About: I absolutely love dogs and have been caring for them for years. What sets me apart is the genuine passion and experience I bring to every pet I look after. Whether it’s training playful puppies, making senior dogs feel comfortable, or just giving lots of love and attention, I treat every dog like part of our family. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always our top priorities. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very easily because I have flexible schedules, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I am able to give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. In some cases, even my roommate can help out if needed, making sure there’s always someone available to look after your pet. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with them by my side, and to me, they’ve never just been pets — they’re family. I honestly feel like the love and loyalty you get from a dog is something truly special, and sometimes I realize I’ve trusted and cared for dogs more easily than some people! In just the last few years, I’ve had the joy of caring for over 30 different dogs, each one leaving a little pawprint on my heart. Every dog has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique — whether they’re shy and gentle or playful and full of energy. When I’m taking care of your dog, whether at my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and happy — like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away. I’m big on keeping routines, because I know how important it is for dogs to feel at home. If there are any special diets, medications, or habits your pup needs, just let me know — I’ll stick to them closely. I’ll also send lots of photo and text updates because I know how much it means to see that your dog is doing well. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own — with love, patience, playtime, and plenty of cuddles if they want them. Can’t wait to meet your best friend and make sure they have the best time while you’re away!

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have had a variety of all animals such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, etc for as long as I can remember. I’ve had exposure to animals of all age ranges. In the past, I have had senior dogs who have had seizure disorders and provided comfort care for them until the end including medications, pain management and helping them through challenging moments from their medical conditions. My focus and goal being apart of your pets care is to provide them a safe, comfortable, friendly environment while under my care and also just having fun! I have had dogs that I have worked with on behavioral modification training, leash training, potty training, etc. Although I am not a certified trainer, I have had exposure to reward and positive reinforcement training and have worked on this closely with a trainer and my own animals and have seen the benefits. I am looking forward to being a positive impact on your sanity and your pets care! I currently am out of work and expecting a little one! With all of my free time, I’d love to put it towards doing something I love and enjoy, spending it with animals! In my clients home, I would ensure that all pets needs are met with food, water, stimulation with play, etc. For safety I would leash the pet before opening the door for a walk and ensuring the pet is tamed and not too excitable walking out the door to avoid any accidents. I would utilize any tools the owner provided such as crates, gates, etc while caring for the pet. For care in my home, I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs, 2 cats. I would slowly introduce them to each other and have gates available along with 3 different floors in my home to separate if need be. I have crates available if needed to give space. I am always home and would never need to leave your pet alone! I have plenty of toys and treats ready to go!

About: I've taken care of all different types of animals my entire life, from turtles and snakes to dogs and cats and I love them all, so don't ask which is my favorite! I am a wildlife expert by day and a pet lover by night! I spend most of my time with family and studying wildlife. I am able to make most schedules work and will be able to accommodate most care requests provided. I will also be able to care for pets overnight! I am able to do most services, from simple pet sitting and dog walking. Having taken care of a variety of pets for more than a decade has given me experience to deal with most situations. I take great care of all my pets and will treat anyone else's like they are my own.


About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.

About: I provide 24 hour a day care for your pet while you are away. I have relatively high availability. I am trained and certified in canine CPR and first aid. I also have experience with pocket pets, reptiles, and farm animals. I work with animals of all sizes and shapes. I can also provide training if asked. I am working towards earning my vet-tech certification. I am very flexible willing to work with you and your dog. I am always willing to go above and beyond for your pet. Rover is my only job, and I pride myself in the quality of care I am able to give. Your Fur-Babies are my only focus. I provide 24-hour supervision, long walks (it has not been uncommon for me to do mile-long walks with the dogs), frequent potty breaks, and lots of playtime.


“Kenneth watched Linc for 5 days while I was on vacation. The dogs loved him at a meet and greet before I left. Kenneth was reliable and worked with me to get details worked out. I got notifications, pictures and updates on each walk which was nice. I'd be more than happy to use him again.”


“Amanda is amazing with Ovitto and Kakashi, we received pictures of them looking all happy. Love the care and attention she gives them, very understanding & patient with Kakashi who is very shy and nervous when out of his comfort zone.”


About: Hello! I have several years of both personal and professional experience with animals. Growing up, I’ve always had cats and dogs ranging from big to small and with all different temperaments. I have no problem walking, bathing, playing, and assisting with medication. I have both worked and volunteered at my local humane society so special needs do not scare me! Currently, I have two cats of my own- one of which is a tripod. I have fostered baby kittens ranging from 5 days old to 8 weeks old, some of which required bottle feeding. Aside from your typical cats and dogs, I’ve also owned a potbelly pig and have looked after varies other animals without issue. Animals really are a passion for me and I am looking forward to getting involved with this site! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so last minute bookings are not a problem! I am open to doing both daytime and nighttime bookings. As I have my own animals, I will not be bringing any animals into my own home since we have not properly introduced/socialized our pets to one another so I don’t believe that is the safest option. But I will ensure that your animal is as safe as can be in their own comfortable environment!


About: I have a deep love and compassion for animals, and caring for them brings me true joy and fulfillment. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply spending time with them, I find great purpose in making sure they feel safe, healthy, and loved. I enjoy learning about their unique behaviors and needs, and I take pride in being gentle, patient, and responsible. I work part time under 20 hours a week which allows me to take care of my babies and allows to me to take care of yours as well. every animal is unique and each requires different needs. whether it be diet restriction to different toys they like the most. the most important thing is making sure your pet is comfortable around me and to make it as easy as possible for your pet to enjoy being with someone else that they are not used to yet.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented

About: Hello my name is Angela and I'm a huge animal enthusiast. I live not to far from most shore towns where people visit including Ocean City and Sea Isle. I own a home on a medium sized lot,so your dog has somewhere to safely play. The backyard is fenced off while the front is not. I also live in a relatively small neighborhood (2x3) blocks that's perfect for going on walks with the pups! I will take really good care of your family member as I would my own. I also don't mind sending frequent check ins and I'm guilty of taking to many pictures because they are just so dang cute! Please feel free to contact me anytime, looking forward to hearing from you! I work part time for a medical office remotely and visit the office twice a week for an hour or two. The rest of that time I enjoy doing crafts, playing with the dogs outside and inside, watching movies and making a new snuggle buddy. I have dealt with the escape artist routine and don't want to pose that risk to your pet. We have a backyard with a fence and will remain on a leash no matter what. I just don't feel comfortable trusting them without it. I have a "TWO DOOR POLICY", which just means that if any exterior doors are opened, your pet will either be leashed to go outside before or will be placed in a bedroom behind another door before the exterior door can be opened. Absolutely no chance for an escape artist!

“Jacqueline is a wonderful choice for looking after your pet! She is very responsive and makes sure that my dog Mac is taken care of and loved. We trust her to come by and take our pup for a walk while we are at work. Would recommend her for anyone needing help!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds, from dogs and cats, my whole life. I am no stranger to small nor large dogs alike and enjoy researching care for any pet or breed I may handle. I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time and devotion to care for your loved furbabies when you can’t be there yourself! I have a car and am able to come to your location. I also live near several dog parks which I have vetted and deemed safe/friendly. If your dog like long walks, I can take it for a nice hike on a pet friendly trail or around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.

About: I’ve grown up around many animals helping pet sit some growing up. Currently in school for veterinary technician hoping to use my knowledge for you & your pets needs!! I’m currently working part time hoping to become a full time sitter to pay for college :)) I have open availability to accommodate to your schedule! I have patience & understand how complicated each & every animal may be. I know how to restrain & help calm animals down if needed.

About: I do it all. I walk/run with dogs of all sizes. I'm not worried about getting dirty. If your dog gets dirty, bath time is my favorite. Clean up all messes including in your own yard. I tuck dogs in for bedtime. I will bring your dog to his/her vet appointments if need be. I love to cuddle no matter the breed as long as your dog likes it too. I have experience with "troublesome" dogs and might even be able to provide some tips that have helped me in my experience. If you have other pets I will care for them too. I have experience with cats, birds, tarantulas, turtles, fish, lizards, rabbits, chickens, horses, and small rodents. Most importantly, I will contact you upon every arrival and departure with details on the visit.

About: I’m currently working as a CSR at cape vet hospital! I’ve grown up my whole life around dogs! I have my own and love them so much! I’m active and really good with pets, I’ve work in trusted environments before including child care! I’m currently working some hours at Cape vet hospital but on my time off I’ll be more than happy to come meet some pups! I’m completely free on Sundays! I live with four pets one being my own! I’ve grown up around hunting dogs my whole life, helping with liters of puppies and caring for them as well. As a young girl I wanted to be a vet even! I’m good with training and walking. If my pet was to come along she’s super nice and loves everyone and everything. If anything’s she a shy little thing haha!

“Destiny has taken care of many pets over the years with physical and mental issues. I've personally seen her take care of a dog with a bad hip and leg, so she helped it get up and walk to use the bathroom. She currently has 2 dogs that are medicated for bad anxiety. I trust her with any of my pets and she is a caring animal lover who I have no doubt will do well handling and caring for other people's animals.”
