Cristina took fantastic care of our two cats! She stayed for a lot of time which made me feel good because they were getting socialized and made it clear that she wasn’t just showing up and rushing out the door. She was very responsive to any communications and very accommodating!

Yin was awesome! She came on time, fed my puppy, took him outside, cleaned up his messes, and washed his food bowl. She showed care and attention. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined. She communicated effectively and kept me informed. I will definitely book with her again.

About: Hello!! My name is Chieh-Yin, but you can call me me Alvita:)) I’ve been a big animal lover since I was little. I adopted my first dog, Melon, from a shelter when I was in first grade, so I grew up with her and my senior cat, Kiki. I learned how to care for both and older cats from a young age, and it’s been such a special journey. Later on, I found my second cat, Brown Sugar, as a tiny three-month-old kitten, and I raised her from that sweet age. As Melon got older, I took her to the vet every week, gave her meds, and made sure she was comfy in her senior years. I also later took in another kitten, and just recently, we welcomed a new puppy, Ayla, when she was just two months old. So now, I’m loving every moment of raising a puppy, too! And a few years ago, I was also a foster for a guide dog, where I took classes to learn how to train and care for them. Every step of the way—whether it’s a puppy, kitten, senior dog, or cat—I just love giving them the care, comfort, and attention they need. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions:)) I’m currently staying at home. My time is pretty flexible. I can do daily visit or walking whenever your baby needs someone to take care of. I live in a house with a big fenced yard at the back. For day care, your baby will have plenty of space to play and run! For daily visits, I like to make sure all the babies have a nice and clean environment to rest first, then I would love to spend some time with them!!! Of course, will always keep you updated about your fur baby!!

Danielle was great with my cats. It was first time hiring her to drop in to feed my cats. I noticed my cats trusted and were attracted to her when she first met. That is a good sign! I would hired her again.

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)

About: I have been fostering for over 15 years and petsitting for about 5 of those years. I took a break for some time when I moved to Texas, and then the pandemic added to that. Most recently, I was taking care of my grandmothers dog.. essentially a hospice situation, and spent most of my time loving up on him. Since his passing, I would love to get back into it so can provide care and love. I’m used to all breeds, but have the most experience with bully breeds chihuahuas, and most medium size breeds like shitzhus, Maltese’s, and schnauzers. Very comfortable providing oral or topical ointments.. nothing really grosses me out. I enjoy providing baths and making sure your furry friend is feeling their best. Especially for my dirty white dogs with the crusty eyes (lol)! Overall, I treat every pet that walks into my life like it were my own. I take pride in knowing that I’m giving someone’s pet lots of love and care while their owner is away. I want them to feel like they’re hanging with a friend and try to alleviate any stress. Leaving your baby for any period of time is tough, so knowing you have someone you can trust to be an extension of you is all I want. I lost my job recently, so I’ll have a lot more time for walks, feedings, and of course cuddle time with the puppies. Other than caring for my own kitty, my time would really be catered to your needs as an owner should you choose me to help take care of your little one. Our home has a partially fenced in yard that we can allow your pet to enjoy. There’s a full basement, living room, and bedroom that the pups can enjoy relaxing in and hanging out. There’s space for a crate as well for those who are or in the process of training.

Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up caring for my Shih Tzu and my pit/beagle mix, who are now happily playing over the rainbow bridge. They taught me the importance of patience, attention, and unconditional love, and I hope to share that same nurturing care with the fur babies in my community. I work a typical 9–5 job, with remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule with advanced notice to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or keeping them company, I will treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive support and regular updates for your peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup, and I look forward to caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work 9 am-5 pm. In office Tuesdays - Thursdays in Princeton/North Brunswick, WFH Mondays and Friday North Brunswick/South Amboy. Flexible with advanced notice! I travel between South Amboy, North Brunswick and Princeton areas. Again, my schedule can be super flexible depending on date and time and we can arrange something! care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. In my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, clean space. I also take time to understand each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they prefer active play, relaxed companionship, or extra patience if they’re shy. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs!

About: I’ve been a professional pet caregiver for the last 20 years, so it’s safe to say I’ve seen it all! Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or quality time with a picky cat, I’m all about positive reinforcement and understanding what makes each pet tick. I also have extensive experience with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and managing feral colonies, so I’m very comfortable with shy, nervous, or 'difficult' personalities. From adventurous pups to senior cats who just want a quiet head scratch, I’m here to make sure every animal feels safe and loved while you’re away. I take my job seriously, but my main goal is to be the best part of your pet's day! As a teacher, my schedule is mostly part-time, but I’m very flexible and always try my best to accommodate your needs! Whether you need a regular mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits perfectly for your pet. Just send me a message and we can make it work! When your dog stays with us, they’re truly part of the family! We share our home with two very friendly cats who are used to having canine visitors, and my entire household is made up of skilled animal lovers. Because we’re a family of 'pet people,' your pup will get constant attention, rounds of play, and plenty of couch cuddles. If your dogs are cat-friendly and love being around people, they’re welcome to stay with us for as long as they need—we’ll treat them just like one of our own!

I cannot say enough good things about Cinthia. Even from offering to come over and meet my girl ahead of the visit, I knew she genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable. She was extremely communicative and took every direction (and they are specific :) I had so many adorable photos and sweet videos and my dog was still happy when I got home. I will definitely book Cinthia again and strongly suggest others do the same.

Berthie was phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Berthie again. Continuously updated me with pictures and blurbs about how my dog was doing. My dog is adjusting to a new apartment and had been having accidents and Berthie not only updated me on her status, but ensured he would clean up if she had any accidents. I 100% would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter/Walker.
