Dog Walkers in Wood-Ridge, NJ

“Jing was amazing. She sent a lot of updates and photos which helped me feel comfortable leaving my pups while I was at work during the day. They were happy and well taken care of when I got home!”

“Anna is the best walker in town. Couldn’t be happier with her service. She’s extremely communicative and reliable. We fully trust her with our precious fur baby.”

About: I have 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from brand new puppies to beloved seniors who need extra support. I’m reliable, patient, and very detail oriented, and I always follow your routines exactly to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have puppy training experience, so I can help reinforce the cues and habits you’re already working on perfect for keeping your training consistent. For senior dogs, I offer gentle, attentive care, whether they need medication reminders, slower walks, or just a calm presence throughout the day. What sets me apart is the way I tailor every visit to each dog and each household. No two dogs are the same, and I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog thrives on structured play, needs quiet companionship, or prefers a predictable routine, I adjust my approach to match what works best for them and for you. You can count on clear communication, reliability, and genuine care. Your dog stays safe, relaxed, and understood. You stay updated and worry-free. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my entire day is structured around giving each pet the attention they deserve. I don’t overbook or cram visits together, I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can stay reliable, punctual, and fully present with every animal I care for. Spacing out visits allows me to maintain a calm, stress-free routine and gives me room to handle any unexpected needs that might come up, such as extra cleanup, weather changes, mobility issues, or a pet who needs a little more time and reassurance that day. Your pet never feels rushed, and you never have to worry about me balancing other jobs or squeezing you in. This is what I do, all day, every day. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I care for pets in their own home because that’s where they feel most secure, confident, and relaxed. I follow your routines exactly, feeding times, walks, medications, training cues, preferred routes, and house rules , so everything stays familiar and predictable for your pet. I pay close attention to details like behavior changes, energy levels, appetite, and overall mood, and I communicate anything I notice. I’m extremely reliable, gentle, and respectful of your home, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always handled carefully. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and understood, and you feel completely confident trusting me in your home.

“Yong was amazing!!! I’m always nervous about finding a new dog sitter/walker but Yong immediately put us at ease and my dog loved him. He was super dependable, gave lots of updates, always punctual and clearly loves animals and wants to take care of them. Will definitely reach out to again!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

“Ms. Xunzi was super kind and super wonderful the whole time my dog went for a walk with her! She kept me updated throughout the walk and sent me pictures as well. Definitely will book again! Thank you so much”

About: I am an experienced pet owner with 3 cats and 1 dog, whom I care for daily with love and attention. I frequently look after my friends' cats, from playful kittens to senior felines, handling tasks such as feeding, playing, medication administration, and litter box maintenance. I am also familiar with automatic litter boxes like the Litter Robot and can troubleshoot any issues. I am dedicated to providing excellent care for all pets, treating each one as if they were my own. My Border Collie gets plenty of mental and physical stimulation every day, as I take walking, sniffing, running, and playing seriously because these activities are essential for dogs! Watching dogs play and run together truly brightens my day. I love training dogs and learning all about them. I work from home full-time, which means my schedule is very flexible. I'm happy to arrange my day around your needs to care for furry friends. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment by removing hazards and providing plenty of toys and comfy spaces. For cats, I ensure they have access to plenty of water and both dry and wet food. For dogs, I supervise all interactions and maintain a routine to keep them calm and happy. I closely monitor both cats and dogs to ensure they interact safely and aren't overwhelmed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully, respect their space, and make sure pets feel secure and loved. I am attentive to each pet's needs and behaviors, ensuring they receive the best care possible.

“Jonathan was so great! He was communicative and punctual and did a great job walking my high-energy, large Pit mix. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have extensive experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize even subtle changes in a pet's well-being. I provide personalized boarding in my home and only accept one family at a time, allowing pets to enjoy a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of supervision and one on one attention. Unlike boarding facilities or sitters who care for multiple dogs at once, your pet will receive individualized care in a quiet home environment. I work primarily from home and rarely leave for more than an hour or two, so pets receive plenty of companionship, playtime indoors/outdoors, and potty breaks throughout the day. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and reinforce any training or habits you're already working on at home. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that need extra patience or monitoring. I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and pet-safe home environment, helping reduce access to potential hazards while providing a comfortable and healthy space for every guest. To ensure a safe and comfortable stay for everyone, I ask owners to disclose any medical, behavioral, or special care needs before booking. While I have experience caring for pets that require extra attention or monitoring, I DO NOT accept dogs that are actively in heat, contagious, or experiencing illness that may impact their stay or the safety, health, and well-being of the pets in my home. Communication is very important to me, and you'll receive regular photos, videos, and updates throughout your pet's stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, and for owners to feel completely at ease while they're away. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, and companionship without long periods of absence. I am home most of the time, and if I step out, it is only for short periods (typically no more than 1–2 hours). I keep a calm and flexible routine so each dog can settle in comfortably and feel at home during their stay. ✨ Additional services available: Puppy potty training support during stays. I provide care in a clean, calm, and thoughtfully organized home environment. I typically host only one dog at a time so I can give them my full attention and create a peaceful, low-stress experience. I live just two blocks from multiple large parks, which allows for regular walks and outdoor time. I also have two small Shih Tzus at home who are friendly and used to being around other dogs; however, I can keep them completely separate if needed to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe.

About: I've been taking care of my sweet puppy Hazel for 9 years! When she was a baby, I potty trained her and taught her many fun tricks! Now that she's older, I look out for her emerging middle aged dog health concerns. As a pet sitter, I'll treat your babies with the same care I give my own! Pet sitting is my full-time summer job, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during both week days and weekends! I am very adaptable to your individual needs for your pets and your home. Simply let me know of any specific requests and I'll easily be able to make it happen!

About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old, from Standard Poodle’s, to Shih tzu’s, to Boxer/Bulldogs! I have tons of experience with pups of all sizes. At the moment, I have to amazing dogsLouie and Lennon. Louie is a Retriever/Setter mix and Lennon and is Coonhound, both rescues. I have had Louie from 8 weeks old and am a pro with puppies and older dogs alike. Before my two loves, I had a Boxer/Bulldog mix Hudson. She was the epitome of a “gentle giant”. I know it sounds cliche, but large of small, I really do love every single one of them! I am currently working Freelance and am able to adjust my schedule as needed to provide the best care for your pups. I also love to run and love to friends come with me! I have a fenced in yard and two super friendly pups at home. If needed I can use a crate for your (or my!) pups if needed. Whatever matches the level of care they receive at home.

“Great job thx!”

About: I had a maltipoo who I cared for for 13 years so I am confident in caring for pups like her. I’ve also had to dog-sit some friends’ dogs who’d I bring for walks, play in the yard, and fill food and water bowls for them while gone! I generally work 3 days a week so I am looking to care and walk dogs for a couple other days during my week to fill my days. I will make sure to close all doors that I have entered and make sure the dog is back in the house before leaving. I will make sure I put everything back to where they were and fill any bowls that I am instructed to make sure the dogs are comfortable until their owners or next person comes to see them!

About: Welcome to Lovely Momo’s Family! We live in a townhouse with a big dog park, a yard, and walking trails throughout the town. It’s a very safe place for both dogs and even children. We go for walks 2–3 times a day, and playing with our girl, Momo, is the happiest part of our day. Here are the daily care routine for Momo❣️ 🌟 Brushing teeth (we also have non-brush dental foam spray) 🌟 Cleaning eyelids & ears 🌟 Combing her fur (detangle spray,brush,comb) 🌟 Feeding nutritional supplements 🌟 Family playtime! 🎾 If you'd like, we can provide the same care for your dog as well! I’m currently taking a break from work to plan my pregnancy and also looking for a job that allows me to work from home, so I can take care of dogs anytime, 7 days and nights. We have human-grade quality treats, nutritional supplements, and dried food for dogs. Sometimes, I make fresh vegetable-mixed treats and am well aware of what foods are good for dogs. Momo especially loves vegetables and fruits, so we prefer giving her carrots, celery, and blueberries rather than just regular snacks.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from playful small pups to large, energetic dogs. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters walking and caring for dogs, so I’m confident, reliable, and passionate about giving pets the care they deserve. I’m currently home from college and have a flexible schedule! Feel free to reach out—I’d love to find a time that works best for you and your pup. I stick to your dogs routine, follow any care instructions closely, and always give them plenty of attention, playtime, and walks.
