“Megan was great! Very professional and sweet, and she followed my (lengthy list of) instructions perfectly. She obviously cares about the animals she watches and sent detailed updates after each visit, which I appreciated. Would definitely recommend Megan, and we’re already rebooking her for our next trip!”


“Amia is a very professional cat sitter. She provided all affection , love and care to our Simba cat during the visits. I received all updates regularly. I will definitely go ahead with her upcoming visits.”


About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!

“We loved having Emily to take care of our kitty Mis. He loved her and she did everything and more she went above and beyond. We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


About: I have been pet sitting since 2009 for my friends and neighbor’s dogs. I have taken dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs who required extra care and medication. In 2021, I brought home Woody, a 18lb Cavapoo, whom I’ve had the greatest joy training and cuddling with my husband, Kyle. Woody is the love of our lives. Woody is social and has made many furry friends at the dog park. We love to take Woody with us everywhere we go including: hiking, shopping, swimming, and we would love to take your dog with us too (with your permission). If you have a dog that prefers to chill at home, we also love just staying home as well. I often work from home and Kyle is a full-time at home paw-dad so our schedule is flexible your dog will get all the attention he/she wants. We only board small to medium dogs (up to 40lbs) We’ll gladly send updates with photos and videos of your fur-baby. We live in a great walking neighborhood and less than 300m from the dog park. Our services: - send updates with photos and videos - daily dog walks (3-4 walks a day for doggy day care and boarding) - food prepping for fresh food/kibble (whatever the pet parent provides) - trips to dog park (doggy day care and boarding if weather permitting and pet parent approves) - safe home environment - fun and playtime with Woody - plenty of nap and cuddle times I work from home. I usually would take the dogs out for a potty break every 4 hours or more frequently at the request of the owner or the dog’s body language. I often take my dog to the dog-park or go hiking for 1hour or so before dinner time. I have a small 18lb cavapoo who loves to play. I also live quite close to a dog park and take dog out to socialize every day.

“Teagan is great! She took excellent care of our cat while we were away, managed her meds, stayed in regular communication, and was warm and professional throughout. Would strongly recommend her!”


About: I've taken care of pets for my friends and also volunteered at a nearby shelter so I know my way around taking care of animals. I'm currently a student commuting from home with no classes on Fridays and availability on the weekends so on those days I have a pretty flexible schedule to take care of your pet. I could also be free on some weekday mornings depending on the circumstance. I strive to create a fun and safe experience for your pet while I take care of them whether I am walking them or staying with them. I also know how much your pet means to you so I hope to build our trust and give you no reason to worry while I care for your best friend.

“I have had Lindsey do drop-in visits twice with my dog. She arrives on time and sends us pictures and updates of how it went. The visits helped my family have a great day out knowing that our dog and home were in good hands. We’ll definitely book her again.”


About: Hi everyone! I am a current graduate student at Princeton Theological Seminary and can’t wait to hangout with your furry friend! I love pets of all shapes and sizes and have background experience in both puppy training and large dog handling. With family members who work at a local rescue shelter, I’m familiar with animal body language and basic training skills. From honeymoons to last minute weekend trips, I am excited to spend time with your pet. While you are away, I am happy to water your plants, check mail, or anything else you may need. I have a flexible student schedule and am looking forward to meeting you! I’m currently a graduate student and have a flexible schedule. Additionally, I work part time remotely and can work from anywhere locally. I love going on walks with your pet and exploring the neighborhood. I am eager to work with you and your pet to best care for them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their homes.

About: Hello! I'm Selena, a rising junior at Skidmore college, home for the summer. At school, I'm a member of a puppy raising club that volunteers for the Guide Dog Foundation, where we house-train pups so they can become service dogs in the future. It's super fun and rewarding work, and has gained me a lot of experience with all kinds of puppies. Back home, I'm the owner of one dog as well as two cats, and I regularly dog sit for my friends and family members. My love of animals is well known and I'm always their go-to for pet sitting, as they know I'm always happy to do it. My current Bernedoodle has been with me since she was just a puppy, so I'm very aware of how much care and attention puppies need. I've also cared for dogs on the older side, and I'm open to dogs of all ages and sizes! I'm currently a college student home for the summer taking online classes with nothing to do, so I'm very available and would love to spend my free time caring for animals! I'm unable to care for pets in my own home as it's already a zoo in here, but in my client's homes I always make sure the pet is comfortable and the home remains as clean or even cleaner than I found it! I like cleaning.

About: I'm a big dog lover and have had dogs throughout most of my life. I work from home and live with my partner. I regularly take care of friends' dogs and have also looked after the dogs of families in the neighborhood when they're out of town. I am available on weekdays and weekends to care for your pet. I'm home most of the time & really look forward to meeting your fur baby! I am happy to provide you with updates and photos of your pup. I love to play with them and give them extra tummy rubs.

“Cats were safe and sound when I got back and there was food and water left over for them which is really great. Nicholas was respectful and prompt with all the updates regarding when he was at my place for the drop in visits. The descriptions were fun to read, while I was out of town! Would recommend.”


“Katie took great care of my two kitties while I was on a business trip. She cleaned the boxes, fed them and took the time to give them some exercise and play with them. I received very nice pictures reassuring me everything is OK - and it was! I will book her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and worked in dog training for over a decade, and I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds! I’ve also helped raise puppies to become guide dogs for the blind, and am experienced with senior dog care as well. I work full time but am available on evenings and weekends for dog sitting, house sitting, and dog walking! I can also be available on certain vacations and holiday breaks for dog sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I have 12 years of dog sitting and dog training experience and am more than happy to stay at your home with your dog(s) in order to make sure all of their needs are met. I have cared for senior dogs primarily over the last five years, so I am very comfortable and experienced with older dogs and their specific needs. I also have experience administering medication to dogs both orally and topically.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I often was responsible for watching, feeding, walking, and bathing my dogs. I also would care for other people’s dogs and stop in for a short while or to watch a home and care for a dog or two. I love animals in all shapes and sizes and would love to care for your furry friend(s)! I’m a substitute teacher local to my home. I work at a Princeton elementary school full time but will be available in the summer for the most part. I live in apartment living with my boyfriend who works from home. I walk my beagle Strawberry several times a day. Strawberry is on a very tight schedule when it comes to food and walks which allows me to use time management. In your home I’d like to behave and treat your dogs just as you do. I think it’s very important to know the schedule which needs to be kept.

About: I just love animals! I have gained lots of experience by caring for family, neighbors and friends pets as well as caring for my own everyday! I’ve also gained experience by working in a doggy hotel, as well as volunteering at the Save Animal shelter! I would love to care for your furry friend too! Part time works best for me but I am open and flexible! Whenever you need me I’ll be there to care for your sweet furry friend! I will accompany them for however many hours you feel necessary. This will including long walks, feeding, treats, playing and lots of cuddles and pets for your fur baby!

About: I grew up with animals (dogs and cats), and currently am the primary caretaker of a husky. I’m extremely active but spend most of my time studying behind a desk, so walking dogs is a great way for me to stretch my legs while earning some extra cash! Daily mid day walks are ideal for me! I find this timing helps dog parents with busy workdays. This time of day is when I am usually outside in the fresh air. I find that spending the day outside, rain or shine, is the best way to exercise and engage the puppies and dogs I take care of!

I have no doubt she'll do a great job for whoever needs her help!”
