“Rafa has truly been an absolute gift to our family and to Jax. From the very beginning, she has gone above and beyond in every possible way. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and so genuinely caring—it’s obvious that this isn’t just a job for her, but something she puts her whole heart into. Rafa is wonderfully gentle and patient with Jax, and the bond they’ve built is so special to see. Jax gets genuinely excited to see her, which says everything. The thoughtful photos and detailed updates after each walk mean the world to us and give such peace of mind, knowing he’s happy, safe, and loved while we’re away. She is friendly, attentive, and treats Jax like he’s her own. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog is priceless, and Rafa is exactly that person. We are beyond grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for exceptional, heartfelt care. 🐾✨💛”

About: I have had several dogs since I was 3 years old. Whether you are traveling for business or recreation, you will have full confidence that I will care for your fur baby as if they are my own. Your pet will be in the best care while you are away. They will get the most exercise as walks will be given frequently. I love having visitors all the time in our home and care for several of our friends dogs when they travel. That is why I’ve decided to extend my home to others that need care of their loved one. Feel free to request to have a meet & greet to see if your pup are comfortable in new surroundings. I work from home, so your pet will rarely be left home by themselves. They will receive plenty of play time and care throughout the day. We have crates available, if your pet uses them at home and helps make them more comfortable. While here, they will have full roam of our home.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lovers with a deep passion of caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and plenty of other furry (and not-so-furry) friends taught me how much love and care they deserve. My top priority is always making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feeling loved. From feeding routines and walks to cuddle time (or just calm company for the more independent types), I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for according to their unique personality. I love keeping pets engaged with fun, stimulating activities. For cats, that might mean interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or laser play. For dogs, it’s usually games of fetch, tug-of-war, or a good old-fashioned frisbee toss. Even reptiles get the same thoughtful attention (maybe less cuddling, but plenty of care and respect!). Every pet deserves the best care possible, and that’s what I promise to provide. Whether you’re going away for a day or a week, I will treat your furry family member as if they were our own. I’d love to meet your pets and help you feel at ease while you’re away!

I have an extensive background in animal care after managing a pet shop for 12 years. I have had numerous rescue dogs in the past and currently have a lovely pitbull named Starling. Currently working part time so I have lots of time to care for your family member. I'd love to care for them as you do. I love dogs and would love to walk, or sit your dog.

About: I’m an animal lover through and through, and caring for pets has always been one of the best parts of my day. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes — from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I love being outdoors, getting exercise, and spending time with animals, so your pet will easily fit right into my daily routine and get plenty of love and attention. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care seven days a week. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting, I can accommodate your needs. Starting November 1, 2025, I’ll be based in Manalapan, NJ, and I’m looking forward to meeting some new furry friends in the area! I will greet your dog with joy and take them on a nice walk. I will make sure they have water, are safe and are well taken care of.
“Lenny is fantastic. I needed a sitter at the last minute and she was happy to help. She was prompt every day, responsive, thoughtful about my pup’s needs and sent great pictures and videos. We’ll definitely be asking for Lenny’s dog walking help in the future!”
About: Hey! My name is Madison. I can't wait to meet you and your furry baby(s)! My whole life, I've had a passion for animals of all kinds! I've had 3 dogs in my lifetime, who each have impacted my life immensely. A Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix named Gidget is my current pup. I have a background in caring for dogs of all sizes. From Yorkie's to Rottweilers. I'm currently a full-time online student so my schedule is very flexible! I'm able to complete my assignments from anywhere in the world. I also work with dogs on a daily basis at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. Your pet is family, and I understand how stressful it is to leave them in another's care while you are away. To ensure proper care and safety of your pet I do need at least a day's notice before house-sitting to ensure I am able to get all of the necessary information needed to provide top-notch care for your loved one. In case of an emergency with your pet, I will reach out to you to determine the best game plan to ensure your pet gets the help they need. I have worked with many general clinics and emergency clinics in the area. If for any reason I'm unable to reach you while you are away, I will contact an emergency contact. In case of an extreme emergency, your pet will be taken to the emergency room right away.

We couldn’t be happier with Nicholas! He was punctual for every single walk, which gave us such peace of mind, and his communication was excellent—updates and photos after each walk made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!
I can’t recommend Giuliana enough! When I got called into work last minute, she stepped in without hesitation to walk Zoro. She was punctual, kind, and genuinely caring giving him treats and plenty of attention. She took him on over two miles of walks, and he came home happily worn out, which speaks volumes about how much he enjoyed his time. Knowing Zoro was in such good hands gave me great peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found someone as dependable and caring as Giuliana, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her for future walks!
Jiya has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Lucy! From the very first walk, Lucy took to her instantly — a true sign of Jiya’s calm, caring nature. She’s punctual, reliable, and always communicates how the walk went, often sharing sweet updates or photos that brighten our day. Highly recommend Jiya to anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog walker.
