Dog Walkers in Tabernacle, NJ

About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets. I will play, pet, and walk with your dogs as needed, and enjoy every second of it. If needed to be in a crate i will place a toy with them and provide a treat if allowed.

“Phillip took us on with very little notice and did an amazing job of looking after Titan.”

“This is a second review. After 18 months of working from home, my 10 year old Shitzu/Terrier has gotten more anxious with others. Jill walked him for the first time since Oct 2020. My dog responded very well and as usually Jill was great with my anxious little guy. Jill is just great with him!”

“Amanda was fantastic! Perfect person to hire. Would again and will again!”

“Caroline is doing a great job walking our energetic young lab. She has been a lifesaver for us since my husband injured his leg and will be temporarily disabled. We are very pleased with her service, advice and excellent communication.”

About: I have taken care of both of my family dogs and our cat for around 10 years now. I have also cared for family friend's animals when they were away walking, feeding, and watching them. I am currently in school full time but have plenty of time throughout the week, as well as weekends, to care for all of your pets! I will not take more than one dog at a time for a walk if requested so that it is guaranteed there will be no issues with other dogs.

“Kierstyn was on time and Bodie enjoyed his walks everyday with her. We were pleased with the Rover services and will definitely use Kierstyn again when needed. As a new pet owner of a rehomed big boy it was reassuring that all went well.”

“Ash did an amazing job walking my two dogs this week. They took to her immediately (which was a great relief to me since one of my dogs suffers from extreme separation anxiety). She took them for long walks on the beach every day, which they both love so much. I will definitely use her again whenever I need a dog walker! I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I grew up with dogs and have been around animals my entire life, so caring for them feels natural to me. I currently have my own dog, Ralphie, and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Ralphie has anxiety, so I’ve learned a lot about patience, routines, reading behavior cues, and helping dogs feel calm and comfortable in new situations. I also have experience with pets who need extra care and medication. My family cared for a diabetic dog for years, so I’m familiar with consistent schedules, attentive monitoring, and specialized needs. I also care for a cat with hypothyroidism, so administering medication and keeping routines on track is something I’m comfortable with. Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and extra attention during visits. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves playtime, needs a calm reassuring presence, or requires extra care, I’ll treat them like family. Based in North Wildwood and available throughout nearby shore towns including Wildwood, Wildwood Crest, Cape May, Stone Harbor, and surrounding areas. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I work remotely so I have a flexible schedule during the week and can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and extra attention during visits. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. I know how important it is for pets to feel loved and understood. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I focus on creating a calm, happy experience. I learn your pet’s personality, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe. From snuggles to playtime to quiet companionship, I’m there to give them the care they deserve.

About: I've taken care of animals for neighbors, family, and friends for some time. I am reliable and flexible with schedules to accommodate early mornings or late nights. I'm currently part time with a flexible schedule and happy to fit anything I can into it. Just reach out to me and we can discuss the circumstances. I have a fenced yard and a friendly small 40lb labradoodle, with lots of space to sprawl and nap inside the house as well. I live in a neighborhood and have space to take dogs on long or short walks.

“Very responsive and great with our dog. Highly recommend Kate!”

“Alaya and Lily not only made my first rover experience a breeze but took excellent care of Balto. Will definitely book again”

About: Hi! I'm spending the summer in Wildwood with my family and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chinchillas, so caring for animals has been a part of my everyday life since I was young. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just keeping a pet company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, playtime, and house sitting services. I'll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, affection, and care while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. While I can't offer boarding because my family home is already full of furry friends, I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets in the place where they're most comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I do work a full 9-5 job and am out of the house from 8-6 everyday. I can do nightly dog walking during the weeks and can board dogs for those busy weekend or weekend getaways. I am currently living in a two bedroom apartment. My building is located just across the street from a park where we can go out to run around and play. Pets are allowed on the couch but will not be allowed on the bed.

Here's a few things I do for my babies ( & that I'll do for yours! ) ( things list are as permitted, they are not necessary! ) • trips to dog park or open field ( play catch, frisbee, etc ) • multiple walks, multiples times a day, as long as needed or wanted ! ( my dogs usually do 1-2 miles per walk! ) • mental stimulation / brain stimulation toys or and activity boards • frozen treats on the deck • independent play • co play • trips to local pet-friendly facilities or events! • bath every 3-4 days or 1 a week!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life I love to pet , brush & play with all kinds. A nice long walk is always needed or just some playtime. I’m a stay at home mom of all adult children who also love all kinds of animals. I’m available any time of day or night.I spend most of the summer away so my availability will be based on what type of care is needed. I have a large fenced in yard ( when watching pups in my Bucks county Pa home) for them to run and play in or I'm available to go to your home for feeding, walks & check ins. We are a dog & cat friendly home.

About: I have had my first dog since I was eleven years old, and I have had my second dog for two years. Since I have had experience with taking care of pets for so long, I am confident in my dog walking and sitting abilities. I also have experience with both smaller and bigger dogs with different energy levels because my older dog is a yorkie and my second dog is a Siberian Husky that my family rescued. Therefore, I understand the difference in pet personalities and how to handle them. I am currently employed, however, I am still available during most weekdays and weekends for dog/cat sitting and dog walking during the day and at night. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as I would want for my own. I am sure to give every pet attention, exercise, and adhere to the pet's usual routine.

“Marlena came to the rescue when we needed last-minute assistance with dog walking. She’s super communicative, incredibly polite, and she was great with our dog. He enjoyed his long walks with her. Will book again!”

About: I have been taking care of pets (and kids!) for the past 10+ years. I am reliable, trustworthy, and love puppy cuddles. I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I currently have full availability as I am home for the summer. I plan to continue to pet sit for the remainder of the year! I am available to care for your fur babies in your home but unfortunately cannot care for them in my own home. I always plan a meet and greet before accepting any bookings.

“Katie was great with my Lila! Will definitely try to use her again when im in the area!”

About: DOG WALKING AND DROP IN’S AVAILABLE ON CAPE ISLAND ONLY. We still can’t board dogs. Our home is now on Airbnb. But I’m available to walk small dogs or slow:older big dogs. You can get to know me from Reviews and info still listed. ALSO NEW! as of January 19 2024! One of our clients who has left his dog with us many times had an unexpected move and was not able to take his dog with him. He asked us if we would consider taking her. Minnie is super easy and loves other dogs and us…so she is now a part of our family…and pet sitting business. So please consider this as you read below. Minnie is small. About 25#. Spayed. She’s a short haired mix. And will be a part of all Meet&Greets here going forward and for those who will be doggie houseguests with us. (Her photo is the second one in our photo section). We. Love. Dogs. It’s that simple. We care for every dog who comes to stay with us like they are our own. We only take one boarding dog at a time so we can focus all our care and attention on your dog. The house is only one floor so no dog is ever far from us or our generous affection. Sunny rooms. Open windows. Well worn couches and dog beds are available or you can bring their own bed with them. We accommodate crates if your dog uses one. It’s best if you bring their crate with them and familiar bedding with the smells of their home. Our back deck is sunny&shady and the dogs love lounging out there. They can access the fenced-in yard from the deck or living room. Walks through the fields are lush with wonderful smells and DOGS LOVE TO SMELL!! And their walks are far from traffic. NOTE ABOUT WALKS We have 3 acres of open land for a dog to run. But we never leave a dog run off-leash on a walk unless we’ve had the dog several times and know him/her very well. Therefore we cannot accommodate a high energy dog who needs to do a lot of running offleash for their daily exercise unless we have had them several times and trust them to stick with us, We prefer to take dogs that live locally so that we can meet them before committing to a stay. We start with a Meet&Greet. This consists of an hour visit where we get to know your dog and how you care for them. Next we ask that you leave them with us on another day for a few hours so we again get to know the dog and s/he gets to know us. Lastly is a one night sleepover. A full 24-hour stay. This builds a bit of bonding and trust for the dog as well as us. It also solidifies that we all feel confident with each other. There are no charges for these preliminary visits. Most dogs who come to stay with us for the first time are a bit unsure. Though not for long. Dogs sorta “love the one they’re with” and enjoy new company and new territory. But some have terrible separation anxiety. They really can’t adjust and struggle trying to. If this is the case we would recommend your dog stay in their home and you seek out a pet sitter that can come stay in the home with your dog while you’re away. SO ABOUT US! Mike and I are animal-people. We have had a wide assortment of pets of every kind growing up. We remember our childhood dogs as our best friends and confidants. Likewise, our children grew up in the midst of a lovely menagerie of all kinds of animals, that also included rescuing cats, birds, rabbits, turtles, squirrels...and a particular ferret. But of all domestic animals we find dogs to be the most special beings on the planet! Our last little dog Lily passed away early August 2022. We still have a cat that’s outside more than in and is fine with dogs. She was a refugee from the streets of Atlantic City and she comes round for meals and a good head scratch. But we miss all our dogs! Not sure when or if we will get another dog so in the meantime we’re thoroughly enjoying all the dogs we get to care for through Rover!! We’ve also fostered many dogs. Our most memorable fosters were those from puppy mills. Timid and often abused..yet love can change a dog and they eventually became happy souls and found wonderful homes. Our foster-failure Jack...a skinny yellow Lab... who was only 6 hours away from being euthanized when he was rescued by Dick Harris...a man who had a passion for Labs….was special and he was ours to keep the minute he stepped foot in the house. I served on the Board of Ocean City Humane Society as well as volunteered with that local shelter for many years when we lived in Ocean City, NJ. I launched my own pet sitting biz Sitting4paws in 2009 which kept me busy year round. As part of that business we also took dogs into our home as doggy house guests for many who were on vacation in Ocean City or traveling out of town. Many of those dogs came and stayed with us for years. They were like family. (Testimonials from some of these clients are included). A shoulder injury and our move to Cape May NJ put this business on hold. But we are now back in the biz and love opening our hearts and home to your dog. Moving to Morning Glory Farm in 2019 from Ocean City NJ has been a dream-come-true. Our 3 acre farm in the rural countryside of Cape May is an ongoing restoration project. But we're far enough along now to reboot the pet sitting biz and chose Rover.com to be our launch pad in this digital age. Though we’re rural, we are only 2-3 miles from downtown Cape May City. Between us and downtown is the quaint hamlet of West Cape May and the ever-charming Cape May Point. At the end of our road is Higbees Beach which is a free-dog-friendly stretch of pristine coast with hiking trails all through the forest preserve. 10 months out of the year it’s a quiet retreat to walk a dog offleash…but come summer, ITS PACKED!! But if your dog loves to romp with others then pack a picnic, pick up your dog from us and head for Higbees! We’ll hose him off when he comes back. We are quiet people. We don’t even have a tv! Mike is a carpenter and is often working in his shop in the barn or in our large veggie&fruit garden. We are also bee keepers and we sell our own local honey and eggs from our sweet batch of hens. I work our pet sitting biz full-time and I am the primary caretaker of the dogs that are booked with us which includes their daily walking and feeding. PLEASE NOTE! I do not keep my phone on me during my busy days. I check it for text messages, phone calls or Rover inquiries TWICE A DAY. So if you do not hear immediately back from me this is why. I will respond to any bookings or questions before the end of every day, if not sooner. . We also ask that your dog have a collar with ID tag that s/he can wear at all times. Even if their harness has a tag. Also flea and tick treatment while staying with us. Even if it’s only a one time dose.
