House Sitting Ocean Gate

“Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!”

“Amazing sitter! This was our first time having Veronica sit with them and our babies loved her. She was very attentive and communicative all day, sending pictures and updates on one of our older girls who has an injury currently. We absolutely would use her again and recommend her highly!”

I am Fear Free certified and have completed a course in Pet First Aid & CPR. My goal is always to maintain safety and comfort for your babies, and I always have treats to share with the pets I care for. I have cared for small and large dogs, from the littlest Chihuahua with the biggest personality to the goofiest gentle giant Bernie. I love cats, and will care for them like my own! I have experience caring for birds, bunnies, hamsters, reptiles, and guinea pigs! Here are some of the services I provide: - Drop Ins & Dog Walks: 30 minute visits 🥰 - Medication Administration (Including insulin injections & subacute fluids!) 🩺 - House sitting & overnight care (Extended Stays also available!) 🏠 - Experience with seniors, puppies/kittens under one year old, special needs pets, and multiple pets. 🫶🏻 - Day Trips to local parks 🏞️ & the beach. 🏖️ - Free bath for overnight care clients! 🛁 - Plant care 🪴 & mail retrieval. 📫 - Light housekeeping 🧹 & errand running. 🛒 I know the stress that comes from leaving your loved one with a new sitter or walker for the first time, so I would be happy to schedule a free meet and greet! I have very flexible availability, as I am a Psychology and Pre-Nursing student, and will work with you in any way I possibly can, even on short notice. Caring for your pets will always be my number one priority. I will be flexible to meet your needs and work with your unique schedule. I work on fostering a trusting, caring relationship with my clients. I am an open book, and the safety and security of your pets and your home is something I place incredible value on. Transparency and honesty is incredibly important for both me and you. I will care for your babies as if they were my own, because they’re family to me! In return, I just ask for honesty if you have cameras indoors. If you have questions or need extra reassurance, I am here for you. I know it is stressful and scary to trust a stranger with your family member, so I value getting to know my clients and offer meet and greets prior to booking services! 😊

About: Hey There! My name is Ashley and I am a pet enthusiast. I’ve had 20+ years of being around all types of dogs and cats and they are just the best! Why not let them get a little a little R&R while you get a little too! I personally have two dogs of my own that I love dearly. I have a lot of experience with clients who have large quantities of pets. So if you have more than one animal that needs to be taken care of that is absolutely okay! I think I will be the best fit for your animal sitting needs because who wouldn’t want someone so passionate about animals taking care of their very own pet? Look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently work full time early morning shift at the hospital. I get out early just in time for mid day to later evening sittings. I am available anytime during the weekend. I have a fenced in yard big enough for all the days play they will need! A lot of running around and fetch happen here so they don’t want to miss out!

“Tim was great with Checkers. He dependable and gentle with our little one, took care if her and played with her. She was happy to be with him. We are glad”

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.

“First time using Laura for house sitting. She took excellent care of both my Pickles and my home during my 7 day vacation keeping me updated regularly and sending photos every day. Will definitely be using Laura if I’m going away again.”

Lori D.

“Nicole watched our dogs for us last week while we were away and it was such a great experience. We loved all the daily updates and photos she would send us. It was so nice to be on vacation and not worry about our animals because we knew Nicole was taking such good care of them! We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Nicole goes above and beyond and truly loves your pets like they’re her own.”

Jessica W.

“Erin did an amazing job watching my dog while house sitting for two weeks. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house that was just as I left it. It gave me real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands while I was away. I’d absolutely trust Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.🐾🎉”

“Excellent job. Our dog was so happy with Antonio. Thank you.”

About: Growing up we always had dogs and or cats making me learn how to care for them at a young age. Having this love for animals lead me to work at a pet boarding business where I learned even more about how to care for animals. I am currently working a little under full time making my days off perfect for spending the day with your fur baby. Even on the days I work, I am always open to make something work to make sure your dog/cat is being taken care of. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I also have two cats that are friendly themselves. If this does not make you comfortable, I am more than happy to go to your house.
