Dog Walking Wharton

About: With over 14 years of personal pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy and thriving. For over a decade, I lovingly cared for my own dog through all stages of life, and I have spent years fostering dogs of various breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments. Fostering has taught me how to be incredibly patient, how to read canine body language, and how to help anxious or shy dogs feel safe in a new environment. I treat every guest with the same dedicated, individualized care I gave my own pets and fosters.🐾🐶 I currently work part-time, which gives me a very consistent and reliable daily routine. I am fully available every single day during the afternoon from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, making me the perfect fit for midday potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have plenty of extra time in the evenings during the weekend for dinner feedings or cozy companionship! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, so I do my best to keep their usual routine consistent—including feeding times, walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks—to help ease any stress or separation anxiety. I also make sure your home stays secure by keeping doors locked and ensuring pets are safely inside before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in caring hands! 🐕

“Mike walks Cali on a regular basis. Cali loves going on walks with Mike and is happy to see him. This particular walk was requested last minute. Mike was flexible and said he would help right away. He even asked if Cali needed to eat as well. It was a huge help and he is a fantastic dog walker!”

“Alondra was a huge help in getting Phoebe's daily walks in! Always right on time and sent pictures and details. She provided us peace of mind and we'd be happy for her to watch Phoebe in the future!”

About: We are a loving and lively household where we will snuggle and play fetch with your pup, take them to the dog park, and keep them happy and occupied. My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.

About: Hi! My name is Alexyss and I have loved animals my entire life. I grew up with big dogs, starting with my golden retriever, Jazzy! My best friend growing up was my pitbull, Whiskey. She was the sweetest dog I’ve ever had and is the reason I’m in love with the breed. She was a rescue that came from a highly abusive environment and it was an honor to make her feel safe for the last years of her life. She picked me as her person out of my family I was living with and the bond we shared is something I will miss everyday for the rest of my life. We then had Luna, who was a medium sized lab/pit mix and adopted from what I assume to be a hoarding/neglect situation down South. She tragically passed away at the young age of 6 due to medical complications following a surgery in 2021. All of those dogs profoundly changed my life and made me understand dogs on a deeper level. I am so sad to update that my baby Smudge crossed the rainbow bridge at 20-years old on 11/09/2025 and it still feels like it was yesterday. She was my entire world — my first personal pet and first cat ever. I adopted her from the family I babysat for in college when they moved across the country. At that time she was 14 and I had known her for two years already. I immediately did preventative medical care on her to ensure she lived a long, happy and comfortable last years of her life. It prides me to say that her vet told me multiple times that I am the reason she had lived exceptionally healthy until 20. Her labs were always remarkable up until the last three visits, the last in which I made the difficult decision to put her to sleep due to sudden diagnoses that came on quick. I brought her to her vet every 6 months and ensured she was healthy. I adjusted my home with adding stairs to the bed and couch to accommodate her needs as she wasn’t able to do the same things she was able to as a younger senior. It was an honor to be her mom. I did anything and everything for Smudge to ensure she was healthy and happy. I took daily notes on her health and consistently did my own basic exams on her at home. I am still heavily grieving the loss of her in many ways. ❤️‍🩹 In 2019, I started working for Veterinary Emergency Group as an ER Vet Receptionist. Through this extensive experience, I learned to identify emergencies and the level of severity. I’ve been able to help owners through communication that was compassionate while also being transparent. I was the first person to see the animals come in, and would immediately recognize which animals were in distress when their owners did not realize it. The many times I’ve acted off of instinct mixed with experience saved those fur babies in that moment so that they could get proper medical attention. In these instances, I would also jump in to assist in the critical case in any way I can. I then quickly moved onto be an ER Veterinary Assistant. I did everything I was allowed to do as an assistant. That included performing CPR, manual ventilation, assistance with emergency and non-emergency intubation, preparing for surgery, assisting with outpatient procedures, full-time nursing for the PARVO pups, full-time nursing for 15+ patients with the help of a tech, and WAY more. I’ve seen it all and done it all (all that I was legally allowed to do of course). It was intense and heartbreaking, hence why I switched gears into the social services field. I’d love to provide compassionate, loving and attentive care for your pet(s). I want for you to be able to go out and enjoy yourself without feeling worried sick about your fur baby. I can ensure you that I will treat and love them like my own. And with my ER experience, you can rest assured that I will be able to identify if your animal is in need of immediate medical attention and will take them to receive it. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am willing to work around your needs. The earlier the notice, the better so I can properly schedule. I can follow whatever rules you have in place for your fur baby and will ensure to double check with you if I have any questions. I ask that you please be as transparent and honest with me as you can about your pet’s triggers or potential aggression. I have worked with plenty of aggressive animals, but it makes it much SAFER and easier for both your pet and I if I am aware of these things. I have had instances in which I was bit badly after being told the animal was friendly. So I truly appreciate honesty and will be more willing to work with you if you are upfront about your pet.

“Our Boston terrier absolutely LOVES Jaylynn! Going away for a week, we left our pup at home with a relative who couldn’t take him in regular walks, but Jaylynn came every day to tire him out. She was prompt, communicative, and flexible. 10/10 would recommend”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like family. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets with special care needs, including giving medications and following specific routines. I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with animals—whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I provide regular updates so you have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking dogs on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep them safe, comfortable, and give them plenty of attention and care.

About: I have taken care of animals for several years and am a dog mom myself. I know how difficult it can be to find both a reliable and competent sitter when you need one, so I’m here to help! I can walk your fur baby around the neighborhood/local park, feed & play with them too. I can also administer medications they may need. I recently moved back to NJ from Florida so I am available 7 days a week throughout the summer until I find a new nursing job. I am available for drop in visits in your home as well as for walks. I am very flexible and will give your pet the very same care that you would provide. Just let me know about your pet/their needs & behaviors and I’ll be sure to take care of the rest. I know that having a routine is very important so I’ll also make sure to always be on time.

“Erin is super professional, kind, responsive, and went out of her way to accommodate a walk request. She asked really important questions and is a fellow dog owner herself. My dog absolutely loved her and I trust her implicitly. I highly recommend Erin for all your pet care needs!”

About: Ive been giving out love to every pup possible, for as long as I can remember. Dogs have been my true passion all my life and nothing makes me happier, than getting to meet new ones and give them love. I am a vet tech and absolutely love what I do. Caring for animals of all size, age, and condition is what makes me happy. With being a vet tech, I have experience with administering medication, care of many health conditions, and caring for dogs of all sizes and age. I do work full time, but have a pretty flexible schedule of days and times. My work schedule is the same weekly with alternating Saturdays. I feed pets and keep to their schedule, when it’s breakfast or dinner time for them. I also give lots of attention, walk, and play with them.

“Julie did a great job. She and my dog connected right away and I felt safe and secure with having him be in her care. She was responsive, professional and follow-through on all that we agreed on. I highly recommend her and will be calling upon her in the future as the need presents itself.”
