About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. Raised and trained dogs. My animals have always been my children. As a Critical Care Registered Nurse i provide compassionate and medically minded pet sitting services. I bring a unique level of expertise to pet care. I am currently a full time pet sitter. And love every minute of this! Am available 7 days a week and often at short notice. I know how life can get for folks. i have a partially fenced in yard and reside in Beach Haven West on the water. I supervise any pets that are in my yard at all times. Never left alone. I am reliable, responsible and will move mountains for your pet if necessary.
“Cindy was so responsive, and willing to watch my dog a bit last minute. She sent great updates throughout the day, and Jax left a very happy guy! Cindy is great about taking the em dogs on walks, and not just keeping them cooped up all day. I will 100% use Cindy again, and I would recommend her to any family or friends!”


“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!”

“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.”

About: I have been a dog/cat owner since I was two years old and there is no pet I do not love. I have owned German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Mixed breeds, a Papillion, a Great Dane as well as a Himalayan and an Orange Tabby cat. I am able to spend a lot of time with any age pet and treat them as if they’re my own. Being disabled I’m home a lot. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog would be free to run and play. I use a walker. My home has an elevator. Therefore, it is not a problem to let them out frequently. Just let me know what your dog loves and I will make sure they have the best time possible! I do not work. I am disabled. Therefore I’m home a whole lot, probably too much. This enables me to spend quality time with your pet. I have a fenced in backyard. I do not have any dogs or cats of my own. Therefore, I am able to devote all my time and attention to your loved one.
“Louie had a great time on his first visit to Danielle's! Danielle was responsive, accommodating, super friendly and very kind. Would and will use Danielle's services again!”

“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.”

About: I am totally PAWS ON as I find every dog is unique and has specific needs. As a dog lover for life, I am experienced from puppy to senior, and you can rely on me to take optimal care of your dog. I love to walk, hike, run or take a lazy stroll for the elder ones. I work from home and enjoy several walking escapes daily. Having a dog by my side makes it even more enjoyable! Keep your dog fit and fabulous, call me! I keep dogs leashed unless yard is fenced, provide plenty of playtime, will take long or short walks by request, refill water bowl, feeding, medicine if required.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised. I have a small fenced-in yard and an older Havanese who loves to snuggle and gently play, which creates a calm and welcoming environment in my home. I live in a quiet townhouse development with easy access to safe walking paths, so daily walks and outdoor time are always part of the routine. At clients’ homes, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain walk and play routines, administer medications if needed, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you feel connected and confident while you’re away.
About: Have owned up to 3 dogs over the course of 15 years. Have used Rover as a customer and now providing my own services. I love taking care of dogs. I have a large yard and a great neighborhood for walks. Looking forward to providing your dog the love it needs while you are gone. Currently I have a 45lb labradoodle who loves to have play dates and meet other furry friends. I work from home and will be here all day with your pet. I will be able to play and walk your dog through out the day. Our labradoodle is very playful and friendly. Our house has plenty of space for the dogs to run around and burn off all that energy.
About: I absolutely love all animals and wish that i could have them all!! You will not regret giving me the opportunity to watch your amazing animals. I will love and care for them like no other sitter can. I would be honored to be able to connect with your pets and start to form relationships with them. Like i said i absolutely love animals and i would be the perfect fit to help you feel more comfortable about leaving your furry family members in the care of someone else. I want you to feel like your pet is welcomed into my home and you are welcomed as well not just the pets. Thank you for taking the time to read my reasonings behind wanting to love your animals. I’m at Stay at home mom so i have an open schedule to come take care of your fur babies any day of the week i have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. A lab and a pompom. They love getting to know new friends and i love introducing them
