About Us

Sitters by the Shore is a professional sitting referral service that can help you with all your sitting needs – child, elder, and pet care. Our goal is to provide excellent service and care through our highly qualified, experienced sitters.

Trying to find a sitter you can trust can be overwhelming, whether you are a local parent or here on vacation. Sitters by the Shore has set the standards for child care services. Because we strive to provide you with the best possible sitter, only the most qualified applicants are accepted. Our sitters are CPR and First Aid Certified and go through a rigorous screening process that includes phone and personal interviews along with extensive reference and background checks. Our sitters have significant backgrounds in child care ranging from infants to teenagers, as well as experienced special needs care providers. Our sitters are nannies, teachers, healthcare professionals, and college students who love children and strive to make sure your children are happy, safe, and secure while you are away.

Finding a reliable sitter for elderly care can be just as difficult as finding the right sitter for your child. With Sitters by the Shore, consideration will be given to the compatibility of personalities, lifestyle, and level of need.

Our pet sitting service matches our pet owners with sitters who specialize in caring for their particular breed of pet.
