7. Michael C.


“Mike was great with our boy. He sent pictures, kept us updated and dropped off our pup at our home when our plane was delayed! Will be using Mike in the future! Thank you so much for helping us out, happy that Maverick was comfortable staying with you. He was very happy and excited to see us!!!”


8. Mary B.
“I've known Mary for a long time. She has always been a lover of pets of all kinds but especially dogs and cats. Mary is my go-to person when I need someone to take care of my dogs. She is reliable, trustworthy and my dogs absolutely love Mary! They get so excited when they see her coming. I have used Mary for a day and also for overnights and trust her implicitly in my home. Mary is the best!”


9. Carol D.
“Carol is the most loving and caring pet sitter! My dog, Lola, goes crazy with excitement when she sees her, and I think even prefers Carol’s house to her own home. She is always showered with homemade treats, cuddles (when Lola will allow it), and long walks on the beach. I know she feels right at home there and I’m super comfortable leaving her when I’m away for longer trips. I would highly recommend Carol to any dog owner, and don’t trust anyone with my own more!”


10. Lorrie J.


“Lorrie is always our first choice as a dog sitter! We have a large breed dog and it can be hard to find someone to watch him. Lorrie is amazing with him, always sending us pictures and video updates on how much fun he is having with the other dogs! We are so grateful to her!”




11. Mary & Aaron R.


“I recently boarded my 1 year old Frenchie and my 13 year old lab with Mary and Aaron. I could not have been more pleased with my choice. Mary and Aaron (along with their two children-Angus and Allison) cared for my dogs as if they were their own. (Allison had a home-made welcome sign posted on the fence for our arrival). The fact that they have ramps was an added benefit for my older dog. I was constantly updated with status reports and photos which demonstrated that my dogs were having the time of their lives (while on vacation). My dogs were exhausted for days after I picked them up. This family will be my "go to" for boarding and pet sitting. You will not be disappointed. -Jackie D (Locust, NJ)”


12. Britney C.

“Britney was wonderful! She is very warm and friendly…Ruby took to her immediately! She was great at communicating and sent me updates and pictures daily! She was very flexible and accommodating, making sure Ruby was comfortable and well taken care of. Ruby seemed to have a great time! I highly recommend Britney!”


13. Michelle S.

“Michelle and her family will treat your dog like their own! It’s so nice to leave your dog with a family truly enjoyed having them. We will bring Archie to Michelle again!”


14. Lori D.

“Lori was great with our dog Stella! She kept us updated on how Stella was doing throughout the weekend and you could tell Stella was very comfortable there… She didn’t even want to leave! Would use Lori again.”


15. Danielle T.
“Danielle is very reliable and very good with our Maltipoo. Her fun and attentive personality made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her. My dog loved spending time with her! I would 100% recommend her to watch your dog.”


16. Colleen F.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't recommend Colleen enough! She watched my French bulldog, Walter, for two days, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. Colleen kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Walter came back home relaxed, happy, and clearly spoiled with attention. It’s not easy finding someone who truly understands and loves your pet like their own, but Colleen went above and beyond. Thank you, Colleen, for treating Walter like family—he can't wait for his next stay! 🐾”


17. Daniel & Markeya A.
“Daniel went above and beyond for my 17yro miniature poodle, Bella. He was the best caregiver to her for over 7yrs. He treated Bella like she was his own. He was always on time and made sure to keep me updated with timely communication. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”


18. Tabitha & Christopher M.

“They took great care of my dog when he had a tummy ache and cooked him chicken and rice. They also had to give him a bath. My Freddy is an older dog and they went above and beyond in making him feel loved and cared for”


19. Samantha J.
“Samantha has been taking care of my dogs for the past 3 years. She is very knowledgeable and will make sure your dogs have the best care.”


20. Rick C.

“Rick was great with our dog, Leo! He had an overnight stay and by the time we got him back the next day he was exhausted cause of all the fun he had running around on the farm! Rick was great with providing updates, I highly recommend!”
