“This was our baby’s second time with Rebecca. When we arrived he recognized where we were and was so excited he was yipping and his tail was wagging so hard his little butt was moving with it! Knowing how much he loves his vacation spot makes it so much easier to enjoy our own!!”

“Teresa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. He had a great time playing with all the other dogs there. Thank you for treating him like your own!”

Suzanne M.

“Xena was so animated when we got home. I'm sure she was trying to communicate how much fun she had with the other animals. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby, I truly appreciate it!”

Vicki H.

“Beth was great! My wife and I were boarding our young cat for the very first time and for a couple weeks- we were both feeling nervous because our cat has had a difficult time socializing with other people and had some health issues. Beth recognized that nervousness and immediately worked to put us and our cat at ease. She shared pictures and videos regularly. What was really amazing to see was how our cat began to open to Beth and looked just as comfortable with her as he is with us in the videos. It was so good to see him happy, being taken care of, and making a new friend- that's especially because of Beth- she really cares for animals and takes time to build a relationship with them. Very highly recommend Beth, and we will definitely be coming back for any trips in the future!”

Michael D.

About: My schedule can be flexible so please let me know what you need and I'll be sure to let you know if we can make it work! I have owned a couple dogs in the past and dog sit for my family and friends all the time. We currently have two cats that are dog friendly, or tolerant. We’d love to host your fur babies with us for a long weekend to let you get away. I work full-time Mon-Fri so would mostly be available for weekend boarding, Fri-Sun. I am available for drop in visits or walks during the week after 5pm. We have a fully fenced in yard with tons of shade and multiple rooms and spaces to separate animals as needed. Dogs are TOTALLY allowed on furniture and we have healthy treats as their diets allowed. Big neighborhood for walks (with sidewalks) and the pavement is always tested on my own skin before their precious paws. I have lick mats and kongs for mental stimulation and love to fill them with protein and veggies.

“She put my mind at ease with this being my first booking. I loved she sent me pictures of him playing and being a lovable boy! My boy had a great time!”

Sydne M.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life. I can’t help but love on dogs. They have so much to offer and live so deeply. I work full time during the week. Once I’m home and on weekends I am all about loving on my own Willow! We love to play and go for walks as much as possible. Usually by bedtime we are both exhausted. I do not have a fenced yard but we live in a quiet development. Since we are in the back it is safe. Dogs can have free roam of the house if they are potty trained. We do have small area sectioned off for our own pup that we can use if not potty trained. Our own pup is crated trained and in her crate when we aren’t there as well as at night. We prefer the same.

“Highly recommend Alyssa! She watched my 2 babies this past weekend. She kept me in the loop via messages and pictures while we were away. She gave them so much attention and play time. Her dog is friendly and playful which was a perfect match for my energetic pup. They even got into some trouble rolling around in the dirt and got special baths. The initial meet and greet made me feel great about booking the boarding.”

Jess S.

“Angie and her husband took great care of my dog! They sent me several pictures throughout the weekend so I knew my dog was in good hands and she was having lots of fun. I will definitely have her watch my dog again.”

About: Hi, I’m Abby! 🐱💕 I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years, and being a cat mom is one of my favorite things! I’m lucky to have two very special cats of my own, Claire and Piper. Claire was actually a cat I once had the opportunity to cat sit for, and somewhere along the way, she became family! Piper has an equally special story, she was a stray who showed up at my chicken coop one day and decided she had found her forever home. 🥹🐾 I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your kitty loves cuddles, playtime, treats, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll give them the patience, attention, and love they deserve. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! 💕🐾

“Was totally comfy and happy with the level of care and attention provided while I was away!! I’m sure my cats, especially Cid, will miss his new friend. Thank you so much for everything and merry christmas!”

“Mariah was super awesome with my dog Gary! Gary isn’t away from me hardly ever and he enjoyed his time with Mariah! She sent me a picture and a video which made me feel so relaxed. No hesitation to take your dogs to her!!!”

Christina F.

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

“Janet was fantastic! She took great care of Luna while we checked out the Cape May zoo and a couple of restaurants. Luna had a blast running around the pool with Bo, and Janet kept us updated with fun pics. Plus, she was super flexible with us when the weather kept changing, letting us adjust our plans. We’ll definitely reach out to her next time we’re in the area! Thanks again, Janet!”

Jen L.

“Alex took great care of my puppy! He was there all day while I was at work, I got to enjoy pictures and videos she took of him throughout the day. He went on multiple walks which he loves! 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”

About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year.

They are sweet and fun and love other dogs! We have 4 kiddos as well who love caring for the dogs including our 12 and 11 year old girls who love taking the dogs for walks! We are a homeschooling family so we are home most of the time and don't kennel our dogs at all while we are home! We have a huge fenced-in backyard that the dogs love to roam and run around in! Playing fetch in the back yard is a highlight in our home!

“Sureya connected with my dog immediately. She got down to his stature level and rubbed and hugged him, at that point I knew he was in good hands. Sureya took my dog Corbin without a two hour notice and I was so thankful especially being away from home. Sureya took great care of Corbin and I will definitely use her again when near the area.”

Evette J.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and got my first dog at 10 years old. Caring for him taught me responsibility, patience, and the deep bond we share with our pets. I have over 8 years of experience caring for senior dogs and 5+ years providing dog sitting services for private clients. Many families trust me repeatedly with their pets because I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs — from playful pups who love walks and attention to more relaxed dogs who just want companionship and cuddles. Small and medium dogs have mostly been under my care and only some larger breeds. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, safe, and stress-free while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is, especially for senior dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I know peace of mind matters when you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help. Creating a calm, loving environment is very important to me, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home on my own time so I am available pretty much daily unless I have other clients in my schedule. Requests in advance are very much appreciated. Services in your home will be as the you request, I aim to please you and your pet! I live in a tiny home that shares the fenced in backyard with my in laws who have an older toy poodle, a Chorkie and a calico cat who I will keep separate from your pet if you’re looking for daycare and overnight stays. My home is small so overnight and day cares are limited for very large dogs.

“My dogs love going to stay with Dee. She treats them like they are her own puppies. They get excited as soon as we pull up to her house anticipating a day of fun and snuggles. I appreciate knowing my beloved girls are well taken care of. Thank you Dee! Stevie and Pearl will be back.”

I have to cats, one afraid of her own shadow and will sneak in to visit once in a while where the other cat is just curious and wants a friend. Both friendly and loving.

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