About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and it’s something that’s always come naturally to me. From playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need a bit more patience and care, I’ve had experience with all ages and personalities. Growing up, I regularly helped neighbors by walking their dogs or stopping by for drop-in visits while they were away. I also have a dog of my own who’s now 10 years old, so I truly understand what it means to provide consistent, loving care at every stage of life. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for Drop-In visits and dog-walking on Monday-Thursday: 8am-3pm and on Saturday: 8am-12pm. When it comes to dog walking and drop-in visits, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and any special needs before our first visit. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses. I will never let dogs off-leash unless it's in a fully enclosed area with your permission. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets the attention and care they’re used to—from playtime to potty breaks to just keeping them company.
About: I’ve had both small and big dogs all my life! Animals have always been around me or with me growing up so I am a natural at caring for pets. I have taken care of friends and families pets when there away or needed a hand! I absolutely love animals of all breeds, ages, and size! I am currently back down the shore for the summer! I live down in Margate until August. I am normally able to sit whenever but if not I am very communicative! I can bathe, feed, work on training, walk, play, and give your dog love while your away. I am great with animals of all ages and sizes! I have trained my dogs at home and provided them with a safe, happy, and loving environment all throughout their beautiful lives!
“So happy we found Shannon. Dogs loved her and she was so easy to communicate with!”

About: I'm a dog owner of 9 years, was gifted a puppy at 11 and since then I have treated it as if it my own kid. A day doesn't go by where I'm not with my fur ball. I have experience in brushing teeth, bathing and medicine intake. I'm comfortable walking around the neighborhood and beach/trail setting. Morning starts with taking dogs out for a morning walk or bathroom break. Throughout the day, I schedule playtime, walks, and check-ins based on the pet’s specific needs. I make sure to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable. Trust and a comfortable environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I ensure that pets have a secure, clean, and pet-friendly space with no hazards like toxic plants or accessible small objects. When boarding pets, I follow their usual routine, provide plenty of exercise, and give them a cozy area to rest. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow any specific instructions, and keep the pet’s environment as close to normal as possible. I always use positive reinforcement, monitor their behavior closely, and communicate regularly with owners to provide updates

13. Olga G.
“Olga is the perfect caregiver for your dog care needs. Olga is seriously the animal whisperer, dogs immediately are comfortable and calm with her. We have trusted our dog with her on many occasions and never have had anything to worry about. Our dog can sometimes exhibit separation anxiety with other sitters, but never with Olga. She knows exactly how to make a guest pet feel right at home with her. She has no pets of her own now, but her previous dog was incredibly well cared for and lived an extremely long happy life before passing on of old age. We would trust our dog with her for any length of time, no questions asked. Our dog loves staying with Olga and it’s no wonder why. Would 110% recommend.”
14. Joanna P.
“I had Joanna watch my slightly aggressive 3year old 100lb black German Shepherd while I was in labor and stayed at the hospital for a week. She was great and he loved her. She fed him, walked him, gave him his allergy pill, and snuggled him. He laid right by her and usually he lays in front of the front door waiting for me and my husband to come home. Will definitely use her again. My dog doesn’t like many people.”
15. Noel B.
“Noel is one of the best animal moms I have ever met. She loves those animals so much more than humans. She has made me go from being afraid of cats and dogs to loving them as well”

“Marina is a kind, caring, and responsible caregiver to my dogs and cat. She always goes the extra mile for my animals, bringing their favorite treats, giving them lots of play time, exercise, and working on their individual needs. One of my dogs is very reactive, and Marina has been wonderful with gaining his trust and working on his training each day. She is so patient and understanding with both of my dogs, they love her! She sends updates and photos throughout the day, so I am always in the loop and know my pets are well taken care of. I cannot imagine a better caretaker for my babies, and am truly grateful for Marina and her expertise!”
20. Matthew K.
“I can not recommend Matt enough as a dog sitter, he is naturally great with dogs and got along great with my dog.
