If you're looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog walker, Abby is the perfect choice! She has done an incredible job taking care of our three fur babies. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Abby is not only attentive and reliable but also exceptionally skilled at understanding our dogs' needs and personalities. Her communication with us has been excellent; she keeps us updated with photos and messages, which gives us peace of mind. It's evident that she goes above and beyond to ensure our dogs are happy and well-cared for. We couldn't be more grateful for her services. I highly recommend Abby to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾

About: I’ve cared for family pets for years, primarily cats, and am comfortable with feeding schedules, litter care, playtime, and providing attentive companionship. I also love dogs and previously volunteered at a dog shelter from 7th grade through the end of high school, where I helped with daily care, socialization, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. I currently take classes 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I provide attentive and loving care for pets both in my home and in a client’s home. I follow all feeding instructions, maintain clean litter boxes or designated areas, and give plenty of playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and providing special care for senior or shy pets. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, whether it’s cuddle time, walks, or engaging play.

Anthony’s been a huge help with my high-energy and leash-reactive GSP. They’ve really hit it off, and my pup’s taken quite a liking to him. Anthony’s reliable, keeps in touch promptly, and gets what my dog needs. He’s genuinely caring and approachable, which is a big plus. Thanks to Anthony, my dog’s routine has become much more manageable. If you’re on the lookout for a responsible and dog-friendly walker, he’s the way to go.

I’ve worked in both veterinary hospitals as well as animal shelters, helping me gain skills in managing diverse animal personalities. I’m also certified in animal First-Aid, and am committed to animal care and safety. I’m also pursuing a bachelors in zoology, in hopes of working with more diverse animals!

I’m incredibly attentive to the behaviors of your fur baby, making sure to create a comfortable and fun environment for them.

About: Hey! I’m Connor. I'm a Firefighter/EMT with pet CPR and First Aid certification. I live in my own home in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a large, securely fenced backyard. Both the house and yard were recently redone, so everything is safe, clean, and ready for your pet. Every dog I care for gets a tracking tag for extra peace of mind. During meals, all dogs are separated, and the home is kept neat, hazard-free, and even safe for those expert counter surfers! The space can also be easily divided if dogs need a little personal time. If you’re looking for someone responsible and experienced who can handle whatever situations pets throw your way - you’ve found the right person. The two priorities for your visit will be your dogs safety and plenty of photo and video updates so you know they're doing well! I live with my yellow lab Kygo. He’s super friendly, loves to play with all our visitors, and knows when to give space if another dog needs it. My cousin Patrick also lives with me so there's always someone in the house to keep an eye on your pup. I’ve raised many well trained dogs over the years, mostly Labs, using positive reinforcement and lots of patience instead of harsh discipline. As a firefighter I'm always over the top careful about things and its no different when it comes to my dogs. So if any medical issues or situations pop up I'll be sure to have medical info from you in advance so we can make sure your dog is taken care of. I am very familiar with the 24/7 vets in the area and their different specialties should something require immediate attention. We have a great dog walking area just down the street and my neighborhood is low traffic. Your dog will get several walks a day and lots of play time in the fenced in yard. I'll make sure you're kept in the know with plenty of pictures and updates and will always respond promptly to texts and calls. I know its nervewracking leaving your BFF with a new person so feel free to stop by the house to meet Kygo and me and see the yard. Drop me a line and we can chat, facetime, meet, or whatever puts you at ease. Looking forward to working with you and meeting your pet! I am often available for last minute bookings as well as weekends and holidays. So if the need arises so feel free to put in any last minute or holiday requests. Pets are always fed, given water, and walked and any special instructions provided by owner are taken care of. Directions always clarified to make sure we're on same page. Have worked with plenty of dogs with allergies and preventive measures taken with dogs that require extra attention!

About: I've owned a dog since I was young, giving me first-hand experience with daily care and understanding canine behavior. This has led my friends to entrust me with their dogs while they're away. I am currently a full-time student and work part-time at Union County College (UCNJ) in Cranford. I am completely unavailable on Tuesdays and Fridays. On other days, I prefer to schedule appointments after 2:00 PM on weekdays and after 7:00 AM on weekends. Before the appointment day, I will send a one-time PDF sign-up sheet through your preferred method of contact, so I know exactly what you’re looking for in my dog-care services. This sheet will also serve as a reference for future visits.

About: My name is Christine and I've been working in pet care- dog walking, pet/house sitting and even dog grooming for 5+ years. I worked as a dog washer at In and Out Grooming in Garwood and am an avid dog walker. I've been a dog owner, and find pet care to be the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I love all breeds, and though I am small in stature I love walking big dogs! I can provide nail clippings and also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits. I have a very flexible schedule, outside of pet care I am pursuing a career in theater. Extremely flexible schedule! I have free daytime hours, while working on a theater schedule. Great for daytime walks and drop ins. Weekends available, don't hesitate to request! I have house sitting experience to keep your pets company while you're away! I've worked with many breeds and personalities of pet in the place they are most comfortable, happy to just spend time with them and adapt to their routines. I also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits.

About: I’ve been trusted to care for dogs through family, friends, and neighbors over the years. From daily walks to overnight stays, I’ve gained experience making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs of different personalities and energy levels — whether it’s giving them plenty of exercise or just keeping them company at home. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to their needs. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. On the days I’m available, I have the freedom to provide walks, playtime, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, extra exercise, or just some company, I can adjust to their routine and make sure they’re well cared for. I live in a first-floor condo that’s fully dog-proofed, so pets can relax and explore safely without worry of injury. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and will always have a cozy space to feel at home. Since I work from home, I can keep a close eye on them throughout the day, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they deserve. Whether at my place or yours, I treat every pet like family and make their well-being my top priority. I don’t have any pets in the apartment so there will be no conflicts with another animal.

First time using Rover. Needed dog walker on short notice and Anthony was able to fit us in. He quickly responded to all our communications. Our dog needs to be persuaded to walk (especially with a new walker) and Anthony was very patient and got her to go on her walk. Overall, very happy with Anthony.
