About: I’ve had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been the one in my family responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with them. I have also pet-sat for my neighbors’ dogs and recently helped take care of a friend’s Golden Retriever, where I walked, fed, and played with her regularly. In addition, I volunteered for two summers at my local pet shelter, where I cleaned cat areas and spent time playing and socializing with the cats. I currently have a black lab at my parents’ house while I attend college. Overall, I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am a college student on summer break with full availability, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am available Monday through Sunday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am not offering services where pets stay in my home.

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.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Joanna and the care she provided for Isla! She was not only incredibly flexible under my circumstances but also warm, compassionate, and attentive to Isla’s needs. Joanna sent updates, including adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. She even played fetch with her in the yard. Isla was so happy and I’m so thankful she got some enrichment. Joanna went above and beyond to make sure Isla felt loved and safe, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! Will absolutely book again. :)”

“Frida was wonderful with our very shy cat! She tried for 2 days to get him to come out and play and on the third day he did! He played and let her pet him which means he was one happy cat! Frida took good care of him and our house, we highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime.”

“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”


About: Hi, this is Connie! I literally grew up with dogs and have 13+ years of experience caring for them. Not only do I treat pets like family, but I firmly believe they are family. I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and cater to each one. Your pup will feel loved, safe, and happy with me. I’m a freelancer, currently working from home in Princeton, NJ. Pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine, no matter the time of day! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break or an afternoon play session, I’m always available and flexible. I’ll treat your furry friend’s schedule like my own priority. Safety always comes first for me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure, just like at home. When I'm at your place, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. When your pup stays with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe, and fun place. No messy surprises, no rushing, just genuine love, patience, and a little wagging-tail guarantee.
“Thanks to Heidi for her kind and great care to our spoiled cat. She has done everything to make sure our cat eats well and happy when we are on vacations. We really appreciate her very much.”

About: I owned dogs my entire life! I bred and raised a liter of 13, including mom and dad! My home has always had a dog! I can walk or sit on weekends. I can walk before 9:30 am and after 6:30 pm on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Saturday/Sunday very flexible! I make sure their water and food is fresh and their environment is safe and comfortable always! I show them lots and lots of love!

About: With years of experience caring for multiple cats and dogs at home, I truly understand their needs and quirks. I also watch dogs of all sizes and ages, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their own environment. I am dedicated to providing the best care for your pets and believe having them stay in a location they are familiar with is the ideal stay. I work from home when booked, allowing me to adjust my schedule to be fully available on booked days. I bring my laptop setup with me and I'm all set. Have an extremely flexible schedule. I take great joy in walking dogs and giving them the attention they deserve, ensuring they feel loved and cared for during their time with me. I watch dogs in your own home to ensure they feel comfortable with an environment they are used to and to avoid any additional stress.
“Patricia was excellent with my cats. She followed all my instructions perfectly and my boys seemed very happy when I returned. I would definitely try and have Patricia take care of my cats again in the future.”

“She did an amazing job with our dog Buddy! You will get the best photos of your pet just like we did. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry! Thank you so much!”

About: I have always had a natural ability to connect and build trust with every animal I've been lucky enough to have in my life. I'm just as excited to run, jump, and throw with your most energetic pets, as I am to keep a nice, slow pace on the road to a great relationship with your more timid and cautious companions. I'm work remotely and would love nothing more than having a four-legged friend to meet up with at the water cooler throughout the week! Outside of Tuesday afternoons, my current schedule is flexible enough to discuss any other day or time that works best for you and your pet! Whether it's maintaining a strict diet/mealtime while we hang out inside or going for a stroll for some fresh air outside, there is truly nothing I take more seriously than your animal's health and safety. Any household rules or precautions (Certain doors kept closed, loose fence gate-latch, etc.) will be specifically noted and immediately made a priority.
“Kaitlyn is amazing. She is responsive, kind, always attentive to our puppies, and incredibly reliable. We trust her wholeheartedly and are thankful every day for her love of dogs :)”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of our three Golden Retrievers! We really appreciate you giving them a bathroom break and making sure they had fresh water. They have a lot of energy, so it means a lot that you handled them so well and made sure they got some time outside. It’s great knowing they were in good hands!”

Courtney is absolutely wonderful to work with!! Two of our cats are on medication every 12 hours and she jumped in and learned their routine so quickly! She did a fabulous job administering insulin, an inhaler and a pill! Courtney kept us updated and sent cute photos each visit. Thank you Courtney for taking such great care of our kitties, we appreciate you!
