Dog Walkers in Smithville, NJ

About: I am a pediatric occupational therapist! I’ve had a variety of pets in my life including hamsters, birds, dogs, and cats. I enjoy dog walking at my local shelter. I work most afternoons and evenings but I have time before and after work to make multiple visits in one day, so I am flexible I always like to schedule a meeting before anything. Before taking on the responsibility of taking care of your pets, I will make sure I am aware of your all pets’ needs and requirements. If a problem arises, I will call you immediately.

About: With a lifetime of dog care experience, I specialize in puppies, seniors, high-energy breeds, and beagles—providing compassionate, reliable care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I'm a teacher with summers off, offering dependable, loving dog care all day—perfect for puppies, seniors, and energetic pups needing extra loving attention and time. As a teacher available this summer, I provide in-home dog care and walking—attentive, reliable service for puppies, seniors, and energetic dogs of all wonderful kinds.

About: I’m a mini dachshund mom and have learned so much through daily walks, training, and care. I treat every dog with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. While I’m new to professional pet care, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and passionate about keeping dogs happy and safe. I’m a teacher during the school year, but I’m off for the summer which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for your pup! I’m available for dog walks in the mornings and early afternoons throughout the week. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to work with your routine to make sure your dog gets the attention and exercise they need while you’re busy. Since I’m focused on dog walking, your pup will always be safely leashed, walked on low-traffic routes, and never left unattended. I take time to understand each dog’s needs and energy level, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes. Safety, trust, and communication are my priorities on every walk.

“Andrew has been nothing short of patient and kind as our new puppy gets to know him. He is punctual and communicates very well. I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! I have been House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar as possible to their norm.

About: Hi! I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes as I currently have 4 labs myself! I am very familiar with the zoomies and any dog needs I am lucky to have a flexible work schedule where I can take care of doggos in my down time and make sure they get plenty of attention With my experience owning dogs I make sure they have plenty of time and room to run around and play while having comfy places to take their daily naps

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, helping neighbors, friends, and family with daily walks, feedings, and baths. Over the years, I’ve also fostered animals in need, giving them a safe and loving home until they found their forever families. In addition to my personal experience, I worked in a veterinary hospital where I learned to handle a wide range of pet care needs — from grooming and administering medications to providing comfort and care in a professional setting. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have a full-time job but work from home once a week, allowing me to stay flexible. I’m free most evenings and weekends to care for your pets with attention and love. I provide loving, attentive care for pets either in my home or yours. My home features a fenced-in yard for safe play, access to the beach for fun outings, and a friendly resident cat. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and part of the family while in my care.

About: I've had pets for the last 15 years. I'm an active dad who loves walks around town with my own dogs, I am more than happy to walk yours also. Our pets are up to date with vaccines and I keep clean water bowls daily. Feel free to reach out to me with your questions, I'll be happy to help. I am a stay home dad and I take pride in running my house accordingly. I'm an active runner and walk ours dogs often so they don't get anxious and i play fetch with them daily x3 at least. I have space for crates while I'm outside walking whichever dog's turn it is in order to guarantee their safety. I have a schedule for feeding times to maintain appropriate weight goals for our pets. I have a fence backyard with space to play fetch so we don't have to find random parks on days that are too hot or too cold. However walks are a must for the dogs social development. Walk time vary depending on age, size and capability of the dog. When I walk a dog, I prefer to put the other ones in crate with a water bowl to guarantee their safety. I keep the AC or heat on according to the season.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ranging in size and behavior. Big dogs have always been my preference (especially dogs deemed "scary"); currently, I have a German Sheppard Malinois mix, and two cats. Near my house, we frequently get strays or dogs that have escaped their homes. With the assistance of my family, we would help the lost animal get back to their family or help find a forever home. One of my own cats is a stray we found many years ago, and couldn't let go of. I'm currently a full-time student at Stockton University, majoring in Psychology. I have a flexible schedule, most of my time being available in the mid-afternoon to night. Some days I am available in the mornings. I would love to spend this time with your furry friends, while I'm away from mine! I have a fenced-in yard, and my pup loves it, but he loves walking on trails more. I have taken my dog (~85 lbs.) on many walks on trails. He is very friendly with people but is hesitant with other dogs. I know how to keep your furry friend safe, no matter their personality!

About: I’m a big believer in energy with animals creating a calm loving environment is so important. Always treated my pets like family never as just a pet. I’m a sahm and own my own business which gives me flexibility for visits. I do not have my kids Thursday through Sunday evening so I’m very flexible those days but I am available during the week as well. I make sure they are fed, let out, walked and exercised as directed. Including lots of play and reassurance that they are safe even when their humans aren’t around.

“Lauren has walked my Layla a few times and has been great! I’m relieved when I see she is there on time and excited to see the post walk photos. Thanks!”

About: I've grown up around dogs and love all kinds. I have two dogs of my own. I am great with dogs and would take care of yours like they were my own. I have an American Bully whose around 3 years old. I'm experienced with all types and sizes of dogs. Whatever you need, I am your girl! I am very outgoing and friendly. Dogs just love me, ask my two fur babies, they will definitely agree!! I’m at stay at home mom so my availability is pretty open. I also get up pretty early for the gym so early rising is not an issue for me. I have a fenced in yard to keep pets safe. I always let the pet come to me so they don’t feel intimidated as that is super important when meeting a new animal.

“Jamie has been nothing short of amazing! My dog has always been very nervous and reactive. She is so patient with him! I can’t even begin to explain the peace of mind I have knowing he’s in good hands with her. Thank you again Jamie!”
