“Janet was fantastic! She took great care of Luna while we checked out the Cape May zoo and a couple of restaurants. Luna had a blast running around the pool with Bo, and Janet kept us updated with fun pics. Plus, she was super flexible with us when the weather kept changing, letting us adjust our plans. We’ll definitely reach out to her next time we’re in the area! Thanks again, Janet!”
“My pups had THE BEST time with Mariah. They are rescues from during Covid, and we are working on their anxiety. Mariah gave me so much confidence that the dogs were in good hands. She was thoughtful, resourceful, and therapeutic for the dogs. She facilitated play with her larger dog and sent us priceless videos of the fun they were having. Mariah is someone you want in your dog’s life!!”
“Top tier service! This was my first time using this service and I am so elated I ran into Sterlin. She provided constant communication about the activities she was doing with Bear which made me extremely comfortable and relieved. I also think Bear fell in love as well.

“Ozzy had a wonderful time with John and his group of pups! John and his girlfriend were incredibly friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear Ozzy was well cared for and having fun. I highly recommend them as sitters and would absolutely book with them again!”

I have a fenced yard for your pup to roam around in but can also keep them separate from my dogs if need be for safety.
“Mike is warm, friendly, professional, a great safe place to bring your dog to hang out while you enjoy the beaches of Cape May and Wildwoods! We wouldn't have been able to enjoy our vacation without Mike taking care of our dog during the day - and we didn't worry about a thing because he had everything under control!”

Your pets will not only feel comfortable with me but also look forward to our visits! I play professional hockey over in Sweden during the year and in the summer I look forward to relaxing down the shore. I have dreams of getting a dog or my own one day but for now I thought this would be a great way to have them in my life! I am looking forward to either walking or checking in on the different animals. I would treat each one as if it were my own because I have always loved animals.

“Danielle is very nice, professional, and squared away. She did a great job taking care of my dog Pebbles. I did the day care service and couldn’t be any more satisfied.

I would recommend Danielle to anymore and would Definitely book another service with her.”
