About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I grew up with dogs and have been around animals my entire life, so caring for them feels natural to me. I currently have my own dog, Ralphie, and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Ralphie has anxiety, so I’ve learned a lot about patience, routines, reading behavior cues, and helping dogs feel calm and comfortable in new situations. I also have experience with pets who need extra care and medication. My family cared for a diabetic dog for years, so I’m familiar with consistent schedules, attentive monitoring, and specialized needs. I also care for a cat with hypothyroidism, so administering medication and keeping routines on track is something I’m comfortable with. Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and extra attention during visits. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves playtime, needs a calm reassuring presence, or requires extra care, I’ll treat them like family. Based in North Wildwood and available throughout nearby shore towns including Wildwood, Wildwood Crest, Cape May, Stone Harbor, and surrounding areas. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I work remotely so I have a flexible schedule during the week and can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and extra attention during visits. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. I know how important it is for pets to feel loved and understood. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I focus on creating a calm, happy experience. I learn your pet’s personality, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe. From snuggles to playtime to quiet companionship, I’m there to give them the care they deserve.

“Jill was great. Took great care of our dogs. I had a good feeling they were in good hands. She left a detailed update when she was done taking care of them. Jill is a very nice person and she is great with dogs!”

About: I have dog sat for other people before and I absolutely love animals. I have 5 of my own animals that I love with all of my heart. One of them is a puppy right now. I have experienced little dogs, medium dogs, bigger dogs and puppies. I’ve learned a lot through my own trial and error early on with my own dogs. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently working part time and I have time in my day to make sure your pet has all the love and attention it needs. Since I have 5 dogs it would preferably have to be in the clients home especially the first few times so I would be able to connect with the dog.

“Caroline has taken care of my bull terrier twice this month, conducting drop-in visits. The purpose of these visits is to give my dog a chance to eat/bathroom while I'm working really long days (weekend events). Time slots are usually flexible, as long as he gets outside at reasonable intervals. And I definitely needed someone reliable and experienced to make sure he was well-taken care of. Caroline has done a great job, both weekends. She communicates when she is stopping by, when she leaves, and how he did. She's been punctual and did everything I requested - food, medicine, kongs, bathroom breaks, etc. and fills out a nice summary on the app to let you know how everything went. I actually look forward to the reports throughout the day! My BT is a foster-to-adopt situation and has been re-homed a few times for various reasons (mostly behavioral issues). He's been a tough case, but has succeeded with me for the last 5-6 months and I plan on keeping him. Though some would say he's special needs, I would say he is mostly a normal dog with the potential to over-do it with his emotions (mostly happiness turned into extreme playtime or just not knowing when to stop); he just needs someone strong who knows how to handle dogs with a few quirky flaws and he's fine. That being said, I wouldn't leave him with just anyone. I can tell Caroline has a strong background in animals, particularly dogs and handled Bread with no problem. She asked the right questions upon meet/greet, was very attentive to details, and I felt great about my choice. I don't 100% trust Bread will do just anything one might ask of him and he's smart enough to try and out-smart you. So, someone with Caroline's experience was necessary. Half the time the sitter flakes or pretends to show up all times you needed, but never did. You can trust Caroline to give you an honest, worry-free experience. Whenever I'm in Cape May and need a drop-in, she's my first call.”

About: I’ve always grown up with pets, and I have always loved caring for all animals. From friends to family, I’ve done it all in caring for them I can take of all pets during the days. I work mostly nights, so I would be able to watch your pets while you are out at work all day I’d feed your pet, walk them let them do their business outside. Even multiple times a day if needed, can take them to vet appointments, I’m free almost every morning since I work nights

About: Hi everyone! My name is Emma, I am new to Rover but I have been watching, walking, & fostering dogs for the past 8 years! I have fostered 14 dogs this year (10 of them being under 14 weeks old) & have 2 years experience in adult dog & puppy training via fostering & working at my local animal shelter. I currently work part time so i am available for visits every day until 4pm & boarding can be arranged as needed around my work schedule. I have a fenced in yard at my home & 2 older male dogs (ages 8 & 6, both neutered) to keep your dog company if boarding.

“Alaya and Lily were wonderful! We needed someone to stop by to let our dogs out and feed them while we were at our wedding and they took such great care of them. We accidentally locked the door on our way out and I wasn’t responsive on my phone (I was busy walking down the aisle!) and they figured out a plan b to get the dogs without my help. Such a relief! I also got lots of picture updates which put me at ease :)”

About: Hi! I'm spending the summer in Wildwood with my family and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chinchillas, so caring for animals has been a part of my everyday life since I was young. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just keeping a pet company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, playtime, and house sitting services. I'll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, affection, and care while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. While I can't offer boarding because my family home is already full of furry friends, I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets in the place where they're most comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I do work a full 9-5 job and am out of the house from 8-6 everyday. I can do nightly dog walking during the weeks and can board dogs for those busy weekend or weekend getaways. I am currently living in a two bedroom apartment. My building is located just across the street from a park where we can go out to run around and play. Pets are allowed on the couch but will not be allowed on the bed.

About: I’m located near the shore and often work with visitors who want dependable, attentive care for their dog while they’re enjoying the beach or local restaurants. I have a 6-month-old Cavapoo named Louie who absolutely loves other dogs, and I make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, safe, and part of the routine Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home consistently throughout the day, so I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, and activity schedules. I prioritize structure and consistency to make sure each dog feels comfortable and settled, whether they’re here for a few hours or a longer stay. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment so dogs feel comfortable right away. In my home, I keep a structured routine with regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and downtime, along with supervised play—especially with my puppy, Louie, who loves other dogs. I have a fenced in yard that the pups love to play in. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their dog’s normal routine and preferences to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m very attentive to behavior and adjust as needed, and I always keep owners updated.

About: I have taken care of both of my family dogs and our cat for around 10 years now. I have also cared for family friend's animals when they were away walking, feeding, and watching them. I am currently in school full time but have plenty of time throughout the week, as well as weekends, to care for all of your pets! I will not take more than one dog at a time for a walk if requested so that it is guaranteed there will be no issues with other dogs.

About: I have had my first dog since I was eleven years old, and I have had my second dog for two years. Since I have had experience with taking care of pets for so long, I am confident in my dog walking and sitting abilities. I also have experience with both smaller and bigger dogs with different energy levels because my older dog is a yorkie and my second dog is a Siberian Husky that my family rescued. Therefore, I understand the difference in pet personalities and how to handle them. I am currently employed, however, I am still available during most weekdays and weekends for dog/cat sitting and dog walking during the day and at night. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as I would want for my own. I am sure to give every pet attention, exercise, and adhere to the pet's usual routine.

“The best dog sitter we have ever had. We booked very last minute due to a cancellation. She was extremely nice, responsive, and helpful. We got a lot of awesome pictures of our dog each drop in. She took her on several walks and loved on her. Could not have asked for a better experience and will absolutely try to book with her again. 5+ stars”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life I love to pet , brush & play with all kinds. A nice long walk is always needed or just some playtime. I’m a stay at home mom of all adult children who also love all kinds of animals. I’m available any time of day or night.I spend most of the summer away so my availability will be based on what type of care is needed. I have a large fenced in yard ( when watching pups in my Bucks county Pa home) for them to run and play in or I'm available to go to your home for feeding, walks & check ins. We are a dog & cat friendly home.

“Mariah is amazing! Mariah watched Champ for 4 days over the Easter break. She came 3x each day so we could visit with family.”
