1. Paz L.
“Ms. Paz Leckie has been taking care of our 6 cats (sadly, now 4 due to diseases of old age) for at least 2 years whenever we have a need to be out of town. Given my job, that's at least 1 to 2 times per month or more frequently on a regular basis. Her love of animals is obvious. She can related to them in ways that inspire confidence. She helps at least weekly with holding our large male cat with early kidney disease who needs subcutaneous fluids as he is one to fight us every step of the way. She gives transdermal methimazole to our moody cat with thyroid disease. She gently and lovingly tended our elderly rescue cat who was isolated in his own room with FIV and feline coronavirus along with kidney and heart disease. She gave him subcutaneous fluids every other day as well as his oral medications while we were away. He adored her. Due, in part, to her care, he thrived. He ultimately died after being with us 6 years with health problems that are usually non survivable. Paz also cared for our cat with oral cancer until she crossed the rainbow bridge. She is completely dependable and has a good head on her shoulders with excellent critical thinking abilities. I give her my highest recommendation as a pet sitter!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just a child. I personally have a 3 year old cat. I have experience in senior pet care as well as bottle feeding. My own dog was in diapers and on medication. My cats were bottle fed. I have experience with other animals such as chickens, gerbils, hamsters, hermit crabs, fish, and small reptiles. I am currently at graduate school at the University of Delaware. As a graduate student, I will be taking 3 classes a week with flexibility with my schedule otherwise. I commute to work 2/3 days a week and it is a 2 hour drive so I can be gone from 7-5. I am willing to work holidays and weekends. I am personally willing to spend as much time as it is necessary to take care of pets. Pet comfort is most important to me and your pet will be in the best hands.

6. Cory B.
“I would recommend Cory B. as a pet caregiver. The reason why is 2018, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. At the time Cory and I were dating, and we got Maya . I was going back and forth for treatments sometimes staying with him and sometimes staying with my parents due to being so weak and sick . Cory took care of my dog the whole time . He would take her for a walk , play with her, take her to a park where she could play with other dogs which she loved doing , and meet her needs whatever she needed .”
7. Anna H.
“Anna was on time and did very well with my dog definitely use her again.”
8. Alissa F.
“I’ve gone to school with Alissa since PK and I’ve become great friends with her. Without a doubt Alissa is one of the most caring and outgoing people I know. She is always willing to give a helping hand and always checks on others. She is always available and easy to reach when I need help and always provides the best advice. Even when we were younger she was always the most responsible and hardworking of my friends. She’s incredibly determined to do a good and thorough job with anything and everything she does. She loves animals and animals absolutely love her. My dog is never friendly with new people but with her he was instantly friendly and only wanted pets and kisses. If there is one person to I’d recommend as a loving pet caregiver, it’s without a doubt Alissa.”
9. Kamryn G.

“Cass is the one for the job! I always call her to care for my pets when I’m out of town. I have 2 dogs and they just love her! One is old and has certain needs and one is young and very energetic and she is great at giving them the time and attention that they need! I always know that they are very well taken care of when I leave them in her care. I would 10/10 recommend her for any of your pet caregiving needs!”
