About: Hi, I’m Jenning — your dog’s new favorite human 🐾✨ I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years — from bouncy puppies to sweet seniors and everything in between. I’m that person who stops mid-conversation to greet a dog on the street, no shame. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some TLC while you’re away, or just a familiar face to help ease separation anxiety, I’m your girl. I live in a beautiful, pet-friendly apartment in Wilmington, DE with my own sweet dog (a total angel), and I treat every dog that comes into my space like family. Think cozy vibes, lots of affection, and a whole lot of tail wags. I work from home most days, so I’m fully present for the pups in my care. I’m also big on structure and communication — you’ll get regular updates, pics, and total peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, loved, and thriving.I’ve handled all types of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. High-energy? Let’s run it out. Shy and sensitive? I’ll sit with them until they’re ready. I’m here to make sure your dog feels at home, even when you’re not. Let’s get your pup on my calendar. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and love they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or winding down with evening cuddles, I build my day around the dogs in my care. I’m super intentional about keeping a calm, structured, and loving environment — so your pet’s routine becomes part of mine, seamlessly. Whether a dog is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I always prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment. In my home, dogs have designated cozy spaces to relax, constant supervision, and absolutely zero access to anything that could put them at risk. I keep my place tidy, dog-friendly, and peaceful — no chaos, just good energy and tail wags. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with deep respect and follow every instruction to the letter — feeding, crate time, meds, routines — all of it. I always check gates, doors, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety. I believe in clear communication, gentle leadership, and building trust through consistency and affection. Every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their needs so they feel secure, seen, and fully cared for — wherever they are

“Was very friendly and welcoming. Kept me updated and informed with my puppy. He seemed very calm and happy. Definitely recommend and would be back!”

“When I say Ms. Rita is an ALL STAR sitter, I’m talking about a true professional. I don’t even LIVE in Delaware, but I attended my brother’s wedding there, and she literally SAVED MY LIFE at the last moment, and babysat my pup BLUE at the last minute! I reached out to her at 7:30 in the morning, for an afternoon drop off, and not only did she reply almost immediately to confirm some details, she accepted the booking! Ms. Rita is just as DELIGHTFUL, WARM, KIND, PROFESSIONAL, CARING, and OVERALL AMAZING as she may appear on this profile. I have never left my dog anywhere except for his groomer, and I was PLEASANTLY shocked at how well my dog took to her and her FABULOUS dog, and the other dog that she was watching. Not only did she send me photo updates, she was so highly communicative the entire time before during and even after…. I mean…. I made my brother’s wedding, and didn’t have to worry about my dog and his accommodations (dogs weren’t showered unfortunately) because I was so grateful for and confident in the care being provided by Ms. Rita. Folks… don’t overwhelm her with bookings… but definitely look no further !!!! She is phenomenal, and I wish I lived in Delaware now just so that I can bring my fur baby here more often! I can only hope to find someone like her in NY. Thank you again!!!!! She is simply the best! I feel like she treated my dog like her very own ??? Great sitter.”

“As usual, Sara was there for me. I needed her to take Mina for the day and I requested a stay at the last minute. Sara did not hesitate and was happy to keep Mina. When I picked Mina up, I had the pleasure of meeting Sara's children! Delightful little kids who clearly love having Mina over to play with them. Thanks, again, Sara!”

I also make sure my home is pet-proofed and secure to ensure their safety at all times. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions to maintain a familiar routine for them, keeping their comfort and safety top priority. Regular updates and photos will help you feel connected and assured that your pet is thriving in my care.

“We booked Shanisa last minute to watch our two dogs, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled. We had a meet-and-greet before, and she was clearly very kind and engaged with the dogs. She had an array of toys and harnesses and came extremely prepared. She sent us video and photo updates to put us at ease. Our dogs had a blast, and we just wish she was in every city we visited!”

“Our dog was well cared for and loved during his day care stay! We could tell he had a wonderful time at Cecelia’s and definitely came out of it making some new friends! Thank you so much!!!”

Joy L.

“Courtney was great with our dog! We needed to find a sitter last minute and she was happy to help out. She was quick to respond to everything, provided updates throughout the day, and kept our dog in great care. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and had family pets throughout my childhood. I’ve been a pet owner for 12 years and look forward to helping you meet your pets needs. I work mostly from home so I have flexibility to care for your dogs needs. I’m also available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have family home with a fenced in backyard to let your dog take care of their needs and sunbathe if they so desire. I have a dog and cat who can keep your fur baby lots of company. I also have space to crate your fur baby if you so wish.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I love dogs so much and am excited to get to know yours. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. We aim to walk about two miles a day and would love for your pup to join us! Dogs are allowed on couches and on the bed here. I have experience with different types of needs - food motivation, diapers, medicine, etc. Let me know what your pet needs to feel at home! I work from home five days a week. My dogs need frequent care, so I can provide frequent care for yours as well! Dogs are embedded into my weekly routine. I have a (soon to be fenced in) yard that my dogs often explore. We have walking paths around the neighborhood we use just about every day! We have a spacious home and plenty of room for another friend :)

About: I provide loving, personalized care for all pets. I’m experienced caring for puppies and senior pets, including giving medication and extra support. Your pet will feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure to spend quality time feeding, walking, playing, and monitoring each pet’s health every day. I also keep a consistent schedule to help pets feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I update owners with reports and adjust care as needed to meet each pet’s unique needs. At my home, where I live in an apartment with my friendly dog, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable space for pets to relax and play. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and stress-free. For clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintaining their pet’s usual schedule and environment to minimize disruption. In both settings, I provide lots of attention, affection, and monitor their health to ensure they’re feeling their best.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets and animals from a young age. I appreciate and love animal life in all shapes and sizes. I’d love to care for your furry friend while you’re away! I currently work from home, so I am able to attend to your pets every need throughout the day. I’m also able to accommodate special requests. I am an early riser and enjoy taking the pets for walks early in the morning, and in the evening. My yard is treated naturally in the warmer months to keep fleas and ticks away, I also utilize a pet waste removal service to ensure my outdoor space is as safe and clean as it can be to accommodate my pet guests.

About: I'm a passionate dog lover with a special knack for puppy training. I'm also a proud corgi mom, so I know how to handle even the most energetic breeds with patience and love! I'm currently working full time as a phlebotomist, but I have off every Sunday and at least one other week day. Also, every other week I work day shift so I have time to walk your pet if need be in the evenings. All you have to do is ask if I'm available a certain day at least 3 days in advance and I'll be sure to tell you if I can help! I currently live in an apartment and have plenty of space in the living room to set up your dog's bed, crate, food bowls, etc. Plus, if they feel lonely, I have a 1 and a half your old corgi named Clyde who is super friendly and playful. However, if you need your dog to cared for alone, I am able to keep Clyde in a separate area. On another note, if I needed to come to your place to do a drop in visit, please know I would respect your space and follow the instructions you provide.

“Riley was great! Rizzo was super happy when we picked her up. Riley was great with this short notice booking. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! 👋 I'm Sarah, and I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. As a responsible and experienced pet owner, dog walker, and pet sitter with over 10 years of experience, I understand the unique needs of every animal. My background includes several years working at a veterinary clinic, giving me valuable insight into animal health and well-being. I've even volunteered alongside veterinarians in rural Southeast Asia, assisting with vaccination drives for stray dogs and offering free veterinary care to families. You can trust that your furry friends are in loving and capable hands with me. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pets, whether it's a brisk walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. Contact me today to discuss your pet's needs! I offer a range of personalized pet services: whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm here to help! I'm committed to providing compassionate and professional care for your beloved companions. Contact me today to discuss your pet's specific needs and create a customized care plan🫶 As a full-time pet care professional (and former vet tech!), pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized small dogs and specialize in creating a calm, loving environment for both small dogs and gentle giants. I have extensive experience with senior pets, dogs with special needs, and pups who just need a little extra TLC. I work from home and structure my days around the animals in my care, with walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of cozy couch cuddles. I’m rarely away for more than 3–4 hours, so your dog will have a steady, comforting presence and personalized attention all day long. Whether they’re energetic or easygoing, your pup will feel safe, cared for, and right at home here. In my home, pets are truly treated like family. I usually only care for one (and no more than three) visiting dogs at a time, in addition to my own friendly resident pups, so each guest gets plenty of individualized attention. Every dog has their own cozy private space for naps, meals, and downtime, and a large shared area for safe, supervised play if they enjoy socializing. I remove toys during group play to prevent guarding issues and ensure calm, respectful interactions. Dogs are walked three times a day and also have supervised leashed or tethered access to my private yard for fresh air, sniffing, and sunshine. When the weather is nice, we love lounging on the porch or stretching out on a blanket in the grass together. Whether they’re here for boarding or daycare, your dog will enjoy a calm, structured, and loving environment where their needs and comfort come first. When caring for pets in their own homes, I aim to maintain their usual routines and comforts as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. My experience as a former vet tech gives me confidence in caring for seniors, special needs pets, and administering medications safely and gently.

“I was in need of dog sitting services while I took my mother to her annual doctor visit at Univ. Of Pennsylvania. I contacted Samantha and she graciously accepted my request without the usual "meet and greet". Since we didn't have a "Meet n Greet" prior to the day I booked her, I arrived a bit early so we could have an opportunity to chat prior to me leaving my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Benny, with her. Samantha sent me photos of Benny with her pug, Minnie and her two Goldens' Wesley and Reya. I felt even more comfortable knowing that she's a certified vet tech! It is evident Samantha loves animals and will treat your furbaby like her own. I knew Benny was left in very capable hands. I can't thank her enough. I will definitely rebook with her.”

“We have had Samantha and Travis' help twice now. Our dog Cleo loves playing in the yard with their dog Gunner. We are grateful for their help!”
