About: My entire family loves dogs and cats. My mother, father, aunt, uncle, and cousins. I am a huge dog lover myself. I am not the type who sits and leaves the dog or cat alone. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and just cuddling with them while watching a movie. I am 31 years old. I drive and will travel anywhere in Staten Island or 15 mile radius of Old Bridge and Matawan. I am free weekends, and during the week at any time =) I work part time so I’m very flexible with scheduling. I also can accept last minute requests I only have cats, but have experience walking small dogs. My cats are indoor only, but have multiple cat trees, toys, games, treats, and cat tv. When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will ensure they are well fed and played with

About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our new puppy, Cooper. We were so worried about having to be away from him, but Taylor kept us updated on everything Cooper was doing. She bonded with him so well and even worked with him on playing fetch and training him to "drop it" We absolutely recommend her! Thanks so much, Taylor!

Jasmin was a great sitter and took care of my cat when I was away. My cat warmed up to her quickly, which is something she normally doesn’t do since she’s weary of strangers. Jasmin followed my instructions and did not have any issues.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.

She gave updates and was very responsive if I had any questions or other requests! Milo had a buddy for the weekend while I was gone, and I’d definitely book with her again! Thanks Lizbeth 😽🐾

About: I've been dog walking, sitting, boarding for over 10 years now! I had my German Shepherd Rony for 10 years and my life changed the day we brought him home. Because of him I have a super active lifestyle. I live to go on walks, hikes, runs, and love to explore new places and go on adventures! I've taken care of puppies that need basic training all the way to senior dogs that need extra care. From the smallest pups all the way to giants - I adore them all!! I am working from home, so your pet will always get endless love, belly rubs, walks, and anything and everything else they love! Having had my German shepherd that I trusted only a handful of people to take care of him, I understand the level of trust a pet owner must have for their pet sitter / walker, and I know I can be that temporary companion for them! :) hope to meet your pup soon!! I'm currently working from home so I am very flexible on walks, daily care, and pup sitting! I do request for dog sitting to get an early heads up as we love adventuring during the weekend. But if pet owner is ok with it, I would love to bring your pup along for the adventures!! :) I have a big fenced yard for plenty running and playing fetch, but I never leave your pup unattended! If needed, and your pup is crate trained I have different sized playpens and crates. I understand it takes every pup a different amount of time to get used to a new environment and I work with every pup individually. Just like humans, everyone has their own personality :)

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.
