Pet care experience

Pampered Pooches of Princeton :P

A reliable and detail-oriented care giver, you can be sure that your pup will receive plenty of love and individual attention while under my watch. I work from home and offer my services to provide a home-away-from-home family experience for your pup while you are away. Only one dog is booked at a time, which allows for plenty of individual attention, frequent outside breaks, and continuous company throughout the day. A perfect situation for those that may be nervous while away from their humans. Drop-in care and walking services are also offered. In all cases, your pup will be spoiled with plenty of positive interaction -- loaded with head pats and bully rubs! I also work on obedience training, if requested, which is included at no charge while I am with your pup. Whether you are working with your pup's behavior -- breaking bad habits OR creating new, positive ones -- I will reinforce your efforts. My demeanor is gentle, soft-spoken and encouraging, as your pup will respond and learn best under these circumstances.

I had wonderful experience with Cheryl. She took excellent care of our cat while we were away. I appreciated regular updates and photos daily. Luke can be shy with new people but he quickly warmed up to Cheryl. We came home to a happy cat and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable and attentive pat sitter. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Another wonderful experience with Cheryl! Our nervous little pup seems totally at ease with her. Cheryl is also a prompt and responsive communicator.

It’s a total peace of mind boarding my fur baby with Cheryl. I don’t feel guilty anymore whenever we travel. Cheryl is truly the best.

On her “first date” with Cheryl, our dog was comfortable right away, even though she’s often nervous when she’s away from us and meeting new people. Not only was Cheryl wonderful with our dog, she also was prompt and responsive in her communications with us. We will definitely call on Cheryl to dog sit again. Thank you, Cheryl!

Schedule

Typically, I will take 1-2 longer walks per day with frequent shorter breaks during work hours. This works well especially during the hotter months, so as not to overheat my furry guests!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a townhouse on a quiet street with little traffic. Our home office is located on the ground floor with an enclosed and secure courtyard walk out. This allows for some quiet fresh air and sunnaps without extraneous visual stimulus.

Pets

A typical day

I work at home and your pup will have one-on-one continuous companionship and care while with me. Only one pup stays with me at a time and receives frequent outdoor breaks and loads of attention. Fresh air and walks are big on my list! Activity level and walking distance will be adjusted as appropriate. For a drop-in at your home, I will have off-leash exercise in an outside secure area, if available. I also cater to seniors who may not have the stamina for long walks and play, by providing the outdoor stimulus that most dogs crave. We'll enjoy a respite in a comfy spot and watch/listen/smell all the wonders their surroundings offer!

My biggest concern is to make your pet feel comfortable and relaxed. I would want to know If your pup has anxiety, fear, or aggression and any known triggers. When coming from a foundation of trust, your pup will be more at ease, allowing for a more positive interaction and rewarding time together.
