“My shih tzu Bubba had a great day with Mariah while I visited Cape May. He made friends with another day boarder dog and with Mariah’s shih tzu Nala. The three of them walked together on the beach on leash and played together in the house. Mariah kept me fully informed with photos and was always prompt in responding to my inquiries from the moment I searched for a sitter and located her. Would gladly place Bubba under her care the next time I visit Cape May.”

“Ozzy had a wonderful time with John and his group of pups! John and his girlfriend were incredibly friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear Ozzy was well cared for and having fun. I highly recommend them as sitters and would absolutely book with them again!”

“Top tier service! This was my first time using this service and I am so elated I ran into Sterlin. She provided constant communication about the activities she was doing with Bear which made me extremely comfortable and relieved. I also think Bear fell in love as well.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch, I’ve done it all. My experience includes walking, in-home sitting, and boarding, so I’m comfortable adjusting to each dog’s unique needs and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and ability to build trust quickly with dogs and their owners. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds, shy or anxious pups, and dogs that need medication or special care. I’m also extremely flexible with scheduling, which makes it easier for pet parents with busy or unpredictable routines. Whether your dog needs long walks, lots of playtime, snuggles, or just a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’m here to help—and treat your pup like family. Here’s a strong and thoughtful response you can use for the question “How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine?”: --- Pet care is a big part of my daily life and something I truly enjoy. I make it a priority in my schedule and structure my day around the needs of the dogs I care for. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I’m flexible and fully committed to being available when pet parents need me. Since I offer walking, sitting, and boarding, I stay active throughout the week and keep a consistent routine for each dog. I love building long-term relationships with pets and their owners, and I always make sure every pup gets the attention, play, and care they deserve—every single Great question — here's a strong, well-rounded answer for “How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client’s home?” based on the services you offer: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that keeps pets happy and stress-free. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play, rest, and routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any medication needs. I also make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and affection while they’re with me — it's truly a home away from home.

About: I have been around animals my whole life! I am very comfortable with any size dog. I have experience working with animal shelters and dog sitting for the past 15 years. Your pets will not only feel comfortable with me but also look forward to our visits! I play professional hockey over in Sweden during the year and in the summer I look forward to relaxing down the shore. I have dreams of getting a dog or my own one day but for now I thought this would be a great way to have them in my life! I am looking forward to either walking or checking in on the different animals. I would treat each one as if it were my own because I have always loved animals.

“Danielle is very nice, professional, and squared away. She did a great job taking care of my dog Pebbles. I did the day care service and couldn’t be any more satisfied. When I took Pebbles back to Danielle’s house for the second time my dog was happy and eager to spend more time with Danielle. Danielle communicates very well with you before and during your dogs time with her. Danielle took my dog and penalty of walks. I would recommend Danielle to anymore and would Definitely book another service with her.”
