“Corinne was absolutely incredible with my pup when I needed a hand during a visit to my family down the shore. My dog returned to me happy and super tired and sleepy ready for a nap 😊.”



“Paula was honestly the best dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She is humble, kind, and was absolutely wonderful with Cappucino. She was very, VERY patient with him, through his stubbornness, active personality, and especially his barking. I couldn’t ask for any one better to care for my dog. Cappucino is stubborn and it isn’t easy to get him to trust you, especially if he barely knows you. But somehow, Paula managed to win him over! I was so happy when I found out they were starting to become friends. She send us updates, messages, and pictures throughout our entire stay, and is surprisingly quite a nice photographer! I recommend Paula to everyone, and would give her a 10/5 if I could. You won’t regret having her care for your pup!”


About: Love and respect animals of all kinds. Long-time dog owner...all of which have lived beyond life expectancy. Simply put, I have a good rapport with almost every dog I have come in contact with. On the most basic level I am kind, trustworthy, and honest. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with dog owners own schedule. Flexible pet care would not be an issue for me as I can be available day and night. I have a pet-friendly home and I have a large expanse of woods behind my house with trails. Pets under my care would always be on a leash unless in a fenced yard.

About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have two adorable pups of my own—an affectionate 12-year-old toy poodle (the boss) and an energetic 4-year-old doodle. They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends. I have a fenced yard, and two pups to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I can provide a crate if need be for sleeping accommodations

“Arlene did a great job taking care of my dog.”


“Our pup, Winston really enjoyed his time with Kristen and her family. From the minute I dropped him off, he was totally comfortable. Their sweet dog, Bailey is a new found friend. They did a lot of playing and napping together:) We’ll definitely be reaching out to Kristen again when pup sitting is needed.”


“My pups were in excellent hands with Jackie. She has the perfect set up for puppy comfort and playing. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her for boarding next week.”


“Carol was amazing as a sitter for my 2 year old German Shepard. She took amazing care of her and it was clear she gave her the attention she deserved. Will be seeking her help again in the future !”

“Christine was absolutely amazing . She is so caring and sweet, and made my puppy feel right at home . She sent updates and photos and I always felt connected to my Pup . As a first time dog mama leaving him was hard , Christine eased all my worries and ensured my dog had the best day . She is just the sweetest and is wonderful !”


“Danielle kept our girl Trixie for the day while we hosted a bbq for 65 people. Trixie is an escape artist if someone leaves the door or gate open more than 2 seconds so we knew we needed to send her to camp for the day. Danielle sent us a video of Trixie having a blast with the other dogs. Danielle was even flexible enough to deliver Trixie back to our home (same town) as a last minute request. We will definitely use her again. Thanks for pooping my girl out, she slept like a log that night.”


About: For as long as I can remember I've always loved dogs and cats! I love to play with dogs, go on walks with them also. Play fetch, give them treats.

“Patty gets 5 stars without a doubt. Brody always seems to have a great time when he spends the day with Patty and Tucker! She always shows so much patience and understanding for Brody's anxiety and nervous energy upon arrival at her house. Within minutes of my leaving, Patty always follows up with pictures, assuring me that Brody has calmed down and is happily playing with Tucker and any other pup(s) she has that day.
