We have been providing exceptional pet care for dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and other family pets in Princeton, NJ and the surrounding areas of Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset counties since 1990. Our new house sitting/home care service for people without pets is also available for these areas.
Services
We know that our customers lead very busy lives. The work day is long and hectic. Weekends can be full of errands and travel. Emergencies happen. This is the perfect opportunity for you to hire a reputable dog walker. A-Door-A-Pet's daily dog walking service is perfect for your dog when you simply cannot be around to exercise or play.
A-Door-A-Pet offers daily cat care service for your feline companion. Cats are always more comfortable in their own home environment where the surroundings are familiar even though you may not be there. With A-Door-A-Pet you can go away and have peace of mind knowing that we are there once or twice daily to spend time with them.
If we are administering oral medications, we ask that you obtain a pill shooter from your veterinarian. Written instructions with veterinarian information should always be left behind for your pet sitter, including your cell phone numbers. Do you have a pet that requires frequent veterinary visits?
A Door A Pet provides in-home care for a variety of small animals including rabbits, birds, turtles & tortoises and even goldfish or koi ponds. We are happy to clean and refresh food and water bowls, change bedding, clean filters and more. For clients that have other types of small animals please feel free to call and just ask us at (609) 799-3111.

We have been using A-Door-A-Pet's services since 2006 and have found them to be absolutely reliable at both pet-sitting and house-sitting. Cindy and her staff have repeatedly shown remarkable responsibility and ingenuity when problems have arisen while we were away, such as a bad wasp infestation which they completely resolved while we were away, and a broken door lock, which they managed to get fixed with us out of the country.

Every weird request we've ever made has been handled cheerfully and expertly, and all of our houseplants have thrived under their care (not to mention our cat). I couldn't recommend them more strongly. Melinda Varian

We love Cindy and A-Door-A-Pet. I contact Cindy and Murphy at least once a month to watch our two cats. One requires medication twice daily and I know he is receiving excellent care in their hands.

We used their service for our two dachshunds for many years and were very pleased with them. Suzette and Heather were our favorites at the time. We also used them for overnights when we were away and never had any issues until one of the sitters got sick and they had to have a sub come to our house while we were going to Canada. Our dogs were pretty easy to deal with and we had given very specific instructions about not lifting up the boy as he didn't like that.

Half way to Toronto we got the call that the sitter had been bit (and the dog never did that to anyone before) and was going to the hospital. Long story short: We got sued for $10.000.00 and we strongly disagreed with our insurance provider at the time State Farm (which we don't use any more) but they said it was easier to pay than going to court.

The owner Cindy (that we always liked) unfortunately had only one comment: It is between us and the sitter. The point here is - Please look at the fine print. If there is ever an issue you are on your own and she is not taking any responsibility.

Cindy and her wonderful team have cared for our cat many times. We travel to see family and are away for long stretches. Our cat is always well cared for and we appreciate having peace of mind while we're gone. We strongly recommend their services!

Cindy took great care of my senior cat, Saki! Saki can be quite a handful but Cindy was always available and willing to put up with Saki's quirks. Thank you, Cindy!

A-Door-A-Pet does a wonderful job. Cindy is professional, responsive and reliable. We couldn't ask for anyone better. Our cat has medical needs and Cindy and her staff have done a great job keeping him on track and healthy when we are away. They clean up after the our cat - his space is spotless when we return. It is wonderful to be able to be gone and to have no worries.

We love Door a Pet they are spectacular with my dog, Charlie. We used 3-4 times a week for regular walks since July of this year. Since the beginning they were very friendly and always made sure Charlie is happy and that I knew he was loved by the crew. Cindy is the best and Charlie loves her so so much! We highly recommend Door a Pet they are the best!

I'm a frequent user of A door a pet services for my cat Fox. Cindy, the owner, is very professional and flexible. We know Fox will always be provided exceptional care when we are out of town. It is also very pleasant to receive some pictures of Fox. Thank you Cindy for your excellent job.

Much easier and cheaper than going to a kennel. Staying in-home also means your pet doesn't get stressed or sick from other animals.

The staff at A Door A Pet take care of my senior kitty whenever I have to leave town. I love having peace of mind knowing that she will be well cared for when I'm gone. They also post cute photo updates on their Facebook page, which are great. I would recommend A Door A Pet to anyone looking for pet care in Princeton.

Cindy and her associates at A-Door-A-Pet do a wonderful job of taking care of our cat when we go out of town. They are reliable, caring, and goes out of their way to make sure the "pet parents" can be away from their pets worry-free. Our cat, who is not known for her warmth with strangers (or anyone else, for that matter), really seems to take to Cindy, the owner. I can recommend A-Door-A-Pet to anyone who is looking for a pet caregiver for a day, a week, or longer.

I have used A Door A Pet for many years and they are great. They care about your pet and keep them happy and healthy and safe. Over the years various "pet sitters" have appeared and they have all been good thanks to Cindy Valush who pick great staff and trains them well. I can travel for extended periods and feel that they house will be intact when I return.

Usually my cats only look at me when I return with a look like "Oh you are back. We like the pet sitter better!" I cannot say enough good things about this group and I personally hope they stay around for a good long time!

I have used the services of A Door a Pet for many years. They have always been reliable, caring, and available even for last minute bookings. Not only do Cindy and her staff love animals, they are always careful to let me know how my cats did in my absence. I feel completely comfortable knowing that they are in good hands. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful pet sitting service.

Totally reliable. Always professional, with a nice personal touch. For several years now, Cindy and her team have been cat-sitting for our three cats, including one that needs injections twice daily. She genuinely cares about our cats, and we can always count no her to make our vacations stress-free. Highly recommended!
