“Graceanna was terrific with our boxer, Kenzie She stayed at our house for 2 nights and we knew that our pup was in good hands. Graceanna sent timely updates and pictures, we would recommend her and use her again in the future.”

About: I'm a proud mama of a st bernard/poodle rescue. Her name is Dolce (dol-che). Love being with her and training her (trained her to ring a bell and that has been a life saver). Would love to walk your dog or drop in. I know the sad feeling of being away from your dog and making sure that they are more than ok when you are away. I would make sure that you are well informed with updates and make sure that your most loved dog is treated well, having a good walk and learn a few tricks with treats. I have learned training Dolce by myself and aware of the patience and satisfaction needed when dogs are obedient and are healthy because they are trained well.

“Erin was so amazing we are booking her for a trip in November. She sent photos of Cashew every day…one with Cashew asleep on her lap. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!”

“Ryan was so attentive, patient and handled an emergency situation with ease. When our 4 year old Labrador got sick, Ryan was the best at communicating, confirming he could handle the situation and managed to put us all at ease. Highly recommend him. We were grateful for his professionalism.”

About: Taking care of animals has always come very naturally to me! As a child I liked to run around the farm I lived on searching for kittens and petting horses. As someone who has loved and nurtured many of my own pets over the years, I naturally gravitated towards taking care of others beloved fur children. I have knowledge of different diets and have had both cats and dogs on raw diets as well as standard diets. I also have experience with senior animals, and their special needs. I started out helping friends or parents of friends when they would travel and have now found myself offering services to others and growing my business. I absolutely love pet sitting and helping families feel comfortable as they travel or are at work for the day. When I am at your home I make sure to not only nurture and love on your pets but to take care of your space. I offer daily updates if preferred and collect mail, keep things tidy, etc. I am able to give some medicine if required and enjoy the company of all ages of animals. I have experience mostly with cats and dogs but am open to taking care of smaller critters too. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet! I offer pet sitting at your home Monday-Sunday with a flexible schedule. I am available for drop ins and overnight stays. My main focus is pet sitting. When staying with your pet or even just dropping in, I can feed, play, crate, or give some meds to your pet if necessary. I am able to take walks or run around for a bit in the back yard. My goal is to always make the pet and the owner feel as comfortable as possible while maintaining a normal routine where necessary. I ask that owners leave detailed instructions so I can accommodate your animals as best as possible. I also request that any cameras in the home be notified to myself before I stay and I like to be clear that my partner may sometimes stay with me for overnights.

About: I have had a variety of pets of all ages with some needing special care. I enjoy walks, playtime and snuggles from fur babies. I have flexibility and can work with your schedules to give the proper care to your pets. I am currently working a casual job and would like to fill more of my time with what brings me joy which are animals. I only have my older cat but enjoy dogs of all sizes, other cats; I have fed fish, small reptiles, and horses. I do travel but have flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a home where I can close off play areas if needed. I can provide litter boxes separately if needed and clean out as needed. I am happy to listen to your requests and concerns and follow your routine for your pets. I am comfortable going to your home where your pets are ‘at home’ and walk, feed and play with them in their own setting.

“John was on time. He was very kind. He and our sweet Savannah bonded and has a great weekend. He completed walks and feedings. He assisted with her vitamin. We will plan to use him again and would highly recommend him.”

About: After raising a puppy to become a guide dog for the blind from 2007 until 2009, I was heartbroken (yet very proud!) when I learned that my black lab had moved past her training and would be going on to help a young blind man. Without a dog in my life, I constantly felt like I was missing a much needed companion. I have since gone on to rescue multiple dogs and cats who I absolutely consider my best friends. When my pets need a sitter, I want to know that the person visiting is someone who will show love and affection to make them feel at ease. I am confident I can provide the same level of care I expect for my pets to your pets as well! I currently work 3 days a week at my full time job but have lots of extra time in the week to spend with your pets! I am a firm believer in doing whatever it takes to put your pets at ease and to help them feel the most comfortable. My dog does not use a crate and roams freely when home alone, but I am open to whatever works best and will follow your lead!

“We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.”

About: I've grown up with dogs always surrounding me which has made me very comfortable taking care of dogs that range in size and age. My last family dog gave me experience caring for senior dogs and I recently adopted a puppy that I helped train. I have a passion for caring for animals, and have been responsible and loving of dogs since I was a kid! I am a sophomore in college and work part time in the evenings. I currently have free time in the mornings to help with pet care. I have a fenced yard for running around and play time and will also provide your dog plenty of walks as well. I have a dog who loves to play and will keep your dog company. I also have lots of dog treats, dog toys, and extra food bowls etc. so I am able to care for multiple dogs.

“On April 10, 2026, we used Rover for the first time and couldn't be happier that we found Mallorie. She was prompt, provided stellar communication and, most importantly, was super attentive to Barley and respectful of him and our home. We will book Mallorie again any time our schedules sync and highly recommend her.”

About: I have sat for my friends' dogs and cats. All varied in ages from pup to senior. I find comfort in knowing that my friends and family can enjoy themselves while I watch their furry friends. I love being around animals and learning more about their different personalities and behaviors; it allows me to be a better dog parent to Myla (my border collie). I work a full time job at a local hospital in my area. I work early and get done around 3pm daily M-F. I have free time after work and on weekends. I have always preferred to get a list of do's and dont's with different personalities and age groups. I care by ensuring their safety in their own home and protecting the safe space they are accustomed to.

“Meghan did amazing as always! I have just adopted a new friend from the Humane Society. She is incredibly knowledgeable and was willing to help monitor my two dogs together as they are still new. Along with caring for the medical needs of my new baby, She encouraged the loving dynamic of my house and has made it even better!”

About: Hello there! My name is Shannon O'Neill, and I am a passionate animal lover and dedicated pet owner based in Rehoboth Beach, DE. I have had the utmost joy engaging in pet care for over the past ten years, and have a variety of experience with several types of breeds and dispositions. Providing a safe and loving experience for the dogs I work with is my highest priority, and I strive to go above and beyond for all of my clients. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I prioritize the well-being of the pets I walk and care for. I schedule dedicated time each day to ensure that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Depending on the specific needs of the pet, I also adapt my routine to accommodate special care, such as administering medication, providing additional playtime, or catering to any dietary requirements. My goal is to provide a consistent and loving experience for each pet, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for throughout the week. I provide personalized care based on the pet's needs, whether in my home or a client's. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and administering medications if needed. I ensure pets have a safe and comfortable environment, and I follow any specific instructions from pet owners to maintain their routines.

“We were fortunate to have Kerry watch our dog Buddy over the weekend. She came over a few days earlier to do a meet and greet and asked great questions about Buddy’s routines and got acquainted with him. Over the weekend she communicated via texts and pictures of his status and asked inquired about his behavior with thunderstorms. I was happy with Kerry’s follow ups and communication. Buddy would love to see her again! This was our first time using River. Overall our experience was great and we plan on using it again.”

About: I have a high energy dog at home and a cat with a bit of an attitude. I grew up walking the neighborhood dogs and spent a summer working at an animal hospital. I am native to the Lewes area and am looking for some winter pet sitting/walking jobs. My job takes up all my time in the summer but I am very available in the off season. I treat my pets like they are my kids, will never raise my voice at them, and always pay great attention to their personal needs.
