“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”


“Great experience with Kimberly. This was my first time with overnight boarding for my dog for 9 days. Kimberly kept in touch with me about Bella and also sent pictures. My Bella was very anxious in the beginning and I feel Kimberly met her needs to keep her calm. She even afford to give my dog pills to help with the anxiety. Kimberly was also kind enough to wait for our delayed fight even though we went about 2.5 hours past the pick up time for Bella, she was very understanding. I glad that I found her. I would definitely book with her again!”


“Mindy took great care of my pup. She sent constant status updates & pictures throughout the day, made sure he got plenty of exercise, and even did some training!”


“Melissa accommodated us for a last minute boarding situation and was very pleasant. And Yoshi seemed happy after the visit so all in all a good experience. Thanks Melissa!”


“Michelle did a great Job watching Sadie Mae! Was sent pictures consistently and updated. She took her for a walk/jog even in the cold weather. Will be using her for future boardings.”


“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”


About: Hi, I’m Amy — your pet’s new favorite auntie! 🐾 Since growing up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats - I have been a lifelong animal lover living vicariously through pet sitting for friends. I’ve always been the one that friends, roommates, and coworkers call when they need someone they can trust with their pets—and now I’m here for you too. Whether your furry family member is a playful pup, a chill cat, or a quirky critter, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I live an active lifestyle and love long walks, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions. I’m happy to care for pets with all kinds of personalities—high-energy dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s boarding at my place or house sitting at yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how much your pet means to you, and I’ll always follow your care routines, send regular updates, and create a stress-free experience for both of you. I currently work from home on Fridays and am available on weekends for daytime or overnight dog sitting in my home (small and medium size dogs) or house sitting/drop in visits/walks for any pets between Friday 1 pm and Sunday 8 pm. Your home or mine, I love to be active or cuddle - whatever your pet’s personality is! My backyard is not fenced in, but does have a nice space for potty breaks. I am close by Delaware park for long walks. I don’t mind if pups use a crate or roam the house - whatever you prefer, but in my home I will ask that your pet is house trained.

“Emmy was awesome and super caring with Brownie. She immediarely welcomed him and made him feel at home. Her home has a really nice backyard with plenty of space for dogs. I know Brownie had a great time with Emmy and her family!”


“Lindsay was great, and very accommodating. Our dogs definitely had a good time and were treated very well. Lindsay did a wonderful job communicating and sent us the most adorably pathetic picture of our dane (he's a big baby). 10/10 would hire again.”


“beverly. you are the best sitter ever! our Lilly just loves you and ur husband too. it’s been such a comfort and blessing to have her available to us for vacations or whatever. i’m so grateful for her!”


“Amanda was an awesome sitter for Rizzo and we will definitely use her again in the future! You can tell she truly loves the doggo she is watching and treats them as her own. With the photos she shared everyday you could tell Rizzo was enjoying her time with Amanda which gave us relief while we were on our vacation.”


About: With over 10 years of experience as a dedicated dog caregiver, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of breeds, from small Chihuahuas and Pugs to playful Beagles, energetic Aussies, and gentle Rottweilers. I offer everything from daily walks and potty breaks to teaching tricks and providing loving overnight care. My calm, patient approach allows me to build trusting relationships with every pet, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. As a true fur lover, I treat each pet like family, always giving them the attention and care they deserve. I’m currently stay at home so I will have enough time to watch your dog over the day and nights. Also available during the weekends. I have a fenced yard to let them go out on potty break whenever they need. I’m a strong person, so I ain’t afraid of taking them over walks, great relationship builder skills. I also can take them on a run if dog needs to canalize their energy.

“Archer was quite at ease with Valerie from the start. I requested a meet & greet before leaving my little guy, and was happy that Valerie met us both. I’ll be booking again”


About: I have cared for my own dog and other’s dogs since I was young! I also have experience walking elderly dogs and dogs with disabilities! I am currently available to walk your dog on weekdays at and 5pm to 10pm. I am very flexible on weekends, as I can walk them anytime. I will assist your dog as much as you’d like: whether that means carrying them across streets, keeping close leash, or giving some encouraging belly rubs, etc.
