“Mary is awesome!! She is an all-around animal Whisperer. She came to my house to check up on my cat while I was away. She did a house visit ahead of time, and my very elusive cat came up to her right away and within minutes she was petting him. I didn't know how he would do being outdoors a couple of days indoors a couple of days, but she was able to get him to come out from underneath the bed finally after many many minutes of coaxing. She was able to get him to go outside, and then to go back inside several times. I was concerned of how he would do, but she has magic powers, that's all I can say! My dog Ginger went to stay at her house. Mary sent me updates and pictures to show me that Ginger was relaxed and doing just fine. As a matter of fact, I was surprised when I went to pick Ginger up when I got back. I figured she'd be all excited to see me and everything, but she was very calm, and went straight to Mary one last time for goodbye hugs and just rubs. Mary has a kind heart, and great patience, and understands animals and their needs. I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their animals. Thank you Mary!”
“Derek & Kristina were amazing. They were very warm and just overall nice people. My dog seemed like he had an amazing time there and they were able to accommodate what I needed at the last minute which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use them many more times.”
“Deepa was so amazing. She accommodated a late night last minute request to watch our fur baby as we needed to rush out of town. She sent plenty of pics and videos of our dog playing, getting cuddles, and enjoying time with his new playmate Leo (their husky)! Thank you so much. Your pup will be in great hands with Deepa. We highly recommend and will be back!!”

“Thank you to Damon & Danyale they are sweet people. They took great care of my little baby Trixie and make her stay comfortable for her. I received pictures and great news about how happy Trixie was with them. I definitely would recommend them and will use their pet care services again”

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.

“Simba had a wonderful day with Mary! He came home relaxed, happy, and without any anxiety. From the updates we received, it looked like he had plenty of playtime and fun throughout the day. He clearly enjoyed his time and came back tired in the best way. We’re very thankful for the great care he received. Highly recommend Mary as a sitter!”

About: I have been a professional full time dog trainer for over 20 years. I opened my home to in-home boarding and day care a few years ago and absolutely love it. We treat all the animals that stay with us like they are part of our family until their loved ones come back! I send multiple updates a day, pictures and videos as well. I have many references I can offer you as well! It’s very rare that someone is not home with the animals. We spend our days going outside to play (weather permitting), and playing inside as well. The dogs are allowed to veg on the couch (if that’s allowed at their home!), and enjoy spending time with us! We have a 3 acre fenced yard. The dogs love it very much for running and playing. They are never outside unsupervised for any amount of time! Our property is perfect for endless dog fun. 🐾
“Damon and Danyale were amazing when I needed a last minute day sitter when our original sitter was not available. I’ve been needed to find a back up one close to home and definitely will be using again when needed. Damon sent many photos throughout the 2 days he was there. Highly recommend.”
“Jacqueliene has been so wonderful with my dog Augie! Communication is fantastic as she sends photos and updates on his activities. He has such a great time at her house and is calm and happy at pick up. She has watched him many times and treats him just like a part of her family/pack. I have booked recurring visits each week. I am so grateful for her!”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.

About: I have had dogs all my life...I love them. I have a female Shepherd mix and a Golden Retriever. One is 7 and the other is 6. They are fantastic dogs and get along great with other dogs. I'm home all day and don't believe in just leaving them outside. My girls, Leela and Bindi, go out back with me often and play with their toys and then they come back in with me. You could trust your dogs in my care if it's overnight or just for the day. He or she is guaranteed to enjoy their time here. I do have a 7 year old daughter and a 2 month old grandson so I could not allow dogs that are aggressive with children or other dogs. If you need any further info please feel free to reach out. I work from home so my schedule is pretty open. My dogs just hang out with me while I work and I have learned their cues when they need outside. Whatever your dog is used to is what we would do. I do not want to crate a dog that is never crated in their own home.

About: I have worked at Petsmart before. At Petsmart we are required to know what makes a dog comfortable while at a public place or somewhere other than home. I have watched over puppies 2 and 3 months old for my in laws a couple times now. My parents got a kitten that I helped take care of till I moved out about 10 months later. I own a chinchilla which is an exotic small animal. I’ve had her for a year. I’ve been fascinated by pets since I was a child and always do my research before taking care of an animal. I look forward to being of assistance. I fluctuate between part time and full time. I’m usually free tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. I can schedule the time off if it’s 3 or 4 weeks in advance. I usually work mornings except for mondays, when I work evenings. I can always visit the pup or kitty during break and then spend the rest of the day with them after work. This will most likely be temporary until I can get a solid schedule here or at Home Depot. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. My building is only a few steps away from a dog park inside of the complex. The clubhouse has dog treats and I can provide as well based on age and diet. I will always ask any questions about what you would prefer for your fur baby. I have a chinchilla that stays in a cage as long as your pet is around. She is curious and will not hurt your pet even if they stick a paw in between the bars, which is hard to do anyways. My living room is a large space for any pet. I’m currently working part time, but I’m willing to do weekly stays with 2-3 weeks in advance notice. I also will require meet ups before every service in a public place. This is not going to be required for existing clients. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.
About: I've had dogs in my life since my infancy and love dogs. I don't have a favorite breed since I think all dogs are special in their own right but I'm a big fan of chihuahuas and bulldogs. I am a freelance artist so I have plenty of time to devote to animal care. I am able to bring my setup for overnight stays so my schedule won't be impacted during pet care. I have a shared two bedroom apartment that is surrounded by plenty of grassy walking areas and a fenced in dog park, so if your pets stay with me, we'll have lots to do. I also don't mind traveling to or staying overnight at a client's house as I have my own vehicle and no other outside obligations.

“Mary is awesome!! She is an all-around animal Whisperer. She came to my house to check up on my cat while I was away. She did a house visit ahead of time, and my very elusive cat came up to her right away and within minutes she was petting him. I didn't know how he would do being outdoors a couple of days indoors a couple of days, but she was able to get him to come out from underneath the bed finally after many many minutes of coaxing. She was able to get him to go outside, and then to go back inside several times. I was concerned of how he would do, but she has magic powers, that's all I can say! My dog Ginger went to stay at her house. Mary sent me updates and pictures to show me that Ginger was relaxed and doing just fine. As a matter of fact, I was surprised when I went to pick Ginger up when I got back. I figured she'd be all excited to see me and everything, but she was very calm, and went straight to Mary one last time for goodbye hugs and just rubs. Mary has a kind heart, and great patience, and understands animals and their needs. I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their animals. Thank you Mary!”
“I had hesitated using Rover in the past simply because I had never left my dogs anywhere but with neighbors and I felt the cost would be prohibitive. I looked at the various profiles and came upon Youjin. We had a meet and greet and I found her to be the nicest person, great personality and very humorous. She has a beautiful home and it's apparent she has a love for the pets she cares for. My two dogs immediately took to her. I went on my cruise feeling secure that my dogs were being well cared for. I would highly recommend Youjin.”
“Derek & Kristina were amazing. They were very warm and just overall nice people. My dog seemed like he had an amazing time there and they were able to accommodate what I needed at the last minute which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use them many more times.”
“Deepa was so amazing. She accommodated a late night last minute request to watch our fur baby as we needed to rush out of town. She sent plenty of pics and videos of our dog playing, getting cuddles, and enjoying time with his new playmate Leo (their husky)! Thank you so much. Your pup will be in great hands with Deepa. We highly recommend and will be back!!”

“Nicole and John were incredible with my dog Mae. This was my first time using Rover, and I was hesitant given Mae is 10 years old and is usually watched by family or a family friend when we are out of town. Mae took to them immediately, and Nicole and John provided lots of love and care, checked in, and sent pictures. I had such a peace of mind while I was away. I’m grateful to have found sitters I can rely on for future trips!”
“Nikki is great in understanding the needs of my pet. My pet simba was happy coming from her boarding. I would go back to Nikki again and I bet my little would feel the same”
