About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.

About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was in high school, now going into year 7 of pet sitting. My unwavering dedication to personalized care for each pet is what I always focus on. I understand that each pet is unique, with its own needs and quirks, and I try and go the extra mile to tailor my services to meet those individual requirements I currently work hybrid as a software engineer but I make sure you pet’s needs are my first priority. From waking up early to give them attention & exercise, sharing my lunch break with your furry friend to take a walk and have a bathroom break, to helping me take breaks during my work hours for us to both stretch and go for a walk. Having constant communication with the owner & providing regular updates through messages, photos, or videos. Being prepared for any emergency by having a plan and knowing I need to bring your furry friend if an emergency may happen. Lastly, ensuring the safety within the home by removing anything that may be hazardous and keeping your furry friend in their designated area when needed to avoid any mishaps.

About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.

About: Small-town stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up caring for pets and currently we have 2 rescue pit bulls and 2 rescue cats. I’ve also fostered animals, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My kids are in school from 8–3, so after I care for my own animals in the morning, I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and visits. I already care for a full household of pets, so adding in Rover visits fits in smoothly with my schedule and daily animal care routine. In my home, our pets are treated like family and live indoors with us. They have access to a fenced yard and go outside as they please, along with regular walks and plenty of outdoor playtime when the weather is nice. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, walked or let out as needed, and receive plenty of attention, play, and affection while you’re away.
