“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years - they are part of the family! You will have no worries while they are in my care. My work schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time and love and spend time your your dog(s) whether it's a walk, sit around or brush them. I live in a safe neighborhood or can come to yours - wherever you and your pet feel more comfortable and will be sure they are cared for at all times.
“Kateri is the BEST! I was nervous about boarding our pup at first but I am so glad I did. Kateri provided updates, pictures and video's throughout the entire week we were away. She understands puppies can be a handful and still did a great job with our 5-month old pup Stella. Kateri has a HUGE fenced yard that provided plenty of room for Stella to run, play and of course have fun with Kateri's adorable 2 yr old dog Maze. They had so much fun together. So thankful we found someone so caring. We will definitely be booking again soon. Highly recommend Kateri.”
“Andrew is, without a doubt, the best we've ever used on Rover. We have a sometimes high-energy rescue dog, and Andrew was amazing with him. He was incredibly patient and kind, and he made us feel completely at ease start to pick up. He sent us frequent photo and video updates, showing our dog happy and relaxed, and we could tell he was being treated like family. We highly recommend Andrew and will definitely be rebooking with him for all our future needs!”
“Barb was great with the girls. She always texted and sent pics when requested. Girls were good and happy. Barb was very understanding and accommodating when I needed to shift my drop off and pick up time. Thanks again for taking such good care of my girls.”
“Outstanding!!, Patricia and her husband were very kind and welcoming to our fur baby, she sent updates with pictures and that was much appreciated. We will definitely use them again”
“The timing of our rescue arriving & out pre-purchased/non-refundable/pet-free vacation couldn’t have been worse: we only had one week with our sweet London before we had to leave her. As such, we spent a LOT of time reading reviews for a sitter who would provide a lot of attention, affection, and consistency. We truly couldn’t have picked a better person than Denise. We explained the pickle we found ourselves in and Denise immediately understood & put our minds at ease. From the first meeting, we could tell Denise loved dogs. She has a great backyard full of toys that our pup adored, and above all, Denise’s kind and gentle demeanor made London right at home. The frequent updates and photos made us certain we made the right choice. They certainly bonded over their week together & we will be sure to use Denise in the future! We recommend Denise 100%.”
“Michelle watched my old guy mini-dachshund, Mojo, for a little over a week while we traveled. I am always nervous leaving him anywhere - but Michelle was so sweet, sent pictures & check-ins, and took great care of him. Mojo seemed like he had a great week. :)”
“My dog was on a mini vacation, she had a blast there !! You can tell Karrie really cares about animals and treats yours like her own. My Lola was taken to the beach for her first time. I can’t be happier ? we will definitely use her again when we’re in Atlantic City ???‼️?”
“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!”
“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 took wonderful care of my Honey. She kept me updated with texts & pictures. She took Honey on lots of walks, and even did an art project with Honey which she gave to me. I was very nervous having never left my Honey with anyone except my daughter. Lisa exceeded my expectations and I will be using her again and again! I am thrilled to have found Lisa! And I highly recommend Lisa!”
“Marci watched our Nova Bean for our wedding weekend and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with her care. Nova was in great hands and she made sure he was clean & ready to go to walk down the aisle! She updated us with images all weekend and kept us in the loop on how he was doing. Marci made nova feel right at home and even got him to eat his medicine!! If you need a reliable and wonderful dog sitter, Marci is your perfect person!!”
“We are so grateful for Sterlin! She accepted extremely last minute on a holiday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Reggie, during our family beach day trip to Ocean City, NJ. She welcomed us inside right away, introduced Reggie to her other dogs, and helped him acclimate quickly to the new environment. Throughout the day, she sent us thoughtful photo updates of Reggie smiling and playing, which was so reassuring. Her home is also conveniently located just off the exit, making drop-off and pick-up easy. What else can we say—we’ll absolutely be using Sterlin again whenever we’re in town. Thank you, Sterlin!”
“I am pleased that Myles was well cared for by Jim. Myles received the same pampered attention with Jima as he receives at home. It was also comforting to receive periodic photos to see how well Myles adjusted to his new environment. I would use Jim again in the future.”

“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.”
“Andrew was fantastic! He was so detailed and he kept in touch each day. he really understood my difficult diabetic cat and made sure to show love to our other two. 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.
“Kyla did a marvelous job caring for my babies, which eased my mind & level of worrying when I was away. She even came through for me when it was difficult finding someone for a unexpected last minute trip that I needed to take approaching a holiday weekend. I will definitely look to use her services in the future & would highly recommend her ??”
About: have 6 months to a year of hands-on experience as a kennel attendant and dog handler, working with dogs of many sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I’ve handled strong and high-drive breeds such as Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and Dobermans, and I’m confident staying calm and in control in different situations. I do well with reinforcing basic commands like sit, stay, and leash manners, and I’m especially good with puppies, helping them learn structure, routine, and positive behaviors early on. I’m patient, observant, and always focused on the dog’s comfort and safety. I’m still learning and growing in my skills, but I take pride in building trust, reading body language, and providing consistent, respectful care for every dog. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m fully open on Thursdays and Sundays, which allows me to dedicate focused time to walks, drop-ins, and extended care. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I typically finish work around 2–3 PM, giving me good afternoon and evening availability. On Fridays and Saturdays, I’m usually available after around 4 PM. Because of this schedule, I’m able to be consistent, punctual, and flexible, whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or longer visits. I plan my time carefully to make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I maintain routines and reinforce basic training every other day to keep dogs mentally engaged and well-behaved.

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: Cats genuinely have my whole heart. I absolutely LOVE them and have such a soft spot for them, it’s honestly hard for me to see a cat without getting excited or emotional. 😭 Caring for cats never feels like just a job to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities, earning their trust, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their family is away. I understand that every cat is different. Some want to cuddle and follow you everywhere, while others would rather watch you from across the room until they decide you’ve earned their attention 😂. I never force interaction and will always respect your cat’s boundaries and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention and affection if your cat wants it. I’m also patient with shy, nervous, or cautious cats who may need extra time to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll care for your cat like they’re my own and send plenty of pictures and updates, because I know how important it is to know your baby is happy and okay while you’re away.
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.
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.

“Thanks for Barbara watching our girl we were able to enjoy some much needed R&R. Barbara was extremely flexible With drop off and pick up times. Our plans changed and she was always accommodating! Highly recommend her”
“Charley loves his days with Michael. Michael makes sure that Charley has a really good time. He takes him to a neat doggy park and sends me wonderful pictures of Charley having great fun. Michael has an enclosed yard and two other dogs, so that Charley has fun with them as well. A further benefit - I am in the process of getting ready to move and so it is really nice to know Charley is safe and having fun and comes home too tired for me to need to exercise him in the evening when I, too, am wiped out! LOL! Michael is most accommodating and I have already booked him for the next visit.”
“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”
“Dante had a great afternoon with Lisa and Timothy and their family! This was my first time booking on Rover, and it was an extremely user friendly and seamless experience! Thank you Lisa and Timothy for taking great care of Dante and opening your home to our pup! Look forward to our next booking!!”

About: I have had pets of my own my whole life and love animals. I have fostered for rescues. I have also helped out friends and family members with their pets when needed, providing walks, baths, play, etc. I DO have my own pets in my home, so your pet must be dog & cat friendly, thank you 💙 I am currently a stay at home mom (to children who have been around animals their whole life, love animals, and know animal safety.) so I have plenty of extra time to help out some fur babies. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am always able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and play time or whatever else you need me to incorporate or provide is not a problem.
“Great Care! Marci was fantastic and she even made my dog a personalized Bandana. My dog was well cared for and got enough exercise in her yard she slept the whole way home. Highly Recommend!”
“Karrie has been our beloved dog sitter for years. First time with our new dogs. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. They came back cheerful and tired! Usually they pull me up the staicase, this time I could keep up with them. They had a lovely time at the beach and Karrie showed us videos of them romping joyfully!”
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!
“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!”
“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’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.

“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”

I live in a safe neighborhood or can come to yours - wherever you and your pet feel more comfortable and will be sure they are cared for at all times.
“Kateri is the BEST! I was nervous about boarding our pup at first but I am so glad I did. Kateri provided updates, pictures and video's throughout the entire week we were away. She understands puppies can be a handful and still did a great job with our 5-month old pup Stella. Kateri has a HUGE fenced yard that provided plenty of room for Stella to run, play and of course have fun with Kateri's adorable 2 yr old dog Maze. They had so much fun together. So thankful we found someone so caring. We will definitely be booking again soon. Highly recommend Kateri.”
“Andrew is, without a doubt, the best we've ever used on Rover. We have a sometimes high-energy rescue dog, and Andrew was amazing with him. He was incredibly patient and kind, and he made us feel completely at ease start to pick up. He sent us frequent photo and video updates, showing our dog happy and relaxed, and we could tell he was being treated like family. We highly recommend Andrew and will definitely be rebooking with him for all our future needs!”
“Outstanding!!, Patricia and her husband were very kind and welcoming to our fur baby, she sent updates with pictures and that was much appreciated. We will definitely use them again”
“Jax had so much fun during his stay with Jared. I didn’t have time to miss Jax because of the constant updates and pictures that Jared sent me. I was so happy with how much attention and love he got. Jax is already looking forward to his next stay!”
“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 took wonderful care of my Honey. She kept me updated with texts & pictures. She took Honey on lots of walks, and even did an art project with Honey which she gave to me. I was very nervous having never left my Honey with anyone except my daughter. Lisa exceeded my expectations and I will be using her again and again! I am thrilled to have found Lisa! And I highly recommend Lisa!”
“This was our first time boarding our 1 year old puppy and Kristen was so great with her! Luna typically has very bad anxiety and she got acclimated quickly. Kristen was able to administer her daily anxiety medication and help with potty training. I felt so relieved knowing she was in such great hands while we were out of state!”
“Kim was amazing! My dog is a little anxious and has some quirks, it’s a little hard to gain her trust but Kim definitely did! We got pictures throughout the stay and she was extremely nice, I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Best and most caring family!!! They took such good care of Beau. They sent so many pics and videos! I don’t think he wanted to leave! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation!”
“Cindy took care of our 10 week old puppy and gave him excellent care. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. Cindy was easy to communicate with and very welcoming!”
“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.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience with dogs. I am a Marine Corps Veteran and former federal agent who has undergone training with multiple dogs throughout my lifetime. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and cues. I know it can be nerve wracking being away from your pet so I believe in photo and video updates to put your at ease that your friend is being cared for! I’m a disabled Marine Corps veteran and currently this is my calling! I am free morning, afternoon, and evenings as well as most weekends I have a lot of experience with animals. Have trained 2 service dogs in my lifetime and understand that your pet is a member of your family. I follow instructions to a T and believe in putting your at ease by sending occasional updates and photos/videos if requested.
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.
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.
