Pet Sitting in East Brunswick

About: Growing up, I was the go-to caretaker for our three dogs—a German Shepherd, Husky, and Shiba Inu. From daily walks and meals to cleaning up messes, caring for both my own and neighbors’ dogs quickly became second nature. I bring patience, a deep understanding of dog behavior, and genuine love for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy senior, I’m here to make sure every dog feels safe, seen, and loved. I work part time only one shift per day, which leaves time for me to provide pet care for any day of the week. My schedule is super flexible and regularly updated to ensure the best fit for pet owners. The care I provide is known for reliability and open communication with clients. I keep track of each visit by taking notes and updating owners of progress throughout the visit. There’s a great sense of security that comes with being in the loop at all times especially with a pet, and I provide this security by tailoring to each client’s needs. Any directions are followed to a T without a single detail overlooked. Additionally, a meet and greet with me can be scheduled in advance and is available upon request. I love reaching out to owners beforehand as it allows both me and the owner to meet and work out the specifics before a scheduled visit.

“My hero!!! She went for our aid when my husband and I were stuck far from home, and she was ready to help and take care of the boys. Amazing, reliable and sweet. TYSM Shelly!”

“Cristina is amazing! She’s got great availability and is so awesome with our kitties. She always makes sure to play with them and noticed when things are off, like a possible medical issue or piece of trash they might chew on. I highly recommend her - I always know my cats are in good hands!”

About: Your dogs care is my top priority! I take on 1 household at a time so your fur babies will get all the care and attention they deserve and require. My name is Megan, and I am a lover of all animals! I had 3 cats for 17 years, and since they have passed, I very much miss having animals in my everyday life. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to spend time with your fur babies and will treat them like my own. In addition to owning cats, over the years, I have volunteered in animal shelters and have pet sat caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for animals needing iv fluids, with hygiene specifications, daily medication, and special diets. I have experience in massage therapy and will happily give your little one a therapeutic rub down! My attention to detail and love for animals makes me a very hands-on caregiver. I currently work in my towns school district (typically M-F 7am-2pm) just 2 miles down the road. I am off summers, major and religious holidays and am able to be home at 10:15 during my lunch break for 30min walks/visits so your pup would never be left alone for more than 3 hrs on days I work. I will always be transparent about my schedule and only ever accept jobs where I know I can give your animal the attention they deserve. I will be your pets main caretaker but I live with my retired mother, Donna, who is around at times to lend a helping hand. I am a homebody who also loves the outdoors. When I am not home, I love to go on hikes, visit parks, and take walks in nature. I prefer the company of animals to people, so I can assure you they will never want for attention or affection! I welcome as much information/details about your pets routine as possible so I can keep them feeling safe, happy, and regulated during their stay. Other than the few hours I may be at work, I spend close to every other minute with the pups I care for. I welcome your pets to sit with me on the couch and sleep with me at night! Unless it is your wish to keep them off furniture, where I go, they go :) I have a gated yard (44in) for your dog to run and play. I live on a long quiet street, great for our walks. I am close to several parks. I am happy to give your pet whatever activity level you desire and they feel comfortable with. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep our little buddy happy! I have a close family member who was a vet tech and has a vast working knowledge I can call upon if ever necessary. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away!

“Amazing experience!! Yvette is truly good at her job and she follows every direction you instruct her to do through River!! Will definitely be hiring her again to take care of my Cat!! Highly recommend!!”

“Mike was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)”

“Olivia did an outstanding job taking care of Carmela. She was so patient with my puppy who is extremely shy and doesn’t always eat. Olivia took lots of time with her so she felt more at ease. I will for sure be booking with Olivia again”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have experience training puppies and caring for special needs and senior pups. I also have plenty of experience giving medication and administering injections. My house is equipped with nanny cams so that I can check in on pets when I am not home. I work 5 minutes from my house and get home at 3 pm daily. I come home on my lunch break to check in on pets. I have a large fenced in yard and a 3 year old (neutered) French bulldog who loves company. I have ample space to crate your pet if need be. We live in a great neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and tons of great walking paths. We also live 10 minutes from a dog park. My house is a nonsmoking home and my 2 children are over the age of 10 and really good with all types of pets.

“Laraine was extremely accommodating for my fur child! I booked in home visits during a busy loaded work week and she made sure my pups visits were comfortable from HOME! Any care instructions that That were needed, she paid close attention to detail and was right on top of it. She even took my high energetic athletic pup on morning runs! So grateful and thankful for Laraine ?”

“Georgette helped us out during a true emergency when we needed someone to care for my in-laws’ cats. I can’t describe how much of a lifesaver she was. Georgette was kind, accommodating, and extremely professional, not to mention highly experienced with animals as a vet tech. It’s clear that she truly cared about the cats and took excellent care of them during an extended period. It was such a comfort to know that they were being so well looked after while dealing with our family emergency. I wish I could give her 10 stars!!”

About: I have had several dogs since I was 3 years old. Whether you are traveling for business or recreation, you will have full confidence that I will care for your fur baby as if they are my own. Your pet will be in the best care while you are away. They will get the most exercise as walks will be given frequently. I love having visitors all the time in our home and care for several of our friends dogs when they travel. That is why I’ve decided to extend my home to others that need care of their loved one. Feel free to request to have a meet & greet to see if your pup are comfortable in new surroundings. I work from home, so your pet will rarely be left home by themselves. They will receive plenty of play time and care throughout the day. We have crates available, if your pet uses them at home and helps make them more comfortable. While here, they will have full roam of our home.

About: My first dog was a St. Bernard/Lab mix and I currently have a two havanese pups that are brothers! I am dependable, believe in clear communication and provide frequent updates/ pictures to ensure that owners are completely comfortable knowing that their pets are safe and happy :) I am currently a student so I have open availability M-F (in the summer) and most weekends! I’m pretty flexible with my time, just let me know what works for you! Pets can be sensitive to change. I’m good at understanding the different signals for what your pet may be trying to tell me, so I will make sure to build trust and be compassionate if they want extra love and attention or a bit of space to adjust!

About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I have been working with animals my whole life be in pet sitting, volunteering, or as a career. I have always pet sat for family and friends over the years. I currently work at a vet tech, and have been doing so for the last 9 years. Having to give medications, or injections for diabetes is something I am comfortable with! I work 5 days a week up at the animal Hosptial, but am flexiable to come in before or after work. Available all day on my days off. It is just myself who would be coming to take care of your pet. All of my animals are fed twice a day, and my dog is taken out multiple times a day. My cats gets lot of snuggles, and snacks when able to. I also have to medicate my dog twice a day for joint pain, and one of my cats gets several medications due to being constipated.

“Ana was wonderful with our cats. She took time to play with them every day, was able to give one of them medicine daily and even took in our mail and packages! She also sent us pictures every day. Thanks so much for letting us feel comfortable about leaving our cats alone for five days!”
