About: Hello, my name is Judy and I'm a dog lover! I have been taking care of dogs for 10 plus years. I'm a very patient and caring person. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom house in Ocean Gate NJ. We both love taking the dogs out for long walks and to the beach. We love taking the dogs to the park too. We can go on as many walks as need be. We will treat your dogs as if they were our own. We can also administer medications if need be. If there are special requests for anything, we will accommodate. Let us watch your pups and you will be happy you chose us! PS- belly rubs and kisses are free of charge!

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

About: Experienced pet sitter reactivating my profile due to new flexible schedule! I’ve cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from senior dogs to active puppies. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats in total (including one blind + deaf senior dog). With one indoor cat currently, I really miss having dogs around! I’d love to care for your pet while you’re away, or show them some love with a walk. It would make me just as happy as it makes them. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available and ready to care for your beloved pet, whether it’s a cat or dog! For pet sitting, I will ensure your pets belly is full, is given a walk and plenty of water, will be let out to go potty, and will get plenty of attention while you’re away!

About: I've taken care of multiple dogs in a household, where I fed, walked, and bathed them and made sure they got their fun in as well. Currently working a full-time job, but will be more than happy to provide any after work activities for your dogs in the chance schedules change. I currently have an apartment but can make it a dog friendly environment for a daycare situation. Caring for pets at a client's place during a drop in will be simple as it needs to be depending on what the client prefers.

About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs to take care of as well as helping friends with their pets. If someone was to take care of my dog, I’d want them to be loving, responsible, and friendly and that’s exactly how I’d be with your pup! I’m here to help you out, so you just have to let me know when :) I work full time 8-4, Monday to Friday. Any time after my work hours I can help. And I can do any day or time on the weekends if I’m available. If you have a fence, I’m triple checking that it’s locked before we play outside. And making sure their bed is as comfy as mine is only fair!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, not only my own but friends and family as well, through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. My long-term goal is to become a veterinarian, and I’m currently training to become a veterinary assistant/tech while continuing my education in animal medicine. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, not just a side job. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy pets, and multi-pet households. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I work at a veterinary clinic around 4-5 days a week, with most days being pretty flexible hours. I’m available for walks, drop in’s and house sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for pets. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With my veterinary assistant training and future career goals in veterinary medicine, I pay close attention to animal behavior, health, routines, and stress levels. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and handling pets calmly and patiently. I will always treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care.

Matt was an excellent dog walker. I received pictures from his walk and my dog sat at the door waiting for him. When Matt got here the dog wiggled all over so excited to see him. I would highly recommend him, very personable, very professional and very kind to my dog.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I've worked with dogs of all personalities - from high energy pups that love long walks to more laid-back or senior dogs who need patience and extra love. I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and always do so with care to keep pets calm and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, behavior, and comfort so they feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they're with family, not just a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, not just something I do on the side. I build my daily routine around the pets I'm caring for, making sure they get the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I'm consistent, dependable, and always make time to stick to each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I care for pets in their home just like you would - keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet's needs and personality so they feel at ease while you're away. I'm respectful of your home, keep things clean, and always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always focus on safety, comfort, exercise, and personalized attention during every walk or visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and walk everyday regardless as fitness is a part of my routine. Due to being in college at Ocean County I have plenty of time on my hands to give to help a busy pet parent out and help pay for school. Im flexible, dependable, and able to give pets consistent attention, care, and special treatment given owners request. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, respect the owner’s instructions, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

Nicoletta is truly amazing and trusting when it came to watching my pup for a week long! My pup is very young and could be a bit hard to handle as he is very big but there was no problem whatsoever and he was very happy with nicoletta as a caretaker! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter as Nicoletta is great and loving with dogs. I received updates and reviews of how the visits went and I could not be happier with how great everything went. I cannot thank her enough for being there and so kind to my Jay!

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.

My cat is my world and I’ve never left him for longer than a week until recently. I felt so at ease knowing he was in excellent hands. Gabby has been his sitter for a few months now and I can always tell how much he enjoys his time with her! Always delighted to know he’s still getting love while I’m gone.

Dana was great. She kept me updated with my dog George . He wasn’t the best and ripped some things off my wall and she cleaned it up for me and made sure he couldn’t get to it again . She even brought in my garbage can which was so thoughtful and helpful . I will definitely use Dana again and would recommend her to anyone needing drop in visits .
