I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. I have 2 sassy beagle-mix girls of my own who I have to be home for at night, so overnights require some household scheduling. It also means I can't take in dogs for boarding.
