Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ocean View
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ocean View
“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.”
“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!”
“Wonderful experience. Victoria put us and our 2 dogs at ease. Our dogs were treated well and received lots of attention. She shared some photos and messages with us. Would definitely use again and recommend.”
“Chloe had a great weekend with Denise! She loved watching squirrels in her beautiful back yard! Denise sent regular updates and photos! It was Chloe’s first stay with Denise and we were more than happy!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We have never left Huey with anyone other than family so we were a little nervous. We did a Meet and Greet and Kirk and Joy put our fears to rest. However, Huey got sick the day before we were going to leave and needed to take medication. We were anxious, but they sent us pictures and updates on how Huey was doing. Highly recommend!”
“A great Wildwood /Cape May vacation was had by All Dolly appeared happy and relaxed after her stay with Janet. I think she enjoyed the attention and company (both human and canine). No signs of anxiety or stress. Great job, Janet and friends!”
“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.”
“I can’t possibly say enough good things about Marci and her family and how they took such good care of our two wonderful dogs for 10 days. This was the longest we have ever left the dogs and Marci made us feel so reassured while we were away with unbelievable updates pictures and videos. They showed incredible love to our dogs and we are forever grateful I cannot recommend Marci enough! Thank you Marci and family! ❤️”
“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 ?”
“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!!!!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I definitely recommend Michael for boarding. He watched our puppy for 4 days, and he sent pictures every day. I could tell she had a blast playing with the other dogs. Michael is super nice, and the whole process was very easy.”

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.

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.

I'll have your contact information, your veterinarian's details, and a plan in place to address any unexpected situations that may arise.

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.

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!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ocean View
“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.”
“Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! We had a last minute trip to the area and needed someone to watch our dog for the day. Mariah was phenomenal! Sent us several pictures of Buster to alleviate our concerns, and was very responsive. If we're ever in the area again we will definitely reach out to her. Plus our dog came back unusually happy and calm.”
“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!”
“We have two boxers. Had no experience with using a dog sitter before this. We had plans to stay in the wildwood area and found out the dogs were not permitted on the boardwalk were we needed to be. I read through the reviews, found Mike and can’t say enough about what a perfect experience it was. We only needed him during the day so he promptly communicated with us and adhered to our schedule. He sent us pics to let us know how they both were adjusting. Mike is not just some guy you are leaving your dogs with, he truly seemed to care for our dogs and their needs. Thank you Mike for taken great care of us! Hope to see you again real soon. Lots of licks, ( and maybe a little slobber) Zeus and Apollo!”
“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!”
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. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets. I will play, pet, and walk with your dogs as needed, and enjoy every second of it. If needed to be in a crate i will place a toy with them and provide a treat if allowed.
“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.”
“Alexa was very responsive and was flexible in accommodating us for the care of our dog while vacationing in ocean City as we took a day to visit Cape May with a celebratory Birthday dinner. Thank you Alexa!”
“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. ??”
“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 have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle since I was 10 years old! What started as helping out neighbors has grown into a lifelong passion for animal care. For over 10 years, friends and family have trusted me with their most important family members because they know I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. From high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Whether your pup needs a high-intensity play session or a calm companion to lounge with, I adapt my energy to what they need most. Pet care is my full-time career, so your pets are my #1 priority. Because I don't have a typical 9-to-5, I have a completely flexible schedule. I’m available for mid-day walks, early morning feedings, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or constant companionship throughout the day, I can be there. In your home: I strictly follow your pet's existing routine to keep them comfortable. I am vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping harmful items out of reach. In my home: I have two pet-friendly setups. Depending on your pet's personality, I can host them in a lively home with my two friendly dogs for socializing, or in my second pet-free home if they prefer a quiet, one-on-one environment. Outdoors: I never let dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and always do a quick 'paws-check' on the pavement to ensure it’s not too hot for a walk."
About: Hello my name is Angela and I'm a huge animal enthusiast. I live not to far from most shore towns where people visit including Ocean City, Sea Isle, Avalon, and Stone Harbor. I own a home on a medium sized lot,so your dog has somewhere to safely play. The backyard is fenced off while the front is not. I also live in a relatively small neighborhood (2x3) blocks that's perfect for going on walks with the pups! I will take really good care of your family member as I would my own. 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!

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“Truly treated my dog like her own. Cooked for him. Cleaned his eye goo. She was super patient too, because he is reactive. She kept me consistently updated with pix and texts. She is amazing!”
“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.”
“Our 2 pups had the absolute best time with Dee! It was our puppies first time away with a sitter and Dee treated her like her own! She also took great care of our senior dog. She sent us a ton of pictures and videos and put us at ease and made the experience super smooth and easy!”
“Angela responded to my questions promptly, and made me feel at ease leaving my dog for the first time with a Rover caregiver. She texted with updates and photos. Boomer was in great hands, and I’ll definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“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!!”
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.
“Jan was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and she made us feel completely at ease. She took great care of our high-energy chocolate Lab puppy, Moose, who rarely stays overnight without us. She kept us updated without us having to ask, was very responsive, and made sure Moose stayed active and entertained. The extra crate was also a huge plus and helped him settle down when he needed to. We'd definitely recommend Jan and will absolutely book with her again!”
