What if finding a reliable dog walker was actually easy?
Everyone's a dog walker these days. With no specific license required to walk dogs, just about anyone can hang a sign, call themselves “bonded and insured,” and start taking clients.
But handing someone the keys to your home and responsibility for your dog? That's a lot of trust to place in someone whose qualifications begin and end with “I love dogs.”
Let’s change that!
You've tried the gig apps, Facebook recommendations, maybe even friends and neighbors. But finding someone who's consistently reliable, understands dog behavior, has professional oversight, and a backup plan when things go wrong? That's a different story.That's exactly why I started Walks Wiggles & Wags in 2018.
to bring a higher level of professionalism and reliability to an industry that desperately needed it.LET'S MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASIER FOR YOU and a whole lot better for your dog

I'm Monica, Founder and Owner of Walks wiggles & Wags, a local pet care company that's raising the standard in the pet care industry.I launched Walks Wiggles & Wags because I saw too many families stuck in bad situations -
I didn’t originally set out to build a pet care company.
I came from an industry obsessed with what could go wrong as a quality assurance specialist. I spent more than a decade in corporate IT and software testing, where preventing failure was the job. You tested the system, documented the process, planned for the unexpected, and made damn sure one person wasn’t the only thing standing between “working” and “not working.”
Then I found myself in pet care, an industry where the consequences of something going wrong were far more personal.
Someone’s dog. Someone’s home. Someone’s house key. And often, the entire plan depended on one person showing up.
That never made sense to me.
So I built Walks Wiggles & Wags the way I knew how: with systems, standards, oversight, trained employees, documented care, and real backup when life inevitably happens.
Because when someone hands us a key to their home and trusts us with a member of their family, “I love dogs” was never going to be enough of a system for me.
So I built the company I’d want on the other side of my own front door.

how we built our companyWe built walks wiggles & wags around accountability, not hope and empty promises.
Every system, every hire, and every process we have exists to answer one question: what happens when no one is watching? Here's what we built.
A Backup Before You Need One
Dog walker sick on a Tuesday? Flat tire on Wednesday? We’ve got you covered. Life happens to us, too. The difference is we planned for it. Every WW&W dog walker is an employee, who is background-checked, insured, and professionally trained to our written standards.
Proof Every Visit Happened
GPS-tracked walks. Timestamped clock ins & clock outs. Photos on your phone before you've thought to check. You'll never wonder whether the walk happened or whether it lasted as long as it should have. We’re fully transparent with our visits.
real systems, not a notes app
Your schedule, care plan, home access information, vet info, and visit history live in professional password-protected pet care software our team can see. Nothing depends on one person's memory or battery dying.
Anyone can hold a leash and promise to show up.
We spent the last eight years building the systems, the team, and the standards that helps us keep our promise, visit after visit.
That's the Walks Wiggles & Wags difference.

Questions worth asking any dog walker
-
We regularly welcome new members throughout Morris and Somerset Counties. Availability depends on your location, preferred visit times, and our current routes. The best way to find out is to complete our New Client Form, and we'll let you know if we're a good fit.
-
Every membership includes guaranteed backup coverage from a trained teammate who has already met your dog and reviewed their care plan. You'll be notified, and the visit happens as scheduled. In eight years, we've never missed one.
-
Your dog is cared for by a small, consistent team — usually one primary walker with one or two familiar backups. That's deliberate. A solo walker is a single point of failure. A small team is how the schedule survives real life.
-
Every visit is GPS-verified and timestamped, and you'll get a photo and update after each one. You'll never have to wonder who came, how long they stayed, and what happened during the visit.
-
Employees. W-2, background-checked, trained to our written standards, and covered by our insurance. We don't use gig contractors, because accountability can't be outsourced.
-
Yes, when our schedule allows. Our primary focus is serving recurring members, so occasional visits are very limited and don't include the same member benefits or scheduling priority.
-
Dogs are our primary focus, but we also care for cats and other household pets when they're part of an existing client relationship. If you have questions about your specific pets, just ask—we're happy to talk through your needs.
-
We're probably a great fit if you're looking for a long-term pet care partner rather than someone to call every once in a while.
Our business is built around recurring relationships because that's where we believe dogs receive the best care.
