About: I’ve watched, played, walked, and cared for animals all my life. As someone who grew up with three dachshunds, two golden retrievers, and two cats, my love for animals began at a very young age. This love had continued throughout my life, and now I have three cats of my own! I recently moved to the area and am excited about the potential opportunity to meet your family member! I currently work from home, so it is easy to take breaks to walk or care for an animal. I also am home most weekends. Because I have three cats, I know the joys (and struggles at times) of balancing all animals’ needs. I ensure they are played with, fed, and cleaned at all times. My cats also get along with dogs great!
“Kelly was wonderful! My shy, nervous dog was so comfortable with her (3 minutes into the first meeting, Cocoa was completely at ease with Kelly). Kelly communicates really well, so you always know when she's stopped by and how the visit went. I returned home to a happy, and well-exercised, dog. I highly recommend Kelly.”
About: Hi my name is Teju! I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs since I was a child and also have had my dog for the past five years. I have a very flexible schedule and love to spend quality time with your dog. Every dog is different so I take the time to get to know them and interact with them based on their needs. I know how to deal with reactivity on walks, resource guarding and pulling. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I am able to work around you and your dog’s needs. I am available on weekdays and weekends. I am able to create a safe environment for your dog based on their needs, weather that means crating or avoiding other dogs in walks. Care and safety of your pet is of upmost importance to me.

I love my dogs with all my heart. I currently work with an attorney as a paralegal in Princeton Junction, NJ.

Astrid R.
“I needed to get a pet sitter for my parents' two Yorkies since they were going away for the weekend and I couldn't stop by their house since I was going away myself. Thankfully we found Astrid that was close by. She did a phenomenal job taking care of my parents' two Yorkies (Jacob and Luna) over the weekend. She stopped by, fed them, watched over them to keep them company and even took them out for a walk. I would definitely hire Astrid again if we are in a pinch from for a dog sitter! She really came in the clutch!”

Matt took care of our dog for 5 days while we went on a trip. It was our first time working with him and we will definitely contact him again. He is very responsive and professional, and most importantly knows his way around dogs. We found ours very happy on our return, which says it all. Definitely recommend
Can't say enough good things about Jamie. She paid attention to everything about my cats and took really good care of them. She was also very responsive and sent me detailed updates. You can tell she really cares about the pets and is a responsible individual.
