How We Help You Raise a Happy, Well-Behaved Puppy

We’re not just puppy sitters. We’re partners in your puppy’s growth. That means we’re there to support you through every stage, from the early days of frequent potty breaks to the longer visits that build confidence, manners, and routine.

Our care is more than feeding and potty breaks. We help reinforce your training, provide age-appropriate exercise, and offer enrichment that keeps curious puppy minds engaged. Every visit is designed to help your puppy grow into a confident, well-mannered dog you’ll be proud to take anywhere.

Whether you need quick 15-minute check-ins to keep potty training on track, extended visits for play and socialization, or even overnight care when you’re away, WALKS WIGGLES AND WAGS is here for it all.

Serving pet families across Morris County and Somerset County, NJ, we help busy puppy parents raise happy, healthy dogs without the stress of doing it all yourself.

Here’s How We Support You:

  1. Potty breaks + fresh water

  2. Mealtime if needed

  3. Playtime, enrichment, and basic obedience

  4. Short walks suited to little legs

  5. Training support (sit, stay, basic leash manners)

  6. Photos and visit updates via the Time To Pet app

Our Visits Fit What Your Puppy Needs:

  1. Quick 15-Minute Check-In

    A potty break and a bit of TLC for those tight schedules.

  2. 20-Minute Enrichment Visit

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most puppies need frequent visits until they're about 8 months old and can reliably hold their bladder for longer periods. We'll help you decide when it's time to transition to standard dog walking visits.

  • We take extra precautions with unvaccinated puppies by limiting outdoor time to your yard or designated safe areas to reduce exposure risk.

  • Absolutely! We're happy to practice commands you're working on, such as "sit," "stay," or leash manners.

  • Taylor R. (Chester, NJ)

    “I’m OBSESSED with this company Walks Wiggles and Wags and the owner and our walker/caregiver. We’re in the morris county area so we had a few options but they are the BEST. You can tell everything is about putting the care and safety of our pups first and above all. I have never wanted to go on trips if we couldn’t bring our pups because I didn’t trust anyone to take care of them like we do. Now we have two weekend trips because of how comfortable we are. It’s given us so much more freedom and peace of mind knowing our fur babies are well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found them!!!!!”

WHY YOU NEED A CONSISTENT, RELIABLE PUPPY SITTER FOR GUILT-FREE TRAINING

At Walks Wiggles and Wags, we know that you want to spend every minute cuddling your new puppy, but that’s just not possible when you’re juggling a work schedule, your kid’s sports schedules, vacations, and everything else that comes with a NJ lifestyle.

But do you need a puppy sitter to visit your house every day? Depending on your schedule, yes.

Consistency & Reliability

When you’re training a puppy, you don’t always have time to let him out right on schedule, or maybe you skipped a few walks last week. With a puppy sitter booked, you know your puppy always gets outside and plays, even if you’re busy.

Puppy Enrichment

We know your puppy is a busy learner! Our team can introduce fun enrichment games during visits to help keep their minds active and engaged, if you would like this added to your puppy’s care routine.

Better Behavior

With consistent exercise throughout the day, your puppy will behave better in your home… which means they may chew up fewer shoes and toys around the house. We reinforce good habits so you never fall behind on your obedience training.

Stress Free Scheduling

When you book ahead with Walks Wiggles and Wags, you can be confident your dog walker is showing up. You don’t have to remember to schedule each week, and we’ll always have someone available for you.

Socializing with Walkers

The team at Walks Wiggles and Wags are all trained and insured, and we’ll fill in when someone can’t be at your house for a visit. That means your puppy will get to know more friendly faces, and we’ll always show up to take care of them.

HOW OUR PUPPY SITTER RATES WORK

At Walks Wiggles and Wags, we offer frequency-based pricing, instead of charging a flat rate per walk. This means that the more walks you book each week, the more you save.

Give your dog the consistency they love while making things easier (and more affordable!) for yourself. Let’s build the perfect schedule for your pup today!
