Pet care experience

BOARD or WALK; ONE DOG @ A TIME

Dogs, cats and other little cuties have always been a huge part of our family and I've cared for just about all you can imagine while my kids were young; bunnies, guinea pigs, snakes, cockatiels, dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, (adults, seniors, special needs), BIG and LITTLE. The kids have flown the coop; my daughter is a Vet student at Tufts University with her 4 rescue cats and my son is in Cali with his rescue dog. My 2 senior Akita Dogs have since passed and the house is empty. So, I figured working with Rover, I can offer my home and pet care services to many wonderful Pet Parents and their "significant other” family members. Rover alots me the opportunity to care and enjoy your precious, 4 legged family members the way I cared and loved my own! It's a win-win situation for all of us ...

Yvette takes such good care of my kitty, even though she hides when Yvette comes in.

Look no further—Yvette is simply the best! What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and dedication she shows. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were their own, and that truly makes all the difference. Yvette has been caring for my dog for over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding, reliable, and compassionate pet care.

Yvette is the best dog sitter around. She takes wonderful care of my elder dog and refreshingly considerate of my home space. Harley (my fur baby) always enjoys her visits. Id give 10 stars if i could. Wouldn't dare to use another sitter.

Schedule

I work from home as a real estate agent and manage my own schedule, so caring for your pet would fit into my weekly routine, seamlessly. As an avid daily walker, walking your pups would be an absolute pleasure! Each scheduled walk is exclusively reserved for your pup! I offer a ONE on ONE outing for the entire walk :) I'm available throughout the week and can accommodate most requests, as long as we meet prior. Please message me with any special needs...I'll try my best to help you out.

Safety, trust & environment

I'll care for your fur-babies in your home or mine, as you would; taking great care to follow your instructions. My goal is to make sure they are happy & safe, offering you peace of mind while you are away; at work, play or on vacation! I own a home with a huge, fenced yard in a safe, quiet, suburban neighborhood in East Brunswick. With my EXCLUSIVE, "ONE DOG @ A TIME BOARDING", I provide your pup ALL of my attention in the comfort and safety of my home. If your pup is a well mannered walker, we venture out to walk at least 2-3X a day. Throughout their stay, I share videos and photos of our days and welcome your calls to catch up! The attention your pup gets in my home is of a "HOME" not a kennel. Your pup stays in my home, as they would in their own, thus significantly reducing their stress. There is absolutely no interaction with strange dogs in my home or on walks in the neighborhood, so no potential issues with kennel cough or other ailments, etc. Boarding in a clean, quiet, pet-free, child-free, non-smoking, home enviornment is the BEST situation for your pup and ***A HOME AWAY FROM HOME***. All visiting pups must be well behaved. If they are crate trained, I have crates available to use, per your request. If pups are a bit naughty and possibly destructive, they are crated for a short period, if Im out, to keep them safe and my home from being shredded. If they are well behaved, they may certainly stay out of the crate, but that is to be determined, as I see how they respond to their new environment. I'm HAPPY to HOST the following ; Puppy or Dog in my home; *YOUNG, House-Trained puppy under 1 year, No use of wee-wee pads in the house: OK *YOUNG puppy under 1 year, NOT House-Trained; extra $15/day boarding up-charge. Untrained/partially trained Puppies require extra monitoring, clean up and constant reinforcement and training: OK *Multiple dogs from SAME FAMILY are welcome! *Un-spayed females or Un-neutered males: OK *Female in Heat: OK with $10/day boarding up-charge for extra cleanup involved. *Extra large dogs over 100lbs.; daily rate to be determined. *Day Care is only available in the event I'm not hosting a boarder. If you need Day Care, please reach out and I'll check my schedule for availability. *DOG Pick Up & Drop Off : $100 round trip (within 10 miles of East Brunswick). I've had many dogs and truly enjoy ALL their stages of life, not much phases me :) Reach out if you have any questions, special needs or concerns.

A typical day

I love walking in the neighborhood to give the dogs a chance to explore. If they have loads of energy, we walk fast & far, if they prefer it slow, we take it easy. I always follow their lead. If your pup has a Air tag on their collar, you can view our walks. Also, the Rover App offers GPS tracking so you can see our walks through a completed Rover Card! Playtime is super important, if we’re not walking, we're playing! I offer a variety of high quality toys but encourage you to bring their favorites when boarded at my home. Familiar toys and blankets with the family's scent helps them adjust to new surroundings.

I find that leaving a pet with a stranger can be quite stressful for pet parents so breaking the ice with a casual meeting alleviates a lot of valid concerns. Setting up an advance "Meet and Greet" appt. prior to booking is highly recommended and best for all of us. However, if an advance intro is not possible, please contact me to discuss. Thank you.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
