“Elena was a hero today. She ran over to our house after Sammy destroyed a throw pillow. She was able to get it away from him before he could eat it. Elena is so good to Sammy and to us.”

About: I’ve been sitting, caring, playing, and watching dogs and cats for my friends and family for over 10 years. I also have two French bulldogs of my own.. and they are my best friends! I’m currently only working part time and my hours & days are extremely flexible! Even if you needed me the day of, I’m pretty positive that I can make it work. I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who truly treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Nicole is great! She set up a meet and greet with me and my dog Bella. I showed her around the house and Bella got to know her. She walked Bella for 4 days this week. She always keeps in contact and updates me exactly on how the walks with Bella go! She lets me know about other dogs and Bella’s reactions when on a leash (very helpful as I just adopted her). She is so clearly a dog person. She makes sure Bella has clean water and is even kind enough to bring in a package for me if it is on my porch. Even rewards Bella with treats. I will absolutely be booking walks with her again and recommend you do the same! Nicole adds the personal touch that you want when someone is taking care of your family member aka your pup! Thanks Nicole! See you soon!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, dog mom to my energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Boomer, and mom of three active kids, caring for others comes naturally to me. Our home and lifestyle are very active, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with lots of energy, big personalities, and different needs. I have experience with pets both big and small and understand how important it is to keep them safe, exercised, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, or dependable in-home care, I treat every animal like part of the family and care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. My schedule is very flexible thanks to my career in real estate, which allows me to adjust my day around client and pet care needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I create my own schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of time and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. As both a dog owner and mom, I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for a member of your family. I’m attentive, dependable, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always focus on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, crate training preferences, and any special care requests to help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have cared for pets of all ages and needs — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra attention. When my dog was diagnosed with cancer, I learned how to handle daily medical care, including cleaning and changing bandages, giving medications, and keeping him comfortable. That experience taught me patience, gentleness, and how important it is to make pets feel safe and loved. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog and cats while she’s away, making sure they get plenty of playtime, walks, attention, and snuggles. I also help care for my parents’ two bunnies. And now I have my own puppy, Max, who keeps me on my toes! 🐶 Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm and caring sitter, or someone comfortable with special needs, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. Oh, and I even have a few wild squirrels that visit me for peanuts… so you could say I make friends with all kinds of animals! 🐿️❤️ I work Monday to Friday from till 4pm, so I’m available to stop by anytime after 4pm. If you need more availability just ask! I might be able to work something out. My weekends are very flexible, making it easy to fit your pet’s needs into my schedule. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep doors and gates secure, and send updates and pictures so you know they’re doing well. 🐾🤍

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My house has always been a 2+ doggy house, and always rescues. That being said, I am no stranger to high energy mix breeds. I've experienced everything from resource guarding to pulling on a leash. I've cared for younger, jumpier friends to our senior friends. I am well versed working with dogs with special diets. One of my babies has severe allergies and has to stick to specific foods. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a good amount of time during the day to help out. I play in a band on the weekends, but the dates vary. I like to ensure that dogs get optimal outside/play time. If they need to be walked, I like to take them on long walks so they get good exercise and enrichment.

About: pets are family. I have experience caring for large dogs and know the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: make sure your pet is happy, exercised, and well cared for every time we’re together. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and already do every day. My schedule allows me to be dependable and consistent, and I understand how important it is for dogs to maintain their normal routine. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended care, I’ll make sure your pet receives the same level of attention and care that I give my own dogs. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, while keeping owners updated with messages and photos. Because every pet has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to get to know them and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra affection, I’ll make sure they receive the care that’s best for them. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

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).

About: I love animals I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Making sure every animal is loved is very important to me. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through planned, consistent time set aside for each pet’s needs. On a daily basis, I schedule time for feeding, providing fresh water, walks or exercise, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and giving attention, playtime, and companionship. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. On a weekly basis, I incorporate deeper cleaning of pet areas, restocking supplies, grooming as needed, and reviewing any special instructions from pet owners. I plan my schedule in advance to ensure pet care responsibilities are met reliably without interfering with other commitments. Pet care in my home and/or a client’s home is provided based on the specific service requested and the individual needs of each pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise, and routines. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their normal daily routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and offering companionship, playtime, and supervision. In my home, pets are kept in a safe, clean, and calm environment with appropriate supervision, regular feeding, exercise, and rest. I prioritize the pet’s safety, health, and emotional well-being at all times and communicate with owners as needed to provide updates or address concerns.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ocean Gate. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
