“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.”
“A day before I was due to leave for a weekend trip to NY I found myself still struggling to figure out arrangements for my 5-year-old chipoo, Dixie. I've never left her overnight with anyone before - only for a few hours here and there with family members. Dixie and I both suffer from separation anxiety (from one another haha) and I began searching online not thinking that I would ever find someone good enough to watch my little girl. When I came across Anita and Kirk, I knew instantly that they shared the same love for dogs as I. Dixie and I went to visit and check things out early the next morning and what amazed me most about Kirk and Anita was their attention and dedication to each animal and their specific needs. My specific need was that my little girl would be able to sleep in bed just as she does at home. Whatever your dog is used to at home, they will replicate it! From the pictures and videos that I received for the two days that I was away, I was able to tell that my baby was being spoiled on the Furry Farm just as much as she is at home. They made sure Dixie was comfortable and they reassured me that she was safe and well taken care of. They are definitely one of a kind and I doubt that I'd ever be able to find that level of treatment, care, attention, and affection with anyone else. I would recommend them over and over again and will certainly be using their services again when needed. I could tell that Dixie was enjoying her stay from the smiles in her pictures and I think that it was a growing experience for both of us and our separation anxiety! Thank you Kirk and Anita!”
“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“Kelley took great care of our pup while we were away. She reached out frequently with updates and was quick to respond to our interactions as well. It was nice to know he was safe and well cared for.”
“Mariah is the number one choice as caretaker for my pup! This was my first time using Rover, and I was astonished by how well that my pup did. Mariah is authentic, caring, and sincerely knows how to relate to animals in a way that makes them feel like the most valuable little being in the world. After searching boarding options for weeks, I almost gave up because I did not want to leave my puppy in a kennel or dog hotel. I am so grateful that someone referred me to Rover, and that Mariah was in the area! I hope that more caretakers can be like her, because every dog would feel better after staying with someone like Mariah! She communicated wonderfully, her other dogs got along great with my own, and her family unit was nurturing to my puppy. I will definitely book with Mariah again, and highly recommend her to anyone needing a caretaker for their animal!! :)”
“I am so pleased that I found a sitter to watch our senior dog, Bella. She treated Bella like her own.Denise sent us photos and daily updates, which made us feel comfortable that Bella was in good hands. I will definitely use Denise in the future!”
“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!”
“We were very comfortable with leaving our rescue dog with Jenny for a 3 night stay. We met with a couple weeks prior and our dog felt comfortable enough with her that she wanted to stay with her that day. When we brought our baby back for her stay she was very excited to see Jenny again which was very comforting for us!”
“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!”
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.
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”

“Cassie was absolutely so great with my cats Pib & Poe while I was away for the weekend! After a lot of commotion of my home being renovated and then having a trip away my cats were definitely confused as to what was going on lol! Cassie was so communicative and helpful and really put my mind at ease completely while I was gone. Cassie was super prompt, easy to talk to, and honestly fun to communicate with about the silly habits cats have lol!! I will definitely be booking with Cassie again during my next trip away. Thank you so much for taking care of my girls😊”
“Marissa was communicative and careful. She made my dogs feel safe and happy while I was away. She was flexible and made the process easy for us! Highly recommend and look forward to working together again.”
About: *** I am available to book clients in the area surrounding Ocean City, NJ*** What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my experience, genuine passion for animals, and skills that cater to both ends of the age spectrum.

I'll have your contact information, your veterinarian's details, and a plan in place to address any unexpected situations that may arise. Safety and Security: I'll ensure that your home is secure during my visits. Doors and windows will be properly closed and locked. If necessary, I'll also bring in mail, adjust curtains, and perform other tasks to give the appearance that your home is occupied. Initial Consultation: Before the pet-sitting period begins, I'll meet with you and your pet (in person or virtually) to discuss your pet's routine, medical needs, and any specific requirements they may have. Ultimately, I treat your pet as if they were my own, offering the same love, care, and attention I would want for my furry companions. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my primary concerns throughout my time caring for them in your home.
“FABULOUS caretaker! She made sure to send pictures of each of my 5 cats every day, had experience with the Sphynx breed herself, and went well above and beyond for us. My animals get fed a raw diet and due to a mix-up, 50+ pounds of meat got delivered while I was out of town. She made sure it got inside and in the freezer without even a hesitation! I didn't have to worry about them at all with Erin, and that itself was a blessing!”

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: Hi I’m Victoria! I’ve had dogs and cats all my life growing up, so I understand the responsibilities and care that they need. I have been working with animals the past 4 years , from being a bather at pet smart to working at a doggy daycare, and also the animal shelter! Plus Dog walking and Pet sitting ! I have worked with all dog breeds from bathing them to walking them to dog sitting <3 I am currently working part time so I have a lot of free time for whatever days or nights you may need! Very flexible schedule. Your pets safety and happiness are my main priority. Communication is very important, I will be sure to provide you with pictures and updates while you are away!
About: I am a full time trained veterinary technician at a local animal hospital. I have volunteered in the local shelter for 10 years. I help my mom run her own dog rescue. I am absolutely passionate about animals and helping them and have the medical aspect to help back me. I work 3 days a week and have 4 days completely off. I can come walk, stay the night, medicate and even just hang out with your pet on a schedule that best suits you and your animal. I will not be offering any in home boarding or training. I would be coming to you only. I have leashes and slip leads that work best for me and the safety of your animal.

“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“Kelley took great care of our pup while we were away. She reached out frequently with updates and was quick to respond to our interactions as well. It was nice to know he was safe and well cared for.”
“We were very comfortable with leaving our rescue dog with Jenny for a 3 night stay. We met with a couple weeks prior and our dog felt comfortable enough with her that she wanted to stay with her that day. When we brought our baby back for her stay she was very excited to see Jenny again which was very comforting for us!”
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.
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“At the most opportune moment I had the good fortune to find Katherine and John to take care of Beeto, from his expression I can say that he received a lot of love and care. He certainly had a great time.”
“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.”
“Diana was a wonderful care giver to our dog Gizmo. He is 15 years old and very spoiled. She had great patience as Gizmo has accidents in the house. She sent regular up dates and pictures. I would recommend Diana to everyone who has a fur baby, thank you Diana.”
“Amazing experience. My dog, Lucy, was so loved and cared for. She had a blast. The only downside is she didn’t want to come home and wanted to stay with her new friends. LOL. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Mocha’s stay with Tyler was our first time using the Rover app and we are very grateful it was with him as a host. She seems to have had a good time, and Tyler was very professional, considerate, and caring. It is clear why he has such a strong reputation on the app as a host. Mocha will be happy to be staying with him again soon!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Robin! This was the first time Apollo had ever stayed with someone he didn’t know, so I was understandably nervous about leaving him. From the moment I met Robin, she was kind, caring, and incredibly attentive, and she went above and beyond to make sure Apollo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Robin gave him extra walks, plenty of attention, and lots of playtime, which meant so much to me. She also provided ongoing updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to see that Apollo was doing so well and enjoying himself. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my schedule, even allowing me to arrive later than we had originally discussed. Her kindness, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile truly made this experience stress-free. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their pet. Apollo was in excellent hands, and I would absolutely trust Robin with him 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!”
“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!”
“Kristen and family were amazing. This was the first time Bear stayed with a sitter and he was comfortable and loved the entire time. I actually think he didn’t want to come home! Will definitely be using Kristen for any future sitting ❤️”
“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.”
