“Patricia took very good care of our doggie that boarded with her. We were lucky to find her on a short notice and lucky that we felt immediately reassured that he would be in good hands. An added bonus was her own sweet and happy dog who became a buddy to ours quickly. I recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a home away from home for their canine family members.”
“Ceecee was AMAZING. I needed a sitter at the last minute and she responded asap and was able to accommodate me. She was so great with koda and so sweet. Koda is a big boy and she took him in with no questions asked and updated me through out the stay. She made sure he felts safe and loved. I would 100% recommend booking with her.”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was born. My own dog, Trip has been with me since I was 18 years old. 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love. I am happy to provide your pets the same love and care I do for my own while you are away. I am currently working full-time M-F, 9-4. But i have flexibility to stop home for lunches. I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.
“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!”
“Lisa's exceptional care for Millie while I was away truly brought me peace of mind. Her daily updates and pictures reassured me that Millie was happy and thriving. It was clear that Lisa went above and beyond, providing Millie with walks every three hours during the day, which is more than she's used to but undoubtedly enjoyed. To my delight, Millie even came home with a painted picture, showcasing her "creativity" during her time with Lisa. Without a doubt, I will confidently reach out to Lisa again whenever I need a reliable sitter for Millie!”
“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.”
“Cindy was very nice and welcoming. She provided photos and updates of Louie, and he seemed to have enjoyed his stay at her home. I would book with Cindy again.”

“James took such good care of my weim boy! My boy isn’t always the easiest dog to handle, and he can be high maintenance, and James made it seem like he was a breeze! Quickly Responsive, followed any/all care instructions. So happy to have peace of mind knowing my dog is well taken care of when he is there.”
“Sherlin was great and she was happy with my Buffy. She gave Buffy a great report card. Sherlin sent pictures & updates on Buffys stay which quieted my fears. Would definitely use Sherlin again and Sherlin would welcome Buffy back anytime.”
“Marci took great care of our Heidi girl while we were away! She sent lots of pictures and was sure to keep us up to date. We were at ease knowing she was in good hands!”

Having someone who comes in to give insulin really allowed me to enjoy our time away with no worries if we would have to come home early. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again. Thanks again Andrew!!”
About: When my dog was a puppy I’d train him, but made sure it was like a game. He now sits politely for scratches and food. I do have a part time job at the moment but I can provide pet care just about any time and day with advance notice. I have experience with crate training, preparing treat toys, grooming (such as brushing, trim, ear cleaning, dental) and I will follow feeding instructions as needed.
About: Over the years since I was little up to current, we’ve owned and cared for 10+ cats, and re-homed even more. I grew up on a farm and so we always had strays show up, mothers with new litters, and all kinds of cats on the property. I helped my mother care for them prior to them going to their forever homes.
About: Im a stay home dad who loves pets. I've own a Maine coon cat for 12 years who is in cat heaven now. Also have a tabby coon for 14 years and a pretty Halloween cat for 12 years as well. I can administer meds orally if need be.
“Shannon was the best. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties in her hands. She sent pictures every day and was always in communication. Definitely would hire her again.”
“James was wonderful with Midnight—even applying ear medication! He had a much easier time doing so than myself, apparently! I received lots of pictures, and I can tell he genuinely enjoyed my animals and treated them with love and respect. I would definitely nook with James again.”
About: I grew up in a dogs only family but about 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love, so much so that he might have changed me to team cat. I am happy to provide your cats the same love and care I do for my own while you are away.
“Breanna is great! She’s checked in on my cat a few times now and it’s always been a great experience. She takes plenty of photos and videos, gives great rundowns of her visit, and is very responsive. Most importantly, I come home to a happy and healthy cat! I would definitely recommend Breanna to my friends looking for a pet-sitter and your fur babies will be in good hands with her.”
About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.
About: My first cat, one I still have today, was a runt and had weak motor skills. This only helped me learn what my cat needs. From extra playtime with cat toys to assisting with grooming, I’ve only gained more patience to learn how each cat behaves.
About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar to there day to day.
About: I've taken care of my own dogs for many years, feeding, cleaning up after them, playing with them, bathing and brushing them, even cutting their nails. I have also taken care of a few neighborhood dogs. I have also worked as an animal care person at a reptile facility, so I know my way around a lot of animals! I am on a break from college currently to get some money for the rest of my years of studying, since I cannot afford to right now. I will dedicate as much time as I can to your pets and do my best for them! While I do not offer in home sitting, I have been taking care of animals for a solid 6 years of my life, including reptiles and birds! I am also connected to the Absecon Police Department so if anything were to happen while I were dog/house sitting, rest assured the situation would be resolved quickly and efficiently.

About: With a lifetime of dog care experience, I specialize in puppies, seniors, high-energy breeds, and beagles—providing compassionate, reliable care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I'm a teacher with summers off, offering dependable, loving dog care all day—perfect for puppies, seniors, and energetic pups needing extra loving attention and time. As a teacher available this summer, I provide in-home dog care and walking—attentive, reliable service for puppies, seniors, and energetic dogs of all wonderful kinds.
“Absolutely phenomenal experience with our dog sitter! From the moment we dropped off our 9-week-old Moochie, for day care we knew he was in the best hands. Communication was top-notch, receiving regular updates and adorable photos of Moochie having a blast, watching tv and snuggling on the couch. Pat went above and beyond to ensure Moochie's comfort and happiness, even accommodating his special feeding schedule and playful energy, and potty breaks. I was a nervous wreck leaving Moochie, when my work from home husband had an unexpected business trip. Moochie definitely formed a bind with Pat and was so happy to return to day care for the second day! Five stars all the way! We will definitely be booking with Pat again.”
About: My husband Tim and I both grew up in households where our cats and dogs were treated as part of the family. Our neighbors, friends, and family members trust that we are a phone call away to either go to their homes to feed and take their dogs on walks or to have them stay with us overnight. We have experience with training puppies, caring for older dogs with special needs, and taking care of animals with allergies and special dietary needs. We want to extend our home and hearts to your beloved pets and use our personal experience to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. We can provide daily exercise, administer medication, and even help with potty training. We are always available to receive calls and texts when you are away, and we will update you as often as you would like so you can see what your pet is up to throughout the day and enjoy your time away from your furbaby without worrying that they aren't receiving the attention and love they deserve. We are home full-time (Lisa works from home and Tim is retired) and are available for all your pet's wants and needs. We live in a clean, stress-free, spacious home in a quiet neighborhood with our two teenage kids, dog Griffin, and cat Monk.
“Archie usually takes awhile to warm up to people and can be kind of stand offish until then. However he IMMEDIATELY took to Patricia and her husband, letting them pet his face and going up to them for cuddles. I've never seen him do that before! He loved them right away and they were great! Will def book again”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.
“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. ??”
About: Caring for dogs and cats fills my heart with joy. I believe every animal is unique and deserves extra love, support, and attention — especially when their humans can’t be there. I take pride in offering attentive, personalized care for every dog and cat I watch. As someone who works part-time from home, I’m able to offer full-time attention and care to your beloved pet. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved. In my home, your dog will receive 3–4 walks a day (more if needed). We’ll also enjoy playtime in the backyard on-leash, and on nice days, we can head down to the beach for some fresh air and fun! In your home, I’m available for daily dog walks or twice-daily visits to feed and care for your cat. During each visit, I’ll spend quality time with your pets — whether that’s belly rubs, playtime, or just keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while you're away.
“Emily did amazing with Luna! She was very charismatic towards Luna’s anxiety with new faces and pups and quickly got her to open up and play. We are very satisfied with Luna’s visit and will be coming back! Thanks Emily <3”
“I was so pleased with the care sadie received i would highly recommend them for anyone who needs peace of mind while on vacation thank you again for your care will absolutely use them again”
About: I have cared for pets for over 20 years in a variety of settings. My own pets, as well as friends, family members, and neighbors. I have also been previously employed by a professional dog walking company, which I remained with for two years. My responsibilities included walking the dogs, taking them to the park, feeding, and staying overnight in many cases while owners were away. I would also care for cats, rabbits, and other animals. I have experience with medication administration, such as eyedrops and pills. I love animals and I have a very calm, nurturing disposition. Safety and snuggles are my two priorities! I work full time from my home on a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide a ton of attention for your pet if they are here with me. I am also able to easily stay in others homes due to my job. It's incredibly important to me to make sure that your pet feels safe, loved and cared for. Pets are like family, and I know how hard it is to leave them sometimes, especially with a new person. I have a two story home and they are free to roam around as they please, lay on the couch, sit out on the deck (weather permitting). If I am at your home, I follow your care instructions very carefully and I am respectful your space. I have an 8 year old standard goldendoodle who is very friendly. However, if your dog may not get along with another dog, I am able to take mine to his grandpa's house to watch him so I can prioritize yours.
“Kateri is awesome! Our dog had a great time while boarding with her and she was extremely communicative and shared pictures with us periodically. We’re very happy with her services!”
“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.”

About: Animals have been my whole life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one taking care of our pets, and I’ve had dogs, cats, and all kinds of other animals over the years. Even a squirrel! I’ve also spent years pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family & collègues. Whenever someone needs help with their pets, I am usually the first person they call. I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals and their different personalities! I’ve always been involved in helping animals however I can. Back when I was in school, I organized donation drives for local shelters and volunteered my time there. I also help build shelters for stray cats in the winter for a few consecutive years now! Working with animals has always been a dream of mine. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets and care for them like they’re family, I’d love to help! P.S. I am more than willing to care for any other types of animals! Turtles, birds, rabbits, lizards and hey even a squirrel! As long as all of the proper personal care information is relayed to me in advance :) I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting, drop in visits, and walks. Outside of work, my schedule is very open! I care for pets in their own homes by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I know being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well!
About: I have many years of experience working with dogs, cats, and horses. I grew up horseback riding, volunteering at 4-H events, and helping at our local animal shelter, which has given me a broad and hands-on background with all kinds of four-legged friends. Whether it’s caring for farm animals, taking a neighborhood walk or check-in, or administering a shot (as I’m a Type 1 diabetic and comfortable with injections), your animal’s needs will always be my top priority! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday. On weekdays, I’m available in the mornings from 5:00–7:00 AM and in the afternoons/evenings from 4:00–10:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available any time on both Saturday and Sunday! **I may also be available mid-day on Thursdays and Fridays upon request.** I am custom to feeding, crating, walking, or letting animals out of a pen. My two cats currently are what we call, “Spoiled Rotten,” as they are my family members! With the passing of our family’s German Shepard a few years ago, daily walks, feeding, and even the casual car ride were some of his favorites. With this being said for our known house pets- I am also familiar to outdoor pens; water troughs, electric fences, stables, etc.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 years. I’m really in it for the love of the game. I unfortunately can’t have a dog my self, which in turn makes me love and care for others dogs even more. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and can handle just about anything when it comes to caring for them. I know how much you care about your dog, which is why I will go to the ends of the earth to take care of them Lucas Domazet I’m part time at the family business, so I’m free most days. Just text me when ever and I’ll let you know. Call at midnight for all I care. I know life is crazy and sometimes you can’t take your pets with you. That’s why I’m here What ever special requirements your pet may need, I will do. I know everyone loves their dog(s) more than most other people in their life. So obviously they deserve as much love and care as we can give them.
About: For the past 10 years, I've cared for my own pets as well as friends' dogs, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of needs. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, administering medication, and managing high-energy puppies, along with dogs of every size. I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I'd give my own! I am currently taking a summer course at Stockton University, so my availability is quite open! I will be traveling often between Galloway and Atlantic City with reliable transport! I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I'm comfortable with both species' needs and routines. When caring for clients' pets, I always follow their specific instructions including feeding times, leash habits, crate routines, medications, and any other house rules. Safety and consistency for the pet always come first! :)

“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.”
“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!”
“Dogs came back in excellent condition. Extra food and treats were returned. Fenced yard and friendly dogs in the home. Andrew kept us posted while we were away. Highly recommend.”
“Valerie gave my dog Reese the best vacation and yet felt at home away from home! Valerie was very communicative and flexible with our schedules and we are so grateful for her help. We hope to use her again in the future”
“Patricia took very good care of our doggie that boarded with her. We were lucky to find her on a short notice and lucky that we felt immediately reassured that he would be in good hands. An added bonus was her own sweet and happy dog who became a buddy to ours quickly. I recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a home away from home for their canine family members.”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was born. My own dog, Trip has been with me since I was 18 years old. 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love. I am happy to provide your pets the same love and care I do for my own while you are away. I am currently working full-time M-F, 9-4. But i have flexibility to stop home for lunches. I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.
“Lisa's exceptional care for Millie while I was away truly brought me peace of mind. Her daily updates and pictures reassured me that Millie was happy and thriving. It was clear that Lisa went above and beyond, providing Millie with walks every three hours during the day, which is more than she's used to but undoubtedly enjoyed. To my delight, Millie even came home with a painted picture, showcasing her "creativity" during her time with Lisa. Without a doubt, I will confidently reach out to Lisa again whenever I need a reliable sitter for Millie!”
“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.”
“Cindy was very nice and welcoming. She provided photos and updates of Louie, and he seemed to have enjoyed his stay at her home. I would book with Cindy again.”
“Kim was so warm and welcoming, overall just so understanding and patient with my Aslan. She always kept me posted with pictures and updates. I felt so comfortable with her taking care of my cat. I'm so very thankful!!!”
About: I've had pets for the last 15 years. I'm an active dad who loves walks around town with my own dogs, I am more than happy to walk yours also. Our pets are up to date with vaccines and I keep clean water bowls daily. Feel free to reach out to me with your questions, I'll be happy to help. I am a stay home dad and I take pride in running my house accordingly. I'm an active runner and walk ours dogs often so they don't get anxious and i play fetch with them daily x3 at least. I have a schedule for feeding times to maintain appropriate weight goals for our pets. I have a fence backyard with space to play fetch so we don't have to find random parks on days that are too hot or too cold. However walks are a must for the dogs social development. Walk time vary depending on age, size and capability of the dog. I keep the AC or heat on according to the season.
“Jan watched our dog Cash over Memorial Day weekend, Jan kept us up to date and sent pictures and videos of Cash. My husband and I both felt very comfortable leaving Cash with her. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands! She was so sweet and we could tell she really loved dogs. We will be booking again throughout the summer!”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.
“This was our pup, Isla’s, first time boarding and Jared took excellent care of her. When we met Jared at our meet and greet, we could immediately tell that he loves dogs and would be a responsible and caring sitter. The daily photos he sent showed she felt right at home and was having such a good time that we were afraid she would not want to come home back home. We will definitely book with Jared again and know that Isla will happily run in in the door and make herself at home! Thanks Jared and family for making Isla’s first boarding experience such a positive one!”
“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.”
“Skipper stayed with Kristen for a couple of days and she every day she provided great communication, numerous updates and kept our pup busy! He is a higher energy 1.5 year old golden doodle, so he needs a lot of exercise and she was awesome at keeping him entertained with her children and dog Bailey. He was allowed on her furniture and it really seemed like he was part of her family for his stay. Thanks so much for your efforts Kristen!! We highly recommend you!”
