Anna took care of my very anxious cat when I unexpectedly had to leave town. She was very helpful and sent reassuring updated and nice photos. Thank you for your help!

About: Living in New Brunswick with some friends. I have cats but I'm not allowed dogs in our house. Growing up with dogs it's hard to be away from them. Taking care of someone else's pets would be a pleasure and would brighten my day. I walk to work everyday and live outside Rutgers campuses and near some beautiful parks, giving me tons of places to bring your dogs and the stamina to keep up with them on long walks.My oldest dog back home is a big pitbull, so big dogs are right up my alley, and both my dogs can get quite rowdy so I know how to handle animals when they get out of control. I'm current working a part time job making it easy for me to spend valuable time with your pets! I'm available most mornings and all nights. I enjoy going on quiet walks in places without too much hustle and bustle. If your pet gets overwhelmed in rowdy environments, you can count on me to give the a calm yet playful day.

This is our second time using Cristina and we are just as impressed and thankful for her detailed and loving care as we were the first time around. She handled our older cats incredibly well, and had no issues administering medication. She even fed our bunny while we were gone. Cristina goes above and beyond! We will definitely use her again.

Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!

Berthie was phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Berthie again. Continuously updated me with pictures and blurbs about how my dog was doing. My dog is adjusting to a new apartment and had been having accidents and Berthie not only updated me on her status, but ensured he would clean up if she had any accidents. I 100% would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter/Walker.

Lizbeth was great with my boy while I was gone! She was super accommodating with both of our schedules and I was able to book with her within short notice as well. She gave updates and was very responsive if I had any questions or other requests! Milo had a buddy for the weekend while I was gone, and I’d definitely book with her again! Thanks Lizbeth 😽🐾

About: I am extremely passionate about animals. I have owned 3 dogs (big and small) throughout the last 16 years. I also have 2 adult cats. I have 6 years of cat fostering experience for an animal shelter (fostered 20 cats during that time, kittens and adult cats). I have been a volunteer for the animal shelter SAVE for several years, where I take care of cats and walk dogs. Lots of experience with kittens/cats, puppies/dogs of all ages. I am also a medical student, so I am very responsible and trustworthy and will take amazing care of your pets. I am a medical student with a very flexible schedule that varies weekly. I am available most weekdays in the afternoon and on weekends and would be happy to find a time that works best for you. I can adapt to any of your pet's needs. From playing with your pet, feeding them, giving them medications, walking them or bathing/brushing them, your pet will be in excellent, loving hands.

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up caring for my Shih Tzu and my pit/beagle mix, who are now happily playing over the rainbow bridge. They taught me the importance of patience, attention, and unconditional love, and I hope to share that same nurturing care with the fur babies in my community. I work a typical 9–5 job, with remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule with advanced notice to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or keeping them company, I will treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive support and regular updates for your peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup, and I look forward to caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work 9 am-5 pm. In office Tuesdays - Thursdays in Princeton/North Brunswick, WFH Mondays and Friday North Brunswick/South Amboy. Flexible with advanced notice! I travel between South Amboy, North Brunswick and Princeton areas. Again, my schedule can be super flexible depending on date and time and we can arrange something! care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. In my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, clean space. I also take time to understand each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they prefer active play, relaxed companionship, or extra patience if they’re shy. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs!

About: Hello!! My name is Chieh-Yin, but you can call me me Alvita:)) I’ve been a big animal lover since I was little. I adopted my first dog, Melon, from a shelter when I was in first grade, so I grew up with her and my senior cat, Kiki. I learned how to care for both and older cats from a young age, and it’s been such a special journey. Later on, I found my second cat, Brown Sugar, as a tiny three-month-old kitten, and I raised her from that sweet age. As Melon got older, I took her to the vet every week, gave her meds, and made sure she was comfy in her senior years. I also later took in another kitten, and just recently, we welcomed a new puppy, Ayla, when she was just two months old. So now, I’m loving every moment of raising a puppy, too! And a few years ago, I was also a foster for a guide dog, where I took classes to learn how to train and care for them. Every step of the way—whether it’s a puppy, kitten, senior dog, or cat—I just love giving them the care, comfort, and attention they need. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions:)) I’m currently staying at home. My time is pretty flexible. I can do daily visit or walking whenever your baby needs someone to take care of. I live in a house with a big fenced yard at the back. For day care, your baby will have plenty of space to play and run! For daily visits, I like to make sure all the babies have a nice and clean environment to rest first, then I would love to spend some time with them!!! Of course, will always keep you updated about your fur baby!!

Kelly updated me almost daily of activities and sent pictures. Cats are young and Zeus was shy the first week but eventually came out. We were all back to normal routine next day. Kelly followed all our requests for feeding,etc. Only complaint with Cat in a Flat was that I could not contact anyone during scheduling and negotiating rate.

About: I have been fostering for over 15 years and petsitting for about 5 of those years. I took a break for some time when I moved to Texas, and then the pandemic added to that. Most recently, I was taking care of my grandmothers dog.. essentially a hospice situation, and spent most of my time loving up on him. Since his passing, I would love to get back into it so can provide care and love. I’m used to all breeds, but have the most experience with bully breeds chihuahuas, and most medium size breeds like shitzhus, Maltese’s, and schnauzers. Very comfortable providing oral or topical ointments.. nothing really grosses me out. I enjoy providing baths and making sure your furry friend is feeling their best. Especially for my dirty white dogs with the crusty eyes (lol)! Overall, I treat every pet that walks into my life like it were my own. I take pride in knowing that I’m giving someone’s pet lots of love and care while their owner is away. I want them to feel like they’re hanging with a friend and try to alleviate any stress. Leaving your baby for any period of time is tough, so knowing you have someone you can trust to be an extension of you is all I want. I lost my job recently, so I’ll have a lot more time for walks, feedings, and of course cuddle time with the puppies. Other than caring for my own kitty, my time would really be catered to your needs as an owner should you choose me to help take care of your little one. Our home has a partially fenced in yard that we can allow your pet to enjoy. There’s a full basement, living room, and bedroom that the pups can enjoy relaxing in and hanging out. There’s space for a crate as well for those who are or in the process of training.

Gary took such great care of my animals. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so there’s a lot to do and remember. He took the time to get to know all of them and their routines. It makes going away much easier knowing they are being taken care of so well. I will definitely use Gary again and highly recommend him for anyone looking for pet care.
