Dog Walkers in Woodstown, NJ

About: Since I was a little kid in 70s south Jersey I've been fascinated with animals of every kind! I became a vet tech and later studied animal behavior as a grad student at Temple University. I've loved & cared for every type of friend, from mice to macaws to mastiff! I'm always home! I have a fully animal friendly area and newly fenced in yard in a very quiet area in the middle of horse country. ***please make sure your pet is up to date on flea & tick medication *** *** Please contact me if you had already reserved a booking but now see I've closed for reservations*** I am always home. 24/7. This means there's never a chance your loved one will ever be alone under my care. Taking care of animals has always been my happy place, so my goal is to make this the happiest place for them to visit. ** Due to the mystery respiratory virus impacting dogs across the United States, I strongly recommend that dogs be updated on bordatella and flu vaccines & that you check with your vet before boarding or taking your dog to a groomer or dog park.** My yard was securely fenced last year. My entire house is dedicated to Rover, so your family member doesn't have to interact with anyone they don't want to. There are pet friendly sofas and beds in safe areas, each with its own TV! Bordatella aka kennel cough is an easily transmitted virus in dogs. Because of its long incubation period (2-14 days) it is recommended that you vaccinate your dog every 6 months and at least 2 weeks prior to boarding. No dog pet owner, dog park, veterinary office, kennel or any public places that permit dogs can promise to not expose your pet to kennel cough.

About: I grew up with dogs + cats and have experience raising puppies, handling senior dogs, and dogs with minor special needs (mobility issues and vision-impaired). I have worked with animal rescues as a foster for dogs as well! As for cats, I have fostered nearly 50 kittens and adult cats, and have experience with special needs cats! I also have experience with animals such as rabbits, lizards, fish, guinea pigs/hamsters. I currently have no form of employment and can spare most of my time for pet-care. I am willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and playtime or dog walks! I cannot do boarding as I have animals of my own and avoiding a potential problem is the priority. My pets are well-cared for and since they all came from rescues, their specific needs are taken into account. The cats have their own separate litter boxes, the dogs get plenty of playtime and sunshine. As for a client’s home, I will make sure that their pets are loved as if they are my own and I will keep the home clean if any accidents occur. Important information such as diets, recommended outside time, and general schedules for the animals will be taken into account and treated very seriously.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and started sitting over a decade ago. I will always meet your pet where they are in terms of their need for attention and affection. I have experience in giving liquid and pill meds, as well as IV fluids to cats. I am an active person, and have no problem with log walks or runs for dogs. My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to a variety of needs. I am a professor with a flexible schedule and work primarily from home, especially in the summer, so I can typically adapt my schedule to what your needs are. I will always respect both your home, and your pets needs in your home. I know that your home is their territory, and I am a guest to them, so I will never force myself on to them or into a space they may not want me in.

About: I have been pet sitting for the past two years. I have been watching mostly dogs. Most dogs I watch need medication during breakfast and lunch so I am sure to make sure your dogs are being fed and medicated while you are away. I am currently working part time as a substitute teacher so I have a lot of time available to take great care for your dogs. I will make sure your dogs are let out and exercised. I also have no problem walking your dogs and playing with them in your yard.

About: I have been a pet appreciation magnet as long as I can remember. Even when I am not aiming for the attention, the pets gravitate my way, and i have scritches and belly rubs for them all. I have a rescue of my own for 6+ years now, bichon/poodle mix. Though he had a traumatic start before me, he has adjusted well and is a cuddle bug, and getting better with his socialization with new doggos. I have been a dog sitter for friends over the last 8+ years, when they go on trips. I have experience in minor training, like sit/stay/leash leading, for a few breeds up to 50-70 lbs (no certificates, just repitition and patience). Positive recognition of good behavior and moderate activity (to remedy the bad behavior) when you need me are what I hope to share with your furry family members. I am currently working part-time, so i can set up a schedule of regular pet attention care during part day time hours. Currently I have weekends free if weekend care is requested, though this may change if requests are light. I am working on my house to be able to provide overnight care in the future, making it care friendly for additional furry friends. I have a fenced in, good size yard, and a medium size fur baby of my own to greet stay over friends, though my house needs a little more time for prep before we are ready. I am happy to do drop-ins and day or eve walks at your home, and follow any/all your rules. I respect your needs and want to make sure your fur baby is safe and happy in my care. I keep trainer treats in my car, if we need to practice a few basic commands, as well as water and other care essentials. I have a back seat hammock/cover for the pet's safety when traveling (as needed). I also have a med to large dog kennel I can put in the way back of my SUV if that is preferred for safety and security.

“Abby has been amazing with Hunter! He’s always excited to see her for their walks together. She treats him like he is her own! I highly recommend using Abby for all your pets needs.”

“Raelyn is an absolute pleasure! She’s incredibly attentive and makes accommodations specific to your pup’s needs. I’m so grateful to have her help me out! She’s also very responsive and sends detailed report cards and pictures every single day. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 4-years old. Since then, I have volunteered at animal shelters, worked at animal shelters, watched dogs for my friends and family, and have owned a dog for most of my life. I adopted my first cat in 2020, and currently have 5. I have a Ph.D. in Biology which helps to understand the internal processes of animals. I am available most Saturdays, Sundays, and some Friday evenings. I enjoy walking and working with dogs and/or dogs. I am outgoing and very approachable, making it easy for me to befriend every type of dog or cat! I work full-time during the week, but my weekends are typically very flexible to walk a dog, feed a pet, or spend time with your animal. Growing up, I would help walk my dogs at least once a day, sometimes three times a day. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules as well as ensure that the pets are let out at the appropriate times. I currently have five cats, whom I clean the litter boxes for at least once a day and ensure they are fed properly at consistent times.

“Abigail is amazing - she was able to help out on very short notice. She’s our go to sitter!”

About: I would like to cuddle new buddies, probably give them a fresh nickname and too many treats (if allowed). Special treatment is an understatement, royal canine treatment would be more like it! I work full time but will be able to add weekend walks and checks for furry friends. I will enjoy spending time outdoors in the nicer weather. If the weather does not cooperate I hope your pup has a rain coat because I am a sucker for dogs in rain coats. I treat my housemates better than myself, they make the rules and I oblige them with a cheerful disposition. Filtered water? You bet. Don’t like that food anymore? No problem! Want to block my airway while sleeping? Cool, I can breathe later!

“Marlene was great with Olive! She met her beforehand and was able to get her acclimated so there would be no problems walking her. She was great with her!”

About: I've been caring for many types of animals since I was about 10. I did attend classes at a young age to learn how to teach our beloved wiggle butts the basics, i can help with your pups, too. As a SAHM, I am able to provide around the clock care for your furry family member. I understand how hectic life can get and how important it is to make sure they are cared for while your attending to other needs, even at odd times. I regularly walk my puppy and would gladly take yours for stroll. Playtime will be filled with enriching activities to stimulate their mind, and socialization to keep them active.

“Tommy is really awesome! I really appreciate the updates during her walks while I’m at work. He makes sure my dog uses the bathroom each visit and that’s a relief for me. Thanks for being so great with Luna I’m sure she looks forward to every walk!!”

About: I’ve grown up having cats and dogs most of my life. I really began to actually take on the responsibility of caring for pets when I was around 11 years old when I rescued a dog. Throughout my life, I have volunteered at animal shelters and I have cared for my friends’ and families’ pets while they are at work or away. I have two of my own fur babies, my cocker spaniel, Max and my chi-weenie, Elliott. I will provide great care, accommodate to each of your pets’ needs, and will always treat your pet like they are my own! I am currently a SAHM, we travel with my husband for his work so I may not be a reliable source for long term schedules, but I am a great option for short term or one time care! For the most part, I am available every day. I will always treat your home and your furry family members with respect. I have a toddler who loves animals, and as long as you’re comfortable with it, he makes a great pet playmate! Most importantly, I understand the importance of accommodating each and every pets’ needs and will always treat your pet like they are my own.

About: I have experience with owning a large breed & love all dogs. I’ve been the household “dog person” my whole life—I am always watching family dogs, taking walks, or snuggling a fur baby! I am looking for part time work, however in the mean time I am an open book! I am available anytime, most days out of the week. I would be happy to fit your dog into my schedule! I do not offer services in my own home, but I am willing and able to drive to you! I can take your dog on walks, play fetch in the backyard, potty breaks, or cuddles!
