Maureen was great! We had bad service where we were but she continued to update us throughout the day about pur baby boy. She sent pictures and videos and he was having a great time with Blue and Bruno! We were so happy he felt right at home and she help out Blue feel comfortable. We will definitely book with her again whether it’s for doggy daycare with his two new friends or boarding. Thank you again Maureen for treating our Blue like he was your own!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have spent time with puppies right out of the womb and old dogs in their last years (and every age in between). I am excited to give your dog the love and care that they deserve. :) I currently work part-time. At most, I will be leaving your dog 4-5 hours at a time, but often, I can be with them all day. Reach out, and we can see what kind of care your dog needs! I will always want to work with your plan for keeping your pet safe, since you know them best. Your dog will be well-loved and cared for with me.

Our senior dog had a very nice stay with Angela. Angela sent me several photos throughout our dog's stay and I could see that he was happy. There is a nice enclosed grass backyard that allowed our dog to romp and I think he enjoyed that.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Emiko! From the moment we connected, she was incredibly pleasant and professional, which immediately put me at ease. Her property is absolutely beautiful, and the neighborhood is just as great—perfect environment for a dog to feel safe and comfortable. What really stood out was her communication. She kept me consistently updated, which made a huge difference and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and that’s hard to find. She really treated our Whippet like family. I’ll definitely be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much, Emiko!!

Absolutely great experience! My pet was very well taken care of and was happy at Samhitha's home for over a week. She was very professional and on top of communication. It was a pleasure to see daily updates on how he was enjoying the boarding time. I was absolutely worry free and I can't thank you enough! I highly recommend Samhitha if you are looking for an experienced and caring sitter for your pet.

We had such a great experience leaving Bruno in Raj’s care for the night! From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!

I can’t say enough good things about Ivelisse! She took such amazing care of Omen while I was away. She was kind, patient, and genuinely loved animals. She was so attentive to his needs, gave him lots of love and playtime, and even went out of her way to feed him when he ran out of food, something I truly appreciated. I felt completely at peace knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and caring with pets!

About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both giant, mid-sized and small-sized dogs, including Great Danes, Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, and Terrier mixes. I’ve worked on leash training, basic obedience commands, and managing dogs in both calm and busy environments. I regularly walk dogs in parks as well as crowded areas like downtown Princeton, ensuring they are well-behaved, safe, and comfortable in all settings. I am available for boarding from Thursday after 6 PM through Monday until 6 PM. During this time, I dedicate my full attention to pet care, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to maintain a consistent routine tailored to your pet’s needs, whether it’s walks, feeding, or simply spending quality time together. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly home environment where your dog will feel comfortable and cared for. While I have a large unfenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised to ensure your pet’s safety. I can also accommodate crate training if needed and will follow your pet’s usual routine closely. My focus is always on creating a secure and stress-free environment for your pup.

Sam is truly was an angel on earth when we left our mini golden doodle Veer with her for 4 days. She was so loving and took care of Veer like her own. She asked questions, which eased our tensions, and sent us daily pictures of Veer doing a new kind of activity. Her daughter is so adorable and lovely and played with veer so well as well. We couldn’t have found a better person to take care of Veer and we will DEFINITELY be rebooking sam in the future. If I could give her 100 stars, even that would not be enough! <3

I needed last minute boarding for my 3 month old puppy due to an unexpected emergency, and decided to reach out to Pam. I am so happy that we decided to go with Pam, as she provided exceptional care for our puppy. She messaged back nearly immediately, let us know when she is available for a call, and we discussed expectations and how she carries care for dogs throughout the boarding process. I felt immediately at ease, as Pam is very kind and easily diffused any anxiety that came with boarding our puppy. Pam gave us updates throughout the day and always responded quickly, reassuring me that I could give her a call when needed. I would 100% recommend Pam’s services to any dog owner who needs boarding in the area. Pam is an expert in this area, having cared for all kinds of dogs. Her knowledge is broad and she carries herself very well. Thank you so much! ❤️

Sha deserves a 10 🌟 review for taking such good care of both my cats each of whom are highly anxious in their own ways. She stayed in touch, responded promptly and sent me photos to assure me they were both adjusting in their own quiet space she assigns to her furry guests. Extremely happy and grateful to Sha for being such a great host to my kitties for over a weeks stay.Thank You Sha. We will definitely be back

I highly recommend Darin and McKenna as pet sitter! Our two dogs just spent a week at their place, and it truly felt like they were on their own luxury vacation. From the start, Darin and McKenna were incredibly attentive to every detail and specific need our pups had. They didn’t just "watch" our dogs; they genuinely befriended them and invested a lot of personalized time and affection into making them feel at home. What impressed us most was their dedication during a particularly tough week of heavy snow. Despite the weather challenges, they remained completely unfazed and stayed "up to the task," ensuring our dogs were safe, pampered, and happy throughout the storms. If you are looking for sitters who are responsible, caring, and go the extra mile, Darin and McKenna are the best choice. Our dogs can’t wait to go back!
