About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I recently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am flexible and available to walk or board your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your or my dogs and/or create separate space at the house.

About: I have 15+ years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up owning cats, but I have walked and watched dogs overnight. I currently work full time during week, but I can fit evening walks, play dates, and possibly other services depending on the time and day. I have more availability on the weekends. I never had another person or clients pet in my home. I would go to their residence. I’m very attentive to every animal I’m responsible for when I’m with them.

About: I’ve cared for animals for over 5 years, including adopting three cats and raising two dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet like my own. I regularly help friends with pet sitting and feeding, and I also volunteer as a foster for shelter cats. My experience spans caring for both dogs and cats, including those with unique needs or personalities. I currently work full-time but am available on my days off — Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays — to care for your pets. I can also provide evening check-ins or walks on workdays with advance notice. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my top priority! I provide pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I’m respectful of your space, follow all care instructions carefully, and ensure your pet gets the attention, playtime, and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: Have always grown up with cats and dogs, have fostered some dogs and am an overall animal lover. I have a corporate job where I can work from home some days I am mostly on here just for fun and to meet people in my area. Just getting started so would love to make you my first client. I work from home several days a week so am flexible to accommodate other professionals during office hours. Available on weekends also. Happy to flex. In my home, the animal would be the only one present at any given time. I love animals and your pet would be well cared for. Any interaction in your home, I’d be respectful of your space.

“Bethany is so professional and she came all the way from Ocean City NJ to walk my dog Callie. Bethany was very very kind and always kept me up to date on Callie my dog if anyone ever needs a dog walker she is your go to hands down.”


About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Hero 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth is a great Pet walker and sitter. She has walked Toby every day for the past week, she is always on time to pick him up and he is always ready and happy to see her. After his walk he goes peacefully to sleep for a few hours so he is definitely getting exercise during the walk. She is flexible with the schedule and is open to changes. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”

I have a fenced in back yard, and there is a park nearby where your dog can get lots of exercise and fresh air when they are in my care.

About: I will provide the best care possible for your dog. I grew up with so many pets so I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for another person's.

Over 25 pet parents in Avenel have booked dog walking
Avenel dog parents share their Rover experiences
McKenna was amazing and I’m super grateful she was able to do it on such short notice. She continued to update me and sent me pictures and my girl was so happy . They became quick friends and that shows a lot about her personality and how amazing she is with animals because my girl is scared of most people. I will definitely be asking for her help again in the future.

Natalia and Ilian were AMAZING with our dog, Chico. He's a big boy at 70lbs, 7 months old. This was our first time trusting a dog walker and they gave me constant communication and updates. They were super sweet and mindful of making sure the heat wasn't too much for him. We'd definitely use them again, even for boarding and plan on scheduling more walks. Highly recommend!
