“Kristin was amazing with our puppy and we already have her booked again! Hazel had so much fun with the other dogs and didn’t want to leave. Couldn’t recommend more!!!”
“Wish we could give Karen more than 5 stars! She was so loving and caring with our two dogs and gave us daily updates. This was our first time leaving them and she made us and them feel so comfortable. Highly recommend Karen for doggy day care or boarding - she is the best!!”
“Erick is terrific -- kind, patient and flexible. My maltese, Oscar, got some nice social time with Erick's other pups, which Erick documented with regular texted photos. It is hard to leave your four-legged with a stranger, but Erick really lifted my anxiety about that and in fact he's taking care of Oscar this week while I'm in Mexico. It is a relief to have someone nearby that I can now count on to take good care of my boy Oscar.”
“Kristy was great with Marcy! she's just a puppy so I was worried how she would react to spending a night away from home. Kristy sent pictures to me throughout the entire stay and was super accommodating when we picked her up later than I thought! Will definitely be leaving Marcy there whenever we go out of town!!”
“Melissa went above and beyond with my dog, Buddy. She sent daily pictures with their itinerary. Buddy was spoiled with exercise and attention. I was able to fully relax on vacation. I could see by the pictures that he felt right at home. I highly recommend Melissa!”
“Carol was amazing and made my Jasmine feel right at home. She took Jasmine on great walks and took the time to understand Jasmines routine to replicate it. I appreciate Carols attention detail and care. Will definitely work with her again. You can tell she cares about dogs!”
“Lauren was amazing! We felt so safe having her watch our Luna girl. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Boomer was delighted to return to LInda. We really appreciate Linda’s care and frequent feedback of Boomer leading his best life while staying with her!”
“Our pup had a wonderful experience with Cheryl! She was so thoughtful and attentive, we were able to enjoy our evening knowing our dog was in excellent hands!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Michelle! She took care of my Pomeranian while I was away in Toronto for the weekend, and I returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pup. Michelle was incredibly communicative throughout the weekend, sending me lots of pictures and updates. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, making sure he got plenty of playtime and love. It was clear she treated him like her own. I highly recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to watch their dog.”
“We boarded our dog with Colleen for one night while we visited the beach, since our vacation hotel wasn’t pet-friendly. Colleen was incredibly responsible and friendly throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, took our pup on long walks, played fetch with her in the backyard, and really made her feel at home. She even offered to pick up our dog and kindly recommended some great local spots for us to visit. We’re so grateful for her thoughtful care — we hope she enjoyed the little gift, and we’ll definitely reach out again next year if we return for another trip!”
“Mark was an amazing Rover for our dog! He gave her plenty of exercise and attention and sent several update photos over the course of the day. His backyard was perfect for Penny to run around and he was the perfect care taker for our fur baby!”
“Alexis and Bean were wonderful! They took such great care of Charlie, sent pictures and communicated well the whole time! Charlie came back so happy and tired lol”
“We had such a great experience with Carly! Fig absolutely loved spending time with Willow- they became fast friends. It was such a comfort knowing Fig was in a warm, caring home with another sweet pup to play with. Highly recommend!”

“Katie was fantastic! She took great of our dog for an overnight and was very conveniently located close to Asbury Park. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, replied quickly and asked good questions about providing care. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs in her care during the afternoon and settled in nicely for a relaxing night. She made sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our pup- highly recommended!”
“Lovely experience with Annie! She took care of my high energy dog overnight and things were as smooth and simple as can be. I got plenty of pictures, so I knew my pup was in good hands and having a blast. Communicative, friendly, and caring: what more could you ask for from a dog sitter? Thanks Annie, we'll be back!”
About: Hello, my name is Conor. The name Conor, from Irish origin, means lover of hounds or wolf lover. Growing up with labs, dog sitting for friends and family, and even living with roommates with dogs, I’ve always been around them. Now living in Asbury Park, 1 block from the dog beach, I have the ability to give your dog beach access in the mornings and afternoons! I’m a social person who is very active, will ensure your furry friend gets plenty of outside time balanced with well deserved rest and relaxation. I’m currently working M-F in the office so will only be available on the weekends for dog sitting. However, with hopes of transitioning to remote work, I should be able to take weekdays in the near future. I do live in an apartment but I am only one block from the beach. The apartment is dog friendly and home to several furry friends. There is a well kept grass yard out front and on the side of the building. On the weekends I love to get active, going on hikes and maximizing time outdoors!
“Super great with Pete, he came back happy and tired, which I love! Her kids are adorable and super good with dogs too. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Danielle was wonderful! Our dog Sunny loved her, her husband, their dogs and their dog-loving kitten. She treated our dog like she was their own, and Sunny came back happy and tired from all the fun she had in their yard. Great communication too. Thank you, Danielle!”
