About: Hi! I’m Cory, an animal lover and full-time real estate agent based in South Jersey. When I’m not helping clients find their dream homes, I’m spending time with my dog and enjoying the outdoors. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring to look after your pets when you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat your pets like my own. With patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! I am currently a real estate agent. So I have a very flexible schedule and am usually available every weekday and sometimes on the weekend I always make sure to be in the same room as them. If we go outside I like to make sure I’m not too close to strangers just incase you never know how they might react.


About: Coming from the luxury hospitality world, including many years at the Ritz-Carlton, we know how to create an truly enjoyable experience for our guests. In this case, our guest is your loving dog! We are committed to following your instructions to ensure that your love is treated the way he/she deserves to be treated. Clearly, we can't replicate the experience he/she has at home in your loving arms, but we strive to be a close second. Checking in often, paying attention to what your they're telling us, and maintaining a warm and loving home is our priority. With two kids aged 15 and 12, a big fenced-in backyard, and canine friends on either side, our home is the perfect environment to ensure that your loving dog is having the fun suburban vacation that he/she deserves while you're away for work or pleasure. We love taking pictures, so that you can rest assured that everyone is having a great time! Message us for more info! Both Stephen and Jill work from home and are available for a lot of one on one attention. We love having dogs to spend time with during the day. We have a fenced in yard, no pets in our home but two children that love playing with dogs. Our family enjoys having dogs to walk around the neighborhood, whether it is ours or we come to your home to walk your dog.

About: I genuinely believe I was put on this planet to care for animals. From dogs and cats to small mammals and wildlife, I’ve done it all! I have experience with pretty much any creature you can think of and maybe even some you can’t, lol. Seniors and those with special needs will always have a huge place in my heart. I promise to make your companion feel as loved as possible while you are away! Life landed me in a position to work from home/renovate our house so I am home almost all the time. I figured I’m so used to caring for animals anyway, I may as well help you with peace of mind while you’re away and I can make a few bucks doing something I love that I’m genuinely good at. We have a fenced in yard and live in a dog-friendly, super walkable neighborhood. My biggest goal is to have your companion be as comfortable and feel as loved as possible while you’re away, so any details you can share with me to keep them as close as possible to their routine would be amazing!

“Tricia was wonderful. She was very responsive and took great care of our two dogs and house. Most importantly, the dogs loved her! So glad we’ve found a reliable pet sitter with Tricia.”


About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have watched a number of dogs for friends and family. I can feed, play, walk, give meds, and anything else you may need for your pet. I love animals and always make sure they are treated well. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to help with your pet at any time throughout the day. I am very flexible. I can let dogs outside to use the bathroom if they have a fenced in yard or take them on walks, whatever is preferred. I can play outside with them as well to tire them out while their parents are away.
