“Corrine is amazing! Joey had a great time with her and his furry friends while we were away. It is the 1st time we left Joey with anyone and would not hesitate to bring him back to Corrine.”
“Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.”
“Jennifer was amazing!!!! Sent lots of photos of Milo with his new friends! He had the best time with her two pups as well he slept as soon as he got home I know he was playing all day long! 100% will book again.”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“Very appreciative to have taken my pup last minute when I flew home for a wedding. Was great with my pup and he loved playing with her kiddos. Thankful that she was able to give him his medications when asked. Thank you so much, definitely would recommend and use again when back in the area!!”
“Avigail was great with our dogs and they loved staying with her! She sent us pics throughout the day and kept us posted about everything. They came back home so tired from all the playing 😂 Definitely recommend her :)”
“This was the first time my husband and I left Lindi for a week and we are so grateful she was with Tom. He sent us pictures and updates and really eased our minds. He is truly a dog lover and we couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Gwen is amazing! I felt she displayed the confidence in handling our 90lb Rhodesian Ridgeback from the moment we met- She properly and confidently introduced her dog to Ffion in a calm, controlled manner. She truly understands a dogs mindset and immediately connected with Ffion- she is a dog lover through and through! She welcomed Ffion as if she was part of their family and I felt that our dog would be safe, loved, and more than cared for on her overnight stay. A beautiful fenced in yard, a warm and kind family who also clearly loves dogs, organized (with her instructions printed) and clean + comfy environment. I look forward to booking with Gwen in the near future and we are so happy that we found her! Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Matt for an overnight for our dog Gino. Gino had the absolute best time! Not only did Matt send us updates and pics which made us feel so comfortable and happy knowing he was having fun, Gino loved Matt’s dogs Jax and Henry. (And so do we!) We are so lucky to have found Matt! Thank you for taking such good care of Gino! See you next week!”
About: I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of dogs . My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends dogs as well. I am a teacher by day. Dog lover the rest of the time. Summers off - makes me available to care for your pups in your home or mine . I love long walks, cuddles and playtime with furry friends in my home or yours. Whatever makes your pet happy can be attained through thoughtful and caring communication.
“Danielle I couldn’t say enough great things about her! She really took Amigo in as another part of her family and he did so great there! I loved getting the updates and photos everyday. And she helped me last minute! And right after the holidays! I will absolutely use her again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a teenager and now care for my one senior dog and one mid aged dog as well . I am currently a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for play and two loving older dogs of my own who love to relax, sun bathe on the deck and sleep all day. We also love to spend time at night cuddling with our guys on the couch!
“Christine was great! Love getting updates of how our dogs were doing throughout their stay. They loved playing with her family and the other dogs they had staying with them. When I got there to get them she had everything cleaned and ready to go for me. Highly recommend!”
“Kai LOVES being with Crystal and her kids! They give him a lot of love and attention. He has stayed with them a few times and Crystal will always be my first choice whenever I need a sitter for Kai.”
About: I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy with personalized routines, play time and plenty of love while you’re away. 15+ years of experience of pet sitting/pet owner. I have assisted in whelping puppies and care for my own dog with multiple health issues. I work a typical 8:30-4:30 job in the Ocean and Monmouth county area. But I am flexible with work from home, or traveling for drop in visits. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running, frolicking and playing. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and schedules all while providing endless love! I am comfortable with administering medication if necessary.
“Patti stepped in to care for Destiny, as our regular sitter wasn't available when we needed the time away. She was fantastic! Although Destiny was homesick for us, she seemed to be in extremely capable hands with Patti. We loved the photos she shared with us and within one day really got a feeling of who our dog was... After back home , although thrilled to be back with us, think she also kinda missed her temporary placement with Patti. Would definitely recommend her!”

Nicole was great. I was so worried leaving my girls with someone they didn’t know but she put my mind at ease as soon as I walked into her house and her daughter started playing with them. She was very easy to work with and I loved getting all the photos. I would definitely use her again and recommend her.

We are so lucky to have found Matt! Thank you for taking such good care of Gino! See you next week!
I had such a great experience leaving my dog with Laura & Carmine while I was away for the weekend. My dog has separation anxiety and some behavior quirks, so finding the right sitters can be tough—but they were incredibly understanding, sweet, and welcoming. He was clearly well cared for, had fun, and most importantly, felt safe and relaxed in their home. I would absolutely recommend them to other pet owners and hope to book with them again in the future!
