About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from smaller dogs to bigger dogs. My fiancé and I rescued a beagle mix a couple years ago and she’s our baby! She is probably most sweet, happy, and quiet dog you could meet. We got her when she was 8 weeks old and could fit in the palm of my hand. Now she's a stubborn big back little girl that will do any trick you ask her if you have a treat in your hand. Overall I love dogs, I feel like you can never be mad when you have one. No matter what bad things they do, they win you back over by being cute and friendly. Pet care fits in my schedule every day of the week rather it's caring for my own pet, or taking care of someone else's. It would have to be either after I get off work or before I go in. On weekends anytime would work. How I/we care for our pets at home is by walking our dog 3-4 times a day depend on how many times she has to use the bathroom. And by also feeding her 2-3 times a day depending on how much she ate the time before. -We walk our dog in the morning before work, when we get home from work, and at night before we go to bed. Majority of the we’ll feed her after she goes out in the morning and then feed her again when we get home from work.

“Emma was wonderful! She is very communicative, has a lovely home and yard, and the cutest dogs. My dog got along with hers because they were very friendly. Emma was quick to reply, she gave me peace of mind on my unexpected trip out of town for a funeral. She sent pics and videos and gave updates throughout the day. I will definitely use her for all future bookings!!!”

“Traveling from out of state for our granddaughter’s wedding, we did not know anyone to watch our 1 year old Maltipoo. Matt and Louise were wonderful to work with, very accommodating with coordinating times for wedding festivities and took great care of our family pet. Thank you for easing our anxiety leaving our little guy at your home.”

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and coworkers for 10+ years. I can assure you, your dog will get all the love while here in my care! We have a very energetic goldendoodle, that loves everyone and would love some playmates! I work not even 10 minutes from my house and am home daily on my lunch. I have a decent size fenced yard that allows the doggies to get out and run/play! If you are needing them to be crated, they absolutely can be but have an area they can run!

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have cared for the companions of family and friends and have also fostered a sweet boy. I have two dogs I adore very much, named Love (7 years) and Kid (3 years). We are very active and we go on long walks through different trails and parks in Wilmington. A couple years ago I lived in a house where part of my rent contract was caring for two senior dogs, a cat, and 8 chickens. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends, and am happy to host dogs at my house as well. I have a fenced in yard, crates for my dogs, and can easily crate your dog if needed. We keep lots of toys and fresh water available at all times.

About: Aside from having animals my entire life, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I care for every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. I intentionally spend quality time with each animal — whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to help reinforce training for puppies as well. Since I work from home, pets get lots of attention and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind too 🐾 I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule where I can work anywhere and take many breaks. I can take same day/emergency request as well. I give lots of attention throughout the day, whether that’s play, cuddles, enrichment activities, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s personality — some love constant interaction, while others prefer a more relaxed and quieter environment, and I adjust accordingly.

“Andrew and his family were wonderful caregivers to my two mini dachshunds. I also appreciated the flexibility with my return schedule to pick them up at my convenience , which made it so easy and lessened the stress. Thank you Andrew and family for taking such good care of my dogs 😊”

“Bucky had a wonderful stay at Stella's place! He had lots of attention, multiple walks and snuggles. I received lots of pictures and updates on his care. I could tell he was very happy there. I will definitely book with Stella again in the future.”

“Emma was great. Even before our booking began Emma was very communicative. Smokey had the best time and was well cared for. Emma sent me updates and was easy to communicate with. I will use Emma again in the future when needed and if she is available.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Kardi and Sebastian! From March 13th to the 23rd, she took amazing care of my babies, and they absolutely loved her. She kept me updated every day with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals and treated mine like her own. When I picked them up, they were happy, well cared for, and completely at ease. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and attentive sitter, look no further—she’s the best! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️🐾”

About: I have grown up around animals and am experienced taking care of puppies to senior dogs. I have spent the last couple of years learning more about what makes a dog stay healthy and happy. I understand how a pet is a member of your family or your whole world so I will treat them as such. They deserve to be cared for at the standard they would be by you and I will take that responsibility seriously. I have my own dog at home and sometimes life gets busy and I need others to help me. I enjoy doing the same for others by dropping in, walking your dog, or watching them overnight. I have a very dog friendly apartment with its own walking trail to take your pet on a walk. I also have balcony’s overlooking the trail that dogs enjoy sitting on and watching the activity outside. I do have my own dog who is crate trained but he also always wants to play with other dogs. I can keep the dogs separated in my home, or out loose depending on your preference. I have no problem sharing furniture and couches with a fur baby because their comfort is my priority.

About: My family and I love pets and we always treat any pets as if they are our own we don’t do this for money we do it because we enjoy it. I work full time but I am flexible with checking in on pets and making sure they don’t need any other assistant I will be the only one doing so I have a fenced in yard with a dog myself that goes outside multiple times for outside play an stays in doors you can depend on me having the same respect for your animal as well.

“Anna and her family were amazing to board my 2 dogs! She was super responsive and communicative. I received lots of pictures during their stay and I knew they were in great hands. Anna has a beautiful backyard and my girls had so much fun running around. Will definitely rebook and will recommend to anyone needing a loving family to watch their dogs!”

“Great communicator and Milo loved her lil pup. I will definitely book again”

“Laura is as exceptional with our dogs. Extremely responsive, sent lots of pictures and I could tell that our dogs were calm and comfortable with her. She made sure to have a meet and greet first and made sure all dogs were comfortable and a good fit. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone needing some peace of mind for their pets while they go out of town. Not only that, she helped one of our fast eaters find a better bowl. Completely above and beyond!!! Thank you laura.”

About: One of my biggest strengths as a pet sitter is my high energy and fun loving personality. I genuinely enjoy being active, whether that means long walks and jogs or playing fetch for half an hour. Whether your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or burn off energy with playtime, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm out the door Monday- Friday from 0730 to approx. 1600. I could walk/run/feed your pets in the morning prior to then and anytime after I'm home from work. Saturday and Sunday I am very flexible :) I have two cats that I will keep upstairs to give your pet the privacy and space on the first floor when boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small front and backyard but would most likely be walking/ jogging around the block with your doggo if boarding.

“Very thankful to have found this family for Chewbacca. Thank you!”

About: I love pets! I have dog sat for 7 years and cared for multiple house pets growing up. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and I’m able to provide most services. My availability is best on my days off work and evenings! I work full time, 12 hour shifts with multiple days off in between. Send me a message to inquire more! I am very understanding and will always follow household rules. I’m also aware that every pet has their own unique needs and I will do everything I can to meet them.
