“Jon was really great with my temperamental dog. She took right to him and he understood right away that she needed some special care and what her triggers are. Highly recommend Jon”
“We recently hired Claudine as our weekly dog walker and were extremely happy with how the first week went. Our dog, Buster, is a recent adoption, and we were unsure how he would take to a new person walking him when we went back to work, but Claudine was great with him. She was patient and understanding, really taking in his needs to ensure that he felt safe and happy. We are delighted to have Claudine as part of our weekly walking routine with Buster and would highly recommend her for anyone looking into this service.”
“The best!!!! Jackie is a fantastic walker for my special guy. I was able to tell how much she cares just from the meet and greet. Jackie is very punctual, reliable, and flexible. You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”
About: I have two kitties of my own, but have experience with both dogs and cats, including giving extra medical attention to elderly pets. I grew up around animals and absolutely love being around all kinds of pets. Would love to help out with your fur babies! I work full time, but work from home two days a week (W/F) and am available most evenings and weekends. I am very communicative and responsive, and will do my best to accommodate your schedule and needs! If I am in your home, I will be respectful of your space and ensure everything is left clean and how it was upon arrival!
“Mark was great with our dog Luke! We’d just moved so Luke was extra on edge but mark won him over easily. He also was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“I was a bit nervous to use this service as Im very new to owning a dog, my friend introduced me to the app, and Im so happy I found Jonny. I can’t recommend Jonny highly enough! My experience has been fantastic. Jonny is incredibly reliable, always showing up on time, and very polite. My dog absolutely enjoys his walks as well. Jonny also provides detailed updates and photos after each walk, which I appreciate. Five stars all the way!”
“This is the second time Jestine watched my baby and he loves her !!! She takes the best pictures of him on their walks and is very communicative. She’s the best!!!”

Doug & Luiz Pet care is part of our everyday routine. One of us is home throughout the day so dogs receive consistent supervision and attention. Our mornings usually begin around 6 AM with potty breaks, feeding, and short walks. Throughout the day we rotate outdoor time, play sessions, and rest periods depending on each dog’s energy level. Because our home is set up specifically for dog boarding and daycare, we can easily adjust routines for medications, feeding schedules, extra potty breaks, or dogs that prefer quieter space. Dogs staying with us enjoy a safe and comfortable home environment with plenty of supervised attention. We have a large fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and an additional floor of our home is dedicated to the dogs. This allows us to separate guests when needed and provide quiet space for dogs who prefer their own area. We follow each dog’s routine closely and take time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort level so they can settle in quickly.
About: Local New Jersey young adult just to make the most out of her free time! I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and have ton of experience with animals of all kind! When I was in college, I worked as a dog walker and it was the best job ever. I’m trustworthy, honest, and experienced. Unfortunately, in my current situation I cannot commit to having a pet of my own, so I’m super committed to making sure that your adorable animal friend will have the best time with me. I even have experience with training pets! Any techniques that you’re using with your pet, you can trust that I’ll continue their training when you are away! Look forward to hearing from you! I currently work from home full-time and have tons of flexibility within the day. You can trust that I’ll always be just a few minutes away :) From potty training, to leash training, to learning how to sit, or even caring for elderly dogs, I have proficient experience in it all! Whichever technique or schedules your animal friend needs, I’ll be more than happy to help
“I knew from the second we met Kelsey that she would be fabulous. She loves my dogs like they are her own. She’s very responsible, always on time and my two boys love her.”
“Jade is an excellent and very caring animal lover who goes above and beyond to make sure our mini poodle, Ruthie is taken care of. She is trustworthy, reliable and kind. We highly recommend her!”
“Anya is great to work with! She was great with our 1-year-old mini Aussie, and she follows our instructions on walks while keeping it fun. Would recommend working with her!”

“PRICELESS 😀. Super attentive with my rescue with so much anxiety Sarah sends me updates on her every reaction to street stressors and administers medication even when I have forgotten. She also shares the progress my little one has made. 5 stars. Highly recommend Sarah.”
About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.

Annie was an absolute hero, swooping in when I most needed her!! Random double shift meant I needed someone to check on my two dogs, and she went above and beyond, giving me a detailed post-walk run down and a million pictures of my babies. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Annie!
Our pet is friendly, well-socialized, and used to a consistent routine. They respond well to structure, positive reinforcement, and regular activity, and they do best with someone who is attentive and patient. Dayra was a great fit because she is responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She’s attentive to details, follows routines carefully, and is very observant of behavior and needs. Dayra is calm, trustworthy, and takes commitment seriously, which makes her well-suited to providing a safe, caring, and stable environment for our pet.
Another amazing visit with Andrea! Laney loves her and they had a great time. While we were away, my mother and son were also present for Andrea’s visits and remarked how kind and friendly she was in addition to her great care of Laney. Thank you Andrea for being part of the village that allows us to step away every so often!
I had Taylor come walk our dog, Lola, and from the moment they met, Lola gravitated toward her. She immediately felt Taylor’s calm, kind energy , she’s soft-spoken, gentle, and very easy-going. By the time Taylor left, Lola was giving her hugs and kisses! It went so well that I booked her again the very next day for an earlier walk. Taylor was on time, super communicative, and Lola actually cried with excitement when she saw her again. We’re so happy to have potentially found our go-to dog walker!
