House Sitting in Dover

“Ms.Liz was so great with my Bogart. I couldn't even believe that my Bogart gave him kissess and plays with her which means, Ms.Liz is kind and can be trusted. She even sent me pictures and videos that kept myself from worrying about my baby. Now I know which one to call and can leave my baby safely. Highly recommended.. Thanks again Ms.Liz for taking care of my boy.. Me and Elmar appreciate it sooooo much.. Thank you a million times..😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰”

“Samantha was great! Very communicative, which I always appreciate when I'm away from my dog. She was flexible and my dog seemed really comfortable around her. It's always a great feeling to know your pet is well taken care of when you're away. We booked Samantha for house sitting and she left our house very clean and tidy. No messes or hassles whatsoever. She was wonderful!”

“Luie took SUCH great care of our 3 doggies! He sent a TON of pictures, which we greatly appreciated, and took care of our house as well! The dogs were excited to see us, but I think they were sad to see Luie go! We will definitely reach out to Luie in the future when we need exceptional care of our pets!”

About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

“Krista did an amazing job! She was very friendly and our dog Molly did great with her. Krista was very attentive to Molly and was very respectful of our home. She kept us updated and sent pictures! We will definitely be having Krista watch our fur baby again! Thank you Krista ❤️”

“Margaret did a GREAT job watching my two dogs and bunny for a week while my husband and I were on vacation. She even got our mail for us even though I forgot to ask her to. I got consistent updates and communication all week. My animals were happy and healthy when I came home and my house was still clean, everything in place.”

About: I have many years of experience with different breeds and ages of dogs, including pitbulls, Samoyeds, Great Danes, and German shepherds. Larger dogs do not scare me, and I am open to all ages. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer services during the day, roughly every four hours. my personal life is quiet enough to allow me to drop in on shorter notice as compared to other sitters possibly. I live in a small studio apartment, so taking care of your pet and your home will be much easier and also keep them more comfortable while you are away. With that said, if you were to leave me strict instructions on what your pet is used to, prefers, and what you would like specifically, I will follow those rules exactly to keep your pets safe and comfortable and give you peace of mind.

About: I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the past few years. I’ve watched as many as 4 big dogs at a time. I love to cat sit, I’ve cat sat for a friend of a friend many times!

I’m a college student and I only work every other weekend so I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pet whenever is best for their schedule. I have 3 sweet kitties and one big Dalmatian. I walk my Dalmatian at least 2 miles everyday. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I would be happy to take your doggie on a nice walk!

About: I've been working as a veterinary assistant for about 8 years now! Before then, I worked as a pet sitter and a doggie daycare worker! I'm currently in school and working in clinicals, so I no longer get to work full time. I'd love to care for your pets in my free ❤ While pet sitting, I treat pets as of they were my own. Im very detail oriented and want your pet to be as happy and stress-free as possible while you're away, so giving me the more information on their care, the better!

About: Since I was a teenager, I've been entrusted with the care of pets belonging to friends, relatives, and neighbors. They know they can rely on me to give their furry buddies the attention they deserve. What sets me apart is my experience in administering various medications, including insulin for both dogs and cats. I've become quite skilled at handling those sometimes-tricky injections. Whether it's insulin, oral medications, or other prescribed treatments, I'll make sure your pet gets the right dosage at the right time. On top of that, I have two cats and two dogs of my own who are my absolute world. Having my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, love, and understanding when it comes to providing exceptional care. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive the highest level of care. From medication administration to cuddles and playtime, I'll give your furry companions all the attention and love they need. They'll be in great hands with me!

During the day, I'm available to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy. Regular bathroom breaks are a must, and I'll make sure your furry friends have plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs and do their business while they're with me. Once my workday winds down in the evenings, my focus shifts to spending quality time with the pets in my care. We'll go for leisurely walks, engage in playful activities, and I'll give them all the attention they need to keep their tails wagging and their spirits high. If needed, I can easily rearrange my workspace to stay close to your pets throughout the day.

Rest assured that your pets will be pampered and loved as if they were my own. I understand the importance of consistency, and I'll create a warm and structured environment where your furry companions can thrive and feel right at home. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, trust, and happiness, whether they're in my home or in their own cozy space. For dogs, I have a fantastic fenced-in yard where they can freely explore and have a blast off-leash. It's a secure space where they can burn off their energy and have a paw-some time! If your furry friend is a small animal that prefers or requires a crate, I've got you covered. I have crates available to ensure their comfort and safety. Just let me know if you'd like them to have their own cozy space.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.
