House Sitting in Dares Beach

“We felt very comfortable with Nikki watching our dogs. She took such good care of our pups, and took extra time to send plenty of pictures. She even set up a dinosaur adventure for my boys to find when we got home!”

I’m currently working part time due to school this upcoming semester. Most of my classes are online so I spend a lot of time at home. I make frequent stops at home during the work day as I’m only 10 minutes from home to let my dogs out of my parents aren’t home. I have an electric fence however dogs would be put on leash. My cats have all their necessities in my room so the pet I would be pet sitting for would stay in the guest bedroom in the basement with me to avoid troubles.

“I have nothing but good things to say. Took care of my Atti like she was family. She will be so happy to go back in a couple weeks to play with Blaze again!”

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

About: While working in a dog shelter, I cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, including administering medications. I have also volunteered for the past two years at an animal shelter, assisting with the care, handling, and enrichment of both dogs and cats. I currently work as a dog groomer, where I continue to build hands-on experience in animal care, behavior, and handling while prioritizing each dog’s comfort and well-being. I’m currently a part-time groomer’s assistant, so I have plenty of time to love your fur babies! My schedule is easily adaptable to fit the routines that they already follow to avoid disruption. In past job and volunteer trainings, I’ve received extensive training on canine and feline body languages, how to respect them, and how to safely build trust before things like leash walks, crate time, or play.

About: Hi I’m Lindsay! I love spending time with our extroverted dog Zoomy 🐾 and with my cousin’s two cats Windex 🐈 and Squirt 🐈‍⬛. Zoomy would love to have some friends come over to play. I am a super responsible and clean person and would love to care for your fur babies while you’re away! Right now I have very flexible scheduling so send me a message! I can do daytime hours or evenings, just let me know. I’d be happy to work with you and your schedule. We have a big yard with an invisible fence for your dog to run around. Plenty of space inside the house to play too! I will make sure to give your dog plenty of water and potty breaks and meticulously follow any instructions you leave me!

“Anna was awesome! She provided updates and responded to any inquiries within minutes. We've already rebooked her, just waiting on a response.”

“We could not have left our dog, Waldo, in better hands than Stacey's! Stacey feels like family and Waldo felt that, too. We're grateful for her photo and video updates and attentive care. We strongly recommend Stacey!!”

About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own! Pet care fits beautifully into my current schedule. I’m seeking flexible work that keeps me close to home so I can care for my four cats and continue pursuing my passion for baking. My days are open and adaptable, and I love spending time with animals. I’m currently available most days and times, and I genuinely enjoy being outside for walks or tending to pets’ unique needs. This work is a natural extension of my lifestyle. I treat all pets like family, tuning into their needs with care and calm energy. Whether in my home or yours, I create a peaceful, loving environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, maintain clean spaces, and follow feeding or medication routines exactly. My four cats are well-loved and cared for, and I bring that same intention and presence to every animal I care for.

“We absolutely love Leah!! She's so good with our dogs. Very punctual and responsible. She stays over with our two and leaves or home just the way we left it.”

“This was our first time ever using Rover, we usually leave our pets with a trusted family member or friend, and we are beyond impressed with our experience with Shemoy! Shemoy is just the sweetest; she sent several photos, including one holding our cat Alice who never warms up to any strangers! We will definitely be using Shemoy again and highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”

Tabatha G.

“Elizabeth was attentive to Daisy's needs per the 'care & feeding' instructions we provided. Just as importantly, she treated Daisy as if her own, which was apparent by Daisy snoozling on Betsy's luggage as she prepared to leave.”

About: Hi! I’m Rosie — a lifelong animal lover and rescue-pet mom to one sweet pup and two cats. I’ve had pets since childhood and have always been drawn to helping animals who need a little extra love. I volunteer with a local shelter to support dog and cat socialization, and I also work with an island-dog rescue that brings pups from Puerto Rico to find their forever homes in the U.S. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings, with flexible weekends to ensure your pets get consistent, loving attention. In my home or yours, I focus on routines that build confidence and trust. I use gentle reinforcement, reward-based training, and plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime to help pets feel secure.
