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

“Sara is a wonderful puppy sitter! Her home is welcoming and comfortable. Mina is at home when she is at Sara‘s. I appreciate you Sara: your kindness and compassion and the love you have shown Mina puts me at ease. I feel very comfortable talking to you and I know Mina loves being in your company. We look forward to many more visits with you, Penny, and the rest of your family.”

“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.”

“Cindi is phenomenal with Finn! He absolutely loves going to her house and playing with all the other pups. She spends time to personally to get to know you and your pup. Makes you feel comfortable leaving your pet there. He has become more social and well-behaved for a new puppy. happy to have found her and honestly Finn never wants to leave haha!”

“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!”

“Anna is amazing! The test of whether my dog is well is taken care of is how he acts when I bring him back after the first day. After one day with Anna he pulled me all the way from the road to her door, impatiently anticipated her opening the door, and then flew inside to greet her like he does our closest family and friends. In addition, she is a genuinely kind person who is helpful and flexible. Don’t hesitate to book with her! Your pup will be in the best of hands with Anna! 💕”

“This was my first time leaving my dog so I was nervous, but my dog warmed up to Cecilia right away! It’s a great home for dogs with plenty of space. When I picked my dog up she was tired, calm, and so happy! Great experience:)”

“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!”

“Amy and Cathy were very good with my old man Sidney, who is a sort of anxious beagle mix. They indulged me with a second meet and greet before his first stay. Apparently he didn't miss me as much as I thought he would! He did well and we will definitely be going back. Thanks so much!”

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.
