“This was the 1st time we had our dog stay with Lori and it was a great experience. She was easy to work with and our dog was well taken care of. We will certainly use Lori in the future to take care of our sweet puppy.”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about my pet sitters! They were so incredibly heartwarming and welcoming to my dog, Brooklyn, right from the start. They truly took care of her like she was their own, and that made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The daily pictures and updates they sent were fantastic, and it was clear Brooklyn was having a blast. They even gave her extra toys and showered her with the utmost love. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch my dog, and I appreciate them so much!”
“Pat is wonderful. Her love for dogs comes through from the first few minutes of talking to her. I appreciated how thorough and prepared she was for our visit and my last minute request to sit for us as we came through Atlantic City on a road trip down the East Coast. Everything was perfect! We’ll be back next time I’m in the area!”
“Another great stay at Andrew’s! My flight times changed on both ends and Andrew was graciously flexible. Sadie gets top notch care in a homelike environment wish toys and friends, both canine and human.”
“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.”
“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. :)”
“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 was very responsive and sent pictures everyday so I could see Georgia. She also plays fun treat games with them which I know the dogs love. Overall I would recommend Lisa for your pet she is reliable, extremely responsive and easy to work with overall.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“couldn’t be happier with the care Marci provided for my dog while I was away. From our first communication, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in getting to know my dog’s needs and personality. Throughout the entire stay, Roxy was clearly in good hands. Marci also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Marci to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and responsible. I’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Denise is awesome! My little Chi was not so great the first time I left her but Denise was willing to work with her and the 2nd time she stayed with Denise there were no issues, she was very happy to stay there. I really appreciate Denise's willingness to work with her. She has a lovely yard also and my little girl loves it!”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages at a shelter, I’m good with all ages and work with the dogs at their comfort versus having them conform to what I want them to do. I’ve administered medication to dogs both older and younger and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make you feel at ease about your dog being left with me. I am currently in school from 830-3 I can provide care from 330 and beyond depending on what you need. Weekends I am home all day and if your dog enjoys it I can take them hiking to the park ext. As I do live in an apartment that isn’t fenced in I can’t let them run around In a yard, but I have plenty of space to walk dogs or run with them if they like as I am very active. If I am in your home I will make sure your dog feels as safe as possible with me being there as well as providing you comfort.
“Kim is the best!! She sent us so many updates & pictures, and took extra care of Winston during the thunderstorms! You can tell she truly cares about your pups and we will definitely be booking her again. Winston didn’t want to leave and I think he’s still sad he had to leave his vacation home 🤣 Our whole family is so excited that we found such a trustworthy sitter on the island! Thanks again, Kim!”

“Adrienne is AMAZING!! As soon as I met her she was nothing short of a ray of sunshine. She took care of my kitty so well everyday I was gone, sent me so many pictures and kept me updated with every visit on what she did, and how he was doing. I will absolutely be rebooking with her 🤗💛”
“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.”

About: I have been around cats since I was 4 years old. My godmother had a cat named Meow Meow who was my favorite. All my best friends have cats who I love to pet and hang out with on their (the cats) boundaries.
“Andrew cared for our 7 cats for 8 days, two visits daily, and did a great job. He had to clean five litter boxes, change five water bowls and a fountain, feed different diets and even give medication twice daily for one of the cats. He sent us photos, communicated as needed and kept up with keeping the boxes refilled and sweeping up excess litter. He brought in mail and packages too! Will definitely book with Andrew 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.

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.

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.

Thank you Lisa and Timothy for taking great care of Dante and opening your home to our pup! Look forward to our next booking!!”
“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 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.

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.
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!
“Victoria is a terrific host, very good communicator, got several photos and videos throughout my dogs stay. I was very comfortable leaving my pup with her. Thank you again for your hospitality and hosting Bree.”
“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: 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. ??”
“Kateri was hands down the best Rover that I’ve ever had my dog Pumpkin visit ❤️. She was super communicative, understanding with my timeline, provided lots of pictures, and gave me the CUTEST report card when I picked up Pumpkin. Highly recommend to anyone!”
“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: Since I was a child, dogs have always followed me around. I grew up with many dogs of different breeds, so I’ve been fortunate to gain a lot of experience with these beautiful four legged friends. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and reliable. We can also arrange long term, consistent schedules. My door is always open. My backyard is a place where friends with pets love to hang out, and it’s currently going through a bit of a lawn revival. Not far from here, there’s also a dog park where they can run freely and make new friends. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets the attention they deserve throughout the day.

“This was the 1st time we had our dog stay with Lori and it was a great experience. She was easy to work with and our dog was well taken care of. We will certainly use Lori in the future to take care of our sweet puppy.”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about my pet sitters! They were so incredibly heartwarming and welcoming to my dog, Brooklyn, right from the start. They truly took care of her like she was their own, and that made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The daily pictures and updates they sent were fantastic, and it was clear Brooklyn was having a blast. They even gave her extra toys and showered her with the utmost love. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch my dog, and I appreciate them so much!”
“Pat is wonderful. Her love for dogs comes through from the first few minutes of talking to her. I appreciated how thorough and prepared she was for our visit and my last minute request to sit for us as we came through Atlantic City on a road trip down the East Coast. Everything was perfect! We’ll be back next time I’m in the area!”
“Another great stay at Andrew’s! My flight times changed on both ends and Andrew was graciously flexible. Sadie gets top notch care in a homelike environment wish toys and friends, both canine and human.”
“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.”
“Lisa was very responsive and sent pictures everyday so I could see Georgia. She also plays fun treat games with them which I know the dogs love. Overall I would recommend Lisa for your pet she is reliable, extremely responsive and easy to work with overall.”
“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.”
“Kim is the best!! She sent us so many updates & pictures, and took extra care of Winston during the thunderstorms! You can tell she truly cares about your pups and we will definitely be booking her again. Winston didn’t want to leave and I think he’s still sad he had to leave his vacation home 🤣 Our whole family is so excited that we found such a trustworthy sitter on the island! Thanks again, Kim!”
“My dog had an awesome time with Kateri and the rest of the pups! Very flexible and easy to work with, and Niko had so much fun!! Fenced backyard was a huge plus and I felt at ease leaving Niko with her!”
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.
“Kristen was one of the best sitters my pup has had. Her and her family took such good care of Mochi. Mochi had so much fun and felt at home. Kristen sent me many pictures and updates throughout the long weekend which I loved. She was flexible with changing the pickup time too. Highly recommend!”
“Blanca took wonderful care of our 2 pups. She sent us pics and updates was flexible with pick-up and drop-off hours. They were at ease right away and seemed to have plenty of time to go out and secure space to runa nd spend some energy. Would not hesitate to board our pups with her in the future.”
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.

I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and positive interaction, and I ensure pets are always supervised and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal environment to reduce stress, while providing reliable and consistent care.
“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!”
“Jared and his family were great to our dog Ollie. This was the first time we had someone outside of our family and friend group watch our dog. Jared made sure Ollie was exercised, well fed, and loved. He even sent photos and videos of him through out the day. Would highly recommend and plan to be a repeat visitor!”
