House Sitting Plainsboro Center

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past couple years. I have taken care of both family and friends dogs as well as neighbors from word of mouth. I am currently working remotely part time from home so I am generally pretty free to dog sit or pop in to feed any pets during the day. I can't take care of any pets in my home, but can go to your home and either dog sit from there or walk your dog.

“Gabriella was STELLAR with our pups while we were on vacation! Kept us updated frequently and left them happy and tired. Would absolutely work with her again.”

“It was such a delight to work with Vee! From our first interactions and meet-up to the final day of her stay with our dog in our home, it was clear that Vee is a pro and thinks of every single detail. She watched our dog during our longest trip so far, and we felt so comfortable knowing that she was keeping our dog safe and happy! She sent regular updates and pics so that we didn’t worry for a second. It was clear our dog was so loved with Vee and we will absolutely reach out again when we are traveling!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, including two Labrador Retrievers named Maverick and Goose, and a Beagle that I cared for over 10 years, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, exercise, and understanding different personalities. I’ve also done several overnight house-sitting and dog care jobs, working with a wide range of breeds, from small dogs like pugs to larger, high-energy dogs like huskies. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and caring for them. The first animal I really fell in love with was a manatee when I was about 5 years old living in Florida, and that kind of stuck with me. My time as a kid was spent at the beach boogie boarding out into the ocean hoping a dolphin would find me and become my friend. Growing up, I loved going to the aquarium and the zoo to learn about different animals, and I’ve always been especially drawn to red pandas and stingrays. That curiosity and appreciation carries over into how I care for pets—I really enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe and happy. In addition, I have a lot of hands-on caregiving experience through taking care of my brother who has special needs, as well as working with special needs youth. That’s taught me to be patient, attentive, and very in tune with individual needs, which I bring into how I care for animals as well. Pet care honestly fits into my routine really naturally because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I have a part-time job in the mornings and some evenings, so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to spend quality time with dogs—whether that’s going on long walks, stopping by for visits, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I grew up with dogs and took care of my Beagle for 10 years, so I’m very used to building my day around their needs. It doesn’t feel like a task to me—it’s something I love doing. Being around dogs, getting outside, and making sure they’re happy and cared for is something I naturally make time for every day. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by sticking closely to their normal routine. I know how important consistency is, so I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions carefully. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure their dog is always supervised and within my sight. I pay attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to what they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just relaxing together so they don’t feel alone. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I create a calm, safe environment where they get plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime. I really just try to treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy and cared for the whole time.

“Marissa was wonderful. I was lucky enough to get her on very short notice to do in-house overnight visits with my cat. Marissa was professional, communicative, and generally gave me great peace of mind while I was away I will definitely be rebooking the next time I’m going out of town!”

“Boryana took amazing care of our senior pitbull, Brady. She was very patient with his quirks and eccentricities (e.g. he has acquired a habit of lying down for rests mid-walk). He often seems a little out of sorts after we come back from a long trip, but this time he was very relaxed and happy. Communication was top notch and our house was left in perfect condition. We can't recommend Boryana highly enough, and hope she'll be available to take care of Brady again in the future!”

About: Experienced with both large and small dogs, as well as senior dogs. My last dog was a husky, so I’m no stranger to dogs with high exercise needs as well! Looking forward to helping your family (both furry and otherwise!) this summer. ***From 8/14 - 8/31 I have open availability! I have left my general availability outlined below, but I will be available all day/night Monday-Sunday for the next two weeks.*** General Availability: I currently work part time Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I can be very flexible to meet your needs Thursday-Sunday, and am available for early morning and/or late evening care Monday-Wednesday. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home, but am happy to feed, walk, play with, or just keep an eye on your pet in your home.

“Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!”

“Kyra was great with my dogs! She sent lots of pictures while I was away and left my house in great condition. I will definitely have her back!”

About: Diagnosed with allergies in childhood, I didn’t have pets until in my 20s, when I picked a week-old kitten from a litter & raised him. Thelonious used to walk between my shoulders as I moved around the house, and slept in my bed. Friends told me he behaved more like a dog than a cat—very affectionate. We were very close. His death broke my heart & I still miss him. Seven years ago, I did cat-sitting for a friend whose apartment in NYC I stayed in for a summer while working nearby on Varick Street. He was a very easygoing cat. Years later, my stepson left his dogs at our house & I was their primary minder. I fed, walked & played with them every day. Although I’d been around dogs a lot growing up, it’s one thing to be around them & another to be responsible for them & develop relationships with them. Each of the dogs had a very distinct personality, and I found them fascinating. Through those & other experiences with friends’ pets, I’ve found that I’m able to make connections with animals that go beyond words. I never would have imagined such a thing in childhood. These days I do house sitting & drop-ins for clients in Monmouth & Mercer Counties. I’m tending to pets with a wide range of needs & dispositions, and love I give is more than equaled by the love I receive from them. I’m truly humbled & in awe. Professionally, I managed desktop publishing & automated publishing for a Fortune 500 financial firm for 20 years. So I have a long track record of responsibility & discipline. That combination of sensitivity & responsibility are what I bring to pet sitting. I only accept clients living within a 30-minute drive from my home, and my routines at home are easily adaptable to meet my clients’ needs. That means my highly flexible schedule allows me to provide your cat with the consistent time, routine, and attention they deserve while you are gone. I don’t rush my check-ins; I stay the full duration to ensure your cat gets plenty of physical play and mental stimulation. Because my hours are highly adaptable, I can drop in at the exact times your cat expects breakfast, dinner, or treats. I’m happy to take photos during my stay to enable you as the pet owner to feel secure about your pet’s care in your absence. I like to play with & talk to pets, and try to adhere to their normal routines, so they, too, feel comfortable in your absence.

“Sharyn went 1000% above and beyond for our Jace ! She was patient, kind, understanding and empathetic with our scarred little pup. I was very nervous leaving him at home while we went on vacation but Sharyn eased my mind and treated jace with an overwhelming amount of care. I cant say enough amazing things about her !”

“Linda gave our dog lots of attention and watched over our home while we were away. She’s very kind and thoughtful.”

“Yasmine was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend! My girls aren't too difficult but they are certainly particular and Yasmine killed it. She stayed at my place for a week and when I returned, it looked exactly as I had left it. I've finally come home from a trip and genuinely felt like my girls were taken care of.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I now have an amazing female golden retriever who is very docile and sweet with all dogs (as long as they are not aggressive with her). She is truly awesome-Just like your guy or girl! We love having animals in our home, playing, walking and hanging out. I have been hosting dogs in my home for over a year now. I’m a mom who is home so I have a flexible schedule. Ideally I’m looking to host a dog 2-5 days a week during the day/early evening. Leave your pet with me and guarantee they will be happy, well taken care of and having lots of fun! My home is a friendly, clutter free, safe and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in yard for potty breaks in between our walks and we have a lot of fun playing and relaxing in the house

“Joanne was a delight to work with and my pet Duke absolutely adored her! As a first time Rover user having someone watch our pet overnight, I didn’t know what to expect but Joanne made it so easy. I would highly recommend Joanne and her pet sitting services. She was reliable, dependable, treated my pet like her own, and also treated my home like her own. I will definitely be asking Joanne to watch Duke again!”

“Short review, Rita is great. Long review. Rita is extremely professional and takes her responsibilities and commitments extremely seriously. She is open about scheduling conflicts in a way that ensures that the quality of care of your pet won't be compromised. She has been extremely flexible and adapted to meet our needs both scheduling and care wise. During her time with our puppy, she remained extremely responsive and proactively shared photos and updates. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and highly recommend Rita.”
