“Carlie and her husband were an excellent pet sitters for our Jack Russell dog. They were very caring, reliable and accommodating to our schedule. We traveled from New York and be were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet because she was in good hands.”
“Sylvia was great with Tazzy. She was very thorough on our initial meet and great, and had her notes ready when we brought Tazzy for her weekend getaway. We felt very comfortable leaving her in good hands.”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
“I found Kelly in a moment of desperation when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby. Not only was she quick to respond but also came to meet my recent rescue before hand. I had never used a River sitter before and after meeting her in person and learning about her vet tech background I was confident she would take great care of my girl. She sent me daily pictures and updates and took excellent care of Zoya for me while I was away. I will 100% be booking her again!”
“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”
“Maria was absolutely fantastic with our dog during our week‑long vacation near Fenwick Island. She treated our pup like her own — daily walks, tons of attention, and consistent updates with pictures every day. Her home was spotless, and the fenced‑in backyard was perfect for safe outdoor time. Communication was top‑tier from start to finish. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for truly exceptional care.”
“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”

“Robert was fantastic with Gracie. He sent pics and updates several times a day. She came home exhausted so I know she was played with A LOT while she was with him. He truly loves dogs, I highly recommend him!”
“Margit & Bill were fantastic with our girl. We got regular updates and photos throughout the stay. Our Italian Greyhound finally got to hangout with a full size Greyhound which went great. 10/10 would highly recommend”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our 11 year old Chihuahua with Kathy. This was the first time we left Tootsie with someone after having her 2 years. Tootsie has a bad back and seizure medication to take. Kathy was very careful to listen to all our concerns. She updated us twice daily with a lovely note about her day and a picture. We knew she was in great hands and we enjoyed our week with no worries. Tootsie had a wonderful time and had all her needs met. She had multiple walks a day and lots of attention. I highly recommend Kathy without any hesitation!”
“Daisy loved being with Michele! Daisy loves being the center of attention. She got to walk and play and share her love. Michele is a great communicator and we were happy to get little notes assuring us that Daisy cared for with care and joy! Thank you Michele! Amy & Dan”
“Debbie (and Tim) were so welcoming to our Jackson during a family beach trip. We were in need of sitting and boarding for a week and were lucky to have found them. They were easy to communicate and coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. We even got a great tip from them to visit a local preserve with walking trails for Jackson (and kayaking on the Bay for our kids). Most importantly, Jackson had a great time with both of them. He didn't even want to leave 😂! Thanks for making his stay so wonderful and look forward to coming back on a future trip!”
“Cheko had another great visit with Jenna. They played at the park and had a wonderful together to the point that he has pretty much slept since I brought him home.”
“Neena and her family did an amazing job welcoming my dog , Rosie into her home . Neena kept me informed about her stay and I felt totally at ease having her there . She was totally professional all the way . So happy to have found her to care for my dog when I was away .”
“Kelly was great. This was Murphy’s first time staying with Kelly and he settled in very quickly. She sent lots of updates and photos which helped to know he was doing well in a new place. Kelly was very flexible and accommodating when we had to shift pick up and drop off times a bit. She offered to pick Murphy up and drop him off since we were so close. I definitely plan to use Kelly’s services again.”
“Leaving our dog, Mazie with Sandee gives us total peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us multiple updates and photos daily. It is comforting to see how happy and relaxed Mazie is in her care. We always return to a happy, healthy dog and feel completely confident that everything is taken care of. We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”

“Kasey was absolutely wonderful with our cats! This was a follow-up booking and once again she exceeded our expectations. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about our pets. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean, well-kept home. It’s such a relief knowing we can travel and fully trust that our cats are in great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kasey again - highly recommend!”
“Exceptional Care for Two Special-Needs Cats Jennifer provided outstanding care for our two cats during a three-day trip, and we couldn’t be more grateful. One of our cats is diabetic and requires glucose monitoring along with insulin injections twice daily. Our other cat has chronic kidney disease, so careful observation of food and water intake, litter box habits, and overall behavior is extremely important. Jennifer handled every aspect of their care with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine compassion. She kept us informed with regular updates, closely monitored both cats, and quickly noticed even subtle changes in their routines and behaviors. It was clear that she treated our pets as if they were her own. Knowing that our diabetic cat was receiving accurate glucose readings and insulin injections on schedule gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Caring for senior cats with medical needs requires experience, reliability, and dedication, and Jennifer exceeded our expectations in every way. We returned home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for cats. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter, especially for pets with medical conditions. We will absolutely be booking with her again. — Valerie & Family 🐾”
About: We are a household of animal lovers! Both my husband and I have had dogs and cats all of our lives, even spent time training dogs to be good citizens and therapy dogs. We currently have four dogs and two kids. All of our dogs are rescues. They are super lovable and playful. We also volunteer for a beagle rescue and foster dogs. Your pets will get lots of snuggles and playtime when we watch and walk them. For visits and walks, your pup will love the snuggles and time spent playing and walking your area (or even going for a car ride or to a walking trail or dog park). For cat visits, we will give playtime indoors. We have helped many family members and friends with pet care when they are away. We have experience in all diets, giving oral meds and senior dog care. We hope that you will give our services a try. I am self employed and work from home. Typically available for mid day let out/walk. If your pet stays with us we have a great yard for play and we do multiple walks a day. We regularly foster dogs so our dogs are very comfortable with other dogs visiting. We treat any dog that stays with us or that we visit just like our own. We provide a loving, fun place for your pet while you are away.
About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! I absolutely love long dog walks and spending time with furry friends. I have 4 years of previous professional experience where I was responsible to care for animals that were boarding at a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable with pups of all ages and sizes, and I can give medication if needed. Whether you’re on vacation or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make pet care easy. I primarily work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm able to arrange my schedule so that I can care for your pets when they need me most! I know being away from your pet can be stressful for the both of you. Detailed feeding/walking instructions are greatly appreciated so I can stick to your pet's routine as much as possible.
About: I rescued my first cat when I was 3 years old. My neighbors actually found her in the woods and knew from frequent conversations that I'd been praying to God that he'd give me a kitty. Sure enough, he provided. I got to love that cat for 17 years before she passed. In that timeframe i rescued several other cats too! Having owned five cats myself, I am very familiar with different temperaments and can provide a unique experience for any feline friend as needed.
About: I currently have three very different cats—one older and feisty, one who prefers people over pets, and one who’s a total snuggler—so I’m comfortable handling all types of feline personalities. I’ve also given medication, cleaned ears, and trimmed claws, so I’m confident with basic care needs. Whether your cat wants attention, space, or structure, I always meet them where they are and keep their routine calm and consistent.
“Sandy was a fantastic caregiver for our "old man" cat. He took to her immediately (not typical of him) and was well cared for. Sandy was prompt with daily check-ins and gave us feedback and photos at every visit. We cane home to a calm and happy kitty. Sandy is definitely a pet person and we highly recommend her!”
“Shane did an amazing job taking care of my house and cat while I traveled! Reuben was happy and tended to, and Shane sent lots of pictures and updates. He was very communicative and responsible. I trust Shane and would recommend him any time!”

“I was in town to work the Annapolis Sailboat show and Hutch spent 4 days with Jenna. She sent pics and reports and I really felt Hutch was in good hands ! I plan To book her next year !”
About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely with only an occasional in-office day (about once a quarter), so I’m home most of the day. I only leave briefly for the gym or occasional errands, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like family and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular photo updates for owners. My friendly, fully vaccinated dog enjoys having canine visitors, and introductions are always done safely.
“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I’m very aware of the care they need and I’m very passionate about keeping my pets happy. Right now I have 2 chihuahuas and a cat who I love unconditionally. In my free time I volunteer as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help those pets who are not as fortunate to be in a loving home. I would love to help keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. I’ve learned a lot through my work at the animal shelter on how to work with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Keeping pets feeling happy and loved will always be a big goal of mine because they deserve a good life. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to take care of your dog or cat during the week! I currently have my own cat and he is very friendly towards all other animals including dogs of all sizes and ages that’s he’s met
About: I have had several dogs in my life through their entire life span. I recently lost my soul dog. Not ready to get another but because they bring me so much joy, I would love to take care of others. I have the time because I am retired. I also know the feeling of worrying that they are in the best care! I can assure you that they will be! I am retired for the most part. I teach yoga a few hours a week but I have plenty of time. I can take your dog for several walks, AM or PM. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a very long leash to allow freedom in the yard. I also live in a great neighborhood with lots of dogs. My dog recently passed but we used to take lots of daily walks and had lots of interactions.
“Margit and Bill are the best!! They went on bike rides with my active dog and treated her so well! They are very kind and great communicators. They loved my dog so well and went above and beyond in every way. I definitely recommend them!”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic in taking care of our dog Benni!! She was very responsive, provided awesome updates & it was clear to us when we picked Benni up, that he had a wonderful time in her care!! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy & responsive fellow pet lover to care for your fur baby!! She was great from start to finish & we will definitely utilize her in the future trips to the beach. Thanks so much Megan!”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
“She did amazing with our little pupper. We were nervous because this was our first time away from him, however he felt right at home — even took him on several beach adventures. She put our mind at ease and sent several pictures of him enjoying lots of cuddles and love from Joanna. Would definitely use her again if we were to come back to Atlantic City.”
“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Martha was the best sitter for my dog that I could want. She let me and my dog, Parker, preview her place to see if we were compatible. She sent updates and pics showing how Parker was doing, and kept in touch. Parker came back calm and refreshed. A great experience I’d highly recommend.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
About: I know from experience what a challenge it is to find loving care for a family pet while you are away. I’m happy to provide that peace of mind for you. I’m currently retired and looking forward to filling my days with new animal friends, while getting a little exercise and helping my neighbors with their pet care needs. I currently have a beautiful black cat who likes to be queen of the castle so I’m happy to care for your pets in your home.

About: I love animals and I have experience owning and caring for dogs and cats of any age! I worked at a cat cafe for a year and have a cat of my own, so I am used to being around animals all the time and taking care of them. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I am unemployed so I am available anytime. However, please try to request my services at least a few days in advance so I can plan my schedule accordingly. I will always treat your pet with the love, care, and respect I give my own animal and ensure that they feel safe and comfortable in my care.
“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”
“Highly recommend! We used Susan for 2 straight weeks to provide an extra walk for our golden retriever while my parents were watching her (we were away on vacation). Her communication was wonderful and put us at ease. Will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I currently have three cats and a puppy of my own. I’ve also had senior pets and pets with medical needs, so I’m completely comfortable giving medication and paying attention to signs of stress or discomfort. As a former elementary school teacher, I bring a calm, patient, and dependable approach to every visit. I always make sure pets feel safe, understood, and cared for—whether that means playtime, gentle company, or simply sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make each visit stress-free for both you and your pet. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cat care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I don’t currently offer overnights or boarding, I’m able to stop by multiple times a day as needed. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I stick to your normal feeding, walking, and play routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure water and litter boxes are fresh. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to give extra cuddles to the social ones. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I give my own.
“I needed someone to walk and feed my very energetic dog on short notice. Dave was very responsive, communicated well, and sent photos. I was worried my dog might be stressed being left alone all day, but when I returned, he seemed great! I would definitely recommend Dave and will use him again.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Tiff — a lifelong dog lover with a 5-year-old Golden Doodle of my own and a childhood full of German Shepherds.

About: I’m reliable and loving. I’d love to be connected with your fur babies. Any age is fine with me. I have a puppy and a senior.

But I can spend the day .

“Sandy was reliable and trustworthy. We used her to walk our dog for a week. Our dog was very happy and worn out each day after playing with Sandy! Sandy obviously loves dogs and we will definitely use her again!”

“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”
“Robert was fantastic with Gracie. He sent pics and updates several times a day. She came home exhausted so I know she was played with A LOT while she was with him. He truly loves dogs, I highly recommend him!”
“Debbie (and Tim) were so welcoming to our Jackson during a family beach trip. We were in need of sitting and boarding for a week and were lucky to have found them. They were easy to communicate and coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. We even got a great tip from them to visit a local preserve with walking trails for Jackson (and kayaking on the Bay for our kids). Most importantly, Jackson had a great time with both of them. He didn't even want to leave 😂! Thanks for making his stay so wonderful and look forward to coming back on a future trip!”
“Cheko had another great visit with Jenna. They played at the park and had a wonderful together to the point that he has pretty much slept since I brought him home.”
“Neena and her family did an amazing job welcoming my dog , Rosie into her home . Neena kept me informed about her stay and I felt totally at ease having her there . She was totally professional all the way . So happy to have found her to care for my dog when I was away .”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Jacqueline was very accommodating. Dexter really enjoyed his stay. He made. Himself right at home?. I would definitely recommend. I will use her service again A++”
“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”
“Hands down one of the best sitters out there-period! Not only did Samantha agree to board my two dogs on short notice, she went above and beyond to care for one of them who unexpectedly obtained additional medical needs the night before my travel. What could have been an incredibly stressful (or non-existent) trip became one of the most stress-free trips due to Samantha’s care. I received daily updates (with photos/video) and I’ve never seen my dogs so happy away from home. She’s got a spacious fenced-in yard and a well-maintained area for the dogs to play and stay. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for Samantha’s care. Book her now-you won’t find anyone better!”
“Christina and her family were great! We had to find a last minute sitter for our dog, Charlie, who we had never left with anyone but family before. We were nervous to leave her with someone we’d never met, but Christina eased all of our fears. We received multiple pictures every day of Char having a blast. She clearly had a great time when we picked and we would definitely have her stay with Christina again!”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“McCray was great, will definitely use him in the future to care for my girl. She’s very sensitive, she does not like being away from her home. Well, we arrive at McCrays home for the 1st time ever, Rita jumps out the car and runs to the door, like she knows where she’s going! And when we returned after our trip to collect her, so excited to see our girl, she stared out the back window of the car as we drove away and she’s been moping around the house ever since we got home! Thanks McCray!”
