“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.”
“Kelley was great. Mabel had a great stay with her. Kelley was attentive and gave me updates and was very respectful. We plan to use her again next time we're in the area.”
“Norman had an absolutely fabulous time with Mariah! He was well-cared-for, played with, and loved just as if he was at home! Thank you Mariah and to all the new friends that Norman made in your home!”
“Victoria was fantastic! Our dog had a wonderful time, as evidenced by the thoughtful photos she provided throughout his stay! Thank you for the great care that you provided, Victoria!”
“Thanks again for taking such good care of our sweet little Presley! Our minds are completely at ease when we leave her in your kind and capable hands! Rudy& Beverly Meyers”
About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here :) I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years professionally, and it’s something I genuinely love doing. Even while working full-time, I’ve always made time for pets because being around animals is where I’m happiest. At home, I share my life with five cats and two dogs, a snake, a bunny, and also my husband and daughter, so I truly understand that our pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your companion is playful, shy, energetic, or a senior who just wants a quiet cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also really excited to share that I’m now starting to branch out and turn this passion into my full-time career because caring for all animals is such a passion. My goal is simple: to give you total peace of mind knowing your pet is getting the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family and be someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand. My goal is to build long-term relationships with local families so your pets always have a familiar face they know and trust. Pet care for my own pets and yours is the primary focus of my days! I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, plenty of affection and cuddles. If your pet enjoys walks, games, or simply relaxing on the couch with a companion, I'm happy to match their energy and preferences. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering most medications when needed, and caring for senior pets or those who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own, and I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“James took such good care of my weim boy! My boy isn’t always the easiest dog to handle, and he can be high maintenance, and James made it seem like he was a breeze! Quickly Responsive, followed any/all care instructions. So happy to have peace of mind knowing my dog is well taken care of when he is there.”
“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!”

“Kirk immediately put me at ease about leaving my somewhat spoiled, always supervised , many food/ environmental allergies 9yo male pekinese. It’s necessary to watch he only gets the food and treats provided and allergy med twice a day. I feel that’s a tall order, but Kirk and Anita were wonderful. Sent update pictures so I knew he was fine and they treated like their own family pet. Can’t thank them enough. And recommend using them 100%. Kirk had me come over once to meet him so he could show me the layout ,explain what to expect ,and meet his own dogs To see how your dog reacts.”
“Lisa was wonderful with my Peppy! Snuggles, car ride, art work, and plenty of love by the family! Lisa really is awesome and very easy going to deal with. Your pet would be privileged and spoiled to be in her care :) Thanks again!!!”
“Marci and her family took such great care of our dog, Lulu. We could tell from the first moment that they would provide so much love and attention. Their big backyard was perfect for Lulu to run and play, and she also got lots of snuggles inside. We received pictures and updates each day. You will have peace of mind knowing that your dog is happy and in great hands!”
“Ashlee was amazing with our poodle. I had a wedding in Avalon and she watched our dog and took such good care of her. Our poodle loved her stay and her 2 Yorkies. She sent pics and updates on Reina during her stay. She's wonderful!!!!!!!!”

If necessary, I'll also bring in mail, adjust curtains, and perform other tasks to give the appearance that your home is occupied.

“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!!”

“Kelley was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible, communicated with us proactively and throughout Kal’s stay, and took fantastic care of him.

We will happily book with Kelley again the next time we go down the shore.”

She was communicative, reliable, and it was so clear how much she genuinely cared for him — she sent updates that put our minds completely at ease while we were away. Kyzer was happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for the whole time. We came back to a dog who was clearly having a great time with her. Highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like their own. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“We needed a sitter for a few hours while visiting Wildwood, and Alexa was great. Super accommodating with our last minute changes in schedules, which facilitaed our planes a lot since we were comming from out of town. Most importantly, Roco went with her without a doubt and came back happy. Not anxious,and saying good bye to her in a loving way. And that for us is the best sign that he was in good care.”
“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!”
“Our Bichon, Jeffrey walked into Denise's home and didn't even say goodbye! He felt completely at home! The backyard is completely fenced in and just so charming! We got pictures of Jeffrey relaxing and napping while we were out. We didn't worry about him at all!”
“My dog Link had a wonderful stay! He's young and a little anxious, but Kateri made him feel comfortable and gave him so much love that he was able to have so much fun! She'll take great care of your pet and is attentive to all their needs!”
“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.”
“Great Care! Marci was fantastic and she even made my dog a personalized Bandana. My dog was well cared for and got enough exercise in her yard she slept the whole way home. Highly Recommend!”
“I cannot thank you enough for providing such kind, gentle, and attentive care to our puppy while we were away. Puppies can be a handful, but you made her feel right at home with lots of treats (including your own!), plenty of playtime, and a large dose of patience and understanding. Your extensive experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments really showed. She was so relaxed and happy when we returned. Thank you also for sending frequent (hourly!) updates with photos. We felt completely at ease while she was in your care. We would be thrilled to work with you again and enthusiastically recommend you to others.”

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’ve taken care of my own dog and others for several years now. I always approach them with care and make sure all of there needs are met! I am currently not working and am using this for whenever there are available opportunities! My schedule is very flexible so I work throughout the week. I can easily crate your dog if needed and my family loves all dogs so we would take good care of our guest of honor!
About: I treat all animals like family, because they are! Your animals will be in the best care with me! Hi, my name is Jamie! I have owned pets my whole life and feel confident that I can help you feel relief when needing someone to care for them! I am a special ed elementary teacher and I can provide care for your pets before or after school, weekends, and all summer long! Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby!! I am a teacher which allows me to have all summer to care for your pets! Along with before or after school walk and weekends! At my own home I have a fenced in yard that allows for us to play outside comfortably without any other outside distractions! I have a dog of my own but she goes back and forth between my house and my parents so I can allow for comfortable care without another dog at my house. I do have 2 cats as well!
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.

“Kelley was great. Mabel had a great stay with her. Kelley was attentive and gave me updates and was very respectful. We plan to use her again next time we're in the area.”
About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here :) I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years professionally, and it’s something I genuinely love doing. Even while working full-time, I’ve always made time for pets because being around animals is where I’m happiest. At home, I share my life with five cats and two dogs, a snake, a bunny, and also my husband and daughter, so I truly understand that our pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your companion is playful, shy, energetic, or a senior who just wants a quiet cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also really excited to share that I’m now starting to branch out and turn this passion into my full-time career because caring for all animals is such a passion. My goal is simple: to give you total peace of mind knowing your pet is getting the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family and be someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand. My goal is to build long-term relationships with local families so your pets always have a familiar face they know and trust. Pet care for my own pets and yours is the primary focus of my days! I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, plenty of affection and cuddles. If your pet enjoys walks, games, or simply relaxing on the couch with a companion, I'm happy to match their energy and preferences. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering most medications when needed, and caring for senior pets or those who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own, and I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“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.”
“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.”
“Lisa was wonderful with my Peppy! Snuggles, car ride, art work, and plenty of love by the family! Lisa really is awesome and very easy going to deal with. Your pet would be privileged and spoiled to be in her care :) Thanks again!!!”
“Tyler was great! We booked his services last minute, and he was flexible and accommodating. Thank you for taking such good care of Benji and for the cute pictures.”
“We were nervous to drop our 12 yr old dog with a sitter, but Kate eased our minds immediately by sending us frequent photos and updates over the 4 days we were away. We will definitely use Kate’s services again!!”
“Kateri was absolutely fantastic for our dog penny! She took wonderful care of her, and sent daily photos and videos, which i really appreciated, because penny is my baby and best friend and love of my life, lol. Penny was sad to leave!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Patricia was awesome! She kept me updated on my Chloe throughout the day. Chloe seemed happy and well entertained with Patricia. Thank you for taking such good care of Chloe for the weekend 💕”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats and fish. I’ve cared for lizards and small furry friends as well. I will always stop to pet a dog and I’ve had animals come up to me out in the wild on multiple occasions. Although I currently do not have a pet, I love sitting for my friends. I’ve cared for all size and age of dog from a few months to 16 years. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Im currently off for the summer but teaching summer school for the month of July. My schedule is pretty open and much if what I do have scheduled is flexible. Although I live in an apartment, my complex is extremely pet friendly with 4 dog parks and a full walking loop with poop bags around the entire property.
“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!”
“You couldn’t find a more attentive sitter than Jared! My dog was very well cared for (spoiled) as the only pet in his home. Jared sent many photos of our dog with him, even at the driving range! My dog was probably a little sad when I picked him up. I will definitely use Jared whenever I need a sitter!”
“Andrew was absolutely perfect. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge about dogs and their care and behaviour. He checked in regularly and made us feel completely at ease with his care for our dog Hank. He truly cared for Hank as if he were a part of his family and we are so grateful that we got connected with him. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone for the care of their animals.”
“It was more than a year since we had to board our dog. Jan was great and accommodated a different pick up time. We love that she has a fenced-in yard and limits the number of dogs boarding. We would definitely book with Jan again and would recommend to others.”
