Dog Sitting Claymont

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life (Rottweilers, Standard Poodles, and Shih Tzu). I have cared for my bunny rabbit for 10 years and my senior shih tzu for 3. I love animals and treat them kindly and respectfully. Your pet will be safe and happy with me! I am available before 8:00 am, midday, and after 5:30 PM for dog walking and drop in visits. I look forward to caring for your pet! <3 I live in a two bedroom, non-smoking apartment. The apartment complex is dog friendly. There is a fenced dog park and large yard for walks. My 10 year old shih tzu uses steps to get on the couch so those are available as well.

“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”

“This is the second time Chris has watched our dogs and we're so grateful. She is attentive and punctual with excellent communication. She is our new go-to!”

About: Hi, I’m Tara! I work full time on an early day shift, which leaves me available afternoons and evenings for some drop in visits, walks, and pet care. If you have any questions about my availability or scheduling, don’t hesitate to reach out. I understand that life (and pets!) can be unpredictable. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and currently have one of my own. My experience spans every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs needing a little extra patience and specialized care. Whether your dog is happiest curled up on the couch or thrives with an active lifestyle, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m experienced with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including reactive dogs. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe and understood, and I always prioritize respecting their boundaries while keeping everyone involved safe. In addition to everyday pet care, I have experience with: * Senior dogs with mobility challenges * Medication administration * Canine insulin injections * Canine allergy injections * Puppies and basic puppy care * High-energy and working dogs * Dog sports and active canine lifestyles As a full time Healthcare worker, I’m comfortable following medication schedules, handling medications safely, and paying close attention to detail. You can trust that your pet’s health and routine will be taken seriously. I know emergencies happen, and whenever my schedule allows, I’m happy to work with families who need last minute bathroom breaks or drop in visits. Whether your dog wants to explore the neighborhood, play until they’re tired, practice good manners, or simply enjoy some company and cuddles, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I understand that unexpected situations happen, so when my schedule allows, I’m happy to help with last-minute drop-in visits or bathroom breaks. I do my best to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I work full-time on an early day shift, which allows me to provide pet care during the afternoons and evenings throughout the week. I’m also available some weekends and can often accommodate additional visits with advance notice. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before each visit. During drop-in visits and walks, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, receives any requested meals or medications, gets plenty of exercise or enrichment. I have experience working with reactive dogs and always prioritize safe handling, respecting their boundaries, and avoiding situations that could cause unnecessary stress. With my background in healthcare, I’m also comfortable administering medications, including insulin and allergy injections, while following instructions carefully and safely. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs from a young age and fell in love with taking care of them. As I got older and went to school, I was always happy to help friends and neighbors to look after their pets as well. Now, I’m happy to say that I’ve been a dog walker and pet mom for three years! I currently work full-time, but my schedule is variable and I’m more than happy to work pet care into my schedule. Whether it’s a walk or drop-in, I can usually find time to help! In your home, your pets know what’s best and most comfortable. I do my best to work with them and adjust to their needs accordingly based on what’s available and familiar to them in your space.

About: I've been caring for pets for almost 10 years, including about 8 years of experience with both dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of dogs—from big to small, energetic to laid-back, and everything in between! I love getting to know each dog's personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which gives me great availability for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to work around your schedule and provide your pets with the attention and care they need. I’ll always care for your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether we’re out for a walk, enjoying some playtime, having a meal, or simply keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for!

About: I’ve had dogs all my life! All different kinds and sizes! I’m at school now and missing my dogs and looking to make a little money. Very flexible with pay! just adjusted from rovers recommended Very Flexible! I’m currently starting my sophomore year of college and looking to do some side work to make a little money. My classes and times are various in different days of the week but am trying to do any walks on my time off. Open for doing a lot of services! I am mostly looking to do just walks but if i need to enter a home i will do it with all respect and joy.

About: I was gifted my first puppy at 10 years old and from that moment I knew I had been missing the love of animals in my life. Going through high school, I walked neighborhood dogs while families went away on vacation. I also made “as needed” drop in visits for families with young dogs and cats. Recently, I was tasked with taking a sick Boston Terrier to the vet and then held the responsibility of giving her medicine twice daily. Currently, I’m working part time in an office setting. In the near future I hope to take on caring for animals full time! I will be able to work early morning or late at night depending on what is needed from the client. I will easily adapt to your routine at home in order for your pet to have the best experience. Leaving little notes for me is highly encouraged so the routine you have already put in place is continuous.

About: I have a senior yellow lab (almost 13 years old!) who has been in my life since he was 8 weeks old. As he gets older, more and more care is required for him. Along with that, I have worked with families of different dogs when dogsitting is needed. This care ranged from small to large dogs at all stages of life. I enjoy playing in the yard with them. As someone who has had a dog for so long, I know how people want their dog treated when they are away. I am offering love and care to your dogs while you are away, so they don’t feel lonely at all! I am looking for weekend dog sitting plans. I work a full time job during the week and will not be able to provide the care I hope to for your dogs on the weekdays. As mentioned, I know how much our dogs matter to us! I will do exactly what you request with your dog! Whether that is walks, playing, certain food techniques and more!

“Sara has consistently impressed us with the kindness and reliability of her pet care. She is so good with Alfredo and communicates frequently to let us know how he’s doing. We feel very lucky to have her watch our dog when we leave and know he’s in good hands. She is also quick to let us know her availability.”

Susanne W.

“I have been hesitant to take vacation especially because my older dog is not a fan of kennels. I decided to use Rover for the first time and chose Anne as my sitter. She did a fantastic job! My dog and cat loved her since they met her. Anne kept following up with me and letting me know how they were doing. While on vacation, I knew that they were in capable hands and well taken care of. I will always try to choose her and that puts me at ease when I'm away. Thanks Anne!”

Genoveva G.

“Klyde and Kimber loved having Justice visit them. Klyde looks so happy in the pictures. Wasn’t sure how he’d be but he warmed up fast! Loved the pictures and the description of how she spent the time. Looking to lots more visits.”

Kristin M.

“Ella was great with our cat Mason! She spent plenty of time with him while we were away, and made sure to get him up and playing. She made sure to update us on how each visit went and made us feel comfortable that Mason was in good hands. Will be booking again in the future!”

Josh N.

“Stephanie was my first pet sitter with Rover, and I was really apprehensive about leaving my cat for 2 weeks. Stephanie not only went above and beyond to reassure me, but she was flexible with the booking and checking on my house while I was away. She provided detailed updates with plenty of pictures, followed all instructions, and exceeded expectations. My normally skittish cat took to Stephanie immediately, which I know had to do with Stephanie, because she didn’t come out for anyone else that stopped by the house. I had a wonderful experience, and would definitely request Stephanie for any future pet sitting needs.”

Amina A.

“Marcelle took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She is very responsible and follows through on all directions. So thankful to have such a great pet sitter close by!”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!

About: I have spent the majority of my life taking care of multiple pets. I grew up with dogs, and became a cat person the second half of my life, I still love them all so much. I currently have 2 cats that I adopted who are amazing: Felix, the sweetest gentle giant. And Ophelia, the newest addition to the family. She is an energetic cuddle bug and the biggest sweetheart! I recently lost my oldest cat Charlie, who I’ve had since I was 9. She was 20 years old, and I had her from 8 weeks old until the end. She was a super geriatric senior who needed assistance and care for about 3-4 years prior to her passing. I feel confident in administrating any medications needed, as well as frequent checks to make sure the pet is as healthy as can be! I am available for dog walking needs and stop in visits! For both services, I only request a quick meeting with the pet before we are left alone for everyone’s safety. My schedule is extremely flexible, so don’t hesitate to reach out! Im available all week, whenever you need! I have plenty of time to burn some energy and make sure your pet receives the love it deserves! Im currently working on online courses to complete my history degree, which can be done at any time! I cannot currently offer services in my own home as I have 2 cats who are very attached to their humans, and I don’t feel comfortable introducing new pets. Over time and with trust built between your pet and myself, this may change!

About: I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for a Cavachon for two years, which gave me hands-on experience with the daily ups and downs of dog parenthood—feeding, training, walks, and lots of playtime. Due to personal reasons, the pup now lives with my former partner, but I truly cherish that time and all the lessons it taught me about patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I’ve always dreamed of owning another dog of my own again soon, but in the meantime, I’m grateful for the opportunity to care for yours. I know how hard it is for pet parents to leave their pups at home, and I can never resist those puppy eyes either. That’s why I promise to give your dog the love, comfort, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. I’m a recent college graduate from Drexel University and currently searching for a full-time role, which gives me extra flexibility in my schedule. Caring for dogs is not just a side hustle for me—it’s a passion. I have plenty of time during weekdays and on weekends to devote my full attention to your pup, making sure they get the love, playtime, and exercise they deserve. Drop-in visit might works the best for me:) Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I live in a safe environment and can adjust easily to your pup’s needs—whether that means crate training, sticking to their feeding schedule, or providing lots of play and snuggles. Having cared for a Cavachon myself, I understand the ups and downs of pet parenting, and I know how important it is for you to feel at ease while away. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, secure, and happy until you’re back home.

About: I'm an experienced vet assistant, and have 4 fur babies of my own! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and petsit their pets for years. I have a diabetic cat, and am experienced with giving insulin, and administering other medications to cats/dogs. I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant. I'm available during my lunch break, most evenings and weekends to provide quality pet care 🙂 I'll walk your dog and clean up after them during the walk. I'll make sure there's enough food & water for your pet, and clean their bowls as needed.
