“Maia was awesome with our kitties - they warmed right up to her. She took very good care, was very responsive and communicative, and took lots of pictures. I’ll be very happy to use Maia again!”


About: Hi, this is Connie! I literally grew up with dogs and have 13+ years of experience caring for them. Not only do I treat pets like family, but I firmly believe they are family. I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and cater to each one. Your pup will feel loved, safe, and happy with me. I’m a freelancer, currently working from home in Princeton, NJ. Pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine, no matter the time of day! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break or an afternoon play session, I’m always available and flexible. I’ll treat your furry friend’s schedule like my own priority. Safety always comes first for me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure, just like at home. When I'm at your place, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. When your pup stays with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe, and fun place. No messy surprises, no rushing, just genuine love, patience, and a little wagging-tail guarantee.

About: Since I was born, I have been surrounded by animals and have discovered my strong love for all types of them. I have had dogs and cats all of my life, and have had my own horse since I was 12. I have utilized the knowledge of veterinary care that I have learned while caring for my own horse with all animals. Caring for and spending time with animals is a passion of mine, and I would love to be able to share that with yours! I am also a Registered Nurse at RWJBarnabas. I work M-F 7:30AM-4PM. Weekends are free, however during the week if your pet needs to be let out during the day I will not be available unless it is before/after work. I’m happy to take your animals for walks outside of their yard, stay with them for the night, etc. I’m flexible and would love to do whatever fits best for your pet!
About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them

About: I have always loved animals. Beginning in middle school, I would always volunteer at shelters because I saw the great need for help with so many dogs that had been abandoned or rescued from neglect. and I myself decided to adopt a few of them and give them the life meant for a prince or princess:) I am always vigilant to their wellbeing, I love playing with them, they give so much unconditional love. I love my dogs with all my heart. I currently work with an attorney as a paralegal in Princeton Junction, NJ. I get plenty of breaks during the day, and that’s when I take care of dogs! 🐕 🐕🐕 I can always work around your schedule and your needs. I can dog sit at night, and/or overnight boarding, Saturday and Sunday all day:) I am also available during the day to walk dogs and check up on them❤️ My parents have a big fenced in yard, which is great for my 2 dogs to play around. There’s also a big dog park not far for more playtime and there’s plenty of playgrounds too to take the doggies for a walk.

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs for as long as I can remember my time alive. I grew up with dogs and cats of my own as well as helping with taking care of others dogs and cats. I currently have 2 of my own cats one I have had for 6 years and the other is a new addition who I have had for 1 year now. I’m currently a college student but I will be off for the entire summer so I am free 99% of the time for your furry friends! I have a cozy 1 bedroom apartment on the third floor with 2 of my own friendly kitties at home. I keep it clean and comfortable!
“Patty watched our kitties for the second time and did a wonderful job! She always takes the time to play with them after feeding and goes the extra mile for us!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been the one in my family responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with them. I have also pet-sat for my neighbors’ dogs and recently helped take care of a friend’s Golden Retriever, where I walked, fed, and played with her regularly. In addition, I volunteered for two summers at my local pet shelter, where I cleaned cat areas and spent time playing and socializing with the cats. I currently have a black lab at my parents’ house while I attend college. Overall, I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am a college student on summer break with full availability, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am available Monday through Sunday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am not offering services where pets stay in my home.
Plainsboro dog parents share their Rover experiences
It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.
