About: I have been taking care of dogs for the past 4 years. I’ve come to learn the different breads and have acquired some basic training for dogs like teaching them to sit, paw, roll over etc. I love to play fetch with dogs too. They make me laugh and it offers them great exercise. I have a fenced in back yard so your dog can run around without having to worry about escaping. I have a pool which is open in the summer if your dog loves to play in the pool to get out of the hot sun. I am a full time teacher. I’m home at 3 pm everyday. I have breaks during the day and since I’m 5 minutes from work, it allows me to come home during the day to check up on the pups I’m watching. My weekends are free and I have summers over with vacations all rear round. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to play. I also have a pool and your pup can go in it during the summer when it’s open. I love to walk so me and your dog will be walking a lot.

About: I have been working with a variety of animals for about 14 years. Horses, cats, dogs, cows, etc. i really enjoy going on long or short walks and have a soft spot for senior pets. i currently work a full-time position during the week but have availability on all weekends for early, afternoon, or nighttime walks and check-ins I am currently working full time but work from home on fridays which makes me available for night time walks and have all weekends available for morning, afternoon, and night time walks. I currently live with two cats and am the one responsible for all their care. When I visit my family we have three dogs that I feed as well as walk

About: I grew up in a dog‑loving home and had the privilege of caring for several breeds over the years — first a Boxer, then a Siberian Husky, later a German Shepherd/Malamute mix, and eventually a Pomeranian. Being around such different personalities taught me how to understand dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Because of that experience, family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. No one will be assisting me with care. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention and care all day long. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m always close by. I also offer 24/7 boarding availability, ensuring your pet has a safe, supervised environment at all times. Your dog will have plenty of room to feel at home here. I live on an acre of land with a dog run and a peaceful neighborhood that’s ideal for daily walks. There’s even a small pond with geese right across the street, which many dogs find entertaining. Inside, the living room is designated as comfortable, pet‑friendly space where your dog can relax. I also provide a crate for dogs who prefer a cozy, enclosed sleeping area.

About: I have taken care of all animals from dogs to cats of all ages and sizes. I also have administered medication to seniors and have trained my own dog when he was a puppy. I am currently a college coach. I have a lot of time during the day to let pups out and play with them. I am very flexible. I will take your dogs out to play in the backyard or on a long walk / hike if you don’t have a fenced in yard.

About: I have professionally walked dogs for over 17 years. I was a receptionist for an Animal Hospital and have training for animals with special needs or require daily medications. I have many years experience owning and caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, bearded dragons, chickens, just to name a few. I really love helping people with their pets. Sometimes with a little training when necessary or minor healthcare issues. I also have experience with pregnant and nursing dogs. I offer puppy daycare and training. I have helped desperate owners keep their pets when the issues become serious problems. Sometimes just a few lessons about routine and consistency solve everything. I will take care of your baby like he/she is my own. How does pet care for into my daily routine? This is an odd question, anyone with a pet knows what the daily routine would be. Pet care varies from pet to pet but how I would care for anyones pet is how I would expect anyone to care for their own pets. Usually any pet I care for becomes bonded to me.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have one dog and two cats. In high school, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I helped care for animals by cleaning, feeding, socializing, and helping with their daily needs. Through my volunteer experience and caring for my own pets, I’ve become comfortable working with animals of different ages, sizes and personalities. I am home from college for the summer, so I am extremely flexible to work with your schedule and make sure your pet is cared for when needed. My pets at home are extremely loved and my best friends. I understand that every animal is different, so safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will take the time to learn the pets routine so they will be comfortable in their environment.

About: Pet care has been my life since age 10 🐾 Trusted for walks, feeding, bathing, companionship, and medication administration. Experienced with senior pets, special needs, and seizure management. Rescue parent to professionally trained dogs—your pet will be treated like family. Experienced, organized, and calm—even with a full pack. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making every dog and cat feel safe, happy, and cared for. A good walk and loving attention go a long way—your pets will feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. At my home will receive lots of love

About: What sets me apart is how deeply I care about your dog’s emotional experience when you’re not there. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my intention is always to create a sense of calm, safety, and genuine love. I pay close attention to their energy, their needs, and their comfort, so they never feel anxious or alone. With my background working with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and as a veterinary nurse, I bring both intuition and experience to every interaction, whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a gentle senior. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I already live a structured, active lifestyle centered around consistency and responsibility. I walk my own dog multiple times a day and spend time outdoors on local trails and along the Hudson River. I plan my schedule intentionally, which allows me to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for each dog I care for. This is not something I squeeze in. It is something I prioritize and build my day around. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with a strong focus on making them feel safe, calm, and loved in their environment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so nothing feels unfamiliar or stressful. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort, and adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. I keep communication open with owners so they always feel at ease, knowing their dog is not just being watched, but truly cared for.

About: I've always been happiest when I am around furry friends. I have worked in a Veterinary Office in thr past for 5 years and have gained a vast amount of knowledge of all different types of dogs & cats and understand they all have their own individual needs. I am able to administer medicine, take on long walks, even more active ones if requested being that I am very active myself. And for my senior dogs I am aware some need to go out more, or help with stairs etc. Some even love to get into things and need to be looked over a little more! I am very caring and trustworthy and will give your dog the best experience & care to meet your standard, keeping them happy, healthy & safe. References also available at request. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule and a lot of open availability. Since I make my own schedule at work I am flexible. I care for pets at their own homes where I find it to be the best to stay in their environment and comfortable where I can come and stay with them or take care of them as needed.

About: I am a huge animal lover! I was a camp counselor at a daycare/boarding facility where dogs interacted and played together all day. I supervised up to 30+ dogs daily, and I have had hands-on experience with little and big dogs. I fed, cleaned, bathed, and administered medications that don't involve needles. I also have a lot of hands-on experience with cats and fish. I'm a huge animal lover, and I love children as well. I am not able to watch pets in my home, because of the pets I already have. However, I would be 100% willing to stay in your home to care for your beloved family member, or make visits. :)! I'm currently working as a 7th-grade English teacher in the Rockland County area from 9:00-3:40. I'm lucky enough to have awesome work hours that allow me to take care of pets as needed! Currently I can't watch other animals in my home because I have two cats of my own and a new puppy! All 3 of my animals are spoiled rotten! They have so many toys, tons of playtime, and the best of the best quality food and treats! I love my animals like my children, I even had a puppy shower for my new puppy! (Ask me for photos, and I will show you lol!) It's important to me, that your fur baby is comfortable, safe, and well taken care of. I will try my best to mimic your pet's schedule and keep them feeling pawsitively happy!

“April was so nice and our girls loved her. Very easy to work with! She took them both on long walks and didn’t mind their puppy energy at all. We will def use her again!! Thank you very much April for taking good care of our girls.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was four years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs, and my friends and family joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs seem to gravitate toward me everywhere I go. Whether I’m on vacation or just out running errands, I can’t resist stopping to say hello to every dog I see. I’m also the kind of person who goes to a party and ends up spending most of my time playing with the dogs instead of socializing! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My childhood dog recently passed away after 16 wonderful years, and during her senior years I gave her daily medication, made sure our walks were comfortable with plenty of breaks, and, most importantly, gave her all the love and care she deserved. I also have a senior Chihuahua-Poodle mix who needs daily medication and occasional help getting onto the couch or bed, so I’m very comfortable caring for older dogs and understanding their unique needs. I also have a younger dog that I raised and helped potty train, and I’ve taught her several fun tricks, giving me experience with puppies and basic training as well. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and every owner feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so every day includes feeding them, taking them on walks, giving one of my senior dogs his daily medication, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and potty schedules, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they always have fresh water. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.

Additionally, our 6 year-old daughter has enough energy to provide tons of additional fetch and chase time. We also have a 1 year old that can’t wait to get in on the action!

“I cannot say enough good things about Liz! I get a detailed summary complete with beautiful pictures of my super happy pup after his walks with her. I work 12 hour shifts and knowing that Liz is coming in to give my fur baby the attention an exercise he needs on the days I'm workingreally takes a huge weight off my shoulders. I love reading her recap of their time together and looking at the pictures of my very happy dog! ♥️”

About: I’m a full time grad student and adjunct professor. I have experience with senior and sick dogs, puppies full of energy, giant and little dogs, cats, birds, and lizards. I have a reliable SUV ready to be filled with pups on their way to the park! Thanks for considering me. I currently work from home and go to school from home as well. I enjoy exercising and taking long, nature walks. I sometimes spend a few hours a day at the library, but have a very flexible schedule. I am respectful of the client’s home and rules for their home and pets. I am hyper vigilant and prioritize the needs of the pet. I am a very safe driver and have never been in an accident, so you won’t have to worry if your pup takes a trip to the dog park.

“My sister referred Yhakerra to me and she was amazing with my semi anxious dog! We booked her for dog walking while I was traveling. She was patient and calm with my dog, she provided updates daily and was responsive. I 100% trust her and will be bookings again!”
