“IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great. She rcommunicated after each walk and took some cute pictures as well. I was able to have fun on my day trip knowing that Molly was there to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her again.”

I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pet!! I love to go on walks, runs, or take your pup to the beach! I love to be active so any activity that permits dogs I WILL be taking them !!! If I am laying around my house, my dogs are on my lap and we’re hanging out together.

About: Your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how hard it can be to step away. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your dog’s unique personality, whether they need extra patience, steady structure, or just a calm companion. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every dog with the same love, vigilance, and gentle care I give my own. You’ll get clear communication and daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. Because I have a flexible schedule with dedicated evening and weekend availability, pet care isn't something I squeeze in—it’s a central part of my day. Mornings & Daytime: I keep a predictable daily rhythm, allowing me to stick precisely to your dog’s established feeding, walking, and potbreak schedules without rushing. Evenings & Weekends: My peak availability is during evenings and weekends, making me a reliable choice for dinner feeds, bedtime routines, long weekend walks, or overnight stays when you need to be away. Dedicated Attention: Whether I’m visiting your home or providing house-sitting, your dog receives consistent, undivided care. I plan my routine around their needs to ensure they get plenty of exercise, companionship, and low-stress downtime. In My Home: Friendly Companionship: I have two friendly dogs who love new playmates and a fully fenced-in yard for safe, outdoor play. Flexible Options: If your dog needs crate time for resting or sleeping, I can easily accommodate their usual routine. In Your Home & On Walks: Home Security: I treat your home with total respect—locking up securely, keeping spaces tidy, and following all house rules. Safe Walks: I use your preferred leash/harness setup, stick to secure routes, and monitor pavement conditions to protect sensitive paw pads. Strict Safety: I follow your specific feeding and treat instructions—no unapproved foods, ever. You’ll get regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe, happy, and well-cared for!

“Nicole looked after my pup a few days this week and I could not have been happier! She was very accommodating with specific requests I had and she did not mind staying over a few min to make sure my pup finished her meals. She sent plenty of pics of their walks and updated me frequently. She was a pleasure to hire and I will definitely be booking her again for future walks.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I understand the unique needs of each dog and tailor my approach to fit their personality and routine. I am skilled in creating a safe, comfortable environment, managing feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of exercise, play, and mental stimulation. I genuinely care about each dog’s happiness and well-being, ensuring they receive all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m currently working full time. I am available on the weekend so pet parents can get a nice little get away and nights as well. Caring for pets mean that involves adapting to their individual needs and environment. In my home, I provide a safe, maintain routines, give playtime, and keep owners updated with photos. If in the client’s home, I respect their space, follow the pet’s usual schedule, secure the home, and communicate regularly. In both, I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized care for the pet.

About: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that. Any other questions about me are always welcome:) I am currently home and available at all times! I pick up my kiddos from school at 3 and we are ready to help your furry friends with any of their needs! I have two friendly dogs who love company and two kids to help get their energy out we live on 5.5 acres and love to go for leashed walks along the property!

About: I have had many pets since a young child and also helped my mom rehabilitate injured or newborn animals. My family has relied on me for pet sitting and dog walking. I trained my dog Darla from when she was a puppy and have always had a strong love for animals. She has since passed and have 2 dogs named Willow and Pixie. I also have 6 chickens in a chicken coop in my yard. I am currently available full time from Monday through Friday and am open to sitting on some weekends. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I do have a fenced yard and have a dog door that can be locked if needed. Also I have 2 dogs and one cat in the house.

About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life whom I loved and took care of well through all stages of their lives. I’ve worked with dogs on basic commands and cared for my dog that passed from years of cancer. Most of my care was toward my own pets, but I love all animals! I am currently home for the summer, and I have a pretty open schedule to walk, check in on, and pet sit! My schedule is very flexible to work with whatever time I’m needed. I have a fenced in yard with grass, as well as a pool in the backyard. I no longer have any pets of my own, but many toys!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, as I grew up with 2 dogs. I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, walks and playdates. I also have experience with reactive dogs, where I can keep them safe during walks with patience. I currently work in a mostly freelance and remote environment. I am flexible and I communicate well about my schedule for accommodating your fur friends. I treat every pet at home as if it were my own. I make sure to follow instructions precisely and with care. I make sure to double check that fences are closed and doors are locked. Pet safety is a top priority. I have a lot of love for what I do and that shows in my work.

About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

About: Hello! I have been an avid animal lover my whole life. I chose to pursue my dream of caring for animals and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Zoology. Having been an animal care specialist at a wildlife safari for several years, you can expect all of your animal's needs will be met to the highest standard. I am trained in administering medications (injection and oral). While not a certified dog trainer, I have experience training a variety of different species. Your precious pooch will be staying in a ground level apartment with access to a yard. Endless adventures and cuddles will keep your pet happy and content while being away from their owners. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. I am not currently working so being that I am home all day, I am available to tend to your dogs needs 24/7! Walks, potty breaks, play time, I will be on your dogs schedule and can send you updates as many times a day as you request. Your pets safety and comfort is my highest priority. In my home they are free to roam where they would like, while outside they will always be leashed. If they feel more comfortable having a crate in home we can arrange to have that for them as well.

About: I have taken care of a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents) my entire life, and currently have two pugs named Cookie and Waffles. I have also worked in a doggy daycare. I am comfortable providing all kinds of care including walking, grooming, watching, feeding, giving medication, and more. I currently am working per diem as a nurse aid, I just finished school and will hopefully be starting my first nursing job in a couple-few months. For now I have the summer open while I am studying and applying to jobs. That being said, my schedule is very flexible and I would be happy to include caring for your pet into it! I currently cannot care for additional pets in my home as I live with others. However, I am open to caring for pets in a clients home. I would like as informative and detailed a description of how clients would like their pets cared for, and plan to follow those instructions completely. I have experience with a variety of pets from dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and birds, ranging from young to old. I have the most experience with dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for a few months, so I am familiar with the personalities and care of different breeds. My dogs (Cookie and Waffles) have both had health issues in the past, so I have experience with giving oral medication. I also have basic grooming experience, mostly bathing, ear/face care, and nails (if pet allows, my girls unfortunately need a whole team to get their nails done).
