Highly-rated overnight sitters - Avalon
“Michael has been amazing, this is the first time we have left Tucker anywhere and we were nervous. Michael has sent us videos to put us at ease I highly recommend him!”
“This was our 1st time using Kelley and it all went well. She has a separate room for the dogs that's fairly large. Also a fenced yard. great communication. Highly recommended!”
“Denise kept great care of our dog Wiley for a very long trip. She went us many photos and Wiley looked like he was well fed and rested. Although Wiley was happy to come home, we get a sense that he wanted to stay for a bit.”
“We are so grateful for Sterlin! She accepted extremely last minute on a holiday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Reggie, during our family beach day trip to Ocean City, NJ. She welcomed us inside right away, introduced Reggie to her other dogs, and helped him acclimate quickly to the new environment. Throughout the day, she sent us thoughtful photo updates of Reggie smiling and playing, which was so reassuring. Her home is also conveniently located just off the exit, making drop-off and pick-up easy. What else can we say—we’ll absolutely be using Sterlin again whenever we’re in town. Thank you, Sterlin!”
“Katie was wonderful sending us updates and was very flexible with drop off and pickup time. Would definitely recommend and rebook next time I’m back to Jersey”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Penny’s stay! From start to finish, she was communicative and kept us updated with regular messages and adorable pictures, so we always knew Penny was in good hands. Penny came back happy, relaxed, and clearly entertained—she even seemed to have had her own little vacation! We’re so grateful for the care and attention Penny received and highly recommend Janet’s services to any pet parent. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Kate was wonderful! She kept us updated with photos of Scally while she was there and our dog looked like she was having a great time at her home and on their beach walks. Kate was very accommodating as we wanted to take our dog with us during part of the day and she was easy to work with to coordinate timing on when we would pick up and drop off our dog. Thanks so much Kate!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“I have spent a lot time searching Rover trying to find the best place to send my 8 yr old vizsla, Tasha, while I travel and I am extremely happy that I chose Kirk & Anita. They were very responsive, so I was able to schedule a meet & greet right away. Their property/home is well maintained (gorgeous!) and very spacious. Kirk is excellent at letting you get acclimated to the property before introducing his own dogs to your pup. The entire meet & greet was extremely pleasant and you leave knowing that your dog will be in good hands. Tasha just spent 2 nights with Kirk & Anita and I received updates/pictures throughout her visit which was great since it was her first time staying overnight. I picked up a happy, great smelling (complimentary bath), exhausted pup (lots of play and walks) along with a surprise tote bag - complete with treats - to use when she goes back and forth from her visits there. It's the little things!! I’ve used a lot of sitters and dog daycares over the years and this experience was absolutely wonderful. Schedule a meet and greet – you won’t be disappointed!”
“This was our first time boarding our senior dog and I could not be happier! I was very worried about boarding him as he can be anxious and shy. The care he received staying with Mariah was beyond outstanding! I received so many updates about my dog and lots of photos. It put us at complete ease during our vacation to see our dog having so much fun. You can tell that Mariah truly loves animals and what she does. I will be using only her when I am in the area!”
“Lori was amazing. I've never left Duke with a sitter outside the family before and she made everything so easy. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent beautiful photos of him. I had another sitter here who canceled juts days before, and Lori not only stepped in close to the date but was especially accommodating for what I needed. Definitely will use her again, and strongly recommend her to others.”
“Kathleen was great with Atreus for our first booking. She sent lots of pictures and was coummicative during his stay. I look forward to booking with her in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“McKenna and Tyler were so awesome with our dog Rhys. Will definitely be using them again. Sent us awesome pictures and kept us up to date with everything. Made drop off and pick up super easy. Look forward to using them again!!!!”
“Jeffrey had such a great time with Pat, we were afraid he might not want to come home! Pat kept us updated with pictures of Jeffrey making himself at home! We were able to leave for two days and one night without one second of worry! Just a wonderful experience for Jeffrey and us!”
About: Ivory Jewels ……i spend my days caring and loving fur babies. We walk, train, and give full attention to our loving pets. They are family I am available to care for you pets with short notice. My schedule allows flexibility as i are semi retired. Your pets are family and friends I have a fenced in yard and will keep your babies engaged in playtime after sleep time. They will be watched the entire visit! Yes
“On meeting Jim and his wife we instantly knew our 12 year old dog would be well cared for. On return from our trip, our dog barely said hello to us, then ran back to Jim. We feel very fortunate to have found Jim and highly recommended him.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.
About: Loving and attentive family with a big fenced in yard and even bigger hearts. We have two rescues that we love and adore and can't wait to welcome your pet to our pack for a mini vacation while you play. Located in a wooded area and convenient to the AC expressway for easy drop off and pick up. Lots of trails behind our home for long shady walks. We are available for your dogs on Friday, after 5pm drop offs and can watch through the weekend with a pick up on Sunday, anytime before 5pm. Our pets are treated like family. We have lots of space, a large fenced in yard and plenty of room for the dogs to remain together or separated if need be.
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”

About: I've owned my beloved food-finicky senior cat for 4 years. I am proud that she has blossomed under my care! Listening to body language and giving space or cuddles when needed was key. Whether your feline wants a friend for life or a servant they can ignore I am on the job!
“Ben was fantastic! He took such great care of our dog Skye over a long weekend, and even went above and beyond to check on our cats too. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and total peace of mind. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking Ben again!”
“Jamie did a fabulous job of taking care of our two kitties Cagney and Charlie while we were on vacation in Disney. She came every day and fed them wet food, refilled their water dishes and cleaned the litter box. I highly recommend her! She’s super cheerful, positive, loves animals, trustworthy and reliable. She sent pictures of the kitties every day while we were gone too. Absolutely loved her and so did our kitties!!”
About: I've raised dogs my entire life! Over the last 5 years, I've started house sitting for family friends for upwards of 3-4 weeks at a time, adding cats, bunnies, and birds to the rotation. Currently until the end of June, I will be working about 4 days a week as a substitute teacher. I'm usually out of the house by 6:30a and home around 3:15p. If it's a day where I don't have a job scheduled, then I'm free :) I am very adaptable, reliable, clean and thoughtful when it comes to caring for clients animals, especially in their homes. I will be cognizant of whatever rules and guidelines you lay out for me to make sure your animal is getting the best care!

About: I have had many pet’s growing up and always love taking care of, playing, and having fun with my dogs.

“Sicilia (Sisi) took excellent care of our super picky, very shy cat, Luna! She was communicative, provided detailed updates, and sent lots of photos. She was extremely patient with our sassy but sweet princess, and made sure Luna had all the things she needed while we were gone. It definitely made us feel more comfortable leaving to know that Luna was in great hands! We will definitely have Sisi back the next time we need someone to watch Luna!”

“Kenzie took great care of our two cats while we were away. Even though they are fearful of new people and did not interact much, Kenzie stayed for the whole time to try and coax them out to say hello. She sent photos every day and did exactly as we asked and then some! Will definitely use Kenzie again when we go out of town.”
“Victoria filled in for my full time dog sitter on short notice. She went out of her way to meet with my dog to prior to booking to make sure they felt comfortable around each other. She is kind, professional and took excellent care of my dog. Great communication, updated me with photos and made sure my house was secure. Highly recommend and hopefully book again when needed.”

“Sally was so great with our corgi puppy Finn. She was always quick to answer, extremely reliable, and competent. I’ve never had someone walk him before so I was very nervous, but she gave Finn so much love, treats, and even a new toy! Above and beyond! Thank you so much Sally!!”
About: I’ve pet-sat for households with both dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable checking in on feline friends, too! I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleanup.

On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals.

I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Avalon
“Our first meeting was the meet and great and I felt comfortable leaving Franco at Kelly's house for day care. Kelly was caring and friendly to our lab. The property has a large fenced in yard for Franco to run around. He had a room with a door, window and mattress which he napped on. Kelly followed instructions and I felt at ease the time I was away from him. Recommend her highly for dog care, and is located near the shore area for vacationing parents. A+ and four ruffs from Franco.”
“Mariah was a perfect host. I felt so safe leaving my puppy with her. Communication was exceptional and she provided videos and pictures to show me what a good time my girl was having throughout her stay. Joni would be more than happy to come here again!”
“Top tier service! This was my first time using this service and I am so elated I ran into Sterlin. She provided constant communication about the activities she was doing with Bear which made me extremely comfortable and relieved. I also think Bear fell in love as well. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet as if they are there own there’s no need to look any further…YOU FOUND HER!”
“Lacey's stay at Mike's home was beyond expectations. This was the first time I left Lacey with a sitter. I was apprehensive albeit comfortable with leaving her in Mikes care. Upon return I found a happy dog that seemed to not want to leave and come home. Good Job! Mike has a new regular customer.”

“Marci and her family were wonderful in looking after Parle! To make us feel comfortable, she even invited us to her house beforehand so we can see her backyard and area where Parle would be spending his time. She provided pictures throughout the day to keep us updated. We feel comfortable with Marci. ??”
“Andrew was a real life saver today. After an unfortunate last minute cancellation from another dog sitter, Andrew took my dog in less than 10 mins and had him almost until 7pm. This allowed my family to spend an extra 6 hours of our last vacation day at the beach and boardwalk. I can’t thank him enough for being so kind and taking care of Blaze so well. I would recommend him and use him again anytime.”

About: I am especially good at training puppy’s and also solving behavioral problems. I have the energy and patience to take dogs on short or long walks. Love exploring local parks so dog can be socialized. The other specialty I have is bird hunting dogs. I had a pure breed Vizsla for 14 years who I trained myself. We traveled to SD,ND and Iowa. I got to appreciate the abilities of what a dog is bred for. I have been retired from FEDs for 15 years and have been the primary care taker for all family pets. I trained my Vizsla to bird hunt. My Boston Terrier is universally a playmate of choice I have a one acre property with an electric fence. It’s pristinely manicured and serves as a great location for dog fun and guided exploration.
About: I trained our family dog a few years ago. I also grew up with dogs, cats and horses on my family’s horse farm. In college, I experienced fostering dogs from the shelter and finding them a new home. I just started a part time 4 day a week job. I want to be able to take care of dogs or house sit in my free time. I will not be offering services where pets will come to my house. I live in a farm but it will just be a lot to have more dogs at my house.
About: My mix of dedication, skills, and athleticism makes me stand out from other sitters. As a collegiate athlete, I bring energy and discipline to my work, ensuring your furry friends get plenty of exercise and attention. I've been raising my dogs since high school, taking care of everything by myself, which has taught me how to handle dogs of all ages and temperaments. Juggling life as a student and athlete has helped me master time management and commitment, which I bring to every dog-walking job. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m here to provide awesome service that goes way beyond just a walk in the park. Since I have a structured daily routine, pet care fits in perfectly as a natural bookend to my day. I am fully available for morning walks and feeding before my commitments begin, and I love spending my evenings dedicating quality time to walks, play, and companionship. During the day, I have predictable windows to check in on guest pets, and my weekends are entirely free and open for longer adventures! When I care for pets at my client's home, I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I follow any specific instructions about diet or medications closely. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean space. I spend quality time with them, giving lots of attention and love and playing with dogs. If I notice anything unusual, I let the owner know right away. My aim is to make sure pets are happy and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I am a wildlife scientist with a passion for all animals. I believe that every animal has their own unique personalities and I love getting to know them.

A lifelong dog owner, wildlife scientist and lover of all animals. I have a flexible schedule and am able to fit your pets needs in day or night. I will always do my best to accommodate to your schedule- I know some things you can never plan for!

It is my goal to make your time away from your pet should be as stress free as possible- I am easy to reach, take lots of pictures and will send updates throughout my time with your animals.

I have done training with dogs from basic obedience up to recreational agility, I am an active person who is more than happy to provide physical and mental energy to your dogs, and I am very educated on mental stimulation/enrichment to help your animals thrive. I do not get squeamish around insects/invertebrates, so I have no problem feeding your animals or taking care of your colonies. If your pet has care needs that aren't standard (or if you are very specific about the way your pet is cared for), leave me a note or step by step in texts. I am more than happy to help you and your pets with any of their care needs. While I do work, I have a flexible schedule that allots me time to work with you and your pets! I am always happy to discuss scheduling with you. In a clients home, I am more than happy to do whatever is necessary to care for the pet. Walks on a routine schedule set by the client, feeding at set times, with several opportunities for play/enrichment as set by the client. I have no issues cleaning litter boxes or handling animal waste. Ensuring that your pets don't have any stressful scheduling changes is one of my top priorities.

I also don't mind sending frequent check ins and I'm guilty of taking to many pictures because they are just so dang cute! Please feel free to contact me anytime, looking forward to hearing from you! I own my own pet transportation company called Angie's Puppy Shuttle. My husband and I have owned dogs out entire life and since we don't have children, our dogs are a willing substitute, we will both be caring for your loved one while they stay with us. They will be welcome to the middle of the bed every night 🤣 Sometimes I am away, traveling cross country to introduce a family to their new puppy. The rest of that time I enjoy doing crafts, playing with the dogs outside and inside, playing pool and making a new snuggle buddy. I have dealt with the escape artist routine and don't want to pose that risk to your pet. We have a backyard with a fence and will remain on a leash no matter what. I just don't feel comfortable trusting them without it. I have a "TWO DOOR POLICY", which just means that if any exterior doors are opened, your pet will either be leashed to go outside before or will be placed in a bedroom behind another door before the exterior door can be opened. Absolutely no chance for an escape artist!
About: Proud Volunteer at Beacon Animal Rescue, and Mew to You. I have experience giving medicine to animals. My passion is to make all animals happy! Open to any animal! I am a student at Atlantic Cape Community College. As I practice my studies, being with and helping animals is something that keeps me going in school and happy. I walk the dog very securely on the leash, while of course picking up the poop on the walk. I do enjoy ball time, tug a war or anything the dog likes. For cats I am a cat owner and am very aware of how to approach and play with them, also very comfortable with litter boxes.

“This was our 1st time using Kelley and it all went well. She has a separate room for the dogs that's fairly large. Also a fenced yard. great communication. Highly recommended!”
“Katie was wonderful sending us updates and was very flexible with drop off and pickup time. Would definitely recommend and rebook next time I’m back to Jersey”
“Tyler took great care of Tucker while we were spending time with family at the shore. Tucker ran around the yard, swam in the pool and hung out with Tyler's dogs. He was certainly tired at the end of his visit. I would recommend Tyler for others who are looking for a reliable and fun dog sitter.”
“Kate was wonderful! She kept us updated with photos of Scally while she was there and our dog looked like she was having a great time at her home and on their beach walks. Kate was very accommodating as we wanted to take our dog with us during part of the day and she was easy to work with to coordinate timing on when we would pick up and drop off our dog. Thanks so much Kate!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Lori was amazing. I've never left Duke with a sitter outside the family before and she made everything so easy. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent beautiful photos of him. I had another sitter here who canceled juts days before, and Lori not only stepped in close to the date but was especially accommodating for what I needed. Definitely will use her again, and strongly recommend her to others.”
“Dara is an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to make sure our furbaby Rambo was fully ready and suited for our wedding day ceremony. Dara and her doggos kept him company and very comfortable in her home throughout the weekend. We received regular photos and updates on Rambo's status and could see he was very happy in her care. He was exhausted after all the playtime fun. We will definitely contact Dara again for our future sitting needs. If you need pet care, call Dara and you will be very happy you did!”
“Our dog Sadie spent almost 3 weeks with Dee and she appeared to really enjoy her time. Dee was great with sending pictures and providing updates. Overall, we were very happy with our experience with Dee. We would recommend her to our friends and family.”
“McKenna and Tyler were so awesome with our dog Rhys. Will definitely be using them again. Sent us awesome pictures and kept us up to date with everything. Made drop off and pick up super easy. Look forward to using them again!!!!”
“Angela was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, she made both Murphy and me feel completely at ease. I usually prefer to give Murphy time to acclimate to a new sitter and environment, but Angela stepped in last minute and made it possible for me to keep my vacation plans. To my surprise, Murphy immediately took to her and her home. Everything went so smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Angela!”
“Andrew was super communicative during our stay and went above and beyond for both our doggies! They are large and can definitely be a handful and he had no problem at all catering to their needs! Will definitely be using again!”
“Jeffrey had such a great time with Pat, we were afraid he might not want to come home! Pat kept us updated with pictures of Jeffrey making himself at home! We were able to leave for two days and one night without one second of worry! Just a wonderful experience for Jeffrey and us!”

“Patricia took very good care of our doggie that boarded with her. We were lucky to find her on a short notice and lucky that we felt immediately reassured that he would be in good hands. An added bonus was her own sweet and happy dog who became a buddy to ours quickly. I recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a home away from home for their canine family members.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.
“Lisa was wonderful with Theo my cat. He responded very well to her gentle, soft spoken, and kind manner. He often slept with her and would make bread while sitting on her lap. She has plenty of space for him to run and play. The thing I'm most grateful for is the fact she doesn't have carpeting. One very unique and creative thing she did was using a small canvas she'd take the colors from his coat and applied them to the canvas and put the canvas in a zip lock bag. Than using Theo's paws would let him create a special piece of artwork. Which she gave to me when I picked him up. She is truly Amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my fur babies with her again.”

We have lots of space, a large fenced in yard and plenty of room for the dogs to remain together or separated if need be.
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“This is the first time we leave our little dog Lila with a dog sitter. We left her for a day and it was a fun day for her. Jada was amazing. She spoiled her and kept us updated with pictures and texts all day long. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so much Jada.”
“Once again Diana has helped sooo much in our quest for dogsitting services as we complete our multi-move until our hone is ready. Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics! I just hope we settle close enough to be able to have her sit more often.”
