House Sitting in Princeton

“Mary was very sweet, she was able to help us out on short notice, she was lovely with the dogs, and very understanding of our goofball dog, Blue. She took the dogs on walks, played with them in the yard, and kept them company through the night. We highly recommend Mary to give your dogs the care and love they deserve while your away. Because dogs are family, and she treats them like her family which we loved!”

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve had animals around since I was in diapers. I rescue them to this day! I have three rescues in my home and I provide top notch care, just read my reviews. I treat everyone’s pets as my own. I’d be happy to care for your furry friends Anyday!!! I’m a stay at home mother of a two year old boy. I have plenty of free time to take care of my home and animals and your animals too! It would be easier for everyone for me to watch your pets in MY home or do drop ins at your place. I have a separate area for cats. My dogs typically roam upstairs and the cats play downstairs in their own little sanctuary. I like to make sure every one is comfortable <3 I have a large yard for dogs to run around in and a small dog run area that’s fenced in. I’m open to keeping your dogs inside my home that way I can keep a good eye on them but if they want to hang out in the yard that’s fine too. I do enjoy going to the dog park so if that’s okay with YOU then I’m open to that which is right around the corner from my house (lucky me:) I’m very experienced with use of kennels for training too. I have a lot of experience with all animals and that gentle nature they’re attracted to.

“Dylan is amazing!! Very communicative, was comfortable watching our 3 month old puppy :) had no issues at all. We had no worries leaving Mac with her. Have already rebooked for a few other occasions. Highly recommend!”

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so you’re pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

“Kara did amazing with Stella! I never leave Stella alone, she goes everywhere with me but I had complete peace of mind leaving her in Kara’s care over the weekend! She sent me the best, cutest pictures of little Stella Bean and kept me updated through the night and morning! Definitely an amazing experience overall!”

About: I've volunteered at an animal shelter and a zoo working with all types of animals. I was a dog handler at a dog daycare for 2 years where I learned how to understand dog body language and healthy dog play. I also helped with in-home pet care while working at the dog daycare. I have a reactive 12 year old mutt (Victor) that I adore so much. He has been my family's most rewarding and challenging dog yet, and he has improved on handling his emotions after I started learning about positive reinforcement through my dog daycare job. I have pet sat for friends and family and look forward to meeting your dogs and cats too! I am available for April! With only starting pet sitting/dog walking, I am available any time! Feel free to message me and I can check my calendar! 🐶 Full-time pet sitter/dog walker 🐱 For my reactive dog, I play music and use baby gates to block windows he usually barks out of before I leave the house. This keeps him more comfortable and calm while I'm away. In pet owner's homes, I make sure to follow instructions and give pets, treats, and play time before I leave.

About: When it comes to taking care of your pets they become my first priority! I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a young age. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for 4 years. So if you have a senior pet or have one that needs daily medication I’m your gal! Along with all other services or skills from the veterinary field. I’d your pet needs long walks I’ll be there! I’m currently unemployed, so watching over your four legged furry friends is my number one priority! I am open any time whenever you need me! With the service I offer whatever your pet is familiar with or used to is how I’ll treat them best! Whether it would be let outside in your yard with a fence or leash walked! Either way time would be spent to take care of your pets however you’d like! Spending time with them by playing and loving them!

About: I’ve got experience coming out the wazoo. I adopted my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have always had 3 cats at home growing up. Now on my own I run my house the same way with all the love crammed in. I work full time but I have a job that allows for some flexibility when needed and a family at home. But I love the chance to make some extra money after work caring for animals. I’m very good at following directions and have a natural ability to understand animals and what they need and want. Very good at learning new environments.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life because I grew up on a farm and my mother is a teacher with classroom pets! I have two kitties and a hedgehog! I’ve taken care of everything from cats, dogs, rats, bunnies, reptiles and more! I have a full time job but I still have plenty of time on my hands! I would love to invest my time into caring for your pet(s) when your life gets a little too crazy! I have a large yard, unfortunately with no fence, but we’d be able to use it anytime. I have two cats of my own who are shy, so I’m not worried about them causing any trouble with your fur babies. I live in a part of town that is quiet and would be the perfect setting to take your dog on a walk!

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who loves pets of all species and sizes! I have 4 years of experience in the veterinary field with 2 years of veterinary technician schooling. I have had a dog since I was around 4 or 5 and ever since then I have loved animals beyond measure! I have pet sat for multiple people in my area. I can accurately feed, medicate, walk, bathe, bandage, recognize signs of emergency, perform CPR (in only the most extreme cases), etc for any pet needed I will soon be home a lot more often. While I do have to take care of my pets at home, I will be free most days through the week and I can do overnights on occasion. I am not comfortable bringing other pets into my home to meet my animals due to them being easily stressed. I will happily walk, spend the day with, snuggle your pets in your home or in public.

I truly have a special place in my heart for animals. I have dog sat for my uncle and brother multiple times. I would feed, water, let them out, etc. I also have cat sat for my cousin multiple times as well. That also included cleaning the litter box. I wake up and I feed my cats while i have my breakfast. After I get done brushing my teeth, I clean their litter box. I also always try to get cuddle time with them before going to work. I always check on my animals. If i feel or see something different, I call the vet right away. I take animals health seriously. They are so fragile.
