Puppy Sitting
Our Services > Puppy Sitting
You want to do everything right for your new puppy, but balancing a full work schedule, sleep, and constant potty breaks can feel overwhelming and nearly impossible on some days.
We know how much work those first few months can be
Puppies need structure, patience, and near-constant care. Leaving them alone too long can lead to accidents, anxiety, and training setbacks.
WALKS WIGGLES AND WAGS bridges the gap. Our trained sitters handle potty breaks, playtime, feeding, crate work, and cleanup, so your puppy’s day remains structured and safe while you get through yours.
puppy sitting options
Our puppy sitting services in Morris and Somerset counties give you the help you need during the workday so your puppy stays safe, happy, and on track with their routine.
20 Minute Puppy Visit
Ideal for younger pups who need more frequent visits throughout the day. Perfect for working families or anyone with a full schedule. These short visits fit easily into your puppy’s day for regular potty breaks, meals, play, and positive interaction. Whether you need one visit or a few spaced throughout your workday, we’ll help your puppy stay comfortable, cared for, and on schedule.
40 Minute Puppy Visit
Ideal for older puppies or those with higher energy levels who benefit from more structure and stimulation. This longer visit gives us extra time for a walk or play session, training reinforcement, and calm wind-down before we leave. Great for combining with shorter visits in the same day to build a consistent, well-balanced routine.
What’s included in a puppy visit:
Potty breaks and accident cleanup
Feeding and fresh water
Playtime, enrichment, and basic obedience
Short walks suited for little legs
Crate training
Basic training reinforcement (sit, stay, and basic leash manners)
Photos and visit updates via the Time To Pet app
Sample Daily Schedule for Working Puppy parents
For puppy parents away from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, we recommend three visits to keep your pup happy, healthy, and on track with training:
10:30 AM – Morning Visit
Potty break, playtime, and a snack if needed. Helps prevent accidents and gives your puppy a burst of activity mid-morning.
1:00 PM – Midday Visit
Another potty break plus engagement, training reinforcement, and a chance to burn off energy before the afternoon nap.
3:30 PM – Afternoon Visit
Final potty break before you return home, along with cuddles or a quick game to keep them calm and content until you arrive.

Why you need a consistent & reliable puppy sitter
We know 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.
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.
Give your puppy the right start
and yourself some peace of mind
Puppyhood doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our trained sitters keep your puppy safe, consistent, and cared for while you’re away.
