Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

I’m Princeton, a dependable and attentive pet sitter with hands‑on experience caring for both a dog and a cat in a home environment. Over the years, I’ve learned how to balance the different personalities and needs of each animal—whether that’s keeping a playful pup engaged with structured walks and enrichment or giving a curious cat the calm, consistent attention they prefer. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable routine that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. From feeding schedules and medication reminders to exercise, grooming, and plenty of affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is always to maintain their normal rhythm, reduce stress, and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and well‑cared‑for. Owners can count on me for clear communication, reliability, and genuine care that goes beyond the basics.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
