Top rated Somerset house sitters
“We had such a great experience with Toni! She took amazing care of our 3-month-old puppy, Frank, who is full of energy and can definitely be a bit chaotic. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, was on time, and super sweet with him. We got regular updates throughout the night, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can really tell she loves animals. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book her again!”
“Mia was great with our husky and cocker spaniel! They were sad to see her leave, but we will 100% have her back next time we go on vacation. She sent a lot of photos (one even became my Lock Screen - it was so good). I appreciated how communicative she is”
“Jace did a great job of talking care of our boy Bruno! He was always quick and clear with communication, and followed his schedule perfectly and made him feel comfortable from the first day they met. We’ll definitely be using Jace again when we need a sitter!”
“Claudia was very good. She was great with Charlie and responded always in a timely manner. She was cleaned up after her stay and was a nice guest to have.”
“Laura was wonderful! She's extremely experienced, capable, competent, and knowledgable. My little guy (Julius, a cat) usually has bad separation anxiety, but he did wonderfully with Laura when she stayed in my apartment with him for two weeks. I highly recommend Laura as a sitter for any animal!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and a variety of other animals since I was a teenager. I love every animal and I'm comfortable administering medications and working with senior animals I'm off for the summer from college, so I'm free all summer to take care of animals! I can walk or care for animals any time of day I am able to spend any amount of time with animals that they need, providing playtime and attention, and I will walk them at any time!
“Tiffany is great! She is kind and responsible. My nervous pup gets so excited when she comes over! We highly highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”
“Maria is great! Artie and Lis spent a beautiful time with her. Maria is truly sweet and reliable. Definitely to call her again.”
“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”
“The dogs love Aly! They had a great time with her! A+++”
About: Guinea pig mom! Love tiny fur babies, but I have sat for young and adult dogs for the past 2.5 years. I bring nearly 20 years of experience in fast-paced, people-centric industries — which means I’m calm under pressure, communicative, and deeply attuned to individual needs (human or furry). I treat every pet like they’re my own, prioritizing safety, comfort, and play. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering meds, and managing multi-pet households. I’m also great with shy or anxious pets — I take the time to build trust and follow your routines to the letter. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured walks, or enrichment activities, your pet gets personalized care and my full attention. Pet care is just part of our life. My partner and I live together, and he’s a huge dog lover — he had a German Shepherd for almost 11 years, so caring for animals is second nature to both of us. We keep a calm, pet-friendly home and love having furry company around. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, meds if needed — it’s all built into our day. Whether it’s your pup’s first visit or their tenth, they’ll get plenty of attention and affection from both of us. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in theirs, I keep things calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your routines closely — feeding, walks, meds, playtime — because I know how much pets thrive on familiarity. At my place, I make sure they have a comfy space to relax, access to fresh water, and all the love and attention they’re used to getting from you. I keep communication open with updates, photos, and little check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend stay, your pet’s well-being is always the priority.
About: Hello! My name is Sofia. I am located in highland park and I am pursuing my graduate degree. I have been dog sitting and cat sitting for about 15 years. Over the last few years I have transitioned into fostering cats. I fostered 30 cats and I am now looking to move back into walking, sitting and boarding animals as needed. I am dependable and will care for your pet as if they were my own. See you soon! I am currently in graduate school with half day requirements. I am available most weekends and many afternoons and my home is available for boarding as needed. My home is safe with a lovely park within a 5 minute walk. Your pet will be the only animal in the household at any given time.

About: I’ve taken care of loads of different animals of all shapes and sizes from when I was about 6 years old. I am experienced in dog care, certified in canine first aid and was formerly a dog daycare manager for almost 3 years. I have experience working with all different breeds of dogs, from big to small. I have a husky and a staffy mix of my own so I understand the needs of high energy breeds. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, lizards, turtles and even birds! I’m currently working part time but my hours are fairly flexible and I will be able to fit your needs into my schedule. I have lots of availability in the mornings and evenings, as well as overnight and the weekends. I am able to house sit and dog walk, I cannot care for any animals in my home for now. I have a dog friendly dog that I can bring on walks or play dates to keep your pup entertained as well as I know lots of good hiking/walking spots all over the Montgomery/princeton/hillsborough area
About: I grew up with three dogs and a cat since I was six years old. Throughout the years I have learned how to take care and train them. I am working part time bi-weekly which gives me a lot of time to hangout and take care of your wonderful pets that mean so much to you. I am not afraid to punish or discipline a dog for bad behavior. I’m very good with teaching dogs new tricks and new behavior's. I also love playing with dogs, so your dog will have the best play mate.
“Madeline took great care of our cat. She kept us updated, played with her, and gave her lots of attention. The litter boxes and house were clean; she brought in our mail, packages, and trash can. We will definitely be calling her again!”

I also spent a year as a kennel technician in Old Bridge, NJ taking care of puppies. I am very flexible, I usually work in New Brunswick Monday-Friday from 9-4:30pm, but I can do my work from home if needed which helps a lot. I will discuss individual preferences with clients to meet their desires. I live very close to a big park and am able to take walks whenever.

Eleanor L.
“Eleanor is one of the kindest, most caring people I know. Especially towards animals, who she always places before herself. Not only has she been amazing when watching after my own personal pets. I have also watched after dogs/cats/reptiles/etc. side by side with Eleanor for nearly a decade now, so I can confidently say she is one of the BEST people you could have to watch after your pets! Whenever someone asks me for another sitter to recommend, Eleanor is always who I think of first! :)”

Frances Caroline B.
“Frances cares for and loves her pet guinea pigs as if they were her own children. She worries for them, tends to their wheeks immediately, and spoils them with toys and decorations for their cage as much as she can. She holds them close to her heart (literally!) as if each time is her last moment with them. Guinea pigs are typically scared of humans, as they appear as big, moving predators to their eyes. However, when let out of their cage to roam around, they approach Frances with no fear. They will even climb on her if she is sitting down. (Albeit to ask for food but still!) They know her energy is safe to be around which is why they don’t hesitate to gravitate towards her. Overall, I can’t think of a more perfect candidate to be a sitter to anyone’s lovely pets.”
Sofia C.
“Sofia Chapman has loved animals her whole life. She has pet sat a great dane, fostered kittens and resocialized at risk cats multiple times. She lovingly cared for her sick cat with renal failure for the last year of his life. She is the most responsible person I know. She would make a great caregiver.”
Kellie R.
“Kellie is the definition of a loving pet caregiver. For the 22 years I’ve known her, she has always shown so much love and compassion for her own pets and friends’ pets as well. Not only does she prioritize their safety and needs, her presence is able to calm even the rowdiest of husky puppies (I’ve seen it!) and when she travels, animals are always drawn to her like a magnet. When I adopted my first cat, Kellie responded to every one of my concerned questions no matter the hour, giving me detailed instructions and reassurance. She comes from a family that adopts and cares for stray cats, so it makes sense that decades of experience through her entire life has given her the special ability to understand animals at an incredible level of care and attention. Kellie is an amazing person, and the most responsible and loving pet parent that I know. I would trust her with every one of my fur babies’ lives!”
