“Nicole is an amazing and dependable dog walker. She is my regular dog walker when I got into the office and she takes great care of my puppy. She spends quality time with Baxter and always follows our process to keep him on his routine. He loves her! Couldn’t recommend her more.”


2. Eleni C.

“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”

13. Daniela A.
About: I have been an avid animal lover since I received my first puppy as a child. I taught my beloved spaniel how to sit and lay down, and he taught me patience and responsibility. I cared for him until he sadly left us at 17 years old. My experience taught me that our fur babies are here for such a short time, and they deserve the absolute best we can give them. I have extended this mindset into my care of several other pets throughout my life including my four cats and bonus fur babies that I pet sit. My current clients range from small to large breed dogs. I have gained extensive experience with senior pets and the special needs that come with them as well as pets with medical needs. As a college student working part time, I hope to expand my business and do what I love full time. I currently work 9-5 part-time, leaving me with plenty of free time including weekends. I am flexible in my schedule and availability, and always strive to provide pets in my care with as much attention and care as they would receive in their homes. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of indoor space. I have four friendly cats of my own but available space to keep pets in my care separate in the case that they are less then enthusiastic about cats. I offer in house pet sitting as well to those who prefer their fur babies to remain in their own environment. I have a valid NJ Driver's license and a reliable vehicle large enough to transport big breeds. Additionally I have plenty of experience administering medications and treatments safely.


14. Mike W.

“Mike has been very reliable and responsive, and Maya seems to really take to him easily. Will definitely have Maya walking with him regularly!”


15. Silvia P.
“Silvia is a very caring and attentive individual. She is meticulous when it comes to the care and well being of the animal. She will ensure they are taken care of as she does with her own pet.”


16. Carleigh M.

“Carleigh is a great dog walker, she was caring and timely. I was able to trust her with handling my dog and staying on top of the walks. I will certainly use her again.”




17. Trisha L.

“Trisha is absolutely wonderful! My 3 dogs (a pit bull, Ridgeback and chihuahua) loved her instantly. I never had someone else care for my dogs as long as I've had them so I was a bit nervous but Trisha made me feel so comfortable. I work 12 hour days and my husband left the country for a month and I would have been lost without her! 5 days a week at noon and she was always in time and sent photos! She took the time to give one of my dogs (who had to be put to sleep that month) so much extra love and attention because I couldn't be there. I thought I had to make the decision alone but she was there to help me through it, comfort me and check up on me. She goes above and beyond for her clients and their babies. She's the best!”


18. Nicole M.

“Nicole did a great job with my dog and would definately use her again!”


19. Jade J.
“Jade is a perfect candidate for Rover.com and I highly recommend her as a dog caregiver. She has been a perfect doggie parent to Ralph, he has a ton of energy and loves his long walks and hikes but there is nothing better than watching Ralph snuggle on the sofa. When away Jade has helped to look after my pets and is very reliable, she takes the time to keep me updated and I never have to worry. I trust Jade and believe she has the patience and personality to manage and look after all types of dogs.”


20. Jessie A.
“Amazing caregiver and a great personality! She is great with dogs and has lots of experience from fostering that gain our trust. Would recommend to anyone”
