“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.”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“I have no worries when my pup is in the hands of Kelley, she takes good care! Once again, Kelley is very friendly and patient with my high energy husky. I appreciate her fast responses and pictures.”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Michele is a wonderful dog-sitter! She is very knowledgeable about dogs. We met in advance of my dog’s stay so Michele could ensure compatibility and understand his needs and routine. My dog has separation anxiety, and Michele was extremely caring and accommodating. She sends photos and messages frequently. This was my first experience using Rover, and I have booked another sitting with her for May 2026. Thank you, Mickey!”
“We had a great first experience with Mary Sue, who we found through the Rover app. From start to finish, Mary Sue provided excellent care for our pup Roxie. She sent frequent updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear that she treated Roxie like her own, and Roxie came home tired and happy. We are so grateful for Mary Sue's care and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter.”
“Leaving our dog, Mazie with Sandee gives us total peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us multiple updates and photos daily. It is comforting to see how happy and relaxed Mazie is in her care. We always return to a happy, healthy dog and feel completely confident that everything is taken care of. We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.”
“Eric is the dog whisperer! Snoopy felt comfortable right away and made himself at home. There were thunderstorms during our trip and Snoopy dreads these but Eric made sure to give him extra comfort and care and send us photos. It was so nice to see our pup calm and happy when we picked him up. Much appreciate how Eric understands dogs intuitively!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”

“Caroline is fantastic! It is easy to tell that she truly cares. She is trustworthy, meticulous and she gives thorough updates. We are very grateful for meeting her and we will definitely use her again. Caroline is welcome at our home anytime.”
“Kate was wonderful. She took great care of my cats. One of my cats likes extra attention, and he definitely got it from Kate. He seemed very happy when I got home. They both looked great, and even though my other cat doesn't like strangers very much, he seemed to like Kate. I will definitely book her again.”
“Jill is a fantastic sitter. She came ahead of time for a meet and greet and I was comfortable with her from the start. Jill came in daily for 3 weeks and took wonderful care of our cats and bird. We received photos and an update every day. We will definitely use Jill again whenever we need pet sitting. Thanks Jill!”

About: I've cared for cats my entire life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. From playful kittens to senior cats with unique needs, I'm comfortable providing attentive, loving care and making sure they feel safe and happy while you're away.

About: I’m located near the shore and often work with visitors who want dependable, attentive care for their dog while they’re enjoying the beach or local restaurants. I have a 6-month-old Cavapoo named Louie who absolutely loves other dogs, and I make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, safe, and part of the routine Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home consistently throughout the day, so I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, and activity schedules. I prioritize structure and consistency to make sure each dog feels comfortable and settled, whether they’re here for a few hours or a longer stay. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment so dogs feel comfortable right away. In my home, I keep a structured routine with regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and downtime, along with supervised play—especially with my puppy, Louie, who loves other dogs. I have a fenced in yard that the pups love to play in. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their dog’s normal routine and preferences to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m very attentive to behavior and adjust as needed, and I always keep owners updated.
“Alicia was spectacular! Aside from taking wonderful care of our "little boy" Boots, we received updates and great photos and videos, and the house was in perfect shape, including the sheets being stripped. We cannot recommend Alicia enough! Courteous, great attention to detail, a pro!!”

“Sicilia (Sisi) took excellent care of our super picky, very shy cat, Luna! She was communicative, provided detailed updates, and sent lots of photos. She was extremely patient with our sassy but sweet princess, and made sure Luna had all the things she needed while we were gone. It definitely made us feel more comfortable leaving to know that Luna was in great hands! We will definitely have Sisi back the next time we need someone to watch Luna!”

“Mariah took great care of our miniature dachshund. She provided Jewels the attention she needed while being separated from her pet parents. Mariah was flexible with our schedule & we would book with her again.”
“Kate was fantastic taking care of Kyzer while we were camping at the Jersey 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.

Highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like their own. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Janet was Fantastic with my Boston Terrier, Bandit & they clicked immediately, EVEN More SO when after coming it to greet us(!& I was very happy 2 see that she has a tall fenced in yard, b/c if the " Prince" feels he isn't "getting enough attention, He likes to Jump my 4 FT fence SMH BANDIT Had THE TIME OF HIS LIFE @ Miss Janet's house ! It's easy to see why”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kelley was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible, communicated with us proactively and throughout Kal’s stay, and took fantastic care of him. Her huge fenced-in property gave him plenty of room to run and play, and her three sweet kids were so excited to spend time with him. It was clear Kal was loved and well cared for while we were away. We will happily book with Kelley again the next time we go down the shore.”
“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”
“Megan was great with Ember! We were down for a couple of days on vacation and she was incredibly flexible with us which made it so much easier! We were able to take Ember places dogs were allowed, but were also able to go and do our own thing with the help of Megan! Will definitely be visiting her again when we come back in the fall for vacation!”
“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!”
“Michele was awesome, put both Sadie and me at ease immediately. Sadie hadn’t stayed with a sitter for over 3 years but she was calm and affectionate with Michele and I’m not sure she wanted to leave! I’ll definitely use her services again.”
“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!”
“Liane is AMAZING! I have never used a service like this before and I was so nervous leaving my boy. She was so kind and trustworthy. She sent me pictures of him playing and was so gracious answering my texts. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I can’t thank her enough!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”

“Ash did an amazing job walking my two dogs this week. They took to her immediately (which was a great relief to me since one of my dogs suffers from extreme separation anxiety). She took them for long walks on the beach every day, which they both love so much. I will definitely use her again whenever I need a dog walker! I highly recommend her!”
“Marlena is fabulous! After my error in my booking, she graciously came through for me at the last minute. AND updated me about their walk together along with adorable pics.”

About: Hi! I'm spending the summer in Wildwood with my family and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chinchillas, so caring for animals has been a part of my everyday life since I was young. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just keeping a pet company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, playtime, and house sitting services. I'll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, affection, and care while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. While I can't offer boarding because my family home is already full of furry friends, I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets in the place where they're most comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I do work a full 9-5 job and am out of the house from 8-6 everyday. I can do nightly dog walking during the weeks and can board dogs for those busy weekend or weekend getaways. I am currently living in a two bedroom apartment. My building is located just across the street from a park where we can go out to run around and play. Pets are allowed on the couch but will not be allowed on the bed.

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.
“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.”
“I have no worries when my pup is in the hands of Kelley, she takes good care! Once again, Kelley is very friendly and patient with my high energy husky. I appreciate her fast responses and pictures.”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
“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 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 dogs Olive & Josie were so well cared for and comfortable with Brenda and her family. Brenda sent us photos and updates throughout our time away. It was very comforting to know that our dogs were very happy while we were traveling. Thank you Brenda!!”
“Finley had a great time at Robert and Susan’s! There were plenty of other dogs Finley’s size for her to play with, as well as a large backyard to get all of her energy out! Would certainly have Finley stay with them again.”
“Lori did a great job taking care of our two dogs. She communicated regularly and provided pictures. She was very flexible and great to work with. The dogs seemed very happy and comfortable in her home.”
“We are extremely grateful to Marvina for taking such tender care of our two pups. Knowing our pups were safe and loved in her home allowed us to enjoy our time with family in a busy city, which would not be fun for Fred and Daisey. 🐾🐾”
“Murphy had a great time at Tylers. We never left him before so we were nervous but we were completely at ease and confident that Tyler would take great care of him. We will definitely book 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!”
“Diana was absolutely great! She kept in contact with me the entire time and always send pictures and videos. She is such a sweet and loving person that truly cares for animals. I highly recommend her and I will be using her 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!”
