About: I have 2 of my own dogs that are very much like children to me! I have been around dogs my whole life and have always loved them like they were my own. I have also taken courses on dog training and understanding their behaviors. I will give your dogs a loving and relaxed experience just like I would want for my own! I currently stay at home full time with the dream of having my own dog boarding business so you will never have to worry about your pets being alone! I am a huge dog person so my dogs get treated almost like humans and so would yours! We have plenty of area for your dog/s to roam and be relaxed. I am also able to separate my dogs from others if the situation requires it.
About: I know your pets are family, and that's exactly how I'll treat them. I'm dependable, trustworthy, and committed to providing loving, personalized care. I'll keep your pet's routine consistent, give them plenty of attention and affection, and send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're happy, safe, and well cared for. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pet's needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm happy to provide the level of attention and routine your pets deserve. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your care instructions, provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind. If your pet stays with me, they'll enjoy a calm, family-friendly environment with a fully fenced half-acre backyard that's perfect for running, playing, and exploring.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire life, beginning when I was six years old. Over the past nine years of my military career, I have also gained extensive experience caring for pets while service members were away for field exercises, missions or other military obligations. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, dependable and attentive to individual needs of each animal. I understand the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and ensuring that pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Although I work full time, I have flexible availability outside of work. I am available for pet care and boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 6:00 p.m., allowing me to provide your pets with attentive and reliable care during my available hours. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. Our neighborhood also has several nearby parks and a large open field close to our home, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and exploration. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I will follow the owners instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily routines. I will also treat the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home, keeping the space clean and secure while providing the pet with plenty of attention and companionship.
“My Bonnie had a great time with Amanda while I was on vacation! It was lovely to have pictures of her playing and happy each day. Amanda is very easy to work with, and it's clear that she really loves animals and will take care of Bonnie just like I would.”
“Michelle was a great dog sitter for us. Our dog was very happy and comfortable at her home. It was very clear when we picked him up that he was very content at her house. We appreciated the updates and photos she sent us during our dog’s stay. Highly recommend Michelle and I will be a return customer.”
“Sacha was phenomenal with my pup! I had to leave last minute for 4 days, and she was amazing. Available last minute, daily picture updates, and no problems at all. Her two dogs took my pup under their wing and Molly had an absolute blast!! Sacha also bathed and clipped my dogs nails. Truly an amazing and caring person. Cannot say enough good things!!”
About: I have pet sit my whole life. I love animals of all kinds and am happy to provide love and care to your fur babies. I work full time, but will be able to tend to the pets every 4-8 hours. I take daily walks so your dogs will get plenty of exercise with me! I have a fenced in yard and do not have pets in the home. I have plenty of room for the animals to roam free. I am also capable of handling pets with medical issues.
“Michelle was so accommodating and very organized. She sent updates every day and was so amazing with our puppy. She’s so knowledgeable and made us feel at ease since our puppy was still healing from his injury.”
“My 1st experience in Nashville last yr was terrible with the sitter I chose. So entrusting my dogs again, was a bit more worrisome for me. But Amanda was AMAZING! She kept consistent communication, and she willing to keep them last minute. They had an amazing time which I could tell for the daily photos Thank you again, and definitely would booking her from now on if she's available.”
About: I have taken care of many different dogs over the last 4 years. I’ve watched older, young, big, and small dogs and even cats! I would watch my friends dogs and they would pass my name along to their friends I am currently working an 8 to 5. But I have a lunch break and most my evenings are free! I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening times. I live in a first floor apartment with plenty of space for your fur baby to play! I have a cat of my own who would love to meet a new friend!
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.

96% of sitters in Dover can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dover home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dover.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dover sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
