Top rated Surf City doggy day care sitters
“Kara was great with our dog. She was extremely flexible and responsive regarding drop off and pickup, and her own dogs were fun for our dog to play with. We will definitely use her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”
“Paula was honestly the best dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She is humble, kind, and was absolutely wonderful with Cappucino. She was very, VERY patient with him, through his stubbornness, active personality, and especially his barking. I couldn’t ask for any one better to care for my dog. Cappucino is stubborn and it isn’t easy to get him to trust you, especially if he barely knows you. But somehow, Paula managed to win him over! I was so happy when I found out they were starting to become friends. She send us updates, messages, and pictures throughout our entire stay, and is surprisingly quite a nice photographer! I recommend Paula to everyone, and would give her a 10/5 if I could. You won’t regret having her care for your pup!”
“Corrine was great! She sent plenty of pictures of Max during his stay and I knew he was having a great time while I was out for the day. I picked him up at the end of the day, happy and exhausted. Thank you!!”

“Deb and Ed are truly dog lovers They took very good care of my 7 month old Archie They even gave me hits to house train and walk train him I highly recommend them”
“Absolutely amazing! He took perfect care of my pup and was amazing with picture updates all the time! I've never seen my pup comfortable enough to just fall asleep after spending time away! Will keep coming back whenever I can! My dog adores him and I think he is one of the greatest rover sitters I have come across!!!!!”
“Our pup Wicket had a great time staying with Lynn and her family! This was our first time leaving him with someone other than friends/family so we were really concerned but Lynn was the best sitter we could ask for. She provided lots of photo and text updates throughout the week and Wicket was well taken care of. He will probably sleep for a week after all of the playtime he got with Lynn and her dogs. We’d definitely recommend her and will use her again next time we come to LBI.”

Jesatina P.
“I highly recommend Jesatina to care for anyone’s pets. In fact, if it wasn’t for her rescuing an 8 month old American Bulldog, we wouldn’t have this fur baby in our lives that we now consider a part of our family! She is extremely kind hearted and compassionate towards all animals inside her own home and especially with others fur babies as well. Jesatina has always been a pet sitter ever since she was a young teen. She is reliable, affectionate, and gives your pets the attention they deserve. If you are looking for someone that cares and is 💯 trustworthy, then I’d be happy to recommend Jesatina to care for your pets. Thank you! Jeanette”
Shruti T.
“I have been friends with Shruti for 20 years, and one of the things I’ve always loved about her is how much she cares for animals. She absolutely adores my dog and always asks me to bring him over when I visit. It’s so sweet to see how excited she gets to spend time with him—she showers him with love, playtime, and treats, and makes sure he feels right at home. Shruti is not only a wonderful friend to me but also incredibly gentle, patient, and thoughtful with every pet she meets. I trust her completely and know she would provide safe, loving care and make any pet feel like family. Anyone would be lucky to have Shruti looking after their furry friend.”
