Dog Walkers in Villas, NJ

“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!”

“Anne had been a God send to me since I broke my ankle and can not walk my pup! Frankie gets so excited when she comes to pick her up. She is a super anxious pup and doesn’t just take to anybody so I’m thankful for Anne!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and have been caring for them for years. What sets me apart is the genuine passion and experience I bring to every pet I look after. Whether it’s training playful puppies, making senior dogs feel comfortable, or just giving lots of love and attention, I treat every dog like part of our family. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always our top priorities. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very easily because I have flexible schedules, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I am able to give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. In some cases, even my roommate can help out if needed, making sure there’s always someone available to look after your pet. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with them by my side, and to me, they’ve never just been pets — they’re family. I honestly feel like the love and loyalty you get from a dog is something truly special, and sometimes I realize I’ve trusted and cared for dogs more easily than some people! In just the last few years, I’ve had the joy of caring for over 30 different dogs, each one leaving a little pawprint on my heart. Every dog has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique — whether they’re shy and gentle or playful and full of energy. When I’m taking care of your dog, whether at my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and happy — like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away. I’m big on keeping routines, because I know how important it is for dogs to feel at home. If there are any special diets, medications, or habits your pup needs, just let me know — I’ll stick to them closely. I’ll also send lots of photo and text updates because I know how much it means to see that your dog is doing well. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own — with love, patience, playtime, and plenty of cuddles if they want them. Can’t wait to meet your best friend and make sure they have the best time while you’re away!

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch, I’ve done it all. My experience includes walking, in-home sitting, and boarding, so I’m comfortable adjusting to each dog’s unique needs and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and ability to build trust quickly with dogs and their owners. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds, shy or anxious pups, and dogs that need medication or special care. I’m also extremely flexible with scheduling, which makes it easier for pet parents with busy or unpredictable routines. Whether your dog needs long walks, lots of playtime, snuggles, or just a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’m here to help—and treat your pup like family. Here’s a strong and thoughtful response you can use for the question “How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine?”: --- Pet care is a big part of my daily life and something I truly enjoy. I make it a priority in my schedule and structure my day around the needs of the dogs I care for. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I’m flexible and fully committed to being available when pet parents need me. Since I offer walking, sitting, and boarding, I stay active throughout the week and keep a consistent routine for each dog. I love building long-term relationships with pets and their owners, and I always make sure every pup gets the attention, play, and care they deserve—every single Great question — here's a strong, well-rounded answer for “How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client’s home?” based on the services you offer: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that keeps pets happy and stress-free. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play, rest, and routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any medication needs. I also make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and affection while they’re with me — it's truly a home away from home.

“Kate has been a a godsend. She takes such good care of my two dogs - walking them, feeding them and keeping them company. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: Ive grown up with dogs my whole life. Ive been around dogs of all sizes and ages. Ive had many dogs growing up such as french bulldogs, chihuahuas, miniature pinschers and many more. I’m frequently told how well i am with dogs and i love that compliment! I work mostly mornings for my own cleaning company. So i have some mornings free and afternoons and what better than spending that time with dogs! My house has a very large fenced in yard with two separate sections for dogs who aren’t so friendly with my own dogs! We have tons of toys and are a house away from the beach for nice walks.

“Deanna was great. She met me ahead of time to meet my dogs and get familiar with our place. She sent pictures of our babies which was really nice! I would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had Labs and Goldens my entire life. Worked 20 years as a vet tech. I understand that your pet is not just a pet but a part of the family. I just moved back to NJ after being away for 15 years. I am currently unemployed and would love to spend time with your pet. I can do whatever service that is best for your situation however I do not have a fenced in yard so if your dog likes to spend alot of time outside it’s probably best to do it at your house.
