Dog Walking South Orange

“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”

Nadine K.

“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!”

Jay G.

“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!”

Dwayne L.

“Shirley is very consistent, timely, responsible and communicative. Our doggo gets so excited when she comes. She was also very good at handling our puppy who is still not very comfortable with walking”

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.

“I recently moved to the area for work, and one of my top priorities was finding a dependable dog walker. I can confidently say that I’ve found the perfect one in Jon. He’s been absolutely wonderful. My dog Rosie tends to be quite anxious around new people, but Jon has been so patient and understanding, allowing her to build trust with him at her own pace. I can’t recommend Jon highly enough!”

About: As a fur parent that has dealt with a range of fur baby needs, I am equipped and willing to handle a wide-range of pet circumstances, and will ensure that I care for your pet, as I would my own. With love, patience, and understanding. We'll have a great time too! I am a contract event producer with Tribeca film festival and sofar sounds, so i have plenty of time throughout the year to give your pet the attention they need. I always ask for a trial meeting with the pet parents and their fur-baby to to ask questions, and get a sense of what a normal day looks like in the home. I also ask that all parents document as much about their pet, and their home as possible so that I can be ready for any eventuality.

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.

About: Growing up in a veterinarian household taught me how to properly care for animals while making them all feel safe, loved, comfortable, and stress-free 🫶🐾✨ Down Below is listed my Schedule 🐾✨ Weekdays: • 4:00am-6:00am • 9:00am-1:30pm • 7:00pm-11:00pm Weekends: All day UNLESS notified otherwise I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets safe, stress-free, and as close to their normal schedule as possible. I make sure dogs get proper walks, exercise, and playtime, while also ensuring cats have clean litter boxes, fresh water, and enrichment suited to their personality—whether that’s play, affection, or quiet companionship. I always pay close attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel secure and cared for. 🐾✨🫶

About: I originally come from the sunny (and blazing hot) state of Florida! I moved to the greater NYC area in 2014 to pursue a career in the performing arts and I live with my husband in a lovely and charming 1920's apartment building. I've been around so many kinds of animals my whole life. You name it, I have probably owned it as a pet or spent months with them! Some of the pets I've owned include: lizards, cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, ferrets, birds, mice, hamsters and more! I also love cats, but can't own or board due to my husband's allergies - so I get my fix by sharing a little love to strays and taking care of my neighbors furry families! My favorite kinds of dogs are mixes of pit bulls and labs. My husband really loves beagles and hounds. I'm in theatre so my schedule can vary from season to season, but someone is almost always home with our furry friends. We try very hard to make sure they feel loved, socialized, and engaged while here (unless they'd rather just lay around haha). I require meet and greets with new clients before all stays to ensure the pup would be comfortable in my home. During that time we discuss what your pup needs and what we are able to provide. Feel free to ask any questions!

“Nicole walked our dog Buddy during the spring break while we were out. She took care of buddy really well and was good with communicating and giving a heads-up as necessary.”

Doug & Luiz Pet care is part of our everyday routine. One of us is home throughout the day so dogs receive consistent supervision and attention. Our mornings usually begin around 6 AM with potty breaks, feeding, and short walks. Throughout the day we rotate outdoor time, play sessions, and rest periods depending on each dog’s energy level. Because our home is set up specifically for dog boarding and daycare, we can easily adjust routines for medications, feeding schedules, extra potty breaks, or dogs that prefer quieter space. Dogs staying with us enjoy a safe and comfortable home environment with plenty of supervised attention. We have a large fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and an additional floor of our home is dedicated to the dogs. This allows us to separate guests when needed and provide quiet space for dogs who prefer their own area. We follow each dog’s routine closely and take time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort level so they can settle in quickly.

I currently am free all day, 7 days a week until I begin work as a preschool summer camp counselor in the end of June.

I live in a safe neighborhood with a park nearby which is perfect for walks, and have an animal-loving family. I am an avid rule follower, responsive communicator and will prioritize ensuring the safety of each pet.
