Top rated Delaware house sitters
“Rachel was the best house sitter we've had from Rover so far, and that's saying a lot, because we've had many good and a couple great sitters. Her response time and demeanor were fantastic. She did an additional meet and greet for our German Shepherd to become familiar with her. She was flexible for our meeting times and prompt for all our appointments. For the actual sitting, she gave us a heads up on her availability. Also, we had a long list of requests that she was able to accommodate, including care for our garden. She sent plenty of photos and updates of our animals both having fun and relaxing. We couldn't ask for more.”
“Sheila was amazing on short notice. Her years of experience showed as she noticed my puppy Bia having some issues that should be addressed by a vet. She went above and beyond getting Bia checked out by our vet and administrating her meds to make her healthy again. Can't recommend Sheila enough.”
“This was our first experience hiring a pet sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased with Jessalyn! Our pets were very well taken care of! We have already scheduled with her for next month. Thanks, Jessalyn!”

About: I fall in love with every pet! Discovering and suiting different characters and needs of pets brings me joy and satisfaction. I improve my skills every day.

I always make notes to have complete information about all pets and their surroundings. I have experiences with different dog breeds from Chihuahua to Great Dane, ages from puppies to very old dogs, health issues as blindness, deafness or limited motion and other problems as intolerance or fearfulness.

I consider my dogs my children and I love them to death. I constantly do update and send pictures!
About: You know when you walk by a dog, he starts walking towards you, trying to drag their owner towards you, and you know he just wants to say hello and be pet? My thought process is the same as the dogs every time I pass one. Nine times out of ten I will stop, ask the owner if it's alright to pet their dog, then sit and chat with them and love on the dog for a while. (And I only chat to pet the dog longer). All my life I have heard many cases of, "Don't touch my cat or he'll scratch you" or "Watch out for the dog, he growls at everyone" and before my visit is over I have the cat in my lap and the dog following me where ever I go. My fiancée calls me Dr. Doolittle.
About: I've grown up taking care of dogs! My parents had a Great Pyrenees and a beagle that I took care of growing up. I've dealt with all sizes of dogs! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of margin in my schedule to take care of your fur babies! Whether walking them or checking in on them, I can be available! I will work diligently to keep my word on how many times I have promised to check on your pet or to take them on walks or whatever they may need!
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I strive to make all animals’ lives better. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity. I am currently preparing to start grooming school this year! (I also have quite a bit of experience with houseplants!) I work night shift (6pm - 4:30am) so it can be difficult but I make pet care a priority. I make sure to spend as much time outside as possible doing a mix of basic training and puzzles. I live on a farm with an open field and one semi-reactive dog (Which would be put in the house to prevent accidents). While outside I take my dog for walks around the field so she can sniff and dig as much as she would like. I also do snuffle mats/dog puzzles

Ron H.
“Ron and I were roommates for several years. Ron had a pittie and I owned a French Mastiff. Through the years of living under the same roof and both of us owning dogs, I have true first hand, day to day knowledge of just how amazing Ron is with dogs. Ron's dog Loki had possibly an allergy of some kind and I would see Ron giving Loki his meds like clock work. Ron always fed Loki quality dog food. Loki never lacked for love, attention, and was well behaved due to Ron being so diligent with him. Kind and caring. Ron earned my trust immediately and I would leave my Mastiff, Aubrey in his care. I NEVER left my Aubrey with anyone, ever. Aubrey adored him. Loki adored him. Ron was attentive to every tiny thing about Loki (and Aubrey) and so when he spotted a tiny lump on Loki, to the vets they went. Loki had cancer and he didn't waste one minute to have it removed. Ron was extremely vigilant watching over Loki (although, he obviously always did) and if there were any question or doubt, off to the vets he would go. I could not name one single person who I would trust more with my dog than Ron. Ron loves dogs with a passion that you only see in a handful of people.”
Sydney W.
“I wrote one last week. Sydney takes care of any animal around her. She also plants sunflower seeds to feed birds. She's an amazing, caring provider for animals.”
Taylor B.
