Cat Sitting Delaware City

“Courtney was awesome! Caring, attentive and right on time. Our pup loved her and It was just what he needed to get out of the house and explore in the middle of the day! Thank you Courtney!”

About: I have had dogs in my home my entire life who have ranged from sedentary to pulling you down the street! I take time to understand each pets unique needs and make sure that our time together is well spent from the owner's perspective and the pet's! I work full time from 7-4pm Monday to Friday. My availability is anytime after 4pm but before 9pm on weekdays and anytime after 8am but before 10pm on weekends. I live with my fiance who is a veterinary nurse, our 10 year old dog, and 8 year old cat in an apartment. We have easy access to a large park with walking trails and can easily find fun routes around New areas!

About: I grew up with two funny little dogs, Kiwi (a Peekapoo) and Tegan (a Bichon Frisé), whom my mom and I trained from puppies. I’m now the proud cat mom to an orange tabby named Ari! I’m calm, patient, loving, and consistent with animals. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who required daily medication by injection, and I’m happy to provide that same gentle, attentive care for your pets if needed. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply curl up for cuddles, I’m happy to follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. :) I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and am often available for same-day bookings! Starting in August every Thursday, I will nanny for a wonderful five-month-old baby while also caring for her family’s two dogs and two cats. Outside of Thursdays, my schedule is very open. Because of my flexibility, your pets can receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I keep my availability up to date, communicate promptly, and strive to make every booking reliable, stress-free, and personalized to your pet’s needs. Every pet is unique, so I always begin by following the owner’s instructions and learning their routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they seem happy, comfortable, and healthy. If medications are needed, I’m happy to administer them as directed. Before I leave, I’ll make sure your pet is settled and I’ll send you an update with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“This was our first time using Rover and Rebecca, someone other than family to care for our pups, one of our pups is Medical Needs. Communication was great, which helped ease my anxiety. The pups seemed happy and perfect when we got home. Great experience!!!!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and now I have a 16 year old black lab mix and a 2 year old cat. My sweet old dog doesn’t get around much these days so I have more opportunities to get out of the house and care for other animals. I’m great with puppies and senior dog care. I’m a stay at home mom looking to pet sit to earn some extra money. I have lots of availability and am looking to bring my 2.5 year old animal living daughter along with me. She’s great with pets and will enjoy doing this along my side. I have a fenced in yard and a very mellow and loving 16 year old dog who will keep your fur baby company. I have a full finished basement where I can put my cat if any dogs aren’t the biggest fans of him. He is great with the dogs and doesn’t mind them at all. I have a 2.5 year old who will be here so we can only watch dogs who will be okay with her. She will give your dog lots of love and attention and giggles.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and have spent most of my adult life volunteering for 2 animal rescue organizations. I fostered over 170 cats for my last organization (that was over a period of 15 years!) caring for all ages as well as taking in some with medical needs. I'm skilled at administering medications of all sorts and we currently have an asthmatic cat that takes an inhaler. I've been a "cat person" my whole life, but love dogs too! My husband and I love the large breeds, in particular Mastiffs. We currently have 3 cats plus a Mastiff who is the biggest baby. :-) We recently moved to Delaware (from just outside of DC) and I'm looking to re-start pet sitting as I LOVE meeting new furbabies and taking care of them. I used to pet sit in VA but put it to the side when fostering took up most of my free time. I recently took an early retirement and have plenty of free time so can offer flexibility. Since I'm married my husband helps takes care of our own cats/dog, and he understands my love of animals and desire to help others. I understand that every cat/dog is unique, with their own personality and needs. I will take the time to get to know each one and tailor my approach to ensure their comfort level,

“Selena was amazing! She really took the extra time and effort to not only be the best sitter to our girl Olive but also to care for our home while cleaning up after our little one. She was so good with our pup and would choose her any day! Thanks Selena :)”

About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities for over five years. Neighbors, friends and family count on me to walk, feed, bathe and give their pets plenty of love and attention—keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free I'm currently working part-time from home , so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! ! I'm available for boarding anytime . I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable in a familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, and playtime, and keep everything tidy and secure. I give plenty of affection, monitor water and food, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

“Jenna was excellent with my Cocobean. She provided detailed information after each visit. This was my first time using Rover. I was very concerned because Coco can be a little aggressive at times, but Jenna was perfect with him. She provided quality time with Coco at every visit. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: At the age of 12 I was caring for animals working on a farm for a traveling petting zoo. I also had cats and dogs at home. In my 20's I volunteered at a local shelter where I adopted my first Pittie. I now have two Bulldogs a mom and son duo and a Fiesty but loving Sphynx Cat. I have availability early morning, during lunch , after 5pm , and before bed time Monday through Friday. On Weekends my time is more flexible I will treat your animals no different then I treat my own. They will be my buddies during your time away. I will send photos and updates each night.

“This is the second time we’ve used Michaela and everything was great. Thank you Michaela for doing a wonderful job caring for Milo while we were gone!”

About: Need someone who can handle more than just a walk in the park? I was raised on a farm and have professional zoo experience. I have cared for many animals and can administer meds, handle large breeds and provide loving care. Currently a dog and turtle owner, I am a responsible professional looking to help you enjoy your travels worry-free. I am available anytime on weekends. During the week, I can provide care in the early mornings before 8:00 AM and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you are away. Drawing on my background in zoo and farm care, I am meticulous about following instruction whether that involves administering medication, adhering to strict feeding schedules, or managing specific turnout times. Because I work full-time, I structure my care around a schedule during the week: I provide quality care, exercise, and feeding before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM, while weekends are open for longer adventures and companionship. I treat your home with the same respect as your animals. I am experienced in maintaining a clean environment and can provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your own adventures knowing your home and pets are secure.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I adopted a cat two years ago & can confidently say I now know the difference between how to interact with both. My friends call me the cat whisperer & I’ve watched both cats & dogs before. I am available to pet sit weekdays. My availability does depend on the week- I work remote so I am more flexible. I will try to keep my posted schedule as up to date as possible. I care for every pet with compassion & love. I understand that every dog/cat is different & needs to be treated accordingly. I get the importance of knowing your pet is safely looked after & treat them like my own.

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My shifts are short consistent, allowing me to have a concrete schedule to work around to best meet the needs of all dogs and cats. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.

“Lillyanne asked questions on the initial meet and greet so my dogs were fed and let out just like if I was home. Her communication was outstanding and we were sent the most adorable pics of the pups. Would most definitely book again.”

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.
