Dog Sitting in Dover

About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

“As always, Nicole did a fabulous job. This time we were international and because Nicole was so trustworthy, professional, and outstanding in shorter visits in the past, we felt totally comfortable asking her to care for our senior cats for two weeks—they’re a handful as two need prescription diets and one was on medication. Nicole took excellent care of them. I’d trust her any time.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a baby. When I got to middle school my friend asked to watch her dogs while her family was out of town and I agreed. While Covid was still around I would do virtual school and take care of our dogs while my parents worked. I am hoping to do this part time while I am home from college (Between Middle of May and Early August). I am available any time during the day. I can feed the dogs or medicine if needed, fill the water bowls, take them outside (a fenced yard is preferred please or trained), I am willing to walk dogs to get any energy out.

“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.”

“Teresa did great checking on our pup for us! She sent pictures and videos and we knew our puppy was in good hands with her. She’s very caring and will always recommend.”

About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.

About: Hi everyone! I spent 10 wonderful years dog sitting in Myrtle Beach, SC for friends, family, and through Rover. I live in Delaware now with my boyfriend and our fur child, Willow :). I work from home during summer and winter months, and I am available for dog walking or hosting your dog in our home (as long as they get along with other dogs). If this sounds like a good fit, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you! I work from home during summer and winter months. I am home all day so my schedule is very flexible to care for your pet. Now that I have a dog of my own, I do not care for pets in clients' homes. But, caring for your pet in my home will involve the same love and care that I give to my own, in addition to anything special that he or she needs.

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.

“Amber did a wonderful job with our dogs!”

About: Using my 25 years of experience, including some in a vets office setting, I can care for your pup. Ranging from small to large, I can adjust my level of care to your k9 companion so they can learn to be comfortable with me. I use my understanding of body language and match their playful energy to cater to their needs. We can take a trip to the dog park, take a walk, or just come over for a visit while you are away. I have a pretty flexible schedule with some days being tied up. Available most days, evenings and weekends I am able to provide the care needed for you furry friend. I provide the care using the instructions of the pets parents. I will usually like to spend a little time with the parents and the pup so that everyone can become comfortable and secure knowing the best level of care is going into this service.

“Kelsey did a fine job for us. Dogs liked her and they got their daily walk in. This was our second time working with her. We’d request her again but our schedules aren’t working out this time.”

About: From the time I was born there has always been a animal in the house. I have own or care for some really Exotic animals. From a Von Derk Decken Hornbill to a pony. I want to be that pet sitter who will send you pictures or answer your questions at really random hours. If your going on a trip on the other side of the world. I want to be the person who doesn't have open and closing hours. I believe animals should wear Identification at all times when in a new place. That leachs should be on before door are ever unlocked. Cats in carries before doors are unlocked. I have two dogs of my own and I love taking them with me and will plane trips around them going but some times they just can't go. I hate asking family or friends to watch them because I don't think anyone is as over bearing as me and will not watch them like I do lol. So I want to be that person for other people too. So I work 12 hour shifts on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday from 5pm to 5:30am. I am OK with taking pets those days but I just need people to know at night I'll have to put them up. In my house my dogs are played and watched around the clock. We work on simple task and training. Seen my basset hound is still young we are working on potty training. We go to the vet over the smallest things because I am that crazy dog mom lol. Mostly we play and play and play. At other people houses we follow their rules to a T. If pets need to be brushed then we brush. If pets need boil water then filter throw a tear bag then we do it. I want to do it how you do it so it doesn't stress them. So when you come home you animal is safe and happy and healthy.
