Pet care experience

Babysitter :-)

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.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

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!

They sent plenty of pictures to assure us our pup was having a good time. He was fed, taken well care of, and got to play with their friendly doggy too! This was a last minute request so they really helped us out on our way to Wildwood! We would definitely use them again for sitting!

Great communication the entire time, they sent us lots of pictures and videos of our kitty as he settled in for boarding. It was the first time we'd boarded our cat ever and they really put us at ease with how well they cared for him!

John is so great with Arwen and she loves his dogs! She always comes home tired from playing! He sends so many cute videos and picture updates while we are at work!

John was very prompt with communication, flexible regarding pick up and drop out, sent photos, and my dog seemed to have a great stay. I would definitely book again when visiting the Cape May area.

Schedule

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.

It’s really important for me to know anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable — like their favorite blanket, toy, treat, or any part of their daily routine. If they have specific habits, quirks, or things that help them relax (even a favorite napping spot!), just let me know. The more I know, the better I can make them feel at home while you’re away.
