BETTY


Hello, I’m Betty. I have always felt a connection with animals and have shared my home with hunting and show dogs but my specialty and passion lies specifically with cats and birds. The crew calls me the Cat Whisperer! I’ve attended numerous Pet Sitters International conferences where I take continuing education classes in cat care, bird care, pet nutrition and geriatric pet care. I have also furthered my pet care education by taking additional seminars in pet nutrition, have extensive training in cat behavior as well as parrot care. I have attended the Pet Industry’s trade show as well to keep up to date on the latest products for my clients. In 2016, I also became Zoo Sitters' Marketing Director, responsible for all marketing efforts in both Atlantic and Cape May Counties. I still pet sit for my cat clients in Cape May County as well.

KATHIE


Hi, I'm Kathie! A resident of CMCH and Wildwood Crest for nearly 20 years, I am originally from West Chester, PA, where I received a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in Psychology. Married with one son, I am an animal lover to the core. My 100 pound lab and Maine Coon cat can attest to that! From an early age, through my teens, I worked on various farms, riding and caring for horses and livestock, always returning home to a resident dog and several cats. I came on board with Zoo Sitters in 2017 but prior, I worked for many years as a recreation therapist and a marketing and admissions director within long-term care and rehabilitation facilities. I also served as the board secretary at Cape Christian Academy, assisting with their admissions and development. While I consider myself a people person, I've always been happiest in the presence of animals, my first love. Walking my dog Indy is the highlight of my day. Both of us, happy to be outside, getting exercise, we cover a lot of ground, usually over 3 miles. In spite of this busy regimen, I have plenty of energy and enthusiasm to go the distance walking or caring for your dog with the same passion and devotion.

KENDRA


Hi, I'm Kendra! I have lived in Cape May County my entire life and currently live in Green Creek with my sphynx cat, Jacques, calico cat, Lola, and senior yorkie, Mickey. I have an immense love for animals and all living creatures. I have a soft spot for senior and disabled animals. If space and cost did not matter, I would want to adopt all of the 3 legged, 1 eyed, senior dogs and cats that too often get over looked in shelters. My dream is to one day be a marine biologist. I love the beach and summer time. I’m a huge Disney fan. I enjoy practicing yoga and drinking coffee. I’ve worked at a local police department for the last 12 years, currently as the Administrative Assistant. I look forward to taking care of your babies and providing you with peace of mind when you can't be home with them.

KIMBERLY


My name is Kimberly and I live in Wildwood Crest. I moved here in 2007 from Manassas, Virginia with my husband and our 2 cats and fish. As a child, our home always had some kind of “fur running around” as my mother likes to say. Most days consisted of waking up with a kitty fast asleep in my bed, taking the dogs for a walk, and calming down a squawking green amazon parrot until I shared with him whatever I was eating at the time. I was born and raised in Conshohocken, PA where I had the challenge of walking our 3 dogs up and down steep hills through all kinds of weather. I loved every minute of it! I also have a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science and work in the Clinical Laboratory at Cape Regional Medical Center. I am a volunteer with Friends of Cape May Wildlife Refuge and I participate in various charity walks. When I am not working or volunteering, you can usually find me walking the beach, riding my bike, or gardening. I am excited to be able to bring to you my love of dog walking and pet sitting. I've had extensive training in loose leash dog walking techniques and pack management.

LEETTE


Hi, my name is LeEtte and I'm a Zoo Sitters Field Manager. Originally from Warminster, PA, I moved to Cape May County in 2001. Animals are, and always have been, my purest joy in life! After nearly 10 years in the cleaning and hospitality field, I woke up one morning and realized that the brightest part of my work day was enjoying the company of my clients' pets while I cleaned up after them. My circle of animal friends and family include dogs and cats of all sizes, parrots, chinchillas, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, hermit crabs, turtles, lizards, and fish! My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian and live on a farm with my small army of large breed dogs. I have every intention on furthering my pet education. Your pets safety and well being are my first concern, but earning their trust and friendship is also immensely important to me! I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and making your day a little less stressful.

Client Testimonials

“

After reviewing the website testimonials, I realized I knew someone that used Zoo Sitters! I was impressed with Vanessa's knowledge and her interactions towards my new German Shepherd. I have full confidence that my Vysis is well taken care of, plus communications are quick. Vanessa answers questions and offers suggestions that have helped with training. I most highly recommend Zoo Sitters!

Jeanne Kovach

We trust Zoo Sitters more than ANYONE to care for our pets when we're away. With Zoo Sitters, I know my pets are in capable hands and they always go above and beyond the duties you would normally expect from a pet sitter. Their services are worth every penny!

Lynsie Patterson

On our recent family vacation to Cape May NJ, we contacted Zoo Sitters. Kimberly was a professional who took care of our dog while we were out sightseeing. She arrived on time, reviewed our requirements and provided feedback at the end of the sit on how it went. Our dog loved being with Kimberly and we were very pleased with her service.

Carol Negri

Vanessa and her team are very professional, incredibly responsive and detail oriented. I had a last minute request that Vanessa handled in a very proactive manner. Everything from the initial contact through the notes after each interaction with my pet were done with great care and attention to detail.

Bill Mulholland

The visit notes detailed every action and the photos assured me she was not hiding. The prompt return of anxious calls were greatly appreciated. Now, we are considering another trip because of the competence and care of Zoo Sitters

During Hurricane Sandy, Zoo Sitters scheduled additional services for our cats and even moved our deck furniture and plants out of harms way. They are all so kind and understanding. Their work ethic is phenomenal! Our cats are fortunate to have such caring sitters. We love the notes covering the sits!

We could not have made it through Hurricane Sandy had it not been for you.... your patience, persistence, creativity... a sense of calm in the face of uncertainty... we knew our babies were being well cared for. Thank you!

Carole Halper

We can not speak highly enough of the quality of this service. Our sitters are very thorough about the animals’ routines and their needs. They paid special attention to the little details that we would have overlooked. Vanessa and Zoo Sitters are a great bunch of pet loving individuals. After using this service since 2008, I am more comfortable leaving my pets with them, than my own family

Pete Reiss

Zoo Sitters are angels sent to help care for and love your pet! Our pups are well-taken care of and loved each day with their daily dog walk. Before beginning, our sitter met the pups, took a thorough history, and ensured that she new their routine. With each visit we get a note which our family can't wait to read about their visit! The best part is that we know the love, attention, and excellent care they receive. Vacations are possible without worrying now. Vanessa is trustworthy and dependable along with running a well-organized business that provides professional service.

Glenn and Brenda Douglass

This is the BEST pet sitter service I've ever run across. Very professional and GREAT with all the pets!!! All the pets get so excited when Zoo Sitters arrived. This service was a real life saver too...during "Sandy" I was in Hospital and they rescued my pets getting them out of harms way. I LOVE them!!!!

Holly Reeves

Zoo Sitters - The absolute best. If you have to leave the dogs home, you can trust Vanessa and her team. True professionals and caring people.

Ray Zaccardi

My dogs mean the world to me and I am very picky about who cares. From the moment I met Vanessa, I knew my dogs would be in the very best hands. She asked all the questions I would ask if I were caring for someone's pets and then some! The Zoo Sitters crew are beyond caring and professional. They really got to know my dogs. When two of my dogs became older and ill, Vanessa and her crew went above and beyond to make them feel cared for and secure. I recommend Zoo Sitters to anyone who needs to know that their pets are in good hands!

Sharon Beres

Thanks, Vanessa, for helping me grow my business in North Carolina. You are always eager to offer suggestions. Your wisdom and experience are priceless. I am not surprised to see so many glowing reviews on Facebook praising you and your team. You are a shining example for your fellow pet sitters.

Jeanne Crockett - Crockett's Critter Care

We are so grateful to have found the Zoo Sitters. After returning from our first overnight away with Betty caring for them, we found three very relaxed and mellow kitties. We have used Zoo Sitters many times since then, and the results have been the same - happy cats. The attention to detail is outstanding. We love reading about the antics of our sweet babies in the notes too. Zoo Sitters are the best!!!

Amy Ruff

Leaving my 4 cats for a few days is always difficult but Zoo Sitters gives me the ability to travel with comfort and confidence knowing my babies are well taken care of. I like knowing that for your staff, pet sitting is their job (and their passion!).

Carol Kerewich

I can't recommend Zoo Sitters any more highly. Not only were my treasured three pets well cared for and exercised, but my house was neat and clean when I returned. My plants were watered and mail taken in. The notes on visits with photos were heartwarming and engendered such peace of mind! It was like a dear and trusted friend had taken over for me. I can't imagine considering anyone else to take care of our crew when we go away.

Jacque Weiss

Vanessa and her crew do a fabulous job! We have a new kitten in the house and I was concerned about what he and his brother would do to each other and the house! No worries as all was taken in stride! It is important to build trust with a client and Zoo Sitters earns that from the start. I am a fan!

Do not hesitate to use their service. It is the best care I've ever had for my dog.

David Hagan

Zoo Sitters have met and exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend them to care for your furry friends.

We were right!! Actually, our babies look for them long after we return.

Zoo Sitters are both professional and knowledgeable regarding our pet. I would highly recommend them. So does my puppy. It nice to know that there is consistency with pet care giver and your pet gets to know them and love them. I am sure my puppy looks forward their visit.

Alice Bertelsen

We were in Cape May Point for a wedding and decided on Zoo Sitters to care for our pet on the wedding day. From my first interaction with Vanessa and reading the website, I felt very confident in my decision. They came twice on the day of the wedding and thanks to the great website we were able to leave detailed instructions about our puppy and our preferences. We wish Zoo Sitters could be with us in our hometown!!
