Pet Sitting in New Brunswick

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.

“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!”

“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.”

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.

“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!”

“Cristina did amazing. Fifa has medical issues and needs quite a few meds twice a day. She took care of him at our home for drop ins, sent pictures and set up the house for him after each visit to be comfy.”

“Laura was pleasant ,considerate, flexible, and followed directions perfectly. She communicated with me through her drop in and made sure Nova was well cared for ( and got her to poop which is a big deal to us 😂). Would highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since the age of 10. Families, friends neighbors always replied on me to pet sit for them. I’m very comfortable with any types of dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of all age range’s from puppies/kittens to seniors cats/dog. I currently work full-time, but I have time on Friday and Saturday to play with pets! I can board pets Thursday-Sunday! I am very consistent with routine and stay to a strict schedule I have a apartment that is very cat friendly. I have my own cat who is friendly with other pets and she can keep your fur baby company!

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!

“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 😽🐾”

“Amanda was absolutely amazing with our big girl! She was intentional, loving evee cleaned up the mess my girl made. Thank you Amanda!!! Wish you could be around longer. I look forward to your referrals.”

“I felt so much better knowing Rebecca was taking care of Woody while I was away. It was truly a last-minute decision to hire her (around 10pm we agreed for her to come the next morning at 7am!) and she arrived on time to meet Woody and get acclimated briefly with the space, before I jetted off for my trip. She sent pictures for each visit and did everything as expected. Rebecca, who also works a tough overnight job, strikes me as the sort of person who could probably handle ANY job competently, from dog sitting to running a company — it’s a work ethic thing.”

About: I have been living with dogs since I came home from the hospital the day I was born. I have a lot of energy and spend a lot of time walking on the beach already, so it would be no inconvenience to me to walk dogs in my neighborhood. I work weeknights and weekends at a restaurant, so I have open availability during the days to walk dogs and care for them. I also enjoy mid day walks, so it would allow me to earn money and get exercise at the same time. I am an athletic individual who would be able to control a reasonably sized dog. I would also be able to go for long distance walks to get dogs the exercise they need

About: With years of experience caring for pets, I bring dependable, loving care you can trust. I keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy, healthy, and in great hands. I’m currently working part-time & I just finished undergraduate school so I will have plenty of time to care and give attention to your pet ! I let my pet roam around freely around my home with closed doors to bathrooms and kitchen spaces that could be considered unsafe or allow them to get into anything of harm.

About: For the past three years, I have provided reliable and attentive care for dogs during extended summer vacations, ensuring pets remain comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My experience includes daily feeding, walks, playtime, maintaining routines, and creating a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel secure even when their owners are traveling. In addition to pet sitting, I live in a home with a Husky, a German Shepherd–Husky mix, and a Yakutian Laika, so caring for energetic, intelligent, and high-needs breeds is already part of my everyday life. This hands-on experience has strengthened my understanding of exercise needs, behavioral cues, patience, and consistent supervision, especially for active working breeds that require both physical and mental engagement. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, so I focus on providing personalized care, attention, and positive interaction tailored to each pet. Whether supporting high-energy dogs or helping more relaxed pets feel calm and at ease, my goal is always a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I also provide regular updates and communication so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands throughout their time away. I maintain a flexible daily schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I currently work part-time cleaning cars, which gives me structured hours while still leaving plenty of availability throughout the day. In addition, I work as a freelancer on Upwork, completing projects remotely. This allows me to manage my time independently and adjust my workload as needed. Because both of my roles offer flexibility, I’m able to accommodate pet care responsibilities such as walks, drop-ins, feeding, and extended stays. Whether your pet needs consistent daily attention or last-minute care, I can adapt my schedule to meet their needs and ensure they receive the time and attention they deserve. I take pride in being dependable, organized, and responsive, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands while you’re away. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I prioritize clear and consistent communication with the owner. Every pet has a unique personality, so I make sure to learn about their temperament, routines, triggers, and preferences ahead of time. This includes understanding how they interact with other animals, how they respond to new environments, and any specific behaviors I should be aware of. I also take time to go over the safety measures that owners already have in place such as leash routines, feeding guidelines, crate use, or boundaries within the home so I can follow them closely and maintain consistency for the pet. Sticking to the owner’s established structure helps reduce stress and keeps the pet comfortable and secure. Throughout the booking, I stay in touch with regular updates, photos, and messages so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, familiar, and low-stress environment while making sure both the pet and owner feel confident and informed at all times.

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.

I make sure they are happy and content, fed, and walked. I follow all the directions provided by the pets owners.

“Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!”
