Dog Walking Short Hills

“Amanda was a stellar dog walker. I first booked her during the wild week of rain and she was super flexible and willing to make sure my pup still got his time outside. Communication was excellent. Definitely will be booking her again.”

About: I've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need ! Though I've mainly cared for cats, I also have experience with more exotic pets like fish, geckos, and tarantulas. I have a 30gal fish tank of my own ! I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !

“Anthony has been walking my very large dog now for several weeks and I am very happy with him. My dog is very hard to handle and Anthony does very well with her and I will continue to hire Anthony to walk my dog.”

About: I am a professional ballerina transitioning out of her career into the next and looking for a fulfilling job in the meantime! I love animals of all kinds and have experience caring for all different types of dogs and cats, as well as a multitude of exotic animals! I am extremely precise and detail oriented and will always take the utmost care with your beloved pets. Many of my side jobs throughout my ballet career have been caretaking of some sort (nanny, gardener), and I would love to transfer those skills into pet-sitting! I’m currently transitioning careers and looking to start college in January, so I am very flexible. I left a high pressure nannying job in June and am happy to work with your schedule. I am very respectful in your space. I have been a nanny for 3 years and have traveled with the family, stayed at their house often, and am very considerate in your home. I will let the pet lead and wherever they seem most comfortable is where I will be, whether it is their favorite spot next to the couch, or the kitchen chair. I am mindful of any rules or preferences you have, and am focused solely on the animals comfort!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through helping take care of my family’s dog. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, providing fresh water, cleaning up after the dog, and making sure they received plenty of attention and exercise. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I am reliable, punctual, and able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I will work with pet owners to find times that best fit their pets’ needs. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care needs. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times, whether in the client’s home or during walks. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and respect.

“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 🥰🐾”

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 🐾

“Anna was great! Jax liked her immediately. She sent photos to confirm he did his business and ate his food. She was super easy to work with and I felt that Jax was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future needs!”

About: Hi! My name is Ava, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have volunteered with local animal shelters, adopted and trained three dogs of my own, and fostered multiple dogs over the years. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable working with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience administering a variety of medications and understand the importance of following care instructions closely to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their families are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply a reliable companion, I would love the opportunity to care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you're apart. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!!! I am currently working part-time so I am pretty open for all your pet needs! I enjoy adding walking into my routine and would love to have company!! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and any special needs or preferences.

About: I have had two cats all my life which I have cared for, fed and changed litter for. I also have experience with walking and caring for dogs. I am free anytime from here up until the 16th of August which is when I will be going back to college, but I will be free when winter break comes around. My cats are house cats so it is very easy for me to keep them safe. I shoo them away from anything dangerous or anything they shouldn’t be messing with quickly. As for dogs, I always keep an eye on them and have a tight grip on their leash when walking them so they don’t run off.

About: Hi, I’m Brit—a lifelong animal lover with over 3 years of experience caring for dogs, especially small to medium breeds like cockapoos, cavapoos, and hound mixes. I truly believe every pup is unique, so I take the time to get to know their quirks, energy levels, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks or just wants some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to what they need. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I really enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. 🐾 Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, ensuring I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits or walks as requested. Whether it’s a midday check-in or extended sitting, I plan ahead to give each pet my full attention and make sure their needs are met with consistency and care. I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment for pets by maintaining their daily routines in their own home. I follow feeding schedules, walking routes, and any specific instructions to ensure consistency and comfort. I take extra care to understand each dog’s temperament, using a gentle and observant approach to keep them safe and happy. I always leave the home tidy and secure, and keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have had the blessing of growing up with dogs since I was born. Dogs have always had a massive impact on my life and will forever bring me an immense amount of happiness. I’ve been lucky enough to understand how both puppies and elderly dogs function and am well aware of their capabilities, wants & needs. I find myself to be a patient but energetic caretaker & am hoping to utilize this service for the betterment of both the dog and myself! You can trust your pup with me as I understand just how important a dog is to any owner - forever family. I come with 2.5 years of dog walking experience in Boston & am now eager to bring this passion of mine to NJ 😊🐾 I can walk and take care of your pup at any time of the day, as I work fully remote. I can also care for them during the weekends that I’m not away for. I love talking walks around neighborhoods frequently so I am more than happy to take your dog on a nice long walk or just entertain in your home or backyard with toys! Anything that you prefer for your dog I’m more than happy to accommodate to.
