Dog Walkers in South Amboy, NJ

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.

“I was very hesitant to use rover. I did not like the idea of random people just coming into my home. Then we found Nicholas and I am so happy we used rover. He has helped me out so many times and my 3 year old golden doodle loves him. I highly recommend using Nicholas if you’re looking for an amazing person to care for your dog.”

About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

“Sara is wonderful! I’m so grateful for her. She’s very reliable and trustworthy and truly loves what she does. This is very obvious from the pictures and videos she shares on walks and/or dog sitting! I’d recommend her to anyone. She also is available often when I need her at the last minute. She’s very kind.”

“So damn fortunate to have found Bianca. As pet owners, everyone is familiar with the apprehension that accompanies when you have to trust a stranger with your pets or like I say “Your Heart and Soul”. My boys are uber spoiled and Bianca’s level of patience with them….I couldn’t ask for anything more. She is communicative, punctual, extremely professional. She took the time to truly listen and understand Buddy and Brody’s personalities - their likes and dislikes - their joys and anxieties. As a pet owner, one can’t ask for anything more. The only aspect that behooves me is why does she not charge more for her services? Lol. All kidding aside, she is a Godsend for pet owners. B, once again thank you for you.”

“Mike is an amazing dog walker. You can tell he really loves dogs. He has terrific communication and keeps in tabs with you on your pup. He often goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is okay. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dog walker!”

“Felix did a great job taking care of my dog for the weekend. He sent photos during walks to keep me updated and was always on time for the walks. He was very polite and communicative to make time time to meet beforehand.”

“Our dog Sunshine gets so excited to see Jennifer when she walks her for us! We've been using Jenn's services for years now and can't say enough good things about her. She's is very gentle and patent with our stubborn senior girl who thinks the world exists to pamper her! Mahalo Jennifer for being a part of our ohana.”

About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I grew up with dogs and have always been comfortable around them, their energy, and their routines. As an adult, I’m a proud cat mom, which has given me a deep appreciation for feline personalities, boundaries, and the quieter kind of companionship. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and comfort needs. I work from home, which allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible with schedules. I especially enjoy providing calm, reassuring care for pets who may be shy, anxious, older, or just prefer a quieter environment. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, my goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be present, responsive, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I care for pets by closely following their established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking needs, litter or potty routines, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, making sure pets receive plenty of companionship, enrichment, and reassurance while maintaining their normal daily rhythm. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and never rush care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment with close supervision, lots of attention, and regular updates to owners. I’m especially mindful of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. I communicate regularly with photos and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away, and I always adjust my care style based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs.

“Kim is respectful of our property and our dog seems to love her. It had been years since we had been in touch but she was happy to pick up right where we left off when my family had to go out of town for a night. Highly recommend.”

“Was the first time we used rover and didnt wanna leave our baby girl alone while we ate dinner so we decided to book with him. He was able to get our pup walked with a quick booking process and had great communication the whole time.”

About: Hi! My name is Veronica, and I’m a graduate student, athlete, and huge animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very active and love being outside, so dog walking and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog loves long walks, needs extra patience, or just wants company during the day, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet, so I always try to be dependable, responsive, and attentive to each dog’s routine and needs. I also send photo updates during visits so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is doing well. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy dogs, puppies, and senior pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your dog and help make your day a little easier! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love being able to dedicate time to it each day. I have classes in the mornings and early afternoons, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the after 3 PM on Mondays, between 1 PM and 6 PM on Tuesdays, and later in the day on Fridays, after 3 PM. I’m also flexible on other days depending on your pet’s needs! I’m great at sticking to routines, so whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or consistent check-ins, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in their familiar routine and environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, paying attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and visits, and I’m mindful of surroundings to keep your pet safe at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Jasmin was there for my baby Luna as I started a new job. So grateful for her. She made sure Luna went outside to walk even when Luna didn’t really want to.”

About: I’ve grown up with my grandmas dog who was a very shy and quiet dog and would usually just walk away from everyone but my grandma and me. Everyone thought he wasn’t a “good” dog because he didn’t really like anyone’s presence, yet they didn’t know how excited he’d get to see me. Sometimes he’d get so excited he’d pee a little! Every year after receiving birthday money I’d make sure to get him a little treat as a kid. Our time was great, and I’ll make sure it’s just as great with your pup! My schedule is lenient and can be adjusted with preparation. Monday-Wednesday 3-7 pm and saturdays from morning to evening is when I’ll most likely always be free! As someone who’s a very big advocator in pets safety and care, I’ll make sure to accept any sort of accommodations for your pet, every pet deserves a best friend no matter their needs!

About: I’ve been watching dogs for years, and I’ve had one almost my entire life. Neighbors, families and friends have always relied on me with their dogs. For the last two years, I owned a beautiful golden retriever that unfortunately recently passed away due to a rare disease called mega-esophagus which developed into aspirational pneumonia. With that being said, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs with special needs. LGBTQ+ friendly 🏳️‍🌈 I work primarily from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m available mostly any day, any time, except before 11am. I will make your pet my priority! If interested, feel free to view my professional LinkedIn profile by searching Eric Barbieri in South Amboy, NJ. Relax while you’re gone and know that you’re pup is in good hands. I prefer to only watch 2 dogs at a time, unless the owner has more, but a maximum of 3.

“Tessa I appreciate you so much & so does monkey. I hope this is a start of a new and ongoing relationship. I definitely recommend you and want to book you for the future. We have found our perfect person. Thank you Tessa, see you soon dear.”
