Dog Walkers in Swedesboro, NJ

About: I grew up with dogs + cats and have experience raising puppies, handling senior dogs, and dogs with minor special needs (mobility issues and vision-impaired). I have worked with animal rescues as a foster for dogs as well! As for cats, I have fostered nearly 50 kittens and adult cats, and have experience with special needs cats! I also have experience with animals such as rabbits, lizards, fish, guinea pigs/hamsters. I currently have no form of employment and can spare most of my time for pet-care. I am willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and playtime or dog walks! I cannot do boarding as I have animals of my own and avoiding a potential problem is the priority. My pets are well-cared for and since they all came from rescues, their specific needs are taken into account. The cats have their own separate litter boxes, the dogs get plenty of playtime and sunshine. As for a client’s home, I will make sure that their pets are loved as if they are my own and I will keep the home clean if any accidents occur. Important information such as diets, recommended outside time, and general schedules for the animals will be taken into account and treated very seriously.

“Diana was wonderful to have to walk both my dogs, it was a last minute decision to use Rover for the first time and I’m happy I gave it a try. I would def recommend Diana and would surely use her again in the future. Thanks for everything!”

“Tommy is really awesome! I really appreciate the updates during her walks while I’m at work. He makes sure my dog uses the bathroom each visit and that’s a relief for me. Thanks for being so great with Luna I’m sure she looks forward to every walk!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 4-years old. Since then, I have volunteered at animal shelters, worked at animal shelters, watched dogs for my friends and family, and have owned a dog for most of my life. I adopted my first cat in 2020, and currently have 5. I have a Ph.D. in Biology which helps to understand the internal processes of animals. I am available most Saturdays, Sundays, and some Friday evenings. I enjoy walking and working with dogs and/or dogs. I am outgoing and very approachable, making it easy for me to befriend every type of dog or cat! I work full-time during the week, but my weekends are typically very flexible to walk a dog, feed a pet, or spend time with your animal. Growing up, I would help walk my dogs at least once a day, sometimes three times a day. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules as well as ensure that the pets are let out at the appropriate times. I currently have five cats, whom I clean the litter boxes for at least once a day and ensure they are fed properly at consistent times.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and started sitting over a decade ago. I will always meet your pet where they are in terms of their need for attention and affection. I have experience in giving liquid and pill meds, as well as IV fluids to cats. I am an active person, and have no problem with log walks or runs for dogs. My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to a variety of needs. I am a professor with a flexible schedule and work primarily from home, especially in the summer, so I can typically adapt my schedule to what your needs are. I will always respect both your home, and your pets needs in your home. I know that your home is their territory, and I am a guest to them, so I will never force myself on to them or into a space they may not want me in.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. I had my own dog sitting and walking business from ages 14-19 and then stopped dog walking when I adopted my first dog. Now, we have 3 dogs, and I would love to help other families with their fur babies! My husband and I work full time but will be available on weekends. We also can provide services in the late afternoon/evening. My husband and I will both be assisting, and will make time for you and your babies! I work remotely 2-3 times a week. We’re best able to assist with boarding, on Fridays and the weekends. We can dog walk on the weekends and evenings. During the weekday, our availability is more limited given our full time jobs. We can care for a few dogs at a time, if you are comfortable with it! If not, let us know and we can limit our care to just your pet! We have a large, fenced yard! We also have 3 friendly dogs of our own! They are our family! We are respectful of other people’s homes and their family members.

“Abby has been amazing with Hunter! He’s always excited to see her for their walks together. She treats him like he is her own! I highly recommend using Abby for all your pets needs.”

About: Since I was a little kid in 70s south Jersey I've been fascinated with animals of every kind! I became a vet tech and later studied animal behavior as a grad student at Temple University. I've loved & cared for every type of friend, from mice to macaws to mastiff! I'm always home! I have a fully animal friendly area and newly fenced in yard in a very quiet area in the middle of horse country. ***please make sure your pet is up to date on flea & tick medication *** *** Please contact me if you had already reserved a booking but now see I've closed for reservations*** I am always home. 24/7. This means there's never a chance your loved one will ever be alone under my care. Taking care of animals has always been my happy place, so my goal is to make this the happiest place for them to visit. ** Due to the mystery respiratory virus impacting dogs across the United States, I strongly recommend that dogs be updated on bordatella and flu vaccines & that you check with your vet before boarding or taking your dog to a groomer or dog park.** My yard was securely fenced last year. My entire house is dedicated to Rover, so your family member doesn't have to interact with anyone they don't want to. There are pet friendly sofas and beds in safe areas, each with its own TV! Bordatella aka kennel cough is an easily transmitted virus in dogs. Because of its long incubation period (2-14 days) it is recommended that you vaccinate your dog every 6 months and at least 2 weeks prior to boarding. No dog pet owner, dog park, veterinary office, kennel or any public places that permit dogs can promise to not expose your pet to kennel cough.

About: Dog sitting has been a side hustle and hobby for about 4 years now. I have experience watching older/handicap dogs as well as young and energetic dogs. I am currently in college, but most of my classes are remote so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dog! I will carefully follow all instructions that you give me to insure your dog is safe. I will always make sure to secure leashes and supervise closely.

“My husband and I are very thankful for having Cherish walk our beagle while I was at work, and my husband was temporarily disabled due to a recent surgery. Our beagle has lots of energy, so walks are essential for her during the daytime. Thank you Cherish!”

About: I have been around animals since I was born and have gained experience caring for pets by helping neighbors and family members while they were away. As a student at Rowan College of South Jersey, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to help meet your animal care needs. I am dependable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time caring for animals of all kinds. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding them on their regular schedule, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get proper exercise and attention. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean environment and giving them plenty of affection and supervision. I also follow any specific instructions given by the owner, such as medication schedules, dietary restrictions, or behavior guidelines, to ensure the best possible care.

About: I have experience with owning a large breed & love all dogs. I’ve been the household “dog person” my whole life—I am always watching family dogs, taking walks, or snuggling a fur baby! I am looking for part time work, however in the mean time I am an open book! I am available anytime, most days out of the week. I would be happy to fit your dog into my schedule! I do not offer services in my own home, but I am willing and able to drive to you! I can take your dog on walks, play fetch in the backyard, potty breaks, or cuddles!

About: Hi! I’m Olivia Pierman, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets. For the past two years, I’ve worked with my boyfriend in his kennel business, gaining valuable experience in professional pet care. At home, I’m surrounded by three lively Golden Retrievers and a sweet rescued Pitbull named Molly. They keep me busy and deepen my passion for connecting with animals. What sets me apart? I don’t just care for pets—I bond with them. Whether it’s playtime, special care for seniors, or positive reinforcement training, I’m all about making sure your pets feel loved and happy. I can’t wait to bring that same joy to your furry family members! I’m currently finishing my teaching internship, so I’m in school Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. My boyfriend does this full time and is at the house in the day with the dogs. I’m available for pet care before and after school, as well as on weekends, ensuring your pets get the care they need. I ensure a safe and comfortable environment with a fenced-in yard for secure playtime. Crates are available for pets who prefer their own space. To keep everyone safe, dogs are separated unless they’re being supervised.

About: Aside from having my own pets at home, I also work part time at a kennel/boarding dog service business. This makes me used to working with any low energy senior to a higher energy puppy. I only work part time so I have tons of extra time to take care of dogs & cats everyday besides just the ones I own! I plan to make sure every pet is taken care of in the best least stressful way possible. Since my main job currently already requires me to be on time, giving medicine as needed, and handling feedings I am quite used to matching the dogs day to day routine.

About: I have been pet sitting for the past two years. I have been watching mostly dogs. Most dogs I watch need medication during breakfast and lunch so I am sure to make sure your dogs are being fed and medicated while you are away. I am currently working part time as a substitute teacher so I have a lot of time available to take great care for your dogs. I will make sure your dogs are let out and exercised. I also have no problem walking your dogs and playing with them in your yard.

“Excellent care and service provided by Barry for an unusual and slightly needy cat/dog pair. I will not hesitate to hire him again!”
