“Jenna takes care of Sheldon like he was her own cat. He loves her and so do we. She’s the best and this will not be the last time we book Jenna. We love her and rover gives us such peace of mind.”

About: I have had three dogs for the past 4 years and I have lots of experience taking care of other people’s dogs. I have most experience with small and medium size dogs. I have extremely flexible hours, and I’m willing to take care of your animal any day of the week! I have three pets of my own and understand the time and care that needs to go into pet sitting. I will care for your pets in your home exactly how you would like me to care for them per your instructions and expectations! :)
“Abby did great taking care if our boys! I didn't receive very many in-the-moment updates/pictures which was outside of what Im used to, but she spent significant time we'll outside of the 30 minute expected window taking being present and caring for our cats. I felt safe knowing they were in good hands - no complaints.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities for over five years. Neighbors, friends and family count on me to walk, feed, bathe and give their pets plenty of love and attention—keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free I'm currently working part-time from home , so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! ! I'm available for boarding anytime . I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable in a familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, and playtime, and keep everything tidy and secure. I give plenty of affection, monitor water and food, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
About: I had 2 dogs, a shibu-chi mix and shitzu females that act like adorable little sisters. My sister also owns 2 dogs, a little black poodle dog and pitbull-terrier mix, both of whom I love so very much! I’ve had to petsit for her many years, so I am familiar working with big dogs. In the Philippines, I had a grey puppy named Jamie, that was a very rare and intelligent breed! By the time I had to fly back to the states, he was potty-trained and knew basic commands(sit, stay, paw, etc.) I hope to own my own big dog someday! I make room for pet-sitting at the end of the week, usually Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would make the schedule fit into my calendar that works for the owner and make it apart of my daily routine. In the clients home, I’m only going to do what is required and requested for the petsitting time period. If there are any additional notes that I need to know, particularly for the pets needs then I will need to know before I arrive at the location. I implement a set schedule to ensure I can meet the requirements of all of my clients accordingly and efficiently, so that I’m sure I’m prepared for anything in the owners absence.
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She was right on time, very flexible, super sweet, and treated my puppy, Fern, like her own! She and Fern became fast friends, and Fern was very sad to see Julia go. I’ll be booking with Julia again, no question about that!”

About: Hi! My family has always had dogs for as long as I can remember. From puppies madness to senior sunsets, I’ve loved every stage that comes with having pets. During summers I’ve provided in house care for neighbors pets allowing them a “vacation” from staying home all day. I would be more than happy to get to know your pet as well as yourself ! I am currently a graduate students at UD only taking classes 2 days a week. I am quite flexible with hours and more than happy to include daily walks and visits into my routine! Having had pets myself, I pride myself for caring for others as if they are my own. I am willing to do whatever I can to ensure a comfortable experience for both pets and owners!
“Shuyi did a great job sitting for our shy 16-year old kitty. The daily pictures and updates showed her patience working to befriend Midnight, who was asking for pets and following her around on just a couple of days. We had warned Shuyi that she might hide under a bed during each visit. We were very pleased with the visit and will call on Shuyi again.”

About: I have helped care for my family’s dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and my love of animals has grown deeper into my adulthood.

I am excited for the opportunity to care for your family’s pets! I am a full-time special education teacher, so I am available and ready to play with and assist your pets in the evenings on weekdays and any time on weekends.

“Tre is on time and communicates all about the visit. He is extremely professional and easy to work with. Plus my dog did not bark at him!!! While my Bella has fears and anxiety issues, he found ways to work with her. We will definitely use him again!”

“I highly recommend A’Ja. Her communication was great and the daily pictures always brought a smile to our face. We never worried about our pets knowing A’ja was taking care of them. Not only did she help with the pets, she also helped get our internet online so my husband wouldn’t stress.”


About: Hi there! My name is Kelsie, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. With over 15 years of both professional and personal pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding of animals of all kinds and the love they deserve. I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to birds, fish, and small animals. In fact, my own home is full of furry (and feathery!) family members—I currently have four dogs, a bird, a fish, and a chinchilla. Because of this, I’m very familiar with different temperaments, routines, and care needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or has medical needs that require special attention, you can trust that they’ll be in capable and compassionate hands. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and am attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented when it comes to following care instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and strive to make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I have a busy schedule but I always make time for my clients and their pets. And they always have my focus while I am spending time with them. My husband helps me with my services and between the two of us someone is almost always home! I believe that care should be tailored to each specific pet, so I do not have a set care plan until I meet you and your pets
