Dog Walkers in River Edge, NJ

About: Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have been around dogs my entire life and taken care of countless dogs for friends and neighbors over the years. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy. Theres really nothing like the love of a pet. I have a flexible schedule, especially during weekday hours. I am usually available from 9-3 with some weekend availability if needed. Please message for more details. I am not currently available for in home pet sitting because I have my own dog. I had a long career working with children who have developmental disabilities so I am extremely caring, dedicated, reliable and attention focused.

“Our dogs enjoyed walking with Melisa. She treated our dog with care, and her reports after every walks satisfied my curiosity on how my dogs were doing with her. Thank you Melisa!”

“Tere is an excellent provider. She is easy to communicate with, is prompt, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and extremely well-taken care of. Highly recommend.”

“Cheryl thank you! She took athena out for a walk, placed her back into the crate, gave her, her kibble and Athena seems very happy!”

“Oliver and I really enjoyed working with Liz. She was confident handling his high energy puppy ways. We were sad she wasn’t able to do the last day but look forward to more walks with better weather. We give Liz two paws up and a recommend.”

“Jeanne is the best! Our 60 lb pup can be a little frustrating on walks because he bites his leash but Jeanna is a champ and is able to get him to stop and have a good walk with him.”

“Libertad has been a lifesaver and is so helpful for our family”

“Bryndon is just an awesome person. You can tell how much care and love he has for animals. He was so great with Jax on his first walk, and Jax came back so happy. Bryndon is also communicative and on time, which I appreciate. I couldn't recommend anyone better.”

“Punctual and very communicative regarding pups behavior. Also adapted to his needs as he was a bit hesitant to walk with her at first. Would def use An again when I’m in town.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my exceptional level of care and expertise. Your furry friends will receive the highest level of attention and care. I am dedicated to making your pets feel loved and secure in your absence. Flexible scheduling, just ask Monday available all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday available in the morning Tuesday and Friday available in evening I am flexible for morning check-ins also I have a very active rabbit. He has never known a cage and keeps me busy. He requires some obscure grooming and typical nail, fur and ear care. He gets massages and loves head scratches.

“Casey was great! She was right on time for the walk with my puppy Brandy, took her around my neighborhood and even played with her a bit inside before putting her back in the crate.”

“Jenn is amazing!!!! If you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs with respect and compassion,Please choose her. I will be requesting her, Going forward. My little boys love to see her face whenever she’s around and she always goes above and beyond.If you love your dog choose her!”

“This is a second review. After 18 months of working from home, my 10 year old Shitzu/Terrier has gotten more anxious with others. Jill walked him for the first time since Oct 2020. My dog responded very well and as usually Jill was great with my anxious little guy. Jill is just great with him!”

“Anya is our go-to dog walker and Toby loves her! She’s reliable, flexible and trustworthy. Toby always gets a good walk and comes back tired. Highly recommend!”

“Kerri was built for walking dogs. I mean, look at that name: "Walker". Clearly, she was born for this. Through my observations, I've found that Kerri is naturally attuned with dogs. This is because Kerri understands them on a deeper, more philosophical level. Through simple barks and non-verbal cues, Kerri is able to converse with any dog about abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space. All joking aside, if you entrust your dog's care with Kerri, you will be greatly rewarded. She is very attentive and has a genuine love for animals. She will put your dogs comfort, happiness, and safety above her own without giving it a second thought.”

“We used Shamel this past week to care for our Zuri. I was so impressed by his humble charm and lovely family. May I also include that their home was so beautiful. Zuri made herself comfortable right away. It’s nothing short of a 5 star vacation for pets. I received so many photos and updates. I will definitely book again. Thank you!!!!”

“Matthew really came through. I booked another dog walker at first that ended up canceling on me right before I was due to go on vacation. Matthew made himself available for my puppy, Darla. He is great with her and she loves him. I will be booking him again for sure.”
