“I can’t say enough great things about Jaclyn. We decided to hire her for our crazy Great Pyrenees and all of our indoor cats. She was very punctual and we returned home to very happy babies. I had initially asked her to provide photos of them and she sent me photos of individual pet with every visit!! On top of that, she also spent quality time with them for their mental stimulation. We will hire her again and recommend her to all the anxious mothers who hate to be away from their furbabies. Thanks to her, we were able to spend some time away from home with ease of mind 🥰”
About: I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets for over seven years, including Jonah (Golden Retriever), Jessie (Golden Pyrenees), and Mittens (tuxedo cat). My background includes hands-on experience caring for family animals and taking in rescues reflecting a lifelong dedication to animal care. My current schedule allows for consistent availability throughout the entire week, with mornings/afternoons before 4pm preferred. My availability after 4pm varies daily, so feel free to message to prior to booking! My home is a pet-friendly (and pet filled) environment with a large fenced yard for outdoor play, though most of our time with Mittens is spent indoors surrounded by toys and cozy spots to relax. I have three resident pets — Jonah, a Golden Retriever, Jessie, a Golden Pyrenees, and Mittens, a tuxedo cat — all of whom love playtime and are great company.
“Savannah took great care of our kitty! She was friendly, responsive, and kept us up to date with how are cat was doing through notes and pictures. She also kept our cat’s food and litter clean and tidy! We loved having her as a Rover sitter.”
“Mary is great!! She is the epitome of an animal lover and an overall amazing human being! Being new to the area we don’t have many options when it comes to leaving our dog Maxx with someone and since he’s not the friendliest with other dogs, it makes it rather difficult to board him. After reading several of Mary’s reviews, we knew she was the one for Maxx but didn’t know if she would be available with such late notice, especially since she also boards and was fully booked for the days we would be away. She not only made herself available but she also came by the day before just to meet him so that he was comfortable with her. He took to her instantly! The update pics that she would send also proved that Maxx was happy and being well taken care of. We are absolutely going to look to use Mary for all our future needs! Thanks for everything Mary!!”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals like guinea pigs. Over the years, I’ve helped care for multiple dogs of different sizes and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building trust with animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid-back, I adapt to what works best for them. I am unfortunately a busy lady, with school and work, but Fridays I will always be available for your pet needs. I am hoping to have more availability as time goes on. i have a fenced yard. i have two dogs who are crate trained and very friendly, so no need to worry about altercations. i am able to keep my fur babies crated if that were to make whomever i am caring for more comfortable, but i also have a backyard big enough for all pets to play if that is wanted as well.
About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.
About: Ive never met a dog or cat that doesn't instantly like me and same for me too! Kindness & Respect go along way with pets. I treat them like I would want to be treated if I was an animal. Ive always been a hard worker and do my best to make others happy, human or animal. Im dependable and easy to work with. I believe communication is key in life. Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.

“Courtney was the best with my girls! She took such great care of them and gave them lots of love while I was away. It definitely made my older dog that has major anxiety feel so much better she was here to care for them. If you need someone I recommend Courtney 1000%! Thanks Courtney!”

“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!”

Nikki was AMAZING! I had an emergency that I never expected. I contacted Nikki and she was available to do drop in visits on my dog. She has great communication, very genuine and warm. I was a bit nervous booking without meeting the person but I was far away and had no other choice. Nikki made me feel so comfortable as she checked in and was truly a god send for me! I will definitely book with Nikki again. From the bottom of my heart…. THANK YOU NIKKI!
Carly took great care of our new puppy Remy. He is definitely high energy and deep in him shark phase. But that did not phase her. Our old lady Gemma is a sweetheart and Carly also gave her some love and attention. Will most definitely be contacting Carly again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which meant so much to me. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own. Highly recommend!
Kimberly was great with our cats! She was always on time, sent us photos, and kept us updated with any changes. She was very attentive with giving medication to our one cat and adjusted her approach until she accepted the medicine. Would 1000% recommend Kimberly!!!
Damon was great! We had a very last minute need for someone to let our Golden out to potty d/t running late from work, he responded promptly and was at our place within 10 minutes- letting our pup out and playing catch with him. Very Dependable! Thank you again Damon! Will definitely talk soon :)
Christina did great with my dogs! Started the drop in on time and stayed the full time that was booked. She reported she had no issues with the pups and they were happy and calm when I returned home. I have her booked for overnight stays that I know my pups will be well taken care of.
