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!

“Amanda was great! She is always on time and makes our dogs care her priority. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible dog sitter or walker.”


About: I've had Dogs and Cats ever since I can remember and animals need Consistancy, but most importantly they need Love and Patience... If given the chance to work and walk you're animals I would be more than willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you have a very happy dog........ Right now I am not working because i take care of my 82 year old mother which gives me some spare time to walk and care for other animals... Every single day when I get up or when they wake me up,lol, I take my german shepard, Nyla out for a walk and get her food and fresh water ready and in my free time she loves walks down the park, or having a catch in the backyard with her favorite ball. As for my other furry little friends, they get as much love as I could possibly give them every single day, besides cleaning their liter boxes, and feeding certain ones their wet food, and other ones just eat dry food, because their all so finicky,lol but also every single one of them are such love bugs and just want all the attention and they get it. "Temptations" treats is a very big part of their day, I shake the bag and all 13 come running and i care for many in my community. We have colonies of ferrals where i live and it's only right that i try to feed as many as i possibly can. With these rising temperatures, i put cold water with ice cubes outside atleast twice a day and make sure their bowls of food are fat and full for all my guys.......

“Cassandra was incredible. We used her 2x a day for a week, and she was extremely reliable, always early, and always left pics & reports! She was awesome and we will certainly look to her first if we ever use Rover again. Can’t recommend Cassandra enough!”


“Very great with pets! Good energy and talks to them so sweetly! Will definitely recommend and use again.”


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. 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 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.


“Alex is awesome! She has walked Reeze for us three times and we will definitely be scheduling with her in the future. She was completely accommodating and great with Reeze!”


“Jordan is patient and kind when working with my dog. She is punctual and flexible if you need her to be. I have already booked her for another walk and will continue to do so in the future.”


“Paz was very patient with my rambunctious 2 year old large pup!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for many years, including my own pets and neighbors dogs. I can walk/ pet sit during the weekdays. Im a dog lover and I am willing to help I can walk/pet sit dogs during the week days, preferably around 11 am to 6 pm. I am not available during the weekends. Don’t hesitate to reach out. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with long walking paths that offer plenty of sun and shade thanks to the trees.” If I were to pet sit at my home I have a friendly golden retriever that the dog can play with. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I am very careful with not letting them lose.

“Jameswas great and is always patient with my dog Chloe. I highly recommend him anytime you need some help with your dog or cat and I will be booking again in the future!”


About: Let's just say I might have more energy than your pet(s). I don’t just “watch” pets—I spend quality time with them. I have the ability to match their energy. I am up for a casual walk, a nice jog, belly rubs, or a friendly game of catch. I have been a math 🧮teacher at Ridley High school for the past 18 years. As a teacher, I have plenty of time in summer to care for pets. I am an avid hiker 🥾 and enjoy being outside in nature! Book me today 😁 In the summer most of my days are wide open. Oh, and I get bored easily. I like to stay busy. I have a passion for being outside, fitness, and pets. Why not blend them all 😁! In the clients home I will do what they ask and provide the services they require. Anything from spending quality time, to feeding, to administering medicine, to walking, games, or snuggles 🤗

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’ve taken care of many different animals in my life ranging from beta fish to lizards to small dogs to big dogs. I’m confident in dealing with any issues that may arise I’m currently the owner of a golden retriever and a brown lab golden retriever mix that have trained as seeing eye dogs but unfortunately dropped out of the program for minor health reasons. I take them out every morning and afternoon and night. I feed them most days as my spouse does some days as well. My moto is let them have fun but be safe about it. For example in our apartment we will throw the toy up and down the hallway but we make sure that nothing breakable is in the way. We are also lucky enough to have a field close by with a long lead to let them run around and play fetch with them.
