About: Hi, my name is Lisa! I am a registered nurse with a flexible schedule. I live with my husband and our roomate, who are dog LOVERS. So do not worry, there will always be someone home to meet the needs of your fur baby. I own a 2.5 year old Australian Shepard and is super playful and gets along with every dog he encounters. You can rely on us to provide the most nurturing environment for your pup, making them feel safe and at home. As a dog owner, we understand sending your dog away can be stressful to both you and your pup. We will communicate with you daily and provide updates via phone or text. I can guarantee your fur baby will be in good hands. **Meet & greet is a must prior to boarding** **Must be potty trained** I am currently a full time registered nurse working 3x/week. My 3 days vary each week, but will I will do ny best update my availability. On my days off, I start as early as 8 AM with a potty break, walks, eat, and repeat :) My spacious one story home with a fenced backyard will be available for your fur baby. Your baby will never be left unattended and will be monitored at all times. I will try to stick with your baby’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable in our home. If there’s any specific things or diet you would like for us to do, please communicate it with me.
“Amy is wonderful! This is our 2nd trip with our kitty under her care and we’re about to do a third. She keeps trying with our very shy cat, which we sure appreciate! She sends pics and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. I highly recommend her!”
“Toria is awesome and we will use her again. She didn’t just spend time with our dog, she took care of him like we would. He was fighting some allergy issues and she kept us in the loop and helped him when he was sick (and pampered him). Highly recommend! Completely trust her with our dog.”
About: Have a small dog that needs near constant attention? Does your sweet baby have separation anxiety? My home a safe place to leave your baby to have constant attention while you are gone! I work from home full time and have my own small pack that my work from home routine revolves around including morning feeding, plenty of potty and backyard play every 2 hours and love and hugs anytime in between! I have a fenced in yard and a very well behaved pack of small dogs ranging from 5-15 lbs. I have plenty of dog beds and blankets for comfy time and pets are allowed on beds and couches to sit or sleep with me during downtime.
“I can't stress enough what a wonderful, loving pet carer Stephanie is!! She sat for a friend of mine and he raved about her. She was willing to do a drop-in with my pup before she started walking my dog, which was really important to me. My dog absolutely LOVES Stephanie. I can absolutely tell she's being cared for in the best way. Stephanie makes a point of reading and following any instructions I leave - like making my pup wear boots in the summer when it's hot. My dog gets walked, played with, and loved with Stephanie. You should feel totally comfortable leaving your fur-baby in her care.”
About: I had a dog growing up and once I moved out on my own got my own dogs and have taken care of them. I have owned pugs, labs, terriers, german shepherds, and cattle dogs. I love all kinds of dogs. We never had a cat growing up, but I have had the opportunity to pet sit for some of my friends’ cats recently. I am a full time teacher, so I am mostly available on the weekends for pet sitting. I can be available some evenings. I am available more often when we are on a school break. I love all animals and promise to treat all pets that I encounter with the care that I show to my own pets every day.
About: I love dogs that are not mine as if they were my own! I have many years of caring for dogs and other animals. I am good at taking care of multiple pets and different types of pets. I have taken care of dogs who need meds, older dogs, puppies, etc. I am engaging and loving with your pet. I am more than happy to meet your expectations and needs for you furry friend and will work with you on what you should need with flexibility and understanding. I can’t wait to sit/board or walk your treasured baby. Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond! I currently work part-time and go to school. However, as long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible but I can also work with anything last minute as well! When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. Which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! I make sure I am aware of each pets needs: what they like and don’t like, how they feel in certain environments and what is best for them from what the owner shares. Every pet is different and I do my best to work with them no matter what.
“Lydia did such an AMAZING job at caring for our 2 cats! She provided excellent communication and was so attentive to our fur babies. Our cats tend not to like strangers but they warmed up to her quickly. She really helped us feel safer leaving our cats in her care while we were away, and she was so great through every step of the process. We will definitely look to hiring her again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Christina was quick to respond and extremely reliable. Our travel plans extended and she was more than willing to take on some extra visits with our sweet baby girl. She was timely and ensured smooth communication occurred throughout our trip. She informed me of any issues, took plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation that much more. She took great care of our girl and I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Halee is absolutely AMAZING!! She took such great care of my cat “21” and even though cats can hold their own mostly, she went above and beyond to spend time with her while I was away for work. Also had the BEST communication, straight away. I most definitely will be having Halee back again soon, nobody else??”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats, even ferrets and fish as well! I am limiting my services to 3 drop-in visits a day at the moment to ensure I can provide the best quality of care possible to each animal I am caring for. I am currently working full-time so I have limited my availability to only evenings. Additionally I will only be offering drop-in visits to begin with. Anything needed within those parameters will be no problem for me!! While I do work full-time, the benefit is that I make my own schedule. 🥳 First, I will ensure my own hygiene is well maintained🫣😅 But generally speaking- I was raised to leave things better than how you found them, and to be kind, generous, and respectful. I will apply all of those principles to your pet, your property, and in our communication. Additionally, I will always arrive with a small pet carrier in my car in the case of an emergency while I am visiting, and in an emergency situation I will do my best to accommodate additional services if needed/requested.
About: I am an experienced pet care provider that has worked with various rescue groups for over 10 years. I have fostered 70+ pets (dogs and cats). I have a 14 yr old Shih -Tzu named Pete, he spoiled with treats, toys, and affection. He gets along great with dogs of all sizes and cats too! I also have a a black cat that is curious, timid and playful. She is a talker and lets you know when she needs attention, food or belly rubs. Your fur baby will be spoiled and loved just as my 2 are. We have a fenced yard and plenty of room in the house to care for your fur babies while you are away. I can give medications, baths, brushing any special request just let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I currently work 3 days a week from home and come home for lunch on the days I do go into the office. I have plenty of time to love and play with your fur baby. I have a fenced back yard and walking paths throughout my neighborhood. I promise your fur baby will have plenty of time and room to get their energy out. I will do my best to keep your dog in their normal schedule.

Princeton dog parents share their Rover experiences
My family and I went on a 7 day cruise and my dog is a big girl that knows how to get off the leash easy with strangers especially so I was worried that walking her would be risky and her getting hit by a car or something crazy while we were gone. They managed to care for ivy by spending time with her day and night to comfort her she's trained on pee pads so it's not a huge mess to clean and they even sent me reports about my car sonic as well. I've never been away this long from my emotional support dog and of course nervous about allowing strangers in my home but the first meeting we had I was sold such loving people and amazing authentic genuine energy exchange I knew after that ivy would be in safe hands. I plan to use them again when my family goes to broken bow next month for a few days knowing ivy is safe is whats truly important to me soon as I get settled over the next 2 days I plan to tip their service as well ❤️🩹❣️😌💪☺️
Toria did a drop-in for my girls while we were out for the night. She came on time and even stayed a bit longer. She followed directions for feedings great and even checked in with me to double check on something to make sure she was doing it correctly. They seemed to love her. I liked getting the report and photos of their time together. Thank you Toria!
