About: I worked at a dog/cat kennel for over 3 years. I was fortunate enough to work with all breeds, sizes, ages, and behavioral levels. I want to give your pet the best and most comfortable experience while you're away! I am a college student at UD studying ecology. My schedule is generally pretty open with the exception of morning classes (~9 am - 11 am). My availability varies, but I can be flexible! Feel free to message me to inquire! I understand that all pets have different needs and preferences. I am comfortable playing with your dog in their home, taking them on walks, or little field trips and hikes (for the more energetic pups) around Delaware if you'd like! I have a soft spot for senior cats and dogs, so I am also more than happy to take things slower and give them the extra TLC they might need.

Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!

About: I have always been left alone with dogs, I adore them and always make sure they are not doing anything bad, staying out of trouble, staying safe, but having fun! I have been around just about every size dog in my life, a large great dane, a medium golden doodle, and chihuahuas. I am a student, a senior in High-School, so by doing this on Friday/Saturdays I am ensuring that the owners can go live their life, do what they need to do, while I make sure their furry friend is safe. I have been around about every size dog. I do not let the animals leave my sight. I will play with them to keep them entertained and in my visual, if they get tired, I will stay in the area they are resting in, to keep a peace of mind for myself, and to ensure your pets safety. Better safe then sorry!

About: I have taken care of my neighbors and family members dogs for years while they are on vacation! I love going on walks and playing! I’m currently working part-time, so I would be willing to walk or dog sit during the early mornings, afternoons, and evening depending on my schedule. I am off on Sundays, Mondays, and usually an additional day of the week. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I follow your pet's routine exactly, keep a clean environment, and give constant supervision. I make sure doors, leashes, and feeding times are handled carefully so your pet feels safe and relaxed.

We loved Michaela! She took the stress out of leaving our cat for the week. It was our first experience with Rover and we will absolutely be asking her to come back and hang with Kitty when we go away! She was wonderful with updates and making sure our cat and home were always in perfect shape. She is so caring and made sure our cat took her pill morning and night. Thank you for treating Kitty just like your own!

Tre has a calm demeanor & is very professional. He came over prior to house sitting to meet our dog, who took to him immediately. He followed our schedule, took him for long walks and when we came home our dog was well adjusted and comforted. Thank you, Tre for a job well done!

I’m gentle with senior pets and patient with puppies. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be available to take good care of your pet during the day and or the night I care for pets by following their daily routine, giving them love, attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own, whether in my home or my client’s home.

Terry did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of my two dogs and cat for an entire week. She was very professional and provided regular videos and updates. All the animals looked so happy. Our cat is shy with strangers and it only took a couple days for her to start warming up to Terry. I know they were well taken care of. The house was also very clean which is a nice relief when you get home after traveling. I would 100% recommend Terry and will be using her again.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and have spent most of my adult life volunteering for 2 animal rescue organizations. I fostered over 170 cats for my last organization (that was over a period of 15 years!) caring for all ages as well as taking in some with medical needs. I'm skilled at administering medications of all sorts and we currently have an asthmatic cat that takes an inhaler. I've been a "cat person" my whole life, but love dogs too! My husband and I love the large breeds, in particular Mastiffs. We currently have 3 cats plus a Mastiff who is the biggest baby. :-) We recently moved to Delaware (from just outside of DC) and I'm looking to re-start pet sitting as I LOVE meeting new furbabies and taking care of them. I used to pet sit in VA but put it to the side when fostering took up most of my free time. I recently took an early retirement and have plenty of free time so can offer flexibility. Since I'm married my husband helps takes care of our own cats/dog, and he understands my love of animals and desire to help others. I understand that every cat/dog is unique, with their own personality and needs. I will take the time to get to know each one and tailor my approach to ensure their comfort level,

Fiona was awesome with our dog Dylan. She did a meet and greet a week before and then watched him for the weekend while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and letting us know how he was doing, which was awesome and when we got home, he seemed like a happy pup. Fiona kept our house clean and Dylan happy and loved while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!

Last minute booking and was happy to have found Fiona. Now, ecstatic that I did !!!! She did a meet a greet for about an hour a few days before we left to meet us and the pups. Showed up on time on the start date, stayed in touch to make sure we were comfortable and was waiting at our home on our return date. Pups were excited to see us, but we could tell they had been just fine without us. Our home was clean and in order. Fiona....Thank You, Connie and I truly appreciate it.
