About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. I am a University student and will be leaving Wilmington on July 10th. However I do regularly return for holidays and will be back in December. I am a very diligent caretaker always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary!
About: I have never not had at least two pets in my entire life, I have also pet sat multiple animals in the last few years, specifically dogs and cats, but I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, rodents, invertebrates, and farm animals. I love all animals and also have experience admintering oral medication and specialized diets. I have experience with senior care as well as young animals. I don't mind specific requests and encourage specifics when it comes to the animal members of every family. I am currently available weekdays during the day, as well as some weekends.I do not currently have the ability to board animals in my own home. I can feed animals, play with, and walk them. I can clean Iitterboxes and administer oral medications as well as follow any specialized diet plans. I can stay in the home with your pet or take them out for a walk or to the park.
“Amy was the BEST babysitter we could have imagined. Our bear got his name because he can be a bear with new people and get very reactive. Amy came over before the stay multiple times to meet him and let him smell her good and get to know her. We had complete confidence leaving our boy with her after that. The first visit he was a little hesitant but by the second he was playing happy and LOVED her. We will not hesitate to call her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Being the oldest of four children it was my responsibility to walk, feed and prioritize our dogs! And of course they kept me warm sleeping in my bed. I am patient and loving with all animals. Your dogs happiness and well being come first! Pet care is my only job. I will work with you to assure your needs and your pets needs are met. I am flexible with hours and days. I have an indoor cat that is a bit older. She requires vet visits to assure she’s healthy and moving forward daily. I clean her litter box several times a day and sometimes have to clean her backside.
About: I have always grown up with dogs and just recently adopted my cat Douglas shortly after moving from home. Although he provides all the love I need, I do miss all my family dogs presence! I currently work full-time, but would love to make myself available for more interaction with pets! I am available for outdoor walks and pet check-ins! I do not offer anything in my home because I'm not too sure how my cat Douglas would respond ... and he runs the house.

About: I've been taking care of animals from fish to Llamas since I was a young child. Nothing makes me happier than being with animals. I've been taking care of my friends' pets for so long, I figured I'd make help other folks too. I make my own schedule currently, so if we are a good fit, it's no problem to make my schedule work around what you need.
