“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”
About: I have had pets my entire life and love being around animals! I have pet sat for many friends and neighbors so I am very comfortable spending time with your furry friends! I am currently on summer break before I go to grad school and have a very light, flexible schedule so I have so much time to spend with your pups! I am open to taking care of your animals however they are most comfortable, whether that's going outside, being put in a crate, or however you seem best fit!
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life, as I grew up in a pet-loving household where we cared for everything from hamsters and turtles to multiple dogs, guinea pigs, ferrets, and even fish. I’ve also volunteered both formally and informally with local SPCA chapters and animal shelters from a young age, helping to walk, feed, and care for dogs of a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have hands on experience with dogs who need extra attention and medical care. I've raised two dogs from puppyhood—my current dog, Sophia, and a pit bull my family had previously—and have done everything from potty training to leash work and daily routines. Sophia is diabetic and blind, so I’m no stranger to giving insulin shots, monitoring glucose levels, and understanding how to be patient and calm with pets who have special needs or anxiety. Whether it's caring for seniors, puppies, or pets with health conditions, I always aim to treat them like family because that’s exactly what they are. I am currently on break from school at the University of Delaware, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Preferably, I am available after 10:00 AM and before 8:00 PM. For overnights, I will stay with your pet for 12 hours (start/end depends on animals schedule) and do one drop in during the mid day. Reach out to me for additional care options (constant care, additional visits, etc.)! When I care for pets through walks or drop-in visits, I approach each home and animal with respect, patience, and awareness. I know every pet has their own personality, boundaries, and needs, so I'll never assume anything upon first meeting. I take time to observe their behavior, let them come to me at their own pace, and make sure we’re both comfortable before jumping into getting close and personal. This also helps me gauge what kind of interaction they’re ready for and to prioritize safety—for your pet and for myself—by staying alert to their body language, keeping a calm energy, and never rushing trust. I will follow any specific instructions you give closely, especially if your pet has particular sensitivities or routines. I also take practical steps on walks, like avoiding overly stimulating routes or unknown dogs, and I’m always careful with things like leashing, doors, or feeding to avoid stress or accidents. I recently earned a certificate from the American Red Cross in Pet CPR and First Aid, so I am prepared even for the worst situations (which I hope I never will have to be 😅).

About: I'm an experienced vet assistant, and have 4 fur babies of my own! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and petsit their pets for years. I have a diabetic cat, and am experienced with giving insulin, and administering other medications to cats/dogs. I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant. I'm available during my lunch break, most evenings and weekends to provide quality pet care 🙂 I'll walk your dog and clean up after them during the walk. I'll make sure there's enough food & water for your pet, and clean their bowls as needed.
About: I care for your pets like they’re my own—no rushed visits, and full attention tailored to your pet’s personality and routine. Will send frequent updates and photos if preferred! I do work but have a lot of days off during the week to be able to care for your pets when you need it When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow all your instructions closely, from feeding routines to walk schedules. Your pet will stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’ll make sure they get lots of love, playtime, and attention.
About: My mom would foster up to 5 dogs at a time when I was a kid and I’ve always taken an interest in their care. Since being out on my own and having my own dog that I bonded with, my level of attention to animals is just different. I’m here for it all and have plenty of energy to share! Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday are open, Thursday Friday Saturday have limited availability due to my work schedule. I am able to modify some things as needed. With the owners preferences? I’m not entirely sure how to answer this question because it would depend on what you want me to do, especially in your home.

“Rhiannon is excellent with all animals, especially dogs. She is very kind, patient and responsible with them. I have personally witnessed this as she takes care of her own dog who is blind with diabetes. She is so loving, gives her dog a lot of attention, empathizes with the dog being blind and has infinite patience. She is very responsible for her dog taking her to the vet and making sure she gets her insulin twice a day. Rhiannon has a way with dogs that I have never seen. They love her and are automatically attracted to her. I have used her to take care of my own dogs. They love her and everything went perfectly!”
