Nicole was very detailed oriented and super communicator. My 4 year old beagle, Emma, loved her very much. The 1st encounter was very successful and we are looking forward to having the next one soon.

Megan was great with my 16 year old Senior baby Rocky. She was very attentive to all of his needs which included administering his medications. I would recommend her to other dog moms with senior dogs.

About: Ive had a passion for animals of all kinds ever since I was little and was the go to if friends or family needed help. I can help with cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs . Im currently in school for dog grooming and can offer baths. Let me help your pet to feel and look thier best. I currently just moved back to my home town of Bordentown. I am currently looking for work so i am able to devote my time to caring for your pet. Ive been a nurse aide for the past 13 years. Once I find a job i plan to update my days and hours but hope to find steady clients so I can continue my passion of pet care. Every pet has different needs and likes i will adjust to the needs of the pet parent/pet. I can come up with ideas once I meet the pet but can also go by a list of the pet parents needs.

As always, Lisa did a wonderful job caring for our two fur babies! She provided photo updates with each visit, which is such a reassurance when we're away. We came home to two happy kitties. Thank you so much for providing such great care - and peace of mind for us!

James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!

Giana was great! She took care of our two pups for 3 days while we were out of town and was great with communication. One of our dogs is more skittish and people shy and Giana was very patient and willing to try all the tricks to get her outside. I would book Giana again!

About: As a kid, I was the reason my parents got a dog that I ended up loving and taking care of during my childhood. I have always loved animals and as an adult now I have had a cat for 5 years. Dogs and cats always end up loving me as I always love them back!

If you want someone who will love and care for your pet I am that person! I am currently flexible part time for pet care. I can take care of your pet in the morning or the afternoon for the most part and can be available on weekends as well Currently not able to care for pets in my home, but I will be able to go to your home and care for your pet if needed. I am respectful and will adhere to any instructions you put out for taking care of your pet in your home.

About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with 20 years of experience in general practice, emergency & critical care, and radiation oncology. My career has been dedicated to providing attentive, high level care to animals, with a focus on safety, comfort, and individualized attention. As a military spouse for the past 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in veterinary practices across the country, gaining extensive specialty experience and caring for pets with a wide range of medical and emotional needs. These experiences shaped my calm, adaptable approach and deep understanding that every pet deserves thoughtful, personalized care. I am certified in both Basic Life Support (BLS CPR) and Advanced Life Support (ALS CPR), and I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious pets, post procedure/operative patients, and medically complex animals who benefit from experienced handling and close observation. My goal is to provide a seamless, stress free experience for both pets and their owners. Whether your pet prefers quiet companionship, structured routines, or extra reassurance while you’re away, they will be cared for with professionalism, patience, and genuine affection. I understand the level of trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to offer the same level of attentiveness and reliability I would want for my own animals. After spending 20 years in veterinary specialty hospitals, I’ve decided to step away from clinical medicine and focus on what I love most, providing compassionate, personalized care for pets in my community. My background allows me to comfortably care for pets with specialized medical needs, seniors, anxiety, medications, and post-procedure care. While safety and medical knowledge are a huge part of my experience, my goal now is simple: to give pets the love, comfort, cuddles, patience, and pampering they deserve. As someone who understands that unexpected work trips, emergencies, long days, and last minute plans happen, I purposely keep my schedule as open and flexible as possible to help support pet owners when they need it most. At this time, I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home environment rather than offering in home boarding or daycare services. I currently have pets of my own at home, and I believe this allows me to give your pet the safest, calmest, and most individualized experience possible in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. Providing care in your home also helps minimize stress, maintain routines, and allows me to focus on personalized attention, specialized care, cuddles, companionship, and pampering tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

We've booked with Natalie several times before and she has been consistently great in taking care of our two cats. She did everything we asked, navigated our security system with no problem, took thoughtful care of our cats and kept us informed how they were doing. We will be booking with her again.

About: I’ve always been very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I previously worked as a pet sitter caring for a home with 7 cats and understand how important routine, cleanliness, patience, and attention are for pets while their owners are away. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and currently care for 6 cats of my own, so I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already care for multiple cats of my own every day. I’m currently available Wednesday evenings, Thursdays, and Fridays for drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and given attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important routines are for animals, especially cats, and I carefully follow feeding instructions, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focus on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Hi! I’ve owned, cared for, groomed, trained, and boarded dogs of all breeds for over 20 years. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior snuggler, I treat every fur baby like they’re my own family. In addition to dog sitting and boarding, I also offer daily dog walks and runs—perfect for pups who need a bathroom break, exercise, or just some fresh air and love while you're at work or away. I’m available for midday walks, morning strolls, evening outings, or energetic runs, and I tailor each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m familiar with handling all kinds of dogs—from leash pullers to laid-back seniors—and I’m happy to accommodate special requests. Whether your pup loves the park, a quiet neighborhood stroll, or a brisk jog, I’ve got you covered. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving your dog plenty of attention and companionship, I’m available to make sure their needs are met consistently. My routine revolves around providing a calm, loving environment where each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. You can rest easy knowing your dog will be treated like family—with the utmost love, attention, and care—whether we’re snuggled up at home or out on an adventure together. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Tail wags and happy paws guaranteed!

About: I worked at a pet store and dog sat all through high school, so I’m very attentive to different pup’s needs, especially ones with dietary restrictions and other physical or mental health needs. My schedule is very open, since I’m on summer break from my regular full time job as a student :). I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, well fed, and exercised! I have a lot of experience handling dogs with varied personalities and needs, so a lot of how I’ll take care of them will depend on the individual pup.
