“Stacy and her family were so so so kind and loving to my dog Bella!! Bella is 19 months old so definitely still in the puppy phase and Stacy was so welcoming and loving to her! I had to go out of town for a few days and I got updates with pictures and she truly spoiled her! I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my Bella girl. Truly amazing at what she does!!!”
“I usually never leave reviews, but Julie and Kenneth have been the best thing to happen to us for puppy care. We were updated often throughout the day and throughout the duration of our Tater Tot's stay. I love that our puppy was able to have a playmate to socialize with and learn from, even while he was away from us and his usual training. It really broke my heart to leave him for the first time while on vacation, but now I don't feel the slightest bit nervous about leaving him with them for future vacations and I know Tater is also anticipating his next stay to see his little friend! He is definitely in great hands!”
“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”
“Karen was absolutely fantastic in taking care of our pup! She provided great updates and pictures of our pup throughout her stay, had a spacious and lovely backyard for playing and sunbathing, and gave us some flexibility on day of pick-up. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter”
“Brandy is awesome. My dogs loved staying with her and her family. She sent lots of update pictures and videos of my boys while we were gone. It was like they were on a vacation, too. I 100% would recommend her to anyone that needed to board their dogs.”
“Melanie is amazing! We had an impromptu trip to the beach and it was too hot for the doggo. She was super responsive and has the perfect place for dogs to go! Will use her again if I’m heading to the beach!”
“Tavonne was absolutely amazing! Very professional, reliable, and caring throughout the entire booking. I really appreciated the consistent communication and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet was well taken care of and happy when I returned. I highly recommend Tavonne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Shanae was professional, dependable, and incredibly caring with my dog. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly. When I returned home, it was obvious that my dog had been loved and cared for exceptionally well. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Shanae!”
“Reiniza was so sweet with Gus and gave tons of updates. He absolutely loved his time with her and her family while we were on a trip and was utterly spoiled. It was so nice knowing he was in good hands”
“Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.”
“Angela is the absolute best. She provided the best care and treated my dog like a king. My high energy dog came back so well behaved and incredibly well groomed, she treated him to spa days, made him amazing homemade health treats, stuck to his routine and provided me so many updates and pictures I was never left questioning his wellbeing. I almost don’t want to leave this review so I don’t have to fight for her care in the future. But she is honestly the best care giver. I don’t want anyone else watching my dog but angela at this point. 100/10. Thank you angela ❤️❤️”
“Absolutely amazing dogsitters! They took such a great care of my dog while I was away. I came home with an happy dog. Communication was great and they truly treated my dog like family.”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”
“I’ve taken my puppy to Nancy twice now and will continue to do so! He loves her so much that when I brought him back he dragged me to her door ❤️ Nancy also sends pictures and updates throughout the stay, she’s very reliable.”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Lisa provided daily updates and photos and I could tell Kali was relaxed, having fun, and getting spoiled with attention. She took such great care of Kali and treated her with so much love. Thank you so much for being so kind and welcoming Kali into your home, Lisa! Kali and I hope to book with you again in the future :).”
“Jeff and his family went above and beyond to make Lily, and us, feel comfortable. They treated Lily as if she were there own dog and provided periodic photos and updates. We would definitely use them again to watch our Lily!!”
“Ben and Shannon always do an amazing job watching Palmer! They are great at communicating and always send the cutest pictures to keep us updated. We know she is well taken care of when she gets to stay with them!”

About: From a very young age, my family had all kinds of animals. I have experience with many breeds of dogs, including Rottweilers, pit bulls, hunting dogs, and rescues, along with horses, pigs, a variety of birds, and hampsters, chinchillas, and a guinnea pig! I was a large animal vet tech (horses, cattle, goats and farm dogs!) before becoming a nurse, and I also grew up with a dog who had diabetes, and have helped several friends treat their puppies at home for Parvo. Also being a nurse, I'm very comfortable with giving injections, wound care, and coaxing your fur baby to take meds :) I work full time, but that still gives me 4 days off a week. I love to be outside and spend my time with animals, walking dogs is a great way to do both! I can be pretty flexible and early morning/late night visits to check on your critters aren't an issue at all for me. Hope to hear from you soon!
“Rhiannon is THE BEST!! Everything from doing a meet and greet, to confirming the time she was start to being flexible when we got a little delayed coming back with traffic, Rhiannon was nothing but super sweet and professional. She kept us updated with how our little feisty queen Jasmine was doing and she did win Jasmine over (albeit it was a short lived victory), since our feisty feline loves her alone time outside or cramming herself into a box. Rhiannon also sent us pictures to check and see what sort of minor shennangians this queenie was trying to get herself into. In all seriousness, Rhiannon did an amazing job to just watch out and keep our munchkin from either over eating or just running a muck while we were away. Highly highly recommend Rhiannon and will be requesting her in the future. She also left us a wonderful surprise by snapping some cute little instafilm polaroids of our beloved Jasmine being her silly self.”

“Tayauna provided extraordinary services when caring for my cat, Lily Rose, while I was away on a trip. As many of us understand, it is not easy to be away from our beloved pets. Taya helped give me peace of mind through the daily updates and photos. She went above and beyond to provide the best care for Lily, and she blessed my heart as well. When returning, Lily was so happy and I believe the quality of attention and care that was given to her made all the difference. Thank you so much Taya!

“Shyanna did a wonderful job housesitting and taking care of our two cats. This was my first experience using River, and hiring someone to sit that I had not met in person first. It could not have gone better. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who asked. She provided plenty of photos and updates on our little ones throughout the week. My cats warmed up to her so quickly! She clearly cares about animals.”

About: Most of my experience was mostly personal with the numerous animals I had when I was growing up. But I also have experience with other friends or families' animals. During that, I have taken care of the dietary needs of pit bulls to Dachsund. I am currently a student meaning I can have more time taking care of your animals as I only will have homework and no job I have gates all around my house to avoid certain rooms to ensure no animals gets in anything. I will also ensure safety on walks
“Devin is amazing! She came through for us when our original sitter cancelled on us last minute. She’s super thoughtful and took care of our kitties (and home) like they were her own. We are so thankful to have found her and will absolutely be booking her again in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home where there were always dogs and cats around, caring for them wasn’t just a responsibility, it was part of daily life. Over the years, I have personally raised and cared for three dogs of my own, each with different personalities and needs, which taught me patience, structure, and how to connect with animals on an individual level. Most recently, I adopted another dog into the family, adding even more joy and playful to the house. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have experienced it all training, playtime, feeding routines, crate care, walks, and of course, lots of cuddles. Whether your pet is shy or social, active or relaxed, we understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have a partner who has been pet sitting for her friends and co-workers last 4 years. I work at shipyard, but my work is pretty flexible that I can check out our dogs or any other pet frequently to make sure they receive enough attention love and most importantly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where dogs can relax and be themselves. I have a fully fenced big yard for safe outdoor play, and I supervise all interactions to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to crate preferences and bedtime habits — so they feel right at home. I never use harsh corrections; instead, I rely on positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance. I also keep my home clean, pet-proofed, and free of anything unsafe. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we make sure they always feel safe, respect. I will keep sending regular updates and pictures or videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands

“Brandy is an excellent dog sitter!!! I’m so grateful to have found her. She was quick to respond and immediately made me feel at ease. Milo went to her home for daycare and he did not want to leave!

I would highly recommend!”

My home is set up to be pet friendly, your pets will love the comfy couches and beds.
“We left our puppy with Dustin for a few hours so he could get familiar with Dexter before we board with him. It was our first time leaving him with other dogs around and was a little nervous. There was absolutely no need! Dustin is great. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and is very professional. Dexter seemed to enjoy himself and was nice and tired! We feel very comfortable with Dexter staying with him while we are away for 3 weeks. Thank you Dustin.”

Even though I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have plenty of experience caring for my own beloved pets and ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’m reliable, patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I would treat every pet with the utmost care and attention they deserve while you are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I love spending time with them and I am accustom to caring for them through my years of growing up with them. Including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time throughout the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my knack for attention to detail, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while keeping the space clean and tidy. I’m patient, attentive, and understand the importance of respecting and building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and well cared for.
“Alyssa was flexible with our crazy Navy scheduling and constantly sent funny/cute pictures of our pup while she let him out around lunch. Would highly recommend!! She will love your pup as much as you do!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. From my own dogs to now adding my wife’s dog. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I do work 8am-5pm so I can walk them early am before work or after work. I have two fur babies, Zoey and Bentley. I have had Bentley since he was 8 weeks and Zoey since she was 1. I'm truly a dog lover. They are family. We go on daily walks 2-3 times a day. We visit a dog park every weekend. I currently live in an apartment community so it is very important that I allow Bentley and Zoey to get as much exercise as possible.
About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of this year :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) OVERNIGHT 40 hours WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my overnight work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.
About: Hi! My name is Cali. I have had & taken care of dogs my whole life! I absolutely adore animals and will love them like they are my own. I have had small and large dogs, so I am very comfortable with any size. I am currently a full-time nanny for high energy twin boys. I work 7:40 - 4:30 Monday through Friday. I am completely free during most weekends. I live in a very quiet community so taking safe walks and being outside is stress free for pets. I can always crate your pet if needed

“Stacy and her family were so so so kind and loving to my dog Bella!! Bella is 19 months old so definitely still in the puppy phase and Stacy was so welcoming and loving to her!

It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly. When I returned home, it was obvious that my dog had been loved and cared for exceptionally well.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about wonderful Michele! Our anxious Shih Tzu can be very nervous around new people and changes in routine, but from the very beginning, she showed incredible patience, kindness, and understanding. She took the time to make Charlie feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and it truly made all the difference. We received updates, photos, and reassurance while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It is clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like family. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with anxious pets!”
