“Jenny was amazing! She had a spot available for my pup last minute and was our lifesaver! My Kuma had so much fun playing with Jenny’s dogs and I really appreciated the pictures of playtime.”
“I had been struggling with where to take my dog, Kara Eir, formerly of the Goblin Castle, Protector of Spinner's End, while I was on vacation for a few days in NJ. I contacted a few people, but kept coming back to the Furry Farm. I sent them an email, and Kirk immediately responded explaining how life on the farm works. I don't often leave my dog behind, and all of my nerves were calmed throughout several messages leading up to her stay. I got lots of photos and several videos during her vacation, and she received a bath on pickup day. I hope to book next year's vacation here as well! Thank you guys so much for taking care of my baby!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Very friendly and responsive! Took great care of my Aussie who came back tired out from all the play time. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back for future sitting needs ?”
“Mariah is fabulous with my girls. My girls feel like they’re at home and they have no transition behaviors when I pick them up. I would highly recommend Mariah for taking care of your pets. They will be very well taken care of. Thank you, Mariah for another great stay for my girls!”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“Brooklyn was wonderful to my two dogs. I was in town for business and traveling with my dogs. She took great care of them, played with them all day and made them feel comfortable stopping for the weekend in Delaware. I was traveling from GA to CT and this allowed me to relax would use her again when I return to town.”
“As always, my baby was safe and secure. I’m afraid to say she’s the best because she may never have openings! She really takes your dog and make them hers for the time they are there. My baby ‘Bear’ was a shelter dog so I was extremely worried. Not a problem! She took care of our old man (old Rottie) and after that, I have no hesitations leaving my dog with her. Thanks for caring for my baby like he was your baby!”
“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of my Baxter! It was my first trip away from Baxter. Brooke and her dogs kept him busy and happy. She had a nice big fenced in yard so they could play. She sent pictures and videos as well. I highly recommend Brooke and will be using her again!”
“Kristin always provides updates on our elderly girl, Mya. She gives Mya meds when needed. And she tries hard to find ways to get our picky girl to eat her food. We can relax while Mya is in Kristin’s care know she is a great caretaker!”
“It was a pleasure to have Charles and Heather. They were awesome and they kept us in the loop daily. Khloe was well taken care of. I would recommend them. Thank you all again.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Beth. My two dogs stayed with Beth for 6 nights and took excellent care of them! She sent me a video every day which gave me comfort and reassurance that my dogs were happy and well cared for. They enjoyed the comforts of a home away from home and had no issues while with Beth. I will definitely be using Beth again in the future and HIGHLY recommend using her dog boarding services!”

“Diana always goes above and beyond when caring for Gypsy. He is a senior cat and needed medication and extra care this time while we were away and Diana did a great job.”
“Sharon's service is outstanding. This was the 1st time someone outside of the family has taken care of my fur grand babies and they were happy. She sent videos and pictures of them, washed their beds, gave us report cards and they left with new collars and snacks. My daughter and I am so pleased with her services. I will truly use her again when I travel. What a relief to know they will be in great hands.”
“Melissa E. sat with our three 11 week old kittens while we were out of town for the day. She sent me pictures throughout the day and even crocheted them a toy!!! We will definitely be booking her for our summer vacation!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve had extremely large pets and the daintiest little animals. I am always the person at parties petting whatever animal I can get my hands on. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for a long time and I am always happy to do so. Feeding, walking, play time, and enrichment are all things I love to do and do regularly with my dog. My schedule is pretty open except for the occasional doctors appointment and caring for my dad. I tend to be able to work around any conflicts to help better serve others. I treat all pets as if they’re my own. Safe walks, making sure the ground isn’t too hot, hydration, and some kind of stimulation makes a happy pup. If it is too hot for walking, and depending on what you’re comfortable with, either a walk indoors at a dog friendly store or enrichment in the home, or just playtime on grass can be offered.
About: I have two cats i care for. i have maxi a 18 year old calico that needs assistance in grooming and a special diet. i also have a lazy goofball named snuggles that is a three year old white cat that we found on the side of the road.
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with professional experience working at a dog kennel where I care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience with blind and deaf dogs, as well as diabetic dogs who need insulin shots. I’m confident giving any kind of medication that your dog may need, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve been working with dogs, professionally for just under a year, but I’ve been dog sitting for over four years. I treat every dog like my own, and there will be no shortage of love, patience, and comfort in my care! Pet care is a huge part in my daily life! I work with dogs multiple days a week and outside of work I regularly help friends and family with their dogs. Dog care fits naturally into my daily life and it’s not only just a part of my routine, but something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority! When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own! I always follow the owners instructions closely, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. Communication is key, so i send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority!
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is that I truly understand dogs because I’m a dog parent myself. I currently have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Mini Dachshund, so I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family, and that’s exactly how I care for every dog in my home. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm environment, I make sure they get personalized care and attention. I also understand the importance of routines, updates, and communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi, I’m Moesharlynn or Moe and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently in school for dental assisting. I dog sat over-night for my friend’s dog for a week and I helped take care of my aunts dog, taking him out for walks when they were away. I’m familiar with learning the routines of a new dog and I give communication to the owners—providing updates on the well-being of their pet and any concerns that may arise. If you have an active dog, I would love to run with them as I’m a fan of cardio! I’m currently in school full-time during the weekdays, so being able to dog sit during weekends and afterschool on weekdays works great in my schedule. I’m very flexible for the weekends though. I have a fenced backyard in which dogs can roam freely in. I live across from a park that I can take them on frequent walks to.
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine since I was I little. I have 2 dogs of my own, and I work from home full time. I have experience in medication administration, feeding, bathing, exercise, basic training, and even some basic grooming. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets and even squirrels. I am experienced in rehabilitating rescues, wild and domestic. I can honestly say that I am most happy when spending time with animals. I was an active EMT for 5yrs, and learned animal CPR and first aid along the way. I have references to verify my love for animals and background. I am dedicated and my heart is in the welfare of every animal I encounter. I am open to pet daycare during the day while I work from home with frequent backyard outings for a potty break or a quick game of fetch. Free after 530pm to do walks or drop ins. Open to boarding in my home any night or in the owners home on the weekends/occasionally overlapping into weekdays. I have two lovable dogs who love to play that will keep your little one company while they are in my home. I have 2 crates that can be put up if needed (one large, one small). I live in a small, quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic where walks can be done on leash. I do not have a fenced yard, so dogs will be leashed for safety while on my property. Rooms in my home can be separated with safety gates if feeding is needed. At a client's home, same rules apply for outside time unless there is a fenced yard. I will follow any routine that your pet is used to in their home. Two 30min walks or one 1 hour walk will done to burn that energy.
“Always does an outstanding job taking care of our fur baby when I travel. She even played with the dog in a little pool that she brought because of all of the heat - after she dried and groomed her so she still looked good after a fun day at the doggie pool!”

“Patti has taken care of our 4 pets: 2 cats and 2 dogs. She is dependable and does more than required in the job description. She kept me up updated on the supplies and let me know when I needed to order more dog food, cat food, treats, and allergy medication for the dogs. She bonded quite well with all the pets. She asks questions as necessary and makes good decisions.”
About: Hi there! My name is Summer, and I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience. My background includes working as a veterinary technician, as well as experience in boarding, daycare, and training facilities, along with years of private pet sitting for friends, family, clients. I have since expanded and became a dog trainer and dedicated my continuing my education in dog body language, behavior, and overall care. My goal as a pet sitter is to create a stress free and relaxed/fun environment while you’re away. I know how stressful and important it is to find a reliable pet sitter- so I pride myself on making sure I stick to your pets routine while meeting their physical exercise needs, along with providing enrichment/mental stimulation (if they are into that) to help tire their mind out; because a tired dog=happy dog. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small animals, and reptiles, and I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs structured care, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention while you’re away, I tailor my care to fit their individual needs and routine. I offer: •boarding (in your home) •drop-ins/walks •I also offer “field trip” enrichment days per request (beach, hike/trail walk, park, etc) I look forward to meeting you & your pet! 🐾 Working part time as a server, it gives me extra time to be flexible in dog sitting, overnight care, and walks! I also provide training for dogs upon request of the owner. In others homes, it’s important to me to keep dogs (or cats) schedule as close to their daily routine as possible. I will also clean up after the pets as well as myself and do light cleaning if needed. I have experience working with older animals and administering medication (vet experience) so I am comfortable doing that as well. I love to train dogs and if needed can be provided as well as adequate mental and physical exercise as it is very important for all dogs. Safety is a HUGE importance and will be one of my biggest concerns when watching your pet.
About: Hello ! My name is Amanda and I have been around dogs my entire life. I’ve recently moved into a new house and am looking to get back into helping you and your pets ! I have never known what it is like to live in a house without at least one dog and I don't think I ever will. I started pet sitting for family and friends about 8 years ago and haven't looked back. I have experience with all different breeds ranging from Huskies to Chihuahuas. I also have experience with there being more than one dog in the house so that is no problem. I currently have two dogs, Leo and Koda. Leo is a 11 year old Terrier/Toy Collie mix and Koda is a 8 year old Catahoula mix. I recently added an addition to the family and now have a 1 year old cat named Sushi as well! I a have experience with other animals such as birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc., so I can gladly help out with anything along those lines as well. I would love to help you and your furry friends out ! I can also provide references upon request :) I currently work remotely full time so I am home all week. I am also able to leave periodically during the morning and afternoon for walks and can work remotely from anywhere if house sitting is required. I have a very flexible schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. My cat also thinks he’s a dog and is very friendly and social. I also have lots of space if your animal needs to be crated at any point.

She was very accommodating to my schedule and quick to reply to any messages! I couldn’t recommend her more! My puppy can’t wait to go spend another day with Alex”
“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.”

“Kenneth was great with Beau! I had to book last minute due to a sudden change in my schedule for 4 days of doggy day care. Kenneth was more than accommodating and is exceptional with communication. Beau was always exercised (evident by his immediate nap when we got home) and excited to see Kenneth in the AM. Highly recommend, this is a no brainer if I ever need doggy day care again.”
“Diane and Michael were great. They had Riley, our 1yr old half black lab/half golden for a few hours when we went to dinner in Cape May. It was kind of a test run to see how things would go for future stays. When I came to pick up Riley he was happy and fine. Diane and Michael are normal people, easy to talk to and have a nice home for a dog to enjoy. Riley will definitely stay there again.”
“Loved how Christina cared for our little guy. We have never left him with a sitter before but as soon we got out of the car to meet her we immediately felt comfortable with her.

So happy to have found her and so close to home for us. Wonderful sitter !!”

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. Puppy Care: As a seasoned sitter, I possess a unique skill set in puppy training. I understand the importance of early socialization, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines. Senior Care: On the other end of the spectrum, I am well-versed in providing dedicated care for senior pets. I recognize the unique needs of older animals, including mobility challenges, joint care, and age-appropriate exercise. I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. I can readily adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your pets. Caring for the pets in your home is a responsibility I take very seriously! Every pet is unique, and I recognize that. I take the time to understand your pet's personality, preferences, and any specific requirements they may have. Above all, my genuine love for animals drives me to go above and beyond. Your pet will benefit from my unwavering dedication, treating them with the same affection and care I offer to my own pets. Routine: Consistency is key for pets, so l'll stick to their established routine, including feeding times, exercise schedules, bathroom breaks, and playtime. This minimizes stress and ensures a smooth transition in your absence. Feeding and Medication: If your pet requires a special diet or medication, l'll make sure to follow your instructions precisely. Whether it's administering oral medication, applying topical treatments, or managing injections, your pet's health is my top priority. Exercise and Play: Engaging physical and mental activities are vital for pets' well-being. I'll engage in interactive play, walks, and stimulating games to keep them entertained, happy, and healthy. Hygiene and Cleanliness: I maintain a clean and hygienic environment for your pet. Regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Communication: Regular updates are crucial to ease your mind while you're away. I'll provide you with timely messages, photos, and even videos of your pet, so you can stay connected and see that they're in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: While I hope it never happens, I am prepared for emergencies. 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.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. I am able to medicate pets and give them what ever special diets they may need I also know different things to watch for due to working at a veterinary office. I can make sure they get a lot of outdoor exercise due to my large fenced in back yard, lots of cuddles and if needed one on one attention. My husband who is also an animal lover will be here to help take care of your pet. And if weather permits and we are able we often take our dogs out for walks on pet friendly trails to give them a change of scenery. I do have some requirements to make sure all pets visiting and staying with us are kept safe and healthy. I do not take aggressive dogs, and I do require that all dogs are up to date on Rabies vaccine, distemper and bordetella, for their safety and health as well as other pets that are coming into the house. I want you to be well assured that while your pet is staying with me that they will be well taken care of and treated like a family member. Looking forward to seeing you and your pets I do currently work full time but they are not normal full time hours, so I am able to be home with the pet a lot. And when I do work my 2 full days I’m home at lunch since I’m only 5 mile from work. And my husband is home about 1 1/2 to 2 hours after I go back to work.. We are basically home bodies and enjoying spend time with with our pets and what ever pets we are watching. I have a large fenced yard and 2 large dogs to keep your fur babies company. Pets are aloud on the couch as well as our bed. I do have gates in the house in case we need to separate pets or during feed times or just in general. If needed we can crate as well. Pets are not allowed out front unless leashed. I do require documentation of updated Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella vaccines.
About: I have been a pet appreciation magnet as long as I can remember. Even when I am not aiming for the attention, the pets gravitate my way, and i have scritches and belly rubs for them all. I have a rescue of my own for 6+ years now, bichon/poodle mix. Though he had a traumatic start before me, he has adjusted well and is a cuddle bug, and getting better with his socialization with new doggos. I have been a dog sitter for friends over the last 8+ years, when they go on trips. I have experience in minor training, like sit/stay/leash leading, for a few breeds up to 50-70 lbs (no certificates, just repitition and patience). Positive recognition of good behavior and moderate activity (to remedy the bad behavior) when you need me are what I hope to share with your furry family members. I am currently working part-time, so i can set up a schedule of regular pet attention care during part day time hours. Currently I have weekends free if weekend care is requested, though this may change if requests are light. I am working on my house to be able to provide overnight care in the future, making it care friendly for additional furry friends. I have a fenced in, good size yard, and a medium size fur baby of my own to greet stay over friends, though my house needs a little more time for prep before we are ready. I am happy to do drop-ins and day or eve walks at your home, and follow any/all your rules. I respect your needs and want to make sure your fur baby is safe and happy in my care. I keep trainer treats in my car, if we need to practice a few basic commands, as well as water and other care essentials. I have a back seat hammock/cover for the pet's safety when traveling (as needed). I also have a med to large dog kennel I can put in the way back of my SUV if that is preferred for safety and security.

I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm environment, I make sure they get personalized care and attention. I also understand the importance of routines, updates, and communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I have a deep love and compassion for animals, and caring for them brings me true joy and fulfillment. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply spending time with them, I find great purpose in making sure they feel safe, healthy, and loved. I enjoy learning about their unique behaviors and needs, and I take pride in being gentle, patient, and responsible. I work part time under 20 hours a week which allows me to take care of my babies and allows to me to take care of yours as well. every animal is unique and each requires different needs. whether it be diet restriction to different toys they like the most. the most important thing is making sure your pet is comfortable around me and to make it as easy as possible for your pet to enjoy being with someone else that they are not used to yet.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented

About: Hi there! My name is Summer, and I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience. My background includes working as a veterinary technician, as well as experience in boarding, daycare, and training facilities, along with years of private pet sitting for friends, family, clients. I have since expanded and became a dog trainer and dedicated my continuing my education in dog body language, behavior, and overall care. My goal as a pet sitter is to create a stress free and relaxed/fun environment while you’re away. I know how stressful and important it is to find a reliable pet sitter- so I pride myself on making sure I stick to your pets routine while meeting their physical exercise needs, along with providing enrichment/mental stimulation (if they are into that) to help tire their mind out; because a tired dog=happy dog. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small animals, and reptiles, and I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs structured care, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention while you’re away, I tailor my care to fit their individual needs and routine. I offer: •boarding (in your home) •drop-ins/walks •I also offer “field trip” enrichment days per request (beach, hike/trail walk, park, etc) I look forward to meeting you & your pet! 🐾 Working part time as a server, it gives me extra time to be flexible in dog sitting, overnight care, and walks! I also provide training for dogs upon request of the owner. In others homes, it’s important to me to keep dogs (or cats) schedule as close to their daily routine as possible. I will also clean up after the pets as well as myself and do light cleaning if needed. I have experience working with older animals and administering medication (vet experience) so I am comfortable doing that as well. I love to train dogs and if needed can be provided as well as adequate mental and physical exercise as it is very important for all dogs. Safety is a HUGE importance and will be one of my biggest concerns when watching your pet.
About: Hello ! My name is Amanda and I have been around dogs my entire life. I’ve recently moved into a new house and am looking to get back into helping you and your pets ! I have never known what it is like to live in a house without at least one dog and I don't think I ever will. I started pet sitting for family and friends about 8 years ago and haven't looked back. I have experience with all different breeds ranging from Huskies to Chihuahuas. I also have experience with there being more than one dog in the house so that is no problem. I currently have two dogs, Leo and Koda. Leo is a 11 year old Terrier/Toy Collie mix and Koda is a 8 year old Catahoula mix. I recently added an addition to the family and now have a 1 year old cat named Sushi as well! I a have experience with other animals such as birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc., so I can gladly help out with anything along those lines as well. I would love to help you and your furry friends out ! I can also provide references upon request :) I currently work remotely full time so I am home all week. I am also able to leave periodically during the morning and afternoon for walks and can work remotely from anywhere if house sitting is required. I have a very flexible schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. My cat also thinks he’s a dog and is very friendly and social. I also have lots of space if your animal needs to be crated at any point.
About: I’ve had at least 2-3 dogs at a time with cats birds lizards rabbits turtles you name it at the same time. I guess you can say I’m a HUGE animal lover!

Thanks for caring for my baby like he was your baby!”

I will definitely be using Beth again in the future and HIGHLY recommend using her dog boarding services!”

Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
