Top rated Princeton house sitters
“Fantastic! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We appreciated the multiple daily walks, pup cups (so said Kenai and Koda), daily updates and pictures of our fur family. Kenia and Koda always playing, which helped us feel connected while we were away. John N. was flexible and accommodating to our needs, even when we had to make last-minute changes to our schedule. He even took out the trash and did some light housekeeping! highly recommend John to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving pet sitter. You won't regret choosing him!”
“Emily did an amazing job taking care of my dog Moose while I was away. She stayed at my home for several days and followed every request to the tee, including walking him 6 times a day. She went above and beyond by playing with him regularly and even bringing along her sweet dog Fletcher who quickly became Moose’s new best friend. She was careful to monitor Moose’s breathing during walks and playtime to make sure he didn’t overexert himself, since he was still recovering from the final heartworm injections he received a month ago and required a gradual increase in exercise, per the vet’s instructions. The daily updates and photos were such a relief and showed how happy and well cared for Moose was. Emily was incredibly professional, friendly, and patient throughout it all. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend her!”
“Morgan is amazing! She always answered promptly and send frequent updates. Our house was left completely spotless, like she wasn’t even here. Our dog Rufus can be reactive, and Morgan was very patient and open to meeting Rufus on his terms. We came home to a happy, healthy, and clearly well taken care of puppy dog. I can’t recommend her enough, we will definitely be reaching out to Morgan again.”
“Michelle was awesome!! She was prompt in her response for the job, answered all questions and came out to meet me ahead of the sitting. I received daily messages and photos of her stay with my pet and updates on his diet. My cat is picky and very talkative but Michelle handled it all in stride! She took excellent care of my home and my precious fur baby. Would definitely welcome her back and recommend her services highly!”
“Ashley was great with our two elderly fur-babies! We could see that they both loved her through the pics and videos that she kept us supplied with throughout our time away from them. Looking forward to having her care for them again in the future!”
“Emily was a great pet sitter for our two large puppy dogs, a 1.5 yo husky mix and a 8 mo GSD. She clearly has a lot of experience and love for animals. Emily was very attentive to my instructions and our dogs warmed right up to her! She was prompt to respond to my texts and sent pictures of the dogs playing. We are all looking forward to having Emily pet sit again soon.”
About: I've worked at pet stores and grooming facilities and taken care of my own cats and dogs for years. I have a good knowledge base for pet care and always keep myself prepared for all eventualities. I will give your pets all the same love and kindness that I give to my own. I'm currently taking a wellness sabbatical so I can be there for your pet any time I'm needed. I can also provide 24/7 care for boarding or sitting. I am gentle and disciplined with my pets, I do not raise my voice at them and always provide positive reinforcement rather than punishment for any misbehavior. And I give endless love and affection to all critters. I will be happy to treat your pets likewise, and according to your wants and their particular needs or personalities.
About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest, I will be there too. I'm currently working a few hours in the early morning so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special pet! I'm available for boarding on weekends starting Thursday night and ending Sunday night. I do not have other animals or children in my home, only an occasional g-child, so I can accommodate a pet with high needs. I also have room to crate a dog if needed.
“Amber is excellent with our 10 year old German Shepherd Koa who has prescription meds and supplements in her daily regiment. We have been very happy with her services on two separate occasions now. The house is always left in good order and Koa seemed very content when we arrived home after our 7 day trip. We hope to hire her again for our next trip!”
About: I am very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for both Dogs and Cats. My special skill with the fur babies would definitely be keeping them company and playing with them! I currently work full time but I do not mind working evenings/late nights! I am single, no kids! No pretty much I have an open schedule. A few days a week I can come after work and I am available some weekends as well! I would keep the best company for your fur baby in your own home! I would accommodate the space especially to your fur babies needs/wants! I love to play with them and keep them moving if they are able!
About: With years of experience caring for pets, from running a dog-walking business to helping kittens be born, I provide expert, compassionate care tailored to each animal's unique needs and personality.😽 Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I’m already caring for my own dog and cat daily. Balancing my part-time job, I ensure all pets get dedicated, quality attention. I provide personalized pet care, whether in your home or mine. With my own pets, I’m experienced in creating a nurturing environment, ensuring animals feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for daily.
“Molly did a fantastic job with our pooches while we were out of the country. She sent plenty of photos and updates, worked hard to get the dogs to socialize with her (Goose finally warmed up after a few days, but Molly didn’t take it personally😉), and sent video updates. She stayed in our home and kept everything neat and in order. We will definitely be calling Molly for future needs. Our dogs were cared for and had fun too.”
“Francesca is awesome! 5 out of 5 would recommend! Having never used this site or a dog sitter I was a little hesitant to let a stranger stay in my home and take care of my dog Stormy, but after meeting Francesca all my concerns were put to rest. She went above and beyond while taking care of Stormy. Daily updates and pictures made it so much easier to relax knowing my girl was getting lots of love and attention. She even got Stormy to eat all of her food which was HUGE! Every time have left town and had friends check on her she hardly eats anything. Francesca will be my number one choice anytime I plan on leaving town again!”
“Audrey deserves all 5 stars!! Our dogs loved her and she did so well at keeping us updated with pictures and messages. She even did us a huge favor by watering our plants while we were out of town. We will be rebooking with her again in the future!”
