“Gianna is the best! She is easy to communicate with, on time for walks, trustworthy, and really cares about the animals in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure my big pup is happy and safe. She has lessened my anxiety about leaving my pup and that means the world to me. She has been a life saver and I highly recommend her. Thanks Gianna 🥰🐾”

“If I could give 100 stars, I would! Anthony is highly knowledgeable, kind, calm, professional, punctual, and friendly. He has a perfect energy that puts dogs at ease. Our two pups have some behavioral issues that Anthony was actually able to shine light on and finally get myself and my fiancé on the same page. His professionalism shown through as well, and he made sure that the meeting was the best possible for our dogs. I can truly say that it was the most productive and positive experience I have had using Rover. I have had strong breeds my whole life and Anthony made an excellent impression on my German shepherd as well as my smaller dog, who is very picky about people. He helped us come up with next steps and made us feel at ease. We will definitely be using his services during our wedding weekend, and I know my dogs will be in excellent hands!”

About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Short Hills/Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and care for your home as gently as your pets! I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾
“Amanda is a wonderful walker. I had a short notice request to walk my dog for 3 days and she very responsive and willing to accommodate my desired walking schedules. She communicates well and is punctual. Looking forward to having Amanda walk my dog again!”


“Kiana is the best walker we ever had for Stella. She was on top of everything with quick communication. I will continue to re-book her for future walks and highly recommend!”
