“Danielle was wonderful with our daughters, Anna and Elsa, she played with them, gave them lots of affection, fed them, and sent us updates every day along with plenty of photos. The cats absolutely loved her.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.
“Our cat loved Carol. We appreciated her adherance to our kitty's dietary needs and her willingness to pick up our mail for us, too. She provided timely communication and photos as well.”
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 5 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. I currently work full time in downtown Delaware from 8:00-4:30, give or take the commute to and from your home. However, my weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.
“Mirelsa has been so good to our 4 cats! She is very thorough and always gives us a report and photos (!!) of our girls when we can’t be home with them. Do not hesitate to hire her for your pets.”
“Grace did a wonderful job taking care if Miss Rose! Miss Rose was content when I got home. Appreciated getting daily updates. I definitely recommend Grace For your pet sitting services and will be using her again.”
About: I have taken care of Dogs, Cats, Reptiles and Rodents my entire life and absolutely love all animals! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! On a normal week I work my day job a few days a week during the day, have class Monday nights then keep every other night as free as possible! I am a musician so usually my schedule is very flexible! I pay very close attention to animals body language and make sure to care for them effectively. I've dealt with everything from super nice dogs to very stand off ish and scared ones and have learned how to deal with each kind of animal differently!
About: I have been around animals my entire life and always have adored them! I have 5 of my own dogs, three of them I have had since they were puppies:) I raised 11 puppies when I was 18 and can handle any messes or anything that comes my way! I am self employed and make my own hours so I am available during the week and weekends! Pet care is a big part of my life. I will always ensure to create a comfortable and welcoming space for your animals as I know it can be stressful for both you and your baby!
“Marilyn did drop-in visits for my senior kitty while I was out of town for a wedding, and she did a great job! My cat is like 100yrs old, lol, so she has some health problems and requires oral medications. Have you ever given a stubborn, geriatric cat pills? It's not easy, but Marlyn got it done! She also asked a lot of questions during our meet and greet and was very thorough in wanting to know everything possible about how to take care of my cat. Marlyn is kind, caring, and follows directions well. I appreciate all that she did, and I would have her back anytime.”
