“Doris was great! My girls loved her and were so well taken care of. They've got a crazy schedule and special medications and she handled it with no problem at all. She's already booked for our next outing.”

“Tara was wonderful! She did a meet and great prior to sitting for our dog in-home and was super communicative and accommodating during our time away. Would love to use her again!”

“Kyle was fantastic with our puppy. He is very kind, calm, and built a great bond with her right away. Even though our puppy is still quite energetic, he handled her confidently and kept her well engaged. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Lou was in great hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”

“Charlotte does a great job with Jackson. She sends lots of updates which makes us feels at ease. We know he is in good hands. Charlotte came over a day before the booking to meet with us and go over the care instructions. We have a puppy in training and she was happy to use the training techniques during her stay. She is very responsible and we highly recommend her.”

“Dustin walks my dog daily, and this was his first time watching him at my place. He did an incredible job and is super flexible and easy to work with. My (giant) dog loves him, and he took great care of the place. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets from the age of 5 and have been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets as my own. I would love to meet your furry friend and give you peace of mind that they will be well cared for while you are away. Jake loves to play with other dogs his size and they always have a good time running and playing together. He is indifferent to cats and I would love a fur ball to sit in my lap. I have a lot of experience giving medications to dogs and other pets. I will work with you to give your pet the things they are familiar with at home. Look for lots of photos and videos of your pet having fun while they are with me! I work full time but I am home throughout the day so that they are only alone for a maximum of 2-4 hours. We love to walk and visit the dog park in our spare time I have no commitments outside of work and can provide companionship and playtime with your family member and my Jake. I am more than happy to accommodate any needs your furry friend has and the schedule he or she needs.

I prioritize safety and comfort by closely following each pet’s routine and instructions from owners. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and feel secure in a calm environment. I always aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable and responsible care.

“Sheryl and her husband were truly OUTSTANDING! They came through for me when I found myself with an 11th hour need, and took excellent care of my 15week puppy over the weekend. They gave her lots of playtime and affection. You can trust Sheryl to take excellent care of your dog.”

“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”


“Sydnie was so sweet and caring with our babies! After her coming to meet us and Indy ahead of time, we knew we wouldn’t have to worry about anything and could just focus on our wedding weekend. We got update photos along the way, and she left us a nice card for when we got home. Definitely will be booking her again whenever we get around to going on our honeymoon!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for other families, and my own, since I was 14 years old! I have experience with young and old dogs of all sizes. I am a college student, and fairly active in the community, so always happy to make connections. I am down for whatever you and your dog need! I’m a student at the University of Delaware, so I have limited availability during the work day, but have at least one day of the weekends free and am available before or after classes! I care about making sure you’re at ease when you leave your pet in my care! It can be hard to leave behind a dog even for a short amount of time, and I want to assure that your experience, and your dog’s, are great! I have treats if necessary, am comfortable and experienced with dogs, and will use the commands that you prefer!

Danielle helped take care of my dog last minute during the holidays and was absolutely fantastic with my pup, was very responsive while I was on a trip, and even grabbed my pup an extra bag of food when she ran out. HIGHLY recommend Danielle for any pet/house sitting needs you have!!

Ashlyn stayed at our house, took care of Henry and Birdie, and allowed us to take a worry-free quick four day mini-vacation. She followed all of the instructions we had written out and she communicated whenever she left the house and always gave us an idea about what time she would return. We even "threw a few curveballs" with grandchildren stopping over, but she had no issues. Great job Ashlyn!
