A Couple of Responsible Animal Lovers
Sarah was an excellent pet sitter--I truly couldn't have asked for someone more attentive to the cat's needs or to my being informed via photos and texts. They also left the apartment neat and clean, which was much appreciated.

Cool pet roommate of 15 yrs-been training for this app my entire adult life!
Erum was a fantastic sitter to my dog, Griz! I’m always worried when I leave him, but Erum put me at ease. She asked great questions during our initial visit, which showed her thoughtfulness and professionalism. Erum sent lots of photos, and gave me updates throughout the weekend. It was clear Griz was very comfortable during the stay! She also took care to leave the house clean, even washing the bedding. We recommend Erum for all house sitting needs, and would be happy to invite her back.

Daria was great! She sent pictures of our kitties every day we were away, and they looked happy and relaxed. She was very communicative, and we felt secure with our pets, and our home, in her care. Thanks Daria!!

Responsible Pet and House sitting couple. Animal lovers, non-smoking.
Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

Retired and ready to care for your home and pets!
Truly exceptional. She baked cookies, if you can believe it. Such a perfect sit for our beloved animals and the house was almost certainly cleaner than we left it. Can’t say enough positive things about Kathryn and her husband, Rick. Filled with gratitude!

Caring, conscientious, tidy professionals here to care for your pets and home
Super easy to communicate with, and they took fantastic care of our two dogs and our house. Could not be happier with the overall experience. Highly recommend Alexandra & Brad!

Nomad and Animal Lover Grateful to meet and care for animals around the world
I can only recommend Anika, she is definitely very gifted with pets, attentive to their needs and personality. She got very close to my cat in a short time and my cat was falling for her, as I could see from many cute pics they were sending me regularly. Anika was also very self-sufficient and communicative. The flat was tidy and in great condition and my cat calm and happy as a relaxed as a zen monk ☺️❤️

Deirdre stayed in our home for three weeks watching our cat. Deirdre is a clear communicator. We hopped on a call before confirming the sit and since that call we had confidence in her ability to watch our home for an extended period of time. During the stay we had a few unexpected house issues that needed attention. Deirdre was excellent at communicating the issue and coordinating with contractors as needed. Deirdre was also wonderful with our cat. Deirdre had questions about our cat's personality the first few days as she got to know him and I am glad she asked us. We received frequent pictures/videos and we came back to a stress free cat.

Responsible and honest housesitter here!
Everything I read about Marcus from his many many previous reviews was true. He took excellent care of Shadow & my home. His attention to detail in my welcome info was perfect and he sent me some images of he and shadow on walks each day. So thankful to have had Marcus here.
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

Diane, who answers the phone and questions, was so quick to respond and very helpful. Lois, the owner, was so easy to communicate with and understood our special concerns. Robin, our pet sitter, was amazing! She was on time (actually early each visit) and she was so very comfortable with our large dog Ocala. Robin was easy to communicate with, understood our concerns for our tempermental baby, and overall a GREAT pet sitter! We highly recommend Wiggles and Wags LBI ! To the point, that my husband suggested that we fly Robin into any of our vacation locations so that she can sit with Ocala! Thank you, Wiggles & Wags!
Lois was fabulous with training our pug puppy. Our puppy was taught how to sit, stay, touch and also did agility training. I would highly recommend.
Lois and her team took excellent care of our 2 big rescues while our daughter was getting married at The Sea Shell Resort in Beach Haven this past September. They stayed with our dogs at the hotel, while we attended the Rehearsal Dinner and the Wedding event the following day. We couldn’t be happier with their attentive, caring service. Our dogs were walked, fed and just plain happy! I was so pleased with the level of care that I recommended Wiggles and Wags to our wedding planners at the Sea Shell. BTW- we were 1st time customers. Highly recommend!!
We're experienced dog owners who had never used a trainer before. We now have a very sweet but stubborn :) Golden puppy and realized after a couple of months of trying on our own that we needed help. Lois came highly recommended by several people in a local group and we couldn't be happier with the progress she's made with our pup. Ruby now responds to commands, plays fetch and, most importantly, does not run out the door unless instructed to do so. She is always VERY happy to see Lois! We highly recommend Wiggles and Wags!
I can’t say enough about Lois and Amanda. Lois trained our crazy puppy Finn now he’s a much better pup. Both Lois and Amanda have dog sat at my house for visits and overnight - always giving updates on the dogs even pictures!
We can always count on Lois and Robin when we need someone to walk our dog Kira. They go above and beyond, including homemade treats and a personal summary of their visit. Look no further for the best dog walkers in the LBI area!
They truly love and care for the dogs they walk. My little dog is happy when they come because she is loved by them. I feel much better when I'm at work knowing my dog is happy and healthy because she is safe with professional caring walkers who really want her to be comfortable and happy.
Loved meeting Lois. A world of knowledge and my dog loved her!
Great service, people you can trust to care for your pets.
Lois treats your dog as if it is your own. She ROCKS
Lucky’s is the absolute best! We have been brining our pup here for doggy daycare for two years now and he loves it! He goes bananas just hearing the name Lucky’s and cannot control his excitement the second we arrive. It is a great feeling knowing your pup loves going somewhere and all the staff members are just amazing! 10/10 recommend Lucky’s Bed and Biscuit :)
My dogs are my children therefore I do a lot of research before sending them somewhere. Therefore Google reviews are so important!!! First I have two dogs one is a German Shepherd and the other is a Siberian Husky thus it makes it hard to find places that will take big dogs. When I stumbled across Lucky's Bed and Biscuit I loved the photos especially the video because I knew my dogs would be accepted. Then I started reading the Google reviews and I was really impressed! I make a trip to New Jersey once a year to take care of stuff for my dad this trip however was going to be different because my dogs couldn't go to a lot of the appointments that we had scheduled during my two weeks. I called during Memorial Day weekend to book my 10 visit package and my one overnight stay and was very excited to find out that my package included an extra day because of the holiday sale. The receptionist was polite and helpful on the phone booking my package, my overnight stay and helping me book my first two play days. Upon arrival for their first play day the receptionists at the front desk were helpful and made the check-in process easy and took their time answering my questions. The check out process was just as easy and I could tell upon picking up my dogs that they loved their day!! One of the things that I loved about this place is the extra packages that were available because this made it less stressful for me trying to find other places such as a groomer, so during my dogs stay I was able to get a brush out and I was also able to add a food package to their daily food to ensure that they were eating during their stay at the facility. Also I need to mention that one of the things that I loved was when picking up my dogs I was handed a summary of their day which help me because it told me how they played who they played with, if they ate along with how many times they went to the bathroom. As a parent it's important to have this because I am able to see if my dogs were stressed being there just by how they ate their food and how many times they went to the bathroom. I am so glad that I found this place and I'm excited for future trips because I now have a safe place for my dogs to go and have fun while I'm taking care of other things. PS I should add that in the mornings when the dogs saw I was getting dressed they would literally run to the door by their leashes and wait for me so they could go to Lucky's Bed and Biscuit!!!
My Bentley LOVES Lucky’s Bed & Biscuit! I wish I could bring him everywhere with us, but there are places that don’t allow dogs. I feel confident and worry free when he is at Lucky’s because I know he is well taken care of and having a lot of fun!
Obsessed with Lucky’s and will plan to use them every time we come to visit family in Beach Haven! We booked daycare with only a couple day’s notice and even scheduled a nail cutting service the same day without any issues. When we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional— To our surprise, we were also able to arrange to have our pup dropped back off in Beach Haven (and got to avoid so much traffic on a busy summer weekend)! Oh and the retail selection is amazing!! They have a HUGE assortment of toys, leashes, apparel and doggie treats. We also loved that he was returned to us smelling better than we dropped him off (even though we just had his nails trimmed)x Plus, getting a puppy report card so we got to know what he was up to all day was sooo cute and nice. Btw The hat we had to buy him didn’t end up fitting… but now we get to return it right at the Lucky shop in Beach Haven!
This is a truly elite facility. It is pricy, but you are absolutely getting what you pay for here. They will give you a tour of the facility and you should take it. They have a pool for the dogs and the rest of the indoor/outdoor areas are really nice. They will also pick up and drop off your dog if you’d like. We are not as high on the grooming they offer, but their doggy day care services are truly top notch. We wish this was closer to home!
Our dog loves Lucky's. Sh always comes home happy and healthy. They treat her like ther own. We wouldn't consider send her anywhere else
The best groomers around! Always so sweet and so patient and do a fantastic job! I use them for my pup and my parents who live up north (when they’re not in LBI) even drive down to have their dog groomed here. Fantastic group here! And our dogs ALWAYS look great!
My wife and I have been clients for approximately 18 years. We have brought two different dogs here, both cockapoos; Mocha for 5 years, and most recently Rocky for 13 years. When you call Lucky’s the voicemail advertises that they’re “where your pets are family.” They live up to that statement every day! Richie and the rest of their dedicated staff are wonderful with their clients and the dogs. Rocky has been in their “serenity suites” the past couple of years as an elder dog and was treated sin such a gentle and loving manner. We just laid him to rest on Friday at the age of 16 (we think), and I just wanted to thank them publicly for treating both of our dogs so wonderfully throughout the years. If we decide to become dog parents again, we will undoubtedly use Lucky’s! We recommend that you do the same.
Our 2 1/2 year old dog Mars had his first stay at Lucky's this past April. He is a rescue and we have had him less than a year. Our usual boarding facility was booked and an aquintance recommended Lucky's. I am very apprehensive about finding the right boarding facility since Mars has anxiety from being in so many foster situations, and also at times is fearful of other dogs. I found their Website to be promising, and their intake paperwork seemed very thorough to get to know him and be able to deal with him on an individual basis. Let me just say we had a wonderful experience at Lucky's and have booked them again! We received daily pictures of Mars with updates on how he was. In addition, if we had questions our emails we answered daily. Haley and assistant manager Taylor really put my mind at ease with their thorough communication. We also had him groomed their which I was really pleased with, they gave him a blueberry facial! He came home in great shape, was happy and had no problems! We even received a report card on his stay! Thank you Lucky's for doing a great job on a holiday weekend!
Always welcoming, well run and very positive experience at every client touch point. As an owner of a busy veterinary hospital I understand the team approach it takes to care for not only the furry client but also those at the end of the leash. Thanks for making my little girlfriends days in LBI a very enriched and rewarding day 😍😎✌️ …
My Dad suffered a stroke and we had to rush to find someplace for April,I live 3 hours away so we were searching hard for a kennel many said they could NOT help,Cranberry Creek was the ONLY one to help us,even though they were also very busy,they took in April. All the people there were OUTSTANDING!! I can't remember her name but she had white hair and glasses and she was very very helpful and always on top with communication and details. 1000% professionals all the way and their prices are awesome.
One of the best kennels in the area. Clean facility, compassionate staff and very knowledgeable.
Cranberry Creek is the BEST. Hands down. The owner and staff truly love animals, and this is completely evident in their care of both pets and humans alike. I am so very grateful to have been referred here by our vet, and even more grateful to everyone who treats my dog like one of their own. My pup actually gets excited about staying here, and gets plenty of playtime and attention!! I never feel like I have to worry about the quality of care he receives. Drop off and pickup are an easy and smooth process, calling to book is always pleasant - it honestly feels like I am leaving my dog with FAMILY and not a facility. This is both a reflection on the ownership and each and every individual that works here. I can't thank Cranberry Creek enough. If you're reading this and are unsure - call and ask to tour the facility! They're very transparent and are always eager to help.
Highly recommend Cranberry Creek, they are super professional, compassionate, and reasonably priced for the level of service they provide. We have two large and needy huskies and they provide the best care. We've been going there for over 5 years and from day one. They always treated our dogs like an extension of their family. It's like we're dropping them off to relatives so we have peace of mind.
Boarded our dog Finn for very first time and were very nervous about leaving him. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and he was very at ease when we dropped him off due to very friendly staff and calm environment. When we we picked him up we could tell he was well taken care of and happy. Can’t say enough about cranberry creek boarding!!
They took exceptional care of my dog while we were away. I checked in everyday and they were more than happy to talk to me and Megan even texted updates! Everyone we encountered was great. Thank you guys!
I couldn’t be happier with our first experience working with Cranberry Creek. After we met the staff and toured the facility, we had no hesitation to leave our pups. It felt more like “doggy camp” than “dog boarding”. In fact, I remarked that I’d like to camp there myself. We loved it so much that we already booked another overnight.
Friendly staff. Extremely clean. Beautifully designed and maintained very well. Prices are reasonable. Gravel car park. Great views. We would highly recommend leaving your dog or dogs here. We left 2 aggressive dogs here for a night, a wee bit apprehensive at first. No issues. I'd give them 15 stars if I could.
So grateful to have such wonderful people to help me with my puppy he is a handful and not happy with grooming but Tina does a beautiful job every one asked me where I take him and I am happy to share that thanks again Tina
Wonderful caring people. My dog who is blind took to them right away. The place is super clean. No smell of the dogs. Chance my dog and I say thank you very much for a temporary 🏡 home while I was away …
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this kennel! Previously took my 100lb lab/mountain dog mix to another trainer... trainer stated too difficult to work with come get him! I sought out Robinswood Kennels from their great reputation in the dog training community. BAM!! This was the BEST decision Ever! Left my dog MARTY there for 2 weeks.. coming back for intermittent training with a fabulous trainer Rick Mc each time. He not only solved many of our issues with Marty but helped us understand what we were doing wrong! The kennel was always clean when we dropped in unannounced which was important to us. A+ in my book!
We couldn't be happier with Rick and Desiree at Robinswood! We came to them a few months ago with our Pittie puppy who we found out in the middle of nowhere. Our baby, Bella, was extremely hyper, more hyper than your typical puppy, which is why we believe she was dumped. Bella would not listen to anyone, would bite and jump, typical puppy behavior, I know, but it was becoming a serious issue, especially the biting. She would act as a bully to my 5 year old Pittie and would send her into full-blown panic attacks. We decided to do the 2 week basic training which turned out to be the key to almost all of our puppy problems! We plan to complete the advance training in the fall! Not only is Robinswood good for training but they are also great for kenneling your dogs when you go away on vacation! Between training and kenneling, we've used them 3 times and we couldn't be happier! It's so worth every penny!!!
I brought my dog Max there maybe 11 years ago and Rick did a good job. Now it seems that Rick has retired and his trainers need training. I do not recommend his place anymore which is a shame. The master is gone and your dog may as well be trained at pets mart for 3 hours except you still pay the price of a professional dog trainer which your dog will not meet unfortunately.
Rick, Eric and Desiree did an amazing job with my 6 month old Giant Alaskan Malamute! He was stubborn would only listen when he wanted, was extemely mouthy the typical puppy behavior that was getting out of control. Takaani spent two weeks there and came back an extremely well mannered boy. The staff showed me what to do and how to continue his training that they taught him. I will be taking Takaani back for the advanced training. Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Lisa Worth
Dogs bark all night, not attended to at all. Wouldn’t leave my dog here even if it was free.
Great facility great people taking care of your family pet. Kennel is kept very very clean. Have had my GSD there for grooming, training and breeding. He was born and bred by the owner. We're hoping for pups in late spring, early summer
Our dog diesel is a bully breed who is very protective...but he lovessss it there!!
Trained our Doberman… made her perfect for our family.
What a great place friendly staff decent facility.
Love how they took great care of my baby!!
We love Lucky Dogs so much! They are absolutely the best in the business and in the area. My dog couldn’t be happier with all the love she gets from the staff. I feel comfortable every time knowing my dog is in the safest hands! They are …
Can’t say enough about lucky dogs boarding ! We boarded our 1 year old German shepherd for 10 days . We were nervous about leaving him for the first time but he got so much love and attention ! They gave multiple updates a day and we could …
I never felt so comfortable leaving my dog with someone! Being able to drop in on Trixie at any time of the day was great. We have had a pet sitter stay at our house with her before, but Lucky Dogs exceeded my expectations. I will …
