“If I could give more stars I would! I went out of town for four days with one kitty that has Cardiomyopathy. She sent me updated videos and info as She cared for my fur babies. I highly recommend Stacey! I had complete Peace of mind while away!”

About: I have always loved and had animals my whole life, they are very important to me! My family and friends also trust me to take care of their animals while away on vacation or out for the day. I am available to take care of pets during the day, evenings, and nights. Walking would be preferable during the day or evening. I have my own pets as well, so I am confident in my ability to take care of any pet. I will love and care for your dog during walks. Your furry friend’s safety and health is very important to me, so I’ll do my best to ensure it!
About: Hi there! My name is Jen and I want to help you make sure your fur babies are well taken care of and loved while you’re away! I’ve been pet sitting for a few years now and like many started out pet sitting for friends and family. In college, I started working with JN Care for Pets, a DC-based pet care company, where I cared for cats, dogs, and even reptiles! I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs — from small dogs to high-energy large breeds and everything in between. Whether they tug on their leash or can jump to my shoulders, I want to make sure they still get to play outside and go for quality walks while you’re away. In addition to dogs, I’ve had plenty of experience with other animals, too! I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve fostered kittens as young as 4 months old, which included post-spay care for two female kittens. I also currently live at a cat sanctuary for shelter cats that were deemed “unadoptable”, and I frequently assist with feeding, socializing, and general care for both friendly and unfriendly cats. As everyone knows one of the toughest parts of working with cats is medications, and I have experience administering liquid and pill medication to three extremely uncooperative kittens, as well as assisting with flea preventatives for more than 20 cats. I even have experience with reptiles! Just because your pets isn’t a common type, doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve the same level of care as a cat or dog. I’m here to make sure their enclosure maintains proper conditions, they receive any medications needed, and they get their feed worms every night! Whether your pet needs a calm presence, lots of playtime, or special attention to medical needs, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m a young professional with a full-time day job, but it’s pretty flexible. I’m typically available morning before 8am and evening after 4pm, and on my lunch breaks if you’re in the Dover area. I can shift around my schedule a bit on an as needed basis. I want to make sure your pets have a loving environment while you’re away! I’ll make sure they have consistent access to food, water, medicine, walks, and playtime in line with their routine. I know firsthand how important routines can be for our furry friends, and will make sure they don’t have to lose their routine while you’re away.
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Busara with the care of our 9-month-old kitten for five nights, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Busara demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine affection for our kitten. Throughout our trip, she kept us consistently informed, sending regular updates and photos that showcased our kitten’s well-being and playful moments. Her attentive communication provided us with peace of mind, knowing our pet was in caring and capable hands. Upon our return, it was evident that our kitten had been well-cared for, appearing content and healthy. Busara’s dedication and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”

“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my babies! I got some great pictures and she went above and beyond to make sure I knew what was going on with them while I was away! I will definitely be using her again if she’s available next time I go out of town!!”

About: I have been caring for my own pets for 8 years as well as people in my neighborhoods pets for about 5 years. I absolutely love animals and treat them as if they were my own. I am currently in school and work part time on campus in the evenings but I can still make time to look after your lovely pets! I have hours to spare between classes and would definitely do my utmost to ensure we both can reach to an agreement on time! There is not much fencing in my apartment complex, however there is a decent amount of space and grass to move around if your pet loves to walk! There is also a lake that we could stroll around for a some fresh air and a view.
“Rachael was amazing! couldn’t have asked for anything more from her, they would send me updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day and it felt like i left my cat with a friend rather than a stranger. She made poseidon feel very comfortable and welcomed? i would definitely recommend and would 100% use her services again if i ever need a cat sitter. Thank you so much Rachael!”

“Olga took care of our cat, BK, exceedingly well. She gave him plenty of attention, took care of all of his needs in the best manner, and spent time with him. He told us he appreciated her and her visits so much! Thank you, Olga!”

“Christina took excellent care of our two cats and a hermit crab while we were away for a whole holiday week. The update notes and photos made us feel so much better while we were so far away. Her knowledge and skills gave us complete confidence, and we would absolutely book with her again in the future.”
