I am based in Metuchen and serve both Metuchen the surrounding Edison areas. I may route my services to Green Brook Township when timing allows – If you are located in Green Brook and are interested in any services, please contact me prior to discuss availability. 

I offer dog walking, dog training, seasonal park+trail adventures, and in-home visits. 

Dogs require Rabies and Distemper. Cats require Rabies and Feline Distemper. Other species do not require any specific vaccines. 

Vaccinations can be uploaded through Time-to-Pet once an account has been created. You will be unable to book a service through the Time-to-Pet portal for your dog and/or cat without providing proof of vaccination. 

Before any service can be booked, a Meet & Greet must be done first. Please call or text (848) 207-4373 to schedule a day and time for us to meet! 

*Calls/Texts after 7:00pm EST may not be returned until the next day.

Yes, venomous reptiles and avian species of any kind will not be serviced. Aggressive-temperament pets may be accepted after a successful Meet & Greet. Passing a Meet & Greet does not guarantee recurring acceptance of an aggressive pet, and services can be denied or cut short if deemed necessary. 

Yes! In fact, they are my favorite to work with. I offer specific services and add-ons for these types of dogs as well, such as Behavior Modification and Exposure Therapy. THE FULL SHIFT is great for dogs with sensitive care needs.

Every pet is different. Whether your pet needs a little extra reassurance or simply enjoys having company throughout the day, THE FULL SHIFT can be tailored to their individual needs. However, this service may be especially beneficial for pets who:

• Are shy, timid, fearful, or slow to warm up to new people.

• Experience separation anxiety or struggle with being left home alone.

• Are reactive, nervous, or uncomfortable in traditional daycare environments.

• Require frequent supervision, medication, or specialized care.

• Are puppies or kittens still learning routines and building confidence.

• Are senior pets who benefit from extra companionship and a slower-paced day.

• High-energy breeds with unlimited energy. (I recommend the Adventure upgrade for this!)

• Simply thrive with extra attention, enrichment, and human companionship!

For dog walking and adventure services, I will always provide my own six-foot slip lead. Harnesses are not permitted unless the dog has a medical necessity, is a brachycephalic breed, or weighs less than 20 pounds. If your pet meets these exceptions, you must provide the harness or other approved equipment that you would like me to use. 

Prong collars, Starmark collars, martingale collars, Gentle Leaders, electronic collars (e-collars), and similar equipment may be considered during training sessions. Their use during walks or adventures is case-specific and can be discussed prior to your pet's service.
