most humans. I’m not afraid to administer medications or take pups to the vet or groomer. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m pretty much available all day long. I own two large dogs and one small dog. And they all live in harmony with my children. Both my sons love animals almost as much as I do! If we had the land, I’d open a rescue and adoption center. Dogs of all sizes enjoy stopping here on their walks because they know I always have treats waiting. We know most of our furry neighbors better than the humans! We must love dogs or are crazy! I’m currently at home, but we do have children, and live an active and busy lifestyle do to their sports. I try to be as flexible as possible. I have a huge fenced in yard and my dogs love having friends over! We do require crates for sleeping or anytime we are not home, so if your dog is not crate trained, this probably isn’t the home for you.

About: All my friends always joked that my house was the zoo. Among fish, hamsters, birds and bunnies we always have had dogs as part of that zoo. I seem to have a natural kinship with animals and seem to be making friends with the dog at the party before the host. But, I can't imagine life any other way. Assisting with rescue transports has also given me experience in handling scared and skittish animals. It is always funny when walking a dog you don't know the owner's name but identify them as "Jack's Mom" I can't wait to care for your dog as my own. I also look forward to helping your pet feel loved and have some extra attention during this chaotic thing we call life. My schedule varies depending on time of year. Taking care of pets is a happy getaway from everyday life. I like to think they bring me more joy but I see how excited they are when I arrive <3 It all depends on the pet's needs and the client's requests too. I communicate my schedule and the pets schedule all the time when needed.

“I needed a last minute sitter for King and Heather was amazing. King definitely enjoyed her company. I plan on using her again in the near future..”

About: I've been pet sitting since i was 13, I am currently 19 with a dog and cat of my own! I've taken care of seniors as-well as puppies. I've potty trained, taught tricks, and have done special care when needed. I love to go on long hikes and bring my dog with me! I go on walks about 3 times a day, as my dog is very active. Feel free to ask me questions! I would love to watch your pup. :) I'm available for pet sitting any day of the week at any times! I can handle seniors aswell as active dogs. I would love to spend time with your pup. I have one super friendly dog that loves to play and gets along great with cats. I go on 3 walks a day with my pup. She is very active and friendly. Your pup will be able to relax and also get the outside time they need. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for running around and playing.

About: Hi! My name is Ash and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since I was young I grew up in a household with dogs, mostly pits (& one corgi). At the moment, I have my sweet pitbull Penny who is a spoiled happy girl. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated as if they were my own. I can provide regular updates on your pet's while also ensuring they get the love, care, play, exercise, and the cuddles they need! I'm currently in online school, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m not able to provide boarding because of my sweet baby, however, I am able to walk, drop in, or stay overnight! To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, and plenty of attention and play time! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior. I’m currently in online school for my Medical Assistant (MA) license, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day, including walks, drop-ins, and extended care when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and closely follow your instructions to maintain their normal routine. I’m attentive to behavior changes, careful with leash and home safety, and always respectful of your space. You can trust that your pet will be cared for responsibly and treated with patience, love, and consistency.

“Diana accepted a last minute request (day before). She came to pick up key that day and did meet ‘n greet with husband to get instructions. On day of walk, she was on time, called when our fickle front door stuck in the humidity. On the call, after the door opened, it was clear both her and Lizzy our maltipoo were excited to see each other. We got picture and walk info. She left the key in our drop mailbox as she left so we didn’t have to worry or track her down. Very professional! We would definitely book Diana again.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I know a lot about body language, feeding routines, and behavior. I have no issues with any pets, as long as they don't bite! I work a full time job as a, hours ranging between 3:00p- 10p (I try to change my availability on Rover as I get my work schedule!), but I want to incorporate my pet care calling into my life, so I decided to pick this up as a part time! Please keep in mind that I like to book clients, especially new ones, 3 (three) days in advance! This gives us time for a proper Meet & Greet, and for me to build a Client File! I do not take appointments past 3pm. I will gladly work around appointments to the best of my abilities! Caring for your animal, depending on dog or cat, I will have them leashed outside when walking, and monitor when outside in a fenced in yard, or given treats!

“Matt is new to Central PA and we are blessed to have him here! He’s exactly the dog walker we’ve been searching for… reliable, friendly, detail-oriented, thoughtful AND he’s a dog whisperer! Our dog, Clyde, fears meeting new people but he warmed up to Matt within minutes. Matt knew exactly what to do to build trust and connect with our pup. We’re so grateful to be connected to Matt and plan to use him a lot in the future.”

About: I’m at that stage of life where I can’t have my own pup yet, but I love them so much! So, I’ve been watching my friends and families pets for the last three years! I treat every pup with the same love and attention. I’m a full time medical student who loves dogs more than anything else! I love to spend quality time with furry friends in the evening when I get off of my rotations and weekends when I have a lot of downtime. I have a two bedroom apartment with a balcony and large living room. I tend to walk the dogs 2-3 times a day when they stay with me at my place, depending on if I’m working nearby and can run home for lunch :) Otherwise, I’m home most of the 8 hours I’m not at work, and most of the weekend! Happy to walk dogs and pet sit at other homes and accommodate whatever needs seen fit per your pupper in your home.

About: Animal lover since I was a kid growing up, I even had my own pet care service when I was a kid in my neighborhood. I am currently between jobs and have been doing some door dashing on the side and looking to add Rover to the mix. Rover will always take precedent. Available pretty much 24/7 at the moment. I treat all animals as my own. I will follow any rules that are given to me about your pets. I have had pets with all different temperaments and will adapt to whatever is needed.

About: I’m a dog mom that works from home 95% of the time. With 4 dogs and almost an acre for a fenced in backyard, there is a lot of time for fun activities, cuddles, and the zoomies both in and outside of the house. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dogs, and have enough space throughout the house that either can be made comfortable in a space if needed. My daily AND weekly routine are very flexible as I can adjust my own schedule when needed. Even on work hours, I have a lot of free time on my hands that allow for short walks or some fun activities in the yard. My dogs always have time made for them, so I would love to include your pups in our free time. My backyard is fenced in and is a very large plot to allow for a quick stretch of the legs and multiple potty breaks. Smaller dogs will be taken on a leash as the fence is a rail type fence, but larger dogs will be allowed to roam freely around the yard. If your pups are not dog friendly it is a MUST know so that space can be separated from my own, but still allow them room to run and grow comfortable in a new space. Dogs are let out every 1-3 hours, depending on what is needed and can be adjusted as needed.

“Victoria was great with our dogs while we were on a trip. She was very responsive and followed up when I messed up the booking. Great dog walker!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog received while we were away on vacation. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt loved, comfortable, and well-exercised every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. From daily walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and photos, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine love for animals. Our dog absolutely adored her and it showed! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything about the quality of care provided. We are so grateful and highly recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. I grew up with dogs and have experience with all ages, breeds, and sizes! I have a gentle and kind demeanor to not stress shy dogs, and am willing to work to gain their trust! All dogs have unique needs that I can meet, and I can assure you that your dogs’ needs will come first and you can trust that they will be safe in my care! I am currently a student on summer break from college, and am available for pet sitting and walking all days of the week at any time! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs that I feed, walk, and love on daily. I am not able to board but can assure you that I will take care of your pet just as I would my own!

About: I’ve helped my mom take care of her dog since he was a puppy. I like to stop by and provide him with an enriching walk, some much needed playtime or even some pets and a relaxing staycation. I’ve also assisted my grandmother with her senior dog in the past. Although she was a senior pup it didn’t mean she deserved any less care. Making sure she was comfortable in her later years was something I valued deeply. I currently have a part time job generally working Monday-Friday from 5am-10am (times vary slightly). This schedule leaves me with a lot of time during the day that I’m looking to fill with a satisfying and fulfilling side gig. I care for my dog at home by providing him with enriching activities such as a leisurely walk, some simple fetch, going on a car ride locally so he can experience more smells or testing his nose by letting him find treats around the yard.

About: I've had dogs my whole life! More specifically big dogs! I am comfortable with all breeds and size of fur baby and I am also comfortable giving medications and shots if needed! I currently have a senior cat and a black lab! I am available to do evening drop-ins and walks. I am also available some weekends for overnight stays. I am working full time in a school right now and I am looking for some part time work. I will be at your home and able to walk around neighborhood or supervise fur baby in yard. Overnight stays I will stay wherever you feel comfortable with me staying.

About: I have lots of experience walking dogs of many different breeds and sizes. I personally have 2 cats at home and have cared for dogs months at a time in the past. I also had an internship at an animal shelter where I had to take care of every dog you can imagine and had to keep a very calm and collected environment for both people and animals I am an incoming college freshman going to Penn state and I currently have a part time job with easy work around hours throughout the beginning of the day. I am available quite often to take care of your furry friends I have a big home and lots of yard space that is unfortunately unfenced. However I have lots of trails and other active areas around me and they are always welcome inside. I also have 2 friendly cats that will stay out of the way of your pets
