One of my favorite parts of Pet Palooza in Livingston this past weekend wasn’t just meeting new people and playing with an unreasonable number of adorable puppies — it was getting to spend some time with Ayelen, or Aye, our longest-running Scooper.
Aye stopped by to hang out with us and brought her pre-teen son, Robby, who promptly fell completely in love with all the puppies at the event. She also had Corky with her, one of the pups she cares for through her own pet-care business, Aye’s Puppy Love.
Seeing all of them there together felt like the perfect excuse to finally give Aye the spotlight she deserves.
Aye has been scooping with Big Business Scoopers for more than six years, having joined us during the height of COVID, when pet waste removal was deemed an essential service and we continued caring for our clients’ yards through a very unusual time.
She originally trained with my dad, back when both of my parents were still actively involved in our family business. He still speaks incredibly fondly of her and is so happy that, all these years later, she continues to be such an important part of Big Business Scoopers as we grow.
Today, Aye scoops five days a week, including some of our busiest and most densely packed service areas, such as the Caldwells, Union, and Westfield. She’s also one of our bilingual Scoopers, something we’re very happy to be able to offer our clients whenever needed.
If you spend any time reading through our five-star Google reviews, you’ll see the impact she’s had there too. A number of those reviews are a direct reflection of Aye’s reliability, professionalism, and the personal care she gives our clients and their dogs.
Over six years, you get to know a lot of dogs — and a lot of dogs get to know you.
That has led to a really wonderful overlap between Big Business Scoopers and Aye’s Puppy Love. Several of our longtime clients now also trust Aye with pet sitting and dog care, and they love having someone their dogs already recognize and feel comfortable with.
Through Aye’s Puppy Love, she offers dog walking and visits, overnight stays, in-home pet care, and customized care based on each pet and family. Her current services include 30-minute dog walks or visits for $28, one-hour visits for $38, overnight stays starting at $85 per night for one dog, and in-home care for $65 per night, with custom pricing available.
You can reach Aye at 908-590-1692 or find her on Instagram at @_aye.puppy.love.
We talk a lot about experience at Big Business Scoopers, but experience isn’t just about how long the company has existed. It’s also about the people who have stayed, grown with us, built relationships with our clients, and become familiar faces to their dogs.
Aye is a huge part of that story — and we’re very lucky and proud to have her. ❤️
