House Sitting in Elkton

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.

“Christine was great with our dog. She made sure to follow all of our instructions and attended a meet n great to meet us and our dog. She was always communicative and sent updates/pictures while we were away. We loved having her stay with our dog!”

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!”

Jarrett W.

“Second time we’ve used Jenni and Matt and they are just plain wonderful! Pups always well taken care of when we return and lots of pics/videos sent while we were gone. 100% would recommend booking them!”

Caitlyn C.

“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!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention, and genuine love for pets. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 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.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting since I was in high school. I’m also masters student studying in animal science so I know a lot about dogs! My schedule is very flexible. Service can be in early morning or late at night or even on weekends. I can work around your schedule. I have a cockapoo who will keep your dog accompany. Also, I live in clean neighborhood where I can take your dog on a walk several times a day.

About: I have cared for both cats and dogs throughout my life, from cleaning litter boxes to administering medications there are many skills I have gained through my experiences. I wouldn't consider myself to be a "dog" or "cat" person because I love them all the same, I could not possibly choose! I currently work full-time in adult care, and am available Monday and Tuesday after 5 pm, Wednesday after 8:30 pm, Thursday and Friday after 5 pm, and Saturday and Sunday any time. I am able to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home and keep them in their normal routines or in any way needed.

“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,

About: With a lifelong passion for pets, I offer more than just care. I provide a loving, safe, and fun environment for your furry family members. I'm dedicated to their happiness and well-being, treating every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. You can trust that your pet is in the best possible hands. Because I run my own business and set my own hours, my schedule is flexible and can easily adapt to your pet's needs. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday visit, or a late-night check-in, I can provide consistent, reliable care whenever your fur baby needs it. While you're away, I'll provide your pet with personalized care in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. This includes following their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'll also provide videos or pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is well-cared for.
